Tang Yizhen's son, Tang Qiandao, stepped forward and said, "Thirteenth Uncle! Did I hear that right? You want me to fight this kid? Isn't that just torturing him?"
Jian Shisan laughed and said, "I bet you can't win! If you can win, how about I personally teach you a move from the Myriad Swords Technique?"
Tang Qiandao was overjoyed!
The Myriad Swords Technique is a low-level Heaven-rank immortal technique with massive destructive power! Although it consumes a great deal of immortal energy, its power is unimaginable!
"Is what Uncle Thirteen saying true?"
Jian Shisan laughed and said, "I will never go back on my word!"
Tang Qiandao laughed heartily and said, "Alright, alright! Let's go, kid! To the dueling arena! I'll have to treat you to dinner after the match! You're truly my benefactor!"
At this moment, Gu Xun'er said disdainfully, "What's there to be proud of! It's still too early to tell who will win or lose!"
As soon as Gu Xun'er spoke, she immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Tang Yizhen looked at Gu Xun'er and was struck by her noble bearing and stunning beauty! He couldn't help but ask, "Where is this young lady from?"
Gu Xun'er said, "Gu Xun'er from the Gu family of Zhongzhou in Ziwei District!"
These words immediately caused a huge uproar in the council hall!
The monk from the Putuo sect stood up and said, "So you are the daughter of the Gu family, one of the eight great families of Ziwei District! My apologies for my rudeness!"
Tang Qiandao's eyes widened. Although he held a high position as the son of the Valley Master, the girl in stockings before him was indeed the daughter of the Zhongzhou Valley family! There were only about a hundred such large families in the entire Immortal Gang Continent! It could be said that the top hundred families were all giants with Saints among them!
When Liu Yingying saw Gu Xun'er and heard about her background, she couldn't help but feel ashamed! She was only born into a small family, which was nowhere near as good as the top 100 families in Zhongzhou! Moreover, the Gu family was not ranked low among the top 100 families in Zhongzhou!
Tang Qiandao laughed and said, "This young lady comes from a prestigious family, but she is giving this kid far too much credit! He is only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage! Listen to the fluctuations of the immortal energy emanating from his body! It's clearly saying 5 stars, 5 stars! Could I have misheard?"
Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "It's true that my Brother Lin is a 5-star Nascent Soul cultivator! But he's very smart! I bet you'll lose! Enough talk! Let's see who's the best in the arena!"
Guan Shiyi clapped his hands and said, "Great! The show is about to begin! I want to see it too!"
Looking at Guan Shiyi like this, he doesn't resemble an enlightened monk at all!
As everyone arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect's dueling arena, disciples from within the sect surged out like a tidal wave!
"Hey, junior brother, what happened? Why are Valley Master Tang and the Sect Leader out here?"
"Senior brother, you don't know yet! Valley Master Tang's son is going to have a martial arts competition with one of our sect leader's young friends! I heard he's only at the 5th level of the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Holy crap! No way! A Nascent Soul Stage 5-star cultivator can be our sect leader's friend? Are you kidding me?"
"Let's go! We'll see for ourselves! I heard people in the sect talking about him, saying that kid has a powerful background! Apparently, he's from another region!"
"Let's go! We have to see this excitement!"
The Spirit Sword Sect's martial arts arena is located on a platform halfway up the mountain! The arena is built against the mountain, resembling a bird's nest!
The venue can accommodate 100,000 disciples!
Lin Caogen braced himself and walked into the arena, only to find that 60,000 spectators were already seated! People were still arriving from time to time at the entrance!
Gu Xun'er brought a hot towel and wiped the sweat from Lin Caogen's forehead and neck. Then she peeled an orange and put the orange segments into Lin Caogen's mouth!
Fang Xueyi and Du Yumei kept massaging Lin Caogen's back!
"Wow! Who is this guy?! He's being served by three beautiful women!"
This scene filled all the male disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect with envy!
Liu Yingying frowned and said, "Does he really have that much charm? Lin Caogen! I want to see what you're really made of! Was it a coincidence that you injured my tiger's mouth with your sword before, or do you really have the strength?"
Tang Qiandao stepped onto the dueling platform wearing a battle robe!
His entire body was riddled with throwing knives! The name "Thousand Blades" wasn't given lightly! As the heir to the Tang Family Valley and having lived near the City of Hidden Weapons for many years, Tang Thousand Blades' cultivation, though only at the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor realm—far inferior to a peak Immortal Emperor like Liu Yingying—was entirely composed of ranged throwing knives! His close-combat abilities were equally formidable! With his throwing knives, even a peak Immortal Emperor like Liu Yingying would have to fear Tang Thousand Blades!
The atmosphere in the arena has been ignited!
Left with no other choice, Lin Caogen walked toward the circular arena with a diameter of 500 meters!
This arena is ten meters high and has thirty-three steps!
Lin Caogen didn't want to fly over! Instead, he walked up step by step!
As soon as he stepped onto the first step of the dueling platform, he suddenly looked embarrassed!
"What's going on? Why has the gravity on this dueling platform increased tenfold?!"
This was something Lin Caogen never expected!
Gu Xun'er also noticed something amiss and couldn't help but look at Jian Shisan!
The sect leader of the Spirit Sword Sect laughed and said, "We in the Five Mountains Region love to cultivate under gravity fields, so there are also gravity-enhancing formations under the arena! It is precisely because of the gravity fields used for cultivation and martial arts that the combat power of my Five Mountains Region can be called the number one in the Immortal Gang Continent!"
Gu Xun'er nodded and said, "I see! But it's too hard! It seems that success is not accidental; one must pay the price with sweat on the road to greatness!"
Jian Shisan smiled and nodded! He thought highly of Gu Xun'er!
"Hahaha, look!"
Several disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect burst into laughter!
Lin Caogen, carrying the Dragon Sword on his back, climbed step by step toward the arena! But he tripped over the steps and tumbled down them!
