Elder Yin was likewise able to see Ezra's half-heartedness, causing the forr to snort inside. However, he did not get angry. Elder Rustam's sudden appearance to help Ezra previously had clearly made Elder Yin wary. He no longer dared to so casually cause trouble for Ezra Zephyr.
"Let's go."
Said Ezra Zephyr to Theor Galearms, Zulfi Dimitry, Argus Woska, Shifa Pista and Xyr, before he turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
A wave of respect flowed out in the eyes of Ray Li, Rock and the other first class disciples as they gazed upon Ezra.
His almost effortless suppression of Toria and direct confrontation of Drake Tubble had completely won over these usually head strong disciples.
Drake's suppression was the reason why they had previously feared competing with the Shiyan disciples, but now, Ezra had appeared on their side.
As such, they no longer feared Drake as much as before.
With such thoughts in mind, they exchanged a look, began to follow one after another, creating a crowd behind Ezra.
With them taking the lead, more and more non Shiyan disciples began to flood over, forming a black mass that surged down the mountain.
The sight of this caused the expressions of nurous Shiyan disciples to turn sowhat unnatural. For the first ti, they felt that these country bumpkins were no longer easy targets.
The corners of Drake's lips involuntarily twitched at this sight, fury boiling within his eyes. In a certain manner of speaking, this was akin to stepping on their faces.
He never imagined that he would not only fail to destroy Ezra, but end up helping him instead, creating a central pillar that all these country bumpkins could now rally around.
Drake Tubble took in a deep breath, his five fingers slowly clenching into a fist. The gaze that stared at Ezra Zephyr's back was filled with a chilling iciness.
"Go ahead and be happy for now. During the peak selection ceremony, I will personally stomp you into the ground! I will teach you that the higher you climb, the harder the fall!"
After the confrontation on Energy Mountain, the atmosphere in the unofficial outer mountains grew increasingly tense. Various clashes happening between the Shiyan and non Shiyan discipes ti and ti again.
However, there was one change compared to before. The non Shiyan disciples no longer tolerated the bullying of the Shiyan disciples, fiercely striking back instead, causing the Shiyan disciples to be caught off guard and in that ga Naran disciples played the front role.
After all, the Shiyan disciples had only been able to act so proud and arrogant because Drake had the power to sweep away all the other disciples, making many disciples afraid to even raise any objections against him.
However, after the confrontation between Ezra and Drake on Energy Mountain, the non Shiyan disciples suddenly realised that there was soone amongst them that had deeply concealed his abilities.
If this was the case, why should they continue to be accommodating and show tolerance to these guys?
Therefore, even though the day of the peak selection ceremony was fast approaching, conflicts constantly rose between the two sides, each wanting to force the other into submission.
With regards to the disagreents between the disciples, the Spirit Devouring Mountain showed no concern, allowing them to do as they pleased. It was an unspoken rule in the Spirit Devouring Mountain.
Although the Spirit Devouring Mountain was a titan like existence in Naran continent, competition was needed for sustained growth.
And amongst all the other sects, Spirit Devouring Mountain is cruelest, they follow the rule of might is right. That's why the other sects were wary of Spirit Devouring Mountain, they called them demons.
The clashes between the Shiyan and other continent disciples would allow them to polish each other, propelling them to strive even harder in their prowess. From a certain point of view, it was a kind of motivation.
As for the disciples that were unable to adapt to such competition, they would eventually be eliminated.
However, while such disagreents continued to break out between the disciples, Ezra's reputation began to rise at an alarming speed, until it was basically equal to Drake's. Ezra was now known as one of the top contenders amongst unofficial outer mountain disciples of this batch.
Of course, this was an opinion mostly shared by non Shiyan disciples. The Shiyan disciples on the other hand, rely viewed this with extre contempt.
They believed that if it was not for Elder Yin's interference, Ezra Zephyr would have long been beaten back to his original shape on Energy Mountain.
When all was said and done however, Ezra's reputation in the unofficial outer mountains was now no lesser than Drake's.
As for who exactly amongst the two would beco the true number one, everyone would only find out during the peak selection ceremony.
~Rear Mountains~
Currently, the prince was still giving guidance for the Gossar Steps technique everyday as if he doesn't give a shit about Drake.
Drake was no ordinary individual. Although he was loathso, his strength was admittedly the real deal, but Ezra always grinned whenever Drake was ntioned.
While focusing on training his own people, Ezra also started to fulfil his promise towards Rock, Ray Li and the rest, the promise of giving them pointers in their spiritual techniques.
After all, he had already recruited them, and would also require their help in the peak selection ceremony. Thus, raising their strength would also end up benefiting himself.
By a certain mountain creek, Ezra Zephyr sat on a boulder, his gaze looking first towards Rock as he said, "The spiritual energy technique you practice is the Land Vandal Hand, right?"
The Land Vandal Hand was a mid grade Gamma layer technique. It was powerful and unyielding in nature, and every strike would be accompanied by earth attribute. Even tal would seem akin to butter before its might. At the advanced level, smashing apart mountains would be an effortless task.
It was as if a bolt of energy surged through Rock, while anticipation also began bubbling in the eyes of Ray Li and the rest also.
