Chapter 112: The Fragrant War (Part 2)

  The third watch.

  Xuān Tiān was a man in two lifetimes. In his previous life, although he didn't live to be twenty years old, he had already experienced the taste of women and wasn't a novice. His courage was greater than that of ordinary men. If it were an average man who knew he was being squeezed by Bái Líng, he wouldn't dare squeeze again, and would probably withdraw his hand in a hurry.

  "You...you!" Bai Ling was almost in tears, saying: "I swear, I won't bother you again, absolutely won't bother you, let me go quickly."

  Everyone else said so, and if they continued to play around, it would really be beastly. Although he was very interested in the girl's flexible body, Xuan Tian immediately let go of the two full pairs and stood up as soon as his body was upright.

  Bai Ling stood up, her legs tightly closed together, her hands clasped over the twin peaks that had just been fondled, and gazed at Xuan Tian with a resentful expression, saying: "You... you scoundrel, you're a bad egg!"

  Having said that, he turned around and ran away.

  Xuān Tiān watched as the white background of the girl disappeared at the end of his line of sight, helplessly shrugged his shoulders, raised both hands, pinched the air twice, savoring the feeling from just now, it seemed to have a lot of elasticity, and felt extremely good.

  Returning to the courtyard, after a while, Xuan Tian's fiery energy gradually dissipated, and he continued to practice 'Ghost Shadow Soul Step'.

  As the sky brightened and the red sun rose, another voice came from outside: "Cai Yuxin, ranked 46 in the second tier, Huang Tian, I'm going to challenge you again today!"

  Excluding Bai Ling, on the second day, the first inner disciple to challenge Xuan Tian arrived.

  Yesterday, I was defeated by a disciple under Xuantian, not because I had any flaws. It's just that under Xuantian's swift sword, I couldn't dodge in time. In short, the strength displayed by Xuantian is not stronger than theirs, but can always win over them.

  So today some of his disgruntled disciples still want to continue challenging him.

  Outside 'Huang Tian Ge', apart from Cai Yu Xin, several disciples who came to watch the excitement had also arrived.

  "Ah! The gate opened, and Xuan Tian walked out from the 'Huang Tian Pavilion'. Looking at Cai Yu Xin, he smiled slightly: "Cai Yu Xin, welcome to continue the challenge. The loser will receive a low-grade True Qi Dan."

  ……

  Xuantian and Cai Yunxin's challenge. Nature and yesterday, nothing has changed much, everything is under Xuantian's control.

  Apart from Cai Yu Xin, who was defeated by Xuan Tian yesterday and is ranked second among the top fifty disciples of the second grade, at least fifteen people re-challenged Xuan Tian and were all defeated one by one. The inner door disciples watching the battle couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  It's just a matter of defeating an opponent once when the strength is almost the same. Luck plays a big role, if you win twice in a row. That means that although it seems like the two people have similar strengths, there is actually a certain gap in their actual combat power. After all, there are many factors that affect combat power, and strength is not the only one.

  Another consecutive victory, Xuan Tian's image in the hearts of the inner door disciples is getting higher and more majestic.

  When 22nd-ranked Li Mingxing lost to Xuan Tian once again, the higher-ranked First Heaven Realm Second Disciple also issued a challenge to Xuan Tian.

  Second tier, ranked 19th... ranked 15th... ranked 11th... ranked 8th... ranked 4th...

  Challenging Xuan Tian's Pre-Heaven Realm Second Disciple, ranking one higher than the other, strength one stronger than the other.

  However, the result was not much different, at most thirty moves, these disciples were all defeated by Xuan Tian and presented him with a 'Low-grade True Qi Pill'.

  "How strong is he exactly?"

  "Chu Shixiong was defeated by the first-grade Tianyuan disciple of the First Tier at the time of his first refinement in the Pre-Heaven Realm, and now Huang Tian Shixiong has already defeated the fourth grade. It seems that he still hasn't used his full strength. I wonder if he can defeat the first grade like Chu Shixiong?"

  "The first is Bai Ling Shijie, I heard that her speed is very fast, even the seniors of the first tier can't defeat her, she's really powerful!"

  ……

  Deng Xuan Tian won the second stage of the ranking, fourth among the disciples. The inner door disciples who were watching the battle were extremely shocked and had already put him on the same level as Chu Feng in their comments.

  "Everyone, I've fought 23 matches this morning. Let me catch my breath for a moment!" With that, Xuan Tian put away the 'Low-Grade True Qi Pill' he had won and cupped his fists in greeting to the inner sect disciples.

  Then, he sat down on a stone slab beside him and began to regulate his breath.

  The process of fighting was not intense, with Xuan Tian's innate true energy being so thick that even if he fought a hundred battles in a row, his internal energy would not be depleted. After every twenty or more battles, he would take a break to meditate and rest, which also served to conceal his actions from others while allowing him to reflect on the insights gained from battle.

  "Go away!"

  "Brother Jiang is here, everybody make way!"

  "Give way to Master Jiang!"

  ……

  Just as Xuan Tian sat down to adjust his breath for less than two minutes, a sudden burst of noise came from behind the inner door disciples.

  At this moment, outside the Huang Tian Pavilion on the Absolute Sword Peak, more than 200 inner disciples were crowded on both sides of the main road or on the trees beside it.

  The road was basically blocked, and the gaps in between were not enough for one person to pass through.

  However, the voices from behind rose up in unison, and it seemed that "Brother Jiang" was quite influential, as all of the inner sect disciples retreated to both sides of the road, clearing a path about one meter wide.

  A handsome young man of about nineteen years old, with a long sword hanging from his waist and holding a paper fan painted with a beautiful woman's picture, swaying back and forth, walked through the passage given up by his younger brother, towards Xuan Tian.

  Behind the handsome young man, there were five others, aged between 18 and 20 years old. Each of them had an impressive aura and their cultivation was not weak at all. However, compared to that handsome youth, they were far inferior.

  A few people walked together, like a group of stars surrounding the moon. The five people behind were naturally the stars surrounding the moon, and the handsome young man was naturally the moon surrounded by the stars.

  The eyes of all the disciples in the hall fell on the young man's body, with reverence.

  Jiang Haoyu, Pre-Heaven Realm Third Stage Late Stage Cultivation, Inner Disciple of Tianjian Sect, Ranked Ninth, One of the Top Ten Inner Disciples.

  The five people following Jiang Huaiyu were all at the Second Heaven of the Innate Realm, with three of them ranking in the top ten of the second tier. One of them, who was closely following Jiang Huaiyu, was even younger than him, about seventeen years old, slender and slightly tall.

  His reputation, although not as great as Jiang Huaye, one of the top ten inner disciples, was still renowned. His name was Ji Dongcheng, and he was the first among the second-grade disciples of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, ranking thirty-eighth in the first tier, even surpassing several third-grade disciples of the Pre-Heavenly Realm.

  There were two more people with the weakest momentum, who were Yang Wei and Si Shun Cang.

  Jiang Haoyu, Ji Dongcheng, one is one of the top ten inner door disciples, and the other is the first person in the second heavy Xiantian realm. The arrival of the two, the inner door disciples are both surprised and revered, as well as excited and stirred.

  Among the outer disciples, those who have reached the tenth level of martial arts are as elusive as a dragon that appears only in glimpses. Even among the inner disciples, the top-ranked students of the first tier are rarely seen, especially the top ten inner disciples, most of whom are known by name but not by face.

  "Brother Jiang is here? He's one of the top ten inner disciples, isn't he? Even if Brother Huang Tian is formidable, it wouldn't be worth his while to make a move?"

  "I heard that Huang Tian Shixiong had a conflict with Chu Feng Shixiong when he was in the outer sect, and both Jiang Shixiong and Ji Shixiong are people of Chu Feng Shixiong."

  "Hmm, when Huang Tian Shixiong first entered the inner sect, he had a fight with Yang Wei and Si Shun Cang. Those two are just following behind Ji Shixiong to get by."

  "Yesterday, Master Ji hadn't returned yet, it seems he just got back to the sect today."

  "Jiang Shixiong might have returned to the sect with Ji Shixiong and came here along the way!"

  ……

  ……

  However, many of the onlookers were second-level disciples of the Innate Realm, and most of them naturally recognized him. They whispered to each other in private, and Jiang Huaiyu's identity quickly spread.

  Jiang Haoyu, Ji Dongcheng and others walked to the forefront of the inner disciples, about thirty meters away from Xuantian, and stopped.

  Xuántiān's ears were extremely sharp, and the six people who came, as well as the inner door disciples' private whispers, all fell into his ears. Before he even opened his eyes, he already knew the identity of the arrivals.

  "One of the top ten inner disciples, one of the first two Tianjing disciples, all are Chu Feng's people. Originally, I could have won a lot of 'Low-grade True Qi Pills' slowly today, but now it seems there is no hope." Xuan Tian thought to himself.

  Xuantian had yet to open his eyes, still meditating with his eyes closed.

  Ji Dongcheng, who was slightly tall and lean, took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Huang Tian, my junior brother, I am Ji Dongcheng, first tier, ranked 38th, challenging you!"

  "What? Brother Ji is actually challenging Huang Tian?"

  "Is something wrong? Shi Xiu Cheng, the second-ranked master of the second tier, is here, yet he doesn't challenge. Ji brother has actually lowered his status to challenge Huang Tian?"

  "Brother Ji is a top-notch expert of the first echelon, the number one disciple of the Second Heaven Realm! Brother Chu Feng was defeated by him even when he was in the First Heaven Realm. How could Huang Tian possibly be a match for Brother Ji?"

  "Perhaps it's because of Chu Shixiong..."

  ……

  The disciples of the inner sect began to discuss in a low voice, their voices were small, but they were extremely shocked.

  Xuān Tiān opened his eyes, stood up, and smiled slightly, saying: "Welcome to the challenge, the loser will give a 'Low-grade True Qi Pill'."

  Xuantian's response was so straightforward that it left Jidong City somewhat surprised, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment before chuckling and saying: "Huangtianshi, one 'Low-grade True Qi Pill' is too little, you're underestimating Shixiong's status, what's the meaning of just one pill?"

  "Oh——!"

  His eyes gleamed with a sudden brightness, the corners of his mouth curled up in a comfortable arc, and he said, "So, how many are considered good?"

  Xuantian was depressed in his heart, having been defeated by Jidong City. As a second-level disciple of the Pre-Heaven Realm, no one dared to challenge him anymore, and he had no way to win more "Low-grade True Qi Pills". Unexpectedly, Jidong City actually thought that betting one "Low-grade True Qi Pill" was too little and wanted to raise the stakes. Xuantian felt even more uncomfortable.

  Ji Dongcheng knew that Xuan Tian had won a lot of 'Low-grade True Qi Pills', and he wanted to defeat Xuan Tian, but also wanted to take more things from Xuan Tian, wanting to deal a double blow to Xuan Tian.

  "Thirty pellets!" Ji Dongcheng said.
