But from the looks of it now, Lv Yuantian’s piece of junk was about to be smashed for good. This kid was too green; he had no idea what kind of battlefield he was on.
His opponent’s Dawn Sword Technique was fully unleashed. There was no way to dodge this ti.
Suddenly, Wang ng’s eyes widened. He unsheathed Broken Heaven Edge with a roar like a lion.
"KILL~~~~~~~"
BOOM...
It was a flash of light, a light that could blot out the sky and sun!
A single strike that could fell the stars!
What was a re dawn to that!
The Dawn Sword Array was instantly blasted to smithereens. In that split second, Fenglan swept his sword sideways, executing a Defensive Sword Technique.
By then, Wang ng had already sheathed his sword, showing no intention of pursuing the attack.
BOOM...
With a deafening blast, Fenglan was sent flying. His Defensive Sword Array shattered, and he crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
’A second strike? No need. Fucking idiot. With Elental Power at the sa level as mine, who could possibly block the Five Elents Sword???’
The other four deans were all dumbfounded. Even Lv Yuantian was stunned. He could tell that Wang ng’s Elental Power had increased dramatically since his return, which was why he decided to test him. But he never expected such brute force!
Lv Yuantian let out a loud laugh. "Heh heh, my apologies. You’ve lost."
ngg Gu’s face was livid. "Well played, Old Lv. Pretending to be weak to ambush your prey. You actually had an expert like this hidden up your sleeve. Very good, very good!"
"Old ngg, you’re too kind. It was just good luck, nothing more."
Lv Yuantian grinned like an old fox. This was a pleasant surprise, a truly unexpected one.
ngg Gu snorted coldly. With a flash, he vanished, taking Fenglan with him.
The other three glanced at the nonchalant Wang ng with a hint of surprise, but they said nothing more and their figures disappeared.
Lv Yuantian smiled smugly. ’Pleasure is best derived from the frustration of your peers. At my level, such a feeling was hard to co by.’
Wang ng felt his body lighten, as if he had returned to a dark void. Then, with a flash of light, he was back in the dean’s office.
Lv Yuantian was already seated in his chair, beaming as he sized up Wang ng. "You did well today. While I’m in a good mood, feel free to ask for sothing. How about I help you take care of that business with the Demon Refining Faction?"
Wang ng chuckled. "Dean, there’s no need to trouble you with such a small matter. I’ve been at the academy for a long ti now. This disciple would like to return to the Holy Hall to visit so friends."
"Mm, you’re a good kid. Special permission granted. I’ll give you a month’s leave."
Lv Yuantian waved his hand. For soone with his absolute authority, it was a simple matter of a few words. Still, he was a little surprised. He thought Wang ng would ask for sothing else, but instead, he just wanted to go ho and visit.
’Cultivation is a path of no return. Attachnts and emotions are never good things.’ But for so reason, Lv Yuantian felt a sense of ease.
"Thank you, Dean!"
Wang ng didn’t care what benefits Lv Yuantian might have gained. Being granted this special privilege was a great favor in itself, and Wang ng’s gratitude was sincere.
Lv Yuantian could naturally sense it. He smiled and shook his head as he watched Wang ng’s cheerful, bouncing figure. ’What a strange kid. How did soone like him end up on the path of cultivation, and how did he make it this far?’
Glancing at his Star Ring, Lv Yuantian smiled. This was truly a complete victory, a massive win. Most importantly, he had finally vented a long-held frustration.
The Star Alliance administered five great academies that managed all the Small Thousand Realms. Although there were rankings, the difference in strength wasn’t too vast. That was precisely why losing was so frustrating. Starlight Academy had been ranked fifth—dead last—for a long ti, and Lv Yuantian had been holding in his exasperation.
Wang ng’s last strike was remarkable. His Sword Qi was powerful, clearly the result of pushing his Five Elents Attribute to the absolute limit. Though it wasn’t a flashy Sword Array, he had forcibly created an opening in the flawless Dawn Sword Technique.
When there is no opening, create one. Bait the opponent into using their strongest Sword Formulas, then shatter them in a single blow. It was a do-or-die tactic. This style of attack was only used by a few battle-hardened Cultivators with imnse self-confidence, or by masters like themselves when guiding their juniors.
It had to be said that while Lv Yuantian had chosen Wang ng partly for his strength, no one knew how he would perform in actual combat. A particular quality about Wang ng had moved Lv Yuantian, and the result had been unexpectedly effective.
But what not even Lv Yuantian noticed was that Wang ng felt nothing after winning such an important battle.
Back in his own quarters, Wang ng couldn’t contain his joy. ’A battle like that? I could fight a hundred of them, no problem. Once I deal with the Demon Refining Faction, I can go back to the Holy Hall.’
Gathering his Heart Spirit, Wang ng imrsed himself in his Sea of Heart and began to spar with Moo Shan.
Flashy Sword Formulas had captivated Wang ng for a ti, but recently, with the completion of the third stage of his Five Elents Technique, he had returned to honing his basic Sword Technique, seeking to achieve Five Elents Balance and unleash maximum killing power.
Here, there were no fancy moves. His duels with Moo Shan consisted of one strike after another. He might execute ten thousand identical strikes, yet Wang ng remained tireless, as if he was on the verge of grasping sothing.
The Moo Shan manifested by his Godhood would never tire of Wang ng’s antics and was always perfectly precise.
How could soone who constantly trained against such a powerful opponent be complacent over a victory against soone of Fenglan’s level?
AARGH~~~
With a blood-curdling scream, Wang ng was instantly defeated and thrown out again.
’In terms of killing intent? Who could compare to Wangtian? His Demonic Qi could blot out the heavens!’
Wang ng had grown numb to this sort of thing.
Sotis, when he felt too repressed, Wang ng would summon Wangtian and just rant at him. The Godhood-manifestation wouldn’t fight back, only stare back with a blank expression. Afterward, feeling much better, Wang ng could drift off to a peaceful sleep.
「The day Luo Xian had longed for finally arrived.」 He led the mbers of the Demon Refining Faction to the Hundred Battles Pavilion in a grand, imposing procession.
Wang ng and the people from the Little Holy Hall had also arrived. The disparity in their forces was truly imnse. Luo Xian sneered as he sized up Wang ng. He had been accumulating his hatred day after day, and today, he would kill with even greater relish.
Luo Xian studied Wang ng intently, as if he could kill him with his gaze alone.
Little Fla stood at the very front of their group, puffing out its belly. It could feel the hostility from the crowd across from them. Not to be outdone, it clenched its fists, the fla on its head shooting straight up. When it ca to a fight, montum was key—even Little Fla understood that.
Ma Tian’Er pulled the ferocious Little Fla back. "Be good now, don’t move around."
The usually mischievous Little Fla seed to have been completely won over by Ma Tian’Er. It nodded obediently but continued to glare at the people from the Demon Refining Faction.
"Wang ng, if you have any last words, you’d better say them now."
A smile appeared on Luo Xian’s face, but it was a smile filled with viciousness and killing intent.
Wang ng’s smile was even brighter. It was his and Zhang Xiaopang’s motto: you had to smile brighter and laugh louder than your enemy.
"You’ll be reunited with your dead little brother soon enough. You two can chat all you want when you get there."
Wang ng’s words instantly ignited all of Luo Xian’s fury. If they weren’t in the Hundred Battles Pavilion, he would have attacked on the spot.
The Hundred Battles Pavilion Steward glanced impassively at Wang ng. ’This kid is a real troublemaker. The Hundred Battles Pavilion is already a place full of incidents, but it’s rare to see a kid at his level being so brazen.’
"Draw for the duel’s location."
Neither Wang ng nor Luo Xian had any objections regarding the location. With his Five Elents Body, Wang ng could fight anywhere, while Luo Xian was confident that destroying a minor figure like Wang ng would be more than easy enough.
"The Fire God Little Thousand World!" the Hundred Battles Pavilion Steward announced coolly.
Upon hearing the location, Little Fla waved its chubby hands and danced with joy. Wang ng beckoned, and Little Fla hopped onto his shoulder.
Luo Xian sneered. "Let’s begin."
The two entered the Teleportation Array. It was rumored that Luo Xian’s Life Mark was above the forty-fifth layer. To beco the leader of a faction, one’s personal ranking in the Cultivation Academy also had to be in the top twenty. In comparison, Wang ng was a true nobody. This was completely different from soone like Qi Feiyu, who was unranked but still had a Life Mark in the forties.
’The Fire God Little Thousand World.’ Wang ng felt he was quite fated with this place. He was back again after such a short ti. Moreover, his breakthroughs in the Five Elents Technique had almost all started from the Five Elents Fla. No matter how you looked at it, this was a good on.
Luo Xian was, of course, familiar with the Fire God Little Thousand World, but he also had the fire attribute among his Five Elents, so he was not afraid.
A flash of light, and the two appeared in the Fire God Little Thousand World. Wang ng and Little Fla couldn’t be more familiar with this place.
Luo Xian imdiately placed a Heart Spirit Lock on Wang ng to prevent the kid from running away. Seeing that Wang ng had no intention of fleeing, Luo Xian truly couldn’t figure out where this guy got his audacity.
Now on its ho turf, Little Fla beca extrely arrogant, waving its fists at Luo Xian.
’Like master, like... whatever he is. Even his pet is this arrogant.’
In a life-and-death duel like this, one could use any ans necessary. Magical Artifacts, Spirit Beasts, covert tricks, overt moves—nothing was off-limits.
Luo Xian cast a Spirit Beast Talisman. With a roar, a massive Spirit Beast erged. It was over three ters tall—a Rock Beast!
A Primordial Descendant. It possessed formidable defenses, highly resistant to both physical attacks and Magic. It couldn’t use Magic itself, but its physical attacks were ferocious.
Pairing himself with such a Spirit Beast was ant to compensate for his own shortcomings in physical offense and defense. As for Magic, Luo Xian was quite confident—his personal rank in the Cultivation Academy was nineteenth!!!
"Kid, I’m going to make you die a very, very miserable death!"
Luo Xian shot into the air, and in an instant, streams of Fire Talismans surged madly in all directions. A massive array enveloped Wang ng and Little Fla, while the Rock Beast stared with its giant, blood-red eyes.
At the sa ti, Luo Xian’s Magic also fell upon the Rock Beast. A Talisman Cultivator could use Magic to enhance the combat power of their Spirit Beast.
Stimulated, the Rock Beast’s body visibly grew a size larger. The fangs at the corners of its mouth sharpened and elongated as it roared and charged toward Wang ng.
Little Fla waved its fists and charged forward on its own before Wang ng could even make a move.
’On its own turf, how could Little Fla possibly back down?’
The Rock Beast was slightly taken aback. This Little One actually dared to fight back? Despite its massive size, the Rock Beast’s reactions were anything but slow. Its right claw flicked out like Lightning, and Little Fla, unable to dodge in ti, was struck head-on.
POW...
It was sent flying like a rubber ball. BOOM! It slamd into the array and was bounced back.
