Seeing Xia An’an wearing a pure white long dress, with that alluring figure beneath and her shy deanor, Xu Wendong imdiately felt his mouth go dry and his heart race.
If he said he had no thoughts about Xia An’an, he would surely be struck by lightning.
After all, Xia An’an’s figure and looks were no less than Bai Jie’s.
Each woman had her own rits, especially in terms of temperant.
If Bai Jie was mature and charming, pure yet seductive.
Then Xia An’an was the epito of innocence and cuteness, with a hint of clumsiness.
Both types are srizing.
But Xu Wendong dared not harbor any unruly thoughts about Xia An’an.
She was the Sect Leader’s daughter!
If he made her upset or let her down.
How could the Sect Leader possibly let him off the hook?
So.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and said irritably, "I have no interest in little stead buns, hmm, I like won with big chests!"
Xia An’an looked down at her own chest, tears of humiliation rolling down her cheeks: "Xu Wendong, I hate you!"
"What a sin!"
Watching Xia An’an disappear into the Erald Bamboo Forest, Xu Wendong sighed helplessly.
Actually, smaller is also pretty good.
After all, they fit perfectly in one hand.
But who made Xia An’an have a father who is the Sect Leader?
Facing her, he really didn’t dare to ss around with her!
After Xia An’an left, Xu Wendong returned to the bamboo house, sat cross-legged, and began his cultivation.
Over the past month, he consud at least five hundred Foundation Establishnt Pills, expecting to break through.
However, his cultivation level was stuck at the sixth level of Foundation Establishnt, unable to break through.
Nevertheless.
For tomorrow’s battle, he wasn’t worried at all.
Because the outco had long been determined.
------
The next day.
Xia An’an did not co to the Erald Bamboo Forest for breakfast.
Even though she had paid Xu Wendong the living expense, she was nowhere to be seen.
It was evident.
Xu Wendong’s words yesterday, about not liking little stead buns, had hurt the girl’s self-esteem.
"Do not underestimate today’s battle." Wuming quietly ate his breakfast: "Even if you are an alchemical prodigy unprecedented in the Elixir Sect, even if many people don’t want you to get hurt."
"But the human heart is deeper than the sea!"
Xu Wendong nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, master, your disciple will give it his all."
Wuming gave a hum in reply without saying more.
After breakfast, Xu Wendong left the Erald Bamboo Forest and leisurely strolled over to the Elixir Sect Grand Hall, where there was a spacious training ground.
And a stage as large as a football field.
By then, it was already crowded with disciples of the Elixir Sect, all with looks of eager anticipation.
When Xu Wendong appeared.
The scene erupted with waves of cheering.
Even though Xu Wendong had joined the Elixir Sect less than two months ago, he was already a household na, becoming the most dazzling star of the Elixir Sect.
Not to ntion other things, just the fact that he could refine a Supre Foundation Building Pill was sothing to look up to.
However.
Many privately speculated that he shouldn’t have accepted Yang Fan’s challenge.
While Yang Fan might not match Xu Wendong’s alchemical skill, he was a strong Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivator, a heavenly pride among the younger generation of the Elixir Sect.
If it was a contest of alchemy, Yang Fan would definitely lose to Xu Wendong.
But when it cos to a contest of strength...
How could Xu Wendong possibly defeat him?
"Is that Junior Brother Xu? He looks so young!"
"Not only young, but also very handso." So female disciples whispered amongst themselves, even though Xu Wendong was riding high lately, many hadn’t seen him, and upon first sight, felt astonished by his looks.
"Junior Brother Xu is remarkably handso, elegant and poised, and as stable as a mountain; I feel he will definitely defeat Senior Brother Yang today."
"Yes, yes, Junior Brother Xu being able to refine a Supre Foundation Building Pill at such a young age shows he is no ordinary person, at least he isn’t a fool."
"Since he’s not a fool, why dare accept Senior Brother Yang’s challenge? I think he must have so reliance, surely he’ll defeat Senior Brother Yang."
"Junior Brother Xu must win!"
Most of the female disciples cheered for Xu Wendong.
Fortunately, Yang Fan hadn’t arrived yet; otherwise, he’d be enraged to the point of coughing up blood hearing this.
Because before Xu Wendong appeared, he was recognized as the prince charming in the hearts of all female disciples, who all had infatuated looks when they saw him.
But now.
After Xu Wendong appeared, they all took a liking to him.
Handso, and can refine Supre Foundation Building Pills.
Who wouldn’t like soone like that?
Listening to the discussions among several female disciples, a few male disciples showed helpless expressions.
What they said wasn’t unreasonable.
But their perspective was too one-dinsional.
This matter was not as simple as it looked on the surface.
The reason Xu Wendong dared to face the challenge was not just because he possessed extraordinary courage and strength, but because he had calculated that he definitely wouldn’t lose today.
Yes.
The stage duel would either end in severe injury or death.
As the most stunning alchemy genius of the Elixir Sect, the sect would surely not want him to suffer any mishap.
So, today’s battle seed to have an inevitable outco.
But the final result would surely surprise everyone.
Because today, Xu Wendong was destined to rise to prominence by stepping over Yang Fan.
"Senior Brother Yang is here!"
Amidst an excited voice.
Yang Fan appeared before everyone, wearing a black robe, one hand behind his back, expressionless.
His gaze was aloof, giving off an aura of being above all else.
Cold and proud.
This was Yang Fan’s persona in the Elixir Sect.
On the other hand, Xu Wendong.
Had a gentle smile on his face, nodding in acknowledgnt when greeting anyone, exuding an approachable and friendly vibe.
Like a boy next door, endearing to all.
When both parties reached the stage.
The atmosphere on site beca much more intense, as if the sll of gunpowder filled the air.
At the sa ti.
Xia An’an, along with her father Xia Hou and several elders from the sect, also appeared in the stands.
In fact, stage duels were seldom held in the Elixir Sect, as the sect forbade internal strife, and unless there was deep enmity, no one would usually resolve disputes here.
Even if disputes were settled on the stage before, they did not attract attention from the Elixir Sect’s top brass.
But today was different.
Today’s opponents were a once-in-a-millennium alchemy prodigy of the Elixir Sect and the Sect Leader’s inner chamber disciple.
Both were figures of attention.
Similarly, any mishap to either would be a loss to the Elixir Sect.
That the Elixir Sect’s high-ups ca to watch made perfect sense.
Xia Hou glanced at Xu Wendong; it was his first ti seeing him and he was quite pleased with the young man, flashing a look of expectant approval.
Then he turned his eyes towards his proud disciple, Yang Fan, giving him an encouraging nod, before his booming voice resonated through the heavens: "Both of you are the heavenly pride of our Elixir Sect. Any harm to either of you is a loss to our sect."
"Since today’s battle is unavoidable, let it be a light one, avoid dealing lethal blows."
He pinched the spell with one hand, activating the array around the stage, forming a transparent light screen enveloping Xu Wendong and Yang Fan inside: "Now I announce, the match begins!"
