157: Zi Yan breaks through: Who wants to compete with Brother Gu Fei?

However, having said that, Gu Fei was only a Dou Zun, and Gu Qingyang felt a lack of confidence facing Lei Dong, a semi-saint.

"Who cares if he can win or not? How will we know if we don't try?"

Gu Yao immediately made the decision, then stood up, preparing to find Gu Fei.

Ever since the leadership competition, Gu Yao had greatly admired Gu Fei, making Gu Fei the goal he pursued in this life.

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

"Let's just go try first!"

Gu Qingyang followed Gu Yao closely, rushing towards the mountain peak where Gu Fei was located... On the mountain peak where Gu Fei was located.

Zi Yan's absorption of the dragon phoenix origin fruit was nearing its end, and she no longer needed Gu Fei's help. Gu Fei had a day of leisure, slightly replenishing the energy he had consumed over the past month.

"When Zi Yan comes out of seclusion this time, she should have changed greatly."

Gu Fei looked at Zi Yan, who was still absorbing energy, and recalled the mature girl he had briefly seen in the Pill World, a slight smile playing on his lips.

After fully absorbing the dragon phoenix origin fruit, Zi Yan would physically mature.

"Someone!"

Gu Fei looked outwards, sensing several figures rapidly approaching. Immediately, he flashed and appeared in the sky above the mountain peak.

"It's the two of them?"

After Gu Fei clearly saw who the newcomers were, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Why are you rushing here?"

Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, and Gu Zhen, Great Commander exchanged glances and showed helpless smiles.

"It's shameful to admit, the Lei Clan's delegation came to the Gu Clan as guests, and their younger generation challenged our clan's youths, but..."

"One by one, none of us were a match for someone named Lei Dong. His strength has now reached the semi-saint level."

"Semi-saint..."

Gu Fei's eyes flickered.

The strength of a semi-saint was absolutely top-tier among the younger generation of the current Gu Clan. It was normal for them to be no match for a semi-saint.

"So you've come to ask for my help?" Gu Fei asked directly.

"Exactly. After much thought, the only person who can restore Face for the Gu Clan is you."

"However, I have no interest in competitive fighting."

Gu Fei shook his head and declined. He was not the kind of person who liked to show off.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not actively challenge anyone.

Moreover, he wasn't necessarily guaranteed to win against Lei Dong.

The gap between a semi-saint and a Dou Zun was like a chasm. Although Gu Fei possessed considerable ability to fight above his rank, Lei Dong was also a Prodigy. So-called fighting above one's rank was only effective against ordinary-level powerhouses.

Furthermore, during this period, continuously refining Dragon Phoenix crystals for Zi Yan had left him quite fatigued, and in his current state, his chances of winning were even smaller.

Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao stood rooted, their expressions grim. Their initial worry that Gu Fei might not be a match for Lei Dong was clearly superfluous, as Gu Fei had no intention of fighting at all.

"Gu Fei, this concerns the Face of our Gu Clan's younger generation. We should at least try once, no matter what." Gu Qingyang wanted to try and persuade him further.

"Brother Qingyang, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I truly have no interest in this."

Gu Zhen, Great Commander's expression was displeased upon seeing Gu Fei so resolute, not even giving them a chance.

"I've long heard that Gu Fei of the Gu Clan is a rare Prodigy. I wonder if there's an opportunity to spar today!"

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

Gu Fei looked up at the sky, where a group of people dressed in silver robes appeared.

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

"Doesn't dare to accept the challenge, is he scared?"

"The Gu Clan's number one Prodigy is nothing more than this!"

"Hahahaha, merely a Dou Zun. Compared to Brother Lei Dong, he has no chance of winning at all. It's smart of him not to accept the challenge, after all, why humiliate himself?"

"If you put it that way, I'd call him a hero, because a wise man knows when to yield!"

The Lei Clan disciples continuously mocked Gu Fei, some even directly insulting him, hoping to provoke him.

As long as Gu Fei chose to accept the challenge, Lei Dong's objective would be achieved.

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

Gu Clan disciples continuously came to watch, and even Xun'er was observing from a distance.

They all wanted to see how Gu Fei would Face this predicament. After all, the disparity in cultivation was evident. If he accepted the challenge, Gu Fei wouldn't have much chance of winning, but if he didn't, Gu Fei would lose a lot of Face this time.

This was Lei Dong's open scheme.

Listening to those people provoke Gu Fei, Xiao Yi Xian and Caier both frowned.

They were both worried about Gu Fei, as he had been truly too tired the previous month, and his condition was surely not good now.

They wanted to help Gu Fei, but their strength was low, so how could they help him?

"Big Brother Gu Fei... you still shouldn't agree today. Wait until your spirit recovers!"

Xiao Yi Xian and Caier stepped forward together and held Gu Fei's hand, hoping he wouldn't agree.

Both girls were stunning beauties who amazed the world. Their appearance immediately drew some jealous glances. The Lei Clan members hadn't expected Gu Fei to have such good fortune with women.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion..."

Gu Fei smiled at the two girls, then his gaze fell upon Lei Dong.

Clearly, Lei Dong was the instigator of this incident.

"A semi-saint, huh..."

"A semi-saint is still not a true Saint..."

Gu Fei looked directly at Lei Dong, not feeling the slightest fear due to Lei Dong's strength.

This composure greatly shocked Lei Dong, making him involuntarily think highly of Gu Fei.

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

Gu Fei's humble yet unyielding demeanor ignited Lei Dong's fighting spirit, so he no longer suppressed it and directly declared war on Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was fearless. Since they had already come to his doorstep, how could he not fight?

Just as he was about to step forward to accept the challenge, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

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

As the voice fell, a purple-gold light suddenly shot up from the Bamboo House.

Immediately after, a slender and graceful figure slowly emerged, stepping on the purple-gold light, with terrifying pressure approaching step by step.

The appearing woman was dressed in a purple-gold robe, on which a Dragon and Phoenix danced as if alive, exuding an undisguised noble aura. Her delicate body was tall and slender, with a waterfall of purple long hair cascading down, extending past her slender waist and reaching her perky buttocks.

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

Under the gaze of these purple-gold eyes, it seemed even heaven and earth would submit.

The current Zi Yan was no longer the little girl she once was.

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

A series of gazes first became lost in Zi Yan's noble aura, then their sight sharply focused on her back.

There, a pair of purple-gold wings, about a zhang long, gently fanned.

And as her wings vibrated, faint sounds of wind and thunder emanated, shaking one's soul.

"This is... Zi Yan?"

Caier, feeling the familiar aura from the woman, was somewhat dazed.

Xiao Yi Xian, learning that she was Zi Yan, was shocked as she scrutinized Zi Yan. This woman indeed had many of Zi Yan's traits.

Except for her maturity.

"This fast? I thought I'd have to wait a few more days..."

Although Gu Fei had anticipated Zi Yan's change, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned again after seeing such a huge contrast.

"Do I look good?" Zi Yan looked at Gu Fei, throwing him a seductive glance.

This girl had grown up in appearance, but her heart was still that of a little girl.

In the sky, Lei Dong looked at Zi Yan, who had suddenly appeared, with a very grim expression.

Because he could feel that Zi Yan's strength was several times greater than his. This aura was almost comparable to the two Elders who had come from the Lei Clan.

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

Lei Dong's pressure suddenly increased. Just then, Zi Yan's gaze swept towards him.

"Just now, who said they wanted to challenge Big Brother Gu Fei? He's half my master. If you want to challenge my master, you'll have to exchange a few moves with me first!"
