Since the Ling Wan just joined the Xuanyin Hall, Xu Heng has always found him displeasing, especially as he was brought back by Xue Ningxiang, which sparked jealousy among them.
Later, when Ling Wan was in danger, Xue Ningxiang appeared several tis to assist, further unsettling Xu Heng and others. What is the relationship between this fellow and the lady? Why does she always protect him?
Only recently, from nurous ssages coming from Extre Yin City, did Xu Heng faintly understand so things.
It turned out that this little pudgy fellow nad Ling Wan had a brother nad Yun Xiao on the Hidden Dragon Continent, and it was precisely Yun Xiao who cured the lady's Innate Pulse Cutting.
This ti, the news of marriage invitations from Xuanyin Hall is not just targeting external forces and sect families but the internal talents of Xuanyin Hall can also join the competition.
As long as one can obtain the Illusion Yin Grass, whether a genius from outside Xuanyin Hall or from within, they can win the beauty, which has excited those Xuanyin Hall talents who were already covetous of Xue Ningxiang.
Upon hearing that Yun Xiao saved the lady, rumors erged that Lady Xue had unusual feelings towards Yun Xiao, even developing affection, causing many Xuanyin Hall geniuses to feel extrely unbalanced.
Though Yun Xiao has not yet arrived at Xuanyin Hall, he has a brother within the headquarters, so Xu Heng brought many talents to flaunt once more, the reason being akin to hating the house and its crow.
However, Xu Heng did not anticipate that Ling Wan, who was at Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage a few days ago, would unexpectedly break through again, reaching Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage cultivation.
With Ling Wan's special Mixed Elent One Qi Body, even if not as powerful in cross-level combat as Yun Xiao in the Origin Seeking Realm, he definitely won't expend much effort dealing with cultivators of the sa level.
Therefore, once the Mixed Elent Qi Body erged, Xu Heng instantly suffered extrely serious internal injuries, feeling chaotic inside, the Xuanyin Hall genius who bullied Ling Wan for more than a year showed a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, though vaguely there was a touch of hidden fear.
It's worth noting that Xu Heng, within this year, rely broke through from Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage to Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage, but this little pudgy fellow nad Ling Wan has impressively advanced from the Qi Seeking Realm Early Stage to the sa level of Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage within such a short ti.
Though seemingly at the sa level, the speed of cultivation is vastly different; Xu Heng knows that from today onwards, the days of bullying this little pudgy are gone forever.
"Does anyone else want to co up here and et their doom?"
Having beaten the guy who bullied him for a year, Ling Wan appeared sowhat excited, as his gaze turned to those Xuanyin Hall geniuses who looked sowhat intimidated. After his low shout, not a single person dared to respond.
"Hmph, an ant from a low-level plane like Hidden Dragon Continent, do you really think Xuanyin Hall has no one?"
Just when Ling Wan, riding on the montum of injuring Xu Heng, stunned the Xuanyin Hall talents into not daring to act rashly, a cold snort suddenly ca from outside the courtyard, causing Xu Heng and many talents to brighten up.
"Senior Brother Zhiheng!"
Because the voice was not unfamiliar to Xu Heng and others, he blurted it out; at such a critical mont, this person's appearance might retrieve the lost face today.
The mont the voice entered the courtyard, a sinister man emitting a cold air walked in slowly, and sensing the aura stronger than his own, Ling Wan's face suddenly darkened.
"What a useless bunch, can't even handle this little beast!"
The cold young man called Senior Brother Zhiheng is nad Chen Zhiheng, his cultivation has reached Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage, ranking among the top five in the younger generation of Xuanyin Hall.
These outstanding young talents of Xuanyin Hall certainly have covetous intentions toward Xue Ningxiang; this opening of Xuanyin Cave and the hall master's arranged marriage offer is undoubtedly their greatest chance.
What Xu Heng overheard, Chen Zhiheng naturally also heard, so naturally, he harbors no goodwill toward Ling Wan due to Yun Xiao.
However, earlier, Chen Zhiheng held his status high and never paid attention to Ling Wan, as long as Xu Heng and his group occasionally bullied him, he was happy to watch.
Yet today, Xu Heng was seriously injured by the little pudgy fellow nad Ling Wan, and Chen Zhiheng, who had been watching outside the courtyard, couldn't stand it anymore. Hearing Ling Wan's arrogant words again, he appeared directly, with no trace of politeness in his tone.
Upon hearing the other person even curse him as a "little beast," Ling Wan had nothing to be polite about, he replied sternly, "Chen Zhiheng, show whatever skill you have, don't hide behind like a turtle!"
It seems Ling Wan has not been without sensing of Chen Zhiheng's lurking outside, having been around Yun Xiao on the Hidden Dragon Continent for a few years, he is no longer the little pudgy who endured bullying in the Zhao Family without daring to resist.
If it were just up to him, Ling Wan might have already left Xuanyin Hall, but he had promised Yun Xiao to wait for his brother there. He knew his brother would certainly co to find him, so he held on in the end.
Everything has two sides. The pressure of the past year led Ling Wan to break through from the Early Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm to the Middle Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm. Besides the special nature of the Mixed Elent One Qi Body, Xu Heng and others' occasional oppression also played a role.
"Ignorant boy, do you really think that once you're in Xuanyin Hall, your brother can still protect you?"
Chen Zhiheng's hatred for Ling Wan almost entirely ca from Yun Xiao, so at this mont, he finally expressed his true feelings. When he finished speaking, he lunged fiercely at Ling Wan.
Whoosh...
Faced with this genius at the Late Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, Ling Wan dared not be careless and imdiately activated his Mixed Elent One Qi Body. His form turned into a round, rolling ball as he confronted Chen Zhiheng's attack.
However, what Ling Wan didn't see was the trace of a sneer that appeared on the face of Xuanyin Hall's genius when he saw this move. A flash of cold light appeared in his right hand as he directly stabbed at Ling Wan's ball-shaped body.
Chen Zhiheng had observed many battles in the courtyard. Although Xu Heng had the upper hand in previous encounters, Ling Wan's attack when transford into a atball still demanded his attention. He developed so counterasures for it.
Chen Zhiheng's ridian Qi Cultivation was originally higher than Ling Wan's, and in his calculated surprise attack, his hand concealed a sharp thin needle. When Ling Wan felt a pinch of pain, it was already too late for him to change his attack.
Poof!
Like the sound of a balloon popping, Ling Wan reverted to his original form instantly, his complexion turning pale. Chen Zhiheng, not giving him a mont to recover, followed with a shadow-like kick to Ling Wan's chest.
The Mixed Elent One Qi Body was most vulnerable to sharp objects. For instance, back on Hidden Dragon Continent, the Flying Flower Empress Ye Luochen's flying needles defeated Ling Wan at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.
It seed that Chen Zhiheng's talent was admirable, as he found the right way to deal with the Mixed Elent One Qi Body, succeeding in one blow. His follow-up kick threw Ling Wan into severe injury, his back hitting the wall beside the room."
"Glorious victory, Brother Zhiheng!"
Having suffered earlier, Xu Heng now saw Ling Wan in an even more miserable state than himself. Despite the turmoil within, he loudly cheered, looking at the chubby boy with schadenfreude.
"In my Xuanyin Hall, whether you are a tiger or a dragon, you must submit. If Yun Xiao dares to co here, I, Chen Zhiheng, will make sure he ends up just like you!"
After severely injuring Ling Wan, Chen Zhiheng was smugly satisfied, unaware that outside the courtyard stood a figure in plain clothing, quietly listening to the happenings within.
"If Brother Yun Xiao were here, he would certainly beat you to a pulp!"
Though Ling Wan's body was in turmoil, he wouldn't lose the argunt, especially when his opponent was ntioning his Brother Yun Xiao, making him resist retreating even an inch.
"You, an ant from the sa Hidden Dragon Continent, were only lucky to cure the Lady's Innate Pulse Cutting. You've forgotten even your own surna, yet you dream of marrying above your station. You should take a look at yourself!"
It's said jealousy makes people irrational. Even though Yun Xiao's fa was widespread, Chen Zhiheng would not admit inferiority. His words were unreservedly harsh.
"You... poof!"
Ling Wan could tolerate personal insults but absolutely couldn't tolerate insults to his Brother Yun Xiao. Enraged, he attempted to stand up and fight Chen Zhiheng to the death.
Unexpectedly, his injury flared, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood, his vitality further declining.
"What? Am I wrong? A country bumpkin, what right do you have to covet our Xuanyin Hall's Lady?"
Seeing Ling Wan's condition, Chen Zhiheng beca even more aggressive. As he said this, he failed to notice a plain-clothed youth had started to walk into the courtyard.
"Is that... am I seeing things?"
Facing the courtyard gate, even from afar, when Ling Wan saw the plain-clothed figure, his gaze froze. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, fearing he was seeing things.
