"Brother Wang, it's been a long time."
Li Jingxiao drew his Qingxuan Sword, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Wang Ting's figure was as strong as an iron tower. He held a long spear, and his whole body was filled with surging lightning power. Upon hearing this, he also sighed with a sigh.
“Li Jingxiao… I’ve met you before. I never expected that you could grow to this level in just two years. I really didn’t expect that.”
The two met two years ago during a mission to eliminate remnants of the demonic path. At that time, Wang Ting was already listed on the Xuan Yan Martial Ranking and was the leader of the Demon-Slaying Sect, while Li Jingxiao was just an ordinary disciple who had only recently entered the sect. He was somewhat intimidated when he met Wang Ting and behaved quite respectfully.
The fact that he could stand on the same stage as him today to fight was a scene that Wang Ting had never imagined two years ago.
Wang Ting gripped his spear tightly, his face somber.
"However, there's no use saying anything now. We're all fighting for the honor of our respective sects, so come on! I won't hold back!"
"That suits me perfectly!"
Li Jingxiao laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
"Wood-Growing Sword Technique!"
Emerald green sword energy condensed in mid-air, carrying vibrant life, and pierced towards Wang Ting.
Not to be outdone, he raised the long spear that weighed several hundred pounds.
"Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear!!"
He acquired this spear by chance a few years ago. It contains a trace of the power of heavenly lightning that descended when a cultivator was undergoing tribulation, making it more powerful than ordinary magic weapons!
Others found the Heavenly Thunder mysterious, but Lin Feng had collected a whole bagful when he broke through last time, so he only glanced at it this time and lost interest.
The power of lightning swept out, shattering several sword energies with a clang.
At this moment, below the arena, Shen Xiaohong shook his head.
"Brother Lin, I don't think Wang Ting has much of a chance of winning."
"Not only is his chance of winning slim, he will definitely lose to Li Jingxiao."
Lin Feng casually said, playing with Feng Yushang's long hair.
"Young Master..." Feng Yushang said shyly.
What do you think?
Lin Feng released Xiao Bai from the spirit beast space. Feng Yushang took it into her arms and rubbed it a couple of times, saying, "I think the same as Young Master. Li Jingxiao has the upper hand in terms of aura. The latter is under the pressure of the entire Demon Suppression Sect and can't unleash his full strength at all. On the other hand, Li Jingxiao is in complete control and has brought out the full power of each sword strike."
Little White bared its teeth, looking fierce.
"You little ingrate, have you forgotten how many good things your sister Feng has fed you these past few days?"
Lin Feng smiled and rubbed its head.
Anyway, the battles on the arena aren't very interesting, so it's better to tease the maids and pets; that's more fun.
Shen Xiaohong stared intently at Xiaobai, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Lin, this is..."
"A spirit beast possessing the bloodline of the Devouring God Beast, Brother Xiaohong, would you like to touch it?"
"A divine beast?!" He was startled, then cautiously reached out his hand. "Let me try."
After gently rubbing it a couple of times, Little White immediately spread out its belly.
Shen Xiaohong swallowed hard, a look that made Feng Yushang look at him warily.
"Ah, Miss Wind, I didn't mean anything by it, I just think this spirit beast is quite cute. What's its name?"
"noob."
"Huh?" Shen Xiaohong's eyes widened, and he criticized righteously, "Brother Lin, this is too perfunctory! I think this spirit beast deserves a better name, how about..."
Don't even think about it.
Lin Feng was speechless.
Others wanted to take Xiaobai because they valued his bloodline, but Shen Xiaohong... simply wanted to pet him.
Tsk...
Looking at Shen Xiaohong's regretful face, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something.
"System, this isn't right. Shen Xiaohong is the future God Emperor of the Universe, so why is he just a Chosen One in your eyes? Shouldn't he be the protagonist of destiny?"
If the future Celestial Emperor is merely a chosen one, he finds it hard to imagine what kind of being the destined protagonist of the Celestial God Realm will be.
[Reporting to the host, at the current point in time, the chosen protagonist of the Celestial Realm has only recently been born, and his fate is fraught with hardship. He will only begin to rise to power at the age of several hundred. By then, Shen Xiaohong will have already been the Celestial Emperor for some time.]
According to the normal course of Heaven's will, the destined protagonist of the Celestial God Realm is the sole successor designated by Shen Xiaohong.
I see.
That makes sense.
Lin Feng had no further questions.
On the arena, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
Wang Ting was panting heavily, his body covered in bloodstains left by sword energy. Li Jingxiao also looked somewhat disheveled, his clothes charred black, and a bloody hole blasted into his right arm by lightning.
"That's about it."
A glint of light flashed in Li Jingxiao's eyes.
The scars on his arm were deliberately inflicted on Wang Ting by him. If he had used his full strength, Wang Ting would probably have been defeated long ago. However, since he had previously ascended to the Xuan Yan Martial Ranking, there were too many people secretly watching him. He had to keep his secrets hidden, and he absolutely could not expose his key trump cards.
Now that the delays have been enough, it's time to defeat Wang Ting with a single blow!
A pale green light surged around Li Jingxiao, slowly healing his injuries.
Wang Ting had never practiced similar auxiliary techniques, but he knew that he couldn't let him continue like this at this point.
"Fire Thunder Spear Technique!"
Flames and lightning instantly covered most of the arena, engulfing Li Jingxiao's figure.
"Brother Xiao..."
Shangguan Tingye's expression darkened slightly, and spiritual energy surged in his palm.
She will act immediately if Li Jingxiao can't hold on any longer!
Lin Feng saw all of her actions.
Shangguan Tingye and Bai Xuanqing are completely different. The latter only reluctantly established a superficial relationship with Xiao Han out of respect for his parents, while Shangguan Tingye is genuinely concerned for Li Jingxiao and is willing to tarnish her own and the Shangguan family's reputation for him.
How foolish...
"Buzz!"
Pale green sword energy pierced through the gaps in the flames and lightning, then transformed into countless sword shadows that stabbed towards Wang Ting!
In an instant, the flames and lightning dissipated, leaving only the two people in the center of the arena!
Li Jingxiao gently placed the Qingxuan Sword in his hand against Wang Ting's neck. With just a flick of his wrist, he could immediately take Wang Ting's fragile life.
Damn it!
Lin Feng heard Sect Leader Wang mutter a curse under his breath!
"Impossible! How could I lose to you? I..."
"alright!"
Sect Leader Wang interrupted Wang Ting, saying in a deep voice, "Losing is losing, there's nothing wrong with admitting it. You were simply outmatched. Go back and focus on your training!"
Li Jingxiao sheathed his Qingxuan Sword, but did not step off the arena.
His gaze suddenly pierced Lin Feng.
The crowd around the arena seemed to be deep in thought, their eyes darting between the two with great interest.
Everyone knows that Li Jingxiao finally managed to reach tenth place on the Xuan Yan Martial Ranking and was supposed to go to the Xuan Yan Dynasty to collect the Crimson Blood Crystal, but Lin Feng suddenly appeared and took ninth place, pushing him down the ranking.
If you were to say that Li Jingxiao harbored no hatred at all, probably no one present would believe you.
Could it be that this kid actually wants to challenge Lin Feng?
"I heard that Brother Lin defeated Yuwen Xing, who ranked ninth on the Xuan Yan Martial Ranking. I am truly impressed. Coincidentally, I am also a warlike person. After hearing about Brother Lin's great name, I have been thinking about meeting Brother Lin in person one day. Now that I have this opportunity, I wonder if Brother Lin would be interested in fighting me?"
