The bustling Taihe Mountain was instantly reduced to a still silence, with only the sound of the wind remained.

All eyes inevitably turned to the young man who was left standing, his hands clasped behind him and his chin held high.

At that moment, the mountains were tranquil, as if he was the only one remaining under the heaven and earth.

Many recognized the young man standing before them and it was precisely because of their recognition that they felt such shock.

The practice of martial arts involved external strengthening of muscle, bone and skin, and internal refining of organs, blood and marrow, followed by a transformation of the body’s constitution.

Many ordinary martial artists believed that those who had reached the first-grade realm are already at the pinnacle of martial arts practice.

But only true powerhouses knew that the gap between first-grade martial artists could sometimes be even greater than the gap from ninth-grade to first-grade.

Everyone who participated in the palace meeting knew that the youth who had always followed Danyang Zi was a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect leader Danyang Zi, a young man of only around thirty years, not some ancient demon who had cultivated for many years but maintained youth.

Indeed, stepping into the first-grade realm at thirty years old was an extraordinary talent, making people sigh with admiration that he was deserving of being a high student of the Shenxiao Sect. Even if the Shenxiao Sect was fading, it still retained Qi Luck and genearted talent.

But no one thought he was a match for the Vajra Monk.

Did you not see that the Jie Fa monk was easily defeated by him just now?

One should know that the Jie Fa monk had been cultivating for decades and was ranked highly among the experts in the martial arts world.

Zhang Zhizhan, the Master of Heaven, also frowned slightly, looking at Danyang Zi, why do you let your junior fellow apprentice risk himself?

That’s right, even Zhang Zhizhan believed that Pei Xuanjing was no match for his opponent, and going out would just mean certain death.

Danyang Zi smiled bitterly, he too did not want Pei Xuanjing to step forward. He would rather die here than see his junior fellow disciple in danger. After all, Pei Xuanjing was the hope for the continuation of the Shenxiao Sect’s legacy.

But to his surprise, Pei Xuanjing stood up and voiced his challenge before he realized what was happening, and it was too late for him to stop it.

“Senior brother, don’t worry. If I can’t win, I’ll admit defeat.” Pei Xuanjing reassured Danyang Zi.

Danyang Zi was speechless, you are not even confident, why did you step forward?

Did you not see that all those old dwellers didn’t dare to stick their heads out, why are you in such a rush as a young man?

However, he could not say much at this moment, since it concerned the Shenxiao Sect’s reputation. They can’t just challenge and then back down, that would be too disgraceful.

Suppressed by his anxiety, he cautioned Pei Xuanjing, “Once you are not sure, you must immediately admit defeat. If your opponent doesn’t stop at that, I will step in.”

He had already made up his mind. If his disciple admits defeat and the opponent continues to strike, they could abandon their dignity and fight side by side.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, striding forward several measures with a calm voice, “I would like to challenge you to a duel!”

“Who’s the challenger?” The Vajra Monk asked in a cold voice.

“Shenxiao Sect, Danling Zi!” Pei Xuanjing answered.

At that moment, the name of Shenxiao Sect’s Danling Zi resounded in everyone’s ears at the scene.

No matter the outcome, just by the courage Pei Xuanjing showed by standing out, many felt a sense of inferiority.

Vajra Monk shook his head: “I have never heard of such a person named ‘Danling Zi’ in the Central Plains Martial Arts.”

Pei Xuanjing smiled and responded, “When Master Sanfeng first left the Zen Sect, no one in the martial arts world had heard of Master Sanfeng.”

Hiss!

Many people gasped upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s remark.

What a presumptuous youngster!

Zhang Zhizhan, the Master of Heaven, smirked at the sight.

Having been suppressed by Master Sanfeng all his life, he naturally found it annoying. But it was interesting to see a brash youth challenge Master Sanfeng.

The head of the Chunyang Sect, who had been watching the whole event with cold eyes, also showed a trace of interest, seeming lost in thought.

At that moment, many people looked at Pei Xuanjing differently.

You must Imow that Master Sanfeng’s rise was legendary, dominating an era as an unrivaled martial artist. He was hailed as the most extraordinary martial arts talent since the Tang Dynasty.

Even though many young people consider him as a target surpass, most of them buried this deep down in their hearts, not daring to reveal it, fearing ridicule.

Pei Xuanjing was the first to openly voice such a statement.

“I didn’t know my young brother had such grand ambitions!” Danyang Zi murmured to himself.

He was old now, and as only one of Master Sanfeng’s peers, he knew how powerful Sanfeng was. It was so that his peers hardly thought of comparing themselves with him.

The moment Pei Xuanjing stated this ambition, he was reassured and relieved.

Even the Court Sorcerer of the Great Yuan, Master Basi, turned his glance towards Pei Xuanjing upon hearing his words.

Being one of the few most powerful martial artists in the world, Master Basi not only possessed remarkable strength but also discerning insight.

When his gaze fell on Pei Xuanjing, he sensed a hint of danger, even though the feeling was fleeting and elusive, he still managed to catch it.

“Hahaha.” Vajra Monk began to laugh uproariously as if he had heard a ridiculous joke.

He never imagined encountering such an arrogant youngster who dared to compare himself with the Master Sanfeng of old.

Even the Vajra Monk himself would never dare to claim that he could rival Sanfeng at the same age.

As for the Vajra Monk’s mockery, Pei Xuanjing didn’t care and remained aloof and calm.

Sanfeng was indeed a legend, dominating an era as an invincible martial artist. Since the Tang Dynasty, he was regarded as the martial arts prodigy..
