The three male Cultivators exchanged glances. They knew that Jiang Mei, as the favored direct descendant of the Jiang Family, would definitely be able to produce three Building Foundation Pills.
However, the two individuals standing in front of the handsome man had unfathomable auras, clearly indicating they were high-level Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even if their cultivation was suppressed to the Qi Training Late Stage, their three opponents might not be a match for those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Jiang Mei saw that these three stupid pigs dared to disobey her and hesitated, immediately becoming furious and saying, "Do you three still want to stay in the Jiang Family in the future? The people from Luoyun Temple have humiliated me like this, and you are still standing here doing nothing!?"
The three male Cultivators remained silent. They were only weighing the pros and cons between Building Foundation Pills and their lives. As for whether this spoiled Young Miss was humiliated, what did it have to do with them?
Fortunately, just as the atmosphere on the Jiang Family's side became stagnant, Zhou Fan thanked his two Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, and understandingly said, "Young Miss Jiang, since you dislike me so much, how about I spar with your subordinates one by one?"
"During the sparring, outsiders are not allowed to interfere. I represent our Luoyun Temple in this battle, and there is only one condition: life or death does not matter. The sparring will only end when only one side is left standing. Young Miss Jiang, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mei pondered repeatedly with her meager brain for ten seconds, finally confirming that they held the advantage in this sparring match.
This man in front of her was only at the Qi Training Realm, yet he dared to speak so presumptuously, even specifically proposing conditions that favored their side. He was truly utterly stupid.
Jiang Mei smiled triumphantly. It was her first time experiencing the pleasure of an intelligence crush.
"Good, I didn't expect you, man, to be disgusting, but you're quite bold."
After Jiang Mei agreed to Zhou Fan's sparring conditions, she once again turned her gaze to the three stupid pigs.
"Which of you goes first? The winner will still receive one Building Foundation Pill. If you can cripple or kill that man, I'll give him two Building Foundation Pills!"
This time, the three male Cultivators no longer hesitated. Although they knew that the man who dared to propose such sparring conditions must have some reliance.
But ultimately, he was just a native of this mortal Small World. Even if he had some tricks, could he really defeat them, who were from the Cultivation World and at the same Realm?
Most importantly, those were two Building Foundation Pills! As long as they crippled that kid, they would have the resources to directly enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After the three male Cultivators scrambled for a bit, Jiang Mei found them too noisy and randomly pointed out one male Cultivator to be the first to fight.
The male Cultivator, chosen amidst his excitement, stepped onto the sparring ground with Zhou Fan, his face flushed with anticipation.
After both sides saluted, the male Cultivator smiled confidently and said arrogantly,
"Let it be known, the one who defeats you today is Jiang Hongtao of the Jiang Family!"
"Zhou Fan of Luoyun Temple, please enlighten me."
After the sparring began, Jiang Hongtao immediately pulled out a Low Grade Magical Artifact—the Thick Earth Shield—to protect himself, then chanted incantations, and a water-based Spell quickly took shape.
Zhou Fan saw this and did not rush to use his Body Refinement cultivation, as doing so would scare away other challengers.
He also pulled out a Low Grade defensive Magical Artifact he had crafted—the Black Armor Shield—to protect himself, forming a 360-degree protective barrier around his body.
Immediately after, he took out a Low Grade offensive Magical Artifact he had crafted—the Azure Edge Sword—and chanted a sword incantation to control the Azure Edge Sword to stab towards Jiang Hongtao.
The two exchanged blows, engaging in a "fierce" battle for a full two quarters of an hour. In the end, Jiang Hongtao was beheaded by a single sword strike, narrowly losing to Zhou Fan, who had one more Low Grade Magical Artifact than him.
The second male Cultivator quickly entered the fray. He also had two Low Grade Magical Artifacts, but their quality seemed poor; they were common goods among Low Grade Magical Artifacts. He was also killed by Zhou Fan with a single sword strike, narrowly losing to Zhou Fan.
The third male Cultivator also narrowly lost. This time, it wasn't a Magical Artifact issue. The main reason was that the quality of his Qi was not as high as Zhou Fan's, and he fell into a disadvantage in the head-on clash of Spells, having his Divine Soul scattered by Zhou Fan's Yin Wind Spell.
Jiang Mei saw her three "generals" consecutively lose by a narrow margin, each time seeming to be just a little short of killing Zhou Fan, and her desire to put Zhou Fan to death grew more and more urgent.
She was now like a gambler who had lost her eyes, placing her last hope on Li Old Tai.
Li Old Tai originally didn't want to participate, but Jiang Mei offered a high price of five Building Foundation Pills, which was truly too much. Li Old Tai couldn't help but be tempted.
She eventually entered the arena, but upon entering, she immediately played the old card, trying to win without fighting.
"Young man, you are too impulsive. This old woman has been immersed in the Foundation Establishment Stage for decades. Even if my Realm is suppressed to the Qi Training Realm, I can still use Spells from the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"If I were you, I would cripple my Dantian and concede now. At least you could preserve your life. Isn't that better than losing your life for nothing?"
"Less nonsense, Old Bastard. If you're scared, you can commit suicide."
"Good, good, good. I see you, young man, truly don't know what Qi Training is, and what Foundation Establishment is!"
Li Old Tai laughed in extreme anger, and immediately launched a Divine Sense secret Spell towards Zhou Fan in a surprise attack.
Only Foundation Establishment Cultivators can condense Divine Sense, which means this Divine Sense secret Spell is a technique only available at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As long as Zhou Fan's Divine Soul strength was lower than Li Old Tai's, he would inevitably suffer heavy injuries under this Divine Sense secret Spell.
However, as Li Old Tai's Divine Sense secret Spell heavily struck Zhou Fan's Sea of Consciousness, Zhou Fan's Sea of Consciousness remained unmoved, clearly indicating that his Divine Soul strength was higher than Li Old Tai's.
Li Old Tai's surprise attack failed, and she instantly suffered a backlash. She stared at Zhou Fan with her dim, yellowed eyes, disbelievingly saying, "You are just a small Cultivator in the Qi Training Realm, how can your Divine Soul strength be higher than mine, a great Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Zhou Fan never bothered to explain to his enemies. He cultivated both Body Refining and Spells, and over the years, he had also refined many first-grade Soul Nourishing Pills, whose pill toxins could be dispelled, through his third-grade Alchemy.
His essence, Qi, and spirit, regardless of which one, had long surpassed ordinary early Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and his Divine Sense had already condensed.
Once he entered the Cultivation World, his Realm would be able to perfectly advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage with the assistance of the System, laying an incredibly solid Foundation.
And this Li Old Tai was merely an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, how could she compare to him, a Qi Training Realm Cultivator with a cheat?
Zhou Fan strode forward, applying all his enhancement Spells such as Vajra Technique, Divine Travel Technique, Iron Body Technique, and Blood Burst Technique to himself. Then, under Li Old Tai's horrified gaze, he shattered her Medium Grade low-quality Magical Artifact protective shield with three punches.
Immediately after, a punch wind blasted her old body into a sky full of shattered foam.
A few specks of foam flew to Jiang Mei's side. She looked at the man whose Physical Body was steaming with heat, like a demon god, walking towards her, and felt her legs tremble, almost wanting to kneel.
"You... don't come over!"
Jiang Mei's legs spread apart, and she fell to sit on the cold ground, trying to intimidate him by saying, "My father is a high-level Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and my grandfather is our Jiang Family's Core Formation Stage Old Ancestor."
"If you dare to kill me today, once my Soul Jade Tablet shatters, as long as you appear near our Jiang Family members, my grandfather will be able to pinpoint you, the murderer!"
