"What's the rush?
If it's a competition now, only the Elders and the Vice Sect Master are present. Not many people can see it. Those true disciples are still challenging the trials! "
Nicholas was not in a hurry. With a calm and composed look, he continued, "Ye Qing, kid, in three days, we will have a showdown at the True Disciple Peak's martial arts arena. At that time, I will let you understand the true difference between us!"
Nicholas said ruthlessly. In his opinion, Ye Qing passing all the trials in three minutes was probably just luck. It did not mean anything at all.
Perhaps, when the Elders were challenging the trials, what they valued was Ye Qing's talent in various sub-occupations. Therefore, it was not impossible for them to let him pass.
"Three days later? Sure, Nicholas. I'll accompany you to the end!" Ye Qing was all smiles, looking harmless.
Nicholas snorted coldly, took a step forward, and turned to leave.
The matter of the Temple's examination had come to an end. Nicholas had successfully passed the examination and officially become a Holy Son.
However, Nicholas could not feel happy now. His jealousy of Ye Qing was very deep.
Speaking of which, he did not have any grudges with Ye Qing. He only blamed Ye Qing for stealing his limelight, causing him, the number one true disciple, to lose face.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Nicholas rubbed his fists and was ready to show off his skills and make a name for himself in the battle with Ye Qing.
Recently, Ye Qing could be said to be in the limelight. If Nicholas could defeat Ye Qing, his reputation would definitely soar. No wonder he was the number one true disciple.
But what Nicholas did not know was that after three days, the Elders in charge of the Temple's examination had come out.
The Elders were all famous seniors of various sub-occupations, and all of them were at the nine-star level!
They were responsible for guarding the various trials, stopping the footsteps of many outstanding true disciples.
When the three days were up and the Temple's examination was over, the Elders walked out with bruises all over their faces.
Some of the alchemists' faces were as black as charcoal, and their hair was standing on end. It was obvious that they had experienced an explosion.
Some Beast Tamers had tattered clothes, as if they had been bitten by their own tamed beasts.
Some of the musicians looked like they were crazy. It was as if their souls had been greatly affected and they were in a daze.
Some chefs, on the other hand, were drooling. They were still thinking about the delicacies that Ye Qing had cooked during the challenge.
It was said that it was a bowl of Malatang. It looked like it was made with some ordinary ingredients, but it was extremely delicious. It was also rich in nutrients and could increase one's Origin Power.
It was said that when Ye Qing passed the test, he insisted on selling it at six yuan per bowl. Those elders who were in charge of the culinary test were not willing to try it at first.
After that, he tried a mouthful of Malatang, and then he couldn't stop eating and started eating crazily.
Unfortunately, after Ye Qing passed the trial, they couldn't eat Malatang anymore, so they always missed it.
There were also some rune legends who had a wretched look, their glabella turning black. They seemed to have been affected by the Bad Luck Possession rune when they were carrying out the rune test on Ye Qing.
All in all, the Elders who were in charge of the Temple's examination all had a very "deep" impression of Ye Qing.
However, Nicholas had left early and had no idea what had happened in the fifth checkpoint.
All the way until the time of Nicholas' arranged battle with Ye Qing was about to arrive did Nicholas hear about those Elders' situation.
Nicholas finally understood. For Ye Qing to be able to pass the trials within three minutes, what he relied on was absolutely not luck, but powerful strength!
"Good lad, Ye Qing, you indeed have something!
However, I, Nicholas, won't admit defeat. Recently, I had some breakthroughs in the Dao of Runes. Just nice, I'll use you to practice! "
The corners of Nicholas's mouth curled into a cold arc. His Dao of Runes could be said to have reached the acme of perfection. Cultivating the Black Wind Demon-Sealing Incantation was a nine-star rune inherited from the primordial era!
The Black Wind Demon-Sealing Incantation inherited from the primordial era had astonishing power. In these three days, Nicholas devoted himself to cultivation and had some breakthroughs, cultivating the Whirlwind Demon-Sealing Incantation to major success!
…
Higashiba Seimune, on Legacy Peak, in the practicing field, many legacy disciples gathered. There was also a group of Elders, including the eight great Elders.
Ye Qing's disciple, Gongsun Xiao, was among them. Now, her reverence for Ye Qing was even stronger. She knew that Ye Qing was an all-rounder, and what he was adept at was not just music.
In the sky above the practicing field, Ye Qing came across the air. With a flash of his figure, he descended onto the practicing field.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Numerous gazes looked over. Many legacy disciples regarded Ye Qing as their idol.
Qiu Ye Xuan was also watching in the crowd. She was Ye Qing's little fangirl. Although after many efforts, she was still unable to get close to Ye Qing, she was not discouraged.
With a swoosh, in the distant sky, a white-clothed man flew over. His bearing was extraordinary. It was the Law Enforcement Hall's Hall Master, Hak Hyuk!
With the arrival of Hak Hyuk, cheers rang out on Legacy Peak. Everyone was in high spirits!
Even Hak Hyuk had personally come to watch the battle. It could be seen how much importance he attached to Ye Qing's Nicholas.
In terms of talent, Ye Qing was undoubtedly a heaven's pride that suppressed eternity.
And Nicholas was not weak either. In terms of martial arts cultivation and runes, he was an extraordinary heaven's pride.
Hak Hyuk coming to watch the battle could be said to have given the two of them enough face.
Swoosh!
Not far away, a light shadow flickered over. Nicholas held a brilliant light in his hand, his feet stepping on an ancient stele. On it were engraved full of mysterious runes!
The stele under his feet was not a corporeal entity, but condensed through rune arts.
It was precisely the Whirlwind Fiend Sealing Spell that he cultivated!
That illusory stele already had tendencies to materialize. Nicholas' attainments in runes were truly shocking!
On the ground, a series of cheers erupted in the practicing field, all sighing with admiration at Nicholas's might.
"I heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Nicholas cultivates nine-star ancient runes, and it's even passed down from the ancient era! Too heaven-defying!"
"You all look, that stele under his feet, it's covered in runes. Could it be the legendary Black Wind Fiend Sealing Spell?"
"I heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Nicholas's Black Wind Fiend Sealing Spell is extremely powerful. You look at the densely packed runes on it. It's simply horrifying!"
A series of discussions came over. People were all inexplicably shocked, their eyes alarmed.
Needless to say, Nicholas's way of appearing was very flashy. Stepping on the stele and landing in the practicing field, it was dazzling!
"Ye Qing, I'm here!
Today, I'll trample you underfoot and establish my awe-inspiring reputation! "
Nicholas was peerlessly domineering, his words brimming with self-confidence.
After hearing about the encounter of those elders in the holy temple examination, Nicholas considered retreating.
But his attainments in runes had taken a step further, successfully cultivating the Black Wind Fiend Sealing Spell to the major accomplishment stage. With sufficient confidence, he could fight with Ye Qing.
"Hello, Nicholas. Next, prepare to start our show!"
Ye Qing smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, and said again, "Senior Hak Hyuk, please bear witness. Today, if you lose, you have to agree to one of my requests!"
Ye Qing's despicable voice came over, while Nicholas gave a cold snort, "Enough crap, let's fight! My stele is already unable to endure the thirst!"
