The next morning, Xia Liu stretched languidly before washing up and stepping out of the house. On the table, five white bottles and a letter lay. He had left them for Ouyang Lingtian, hoping that when they met again, both would still be well. A duel on the arena was an exhilarating event for Spearhead and Heaven Slaying. Because it allowed them to truly feel the combat. Martial Artist versus Martial Artist! The fights between Martial Artists were not only spectacular but also allowed the audience to explore and discover opportunities. For instance, when Mysterious Rank Warriors fought, Yellow-Rank Martial Artists would be extremely excited. This allowed them to observe all the movements of Mysterious Rank Warriors, and perhaps, they might inadvertently catch a glimpse of a breakthrough opportunity. The arena was set up on the edge of the base near the mountains, surrounded by stone platforms and stone seats. Except for the Heaven Slaying members who were away on missions, everyone at the base had come to the arena. Even the lady who washed vegetables was very interested in the arena duels. Since no tables and chairs had been provided for the audience, they all sat on the ground, except for those at the King of Soldiers Level. Ouyang Xiong and Fang Huasheng were in a tower slightly above the angle of the arena, a position that allowed them to overlook the entire arena. Next to Ouyang Xiong sat a middle-aged man. It wasn't quite appropriate to call him middle-aged since his hair was completely white. His facial features and physique were almost those of an elderly person. He was none other than the Sect Leader of Taiji Sect branch in Liu Hai: Tianjue! Next to Tianjue sat his Chief Disciple, Qingjie. Ouyang Lingtian seemed not yet to have arrived. "Old friend, when that kid goes on stage, just kill him, and I'll take care of everything," said Ouyang Xiong sternly to Fang Huasheng while waiting for the combat to start. "Dear friend, you are upset. Death is but a moment away. If disputes can be resolved without violence, that would certainly be the best approach," responded Tianjue, knowing Ouyang Xiong's temperament and not taking his words too seriously. "I wish I could, but now it's not just me who's been insulted, my friend, you've been disrespected as well." "Hmm? The person you're talking about shouldn't know me; how could he?" asked Tianjue, puzzled. "Little Zhao, explain." "Yes!" After being named, the guard who had connected Xia Liu with Ouyang Lingtian began recounting the events of that day. "Hmm? Lingtian actually sided with him too?" After listening to the guard's clarification, Tianjue became even more perplexed. Ouyang Lingtian was his Closed-door Disciple who had made significant progress, having advanced to High-Rank Mysterious in just ten years. Given a bit more time, he would certainly reach the Peak of Mysterious Rank or even ascend to Earth Rank. Yet such a high-ranking disciple was putting considerable faith in a young man in his mid-twenties, which was certainly no coincidence. "It seems Lingtian has also been beguiled by that young man and has even become his friend. Now, Lingtian has been so misled that he dares to disregard you as his Honored Master," Ouyang Xiong continued to stoke the fire. As long as Tianjue was angered, how could Xia Liu not perish? "Let's see how it goes. I trust Lingtian's judgment, and I am quite looking forward to this young man's performance," Tianjue said with a faint smile, narrowing his eyes. For a practitioner of his caliber, anger was the utmost folly. This was a realization he had come to align with the Taiji Sect's deep and mysterious Yin Yang cultivation technique. As for other warriors, he had no idea. Taiji Sect's cultivation technique combined Yin and Yang, making it profoundly intricate; thus, Tianjue also wished to avoid much contact with the secular world. Seeing Tianjue remain calm, Fang Huasheng breathed a sigh of relief. He only hoped that Xia Liu would keep a low profile, leaving Ouyang Xiong with no way to touch him. The crowd had been squatting on the ground for a long time, yet no one had come out to start the fight, which only added to the excitement of the competitors. Every year, both sides of the competition would send out ten people, but now both sides only had nine. The last person not yet arrived was definitely their trump card! The members of Heaven Slaying looked at each other; they realized only Ouyang Lingtian had not shown up yet. If Ouyang Lingtian were the last one on the Heaven Slaying team to appear, then Spearhead was doomed. As for Spearhead, they were clueless. Even Pan Jiang and his team members from Spearhead didn't understand. They all knew Xia Liu was the ultimate weapon, but he still hadn't shown up; what was the plan? Although they despised Xia Liu, both Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang hoped he would appear quickly. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire Only then could they display their true strength as martial artists in front of him! They would then witness Xia Liu's pathetic moves; the enjoyment of such humiliation was immeasurable. "Buddy, that kid is coming!" Sitting atop the tower, Ouyang Xiong saw Xia Liu strolling leisurely from a distance, his teeth clenching unconsciously. "Is it him? Qingjie, how do you feel?" Tianjue watched for a while, then asked his chief disciple to give his opinion. "He's very young, his steps casual, seemingly frivolous. His pupils are deep yet luminous, he seems like a man with a story." … "You are still too young. This young man's steps are casual because he is extremely confident in handling any sudden situations. His pupils shine like the stars, either he's born with wisdom eyes, or his cultivation is profound!" Huh? When Tianjue mentioned that Xia Liu's cultivation was profound, Qingjie and the others on the tower were all stunned. Fang Huasheng wasn't very emotional, If Xia Liu's cultivation wasn't profound, could he have blocked two torpedoes without a scratch? Could he have easily shattered a tank? Could he have obtained the antidote from the Liusheng family in the Island Nation? "Master, I can't sense his aura." Qingjie said bitterly. "That's because he's hidden it very deeply. If I hadn't advanced to Earth Rank, I probably wouldn't be able to sense his energy either." Tianjue became extremely interested in Xia Liu, especially in his method of hiding his aura. To be almost undetectable even by an Earth-Rank Warrior, either his cultivation is higher than mine or he possesses a formidable method of concealment. Tianjue chose to believe in the latter, given that Xia Liu was too young. How could his cultivation possibly be higher than his own. "Look! It's Xia Liu!" A member of Spearhead noticed Xia Liu approaching and couldn't help exclaiming in surprise. "Good that he's here, we'll definitely make him tremble!" "Tch, I can already imagine him kneeling on one knee begging us to teach him martial arts." Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang began to fantasize. "You two better watch yourselves. Xia Liu is no simple character." Pan Jiang didn't want to say more to these two; once this competition on the stage ended, they would naturally regret their words. "Spearhead's final team member seems to be an ordinary person?" "What seems, he is just an ordinary person, alright." "That's kind of horrifying, actually letting an ordinary person participate in the competition…" Upon seeing Xia Liu, the Heaven Slaying people were deeply moved. "Brother Xia Liu, come sit here." Seeing Xia Liu approaching, Pan Jiang immediately waved him over. "How is it going, has the competition started yet?" Seeing the empty stage, Xia Liu asked quizzically. "Next, the match between Heaven Slaying and Spearhead officially begins!" Before Pan Jiang could respond, the referee suddenly jumped onto the stage and announced loudly.
