Such arrogance would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Although he knew that the probability of it happening was not high, Wu Anyi could only hope that Lu Yuan would teach the rude visitor from the Upper Realm a lesson.

Not long after Fang Yu left, the Fox Clan’s heavenly pride, Wang Yu, suddenly said, “Since we have nothing to do anyway, why don’t we bet on whether Fang Yu can reach the top of the mountain?”

As Wang Yu spoke, a table had already appeared in his hands.

On the table, there was a piece of white paper with the contents of the bet written on it.

“Fang Yu successfully ascends the mountain payout: 1:1.”

“Fang Yu is unable to ascend the mountain payout: 1:5.”

Seeing that, the other heavenly prides were immediately interested and placed their bets.

“Fang Yu is now at tier 4 of the Nascent Soul Stage. Fie can at least be ranked in the top four among us.”

“I also bet that Fang Yu will succeed!”

Among the eight heavenly prides of the Fox Clan present, four of them quickly bet on Fang Yu’s success.

They already knew in advance that Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile had been beaten up by the patriarch behind Lu Yuan.

However, when they were on the phone with Xu Ziyu just now, they learned that the Qingyun Sect’s patriarch was playing games with Xu Zile and was obviously not on the mountain.

Fang Yu obviously knew about that as well. That was why he felt that he could go up the mountain directly and wanted to show off his strength.

The three people who had not placed their bets were Xu Ziyu, Shen Taotao, and Shen Hongxuan.

“Ziyu, you’re the only one here who knows the situation of Black Jade Peak the best. Tell me, do you think that kid Fang Yu can succeed?”

Hearing that, Xu Ziyu lowered her voice and said, “Taotao, believe me. You can bet on Fang Yu’s failure. It’s a sure win.”

“Why are you so sure?” Shen Taotao was stunned. “Isn’t the Qingyun Sect’s patriarch not in the inner sect? Other than that patriarch, who else can stop Fang Yu?”

Xu Ziyu smiled and said, “Believe me. It won’t go wrong.”

Shen Taotao ultimately chose to believe Xu Ziyu although she did not know why Xu Ziyu was so sure that Fang Yu could not go up the mountain.

Shen Hongxuan, the leader of the Fox Clan, did not participate in the betting game. He watched everything calmly.

In fact, Fang Yu’s actions this time, apart from his arrogant personality, were also the result of Shen Hongxuan adding fuel to the fire.

The reason why Shen Hongxuan asked Fang Yu to ascend the mountain was very simple. He wanted to see what was so special about Lu Yuan that he could become the Practitioner partner of a heavenly pride like Meng Ruyan.

If the other party did not display enough potential, then Shen Hongxuan would definitely think of a way to make Lu Yuan back out.

Fang Yu was Lu Yuan’s first test. It could also be simply understood as a show of strength.

Other than Shen Hongxuan, only Xu Ziyu did not have any confidence in Fang Yu.

After all, she had experienced what the arrays on Black Jade Mountain was like.

It could be said that at that time, she had definitely sensed one-tenth of the arrays activated in the mountain.

Perhaps it was because the “patriarch” was present that Lu Yuan did not activate all the arrays.

Moreover, Xu Ziyu had a feeling that Lu Yuan was definitely not as simple as he looked.

If it was an ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivator, they would definitely not be so calm when facing two injured Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Even if it was an injured cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage, it was not someone that a simple cultivator of the Core Formation Stage could fight against.

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan’s attitude towards her and Xu Zile was no different from that toward ordinary people.

That kind of mentality was definitely not something that could be displayed just by having a backer.

Although Xu Ziyu did not have any evidence, she had a feeling that if they really fought, Lu Yuan would display unordinary strength.

If the arrays in the mountain were also activated, Fang Yu would be suppressed and would only be able to display the strength of a tier 2 Nascent Soul Stage despite being a tier 4 Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

That kind of strength was ten to twenty percent stronger than when she and Xu Zile had joined forces.

However, that ten to twenty percent was definitely not enough for Fang Yu to climb the mountain steadily.

At the same time, after Fang Yu flew into Black Jade Peak, he quickly discovered that he was blocked by a fog.

Not only did it block his vision, but it could also cut off his senses.

When Fang Yu realized that his perception was suppressed to a radius of ten meters, he sensed that something was wrong.

To be able to suppress the perception of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, the fog was definitely not a simple fog.

Fang Yu was right. Ever since the incident with Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile, Lu Yuan had seriously considered which of his current methods could have a greater impact on a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

After thinking about it, Lu Yuan felt that instead of putting his energy on an offensive array that might not be able to cause effective damage to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he should focus on casting some Illusion Array.

It just so happened that Lu Yuan’s attainments in the divine soul were not low. The Illusion Array he set up could very well suppress the divine soul of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

As long as he could stall them, Lu Yuan would have enough time to think of a countermeasure.

Apart from the Illusory Array, Lu Yuan had also prepared many backup plans that could pose a threat to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Thirteen years had passed since Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile descended to the Lower Realm.

These 12 years might have been like a snap of a finger for others, but it was enough for Lu Yuan to do many things.

While Fang Yu was on his way up the mountain, Lu Yuan, who had been in secluded cultivation for eight years, sensed the arrival of outsiders.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes. In the next second, a huge white illusion appeared behind him.

Although the illusion was faintly discernible, it still gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Originally, Lu Yuan thought that he would need ten years to cultivate the white tiger sword cultivator Dharma Idol power.

However, the actual situation was much smoother than he had imagined.

The method of directly visualizing the paper man on a winged tiger had indeed helped Lu Yuan increase his cultivation speed by quite a bit.

Lu Yuan looked at Xu Ziyu at the foot of the mountain and Fang Yu, who was a little annoyed by the Illusion Array. He lowered his head and looked at the message sent by sect leader Mu Chen.

Soon, Lu Yuan roughly guessed why the situation in front of him had occurred.

It was just that there was a guy who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to show his might.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and felt that this was also a chance to display his strength.

Previously, Lu Yuan had thought that he would definitely go to the Upper Realm, but the key was how he would go.

The best solution was naturally to become a pharmacist, alchemist, or array master.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yuan finally decided which identity to use to enter the Upper Realm.

It was neither via the pill refinement that he was most proficient in, nor the weapon refinement that outsiders expected… It was arrays!

Lu Yuan felt that compared to the previous two professions, the greatest characteristic of an array master was that they could only maximize their strength by fighting in a place where they had set up an array.

If he entered the Upper Realm as an array master, then no matter which sect it was, there was a high chance that he would be asked to stay in the inner sect to help research or create some arrays that could help the sect.

That way, he did not have to think about going out on an expedition.

After all, there was a possibility that blacksmiths and alchemists might be called out by people to look for medicinal herbs or special blacksmithing materials.

But array masters definitely didn’t have that problem.

After all, the greatest characteristic of array masters was that they needed to spend a large amount of time studying array formations.

It was normal for them not to go out for hundreds of years.

That was undoubtedly very much in line with Lu Yuan’s preferences.

Thus, Lu Yuan felt that entering the Upper Realm with the identity of a genius in the field of arrays was undoubtedly the most suitable for him.

And how should he display his talent in array formations?

Naturally, it would be to defeat someone of a higher realm or to stump a Nascent Soul Stage Soul cultivator from the Upper Realm.

Thinking of that, Lu Yuan looked at Fang Yu in the mountains and became playful….
