“Bet on it! Let’s see what Xie Lingfeng, dare to challenge our Seven-Star Study Palace!”
“Haha, we, the Seven-Star Study Palace will now take the honor from Jianzun Cliff!”
Therefore, students began to place their bets.
All of them bet on the victory of the Seven-Star Study Palace!
On the big stone, Hu Shan’s side was already piled up with small bags, all filled with Spirit Vouchers. Looking at this, Xu Yan couldn’t contain his excitement.
With this round, he was going to make a big profit again.
Xie Lingfeng on the martial arts stage twitched the corner of his mouth, instantly feeling the pressure.
If he lost, not only would it be a disgrace for Jianzun Cliff, but also a loss for Xu Yan’s money bag!
He took a deep breath and spoke coldly: “Anyone below the Grandmaster level doesn’t need to come up.”
Boom!
The powerful aura of a Grandmaster shone, stirring all around.
All the students of the Seven-Star Study Palace were taken aback. Xie Lingfeng was a martial artist at the Grandmaster’s realm!
Considering his age, he was in his twenties, yet he was already at the Grandmaster level. How many people in the Inner Domain could match him?
Rumors were not all empty claims.
“I’m up!”
A student from the Seven-Star Study Palace took to the airspace and landed on the martial arts platform.
He was also a martial artist Grandmaster.
“Please proceed!”
Xie Lingfeng said indifferently.
“Kill!”
The Grandmaster student, with a wave of his hand, struck with his knife.
But, with just a flash of sword light, his knife was sent flying, and a hole was pierced in his shoulder.
“Next!”
Xie Lingfeng said coldly.
The Seven-Star Study Palace students were silenced!
He defeated a Grandmaster with just one sword!
The expression on Fu Yuntian’s face became serious. Xie Lingfeng’s strength was, of course, not as good as Xu Yan’s, but his ability was, no doubt, deserving of his title.
This duel was also about the reputation of the younger generation of Seven-Star Study Palace.
“Let Ping Dong take a try, if he loses, no one under thirty in the Seven-Star Study Palace will be a match for Xie Lingfeng!”
Fu Yuntian said after some consideration.
“Agreed!”
Ding Yan nodded.
The second Grandmaster student of the Seven-Star Study Palace took to the stage, though stronger, Xie Lingfeng defeated him with two swords!
Third, then fourth…
None of them could take even three strikes from Xie Lingfeng!
And the Seven-Star Study Palace students, who had taken turns, were nearing their thirties. Neither in terms of age nor strength were they a match for Xie Lingfeng.
Thus, the students of the Seven-Star Study Palace fell into silence.
Those who were impulsive and had placed bets with spirit crystals now regretted their decision, looking at the pile of bags on the stone, wanting to withdraw their bets.
However, they were afraid of losing face for the Seven-Star Study Palace, they could only watch, not daring to retrieve their own bags.
Xu Yan was the most excited. He made another fortune in spirit crystals.
The trip to the Seven-Star Study Palace was greatly rewarding; he had defeated a Great Grandmaster, obtained Canglan Island, and now this bet. Even if each person wagered a thousand spirit crystals, there were still more than a hundred thousand spirit crystals.
This was a big win!
“Is there anyone else willing to fight!”
Xie Lingfeng held his sword, looking contemptuously at the students below the Seven-Star Study Palace.
At that moment, a strong momentum emerged from the Seven-Star Study Palace. A long knife streaked through the air and landed on the martial arts platform. Immediately after, a man with a blank expression appeared, reaching out to grasp the long knife.
“Ping Dong is here to learn a thing or two.”
The newcomer was about the same age as Xie Lingfeng, in his twenties, and of similar realm.
Xie Lingfeng’s look became more solemn, “So it’s Ping Dong.”
Ping Dong, one of the contemporary top talents of the Seven-Star Study Palace, was at par with Xie Lingfeng. He was known as one of the three youngest Grandmasters in the Inner Domain!
“Xie, you have a little challenger.”
Xu Yan said, looking at Ping Dong.
“Young Master Xu, who do you think will win?”
Yuying Du asked softly.
“Of course, it will be Xie.”
Xu Yan said without hesitation.
Xie Lingfeng had already condensed True Qi, his strength had greatly improved, and his understanding of Sword Dao wasn’t bad. Ping Dong, despite his substantial power, was still inferior to Xie Lingfeng.
Of course, if Xie Lingfeng had not condensed True Qi, his power would match that of Ping Dong. Then it would be hard to determine who would emerge victorious.
“Please!”
Xie Lingfeng voiced sternly.
Ping Dong appeared to be a man of few words. He just nodded, pointed his long knife, and in an instant, the knife light flickered, the knife Qi whistled. A chilly killing intent swept out.
Xie Lingfeng swung the treasured sword in his hand, displaying the Wanhe Swordsmanship. The Wanhe Swordsmanship he used now was not the original one.
It had been improved.
The Sword Qi surged out like a roaring wave, followed immediately by the display of his Flying Rainbow Sword!
The sword light flashed like lightning, intertwining disorderly within the Sword Qi. For a moment, their fight became fierce.
At a certain moment!
The Sword Qi converged into a vortex, sweeping up. The sword light flashed just once, seeming to pierce through the sky.
Crack!
The knife light shattered, its Qi dispersed. In front of Ping Dong, there was a sword with a cold, gleaming blade.
“I have lost!”
Ping Dong was silent for a long while before letting out a sigh.
“You were too kind!”
Said Xie Lingfeng with a cupped fist salute.
“Xie Lingfeng, truly deserving of his fame!”
Ping Dong turned and walked away.
“Is there anyone who wants to battle?”
Xie Lingfeng stood with his sword, looking disdainfully at the Seven-star Study Palace students.
At this moment, the Seven-star Study Palace students were silent as chickens.
“Young friend Xie, you’ve won, there’s no need to continue fighting.”
Fu Yuntian shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
Ping Dong had lost. Among the younger generation, no one was Xie Lingfeng’s match.
Hu Shan laughed heartily, wrapping up all the pouches on the rock and picked them up.
“Let’s go.”
Xu Yan was extremely excited.
Xie Lingfeng descended the combat platform and walked alongside Xu Yan. Hu Shan, Du Yuying, the woman in plain clothes, and the old woman followed closely behind.
After leaving the Seven-star Study Palace, Hu Shan stuffed the bundle into Xu Yan’s hands, saying, “Young Master Xu, your things!”
“I won’t stand on ceremony then.”
Xu Yan cheerfully accepted it.
Upon arriving in Seven-Star City, Xu Yan went straight to Tianbao Pavilion to exchange his Spirit Tickets for larger denominations.
“Eight hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, making money is so hard!”
Xu Yan walked out of Tianbao Pavilion, lamenting with an expression of surprise.
Xie Lingfeng and the rest were all speechless.
The group came to the elegant place suggested by Du Yuying. As expected, it was a quiet and secluded spot.
“Cui’er, didn’t I ask you to reserve the entire place?”
Seeing several martial artists sitting not far away enjoying Spiritual Tea, Du Yuying frowned and asked.
“Miss, those people seem to have high status. The shopkeeper didn’t let us reserve”
Cui’er whispered.
“Miss Du, there’s no need to go to such lengths. If there are people, then let there be people.”
Xu Yan said.
The group sat down in an elegant courtyard.
Suddenly, the voices of several martial artists came over.
“Have you guys heard? Apparently, the Proud Son of Heaven from Sword Sovereign Cliff, Xie Lingfeng, is actually bald!”
“Really? I’ve never heard that Xie Lingfeng is bald.”
“You don’t understand, Xie Lingfeng wears a wig!”
“Yuan Brother, how did you find out?”
A companion asked curiously.
“News from Yan country, Xie Lingfeng killed several grandmasters. Moreover, he has provoked a strong enemy. It is said that he is currently being pursued by a great grandmaster!”
“Gosh! Where did this great grandmaster come from? Daring to chase and kill Xie Lingfeng? Isn’t he afraid of Sword Sovereign Cliff, of Xie Tianheng?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Suddenly, someone else interjected: “Yuan Brother, your news is a bit outdated, isn’t it? You just returned to Seven-star City, you probably don’t know, Xie Lingfeng is currently at Seven-star Study Palace, he passed the nine levels of the combat platform.
“And moreover, I heard that the one being pursued is Hu Shan from Sword Sovereign Cliff, the bald guy is Hu Shan!”
“Oh, really? Such a thing happened?”
Yuan Brother was amazed.
“The one being chased by a great grandmaster is Hu Shan from Sword Sovereign Cliff?”
“Yes, it’s the latest news 1 got!”
“Do you know which great grandmaster? Hu Shan’s father, Great Grandmaster Hu Hai, was Xie Tianheng’s book boy, dare to chase and kill Hu Shan, isn’t he afraid of Great Grandmaster Hu Hai?”
“Who knows what’s going on, it’s probably for some treasure.”
Xie Lingfeng and the rest looked at each other in surprise. What kind of rumor was this?
Xie Lingfeng tugged at his own hair, the corner of his mouth twitching, “When did I become bald?”
Hu Shan was also dumbfounded, “That’s not right, I’m here, when was I chased down by a great grandmaster? And with my strength, there’s no need for a great grandmaster to chase me. I can be killed directly, where would I have the chance to escape?”
Du Yuying and the woman in plain clothes were also surprised.
The news from the people nearby was too outdated and too ridiculous.
However, Xu Yan’s eyes widened in anger, “It’s my junior brother Meng Chong! Which shitty great grandmaster dared to chase and kill my junior brother!”
He stood up angrily..
