Chapter 134: Zhou Ye Lifts the Cauldron, Confrontation

After being criticized by Zhou Ye, Li Qi only let out a light hum.

Then his gaze fell on Fu Ning beside him, and his eyes lit up: "I've heard that a genius has come to Red Mountain. Could it be this junior brother?"

He looked Fu Ning up and down, his eyes seemingly filled with an indescribable admiration.

Fu Ning felt a chill run down his spine when he was scanned by that gaze.

He instinctively took a step back and gave a slight bow: "Ahem, Fu Ning greets this senior...brother."

Fu Ning also imitated Zhou Ye's tone, deliberately speaking ambiguously.

How could Li Qi not understand his intentions? His face immediately darkened: "Birds of a feather flock together, and people of the same kind gather together."

"A 'genius,' huh? A genius who can't even enter Scenic Palace? I'm afraid only Red Mountain would accept such a person!"

With a snap of his folding fan, Li Qi turned and walked away.

Fu Ning and Zhou Ye exchanged a glance, both feeling a shiver down their spines.

"Junior brother, his gaze just now was a bit off."

Zhou Ye couldn't help but tease.

Fu Ning couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Senior brother, did I offend Senior Li?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ye shrugged: "What's there to be afraid of? We, the 'Four Heroes of Red Mountain,' have never been afraid of anyone."

"But this guy usually seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. It's a bit unusual today."

Fu Ning's mouth twitched. What in the world were the 'Four Heroes of Red Mountain'?

On the other side, Li Qi walked away with a cold smile, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "Kid, I'll make you regret it later!"

...

As time passed, the crowd gradually moved forward.

Many disciples were unable to pass the test of strength.

Even if they could pass, they could only lift the cauldron a few inches at most.

The cauldron weighed over a thousand catties, and relying solely on the initial stage of Little Yellow Courtyard's elemental power was not enough.

Soon, Zhou Ye stood at the forefront of the crowd.

He patted his big belly and turned to Fu Ning behind him: "Junior brother, let me demonstrate for you."

"In fact, there is a technique to lifting the cauldron."

After saying that, he walked out of the crowd and came to the side of the cauldron.

"Hey, isn't that Senior Zhou from the 'Three Eccentrics of Red Mountain'?"

"Senior Zhou is here too?"

"This fatty looks weak. Can he do it?"

Zhou Ye didn't mind the jokes from others. He went straight to the side of the cauldron, without any fancy posture, and directly placed his hands on the corners of the cauldron.

Then he straightened his belly and pressed it tightly against the cauldron.

"Up!"

He just pondered for a moment, and there was no fluctuation of Origin Spirit on his body.

The cauldron slowly lifted off the ground.

One inch, two inches, three inches...

Soon, the cauldron was lifted to three inches.

Seeing this, Fu Ning couldn't help but gasp.

There was no trace of Origin Qi fluctuation on Zhou Ye's body.

This meant that he lifted the cauldron without relying on Origin Spirit, but purely on his own strength.

It seems that eating Jade Rabbit really works.

Jade Rabbit is a genuine Spirit Beast.

Its meat contains rich essence and innate Origin Qi.

Both of these are good for enhancing physique and Root Bone.

Eating Jade Rabbit meat for a long time will naturally improve one's physical aptitude.

Zhou Ye's ability to lift the cauldron with just his physical strength shows that he must have eaten quite a few rabbits.

"Wow, Senior Zhou, relying solely on physical strength..."

Although the cauldron exceeded three inches, Zhou Ye didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

His belly was like an air cushion, continuing to push against the cauldron.

Four inches, five inches...

The cauldron continued to rise, but the speed noticeably slowed down.

"What?! It can still go up?"

"This Senior Zhou is truly not what he appears to be!"

Six inches, seven inches... eight inches... nine inches!

Senior Zhou Ye's panting sound passed through his belly and into the large cauldron.

A faint muffled sound came from the cauldron, finally ceasing.

Just when everyone thought Senior Zhou Ye was going to stop, in the next moment, there was a sudden fluctuation of Origin Qi on his body.

A phantom of a Jade Rabbit appeared.

As soon as this Jade Rabbit appeared, it seemed to treat the large cauldron in front of it as a frying pan.

Swish swish swish~

A pair of arms flew rapidly, each strike hitting the bottom of the cauldron.

With each strike, the cauldron rose a bit.

And this was precisely the talent of the Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit: 'Continuous Strikes'.

By continuously striking the bottom of the cauldron, it was actually converting the speed of the continuous strikes into potential energy.

In the next moment, the cauldron rose again.

"What?! It can still go up?!"

"Why does Senior Zhou seem to be as if he's been injected with chicken blood today?"

"It has already exceeded nine inches, and now it's... one foot off the ground!"

One foot, roughly from the ground to the knee.

Enough to make people marvel!

Soon, the cauldron rose more than one foot off the ground. Zhou Ye took a few more breaths before finally relaxing his hands.

Bang!

A loud noise.

The cauldron had fallen back down.

The three legs of the cauldron sank heavily into the rocks.

"It's worthy of being the 'Three Eccentrics of Red Mountain'. Although their behavior is strange, their strength is unquestionable."

"So Senior Zhou has been hiding his strength all along!"

"If it's just strength, I'm afraid it's not inferior to Senior He of Black Mountain."

...

As Senior Zhou Ye put down the cauldron again, the atmosphere among the crowd took a 180-degree turn.

Indeed, strength is the best explanation.

After Senior Zhou put down the cauldron, he let out a sigh of relief and then gave Fu Ning a look.

Fu Ning understood that it was his turn to go up next.

But just as he was about to step onto the stage, a Daoist figure suddenly appeared in the crowd.

The figure was dressed in white, shaking a folding fan in his hand, leaving behind a strong fragrance wherever he went.

Fu Ning couldn't help but furrow his brows. This person was none other than Li Qi of White Mountain, whom he had just offended.

Before he could argue with him, Senior Zhou happened to witness this scene and cursed, "Li Er Yi!"

Because Li Qi had a feminine demeanor, just like a second aunt, so others gave him the nickname 'Li Er Yi'.

Seeing that Senior Zhou was still indignant, Fu Ning quickly spoke up to stop him, "Senior, let him go first, it's fine for me to go next."

Upon hearing this, Senior Zhou gradually calmed down.

"What's going on today? Why did even Li Er Yi from White Mountain come?"

"Yeah, Li Er Yi... isn't it a bit strange for him to lift the cauldron like this?"

"Haha, now we have a good show to watch. Li Er Yi and the 'Three Eccentrics of Red Mountain' have never gotten along."

"Just now, Senior Zhou lifted it one foot, I wonder if Senior Li will compete this time?"

Amidst the discussions, Li Qi had already walked to the middle of the stage, beside the cauldron.

Clap!

They saw him calm and composed, his right hand flicking, and the folding fan was already folded and slanted behind his waist.

Li Qi sneered in his heart. He had no intention of competing with Zhou Ye in strength.

By intentionally snatching the opportunity to lift the cauldron ahead of Fu Ning, he naturally had another purpose.

They saw him extend one hand and press down on one corner of the cauldron.

"Rise!"

With a soft sound, the cauldron shook and slowly lifted off the ground.

"Wow! He's doing it with one hand!"

"Lifting it with one hand?!"

"Li Er Yi, a real man!"
