Chapter 329 The Meaning of Bewilderment
Aily's face had turned a little red. Who could have expected Ezra Zephyr to reach 7 paths of ablution in the blink of an eye, making her feel shame for her earlier gloating.
She was still somewhat unable to accept the facts. Everyone saw Ezra Zephyr who seemed to ponder for a brief moment before the bracelet on his wrist flashed.
A split second later, a half-foot large crystal had appeared above his head.
"What!?"
"No fucking way!"
The instant it appeared, the numerous disciples in the vicinity could no longer hold themselves back from gasping, "1000 feet duct beast?!"
This time, even the nonchalantly watching Wilson Sallow and Govrin trembled as disbelief flowed out in their eyes. "How can this be?!"
The entire place exploded into an earth-shaking uproar the moment the half-foot large Duct Creation Energy crystal appeared, the expressions on everyone's faces becoming truly an amazing sight to behold. Even Chosens like Wilson Sallow and Govrin were affected.
The 7 paths of ablution may not be much of a challenge to them, but the crystal Ezra Zephyr had just taken out was clearly from a 1000 feet duct beast!
As rankers, no one knew better than them how difficult it was to find such a creature.
Once a 1000 feet duct beast's crystal came into their possession, they would be able to use it as a primer of sorts that would raise 7 paths of ablution to the 8 paths level!
"How can he possibly have a 1000 feet duct beast crystal?!" Wilson was unable to stop the words from leaving his mouth. He was no longer able to retain the impassiveness of his handsome face as disbelief flooded his eyes.
Beside him, Govrin's mouth hung slightly open, a strange expression on his face.
For the past half a year, they had painstakingly tracked a 1000 feet duct beast, only to end up losing it to Ella Abella. Hence their astonishment had reached the unmatched heights when they saw a 1000 feet duct beast crystal appear in the hands of a gold belt disciple.
When did a 1000 feet duct beast become so easy to find? From how shocked the two rankers were, one could naturally imagine how the hearts of the other disciples were akin to a churning ocean.
Under the countless stunned gazes, the prince took in a deep breath as his hands came together once again, and the half-foot large crystal above him shattered with a bang.
Thick and pure Duct Creation Essence flowed downwards, pouring onto the ancient stone pillar as it was swiftly absorbed.
~BZZZ~
A thousand rays of light abruptly exploded from the pillar as all the spiritual energy in the vicinity began to be sucked over at this moment, forming a seemingly boundless cloud that floated around Ezrq Zephyr.
~HIISSSS~
At the same time, a basilisk's hiss was heard once again. Everyone could only watch as another silhouette slowly emerged from the stone pillar and circled Ezra Zephyr's body.
It was the 8th silhouette circling in the 8th path! The 8 Paths of Divine Spirit Ablution!
All the disciples could not help but swallow at the sight of the 8 silhouettes coiling around Ezra's figure. Although they had just seen Ella's 8th path earlier, the former's 8 paths of ablution were even more shocking.
Ella was a ranker after all, and many disciples felt it within expectation for her to achieve the 8th path. But Ezra… no one would have even dreamt of it!
They had previously been prepared to see the lowest level Divine Spirit Ablution in history, but in the blink of an eye, Ezra had sent a big slap across their cheek that nearly knocked them unconscious
Before today, it had been something Sith Wiggins alone had enjoyed in the history of the past few decades, but now… Ezra had become the third disciple to obtain this glory.
It was something even the other current 8 rankers had never tasted before.
Moreover, Ezra Zephyr had done it as a gold belt disciple, a feat that no one had ever achieved in the history of Spirit Devouring Mountain, that's what everyone believed.
Although there was barely any significance in achieving it earlier or later in the grand scheme of things, it was hard for everyone to get over the shock it brought.
On one of the mountains, Aily dazedly stared at the 8 silhouettes circling around the prince, the expression on her pretty face rapidly fluctuating. This scene had likewise stirred giant waves in her heart.
Several disciples around her could not help but sigh. "Ezra is indeed quite the capable individual. Even in the history of our sect, there has never been a gold belt disciple who has enjoyed an 8th path"
"Yeah, even senior brother Sith only accomplished it after becoming a ranker…"
When she heard this, Aily could not tolerate it, she couldn't digest that the newcomer was compared to her idol, she icily retorted, "It's only an 8th path, and doesn't really mean anything because there's absolutely no way that he managed to slay a 1000 feet duct beast with his own strength. He must have gotten it through some other method."
A 1000 feet duct beast was an existence that was comparable to a formidable expert of the Foundation Establishment stage, and even diamond belt disciples like them would only flee if they encountered one. How could a 2nd level Core Formation expert like Ezra have possibly killed one?
The other disciples knew she was a die-hard fan of Sith Wiggins and thus merely laughed it off without arguing. However, they understood in their hearts that obtaining the 8 paths of ablution was an indicator of one's ability and luck.
After all, hadn't Sith Wiggins also relied on luck to become the first person in their generation to find a 1000 feet duct beast?
Aily naturally had an inkling of their thoughts from their expression, causing her to become a little frustrated inside. However, she knew that she would not be able to convince them otherwise, and could only cast a slightly peeved gaze at Ezra's figure.
"This bastard…" Aily gritted her teeth as her lips pulled outwards. She had to admit that the prince's feat of achieving the 8 paths of ablution was still very astonishing.
"No wonder Elder Lo thinks so highly of him…" Mubarak sighed in amazement as he gazed upon the 8 basilisk silhouettes.
Beside him, James and the gang still had slack-jawed faces. Mubarak's 6 paths of ablution had already surpassed the former's wildest dreams earlier, and he would have never expected Ezra's performance to be even more shocking...
At the sight of the 8 silhouettes, even James Endoro was unable to retort for a time. The only thing he did was resentfully withdraw his gaze.
The prince paid no heed to everyone's shocked gazes, his eyes and face burning with anticipation as he gazed at the 8 silhouettes
"8 paths of ablution, show me just how amazing you are." With a thought, the circling silhouettes released a hiss before they charged downwards, bringing along boundless and pure spiritual energy as they dived into his head
The moment the 1st basilisk silhouette arrived, Ezra felt a loud rumble in his head as boundless spiritual energy began to wash over him like silver water, soaking every inch of his flesh and blood.
The spiritual energy was exceptionally pure and did not put up any resistance when it entered his body. With a thought from the prince, the spiritual energy began to circulate along his channels like a raging torrent.
Silhouette after silhouette continued to enter his body. The majestic spiritual energy seemed to explode in his body, making even his skin dazzle radiantly. Spiritual energy was infused into his flesh, blood and bones, and began removing the impurities bit by bit.
Even more spiritual energy flooded his core, ultimately fusing with the Chaos Force there.? The spiritual gobs after gobs were created at a rate far greater than his usual training.
"Boy, I can feel it, this Mystery Turf can strengthen martial spirits as well." Said Fenrir, The prince didn't reply as he focused on spiritual energy.
As the spiritual energy churned inside his core, the pressure from Ezra's body began its steady climb.
What's more, the purple scales started to emerge on the surface of his skin and quietly began to absorb the duct energy contained within the Duct Creation Essence.
The purple scales came from the Dragon Pelt, Fenrir observed this strange phenomenon and came to the conclusion that both Dragon Pelt and Duct Creation Energy are from Mystery Turf and probably share something.
As the purple scales absorbed the energy, they gradually began to shine brightly! While these changes were occurring to the scales, Ezra's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened.
He could feel a rumbling noise spread from inside his body.
The spiritual energy pressure from his body seemed to break through a certain amount of bottleneck. A smile finally appeared on the prince's face. By borrowing the power of the Divine Spirit Ablution, his desire was finally fulfilled.
"I've reached the 4th level of the Core Formation stage." Mumbled Ezra, a boost of two levels.
Under the attention of countless disciples, the clouds above the energy reservoir slowly began to disperse along with the boundless spiritual energy. It was clear that the ablution was fast approaching its end.
The eyes of many disciples were filled with envy. An 8th path of ablution was something that benefitted even the top 10 rankers, let alone someone like Ezra Zephyr, who was only at the 2nd level of the Core Formation stage. It was likely that he would gain even more from it.
As the clouds gradually vanished, the figure of Ezra Zephyr, the Crown Prince of Bloodfang Kingdom, slowly grew clearer.
