Due to his popularity, Ash Bekham's words drew a series of verbal support from the non Shiyan and Rhiyan disciples.
Moshi glared at Ash Bekham when he saw this, but he knew that there was no longer anything he could do to Ezra Zephyr today. Hence, Moshi frostily glanced at Ezra, before retrieving his gaze.
However, anyone could see that the former was not going to forget this. The prince paid no attention to Moshi's gaze, instead turning his head slightly to look at Ash Bekham, causing the latter to display a friendly smile.
Since it was not appropriate for him to be too cold, Ezra nodded in response.
Subsequently, his gaze swept across the area as he cooly asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
The entire mountain was silent. Which one of the second class disciples would dare to respond after witnessing Peliok's miserable fate? On the other hand, the first class disciples merely watched like bystanders.
Thus, no one responded to Ezra Zephyr. Upon seeing this, he returned to his prowess platform and lifted his head towards Yin, who was seated in mid-air. "Elder Yin, may we begin the Energy Mountain training?"
Only at this moment did Yin return to his senses. He deeply looked at Ezra Zephyr, evidently not expecting such an outcome.
No wonder Xavier was not worried about Ezra's first class disciple status being stolen in the blink of an eye. It turns out that this kid was not as simple as he seemed.
However, this kid likely did not know that defeating Peliok would end up offending the Shiyan disciples.
There would only be more and more scuffled in the future. Yin wondered if Ezra would still be so cool and collected then.
His gazes flickered in thought for a moment before withdrawing it. His gaze then swept across the over ten thousand prowess platforms on Energy Mountain as his calm voice sounded.
"Activate Energy Mountain!"
"Wait, elder Yin!" Someone cried.
Yin was irritated. "What is it?"
A youth bowed respectfully and said. "I am a second-class disciple and I want to challenge a first class disciple."
Silence befell on the mountain, who would have thought that another maniac would target Ezra?
Yin felt joy bursting in his heart, he smiled and asked. "Who do you want to challenge."
That man answered in an angry tone. "Senior Brother Moshi of Shiyan Continent."
Hearing that Moshi flinched, not in fear but in shock. How dare someone challenged him, he thought.
Yin's eyes widened, he looked at that man and questioned. "Who are you?"
The man wore a straw hat, he raised from his bowing position and replied. "Second class disciple, Xyr of Naran Continent."
Yin gasped, he turned his head to see Ezra who winked at him and giggled.
"Naran Continent!"
"He is from this continent like Ezra Zephyr."
"Isn't he aware that Moshi is at 3rd level Core Formation stage, he is different than Peliok."
Yin threw another question. "Why do you want to challenge him."
Xyr replied with a cocky smirk. "I believe, senior brother Moshi doesn't deserve this seat."
An uproar arose on the mountain.
"You dare to disrespect your senior brother?" Yelled Yin.
At that time, Ezra Zephyr spoke up "Elder Yin, why are you being so biased? These same words were said to me by Peliok yet you didn't say anything to him. Then why so furious on our Naran continent, this continent is the home of Spirit Devouring Mountain. Even as an elder, you should be giving it some respect."
His words carried an undefeated charm and unflinching charisma.
All non Shiyan and Rhiyan geniuses were moved by his words and daring, including Ash Bekham.
"Elder Yin!" Another yell.
Yin stared in the direction of a bulky youngster was there.
"Second class, Argus of Naran Continent wants to challenge senior brother Gulabi of Shiyan Continent."
"Second class, Zulfi of Naran Continent wants to challenge senior sister Narangi of Shiyan Continent."
"Second class, Shifa of Naran Continent wants to challenge senior brother..."
"3rd Class, Theor of Naran wants to challenge..."
"3rd Class, Gill of Naran wants to challenge..."
Every single one of the Naran Continent challenged the geniuses of the Shiyan Continent. Only five challenged them for first class disciple quota. Xyr, Zulfi Dimitry, Argus Woska, Shifa Pista and Theor Galearms. The rest eyed on the quota of second class.
Cen Zutton was hesitating but after getting a reward from Ezra Zephyr, he also got a burning patriotism for his continent and cried out.
"Third class disciple, Cen Zutton wants to challenge senior brother Viscut of Shiyan Continent."
Seeing their sheer power, those other geniuses who were silent because of fear started to shout as well.
"Second class disciple, Moka of Chadar Continent wants to challenge senior sister Dari of Rhiyan Continent."
Elder Yin blinked in bewilderment, in the history of Energy Mountain, the such thing had never happened.
"The geniuses of Shiyan and Rhiyan, do you have the balls to accept Naran's challenge? If yes, then accept the danm challenges!" Ezra Zephyr roared, black and red chaotic lightning thundered as he said.
His dominance shook the mountain, Yin almost skipped a beat. Everyone's eyes widened, they gazed at their geniuses Drake Tubble and Ravina Ingale. However, unlike the rest, they both were smiling for some reason.
"I accept his request" the 1st to reply was Moshi.
"Elder Yin, I accept."
"Yes, I accept."
One by one everyone accepted the request.
There were around 700 challenges, out of which, 400 challengers were from the Naran Continent.
Elder Yin was baffled and before he could think of anything, the challengers dashed toward their opponents.
A war broke out on Energy Mountain.
"Hey hey, stop it." Elder Yin yelled.
Ezra chuckled. "Elder Yin, let them be. Let the weaks die, hahaha."
"This guy... he is a lunatic, curse you, Xavier." Mumbled Yin.
After a few hours, the battle ended. The result shocked the whole mountain, 80% of the total challengers succeeded.
Around 560 new martial masters came and cocky geniuses of Shiyan and Rhiyan took a huge blow.
But they seemed a bit angry not worried because only 5 Shiyan lost the first disciple quotas. The remaining were second class disciples, who were considered trash of Shiyan and Rhiyan.
All of Bloodfang Kingdom's martial masters won their challenge and only a single one from Naran who was not from Bloodfang succeeded, he was Cen Zutton.
The non Shiyan and Rhiyan were celebrating when a loud sound came from the top of the mountain.
"Elder, we have wasted so much time. Activate the mountain." It was the voice of Drake Tubble, who was not affected by today's great upset.
"Mhm, Activate Energy Mountain."
With a wave of his sleeve, a stream of spiritual energy fell into the volcano-like mouth at the peak, seemingly activating a certain Imprint Rune.
~BZZ~
The surroundings immediately began to stir. Every disciple lifted their head in astonishment as they watched the surrounding energy flood towards Energy Mountain like a surging mist.
The Blooming Spirit Flower before them began to sway at this moment, absorbing the spiritual energy in Energy Mountain. In the end, its petals gradually opened as boundless spiritual energy spouted out along with innumerable golden pollen.
On Energy Mountain, Spiritual Energy sprayed from ten thousand flowers, a scene that was spectacular and beautiful.
Ezra also raised his head as anticipation appeared in his eyes. He was dying to see just how effective the legendary Blooming Spirit Flower would be.
Flower after flower swayed on the titanic Energy Mountain, golden light pulsing in circles. It made the flowers look as if they were made of gold, an exceedingly gorgeous sight indeed.
A fragrance spread, filling the area.
The roots of the flowers dug deep into the mountain, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy within. Golden flower after flower gradually blossomed, the petals suddenly erupting as boundless and pure energy sprayed out.
Numerous golden pollen drifted within the pure energy, giving it a strange fragrance.
"Such pure spiritual energy!" Amazement flitted across Theor's eyes who just got his first class quota as he watched energy stream out of the Blooming Spirit Flower. He could sense that this energy was purer than normal.
Spiritual energy infused with golden pollen spread. Just as it was about to leave the prowess platform, the runes on the platforms suddenly began to glow, transforming into a dome of light that sealed off the entire prowess platform.
This prevented the golden pollen's spiritual energy from drifting away.
Thus, the golden pollen energy continued to accumulate, gradually engulfing the figures seated on the platforms.
Every disciple hurriedly closed their eyes at this moment, swiftly entering a state of cultivation and meditation as they greedily devoured the golden pollen spiritual energy.
Ezra likewise also shut his eyes, the Chaos force lightning slowly beginning to stir. With thunder, the Fenrir opened his mouth and a suction force appeared around Ezra.
The surrounding golden pollen energy was immediately drawn towards him, transforming into streams of gold as it rapidly flowed into Ezra's body through his nose.
Golden pollen energy swam along his meridian channels and entered the core, before being swallowed by Fenrir within it.
The golden pollen energy was swiftly refined, transforming into the force of Ezra Zephyr.
The thing that surprised even Ezra the most, was that as the golden pollen spiritual energy was refined, he could feel a faint burning sensation flowing within his Chaos lightning.
