Chapter 473: Chapter 470: Tongue Blooms into Lotus – Fight if You Disagree
“It’s you!”
Li Miao Zhen clenched the White Tiger Saber in her hand with some excitement. “Come on out, let me see how the True Disciple of the Scripture Interpretation Division compares to Tang Sanyuan and determine who is stronger and who is weaker!”
“Eh?”
Fang Chengqian looked at Li Miao Zhen’s valiant figure, feeling somewhat eager to try.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he ultimately still shook his head. “I won’t compete with you!”
“Why?”
Li Miao Zhen’s eyes widened. “Are you afraid?”
“That’s not it.”
Fang Chengqian adopted the demeanor of a humble gentleman. “You just had a fight with Brother Tang, and your True Yuan has been significantly depleted. I don’t want to take advantage of you.
However, since you want to see my capabilities, and I myself am quite curious about the techniques of the Beast Taming Sect, how about I compete with him instead? That way, you can also witness what I’m capable of!”
Saying this, Fang Chengqian pointed to Qin Feng, who had just arrived outside the arena.
“…”
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised. How had he suddenly been dragged into this?
He did not know what Fang Chengqian was thinking.
The reason Fang Chengqian did not want to compete with Li Miao Zhen was mainly because he felt it would be somewhat awkward.
For if he won, he feared Li Miao Zhen’s proud nature would suffer.
And if he lost to Li Miao Zhen, it wouldn’t look good for him or the Spring and Autumn Academy. The idea that the Chief Disciple of one of the five Dominator Level forces could lose to a True Disciple of a Major Sect from the Southern Domain—if that got out, it would be quite an unflattering story.
So, he simply avoided Li Miao Zhen and set his sights on Qin Feng.
He didn’t choose Lianxing because she had already advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm.
Being of similar foundational levels, an advancement would more than double her power. Unless he made a breakthrough right now, he was not Lianxing’s match. So, he set his target on Qin Feng instead.
As for the other True Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, apart from Gu Wumou, who was easily overlooked and disregarded, the rest might not even be stronger than Xue Baoshu. It would be uninteresting for him to fight them, so the newly arrived Qin Feng became his chosen target.
Li Miao Zhen glanced at Qin Feng and then back at Fang Chengqian, and suddenly smiled oddly. “Alright, since you wish to compete with Junior Brother Qin, then so be it!”
With that, she sheathed her saber and flew next to Lianxing, then watched the center of the arena with great interest.
Others might not know about Qin Feng’s Dao cultivation, but she knew it quite well. If Fang Chengqian thought he could easily trump Qin Feng, then he had miscalculated and chosen the wrong opponent!

Among the True Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, whether it was her or Lianxing, who had already ascended to the Purple Mansion Realm, or even Gu Wumou, who had accumulated for many years without ascending, none had accumulated as profound energy as Qin Feng.
At best, the few of them were only stronger than Qin Feng in their respective domains of expertise. In all other aspects, Qin Feng was the superior one.
Even though Li Miao Zhen had obtained so much vitality from the Blood Lotus and later refined much of the Geng Metal Divine Iron, accumulating nearly to the limit of the Golden Qi, she could not match Qin Feng, whose True Yuan was fortified by numerous Powers of Laws.
Of course, the accumulation of True Yuan and the quantity of Laws didn’t necessarily ensure victory. Just like herself, Li Miao Zhen, who cultivated mainly the Geng Metal Dao, had the advantage of purity and depth. Therefore, even with Qin Feng relying on multiple Laws, there was no guarantee he could defeat her. The outcome could only be determined by the actual fight.
“Brother Qin, please!”
Fang Chengqian took several steps into the center of the arena and extended his hand to invite Qin Feng to battle.
Seeing this, Qin Feng felt resigned but showed no fear. Instead, he was eager to take this opportunity to see for himself what abilities the True Disciples from the five Dominator Level forces truly possessed!
He smiled slightly, his teeth as white as jade shone with a clear luster in the sunlight, making him look so harmless to humans and animals. “If Brother Fang is so keen to experience the techniques of the Beast Taming Sect, then I shall grant your wish!”
As he spoke, he too walked to the center, but unlike Fang Chengqian, he crossed the distance from the edge of the arena to ten paces in front of Fang Chengqian in just one step!
“Well done with the ‘Shrinking Ground to Inch’!”
Fang Chengqian nodded in approval. “Seeing Brother Qin execute this Divine Skill, it’s obvious you have deeply mastered its essence.”
Qin Feng only smiled and did not respond.
He certainly wouldn’t reveal to his opponent that aside from the Ruyi Golden Light, his Shrinking Ground to Inch was the Divine Skill he progressed with the quickest, being just one step away from mastering it to the level of Great Divine Power.
“Brother Qin, please!”
Fang Chengqian greeted with a cupped fist salute, a gentle bow.
His handsome features and the snow-white Confucian Robe he wore, coupled with his every action imbued with the gentle and refined demeanor of a gentleman, elegant and modest, could win over people’s hearts.
Unfortunately for him, Qin Feng was not a woman and not swayed by such affectations.
“Brother Fang, please!”
Qin Feng also raised his hand in return.
“Haha, Brother Qin is too kind.”
Fang Chengqian reached out for a scroll, flipping through the pages, and began to read aloud. “The Sage says, ‘It is a pleasure to greet friends from afar.'”
At first, Qin Feng thought this man was merely showing off his literary knowledge, but as soon as the words were spoken, his spirit sensed a special power attacking him.
This power was extremely strange, causing him to lower his guard due to Fang Chengqian’s words, dissolving his will to fight as if he truly were a friend who had come from afar. He even felt the sincerity in Fang Chengqian’s heart, and an emotion not wanting to fight him arose within him.
“Such impressive Saint Scripture, such a unique Principle Divine Power!”
Qin Feng was startled in his heart, completely shedding all arrogance, and his regard for Fang Chengqian rose yet another level.
He truly hadn’t expected that the Saint Scripture could become a Law, a Dao. Fang Chengqian merely had to recite the Saint Scripture with his own Power of Laws for him to feel in his heart that what was said made sense.
Furthermore, Fang Chengqian certainly possessed a Divine Skill for persuasive speech; otherwise, it would have been impossible for a mere verse of Saint Scripture to evoke such a powerful resonance in him!
He guessed correctly; Fang Chengqian had indeed comprehended the Divine Skill of ‘Words Blossoming Like Lotus Flowers.’ Without the Saint Scripture, he could still captivate hearts and minds with endless persuasive words, not to mention the enhanced power of this Divine Skill combined with the Saint Scripture.
Fang Chengqian continued without stopping. “The Sage says, ‘The noble man is open and unrestrained, while the petty man is full of distress!'”
Then, a forthright intent rose within him, yet Qin Feng felt a worry rise from the depths of his heart, sensing something unfavorable about engaging Fang Chengqian in combat.
“Sages have said, ‘Those with the Way have more help; those without, less.'”
Upon these words, Qin Feng felt the power of laws in his body begin to dissipate.
Alarmed, he knew he couldn’t let Fang Chengqian continue reciting. Otherwise, even if his heart could still muster the will to fight, his cultivation would be compromised, leaving him unable to exert even half of his ability.
“Sages have said…”
“Sages have said if you want to fight, then fight, stop with all the nonsense!”
Qin Feng suddenly shouted, interrupting Fang Chengqian’s continued recitation of the scriptures.
An ordinary shout would hardly interrupt Fang Chengqian’s eloquent speech.
But in his shout, not only did Qin Feng use the Soul Shattering Roar spell, he also exerted his Dragon Power to intimidate the other, a shout that not only shook Fang Chengqian’s divine soul but also made him feel as though he faced a colossal beast, instantly disrupting his ability to continue chanting the saint’s scriptures.
“Take my fist!”
Without waiting for Fang Chengqian to react, Qin Feng threw a punch, and a flashing golden fist shadow flew straight towards Fang Chengqian.
Quickly suppressing the discomfort in his divine soul, Fang Chengqian lightly shouted, “Disperse!”
Then, an ancient character for “disperse” rose from his book of scriptures, with which he planned to scatter Qin Feng’s fist shadow.
At first, the plan worked as anticipated—the fist shadow dispersed upon encountering the ancient character.
However, he did not realize that the fist shadow was formed by Qin Feng’s Ruyi Golden Light, which could change and disperse at will. Now, instead of vanishing, the diffused shadow split into hundreds of golden needles, shooting towards his body like countless golden needles.
“Control!”
Fang Chengqian, startled, quickly shouted again.
Another ancient character emerged from the scriptures, transforming into Defensive Divine Power, blocking those hundreds of golden needles.
“Brother Qin has great divine powers!”
Fang Chengqian praised, then smiled and said, “The sages have said, ‘Heavenly timing is less vital than Earthly advantage, and Earthly advantage is less vital than harmony among people.’ Brother Qin, competing with me, a Confucian scholar, here in the Central Region, has no advantage!”
“This cunning guy!”
Qin Feng cursed inwardly.
This man managed to slip the saint’s scriptures into his speech, confusing Qin Feng’s spirit—an attack that was formless and elusive, truly difficult to defend against.
He felt a pang of envy, alas, as he did not practice Confucianism, he could not master such divine powers.
Qin Feng didn’t want to hear this man drone on any longer, and shouted, “Sages have said, ‘The trouble with people lies in their delight to lord over others.’ Brother Fang, since you’ve chosen to battle me, why persist in your endless prattle? If we’re to fight, then let’s fight; if we’re to compete, let’s compete. Cease using words to bewilder my spirit!”
“Hehe, so Brother Qin has also read the teachings of the sages. Very good, very good!”
Fang Chengqian laughed heartily: “The sages left us their teachings to enlighten the people and spread civility. How dare we not honor the sages’ words?
Besides, the sages once said, ‘The Master led people gently and skillfully, enriched me with culture, and restrained me with rites…'”
Qin Feng, unable to bear it any longer, roared once again, interrupting Fang Chengqian’s long-winded discourse. His fingers jabbing continually, a series of sharp golden rays emerged, striking toward Fang Chengqian.
Using Ruyi Golden Light on his Golden Hole Finger, he attempted to merge the two divine powers, and though still far from successful, the combined strength was far stronger than that of the simple Golden Hole Finger.
Seeing Qin Feng’s attack so fierce, Fang Chengqian worked his scripture book rapidly, and one after another, ancient characters appeared, forming layers of Defensive Magic in front of him.
But before he could counterattack, Qin Feng suddenly stamped his foot hard on the ground.
With a thunderous boom, the ground trembled, and a massive force from below surged up toward Fang Chengqian, blasting him off the ground and into the air.
Qin Feng’s hands moved continuously, unleashing various Attack Magic spells. In addition to Ruyi Golden Light and Golden Hole Finger, he also used other seldom-practiced Magic Divine Powers consecutively—sometimes using Wood Element Divine Power to grow giant trees, sometimes summoning Earth Element Divine Power for an array of giant stone spikes and descending meteors, or using Water Element Divine Power to create towering waves that rolled forward, attempting to wash away and drown Fang Chengqian.
Initially overwhelmed by Qin Feng’s complex array of magical divine powers, Fang Chengqian hustled to respond but eventually, with his deep Dao Cultivation, he wasn’t thrown into disarray. Reacting quickly, he too invoked ancient characters to transform into various divine powers, matching Qin Feng’s dizzying assault.
“Good, now this is how to battle!”
Qin Feng laughed heartily, since he wasn’t comfortable with Fang Chengqian’s saint scripture and verbal divine powers, he would have to disrupt his rhythm and draw him into Qin Feng’s own pace.
Still, Fang Chengqian was the Chief Disciple of the Spring and Autumn Academy’s Scripture Interpretation Division—a top-level genius in the entire Cultivation World. Although Qin Feng was momentarily dragging Fang Chengqian into his battle rhythm, it was impossible to silence him.
Soon, once he steadied his stance and adapted to Qin Feng’s rapid assault, Fang Chengqian began reciting saint scripture again, much to Qin Feng’s frustration.
“The sages have said, ‘I am skilled in nurturing my vast energy…'”
His body surged with Vast Energy, as if saint himself descended.
“The sages have said, ‘Without rules and standards, nothing would be accomplished…'”
Various constraints loomed, attempting to bind Qin Feng.
“The sages have said, ‘If the worker wishes to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools!'”
Ancient characters transformed into divine weapons, assaulting Qin Feng.
“Roar…”
The never-ending saint scriptures infuriated Qin Feng even more, agitated by Fang Chengqian’s eloquent speech, he could no longer suppress his rage and issued a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.
Using Soul Shattering Roar to its limit, uncaring of any effect on the watching cultivators, he lunged forward after his roar, aiming a punch directly at Fang Chengqian’s body.
His entire form was enveloped in a barely visible layer of Dark Gold Armor, and each swing caused ripples in the void, revealing such immense Physical Body Power that it turned the color of the watching cultivators.
“Body Cultivation?”
“A Purple Mansion Realm Body Cultivator?”
“Such formidable physical strength!”
The audience was shocked, unaware that Qin Feng’s physical power had already reached the Purple Mansion Realm!
