C486 Blood Sea Flower(1)

The Blood Sea Floating Flower is an incredibly rare and valuable blossom for those practicing body tempering. For everyone in the Misty Mountain Range, this flower is even more crucial because it can quickly replenish one's life force.

Judging by the age of the Blood Sea Floating Flower, it must be several decades old. Just a single leaf can fully restore the life force of a cultivator at the Skin Stage, making it an absolute treasure in this energy-restricted environment.

"We found it first, but these four guys want to take it all without leaving us even a single leaf," Zhan Yifei complained.

"We have one at the Inner Stage and three at the peak of the Skin Stage. You only have one at the Inner Stage and one at the peak of the Skin Stage, and you still want a share?" one of the opponents scoffed, completely ignoring Woo Zhengyang and Rice. To them, these kids from the village were no match, especially with a little tag-along in tow.

"Yeah, when I heard your excited voice, I thought a real expert had arrived. Turns out it's just a couple of wild kids, haha..." the girl on the other side laughed mockingly.

"Rice is an expert!" Rice protested, waving her tiny fists in defiance.

"Haha..." The four of them laughed in unison.

"You... you shouldn't bully us like this!" Zhan Yinuo shouted, her face flushed with anger, her weapon trembling slightly in her hand.

"I advise you not to act recklessly. Even if you give it your all, it’ll be a wasted effort. You might even exhaust yourselves and not make it into the Bewilderment Dragon Stream!"

Hearing this, Zhan Yinuo, who was seething with anger, slowly calmed down. The truth was, their strength was indeed inferior. If they pushed themselves too hard, they’d end up with nothing, completely drained.

The other side had the Blood Sea Bloom, which could replenish their energy. But what about them? The opponent's words weren’t entirely unreasonable; even with the Blood Sea Bloom, they wouldn’t want to waste their energy needlessly. If a fight broke out, the other side would definitely go for the kill. Once they were all dead, who would know what happened here?

"Now that’s more like it. Knowing when to back down is wise," someone from the opposing side chuckled, moving towards the Blood Sea Bloom to pick it.

Suddenly, a figure darted past, and before anyone could react, snatched the Blood Sea Bloom and placed it into a jade box.

"You little punk!"

"How dare you!"

"Woo Zhengyang... this..."

Woo Zhengyang’s bold move left both sides dumbfounded. Especially those from the Moon Light Martial Mansion, who had never considered him a threat. They were stunned that this kid dared to make the first move.

Zhan Yifei and Zhan Yinuo watched the scene unfold. Although they felt a sense of satisfaction, they couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Woo Zhengyang's strength was well-known, but there were four opponents, and his power was only slightly superior to Zhan Yifei's. Plus, with a young girl tagging along, they were at a disadvantage. Such recklessness could only make things worse.

Even so, the two quickly positioned themselves in front of Woo Zhengyang, ready for the confrontation as the opponents across the room prepared to strike.

"Kid, hand over the Blood Sea Bloom," one of them demanded, clearly not wanting to waste any more energy.

"We saw it first, and I picked it. Why should I give it to you?"

"Because we outnumber you, and we're stronger. Don't make a mistake, outsider!" The girl, usually fond of giggling, was now visibly angry.

"Is that so?" Woo Zhengyang smiled slightly, not committing to an answer.

"Woo Zhengyang, I know you hate losing, and I'm upset too, but entering the Bewilderment Dragon Stream is what's important. Let's give it to them this time. We'll have plenty of chances to get back at them once we're inside," Zhan Yifei whispered in advice.

Woo Zhengyang didn't reply. Instead, he asked the opposing group, "Which one of you is at the Inner Stage?"

Zhan Yifei didn't understand why Woo Zhengyang asked but answered truthfully, "It's the one who's been talking, Yuv Qingrong."

"Alright, we'll take him on. Can you handle the other three?"

"What?"

The question didn't come from Zhan Yifei or Zhan Yinuo but from Yuv Qingrong on the other side.

Upon hearing that this young man from the village intended to challenge him, Yuv Qingrong was initially taken aback. Then he burst into laughter. "You... you want to take me on? Did I hear that right?"

Woo Zhengyang couldn't be bothered to respond to him. Instead, he turned to Rice and said, "Didn't you say you've never hit anyone before? Well, here's your chance. Go get him!"

"Alright!" Rice replied cheerfully, pulling out a long spear with a delighted expression.

In the next moment, Woo Zhengyang tossed Rice into the air. As Rice soared, his little legs moved comically, seemingly running on air. Only Woo Zhengyang knew that Rice was actually using the "Dragon Countering Nine Steps" technique to gather strength.

"This little guy?" Yuv Qingrong scoffed as he saw Rice swinging the spear toward him, clearly unimpressed.

In Yuv's hand, his sword was already poised and ready. As Rice approached, he swung it with full force.
