The Path of the Sage

Chapter 203: Strange Wind Canyon

Views:

The power of the weak water continued to impact Fang Yun's Wen Palace, which kept shaking, causing his mind and body to be out of sync and making it difficult for him to control his body. Like a drunk person, he often had to move sideways two or three steps before he could take one step forward.

Fang Yun originally thought that such a huge impact force might harm the Wen Palace and cause it to crack, and it might require the protection of Wen Dan. However, the Wen Palace never suffered any damage, and there was no need to use Wen Dan at all.

Fang Yun also felt that the Wen Palace seemed to be being cleansed, and entering this not-so-strong weak water did not seem to be a bad thing.

In this way, Fang Yun staggered towards the other side.

Fang Yun's current situation is like a piece of wood floating on the water. Although strong winds and huge waves keep blowing the wood around, the wood never sinks and there is no substantial damage.

The others only watched for a while before they were completely disappointed with each other's luck and left one after another. After crossing the river, only a few people including Li Fanming were still waiting.

As time went by, Fang Yun never fell into coma and kept moving forward staggeringly in the weak water.

The big rabbit under Li Fanming's feet was stunned. After a while, it rubbed its eyes, completely confused about what was going on.

Zu Yuanhe, Li Fanming and the others who stayed on the shore kept blinking, occasionally looking at each other with inquiring eyes, but no one could explain it. Logically, Fang Yun should have fainted from the pain, so how could he still hold on

It took Fang Yun a long time to reach the other side. The river was only ten feet wide, but he had walked more than eighty feet. Now he was more than seventy feet away from Li Fanming.

Li Fanming was stunned for a moment, then he looked ashamed and said, "Today I finally understand why Fang Yun is so famous. It's not because of his talent, nor his diligence, nor because of the Enlightenment River, but because of his tenacity! His endurance! He was hit so hard by the Weak Water, if it were us, we would have died of pain long ago. But he was able to persist, which is a great courage!"

"A great reputation is a great honor! He has only been a scholar for less than three months. Even if Wen Gong is strong, he is limited. He is probably the weakest among thousands of people. But he surpassed thousands of people and crossed the Ruoshui River. Think about the more than 80-zhang long underwater journey. If you don't have Wen Dan to help you, can you go on?"

"Absolutely not." Li Fanming said.

"This Fang Yun is really cruel to himself! Let's go and see how he is doing." Zu Yuanhe and Li Fanming walked quickly towards Fang Yun, and the big white rabbit followed hopping. A mechanical tiger in iron armor followed closely behind.

After leaving the weak water, Fang Yun quickly returned to normal. His Wen Palace stopped shaking and his body was under control again. There was not a single crack on his Wen Palace, as if nothing had happened.

"Fang Yun, how are you?" Li Fanming shouted from afar.

"It's okay, pretty good." Fang Yun said.

As he got closer, Li Fanming said, "You are worthy of being the Fang Zhenguo!"

"Although I learned more than you, I am still far inferior to you! I admire you very much!" Zu Yuanhe sighed.

Fang Yun was puzzled, wondering what happened? He was obviously walking slower than everyone else, and was more miserable than everyone else. He thought he would run into a bunch of people laughing at him on the shore. But from the tone of Li Fanming and Zu Yuanhe, was walking like this a success

"Oh, then let's go quickly and don't delay." Fang Yun didn't quite understand what the two people were thinking, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Let's go, let's run over there."

The three of them started running, and the rabbit was agile. It didn't match its size at all, which was very deceptive, but as it ran, it secretly glanced at Fang Yun and the other two, then leaped onto the back of the mechanical tiger and sat on it, revealing a wicked smile of success.

Li Fanming said as he ran, "The front is the Qifeng Gorge. The Qifeng will go straight through the Wen Palace. It won't cause much damage to the Wen Palace itself, but it will cause great damage to other things inside the Wen Palace. However, Wendan itself has great power and can be used to resist the Qifeng. You scholars without Wendan will suffer endless pain when you are in the Qingfeng Gorge. There are no more than five scholars who can pass through the Qifeng Gorge in a hundred years, and each of them has made considerable achievements."

"Fang Yun, we have high hopes for you!" Zu Yuanhe said solemnly.

"You can definitely pass it! You may even be able to walk through the fog and break this impossibility just like you broke through the wilderness of Jingguo!" Li Fanming's words were full of encouragement and expectation.

"Good!" Fang Yun was excited.

Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of Qifeng Canyon. Hundreds of people were lying at the entrance, and some people were slowly climbing up and trying to enter the canyon again.

Fang Yun raised his head and looked forward. The Qifeng Canyon was nearly twenty meters wide and three hundred meters long. Thousands of people were struggling to move forward. They were like passers-by in a typhoon, with their clothes blown up. They squinted their eyes, shielded their faces with their arms, and walked forward step by step.

People kept falling unconscious and were then rescued by an invisible force.

There was not a single scholar in the Qifeng Canyon. Everyone was wearing the uniform of a juren. Yan Yukong and a few others were not in the canyon. Liu Zizhi was walking in a relatively front position.

Li Fanming said as he walked: "This strange wind is just like the changing fog behind. If you can get through it, you can get through it. If you can't get through it, you will never get through it. Let's go."

The big rabbit immediately jumped onto Li Fanming's back.

It was very quiet outside the Qifeng Canyon, but the moment he stepped into the Qifeng Canyon, Fang Yun heard a roar like the roar of a wild beast, full of intimidating oppression.

The strong wind blew in Fang Yun's face, making it hard for him to breathe. He had to follow the others' example and shield his face with his arms. Then he felt a sharp and cold wind easily penetrate the wall of the Wen Palace and reach the inside of the Wen Palace.

The lights of the Wenxin Palace swayed slightly, and the statue of Fang Yun inside was also blown by the wind. Fang Yun's face changed, as if countless sharp blades were spinning and cutting in his head.

Suddenly, Wen Dan moved slightly, and the power of Wen Dan, which was close to the first level of perfection, released a powerful force, which drove away the strange wind and restored peace in the Wen Palace.

The roars of those strange winds became louder, and Fang Yun "saw" a tornado forming outside his own Wen Palace, which was constantly strangling Wen Dan's power.

Fang Yun strode forward. The further he walked, the more tornadoes appeared and the faster they spun, but they could not stop him at all!

"Is he crazy?" Li Fanming whispered.

"Don't be distracted. He should want to rush out in one go. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for him." Zuyuan River.

"Alas, without a literary talent, how much pain he must endure."

"It's far worse than sleeping on straw and tasting gall!"

Fang Yun's pace became faster and faster, and finally he even jogged. The admiration in Li Fanming and Zu Yuanhe's eyes grew stronger.

Qiu Chi struggled to move forward against the strange wind, feeling sorry for Fang Yun in his heart. At the same time, he kept comforting himself that Fang Yun could not cross the Ruoshui River anyway, and staying there would be a waste of time. It would not be considered a betrayal, and it would be a wise choice to leave early.

"Whoosh..."

Qiu Chi saw a figure quickly passing him, with a sneer on his face, cursing in his heart that running here was tantamount to seeking death, but after seeing the man's back clearly, Qiu Chi was stunned.

"This... isn't this Fang Yun? There's no doubt about it, he's still wearing a scholar's uniform! Other scholars can't possibly walk here, but... it's impossible for him either! He should have fainted in the Weak Water a long time ago!"

Qiu Chi looked at Fang Yun's back for a moment, with a look of shame on his face, but then he clenched his fists, looked determined, and quickened his pace forward.

At the end of the Qifeng Gorge, the wind was howling, and the clothes of every candidate were rustling in the wind.

Liu Zizhi protected his face with his arms and walked slowly against the wind. He squinted his eyes and looked forward. Seeing that they were less than fifty feet away from passing through the Qifeng Canyon, he couldn't help but smile.

There was a hint of pride and arrogance in his eyes, and then a hint of mockery emerged, mocking the paper tiger that couldn't even cross the Ruoshui River.

However, the mocking look on his face disappeared, and was replaced by infinite self-confidence. His literary courage went one step further and touched the edge of a realm.

Liu Zizhi smiled with joy. A super genius like Yan Yukong who had achieved the highest level of literary talent was out of reach. An ordinary scholar, even if he could touch the edge of the highest level of literary talent, could be called a genius and be regarded as the best scholar in Jing country.

The first eighty of Shengxu Road are already in hand! Liu Zizhi thought.

"Uh..." Liu Zizhi suddenly made a humming sound as if he was choked by the mooncake. He subconsciously stopped and stared blankly at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Liu Zizhi felt that all the beautiful things he had imagined before were shattered by this back figure.

"How could you possibly survive the Weak Water!" Liu Zizhi yelled involuntarily, and then a strong wind rushed into his mouth, choking him and causing him to roll his eyes and cough continuously.

Afterwards, Liu Zizhi discovered that his literary talent, which had just made some progress, suddenly regressed and was reduced to his original form.

Liu Zizhi covered his heart with his hands, his face turned purple, but he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and tried to move forward with hatred.

"I won't lose to you! You are just a scholar, and I am the top scholar in Jiangzhou and the future top scholar in Jingguo. How can I let you destroy me and our Liu family! I won't lose!" Liu Zizhi roared in his heart, moving forward step by step.

Soon, Fang Yun surpassed everyone.

Those candidates were shocked to see a man in scholar's clothes suddenly appear in front of them. Especially those who saw Fang Yun in the Ruoshui River could not believe their eyes.

Fang Yun had been jogging, and when he was ten feet away from the exit of the canyon, he finally slowed down, because the strange wind here was stronger than before, and it was an invisible tornado, which not only swept his body, but also had a strong destructive power on his Wendan Wengong.

It is the existence of this invisible tornado that makes this Qifeng Canyon a Jedi for scholars.

The strange wind outside Fang Yun's Wen Palace suddenly became stronger, but the stars in the Wen Palace's starry sky emitted little starlight, which fell on Wen Dan, making Wen Dan stronger and resisting the last strange wind. Finally, Fang Yun entered the white mist.

Fang Yun's literary talent was always kept within the Wen Palace and never leaked out, so no one noticed that he had literary talent.

Seeing Fang Yun enter the changing fog, those scholars felt empty and extremely lost, but then, fighting spirit ignited in everyone's heart and they tried to move forward.

Fang Yun entered the white fog and became more alert.

Changing fog is far more dangerous than weak water and strange wind.

The strongest Weak Water and Strange Wind in the Holy Ruins can easily kill great scholars, but no matter how strong they are, they are still dead things. The changing fog, on the other hand, has a certain intelligence. What's more terrifying is that the more monsters or people the changing fog kills, the higher its intelligence and the stronger its strength.

If the mist absorbs a certain amount of holy blood, holy jade and other holy objects, it will break out of its cocoon and turn into a butterfly. (To be continued...)
