The elders immediately handed over the data of the students participating in the competition after She Xongjan received the complete list of all participants. In a loud voice, She Xongjan invited the participants to enter the Martial Arts Arena."Everyone, gather first," She Xongjan ordered his voice echoing powerfully and reaching everyone in the spectator stands.Xiao Tian and Daniel immediately entered the Martial Arts Arena to gather, with Daniel continuously observing his potential opponents. Only Xiao Tian remained calm and unaffected by the surrounding crowd.When all the participants were in the arena, the elders from Yunlang Valley, Qiantu Sect, and Black Lotus Sect started to appear restless. "Where is Hujian? The event has started, but he hasn't shown up yet," they murmured anxiously. They seemed panicked because the most talented student from their sect hadn't arrived.Meanwhile, Shunyuan kept a sharp eye on Xiao Tian and Daniel. Internally, he cursed, “Damn, those two bra
She Xongjan announced the next match. “Next up, number 14,” he said with a thunderous voice. Xiao Tian sat calmly, his eyes observing the ongoing battles in front of him. However, his expression reflected boredom. Match after match passed without anything catching his interest.Finally, She Xongjan's voice resounded in the air again. “Number 13, please enter the Martial Arts Arena!”Whoosh—Whoosh—Two figures immediately darted into the centre of the arena. She Xongjan continued, “Ling Faizhe from the Ling Kingdom versus Shaiming from the Endless Valley.”Without hesitation, Shaiming drew his weapon—a silver spear that gleamed sharply under the sun.Buzz—Instantly, Shaiming’s domain became apparent. He, like Ling Faizhe, was a third-ranked Earth King warrior. Ling Faizhe merely snorted coldly as he sensed his opponent's aura. “If you think you’re capable, come forward! There’s no need to show off your strength in front of me,” he said in a mocking tone.Shaming smirked disdainfully,
Peizhi raised his sword and shouted, "DANCE OF A HUNDRED SWORDS!"A powerful surge of sword energy erupted like a whirlpool, flowing into Peizhi's body. Xiao Tian immediately recognized this technique; it was one that Xing Han had displayed when facing him in the Supreme Sword Sect.Xiao Tian had to admit that Peizhi's technique this time was far stronger than the one Xing Han had shown. However, thanks to his previous experience, Xiao Tian had thoroughly studied this technique and knew its weaknesses.Peizhi glared sharply at Xiao Tian. "Tian, why haven't you drawn your sword yet? Are the two swords on your back just for decoration?"Xiao Tian gave a small smile. "To face you, I don’t need a sword. My bare hands are more than enough!"Peizhi felt his blood boil, the veins on his forehead bulging with uncontrollable anger. "Arrogant! Don’t blame me if I become ruthless!" he shouted at Xiao Tian, who merely responded with a mocking grin.Peizhi didn’t wait any longer; the energy within
Xiao Tian had proven his abilities beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, admiring gazes were directed at him, especially from the women of the Misty Cloud Sect.Shouxue, Yi Min, and Ershita'er—who usually wore expressions as cold as ice—watched Xiao Tian from a distance.Shouxue whispered to Ershita'er, "Sister, you keep staring at him. Could it be that you’re interested in him?""Sister, don't joke around. Even though he’s strong, he’s still a child, only ten years old. Besides, I’m not interested in thinking about men at my age right now. I must focus on becoming stronger so that our Sect can be more respected, not only in the She Dynasty but across the Continent!" Ershita'er said, turning her face away, no longer looking at Xiao Tian from afar.Yi Min, who stood between them, simply shook her head at Shouxue's behaviour. However, she added, "Sister Shouxue, I feel that the boy named Tian shouldn’t be underestimated. During the previous match, I didn’t see him use any combat techniqu
After Xing Han conceded and She Xongjan announced the winner, Daniel turned around and began walking away from the Martial Arena.However, before leaving entirely, Daniel paused for a moment and coldly said, "Xing Han, you should be grateful that you only lost one hand. If I hadn't shown mercy, your life could have ended here. So remember, you should thank me for being alive. But I warn you, if you're not satisfied with this outcome, you can challenge me anytime. I'll fight you until your last breath!"Without waiting for Xing Han's response, Daniel leapt and returned to his seat beside Xiao Tian. All eyes in the Spectator Stands were now on the two disciples of the Supreme Sword Sect. No one expected a third-tier sect to win the battle so impressively. The most humiliated in this competition was the Boundless Valley, as they lost three of their representatives on the very first day.She Xongjan, who was hovering in the air, looked around the arena and at everyone present. "Today's ma
"Damn, this heirloom weapon is quite formidable," Xiao Tian thought as he continued to fight with full concentration. "He’s gaining additional power from his weapon. I can't keep this up. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before I lose!"Assessing the situation, Xiao Tian realized he had no other choice. With firm resolve, he drew his mysterious rusted sword. However, something strange happened. Unlike before, the sword no longer gave him the usual cold sensation. Instead, the sword now radiated energy into his body, boosting Xiao Tian’s combat abilities to an extraordinary level.As the masked man swung his trident with full force, Xiao Tian leapt high, using the trident as a springboard to jump even higher. In an instant, he launched his ultimate attack."HUNDRED SWORD DANCE!" Xiao Tian's body suddenly split into a hundred figures, similar to a technique once used by Peizhi. However, there was a significant difference—each Xiao Tian figure wielded a sword imbued with two
During their journey, they continued to chat casually. The ease of their conversation made time pass quickly until finally, a grand palace began to appear in the distance to Xiao Tian.She Yingping kindly said, "Brother Tian, this is my palace. In the future, if you need anything, don't hesitate to visit. However..." Her words trailed off, and her face showed a hint of awkwardness."Prince Eighth, what is it?" Xiao Tian immediately asked, sensing there was something difficult for She Yingping to express.With a bitter smile, She Yingping continued, "Brother Tian, I’m reluctant to mention this because I don't care much about it myself. However, not everyone has an open mind. I need to let you know that inside this palace, it's not just the three of us, but many others are waiting. Considering your background, I hope you won't be offended if there are words that might hurt your feelings."Xiao Tian smiled slightly. "I don’t care much about what others say. They can say whatever they lik
Xiao Tian had returned to his residence. After taking out a black box adorned with a turtle motif, he sensed Liu Qingyun and the others around him.However, Xiao Tian did not want to disturb them. He went straight inside and began his training. "This resource might not help me break through to the next stage, but it can at least strengthen my foundation."He had stored some valuable resources from the pockets of those who had tried to kill him. Yet, Xiao Tian's needs for resources were different from others. After reaching the fifth rank as an Earth King, he realized that every bit of energy he absorbed seemed to disappear as if swallowed by the Earth."Strange, why can’t I use the energy already in my body to increase my energy circles? What’s wrong with my body?" Xiao Tian wondered.Unbeknownst to Xiao Tian, something terrifying lurked inside him, even the artifact spirit of the mysterious rusty sword was powerless against it.****The next morning, Xiao Tian and Liu Qingyun emerged
