Chapter 169 - Fighting Guo Yu
Everyone was shocked, if Guo Yu wanted to compete with Xia Xuan, it would mean that the Shuangyi Sect would want to become friends with Xia Xuan, then Xia Xuan would definitely not be someone to be trifled with in the future.
"I couldn't ask for more." The corner of Xia Xuan's mouth raised slightly, when Guo Yu had just appeared, he had already secretly conversed with her, at that time, Guo Yu had already requested for a competition, and Xia Xuan had also agreed to it. Now that Guo Yu had requested for a competition in front of everyone, it was actually to express his intention to get to know Xia Xuan.
Of course, the main reason why Guo Yu had publicly expressed his desire to get to know Xia Xuan was because Xia Xuan had five hundred meridian s. By now, the Shuangyi Sect had already determined that there was at least one god backing Xia Xuan.
Almost everyone would chat with Xia Xuan after the banquet ended, and Wei Lingyun secretly rejoiced because he did not dare to offend Xia Xuan.
It was night. The liveliness within the Northern Imperial Clan did not lessen. Originally, most people would choose to leave after the feast. However, after the feast, most people chose to stay in the Northern Imperial Clan for no other reason other than to witness the fight between Xia Xuan and the Dragon King tomorrow.
One was the young Sect Leader of the Duo Cultivation, a peerless genius who had reached the peak of the Fourth rank Xuan Lord at the age of twenty. The other was a legendary figure who had recently appeared in the Hundred Desolations, and Xia Xuan, who possessed the strength of a Fourth rank Xuan Lord expert as his enemy.
There was a tall building in the Northern Imperial City. At this time, the interior of the building had long been richly decorated. All of the Guest s who stayed behind were gathered here, and all of the beauties were holding a cup of red wine to chat with the bystanders.
Xia Xuan did not like this kind of place. Back then, he had lived a carefree life that lasted for tens of thousands of years in the The Divine Realm. He was so used to being free and easy, and did not want to strike up a conversation with other sects.
Carrying a cup of red wine, Xia Xuan arrived at a balcony. The night sky was beautiful, the stars in the sky were twinkling, and the moon appeared to be in the shape of a jade plate.
"Isn't it boring to drink alone?" Just as Xia Xuan was immersed in the beautiful night sky, a gentle voice sounded. Xia Xuan did not realize when the owner of the voice had approached him, but the only person who was able to come soundlessly to his side and have such a gentle voice was Yan Shuang alone.
Xia Xuan did not turn his head to look at the flame frost but instead stared fixedly at the moon. A nostalgic expression surfaced on his face, as if he was trying to remember something beautiful.
"Although wine is good wine, if she could drink with me, how good would that be?" Xia Xuan suddenly sighed, his words causing Yan Shuang to be stunned, so it turned out that Xia Xuan had always been missing the demon god.
"Isn't there a Demon Dwellers in the Hundred Wastelands? Why don't we go to the Infernal domain in a few days?" A tinge of sadness appeared in Yan Shuang's eyes, but she quickly retracted it. A smile appeared on her face, and she smiled at Xia Xuan.
"It's been hard on you, follow me everywhere." Xia Xuan's gaze turned towards Yan Shuang, a gentle look in his eyes as he caressed Yan Shuang's golden hair.
"You're my brother." Yan Shuang nodded obediently and smiled.
Xia Xuan retracted his palm, and once again looked towards the sky.
At this moment, a tinge of dejection appeared in Yan Shuang's eyes once again. That's right, you're my brother, and just my brother.
The night passed quickly, and when the first rays of the morning sun shone on the land, Xia Xuan also restrained his aura and stopped his cultivation.
Xia Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the rising sun, he could not help but smile, today there was going to be a hard fight.
At the center of the Northern Imperial Gate was the disciple training field. Normally, this would be an empty field, but in the span of a night, a fighting stage over a hundred zhang wide and several zhang tall was pulled out of the ground.
Although it was currently morning, the people from the Northern Imperial Clan were still awake. They all woke up early in the morning and gathered around the battling platform without eating breakfast, waiting to watch the competition.
"Coming, coming." While people were conversing, someone within the crowd spoke out. Then, the entire crowd started to boil as everyone looked towards the entrance of the chaotic dojo.
There were three figures at the entrance of the training grounds, and the leader of the three was Guo Yu. To Guo Yu's left was a lady with a snake whip wrapped around her waist, regardless of her figure or looks, she was an absolute beauty. This person was Big Sister Guo Yu Guo Shuang. Although his talent was not as good as Guo Yu's, he was still a well-known figure in the Duo Yi Hall. Even Guo Yu had to behave like a sheep in front of him.
On the right of Guo Yu was a white-haired Old Man who was dressed in simple plain clothes. He looked old and decrepit, but actually, he had already participated in the Taotie feast yesterday, but even Xia Xuan did not notice his existence.
Not long after Guo Yu and the other two arrived, another three people came to the training grounds. Among the three, one of them was dressed in black, his figure was slightly skinny, but his eyebrows were straight and he looked somewhat handsome.
Of course, no one's eyes were focused on Xia Xuan. Instead, it was Yan Shuang and Miao Linger, who were beside Xia Xuan, that attracted the vast majority of gazes, whether it was Yan Shuang or Miao Linger, both of them were devastatingly beautiful women. Some people among the two would even turn their gazes towards Xia Xuan.
"Tsk." Seeing that everyone's gaze was focused on and Yan Shuang, Guo Shuang could not help but let out a scoffing. All women more or less had a competitive spirit, and being pushed down by someone would inevitably give birth to displeasure.
Hearing the sound, Guo Yu looked towards Guo Shuang, but seeing the displeasure on Guo Shuang's face, he could only shake his head helplessly, no longer looking at her.
Suddenly, a spiritual energy pressure appeared, and Han Shuanglong slowly floated down from the sky, landing right on the stage.
"Good morning everyone. I believe everyone is here to watch the competition. Our hero also seems to be in a hurry." Once Han Shuanglong landed on the stage, he said: "Next, let's invite Guo Yu onto the stage."
With that, Han Shuanglong activated his spiritual energy and flew to the fighting stage, and everyone's gazes turned towards Guo Yu and Xia Xuan. However, no one saw Xia Xuan and Guo Yu. It was only after about ten seconds did people realise that the two of them had already appeared on the stage. As for what they had seen previously, it was only an afterimage.
When Xia Xuan and Guo Yu were facing each other, both of their eyes were filled with seriousness. Both sides could see the other party's speed, and no matter which side it was, none of them dared to say that they had absolute confidence in defeating the other party.
"Ha — —" The two of them shouted at the same time. The spiritual energy burst out from their bodies and blew away the dust on the stage. What was most surprising was that Xia Xuan's spiritual energy's degree of refinement was not one bit inferior to Guo Yu's.
Sensing the degree of refinement of the spiritual energy that Xia Xuan had exploded on the stage, the Old Man who came along with him could not help but narrow his eyes. If a person's refining level of a spiritual energy far surpassed their peers, then it was not impossible for them to challenge someone above their cultivation level. After all, the most important thing in raising one's cultivation was not the amount of spiritual energy, but the quality of the spiritual energy, which was also the degree of condensation of the spiritual energy.
Of course, this kind of person had a fatal weakness, and that was the lack of spiritual energy. No matter what kind of battle it was, they had to end it quickly, and after the battle was over, they would be exhausted and unable to continue fighting.
