Chapter 40:In the spectators' stands, Daniel's condition gradually improved thanks to Liu Qingyun's treatment. Once he was stable enough, Xiao Tian gave him some pills to ensure there were no hidden injuries left in Daniel's body.After recovering, Daniel turned his gaze toward the arena, where a fierce battle between Ershita'er and Luyanzhi was taking place. "Young Master, who do you think will emerge victorious between them?" Daniel asked curiously.Xiao Tian calmly observed the arena. "Ershita'er is indeed very strong. With a fifth-tier Earth King warrior cultivation, he can manipulate ice power freely. However, despite his greatness, I believe the winner will still be Luyanzhi.""Luyanzhi?" Daniel and the two elders who overheard were surprised. They found it hard to believe Xiao Tian's words, considering Ershita'er's impressive strength. Even a seventh-tier warrior would likely struggle against him.Xiao Tian smiled faintly. "Pay close attention. Ershita'er may have unleashed hi
Chapter 41The audience in the stands was already familiar with She Huan’s reputation. Although stronger than She Feng, She Huan did not have as high a status as his cousin. He was merely the son of an Elder with a not-so-prominent position in the Empire.She Huan stepped forward and clasped his hands politely. "Brother Tian, I seek your guidance."Xiao Tian responded with a similar gesture. "I also hope to receive guidance from Brother She Huan."Although both seemed polite and respectful on the surface, neither of them had any intention of conceding. She Huan quickly released his momentum, displaying a powerful and dominant aura. However, Xiao Tian did not remain passive. He also released his aura, demonstrating that he would not be outdone in terms of strength and determination.The clash of these great forces met in the air, intensifying the atmosphere in the Martial Arts Arena. The audience held their breath, anticipating who would outshine the other in a fight that had already h
Everyone in the audience now knew Xiao Tian's cultivation level. However, instead of being impressed, many frowned."I thought Tian had a higher realm. Turns out he's only at the fifth rank," some of them murmured.That realm didn’t meet their expectations. All this time, Xiao Tian had easily won his battles, even against opponents at the sixth rank, who couldn't do much against him. This left many people wondering how someone with a lower realm could defeat opponents who should have been stronger."Being able to defeat someone of a higher realm means Tian has strength that defies the heavens. But to defeat Luyanzhi? That seems very difficult. Even Ershita'er, who has a special ice body, was defeated by him. Let alone Tian," someone in the audience whispered, reflecting their doubts about Xiao Tian's chances in this final.The audience's conversations halted when She Xongjan's voice echoed throughout the arena."Now, the match enters the final round. This is truly a great surprise for
In Wuyu City, a large city of the Ming Dynasty, its ruler was the Wang kingdom. However, the current king did not bear the Wang surname but instead bore the surname Xiao. The current king was Xiao Jian, the son-in-law of the previous Wang king. Xiao Jian's wife was the eldest daughter of the previous Wang king. Now, Xiao Jian, along with his wife and son, were surrounded by generals of the Wang kingdom itself, assisted by influential figures from other forces.Xiao Jian stood with his wife, Wangmei, while behind them was their seven-year-old son, Xiao Tian.“Xiao Jian, now I will take your life and also the lives of your wife and son. I will take the throne that rightfully belongs to me!”The person speaking was Wang Chong, the younger brother of Wangmei. But now, the brother she loved most was rebelling, daring even to kill everyone loyal to Xiao Jian.“Brother Wang Chong, why are you doing this? If you want the throne, I won’t hesitate to give it all to you. After all, I do not desi
Xiao Tian, seeing his father stabbed, screamed hysterically.Xiao Tian wanted to go back, but his mother stopped him. “Tian’er, we must go. Don’t waste your father’s sacrifice, who wants us to live!”“No, Mother, I must save Father!” Xiao Tian struggled to break free from his mother’s grasp, but his mother held him tight, and they ran faster.Xiao Tian’s eyes had turned red; he was crying tears of blood. He kept staring at his father, who now had no chance to live. Dozens of spears and swords had pierced his father’s body from front and back.Xiao Jian stood with his sword as support. He looked at Wang Chong with a murderous gaze. “Wang Chong, your death is not far. My son will surely avenge me.”Wang Chong sneered coldly. “Don’t hope too much. They won’t be able to escape! I will send them to hell to accompany you!”Wang Chong looked at his troops. “Capture them and bring them back, dead or alive!”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Wang Chong's face turned red, his anger reaching its peak, his ey
The General took Wangmei’s body back to the Kingdom. Wang Chong welcomed their arrival. After hearing the whole story, Wang Chong didn’t care about Xiao Tian, as he also believed that wild beasts indeed ate Xiao Tian.“Prepare a funeral for my sister! As for Xiao Jian’s body, throw it into the soul-tracker dog kennel.”Wang Chong was genuinely ruthless, letting his brother-in-law’s body become food for his pet dogs.After Wangmei’s body was buried and Xiao Jian’s body was thrown into the dog kennel, they didn’t know that both bodies had transformed into a tree branch.****In a place far away, not in the Ming Dynasty nor Wuyu City, a middle-aged man stood with a wonderful woman on a mountain peak that reached beyond the clouds.The man and woman bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jian and Wangmei.The woman gazed at the vast sea of clouds spreading out before her. Even though she looked at the sea of clouds, her vision could penetrate everything in every direction. She sighed softly
Xiao Tian felt warmth as the older man continued channeling his internal energy into him.The older man frowned, astonished by Xiao Tian's healing ability. Even if he hadn't treated him, Xiao Tian would have healed alone. If he had continued drifting in the river, his body could have been torn apart by the fierce water.After some time, Xiao Tian woke up and clasped his hands."Senior, thank you for saving me."Xiao Tian didn't call the old man grandpa because he felt that was only appropriate for his relatives, so he just called him senior.Hearing Xiao Tian's thanks, the older man didn't immediately respond. He was still amazed by the child's healing ability. Moreover, he was perplexed; he couldn't discern the type of bones and specific areas in Xiao Tian's body.The older man was sure this child was not ordinary. An ordinary child would have indeed died in that great river. Not to mention the ferocious beasts; even the fierce river current and hitting the rocks should have killed h
“Respect to the patriarch.” The gatekeepers immediately bowed in respect upon seeing Fa Wa. Fa Wa merely smiled and led Ziyan Rouxi and Xiao Tian inside. Xiao Tian arrived at Fa Wa’s residence. Fa Wa looked at Xiao Tian. “Tian, you will stay here now. However, although I have adopted you as my grandson, you will not be exempt from duties. Your task is to clean the entire courtyard and the training area. You must also take care of all the books in this house; do not let a single book gather dust! When you turn ten, I will register you as a disciple of this sect. Even though I am the patriarch, I must follow the sect’s rules. Do you understand?” Xiao Tian clasped his hands together. “Grandfather, I understand.” **** Every day, Xiao Tian diligently performed his tasks. Every morning, Xiao Tian diligently swept the courtyard, removing the scattered dry leaves. The morning sunlight reflected off the sweat on his innocent face. After that, he moved on to his next task, dusting off the
