The Duan Family was an overlord force in the New Expedition Territory.
Although there were only three Saints in the family, no forces in the surrounding territories dared to provoke them.
This was because one of the Saints had reached the peak of the Third Level Holy King level.
Moreover, Duan Dongyu had great potential among the younger generation and had attracted the attention of many Saint Emperors and Saints. If he could join the Heaven-Defying Alliance, the Duan Family's position would be even more secure.
Therefore, Duan Dongyu was arrogant and domineering.
"Duan Dongyu?"
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He could tell from the aura that Duan Dongyu exuded that his cultivation should be at the First Level Holy King level.
"Duan Dongyu only recently stepped into the Saint Realm, but he already has the combat power of a Second Level Holy King."
Yuan Venerate Han said.
Fang Chen shook his head and did not think much about it.
No matter how powerful the forces behind Duan Dongyu were, as long as he did not provoke him, everything would be fine.
Once you provoke me, then no one in the world will be able to stop you.
Duan Dongyu's arrival caused an uproar below the Sacred Drum Tower.
Countless martialists avoided Duan Dongyu with some fear.
Duan Dongyu stood with his hands clasped behind his back and looked up at the top of the Sacred Drum Tower with a contemptuous smile.
"I remember that Wang Daoyun sounded seven drums in one go back then. After joining the Heaven-Defying Alliance, he was valued by all the old monsters and was given endless cultivation resources. This was also the reason for his rapid progress.
I, Duan Dongyu, want to see how mysterious this legendary technique left behind by a Saint is, "Duan Dongyu said confidently.
After saying that, he leaped up and arrived at the top of the Sacred Drum Tower.
Dong!
Duan Dongyu urged the power in his body and poured it into the drums. In an instant, the first drum vibrated and emitted a ringing sound.
Then, Duan Dongyu came to the second drum in a domineering manner.
Dong! Dong!
For the first three drums, Duan Dongyu didn't use any strength to strike them easily.
"He is indeed a genius of the Duan Family in the New Expedition Territory. He is really powerful."
"He struck the first three drums so easily. Although Duan Dongyu is a good-for-nothing, he still has the ability."
Many people sighed and thought that Duan Dongyu's potential was too great.
Dong!
He stopped in front of the fourth drum and placed his hands on the drum.
A minute later, the fourth drum began to vibrate.
Warm applause could be heard from the crowd below. Sounds of discussion could be heard incessantly.
Being able to sound four bells in a row meant that Duan Dongyu had the qualifications to join the Heaven Defying Alliance. The next test wouldn't be too difficult for him.
"I wonder how many bells this Dong Yu will be able to sound?"
Many people saw that Duan Dongyu did not stop and continued to walk to the fifth drum. Discussions broke out.
"Brother Fang, what do you think?"
Yuan Venerate Han glanced at Duan Dongyu before asking.
He had to admit that this fellow's potential was not bad.
"He can't sound the fifth bell," Fang Chen said calmly.
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, at the top of the Holy Drum Tower, in front of the fifth drum, Duan Dongyu tried his best to make the drum shake slightly, but no sound came out.
"Hmph, I don't believe you."
Wang Daoyun had been able to sound seven bells in the past. Now, he was encountering difficulties in front of the fifth drum. He was unwilling to accept this.
Duan Dongyu roared and displayed the unique skill of the Duan Clan. His hands kept waving, and thousands of palm prints appeared in the void, bombarding the fifth drum in unison.
Weng!
A soft voice could be heard coming from it.
However, it only lasted for a second before it came to an abrupt end.
Pfft!
Duan Dongyu's body retreated as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Deng! Deng!
Deng! After stabilizing his body, Duan Dongyu stared at the fifth drum with a gloomy expression.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging. He was unwilling to accept this.
"Almost. Just a little bit more and I would have been able to sound the fifth drum."
Crash!
He landed on the ground with a dispirited look on his face.
He had originally thought that he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Wang Daoyun. Who would have thought that he would be stopped at the fifth drum?
Many people in the crowd shook their heads.
Wang Daoyun had been recognized as the number one genius of the Nine Great Territories back then. Duan Dongyu's achievements had been entirely due to the cultivation resources of the Duan Family. How could he compare to Wang Daoyun?
"Hm?"
Duan Dongyu was a little annoyed when he heard the discussion in the crowd and got ready to leave.
At that moment, he saw Fang Chen and Yuan Venerate Han not far away.
"Hmph."
He snorted coldly and strolled over before stopping in front of Fang Chen.
"Kid."
Duan Dongyu provoked.
"What?
Is there a problem? "
Fang Chen shrugged, not afraid of Duan Dongyu in the slightest.
"Are you mocking me?"
Duan Dongyu said coldly, "Although I, Duan Dongyu, have stopped at the fifth drum, there aren't many in the younger generation of the nine territories who have greater potential than me. Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to mock me?"
Duan Dongyu directly attacked Fang Chen. Some people in the know knew that Duan Dongyu was jealous that Fang Chen had obtained the Heaven-Defying Alliance and was looking for an excuse to attack him.
"Mock me?"
Fang Chen was stunned. He originally wanted to ignore Duan Dongyu, but the latter's behavior was a little too much.
"Duan Dongyu."
Yuan Venerate Han spoke.
"I remember that the Heaven-Defying Alliance has a rule that disciples cannot interfere with the assessment of other disciples."
Duan Dongyu said, "Could it be that you are so powerful that you can ignore the rules of the Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
"You …"
Yuan Venerate Han was furious.
A mere Second Level Sacred King who had not even joined the Heaven-Defying Alliance dared to challenge him.
The aura around him rippled as he prepared to teach Duan Dongyu a lesson.
The surrounding people also looked over with interest, ready to watch a good show.
"Others might be afraid of you, Yuan Venerate Han, but I, Duan Dongyu, am not."
Duan Dongyu sneered.
Buzz!
The void suddenly became oppressive as endless pressure came from the sky.
A drawn-out voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Junior Brother Han, you don't have to interfere in this matter."
Everyone was stunned. Even Yuan Venerate Han was a little surprised.
The person who had spoken was Wang Daoyun. Given his status in the Dao Palace, no one in the Nine Great Territories dared to provoke him.
Even the Nine Saints of the Nine Saint Territory had to treat him with respect.
"Brother Fang, let's go back."
Yuan Venerate Han's expression changed as he spoke.
Fang Chen shook his head and looked up at the void before turning to look at Yuan Venerate Han.
"How dare a young master of a mere territory scold a disciple of the Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
Fang Chen said, "Brother Han, you have a special status. You don't have to interfere in this matter. Leave everything to me."
After saying that, he gently patted Yuan Venerate Han on the shoulder.
"What did you just say?"
Fang Chen walked over to Duan Dongyu.
"I said, what right do you have to mock me, Duan Dongyu, when you are just a Yin Yang Origin Realm ant?
Who gave you the guts? "
Duan Dongyu repeated word by word.
Fang Chen nodded and ignored the astonishment of the crowd as he ascended the Holy Drum Tower.
He looked down at Duan Dongyu from above.
"Mock you?
You are not qualified for me to mock you. "
After saying that, Fang Chen circulated the power in his body and poured it into the bell and drum.
"What is he doing?"
"Has he been provoked by Duan Dongyu and wants to compete with Duan Dongyu in terms of potential?"
"This fellow is a little stupid. He is just a Yin Yang Origin Realm. Does he think that he can challenge Duan Dongyu just because he has Yuan Venerate Han as his backer?"
Many people shook their heads and felt that Fang Chen's actions were too irrational.
Of course, even more people were watching the show and mocking him.
"Young people these days really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"He was lucky enough to obtain the Heaven-Defying Token and was brought to Nine Saint City by Yuan Venerate Han. Does he think that he is invincible?"
"I bet that this fellow can only sound the bell and drum three times at most."
"Three?
I think he can only sound the bell and drum two times at most. "
Sounds of discussion could be heard everywhere.
Yuan Venerate Han was very calm when he saw Fang Chen's actions. He was well aware of Fang Chen's potential.
Duan Dongyu smirked and sneered.
"Trying to play to the gallery?"
Dong!
The sound of the bell echoed.
By the time everyone came back to their senses, Fang Chen had already arrived in front of the second drum.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The sound of the bell rang three times in a row. Everyone below was stunned and tongue-tied.
"What's going on?"
"Is this fellow's potential so terrifying?"
Everyone was shocked. Being able to sound the bell and drum four times in a row was already comparable to Duan Dongyu's potential.
"Look, he is walking towards the fifth drum."
Some sharp-eyed people saw Fang Chen's actions.
Duan Dongyu's face turned pale and murderous intent filled his eyes.
Dong!
Without any hesitation, Fang Chen's palms landed on the drum and a melodious sound reverberated in the sky above Nine Saint City for a long time.
Five rings!
Everyone below was completely dumbfounded.
This fellow had actually done what Duan Dongyu had failed to do.
Being able to sound the bell and drum five times was considered one of the best in the Nine Great Territories.
Even if he entered the Heaven-Defying Alliance, he would be valued and nurtured by the higher-ups.
At this time, everyone no longer looked at Fang Chen with hostility. Instead, they were filled with envy and jealousy.
Whoosh!
Everyone raised their heads in anticipation, waiting for Fang Chen to continue charging forward.
This was because he had not used much strength to sound the first four drums.
"Hmm?
It's over? "
Everyone was disappointed.
Fang Chen landed in front of Duan Dongyu with a faint smile.
"If an ant is stronger than you, then what are you, Duan Dongyu?
Are you worse than an ant? "
Fang Chen's voice echoed below the drum.
"You …"
Duan Dongyu's aura surged as he glared at Fang Chen.
"Young Master."
Several servants hurriedly stopped the enraged Duan Dongyu.
They could not fight in Nine Saint City. Otherwise, the Heaven-Defying Alliance would not sit idly by.
"Hmph, just wait and see."
Duan Dongyu threatened before leaving.
Countless eyes fell on Fang Chen.
He had used his unparalleled potential to crush Duan Dongyu and become famous in Nine Saint City.
At this time, on the highest floor of the Heaven-Defying Alliance's pagoda.
Wang Daoyun stood with his hands behind his back. He could clearly see the scene in front of the Saint Drum Tower through the window.
"He was able to sound five drums so easily. Not bad.
If he used his full strength, would he be able to sound seven drums? "
Even Wang Daoyun couldn't see through Fang Chen and couldn't grasp him.
He felt that the latter was hiding some secrets.
