Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Gu Nanzhi was taken aback. Letting him choose was a good idea. Anyway, they already knew the rules of this challenge. According to the rules, each disciple had one chance to defend the title. To become the new king, one had to be the one who defended the title the longest.

"In that case, I would like to ask this junior brother for some pointers." After thinking for a moment, Gu Nanzhi suddenly turned his gaze to a certain floating platform.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly followed the person's gaze, and what they saw stunned them all.

"Huh? You want to challenge me?" A lazy, surprised voice rang in everyone's ears.

That voice sounds familiar.

No need to look anymore, the first person this guy challenged was Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was staring blankly at Gu Nanzhi.

The disciples around were also very surprised, especially the older disciples.

“That’s right, it’s you, junior brother. Come down and fight.” Gu Nanzhi pointed at Ye Liuyun and said seriously.

When Tianyi Patriarch and the others saw Gu Nan's choice of Ye Liuyun, they couldn't help but find it intriguing; this was going to be quite a show from the start.

However, what Gu Nanzhi didn't notice was that the older disciples on their Tiandao Peak were all muttering curses under their breath, secretly cursing Gu Nanzhi for being brainless.

"How could we choose this idiot? Isn't this just embarrassing for Heavenly Dao Peak?"

They were indeed criticizing Ye Liuyun, but apart from the new disciples, which of the old disciples didn't know how powerful Ye Liuyun was?

Even if Ye Liuyun exaggerated and actually used his full strength, sending Xuan Tian flying with a punch using only 30% of his power, regardless of how he did it, it's still not something that a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Gu Nanzhi could provoke.

Gu Nanzhi was probably misled by his senior brothers and sisters. He felt that Ye Liuyun was so weak yet he was with their goddess, which clearly angered everyone. If he challenged Ye Liuyun and won, he might become famous overnight.

The idea was certainly good, but he didn't consider why his senior brothers only dared to complain in secret but didn't dare to actually cause trouble. If Ye Liuyun was really weak, then hiding in Medicine Peak wouldn't have made any difference.

It can only be said that this is caused by the information not being synchronized between the old and new disciples.

"He is a disciple of Medicine Peak and has the right to refuse your challenge," Elder Tianjian reminded him.

Gu Nan was taken aback. There was nothing he could do; he had only been a beginner and didn't understand many of the rules yet. Three months was too short a time for him to even fully grasp the rules of his own Heavenly Dao Peak, let alone other rules.

"No, I'm willing to accept his challenge, so let's not waste any more time." After saying that, Ye Liuyun turned around and grinned at Lin Aoxue.

"My wife, I'm off." Ye Liuyun said this boastfully before descending from the sky and gently landing on the battle platform.

Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes.

"What's there to be so smug about? I already told you not to show off too much and to try to ease the tension with the other disciples, yet you're still being so high-profile," Lin Aoxue thought to herself.

Ye Liuyun jumped steadily from a height of several hundred meters without any injury, a scene that puzzled Gu Nanzhi.

"Strange, is this guy not as weak as I thought? No, am I mistaken about something?" Gu Nanzhi fell into deep thought.

Let's look at Ye Liuyun again.

"Boy, who did you just call junior brother? I only joined Medicine Peak on my first day. When did you join? How dare you call me junior brother?" Ye Liuyun asked arrogantly after landing, arms crossed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi felt embarrassed. It was clear that he hadn't entered the sect as early as Ye Liuyun, who was the first among this batch of new disciples.

"Hmph! We're all new disciples, so naturally the one with the higher strength is respected. You're just a mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, do you really think you can be my senior brother?" Although Gu Nanzhi felt that he had made a mistake somewhere, he had no choice but to speak now that the die was cast.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "You're too confident. Who gave you the courage? LJR?"

"Alright, alright, we can begin." Ye Liuyun felt he needed to give this guy a profound lesson.

As Ye Liuyun said it was time to begin, Elder Tianjian sighed and then announced.

"The first challenge match of the New Disciple Initiation Ceremony, Gu Nanzhi of Tiandao Peak versus Ye Liuyun of Yao Peak, has officially begun."

As soon as he said this, Gu Nanzhi activated his internal magic power without saying a word, and a bolt of lightning magic power blasted towards Ye Liuyun. Although this attack was just a test, it was enough to easily defeat an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

With everyone focused intently, the magical impact accurately covered the location where Ye Liuyun was.

It may not seem very powerful, but in reality, this strike is enough to shatter a small mountain a hundred meters high. However, it is protected by the array of Lundao Peak, so the power and might cannot be shown. Only the person hit by it can feel how powerful it is.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun was like a stubborn rock, showing no reaction whatsoever to the impact of the magic power.

This scene caused Gu Nanzhi's expression to gradually become serious, and the disciples around him who thought Ye Liuyun was no good also showed shock.

"How is this possible? He didn't defend himself at all and withstood Gu Nanzhi's attack without any damage? Could this pretty boy be pretending to be weak while actually being strong?" A new disciple couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After the impact of this palm strike ended, it was like a gust of wind, leaving no ripple on Ye Liuyun's body.

"It's so windy," Ye Liuyun said sarcastically, brushing the dust off his clothes.

Gu Nanzhi also dropped his dismissive expression, clearly realizing that he might have misunderstood something.

"It seems I underestimated you. Now, my real attack is about to begin."

"Thunder Technique - Five Thunder Transformation Hand." Gu Nanzhi raised his right hand, and a surge of lightning power shot up from his hand and disappeared into the clouds. As the lightning struck a floating cloud, a large number of white clouds gathered together under his power, covering the sky above the arena area where they were located.

Not only that, the white floating clouds quickly turned into dark clouds, with lightning flashing within them, and for a moment the might of heaven was overwhelming.

Lightning magic can be said to be the most destructive technique among all attributes, and it is also one of the strongest inheritances of Heavenly Dao Peak.

Having studied factional tactics for three months, they naturally had to show them off.

As lightning converged, a giant hand formed from thunderbolts plummeted from the dark clouds toward Ye Liuyun's location at an incredible speed.

This attack was incredibly fast and powerful, easily reaching the level of the Out-of-Body Realm.

However, just when everyone thought Ye Liuyun couldn't hold on, something completely unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun opened her mouth and, in full view of everyone, inhaled the lightning hand. Then, the lightning power on the lightning hand was as if it were being drawn away by a lightning rod, forced to flow into Ye Liuyun's small mouth.

And so, Ye Liuyun swallowed a high-grade Dao Palace level technique.

"Burp!" After swallowing this move, Ye Liuyun burped comically, as if he had just finished eating.

"What?" Gu Nanzhi's face turned green, and the surrounding cultivators were equally dumbfounded.

Although the older disciples knew that this move wouldn't work on Ye Liuyun, they didn't expect that Ye Liuyun would actually take it by heart.

"Oh, I'm so full. Thanks for the treat. Kid, do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? Come on, feed your senior brother some more," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Gu Nanzhi finally understood that he had probably chosen the worst possible opponent.

"What kind of evil method did you use?" Gu Nanzhi still couldn't believe that his powerful magic had been eaten like that.

"Enough with the nonsense. Kid, you like lightning magic, huh? Come on, let me show you my lightning magic."

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, then raised his hand and shouted angrily at the sky.

"Come, thunder from the heavens, heed my command!"

"Thunder Magic - Heavenly Punishment"

Ye Liuyun pretended to shout towards the sky, and the next moment, a thunderous roar resounded through the heavens.

"Boom!"

After a thunderclap, a bolt of lightning streaked down from the dark clouds, striking directly at Gu Nanzhi.

Gu Nanzhiming noticed the lightning strike immediately and quickly dodged it. The lightning struck the spot where he had been standing.

But then came the second and the third bolts, one after another, striking the ground incessantly. The crackling sounds echoed all around. Gu Nanzhi kept dodging, but no matter how she tried to dodge, the lightning bolts above seemed to be locked onto her.

"Damn it, what kind of technique is this? Why is there no fluctuation of magical power at all?" Gu Nanzhi's face was extremely ugly.

He had no time to retaliate; every time he dodged, another bolt of lightning struck.

Looking at Ye Liuyun, she saw Gu Nanzhi with a playful expression. She didn't intend to take the opportunity to attack him, because there was no need. He had originally wanted to make a fool of her, so she certainly couldn't just eliminate him so easily.

"What kind of technique is this? He didn't even cast a spell, he just shouted, and the lightning obeyed his command to attack Gu Nanzhi? Isn't this like words becoming law?" The experts and senior disciples of Tiandao Peak were all dumbfounded.

Even the Heavenly Ancestor couldn't figure out what kind of technique Ye Liuyun was using, and even the Heavenly Thunder Peak, who practiced the Transformation Thunder Technique, couldn't tell.

Without a doubt, Ye Liuyun must have secretly used the Thunder Control Pill. Over the years, Ye Liuyun has developed a method to activate the pill, making it completely undetectable and even more secretive than the previous method of hiding it in the body beforehand.

That is to store it in the divine sense space. After Ye Liuyun reached the True Essence Realm, he discovered that his divine sense space could collect things. With a single thought, he could activate or take out what he wanted.

The elixir is hidden in the divine sense space; who could possibly see that?

"Damn it, how come there's still more?" Gu Nanzhi was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

He wanted to attack Ye Liuyun to interrupt Ye Liuyun's methods, but as soon as he was distracted, lightning followed closely behind.

As for Ye Liuyun, she had already sat down cross-legged on the spot, looking at Gu Nanzhi with a bored expression.

Actually, this guy brought this upon himself. If he hadn't attracted the thunderclouds, he probably wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Although Ye Liuyun also had pills that could summon lightning, their effects were short-lived, making it impossible for him to continuously release lightning. If Gu Nanzhi withdrew his magic power at this moment and the thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, he could escape, though he was unaware of it.

Ye Liuyun was trying to disgust him, using his power to attack himself.

About three minutes later, Gu Nanzhi's magic power was probably almost exhausted, and the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse, thus the heavenly punishment disappeared.

Gu Nanzhi was panting heavily. He looked warily at Ye Liuyun, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and then at the lightning that had already dispersed in the sky.

He quickly realized what was happening.

"Oh... I see. Damn it, this guy actually used my power to attack me. How come I didn't notice sooner?" Gu Nanzhi felt extremely ashamed.

He felt humiliated.

"Damn it, are you playing me for a fool?" Gu Nanzhi asked angrily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun rested her chin on her knee with one hand, looking at Gu Nanzhi with a mocking expression.

That look in his eyes was saying, "I'm just playing with you. Who told you to act tough in front of me and try to make a name for yourself in the Taishang Ganying Sect by stepping on me? Of course, I can't let you have it too easy."

"Damn it, I don't believe it, let's do it again." Gu Nanzhi was furious and prepared to attack again.

However, Ye Liuyun didn't want to play along anymore. Suddenly, Ye Liuyun opened his mouth and spat at Gu Nanzhi. The next moment, the Five Thunder Transformation Hand that Ye Liuyun had swallowed not long ago reappeared and blasted towards Gu Nanzhi, who was already exhausted.

This attack was even faster than when he had unleashed it. The Five Thunder Transformation Hand grabbed Gu Nanzhi in his hand, and the powerful electric current made him scream.

"what……"

The screams echoed throughout the Debate Peak.

"Damn it, this is my power, but why has it become more powerful?" Gu Nanzhi could naturally sense the fluctuations of his own magical power on this lightning magic.

This is a classic example of being harmed by one's own magical power.

Soon, the lightning dissipated, and Gu Nanzhi, his body emitting blue smoke and with an expression of unwillingness, fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

"Done." After confirming that the guy had passed out, Ye Liuyun stood up and patted his butt.

Ye Liuyun won this battle inexplicably; no one could understand his methods.

"He...he just lost like that? What...what's going on with this guy? It's unbelievable, Gu Nanzhi actually lost to his own lightning technique." Disciples from all factions were greatly surprised.

Elder Tianjian sighed and then announced.

"Ye Liuyun of Yaofeng has won. Ye Liuyun, would you consider defending your title and accepting further challenges?"

Now that he's already up here, Ye Liuyun definitely doesn't intend to go down.

"Elder Tianjian, I am willing to continue the challenge. May I choose my opponent?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

"That's natural. According to the rules, except for the eight special factions, new disciples from other factions who are selected must accept the challenge and cannot refuse," Elder Tianjian replied.

Ye Liuyun laughed when he heard this.

The disciples of Tiandao Peak immediately carried Gu Nanzhi back. This formation has the effect of suppressing deadly attacks. That is to say, once the formation judges that your attack will kill someone, it will block and suppress it immediately.

So there's no need to worry about anyone dying; at most, you'll get a few injuries.

"In that case, you, get down here." Ye Liuyun shouted, pointing at a new disciple of Tianhuo Peak.

There were too many disciples at Tianhuo Peak, so they didn't know who Ye Liuyun was referring to, and they were all looking at each other in confusion.

"Stop looking at others, it's you, the one who looks a bit sleazy, yes, it's you, get down here."

After Ye Liuyun confirmed it repeatedly, a tall, thin young man who looked to be in his early twenties flew down from the stage with a nervous expression.

"Damn it, why did you choose me? I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage!" the young man said angrily.

Ye Liuyun said with a fierce expression.

"When I arrived, I heard you calling me a gigolo, didn't you? Well, I'm going to show you what a gigolo can do. Come on, let's begin." Ye Liuyun publicly stated his reason for choosing this guy.

As soon as he said this, those who knew Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh.

"This guy is too vengeful," Lin Aoxue said, both amused and exasperated.

The other disciples who had no problem with Ye Liuyun found it amusing, and even thought Ye Liuyun was kind of cute and funny.

"You? So many people are criticizing you, why did you only pick me?" The young man said angrily after a moment of surprise.

"Others are others, and you are you. Enough with the nonsense, Elder Tianjian, shall we begin the challenge?" Ye Liuyun asked.
