Cultivating To Immortality

The yellow-clothed young man scoffed at Fang Hong's question, sizing him up with a playful look before saying, "Eighth-level True Immortal? Listen up, my name is Zhang Zhuang. Those few moves just now were merely a greeting, nothing major."

"A greeting? I think you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?" Fang Hong's eyes were unfriendly.

"Not bad, you've got some discerning eyes."

"Kid, someone entrusted me to deal with you. If you know what's good for you, come with me to the martial arts arena now, and I'll teach you a good lesson," Zhang Zhuang sneered.

As expected, upon hearing this, Fang Hong immediately understood. This person must have been sent by Wang Hu's brother; there could be no one else.

Presumably, Wang Hu's brother received news from the Family that Wang Hu had died during the entrance examination, and thus suspected him of killing Wang Hu, which is why he sent Zhang Zhuang to test him.

Seeing Fang Hong remain silent, Zhang Zhuang thought he was scared, and a look of triumph appeared on his face as he continued to threaten, "Kid, don't even think about escaping. You can't avoid this matter today."

"If you don't agree, I'll find every way to harass you. You won't be able to cultivate in peace."

Hearing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but shake his head and smile. If they weren't in the sect, would this big guy be able to say more than two sentences?

"A regular fight or a life-and-death battle?" Fang Hong asked with a smile.

"Engaging in a life-and-death battle with an eighth-level True Immortal like you would only make people say I'm bullying the weak. We'll have a regular fight; I just need to beat you down." Zhang Zhuang sneered.

"A regular fight? If it's not a life-and-death battle, I won't fight."

"What? You don't dare to have a life-and-death battle with me? Are you afraid of death? If you're afraid of death, then hurry back and wag your tail, save yourself from being an eyesore here." Fang Hong mocked unceremoniously.

"What? How dare you be so arrogant?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhuang's face instantly flushed with anger, his eyes wide with rage, and the Immortal Power fluctuations around him became violent.

"If you don't dare to fight, then hurry up and get lost. Don't bark like a mad dog at the entrance of my Immortal Cave," Fang Hong said, unconcerned by Zhang Zhuang's fury, adding another sentence.

After speaking, Fang Hong no longer looked at Zhang Zhuang, turning to walk back into his Immortal Cave.

Zhang Zhuang was incredibly angry, his chest burning with rage. This kid was too arrogant, arrogantly beyond measure.

With a mere eighth-level True Immortal Cultivation, in front of him, a True Immortal at Perfection, he actually dared to display such an arrogant demeanor, simply not putting him in his eyes.

However, no matter how angry he was, Zhang Zhuang did not forget his true purpose for this trip.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. He couldn't joke about a life-and-death battle.

He had come to Qianxian Peak at the behest of his Wang Ba elder brother. His mission was clear: to test Fang Hong's strength.

To see how much this kid, who had just entered the sect not long ago, was capable of. He was not meant to engage in any life-and-death battle with the other party.

As for why his elder brother Wang Ba wanted to test such a newcomer who had just joined the sect, Zhang Zhuang was also puzzled, completely at a loss.

But since his elder brother hadn't explained the reason, he didn't dare to ask more. Matters like life-and-death battles required utmost caution.

Wang Ba was indeed Wang Hu's biological elder brother. Fang Hong's earlier guess was not wrong; Zhang Zhuang was indeed a person specially sent by Wang Ba.

Seeing Fang Hong about to return to his Immortal Cave, Zhang Zhuang quickly shouted loudly at Fang Hong, "Ten thousand Immortal Stones. Kid, as long as you can defeat me, I'll give you ten thousand Immortal Stones."

Fang Hong's footsteps paused. He turned to look at Zhang Zhuang, first shaking his head helplessly, then sighing, "Alas, it seems if I don't send you away today, you're going to pester me endlessly."

Fang Hong really didn't want to waste time on such a person, but the other party was blocking his entrance, so he couldn't avoid him even if he wanted to.

"Alright, then we'll have a regular fight. But the ten thousand Immortal Stones you mentioned as a prize is a bit too little, not very meaningful."

"If we're going to fight, let's add some stakes, increase it to one hundred thousand. As long as you're willing to put up one hundred thousand Immortal Stones as a prize, I'll fight you. How about it?" Fang Hong asked with a smile.

"What? One hundred thousand?" Upon hearing this number, Zhang Zhuang's eyes widened instantly, and a storm surged in his heart.

One hundred thousand Immortal Stones. This was almost all the wealth he had accumulated over so many years.

He really couldn't understand where this kid in front of him got such confidence? And dared to demand a prize of one hundred thousand Immortal Stones.

Zhang Zhuang stood still, his mind rapidly calculating.

Although one hundred thousand Immortal Stones was a lot, if he could defeat Fang Hong, he could not only complete the test mission assigned by his elder brother but also give this kid a good beating to vent his anger, and incidentally win back one hundred thousand Immortal Stones. Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem like a loss.

After a moment of thought, Zhang Zhuang agreed, "Okay, one hundred thousand it is. But let me be clear, if you lose, you also have to give me one hundred thousand Immortal Stones."

"Nonsense. If I lose, I won't give you a single Immortal Stone." Fang Hong rolled his eyes at Zhang Zhuang.

"Don't I know what you're thinking? Aren't you just trying to use the opportunity of competition to give me a good beating? You want to beat me up and still expect me to give you Immortal Stones? How can there be such a good thing?"

Zhang Zhuang's thoughts were exposed by Fang Hong, and he felt a bit embarrassed, so he didn't say anything more.

He was afraid that if he continued to speak, Fang Hong would really refuse to fight him, and then not only would he not be able to beat Fang Hong, but he wouldn't even be able to complete the mission assigned by his elder brother.

Zhang Zhuang suppressed the displeasure in his heart, glaring fiercely at Fang Hong and saying, "Let's go, to the battle arena now. I want to see what abilities you truly possess to be so arrogant."

After speaking, he no longer lingered, flying directly towards the base of Qianxian Peak.

Fang Hong looked at Zhang Zhuang's retreating figure, a cunning smile playing on the corner of his lips. Someone was actively delivering Immortal Stones to him; such a good thing, he wouldn't refuse it for nothing.

Fang Hong didn't delay either, following behind Zhang Zhuang as he flew down.

Subsequently, the two arrived one after another at the teleportation array beside Qianxian Peak, stepping into the array.

As the light of the teleportation array flashed, the two had already arrived at Wudou Peak, the sect's designated battle competition area.

The sect's battle arena was built on the summit of Wudou Peak, with the entire summit being wide and flat.

Looking across, one could see hundreds of circular arenas neatly arranged, with a certain distance between each arena, ensuring they did not interfere with each other.

Around the arenas, many stepped spectator seats were also built, making it convenient for other disciples to come and watch the competitions.

Wudou Peak could be said to be the busiest area in the sect on a daily basis, with a large number of disciples gathering here every day.

Everyone was either here to improve their strength, finding fellow disciples to engage in competitive battle, and sparring with Immortal Arts and Immortal Techniques.

Or they felt that simple sparring was uninteresting and wanted to add some stakes, engaging in gambling matches here to win some Immortal Stones or other Cultivation resources.
