581 Fang Zhengzhi’s State (1/2)

Everyone had their eyes on Fang Zhengzhi.

But Fang Zhengzhi did not concern himself with the discussion around him. Not with Ping Yang's breasts rubbing against his arm…

What a soft feeling.

She had grown up indeed!

After being shaken by Ping Yang for some time, he was finally relieved. Forget it. The only reason why this lady would hug him immediately was to protect him while his powers were wasted.

As he was about to forgive her, Fang Zhengzhi snapped back to reality. Ping Yang didn't have the intention to apologize, and even asked him to fight the Demon King?

And to believe in himself?

”Believe my ass!” Fang Zhengzhi snapped. ”Are you blind? It's the Demon King, can't you tell?”

”I can tell. But your powers weren't wasted, right?” Ping Yang was taken aback, then replied as she blinked her eyes and looked at Fang Zhengzhi in anticipation.

”My powers weren't wasted, but…”

”Your powers really weren't wasted?! Hahaha, that's great, that's great…” Ping Yang was so excited she had cut him off mid-sentence.

And perhaps due to her excitement, she fell in Fang Zhengzhi's embrace, her pink, supple lips kissed Fang Zhengzhi's.

In an instant…

Fang Zhengzhi felt her tender, moist lips on his.

And his eyes were wide in surprise.

Even Ping Yang's eyes, too. She looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

”F*ck!” Fang Zhengzhi felt he was getting taken advantage of. Yet, what's worse was that Ping Yang had forced a kiss on him, and then pushed him away violently?

What were you doing!

It was you who initiated it!

Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to scold her, as he was well aware who was around him: Emperor Lin Mubai, Consort Hua, and Prince Li of the First Rank.

To scold Ping Yang in the view of so many people?

How would Ping Yang marry in the future!

But he wouldn't want to make himself marry Ping Yang, right? Well, Ping Yang wasn't bad, she had grown up and looks feminine…

Yet, Ping Yang was far from his ideal gentle and virtuous lady.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lin Mubai from afar and noticed his dazed, pale face staring right at him.

”Your Majesty, it was a misunderstanding! She initiated it!” Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to explain himself.

But apparently, Emperor Lin Mubai did not bother listening to his explanation, his eyes staring straight at Fang Zhengzhi while his body shivered ceaselessly.

”This brat's powers really weren't wasted? Not wasted? How could this happen? There was never one whose powers were not wasted after losing his Dao Fruit!”

”Oh? The emperor is talking about my powers?” Fang Zhengzhi listened silently as Emperor Lin Mubai mumbled to himself.

Then he looked at his surroundings once again.

He realized everyone was astounded by that fact. And it seemed as if no one noticed what happened between Ping Yang and him a moment ago.

”Fang Zhengzhi still has his powers? How is this possible?” Lin Xinjue was shocked. He had never expected this.

Whether it was Lin Xinjue, the Dragon Protection Squad, the Royal Guards, or even the Southern Region Army, at that very moment, everyone only had one thing in mind.

Fang Zhengzhi still had his powers!

And he had already admitted it himself.

”Blurgh!” Blood spewed out from Lin Tianrong's mouth. His clenched his teeth while his body trembled. ”Fang Zhengzhi, indeed it was you who burned my study!”

If Lin Tianrong had eliminated the possibility of Fang Zhengzhi being the arsonist due to his wasted powers, then now he could be certain that…

The masked man in the Crown Prince's residence that day was, in fact, Fang Zhengzhi!

”Your Excellency Fang, bring Ping Yang away!” Prince Li of the First Rank's voice rang aloud, bringing everyone back to reality.

”Alright!” Fang Zhengzhi agreed without thinking. He had already decided to escape, and now with Prince Li of the First Rank's words, he had no reason to hesitate.

”No, you kill that Demon King, then save Grandfather and Father!” Ping Yang's face was blushing but responded quickly upon hearing Prince Li of the First Rank's words.

”I'm not going.” Fang Zhengzhi rejected as he shook his head.

”Why?” Ping Yang was confused.

”Nonsense, because I can't defeat him!” Fang Zhengzhi really didn't want to say this, but he still said it simply because it was the hard truth.

Couldn't defeat him…

How then shall he fight?

Did he really want to seek death?

”You can't defeat him? But didn't you fight Canyang a year ago?” Ping Yang asked in suspicion.

”I fought Canyang?” Fang Zhengzhi felt helpless.

”Uh…” Ping Yang dazed momentarily and quickly snapped back. Indeed, Fang Zhengzhi had such a fight, but Fang Zhengzhi never defeated Canyang. But Ping Yang pouted her lips and reluctantly said: ”But… it has been more than a year since?”

”Yes, more than a year had passed.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

”So, what is your state now? You have some breakthroughs, right? You're in the Rebirth State, right? Have you reached the peak of the Rebirth State like Aunt Hua? Or have you reached Half Sage? Yes, you must have reached Half Sage, right? Since you're Half Sage, what's there to fear? So what if he is Demon King, you have the power to fight!” Ping Yang showed her anticipation once again.

”Did I say I have reached Half Sage?” Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips.

”It's not Half Sage? Is it… you've reached the Sagely State?!” Ping Yang's crystal-clear eyes glimmered with joy.

”Sagely State!”

”Fang Zhengzhi reached the Sagely State?!”

”How is this possible? He isn't even eighteen years old. There had been no one like this in the entire history of Great Xia Dynasty, right?”

The Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards were absolutely stunned.

Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. Reached the Sagely State? He wondered if he would look as pitiful as he was now, had he really reached the Sagely State.

”Do I look like I have reached the Sagely State?” Fang Zhengzhi asked instead of responding to her childish questions.

”Not really…” Ping Yang gave a serious look at Fang Zhengzhi and realized she had thought too much. If he had really reached the Sagely State, he wouldn't have said he could not defeat King Xieluo. ”But… even if you were just at Rebirth State, you could try!”

”Are you so sure I'm at Rebirth State?” Fang Zhengzhi opened his hands in helplessness. He seemed to understand why Emperor Lin Mubai and the others were so surprised when they heard his powers were not wasted.

It seemed it wasn't just Ping Yang.

Everyone thought he had a breakthrough.

More than a year ago, when Fang Zhengzhi reached Heavenly Reflection State from Star Conglomerate State, the Great Xia Dynasty was astounded. Then, when he had attained the Supernatural State at the Southern Region…

He still remembered everyone's expressions.

How was it possible!

How could he reach the Supernatural State!

It was utter disbelief. No one could fathom how he could achieve continuous breakthroughs in such a short span of time.

But now…

It was the opposite. Everyone thought he had a breakthrough, yet, who said it was a rule to achieve a breakthrough after a year?

”You're not at Rebirth State? Then what state have you reached?” Ping Yang froze briefly.

”Supernatural State!” Fang Zhengzhi replied nonchalantly.

”Supernatural State?! How are you at Supernatural State!” Ping Yang was flabbergasted. When she knew Fang Zhengzhi had not achieved a breakthrough, she was elated.

But…

What did Supernatural State mean?!

His powers had not increased. Why was he still at Supernatural State after more than a year? Wasn't he supposed to achieve breakthrough after breakthrough?

It was just Ping Yang who was surprised.

When the Dragon Protection Squad and Royal Guards heard ”Supernatural State” from Fang Zhengzhi, they were floored.

”Supernatural State?”
