Gate of God

Most importantly, every disciple was guessing if Fang Zhengzhi’s skyrocketed strength had something to do with the changes in the world.

After all, Fang Zhengzhi was already extremely powerful two months ago. Even then, he was only comparable to an average Sage, which wasn’t enough for him to become a threat to the five sects in the Holy Region.

However… only two months had passed, and Fang Zhengzhi had miraculously gotten so much stronger. Was that really possible?

This was unbelievable!

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower couldn’t believe that someone could get so much stronger in merely two months.

In that case, it was normal for them to link Fang Zhengzhi’s strength to the changes in the world.

After all, there were beasts in Ling Yun Tower’s territory that had mysteriously gotten much stronger than before.

Since both cases involved a sudden increase in strength, could there be any connections?

The disciples glanced at each other and saw the same expression. All of them shared the same thought.

However, now wasn’t the time for them to think about these matters. Since Qian Ye had given them an order, they would have to discover the truth with their strength.

“Let’s begin!” The eight ladies standing at the front finally talked as they pointed their swords at Fang Zhengzhi.

A dazzling radiance appeared with a buzz.

It was an intense yellow light that came from the eight disciples. The yellow light then spread towards all directions like a dust storm.

It was a stunning sight to behold.

At the very least, it left Ping Yang and Lin Mubai speechless.

Fang Zhengzhi also squinted his eyes as he could clearly see the changes in the surrounding. He had expected everyone to light up at the same time, but that wasn’t happening.

Although the progress wasn’t slow, he could clearly tell that the lights were appearing in a certain order, almost as if they were passed on from one disciple to another.

Beginning from the first eight ladies, the light started spreading in all directions towards the back. In just a moment, every single disciple was glowing with a yellow light.

Following which, Fang Zhengzhi felt a tremendous pressure crashing towards him. A sandstorm had surrounded his body.

Boom! The entire ground shook from the power of the combined Dao of almost 200 disciples. It was much more powerful than before when there were only five disciples.

“It’s actually possible for so many disciples to use the same Dao simultaneously?” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips twitched, for it was impossible for him to be unastonished.

After all, this was abnormal.

He could comprehend Dao with a single glance, but were all these disciples capable of the same? If that was the case, the world would be a terrifying place!

There must be some trickery involved!

Although Fang Zhengzhi never underestimated other people’s talent, he would never believe that they had accumulated as much potential as he did.

There was only a total of 36 Heaven Dao Tablets, and he had 23 tablets to himself. In that case, how could there be enough tablets for these disciples to comprehend Dao? Fang Zhengzhi didn’t continue to ponder this issue, because that wasn’t his way of doing things. Of course, it was also because the sandstorm was coming down on him.

“Sandstorm? That’s easy!” Fang Zhengzhi quickly summoned an identical yellow light on his body with his mind and it merged with the sandstorm that was crashing towards him.

“What?!”

“He really did it?!”

“That was quick. Is it possible that he has mastered Ling Yun Tower’s…”

“Impossible, he’s just lucky. He must have gotten lucky!”

Although they had foreseen this outcome, they were still taken aback when Fang Zhengzhi’s Dao merged with their Dao.

Meanwhile, Qian Ye fixed her gaze on Fang Zhengzhi in order to discover his secrets.

However, she eventually disappointed herself.

This was because Fang Zhengzhi had merged too quickly with the disciples of Ling Yun Tower. It felt like the sandstorm had activated the yellow light on his body.

“Move!” The disciples moved again, and a spot of purple light appeared within the yellow lights.

The purple light came from a disciple at the front. It contained a spark of electricity and spread rapidly in all directions like a wildfire.

In almost the blink of an eye, all the yellow lights had transformed into a purple light, engulfing the surrounding with lighting and thunder.

Huge thunder clouds filled the air and sent many bolts of purplish lightning towards Fang Zhengzhi.

“Is what it means when they say women’s mood change at the flip of a dime? It is really fast indeed, but the pity is… I am very fast too!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled at the lightning that was about to hit him.

Boom!

A purplish flame lit up on Fang Zhengzhi’s body. He was engulfed by the flame lightning as if he was taking a bath.

“…”

“…”

Ling Yun Tower’s disciples were speechless. The main reason they used the Dao of Flame Lightning was because it was fast and powerful.

However… It appeared that Fang Zhengzhi was equally fast and powerful!

“Why is this happening?!”

“This is impossible?!”

“Completely ineffective… it’s completely ineffective…”

The disciples were dumbfounded.

Nevertheless, since the test had already begun, they had no choice but to keep going even if they couldn’t believe their eyes.

“Move!” They heard another command.

Just like before, a turquoise light appeared amidst the countless purple lights and transformed into a raging wave.

Despite that… It was completely futile!

Fang Zhengzhi proved to them with his own effort that a man could change his mood just as quickly as a woman!

He could merge with them completely with a single glance.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get rid of him!

“…”

After a dozen different Dao, the disciples were left slack-jawed as they looked towards the man who was smiling since the beginning.

They felt helpless for the first time.

Did greater number equate to greater strength?

Normally speaking, that was the reality. However, abnormality existed, just like how almost 200 disciples couldn’t manage to take down a single Fang Zhengzhi.

“Move!” The disciples gritted their teeth and kept changing their Dao. However, their effort was in vain. They could never imagine that the 18 years old young man standing before them had comprehended more than 2,000 Dao.

“No matter how strong my opponents are, they cannot harm me!” Fang Zhengzhi tilted his head up slightly whilst holding Traceless Sword in one hand, keeping his other hand behind his back. His blue robe was dancing in the wind.

For some reason, he recalled this poem from his previous life, which adequately described how he felt right now.

He was like a small boat drifting in a storm. However, no matter how strong the wind and waves were, he would never capsize.

“This boy is really… A freak!” Lin Mubai was badly injured, but he was so astounded by Fang Zhengzhi that he had forgotten about his injuries.

He was actually frightened by Fang Zhengzhi’s performance. Although he had really hoped that Fang Zhengzhi could pass the test, it still felt unreal when he saw that Fang Zhengzhi could do it so easily.

It wasn’t disbelief or amazement, it was just… Too humbling!?

As an emperor that commanded tens of thousands of troops, Lin Mubai was well versed with the ancient strategy of a ruler. One of the most important parts of the strategy was knowing how to control his subordinates.

Apart from managing his subordinates so that they can keep each other in check, he also needed to know his men.

In other words, he needed to be able to tell the loyal ones from the treacherous ones.

Therefore, Lin Mubai always knew that everyone was different, either psychologically, intellectually, or in terms of talent.

At this moment… Lin Mubai wanted to say, “Is his talent for real? Does such talent really exist in this world? What the hell is the point of living!”

Although Lin Mubai hardly scolded anyone, he felt like cursing currently.

“Why can’t I be so talented? If I was so talented, I wouldn’t have to wait for so long!”

“Father? Are you ok?” While Lin Mubai was drowning in his sorrow, he heard Ping Yang’s voice. She had obviously noticed his weird expression.

“No… It’s nothing, father is just… just a little jea… jealous…” As an emperor, Lin Mubai couldn’t express his emotions freely. However, he still voiced out his thoughts in front of Ping Yang. This was because he simply wanted to be a good and responsible father for Ping Yang.

“Jealous?” Ping Yang blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Mubai, before turning towards Fang Zhengzhi. She was startled by his words.

“Yup, I’m jealous of this kid!” Lin Mubai nodded and pointed at Fang Zhengzhi.

“Actually, I’m jealous of him as well. Although he was born in a humble family, he had lived with both his parents since he was young. His mother is really… Really good to him…”

“Ping Yang, trust your father. Your mother is equally great. Yu Er is the best woman in this world. She’s also the best mother in this world!” Lin Mubai stroked Ping Yang’s hair as he said that.

“Really?” Ping Yang raised her head and asked Lin Mubai.

“Of course!” Lin Mubai nodded firmly.

“Ok, Ping Yang believes you!” Ping Yang teared up a little when she looked at Lin Mubai. She then diverted her attention to Fang Zhengzhi, and for some reason, she became full of hope again.

However… While Ping Yang was full of hope, the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, including Cang Yue, were all feeling hopeless.

Truly hopeless!

After all, they had already changed their Dao over a hundred times, but Fang Zhengzhi remained indifferent.

Worse still, he was making all sorts of comments.

“Let the storm get stronger!”

“Faster! Hurry up if you could! I am sick of waiting!”

“Are you guys really so weak? Can you increase the difficulty? Why can’t you change to some advanced Dao? Do you guys not know any advanced Dao? Tell me if you don’t, even though won’t change a thing!”

“Don’t give up! Even if you can’t beat me now, you still can’t beat me in the future!”

“Although they say that the world is always changing, I think it’s a pity that the fact that you people cannot defeat me will never change!”

“…”

Although the disciples of Ling Yun Tower wanted to retaliate, they didn’t know what to say. Of course, the most important reason was because they needed to be highly concentrated. After all, it was very difficult to use the same Dao even for them.

However, Fang Zhengzhi was completely unfazed, because he didn’t need to be as concentrated as they were. He was taking it so easily that he eventually started singing.

“I am just a small small small small small bird. I want to fly and fly and fly but I could never make it far. I am searching high and low for a warm home, is that too much to ask for…”

“Come on, come on, let’s get moving!”

“Don’t you people like to ‘move’. Let’s keep moving, follow my tempo and started moving. Let us move together…”

“Pftt!” While Fang Zhengzhi was singing to his heart’s content, a disciple suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, following which, she let out a heart-rending scream as if she was stabbed by a sharp knife.

“You must be kidding me? How could I kill someone by singing?” Fang Zhengzhi was bewildered by what he saw, and he subconsciously looked towards that disciple who collapsed onto the ground.
