Ezra Zephyr, the same Ezra who had only been to the outer mountain for a month, was able to turn the tables and single-handedly defeat all 3 of Elder Song's disciples.

Such an achievement was definitely noteworthy.

Even the disciples who came with nitpick could not find a single flaw in Ezra's performance.

Therefore, every detail of the quarter match began to spread throughout the various peaks the next day, shocking and awing numerous disciples.

"Ezra Zephyr seems to be unstoppable. Though he is only a new disciple and reached 6th level not too long ago, even the seasoned 6th level Kimba was not his match."

"His spiritual energy is rather extraordinary and terrifying."

"No wonder Elder Rilda holds him in such high regard. It appears that he might actually have what it takes to surpass the previous batch's Sith Wiggins."

"Tsk, don't be ridiculous, it was only a quarter match between gold belt disciples… Which of the rankers is ordinary? Back then, all of them were also able to defeat higher martial prowess level opponents. This battle achievement of Ezra's is only barely passable."

"Indeed. Just think about how many fortunate fateful encounters senior brother Sith Wiggins has had over the years. I once heard an elder remark that given senior brother Sith Wiggin's talent, he will definitely become an inner mountain's elder within the next ten years."

"Wow, seriously? The first condition to become an elder of inner mountains is to step into the Nascent Soul stage.."

"Senior brother Sith Wiggins is indeed this sect's most outstanding disciple. Compared to him, Ezra Zephyr is still severely lacking."

"Tsk, you stupid blind fucks. You just hate Ezra because he is new, young and more talented than you. Could Sith Wiggins defeat 3 seasoned martial masters without even calling his martial spirits, the 3 couldn't even hurt him."

"Exactly, Ezra is extraordinary, they say his achievement of Divine Spirit Ablution doesn't matter. Will they face those duct beasts? They are just hypocrites."

"Hey, I heard this new faction of Ezra is recruiting disciples. What do you think?"

"Oh, you mean Bloodfang Army? I'll join them as well, Ezra is the future and unlike Sith Wiggins, he takes care of his subordinates."

"Yes, his subordinates are hella strong, there is one from our Heavenly Fiend Peak, he's called Theor Galearms. What a frightening talent and brain he got."

"Really! His subordinates are also in our Divine Demon Peak, the most famous is Argus Woska, we call him Unstoppable Ox."

"You must see Shifa Pista of Bloodfang, oh lord, the girl is a menace."

"Shut up, have you heard of Xyr? He is ready to challenge ranker."

"What! There is another newcomer who wants to challenge ranker?"

"What do you mean by 'another', who is the other one beside Xyr."

"His name is Zulfi Dimitry, he is from our Blood Slaughterer Peak. He is a fearful figure, all the disciples of our peak know him because he has challenged all famous disciples and defeated them. Only rankers are left. And… he is also a member of Bloodfang Army!"

"Not only powerful new disciples, the new beauties of Colleen Evil Peak, Ravina Ingale and Mahi Ingale are also part of his faction."

"Wow, no one in the sect had a faction with disciples of all peaks in it before Ezra.

Similar debates continuously played out across the 7 peaks. Though most of the disciples were still sceptical of the evaluation Elder Rilda had given Ezra, it was no longer as one-sided as before, some people wanted to be on Ezra's side. Evidently, after Ezra's performance during the quarter match, some of the disciples had begun to acknowledge his talent and potential.

At the very least, Ezra was already far ahead of his peers.

When all was said and done, every disciple in the sect now knew Ezra Zephyr of Alchemic Rune Peak. In other words, he had become famous in the sect.

<Colleen Evil Peak>

Ella Abella was seated on a misty stone platform, a green dress adorning her slender figure. Her gorgeous face was as cold as ice, like a thousand-year iceberg that would never melt.

At this current moment, however, there was a sliver of amazement on her usually frosty face.

"Ezra… what a reckless guy…" She muttered to herself. Evidently, she witnessed the result of the quarter match.

She was currently rather neutral towards Ezra. In comparison, she was much more interested in the one who had quite a special relationship to him, the two cubs.

Ella was a very prideful girl, and hence naturally had high standards. However, in her eyes, the two cubs and his relation was still too much of a mystery.

However, Ezra's performance during the wuarter match was quite a surprise to her. It seemed that he had tremendous potential that he hid intentionally.

"A new figure surpassing Sith Wiggins!?"

Ella Abella fell silent for a moment, her hand gently stirring the mist in front of her.

"Ezra Zephyr, my brain wants to support you but my instincts… they are telling me you are a catastrophe… a living calamity that can befall disastrous results. Who should I listen to, my brain or my instincts…"

<Alchemic Rune Peak>

In the garden within a certain courtyard of the alchemy faction, Elder Lo was dressed in simple robes, carefully tending to his plot with the small shovel in his hand. Meanwhile, the prince was looking at him from a nearby stone pavilion.

Elder Lo worked for quite some time before he finally stood up in satisfaction. He patted off the dirt on his hands as he walked towards the prince.

Ezra silently gazed at Elder Lo, who looked just like an old farmer at this moment. Who would have guessed that this ordinary-looking old man was actually a peak Foundation Establishment stage expert.

In any other place, a person like him could establish a small 4th or 5th degree sect of his own, and reign as its sect master.

In fact, if he was an alchemist in the Naran Continent, he would be an invincible existence that could cause war between empires on the sovereign side if he wanted.

However, Elder Lo was merely an elder in the Spirit Devouring Mountain, and above him were the various Inner Mountain Elders, Peak Masters, The Chosen 7 and Supreme Leader. From this, one can see how powerful the Spirit Devouring Mountain, a sect which was once the strongest sect in Naran Continent, truly was.

At the same time, Ezra also looked at the Demon Mountain, where the current Supreme Leader, the controller of the Spirit Devouring Mountain was residing

That man is one of the most powerful experts of this lower realm.
