Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Then Fight!

Nearly a thousand eyes, filled with shock, were fixed on Fang Bai. All martial artists now knew that this Bitao Martial Academy core disciple, standing tall and proud on the stone platform, was far from as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Among them, the most astonished was Ge Feng.

Back when Fang Bai participated in the battle for core disciple promotion at Bitao Martial Academy, he revealed extraordinary strength. At that time, Ge Feng guessed that Fang Bai might be hiding some of his true power and believed that he could contend with the academy’s personal transmission disciples.

But now, Ge Feng realized he had made a grave mistake. Without even making a move, Fang Bai had sent personal transmission disciple Yang Gang and core disciple Long Xing flying. This level of strength was something only a Desolate Level powerhouse possessed.

Could it be that Fang Bai’s cultivation level had already reached the Desolate Level Realm?

Considering this, Ge Feng felt a mix of sorrow and joy.

The joy was that a twenty-year-old Desolate Level martial artist was an extremely rare existence even in third-grade sects. If cultivated with full effort, Fang Bai truly might have the potential to lead Bitao Martial Academy to its rise, becoming a force capable of competing with the Purple Flame Sect.

The sorrow was that the more outstanding Fang Bai performed, the more anxious the Purple Flame Sect would become. They would try all means to eliminate the threat in its infancy.

Ge Feng suspected that the Purple Flame Sect wouldn’t deal with Fang Bai openly, but they would definitely take action in secret. The journey back to Bitao Martial Academy after the conclusion of this sect convention would be the most dangerous.

Ge Feng suddenly looked toward Zhuge Lian below the stone platform, thinking that if Fang Bai could persuade this Xuannv Sect disciple to ask Han Xingyu to step in, and issue a warning to the Purple Flame Sect in the name of Xuannv Sect, perhaps they wouldn’t dare kill Fang Bai.

However, the Xuannv Sect and the Purple Flame Sect had always had a good relationship. Even if Fang Bai could persuade Zhuge Lian, it seemed unlikely that Han Xingyu, as an elder of Xuannv Sect, would agree, considering the interests of her own sect.

What to do?

In the blink of an eye, Ge Feng’s thoughts raced, and he worried about Fang Bai’s life.

What Ge Feng did not know was that his worries were completely unnecessary.

"Elder Ge, it’s our turn to issue challenges now, right?"

Under the gaze of all the martial artists present, Fang Bai asked Ge Feng.

"Uh..."

Ge Feng’s mind was in turmoil, a jumble of thoughts, and he nodded absentmindedly.

"Then we can challenge any sect, right?"

Fang Bai asked again.

"Uh..."

Ge Feng nodded again, but when he saw the trace of a smile on the corner of Fang Bai’s mouth, he suddenly snapped back to reality, sensing something amiss. Hurriedly, he said, "The sect we are challenging is the Tiger Roar Sect..."

"The Tiger Roar Sect is too weak; it’s not interesting to challenge them!"

Fang Bai looked down at the Purple Flame Sect disciples below the stone platform and, with a provocative gaze, said, "If we are to challenge, let’s choose the strongest!"

"This guy is a madman! He wants to lead Bitao Martial Academy down the path to doom!"

Seeing Fang Bai repeatedly provoking the Purple Flame Sect, the martial artists present couldn’t help but silently mourn the future fate of Bitao Martial Academy.

"Fang Bai has always been reserved and low-key, never provoking anyone. What’s gotten into him today? It’s over... it’s all over..."

Ge Feng stared blankly at Fang Bai, while sensing a strong killing intent emanating from Zu Tiangang. He knew that the Sect Master of a third-rank sect had been enraged and immediately felt engulfed by despair.

A third-rank Sect Master, a Vast Level Perfection mighty figure—should he make a move, Fang Bai would have no chance of survival.

Ge Feng’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, moved closer to Fang Bai’s side, and positioned himself between Zu Tiangang and Fang Bai.

Ge Feng knew he could not stop a strike from Zu Tiangang, but he couldn’t bear to see Fang Bai killed. So, he gathered his True Yuan, remained on full alert, and prepared to risk his life in a desperate attempt to block the attack for Fang Bai.

"Fang Bai, if Zu Tiangang makes a move, I’ll block for you," he said. "Then you must rush to the Xuannv Sect and beg Zhuge Lian to save your life! Whether she agrees or not, it’s up to your destiny!"

Ge Feng conveyed this message to Fang Bai using Thread Condensation Sound Transmission.

Ge Feng was offering his life selflessly and sincerely, which touched Fang Bai slightly. He smiled faintly and said, "Elder Ge, you worry too much! Go back and sit in your stone chair. Just watch as I fight the Purple Flame Sect Disciple! Once I defeat the disciple of the Purple Flame Sect, you will be able to sit in that central stone chair and bask in the glory!"

"Glory my ass! You’re getting me killed here!"

Ge Feng’s facial muscles twitched a few times as he inwardly gave a bitter smile.

Killing intent enveloped Zu Tiangang, his eyes sharp as swords. Although filled with rage, he remained motionless.

The more arrogant Fang Bai appeared, the more wary Zu Tiangang felt. He dared not act rashly, believing Fang Bai must have something to rely on.

Zu Tiangang learned from Zu Yu that Bai Fang had a close relationship with Zhuge Lian, who was a disciple of the Xuannv Sect. Recalling Han Xingyu’s reluctance to discuss the marriage alliance between the two sects, and her unusual expression, Zu Tiangang was shrouded in an ominous premonition.

"Could it be that the Xuannv Sect plans for Zhuge Lian to marry Fang Bai from the Bitao Martial Academy?"

Zu Tiangang’s heart skipped a beat as he thought about the possibility more and more.

Although Fang Bai hailed from a fourth-rank Sect and was a martial Dao genius from the Bitao Martial Academy with a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root, he also had the favor of Bai Fang, a mid-tier Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, and was likely to inherit his legacy. His potential seemed boundless, and it was plausible that Xuannv Sect might choose Zhuge Lian to marry him.

The Xuannv Sect was capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Purple Flame Sect as a third-rank Sect. Should Fang Bai successfully marry Zhuge Lian, he would essentially have a protective talisman. Then, the Purple Flame Sect would have to weigh their actions heavily if they wished to kill Fang Bai.

With the protection of Xuannv Sect, along with the full support and training from both Bai Fang and the Bitao Martial Academy, Fang Bai would undoubtedly pose a significant threat to the Purple Flame Sect in the future. It wasn’t implausible to think he could even topple the sect from its position as the strongest sect in the Thousand Lakes Country.

Up to now, Zu Tiangang had no idea that Fang Bai and Bai Fang were the same person.

Now, as Fang Bai claimed to challenge the Purple Flame Sect, Zu Tiangang saw it as nothing more than posturing under the Xuannv Sect’s protection. Therefore, he decided to disregard it.

Zu Tiangang had no interest in knowing what Zu Tiangang was thinking. He beckoned to the Purple Flame Sect Disciples sitting under the Stone Platform, continuing to provoke a challenge with a loud voice: "Now, on behalf of the Bitao Martial Academy, I issue a challenge to the Purple Flame Sect. Which disciple dares to come forward for a fight?"

Fang Bai’s repeated provocations were met with silence from Zu Tiangang, and each member of the Purple Flame Sect, though fuming inside, did not dare to step forward and accept the challenge.

"Sect Master, this damn disciple from the Bitao Martial Academy is insufferable! Since he has initiated the challenge, let our Sect Disciples fight him and show him the renowned reputation of the Purple Flame Sect is no fallacy!" an Elder of the Purple Flame Sect finally couldn’t bear it any longer and stood up to speak.

"Let there be a fight!"

The other high-ranking officials of the Purple Flame Sect also expressed similar sentiments.

These elders were well aware of Fang Bai’s connections with Zhuge Lian and Bai Fang, harboring the same reservations as Zu Tiangang. However, they were truly infuriated by Fang Bai’s arrogance and pomposity. Amidst the eyes of disciples from various powerful Sects, they pondered over how they could salvage their honor if they did not teach Fang Bai a lesson.

Zu Tiangang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling upon Fang Bai. Suddenly, he slapped the armrest of his stone chair and bellowed, "Then fight!"
