However, Lei Zheng's attention remained focused on Wei Changxuan.
He would occasionally glance at Wei Changxuan out of the corner of his eye, trying to find a flaw in his behavior.
Chapter 155 Wei Changxuan defeats Lei Zheng instantly!
At this moment, at the scene.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone's faces flushed, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
Gongsun Xiangyang said, "Since everyone is so happy, why don't we have a little sparring match?"
"Well then, Lord Lei, do you dare accept my challenge?"
Upon hearing this, the hall immediately fell silent.
All eyes were on Lei Zheng and Gongsun Xiangyang.
"597"
Lei Zheng sneered, put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked to the center of the hall.
His movements were clean and efficient, exuding the heroic spirit of someone who had been through many battles.
"Perfect timing, I'd also like to see your true strength."
As he spoke, he drew his golden broadsword, its blade gleaming coldly in the lamplight.
The blade was incredibly sharp, as if it could cut through any obstacle in the world.
Wei Changxuan slowly stood up, his eyes still calm and unwavering, as if nothing in front of him could stir any emotion within him.
"In that case, let me, this young master, test the waters."
He did not immediately draw his sword.
Instead, he smiled slightly, his tone indifferent, as if this sparring match was just an easy game for him.
The duel between the two attracted everyone's attention, and the entire hall seemed to be shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
The air seemed to freeze; everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the competition to begin.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Changxuan moved swiftly, appearing in front of Lei Zheng with lightning speed.
His speed was so fast that people could hardly see his movements; they could only see a blur.
This palm strike, seemingly ordinary, actually contains a vast amount of energy from heaven and earth!
Lei Zheng reacted quickly, swinging his sword to meet the attack. His swordsmanship was skillful, each strike containing immense power.
However, the next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes.
A powerful force rushed towards him, and before he could react, he lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in a chair, surrounded by a crowd of people talking amongst themselves.
He struggled to his feet, looking at Wei Changxuan not far away, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
"How could you..." His voice trembled slightly, clearly still reeling from the defeat.
"Lord Lei, you flatter me," Wei Changxuan said with a smile, his tone still calm.
His smile contained no hint of mockery or disdain, only sincerity and humility.
"You are indeed a rare master, but there will always be powers in this world that you have never touched."
Wei Changxuan stepped forward, looked at Lei Zheng, his face showing no trace of victor's pride, only sincere eyes.
"Lord Lei, the path of martial arts is long and endless. May you make even greater progress in the days to come."
Lei's expression also became extremely respectful.
He knew that at this moment, he had been completely defeated by his opponent.
This brief exchange made him realize his shortcomings and filled him with admiration for Wei Changxuan.
"Young Master Wei, I have benefited greatly from today's training. Thank you for your mercy!"
After saying this, Lei Zheng was still deeply shocked.
He secretly resolved to work harder on his future martial arts journey and pursue a higher level of mastery.
Chapter 156 The Shock of the Crowd, News of the Dragon Qi!
Wei Changxuan continued, "Lord Lei, the path of martial arts is long and endless. May you make even greater progress in the future."
He stepped forward slowly, his gaze gentle yet firm, quietly watching Lei Zheng.
He still wore his signature calm smile, as if all the troubles were none of his concern.
At that moment, sunlight pierced through the gaps in the clouds, gently illuminating his handsome face and making the surrounding air seem a little warmer.
Lei Zheng sensed the calm and extraordinary aura emanating from this young genius, and couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Wei Changxuan.
He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, and said in a voice full of sincerity and humility:
"Young Master Wei, I have had the pleasure of fighting today and have benefited immensely. Thank you for showing mercy!"
Each word he uttered was as soft as a warm breeze.
The barriers between them were blown away, leaving only pure and deep affection.
Wei Changxuan nodded slightly, his tone as calm and comfortable as a gentle breeze:
"Lord Lei, you're too kind. In fact, on the path of pursuing a higher realm, we are all just each other's best travel companions."
Your abilities have also surprised me greatly; you are truly a force to be reckoned with.
As he finished speaking, his bright eyes shone with approval, shining like stars.
Hearing these words, Lei Zheng was even more shocked and admired the seemingly young but unfathomably powerful person in front of him even more.
After a moment of silence, he finally mustered the courage to ask:
"Young Master Wei, since you've been so willing to give me so much guidance, could you please tell me one more thing?"
His words revealed a hint of eager anticipation.
Seeing the other party's sincere request for advice, Wei Changxuan's lips curled up slightly:
"Please speak frankly, Lord Lei, if there is anything you wish to discuss."
"Actually, I recently learned through some channels that in the counties and prefectures of Yongzhou, large and small..."
Hidden within are some extraordinary secret forces, the most remarkable of which is the information about dragon energy.
Legend has it that whoever possesses it will receive an incredible boost in power.
I wonder if Young Master Wei has heard of this matter?
As Lei Zheng spoke, he kept a close eye on Wei Changxuan's expression, afraid of missing any detail.
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Wei Changxuan's eyes.
He was clearly drawn to the topic. He nodded, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
"You're right, the existence of dragon energy is indeed not unfounded."
It is one of the rarest forms of natural energy in the universe, not only extremely rare,
Moreover, it contains immense power; if a martial artist could absorb and refine it, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance their martial arts cultivation.
Gongsun Xiangyang, who had been listening attentively to the two discussing chapter 597, couldn't help but interject:
"So, Young Master Wei and Lord Lei mean... that the three of us should join forces to find these extremely precious dragon energies?"
Wei Changxuan gave her an approving look and replied with an unusually serious expression:
"That's right, it's almost impossible for one person to complete such a huge task alone."
However, if they could gather the support of the powerful Lei family and the Gongsun family...
A thorough investigation and search are underway throughout Yongzhou, and we believe a breakthrough will be achieved soon.
After he finished speaking, everyone present showed a look of shock...
Chapter 157 Dragon Aura! The Giant Python Transforms into a Flood Dragon!
The night was as dark as ink, and all was silent. In the hall, the dim candlelight flickered, stretching the surrounding shadows to make them appear even more eerie.
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the candlelight to flicker violently, and a mysterious figure slowly stepped into the hall.
He seemed to be enveloped in the aura of darkness, each step he took was completely silent.
Yet, in this tranquil atmosphere, a chill inexplicably ran down one's spine.
"Young Master Wei, I have brought important news." The mysterious man broke the silence, his voice low and hoarse, echoing in the quiet hall.
Wei Changxuan was originally sitting in the main seat when he heard the sound.
He abruptly raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the uninvited guest like that of an eagle, and said in a deep voice, "Please speak."
The mysterious man slightly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that gleamed eerily in the darkness. He smiled slightly, a smile that, illuminated by the dim candlelight, carried a hint of the uncanny.
He said urgently, "I have discovered the exact location of a dragon vein's aura in an extremely remote mountain range."
However, that dragon vein had already been occupied by a giant python. Nourished by the dragon's energy, its strength had increased dramatically, and it had now transformed into a flood dragon.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan's brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.
His gaze quickly shifted to Gongsun Xiangyang beside him. Gongsun Xiangyang understood immediately, nodded slightly, and then asked in a deep voice:
"What is the current condition of that giant python? Just how powerful is it?"
"It absorbed a large amount of dragon energy and became extremely ferocious."
Now, it is not only incredibly strong, but also much more intelligent.
If not dealt with promptly, it could become an even greater threat to us.
The mysterious man paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, before continuing,
"However, if we join forces, we might be able to subdue it."
Wei Changxuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he had already made up his mind.
He turned to Lei Zheng and asked, "Lord Lei, how are your manpower preparations going?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Zheng immediately straightened his posture, puffed out his chest, and said in a deep voice:
