Of course, to be so terribly happy and to tease Fang Zhengzhi so daringly and unscrupulously, He Congming must have a bit of basis to do so.
Afterall, Fang Zhengzhi was just standing right in front of him.
More importantly, he was very sure that Fang Zhengzhi was definitely not waiting just for a bottle of Star Water.
The reason was very simple, that Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan had a gamble between them, and it was an important one.
So, how could Fang Zhengzhi throw away such a big opportunity, deliberately delaying his time in the Fourth Heaven, just for the tiny bottle of Star Water?
Hence, the conclusion was obvious, that Fang Zhengzhi was unable to solve the riddle in the Fourth Heaven!
This let He Congming to harbour hope once again, although he did not have the full confidence that he would win Fang Zhengzhi in the Fourth Heaven.
He Congming waited for Fang Zhengzhi's answer…..
But Fang Zhengzhi had obviously not heard He Congming's question, as he was concentrating on the Battle Illustration in front of him. He did not even bother to give He Congming a look.
He Congming had a change in his expression.
"You….." He Congming saw the silent Fang Zhengzhi, and a gust of frustration boiled inside him. The feeling of being looked down upon was indeed difficult to tolerate.
He felt like adding a few more sentences, such as, if you have the skill let's compete another round, I have more treasures and valuables, other than the Star Water.
But, just when he moved half a step forward, a sound rang beside his ears.
"Shut up!" It was very direct, and carried a wild sense of madness, without a tinge of politeness at all.
The person who said the sentence, was not Fang Zhengzhi naturally, but Yan Qing.
"Yan Qing, what did you say, I am your Senior, you….." He Congming could not complete his sentence, as Yan Qing had already reached in front of him.
Very quickly.
He Congming had not time to react.
The fierce vibe, coupled with a pair of beastly and ferocious eyes, sent a cold shiver down He Congming's spine. He inadvertently took a step back.
A very small step.
But his face was blushed red.
As a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple with certain qualities, to be afraid of a Junior who had just entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion a month ago?
How could his heart accept it?
As he was preparing to open his mouth, a fisted punch approached his front. Such a situation was very sudden, and he felt a little bewildered.
"Attack me? Yan Qing this fellow dare to attack me?!" He Congming could not comprehend why Yan Qing dared to attack his Senior.
Furthermore, his punch was so resolute and determined.
Bewilderment, shock.
But He Congming's skills were not weak afterall. Seeing the clenched punch, his body retreated three steps back swiftly, and a streak of white ice marks appeared below his feet.
Glazed Frost Technique.
This technique enabled He Congming to make use of the frost to dodge attacks swiftly, and could be considered to be one of his more valuable techniques. Even so, the corner of his shirt shattered due to the shock waves from Yan Qing's punch.
This undoubtedly led He Congming to feel even more shocked.
"Without any borrowed strength, this is pure power!" He Congming looked the at the shattered corner of his shirt, eyes wide in disbelief.
While he was in the Rebirth State, he was merely in the initial stage of the Rebirth State, and paled in comparison to Yan Qing, the top one elite of the War Pinnacle Empire, who was at the peak of the Rebirth State.
He was definitely much weaker.
Even though he had already entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion for four years.
Yan Qing did not open his mouth, and did not continue to attack He Congming. He did not even bother to give He Congming another look.
After one clenched punch.
Yan Qing returned to his initial position, and he gradually shifted his attention to the Battle Illustration. He seemed as though he had never moved.
He Congming moved his mouth slightly, as a drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His self-esteem seemed to be telling him, as an older disciple, that he should be treated with respect appropriately.
But…..
In front of this violent and impolite beast, he felt that he could temporarily suppress this sense of respect and dignity.
"Hmph, I am the older disciple, so naturally I won't fuss around with you!" He Congming mumbled to himself before looking ahead of him.
After the short noisy hustle, peace seemed to be restored in the Fourth Heaven.
However, the peace did not last too long. After a while, a majestic voice resounded in the air again.
"Chi Guyan, has entered the Seventh Heaven!"
"Chi Guyan has entered…..."
….."
"The Seventh Heaven? Hahaha, Senior Chi Guyan enters the Seventh Heaven!" He Congming's body palpitated vigorously upon hearing the voice. He could not contain his excitement as he yelled uncontrollably.
"Eh?" Yan Qing's vision turned towards He Congming.
"....." He Congming's lips moved again, as he felt like mocking Fang Zhengzhi with a few sentences. Afterall, such an opportunity was indeed rare.
However, upon seeing Yan Qing's cold heartless eyes, he swallowed his words back down.
It was needless to say that it was unbearable for He Congming to continue holding back.
And at this moment, another voice resounded in the air.
"Li Xuejin has entered the Fourth Heaven!"
"....."
Next, a silhouette appeared beside He Congming. He was clad in a white scholar gown, lightly blowing in the wind.
"Eh? Brother He, why is your shirt tattered?" Li Xuejin's vision fell on He Congming's sleeve as soon as he had reached the Fourth Heaven.
"....." He Congming's face was blushed in red.
Why could he say?
That it was from Yan Qing's one punch?
He could not do so, as afterall he was still an older disciple. Hence, he could only tolerate it silently. His face turned purple, resembling a pig's liver.
…..
In contrast to the atmosphere in the Fourth Heaven, it was not as tensed as it was in the Divine Rain Pond. It seemed truly liberating.
Cheering and chirping sounds reverberated throughout the Divine Rain Pond.
Sixth Elder's face was rosy and fresh red in colour. He found a place to sit down, and called for someone to bring him a pot of tea.
It could be said that he was as relaxed as ever.
Behind him, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were similarly as excited.
"Senior Chi Guyan is really too powerful!"
"She managed to reach the Seventh Heaven! Such speed and efficiency had never been witnessed before in the history of the Heaven Dao Pavilion!"
"Yes, based on such swiftness, it is only be a matter of time for her to enter the Eighth Heaven!"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were exhilarated. If Sixth Elder and the disciples were said to be initially worried about the situation, they had no feelings of that anymore, upon hearing that news.
How could a person who was unable to even pass the Fourth Heaven…..
Be a threat to Chi Guyan, who had already reached the Seventh Heaven?
Unless, a miracle appeared!
No…..
Even if there were to be a miracle, it was impossible!
"You guys feel, is it possible for Senior Chi Guyan to enter the Ninth Heaven?"
"Ninth Heaven? This….. In the history of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, there was only one person to ever do so. I think this possibility is still….."
"True, to enter the Ninth Heaven is too difficult already!"
As this competition's victor became increasingly clear, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, naturally, hoped for even more miracles to happen.
However, just like what they had said, the Ninth Heaven was indeed to difficult!
Of course, as to whether Chi Guyan was really able to enter the Ninth Heaven, they were just merely discussing that issue among themselves.
Time gradually passed by once again.
Not long after, a piece of news from the Divine Rain Pond could be heard.
Yan Qing has entered the Fifth Heaven!
"Actually passed this stage?"
"This Yan Qing, how powerful!"
"Indeed, his status of being the top one elite of the War Pinnacle Empire is well deserved!"
The news about Yan Qing was a bit of a shock to Sixth Elder and the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. Because in theory, even if Fang Zhengzhi were to really encounter a problem in the Fourth Heaven.
He should still be able to reach the Fifth Heaven before Yan Qing has done so.
But the result was that Yan Qing had overtaken Fang Zhengzhi, being a step ahead of him.
"This Yan Qing, not bad!" As Six Elder was complimenting Yan Qing, he began considering how he could accept Yan Qing as his disciple.
And the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, at this moment, began discussing and chatting among themselves.
Not long after, the news of Li Xuejin entering the Fifth Heaven was also heard. He was one step ahead of He Congming, who had initially entered the Fourth Heaven before him.
"This is so unexpected!"
"No one would have thought that Li Xuejin was able to surpass He Congming!"
"Yeah, before reaching the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Rain Pond, I guess nobody can guess the victors and the losers?"
After a period of time…..
He Congming finally reached the Fifth Heaven.
As news of the various disciples entering the Fourth Heaven began passing around, the spectators no longer considered if there was a possibility that Fang Zhengzhi would win Chi Guyan in this battle.
"This Fang Zhengzhi had been waiting at the Fourth Heaven for almost an hour already?"
"Around there, it looks like the Fourth Heaven is the destination of his life, I'm afraid he's unable to pass it!"
"Hahaha, but for the first three Heaven, he was really very quick. He had given me a shock, I almost thought he was able to win!"
"Who hadn't? I even let out a body of cold sweat."
Upon hearing the news of the various disciples entering the Fourth and Fifth Heaven, and thinking about Fang Zhengzhi who was still stuck at the Fourth Heaven, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples could not help but chuckle among themselves.
