Zhaang Ye had challenged the previous class of Inner Sect Disciples, defeating several in a row. The news quickly spread throughout the Inner Sect, and everyone came to know that even though Zhaang Ye had just advanced to the True Dao, his strength was exceptionally formidable. Disciples like Xia Changye, Bao Jinglei, and Pang Dashuang had all fallen to him.
After circulating within the Inner Sect for a few days, the news soon reached the Outer Sect. Tens of thousands of Outer Disciples, and even the servant disciples, all heard of Zhaang Ye.
While the world outside was abuzz with the news, Zhaang Ye had already returned to Rising Sun Peak to begin condensing the Top Three Flowers.
Atop a jade bed, piece after piece of Essence Stone transformed into dense Essence Qi. So dense it was almost tangible, the Essence Qi enveloped Zhaang Ye, continuously pouring into his body.
