She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Upon hearing this address, Ji Xianggua immediately flared up. "What did you call me, slanted eyes?"

When Dongshen Hanyu heard the term "slanted eyes," he couldn't help but think of those gossipy rumors. There had long been rumors in the East God Palace that his eyes were very similar to Prime Master Gao Yan's. They even said that he was Prime Master Gao Yan's illegitimate son.

Illegitimate child.

Even in a place like the Cang Lang Continent, an illegitimate child was a disgraceful identity.

Dongshen Hanyu wanted to be the genius disciple of Prime Emperor Dongshen. He was unwilling to be regarded as a disgraceful illegitimate child.

Dongshen Hanyu questioned Ji Xianggua sinisterly, "Ji Xianggua, are you looking for a beating?"

Ji Xianggua wasn't afraid of Dongshen Hanyu's anger at all. He didn't know that the term "slanted eyes" was taboo to Dongshen Hanyu. Ji Xianggua said, "What's the hurry? When we reach the fourth level, we will definitely be able to fight to our heart's content."

Dongshen Hanyu couldn't be bothered with him.

Ji Xiangxia had a carefree personality, which was completely different from that of his gloomy father. Upon being ignored by Dongshen Hanyu, Ji Xianggua wasn't angry at all. He sat down on the shore and said with a smile, "No matter what, we must have been the last participants to climb out of the magma pool. This time, it's a draw."

Dongshen Hanyu finally replied, "You won't be able to draw with me every time. The Vermillion Bird Clan is born with an affinity for fire. You're just lucky to be able to draw with me this time."

Ji Xiangxia knew that what Dongshen Hanyu said was the truth, so he didn't argue with him.

He changed the topic and asked Dongshen Hanyu, "Hey, which school are you planning to study in?

Dong Shenyu said without hesitation, "Of course it's Cang Lang Academy." With his strength, he was completely qualified to enter Cang Lang Academy. Therefore, when he mentioned Cang Lang Academy, Dong Shenyu's tone was very arrogant.

Ji Xianggua wasn't surprised to hear this answer. He asked Dongshen Hanyu, "Is it the inner or outer sect?"

Dong Shen rolled his eyes and said without thinking, "The inner sect, of course."

After answering, he saw that Ji Xianggua suddenly fell silent.

The Blazing Flame Mountain was really too quiet and dark. It was really boring to just sit there, so he might as well chat with a fool. Dongshen Hanyu took the initiative to ask about Ji Xianggua. "What about you? Which school do you want to go to?"

He thought that Ji Xianggua wanted to go to Cang Lang Academy, like him.

However, Ji Xianggua said, "It's none of your business."

Dongshen Hanyu was rendered speechless.

Soon, the staff came to pick them up.

There was a winding circular passageway hidden in the dark of the Blazing Flame Mountain that allowed a Time Capsule Car to drive inside. Dongshen Hanyu and Ji Xianggua got into the pill-shaped Time Capsule Car together. Under the light in the car, they could see each other's faces clearly.

The elegant and graceful Dongshen Hanyu was sitting on a chair in a black bathrobe. The collar of the bathrobe was slightly loose, and his exposed skin looked like that of cooked spicy crayfish.

Not only that, but Dongshen Hanyu's eyelashes and hair had also been roasted by the magma. Without his eyelashes, Dongshen Hanyu's eyes looked even more aloof.

Presumably, being able to last until the last night had really exhausted him.

Compared to the disheveled Dongshen Hanyu, Ji Xiangxuan's situation was much better.

Ji Xianggua was a member of the Vermillion Bird Clan, and most of his clansmen had awakened their Vermillion Bird beast form. The Vermillion Bird was also a fire-attribute demon beast. Although their tolerance for fire wasn't as powerful as that of the Divine Feather Phoenix, it was still much stronger than that of other beast forms.

Therefore, after being scalded by the high temperature for five days, Ji Xianggua's skin still looked normal. His long hair and eyelashes were also still intact.

The sharp-tongued Ji Xianggua couldn't help but mock Dongshen Hanyu. "Hey, with your charred hair and skin, you look like an eggshell that has been roasted by fire."

Dongshen Hanyu glared at him, then turned to look at the window of the pill cart in a daze. His appearance was reflected in the window and he realized that he really looked like a roasted eggshell.

Dongshen Hanyu closed his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.

Ji Xianggua, who had nothing to do, chatted with the staff. "Sir, the other participants have all left, right? Who is first and who is second between me and Dongshen Hanyu?"

Dongshen Hanyu secretly pricked up her ears.

The staff member was a relatively young-looking man. He held a participation list in his hand and was checking if there were any participants who had yet to leave Blazing Flame Mountain. As he held a pen, he marked off the names of Dongshen Hanyu and Ji Xianggua.

After flipping through the list of participants, the staff revealed a look of surprise.

He raised his head and said to Ji Xianggua, "No, there are still two participants who haven't come out, so the two of you are tied for third place."

Hearing this, the cheeky Ji Xianggua instantly stopped laughing. Dongshen Hanyu's expression also became one of disbelief.

"You're saying that there's still people who haven't come out of the magma pool?" Dongshen Hanyu suspected that the staff had made a mistake.Follow current s on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

Ji Xianggua echoed, "That can't be the case. Who is it?"

Ji Xianggua didn't believe that there was anyone more impressive than Dongshen Hanyu.

The staff could understand why they were so shocked.

One of them was the personal disciple of Prime Emperor Dongshen and had broken through to the early-stage Grand Master realm at the age of 38. The young master of the Vermillion Bird Clan was 35 years old this year. Although he had yet to break through to the Grand Master realm, he had reached the peak of the late-stage Supreme Master realm last year. He was probably about to break through to the Grand Master realm.

Compared to Dongshen Hanyu, Ji Xianggua wasn't inferior at all.

But…

The truth was right in front of them, so they had to admit defeat.

The staff opened the list of participants and pointed at the two names in the last row. "Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang are still below."

"Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang…" Dongshen Hanyu and Ji Xianggua looked up at each other in tacit understanding. They were both stunned.

Ji Xianggua quickly calmed down and said, "The beast form that Yu Huang awakened was the Divine Feather Phoenix. The Divine Feather Phoenix is a divine beast that has been reborn from fire, so they are not afraid of flames at all. The higher the temperature, the more comfortable they are. It's normal that Yu Huang can hold on until now."

Dongshen Hanyu's handsome face was filled with gloominess as he said, "What about Sheng Xiao? Sheng Xiao awakened the Black Qing Sky Dragon. Dragons like water, which counters fire."

Ji Xianggua opened his mouth to say something that could comfort himself and Dongshen Hanyu.

But he really couldn't make up an excuse.

Ji Xianggua held the back of his head with both hands and leaned back in his chair as he said frankly, "This person is very strong. We have to admit it." Glancing at the indignant Dongshen Hanyu, Ji Xiangxia frowned and said to him, "You're too prideful. People like you have been praised too much since you were young, so you don't want to admit that others are stronger than you. This is a sort of mental disease."

"In the inner sect academy of the Cang Lang Continent, there are as many powerhouses as there are clouds. Geniuses like you can be found everywhere. Are you going to sulk every time you encounter someone you can't defeat? Let me tell you, it's not embarrassing to admit that others are outstanding and know that you're ordinary."
