When Jian Chengzhe saw how Gu Gengren took the ores, his previous depression was swept away.
His breathing was rapid, and his gaze was burning. Even the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he looked at Ling Yue with provocation.
Guan Yue narrowed her eyes, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. She sneered."Hmph, the lowly person gets what he wants!"
Zuo Fengyu was also in despair. Although he was a top-grade Spiritualist, he knew he could not reach Gu Gengren's level. Even if he tried his best, it was already his limit to take out 2 Volcanic Ores at once. On the other hand, this handsome and refined man in front of him took out 7 at once. 'Is there justice in this world? Is there any law in this world? Could being handsome really be his advantage?'
The despair in Deng Pan's heart was even greater than Zuo Fengyu's. He was only an Advanced Spiritualist. After seeing what happened, he felt as if his scalp was about to explode. He wondered, 'Could he be a God-favored one?'
As for the rogue cultivators and aristocratic family disciples at the side, they had solemn looks on their faces. Generally speaking, the faster one took out the ores, the stronger one's combat power. They thought, 'Could this young man challenge a top-grade Spiritualist and can leap ranks?'
Once this thought came to mind, even they were shocked.
It was not that there were no people who could cross ranks to challenge others, but there were simply too few of them. For example, the Daoist disciples from the 7 main peaks of the Seven Stars Sect possessed the power to cross ranks, but how many Daoist disciples could there be? There were more than 10, 000 disciples in the Seven Stars sect, but there were only 7 Daoist disciples. Now, a person who seemed to be able to contend with a Daoist disciple had appeared in front of them. How could they not be wary?
Even Ou Yangming was slightly startled. He had also taken peculiar stones from the magma. Of course, he knew it was not as simple as he had imagined.
Moreover, his current identity was a caster, so he could not use many of his tricks in front of others.
After pondering for a moment, he chuckled and exhaled the turbid air in his body. His mind was clear, and a domineering intent spread out in all directions. A golden light flashed in the young fellow's eyes, and he breathed in and out. He growled internally, "The Solitary Thought Skill—the Voices of Gods and Demons!"
Once the voice was heard, the spiritual QI in its path exploded. It was as if the spiritual Qi had been torn apart by a powerful force. It was formless, and its speed was fast as it directly blasted toward the magma below. The magma was pushed aside, leaving a half-a-meter-wide gap in the middle. The magma on both sides seemed to be blocked by a force of nothingness, and the white gap was spreading toward the depths at an incredibly fast speed.
Ou Yangming's eyes were as sharp as knives and lightning. He separated his fingers and burst forth with strength. It was like picking flowers and leaves for him to pass through the gap. He grabbed at the Volcanic Ores below. Without the magma blocking him, it was as easy as flipping his hand.
At this moment, the grabbing power he used was exceptionally fast. He dragged outward and directly dragged out the Volcanic Ores below the magma. In an instant, 5 Volcanic Ores flew out.
The gap then slowly disappeared,
After doing all this, only about 15 minutes had passed. This efficiency was much faster than the others, who were simply not on the same level. Furthermore, even the number of Volcanic Ores that Ou Yangming pulled out was only 2 less than that of Gu Gengren—there were 5 of them. Of course, the reason there were 2 fewer Volcanic Ores was also the young fellow's intention.
Nevertheless, the shock brought by this scene was a little more than Gu Gengren's.
After all, the time that Ou Yangming used was too short. It was only the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
If Gu Gengren taking out 7 Volcanic Ores was a legend, then everything that Ou Yangming did was a legend.
Needless to say, Ou Yangming's face was still pale after that, and he staggered. After all, the mental power consumption for the Solitary Thought Skill was too great.
After witnessing the scene, everyone looked at Ou Yangming as if he was a monster.
Ling Yue's eyes lit up, and he sighed, "Brother Yu, what a brilliant method. I'm very impressed."
Stars were about to appear in the eyes of Guan Yue, and she looked surprised. She had tried dozens of times before, but she could not find any trick, nor could she deal with the strange force that was an inch above the lava. Now, not only did Ou Yangming successfully take out a Volcanic Ore on the eleventh try, but he also shocked everyone by taking out 5 Volcanic Ores in one go. Additionally, the time he took was so short that it was unimaginable.
Jian Chengzhe gritted his teeth and only felt a burning pain on his face.
Nevertheless, he did not Hate Ou Yangming at all. He knew he could not afford to offend such a person. As such, he could only transfer the hatred that was engraved in his heart to Ling Yue...
Of course, at the mouth of the volcano, Zuo Fengyu and Deng Pan were the most disappointed and bitter. At this moment, the 2 of them felt like crying. They kept repeating to themselves, 'How... How did I meet these 2 lunatics? How can I live like this?'?
Gu Gengren had a faint smile on his face as if he was not worried at all. When he looked at Ou Yangming, the look in his eyes deepened.
After taking out these Volcanic Ores, Ou Yangming slowed down. After all, the Solitary Thought Skill consumed too much of his energy. After one time, he could only use ordinary methods to take the Volcanic Ores.
Gu Gengren's speed of taking out the Volcanic Ores became faster. In less than half a day, he had extracted more than 40 Volcanic Ores, and there was even a yellow one among them.
Suddenly, Gu Gengren smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness. f𝔯𝑒e𝓌ℯ𝐛𝑛oѵel - 🅽🅽novel
He sat cross-legged and placed the zither on his knees. The aura from his body slowly sank into his body, and his Qi was surging non-stop. Even the blood in his blood vessels was flowing at a faster speed. The young man's white clothes fluttered in the wind, and below him was fiery red flowing magma.
Gu Gengren's fingers danced on the strings of the zither, and his movements became faster.
The sound seemed to come from a heavenly palace, and it was pleasant to the ears. One note after another, they were like strange symbols that crashed into the magma. Instantly, the red magma seemed to be attracted, and it began to spin like a deep whirlpool.
13 green Volcanic Ores and 1 yellow Volcanic Ore seemed to be attracted, and they flew in front of him.
The white robe on his body fluttered even though there was no wind, suppressing everyone's light.
After finishing the song, he carefully put away the zither. It was not only his reliance on the path but also had an indescribably special meaning to him.
He slowly stood up and walked in front of Ou Yangming, explaining, "The method I used before is called the 1, 000 Strings Sound, so you have to be careful." If the black-robed elder who had been following him saw this, he would be so shocked because this was the first time Gu Gengren took the initiative to explain something to someone.
This proved that Ou Yangming held a heavy weight in Gu Gengren's heart. After he broke through, even if top-grade Spiritualists would not be taken seriously by him. On the contrary, he took the initiative to explain to Ou Yangming the technique he used.
"Okay." Ou Yangming nodded with a faint smile on his face.
Gu Gengren did not say much. He walked to a high place and looked into the distance. He had a very strong feeling that he and Ou Yangming would have a fight sooner or later.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sunlight shone down.
Eventually, the gap between Gu Gengren and the 3 people grew bigger. His eyes flashed, and all the spiritual power in his dantian burst out. The 1, 000 Strings Sound burst out again more intensely.
At the same time, Ou Yangming looked at the surging magma, and a thought flashed through his mind. 'The Heavenly Phoenix Fire is the master of all fires. I wonder if I can use its power in the magma to draw Volcanic Ores... ' He did not know if this strange blocking force would become lesser.
Ou Yangming was a person with a practical spirit. He would do it as he said.
His aura sank. With a thought, he bent his finger and used his spiritual power to wrap the Heavenly Phoenix Flame and probe into the magma.
As soon as it touched the surface of the magma, the Heavenly Phoenix Flame spread out. That barrier was like an emperor who had seen the flames as it fled in all directions. Without any obstruction, Ou Yangming sent this force into the magma. Instantly, a queer world made of magma appeared in his mind.
'Indeed!' Ou Yangming was secretly delighted.
The Heavenly Phoenix Fire was even more valiant than he had expected, and it actually dispelled all the blocking force.
He controlled the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and kept probing into the depths of the volcano.
Numerous green Volcanic Ores appeared in his perception, and there were even a few yellow Volcanic Ores that emitted faint fluorescent light.
Despite that, a sudden change occurred at this time. The violent energy in the magma seemed to be pulled by something as it gathered toward the Heavenly Phoenix Fire's power. It continued to revolve.
"It's really strange!" Ou Yangming chuckled, but he did not care about it. He continued to drive the energy deep into the depths.
Ou Yangming closed his eyes as if he entered a world of flames. Every corner of the world was warm.
However, as the wisp of Heavenly Phoenix Fire sank into the volcano, the whirlpool quickly spread. Even the magma above was stirred up. It was like a raging wave beating against the cliff. Each wave was higher than the previous one, and each wave was stronger than the previous one.
Under the setting sun, the fiery red magma rose into the sky. It was incomparably magical.
"What's going on?" A horse-faced man softly exclaimed. His eyes revealed a look of deep thought.
"It doesn't matter. It was probably stirred by the 1, 000 Strings Sound. Besides, the magma is about 100 meters from the mouth of the volcano. It's a very safe distance, " a middle-aged man wearing a leather hat said in a low voice. His face was full of confidence.
As his voice echoed, the crowd quieted down once again.
Below the magma, the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Flame sank deeper.
All of a sudden, a majestic and indescribable power revolved around the Heavenly Phoenix fire. After a short while, the magma in the mouth of the volcano turned into a deep whirlpool. The edges of the whirlpool protruded outward, and the center collapsed inward. The speed of the rotation was getting faster.
"Oh no!" Ou Yangming's head thudded. He realized that things had already exceeded his expectations. The power that revolved around the Heavenly Phoenix fire was too strong, as well as the pressure. The young fellow could not control it at all. Besides, even if he dispersed the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Flame, it still would not work.
"Boom..."
With a boom, the magma seemed to be squeezed by a pair of invisible hands.
A stream of magma shot up into the sky. It was about 333 meters high, and even the spiritual Qi seemed to be burning. Under the setting sun, this stream of magma burst out with the most brilliant light.
