Fang Yu couldn't help but be taken aback.

Gu Sheng had been relentlessly pursuing Mandala for so many years, there must be a reason for that.

Could it be...

He knew the secrets of Mandala?

Looking at the expectant eyes of Gu Sheng, Fang Yu said, "May I refuse to answer?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Fang Yu had already won in the medical expertise contest, and given the circumstances, with Gu Sheng willing to back down, by rights, Fang Yu should have answered his question. Unexpectedly, he did not respond.

Wasn't he afraid that Doctor Gu would turn hostile on the spot?

Gu Sheng said, "You may refuse to answer."

Fang Yu laughed and said,

"Mandala was unlocked by me eight years ago. If you want to know more about the secrets of Mandala, I'm sorry, but I have nothing to tell you."

Upon hearing this,

Gu Sheng was tremendously shaken.

He looked at Fang Yu incredulously and said, "Eight years ago...Eight years ago, you unlocked Mandala?"

"That's right."

Fang Yu's expression remained calm as his tone grew firm, "All I can tell you is... even your large Sealing Spirit Array cannot do anything to me..."

"Hmm?"

"You don't believe it?"

It wasn't just Gu Sheng who was incredulous; even the Tyrant Heavenly Rank powerhouse Li Xuan standing behind him didn't believe it.

With his impressive strength, he was unable to break this Array.

He didn't believe that Fang Yu could.

Fang Yu smiled slightly, slowly raised his hand, and said,

"The Tyrant Heavenly Rank powerhouse, is it?"

Suddenly, everyone realized that the atmosphere had changed.

Tyrant Heavenly Rank powerhouse Li Xuan also couldn't help but tremble slightly, feeling an inexplicable pressure emanating from Fang Yu.

Suddenly—

"Super Star Array Hand, Nine Layer Harmony!"

In full view of everyone.

Within the bounds of the Sealing Spirit Array.

A vast hand seal tore through the roof, slicing across tables and chairs—

Crack.

Boom!

Heading straight for Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's complexion changed dramatically; even as a Tyrant Heavenly Rank powerhouse, he found himself with nowhere to hide from this sudden, close-range, enormous hand seal and had no choice but to brace himself to withstand it.

"Xuantian Shield!"

In front of Li Xuan, a shield condensed from Gang Qi suddenly appeared.

Everyone watched in amazement.

Indeed, a Tyrant Heavenly Rank powerhouse was as terrifying as they come, able to condense Gang Qi at will to resist this crushing force.

However...

What was unexpected was this.

With a loud boom,

The Super Star Array Hand, Nine Layer Harmony, struck the Xuantian Shield Combat Skill. The first layer ground away half of it, the second layer smashed the Xuantian Shield into nothingness, and the third layer of the Super Star Array Hand slammed directly into Li Xuan.

With no Gang Qi to protect his body, Li Xuan could only resist with his profound Inner Essence instinctively.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of the Nine Layer Harmony.

Bang—

He was sent flying backward.

For a moment,

The whole place fell silent.

So quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Even the courtyard outside became dead quiet.

Gu Sheng was particularly stunned, his entire face twisted together, frozen like a paused photograph.

Fang Yu withdrew his hand nonchalantly, glancing indifferently at Gu Sheng.

In fact, he had known all along that he could defeat a Tyrant Heavenly Rank powerhouse.

After breaking through to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Dragon Technique, Fang Yu's strength had directly entered the Realm of Xuantian. Coupled with the Ancient Battle Technique, such a close-range surprise attack, even a Tyrant Heavenly Rank, one level higher than Xuantian, would suffer.

Back when Fang Yu was at the Earth Rank, he managed to slay the Thunder Giant Lei Hao, a minor Heavenly Rank, with the power of the Ancient Battle Technique and the Dragon Roar Sword.

What's more for a Tyrant Heavenly Rank that wasn't that far apart in strength?

"The Array Master who helped you inscribe this massive Sealing Spirit Array is indeed not bad. It's just a pity you shouldn't have chosen him as the Array Eye. You needn't be surprised... who else can freely expend Inner Essence within the Sealing Spirit Array, if not the Array Eye?"

Song Gusheng was full of shock.

Li Xuan, who had crashed into the wall creating a large hole and was lying in a pile of debris, was also stunned upon hearing these words.

"You share the same mistake as Xi Zhongwen from the Black Mountain Sect—you're the Array Eye, yet you like to flaunt yourself in front of your opponents. Life must be boring for you... Don't tell me it was Xi Zhongwen who engraved this inferior Array for you!"

Song Gusheng exclaimed in disbelief, "How... how could you know even that!?"

He was beyond words to describe his feelings at this moment.

If previously he had regarded Fang Yu with contempt,

now he was completely convinced and admiring.

It was as if everything was within Fang Yu's control.

"Is this your second question? Let me make it clear to you... I've known it from the start," said Fang Yu.

"You... within the Sealing Spirit Array, why aren't you afraid of depleting your Inner Essence?" Song Gusheng sputtered out his question.

"Because, I'm more frightening than you can imagine," said Fang Yu with a smile.

"..."

Song Gusheng felt as if he could no longer breathe.

Frowning deeply, he looked at Fang Yu once again.

He continued, "You used the Golden Needle to draw out the Restriction Power... was that really... Acupuncture from traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Absolutely genuine."

"Traditional Chinese medicine was at its peak in Ancient Times... Who... who is your master?" Song Gusheng had begun to address Fang Yu with honorifics.

Chen Daotian, noticing this change, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Fang Yu answered:

"I have no master... Self-taught."

"..."

Song Gusheng's heartbeat quickened as he said, "My last... the last question. Who... who exactly are you?"

Hearing this question,

Fang Yu was momentarily taken aback.

He had heard this question many times before.

Each time his response was different.

And often, he chose not to answer.

But regardless of the answer, one commonality was—shock.

They were shocked by Fang Yu's strength, causing them to question his identity.

Looking at Song Gusheng's similar expression, Fang Yu replied:

"Jiangzhou Iron Fist King, Fang Yu."

Upon hearing this,

Song Gusheng staggered backward, a brief vacancy in his eyes.

At the same time,

Li Xuan had returned to the hall.

The disciples of Ancient Life Hall swallowed hard, no one daring to speak.

Li Xuan greeted him with a cupped-fist salute:

"Thank you for showing mercy."

Fang Yu just smiled.

Li Xuan's words stirred even greater astonishment in Song Gusheng.

"The skill you used just now, that must be the Ancient Battle Technique, Nine Layer, right?"

"Correct."

"Rumor has it, the Nine Layer combat skill can stack up to the Ninth Layer. With the Third Layer, one can already challenge an opponent of a higher Rank. I wonder, how many Layers can Mr. Fang execute?" Li Xuan was very surprised and wanted to clear up this question.

Fang Yu replied indifferently:

"No more, no less... Nine Layers."

Upon these words.

Silence fell over the entire place once again.

When Fang Yu practised the Eighth Layer Divine Dragon Technique, he could already execute up to the Eighth Layer of the Nine Layer sequence. Now that he had broken through to the Nine Layer Divine Dragon Technique, naturally, he could easily wield all Nine Layers.

Still...

The Nine Layer combat skill was too powerful.

He would not utilize the Nine Layer skill unless it was a last resort.

At this point,

Fang Yu said aloud, "Your questions are now finished, is it my turn yet?"

Everyone felt their breathing freeze.

They sensed an intense killing intent and oppression coming from Fang Yu, which made them have no thought of resisting at all.

This was the kind of presence only someone who holds a position of authority would possess.
