Chapter 157: Zi Yan Breaks Through: Whoever Wants to Spar with Brother Gu Fei, Get Past Me First!

However, speaking of this, Gu Fei was only at the Dou Zun cultivation level, so Gu Qingyang did not have much confidence in his heart when facing the Half-Saint powerhouse, Lei Dong.

"Regardless of whether he can win or not, how would we know without trying?"

Gu Yao made the final decision directly, and after speaking, he stood up, preparing to go find Gu Fei.

Ever since that Commander Great Competition, Gu Yao had admired Gu Fei greatly, regarding Gu Fei as the goal he would pursue for the rest of his life.

In his heart, Gu Fei was the undisputed number one among the younger generation.

"In any case, let's go try first!"

Gu Qingyang followed closely behind Gu Yao, speeding toward the mountain peak where Gu Fei was located.

……

The mountain peak where Gu Fei was located.

Zi Yan's absorption of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit had already entered its final stages and no longer required Gu Fei's help; Gu Fei had gained a day of leisure, allowing him to slightly replenish the energy he had expended over the previous month.

"When Zi Yan emerges from seclusion this time, she should look completely different."

Gu Fei looked at Zi Yan, who was still absorbing energy, and recalled the mature young girl he had seen briefly in the Pill Realm, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

After fully absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, Zi Yan would grow up physically.

"Someone is here!"

Gu Fei cast his gaze outward; he sensed several figures rapidly sweeping toward this place, and immediately, he flashed and appeared above the mountain peak.

"It's the two of them?"

After seeing the identities of the arrivals clearly, a hint of doubt appeared in Gu Fei's eyes.

"Why have you come here in such a hurry?"

Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, and Gu Zhen looked at each other upon hearing this, all revealing helpless smiles.

"It is shameful to say, but a delegation from the Lei Clan has come to visit the Ancient Clan, and their younger generation has challenged the youth of our clan, but..."

"One by one, we are all no match for a person named Lei Dong; his strength has now reached the Half-Saint level."

"Half-Saint..."

Gu Fei's eyes flickered.

The strength of a Half-Saint was absolutely top-tier among the current younger generation of the Ancient Clan; it was normal that they were no match when a Half-Saint made a move.

"So you came here wanting me to step in?" Gu Fei asked directly.

"That's right, we thought it over and over, and you are the only one who can save face for the Ancient Clan."

"However, I have no interest in competing for superiority."

Gu Fei shook his head and politely declined; he was not the type of person who loved to show off.

If there was no necessity, he would not take the initiative to challenge anyone.

Moreover, he was not necessarily certain he could win against Lei Dong.

The gap between a Half-Saint and a Dou Zun was like a chasm; although Gu Fei possessed impressive ability to fight above his level, Lei Dong was also a prodigy, and so-called fighting above one's level was only aimed at ordinary powerhouses.

Furthermore, during this period, he had been continuously refining the Dragon Phoenix Crystal for Zi Yan, leaving him quite exhausted; with his condition being poor, his chances of winning were even smaller.

Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao stood on the spot with ugly expressions; the worry that Gu Fei would be no match for Lei Dong was clearly superfluous, because Gu Fei had no intention of fighting at all.

"Gu Fei, this concerns the face of our Ancient Clan's younger generation; no matter what, you should try once." Gu Qingyang wanted to try to persuade him further.

"Brother Qingyang, I am going to disappoint you; I really have no heart for this."

Seeing Gu Fei so resolute, not even giving a chance, Gu Zhen looked displeased.

"I have long heard that Gu Fei of the Ancient Clan is a rare prodigy; I wonder if there is a chance to spar today!"

This voice was very familiar to Gu Qingyang and the others, but it was unfamiliar to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei looked toward the sky, and a group of people wearing silver robes appeared.

The leader looked down at Gu Fei without speaking, while countless mouths beside him chattered incessantly.

"Not daring to accept the challenge, could it be that he is afraid?"

"The Ancient Clan's number one prodigy is nothing more than this!"

"Hahahaha, a mere Dou Zun, he has absolutely no chance of winning against Brother Lei Dong; he is sensible not to accept the challenge, after all, why bring humiliation upon himself?"

"According to you, I would call him a wise man, for those who know the times are wise men!"

The Lei Clan disciples kept mocking Gu Fei, and some even insulted him directly, hoping to provoke him. As long as Gu Fei chose to accept the challenge, then Lei Dong's goal would be achieved.

With the arrival of the Lei Clan disciples, the entire mountain peak immediately became lively.

Ancient Clan disciples kept coming to watch, and even Xun Er was looking on from afar.

They all wanted to see how Gu Fei would face this predicament; after all, the gap in cultivation was there. If he accepted the challenge, Gu Fei did not have much chance of winning, but if he did not, Gu Fei would have lost quite a bit of face this time.

This was Lei Dong's open scheme.

Listening to those people provoking Gu Fei, Xiao Yixian and Cai'er were both frowning.

They were both worried for Gu Fei; after all, Gu Fei had been truly too tired over the past month, and his current state was definitely not good.

They wanted to help Gu Fei, but their strength was low, so how could they help him? "Brother Gu Fei... you still shouldn't agree today, wait until your spirit has recovered before talking!"

Xiao Yixian and Cai'er stepped forward together and held Gu Fei's hands, hoping he would not agree.

Both women were stunning beauties who amazed the world; after they appeared, they immediately attracted some jealous gazes. The people of the Lei Clan did not expect that Gu Fei could actually have such good fortune.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing..."

On Gu Fei's side, he smiled at the two women, and then his gaze landed on Lei Dong.

Clearly, Lei Dong was the mastermind behind this incident.

"A Half-Saint, is it..."

"A Half-Saint is still not a true Saint..."

Gu Fei looked straight at Lei Dong, not feeling the slightest fear because of Lei Dong's strength.

This composure made Lei Dong feel very shocked, and he could not help but think more highly of Gu Fei in his heart.

"Gu Fei, do you dare to fight me!"

Gu Fei's neither humble nor arrogant attitude ignited the fighting spirit within Lei Dong, so he no longer suppressed himself and directly declared war on Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was not afraid; since they had already fought their way to his doorstep, how could there be any reason not to fight? Just as he was preparing to step forward to meet the challenge, a cold and melodious voice suddenly rang out.

"If you want to challenge Big Brother Gu Fei, get past me first!"

As the voice fell, a purple-gold light suddenly soared into the sky from the Bamboo Building.

Immediately after, a slender and graceful figure slowly walked out, stepping on the purple-gold light, and a terrifying pressure approached step by step with her footsteps.

The woman who appeared was dressed in a purple-gold dress, upon which a Dragon-Phoenix danced as if it were a living creature, exuding an unmistakable aura of nobility; her body was slender, and a head of long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, spreading past her slender waist and hanging down to her shapely hips.

The woman's appearance was extremely beautiful, and her originally purple eyes had now transformed into a purple-gold color, mysterious and enchanting.

Under the gaze of this pair of purple-gold eyes, it was as if even heaven and earth yielded to her; the current Ziyan was no longer the little girl she had been back then.

Instead, she had completely transformed into a mature girl of peerless beauty.

Gazes were first dazed by Ziyan's noble aura, and then they suddenly focused on her back.

There, a pair of purple-gold wings, a zhang long, were gently flapping.

And as her wings vibrated, the faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard, shaking one's soul.

"This is... Zi Yan?"

Cai'er felt the familiar aura on the woman and was somewhat dazed.

Xiao Yixian learned that she was actually Zi Yan and looked at Ziyan in shock; this woman indeed possessed much of Zi Yan's essence.

Except for the maturity.

"So fast? I thought I would have to wait a few more days..."

Although Gu Fei had some expectations for Ziyan's changes, he still could not help but be stunned after seeing such a huge contrast again.

"Does it look good?" Ziyan looked at Gu Fei and cast a charming glance at him.

This girl looked grown up on the outside, but on the inside, she was still that same little girl.

In the sky, Lei Dong looked at Ziyan, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and his expression was very ugly.

Because he could feel that Ziyan's strength was several times greater than his own; this aura was almost the same as the two Elders who came from the Lei Clan.

"Could it be that she is a Saint, and has reached at least the three-star level?"

The pressure in Lei Dong's heart increased sharply, and just at this moment, Ziyan's gaze swept toward him.

"Just now, who said they wanted to challenge Big Brother Gu Fei? He is half a master to me; those who want to challenge my master, trade a few blows with me first!"
