Because Xin Yuxi had come out of seclusion, and the current Xin Yuxi had already stepped into the Honored Spirit Master Realm. The first thing she did when she came out of seclusion was to look for Lingyang Tengyu, so Lingyang Tengyu was simply unable to continue cultivating quietly.
"Husband, why is my expression the same when you see me? Don't tell me you don't want to see me?" Xin Yuxi asked as he snuggled close to him and giggled.
Lingyang Tengyu looked speechless, and said with a chuckle: "Why would I not want to see you, it's just that I was cultivating just now, so I was a little distracted by my thoughts."
Xin Yuxi revealed a sweet smile on her face, then asked Lingyang Tengyu what she had been doing recently. Lingyang Tengyu did not hide anything and told him about some of her experiences.
Originally, he could start training from the fourth stage, but Lingyang Tengyu didn't do so. Instead, he started cultivating from the first stage. This way, even though it would delay him a bit, he could take the opportunity to refine the Astral Spirit Element and make it stronger.
Ling Yangruxue had come twice, and told Lingyang Tengyu that the person who saved Liu Tianyuan was the Blood Demon Elder, who was ruthless, merciless, and had the strength of an emperor. Although everyone knew that he was on the Heavenly Sword Continent, no one knew where he was hiding, and even the clan elders of the Heavenly Sword Academy themselves were unable to find his hiding spot.
However, this time, it was not Lingyang Tengyu who did it, but Han Mei Er who asked for someone else to do it. Han Mei Er's identity and background was not something that the Liu Family could compare to, so it was normal for the Liu Family to be exterminated.
This matter caused a burst of panic in the Heavenly Sword Continent. Many leaders of various powers had personally instructed their disciples to be obedient and not be overbearing, or else the sect rules would punish them, for fear of provoking someone they should not have provoked.
white child and Blood of Calore had also hidden themselves, but Lingyang Tengyu's Celestial Dragon Pavilion did have some news, but Lingyang Tengyu did not plan to find trouble with Blood of Calore and Blood of Calore right now. After all, he was not their opponent without the power of snow.
Moreover, using the last bit of energy left in the snow sword this time, caused its injuries to become even worse. It was unknown just how long it would take for it to recover, so it was unable to use the power of residual snow again for a short period of time.
Lingyang Tengyu was still a long way from reaching this level. Not long after he stepped into the Xiao Yuanman realm, he had also reached the great circle of perfection in Xiao Yuanman and half a step into the Honored Spirit Master. That was why he still had a long way to go.
There was still one more enemy in front of Lingyang Tengyu, and that was Zuo Tao. There was a life-and-death battle between him and Zuo Tao, where one would have to step into the Life and Death Arena to live and die in peace. This was a rule set by the Heavenly Sword Academy.
Zuo Tao's strength was not simple at all. It was said that this man could control two of the First Order Honored Warriors's Intermediate Secret Method and cultivate a middle rank Earth Realm cultivation technique. Furthermore, he had already cultivated them to an extremely profound level.
Lingyang Tengyu currently had the strength of the Zong Ling Wu Master s. Without using the Nine Stars Returning Technique, being able to fight those practitioners that had been in the Honored Spirit Master for a long time would not be much of a problem even if he were to use the Nine Stars Returning Technique, as compared to a half-step Honored Spirit Master.
What was worth mentioning was that his Misty Rain Zither Art had recently improved by leaps and bounds. He had already mastered the first style, Misty Rain Dreamy Killer, to an extremely profound level. As long as a Honored Spirit Master was enveloped by the zither light, they would definitely fall into an illusion and lose instantly.
Even if it was the First Order Honored Warriors, without any defenses prepared, those with weak willpower would still be severely injured. This could be considered as Lingyang Tengyu's trump card.
Right now, the second move, Life Snatching Zither Sound, was something Lingyang Tengyu had not mastered yet. However, if he was struck by the Life Snatching Zither sound, it would be very difficult for the First Order Honored Warriors to survive. Unless he had a method to block the Life Snatching Zither sound, otherwise, his death rate would be as high as 90%.
This was the terror of the Misty Rain Zither Art, and was also the terror of the zither canal. The strongest in the six sects of the world was the Zither Sect, but there were very few people who knew about it now, because the six sects of the world had already begun to decline, and even the Zither Sect had disappeared for who knows how many years.
Lingyang Tengyu was born with the innate gift of inheriting the zither canal s, because when he was seven years old, his first time touching a zither of the ninth heaven, he could already make out such a beautiful musical note, causing even his third and fourth grandfather to be extremely shocked.
In the early morning of the next day, Lingyang Tengyu woke up and first practiced his zither techniques and then his sword techniques. Xin Yuxi took out a set of white clothes and personally helped Lingyang Tengyu change into the clothes of an outer court disciple of the Heavenly Sword Academy.
Lingyang Tengyu nodded his head and laughed, "Don't worry, with Zuo Tao's strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to injure him even if I wanted to."
Today was the day of the arranged battle between Lingyang Tengyu and Zuo Tao, so the entire Outer Academy was shaken up, even the Outer Academy Dean elder was shocked. However, not many people thought highly of Lingyang Tengyu, because Zuo Tao was one of the top experts in the Outer Academy.
There were very few people at the same level who could defeat Zuo Tao, not to mention a freshman at the level of Zong Ling Wu Master. Therefore, someone had set up a bet, and Lingyang Tengyu's odds were 1: 20, which meant that he would have to bet five hundred merit value on Lingyang Tengyu.
"Yu Xi, later on when you bet five hundred thousand merit value that I would win, we can make a huge profit this time," Lingyang Tengyu said with a smile. Five hundred thousand merit value, if it was ten million, it would be a terrifying sum, even if he sold off the one who set up the gambling house, it wouldn't be worth this amount. But even if Lingyang Tengyu wanted this result, although he liked to keep a low profile, he still had to put on a high profile sometimes, when he should be, otherwise, everyone would think that he was a soft persimmon.
"I still have two hundred thousand merit value," Xin Yuxi said in a tender voice, before taking Lingyang Tengyu's identity plate and placing the five hundred thousand merit value in his own identity plate. There were seven hundred thousand of them, so it would be fun to play with then.
Lingyang Tengyu walked towards the life and death arena. At this time, there were already many people gathered around the Life and Death Stage, and a few of them were familiar to Lingyang Tengyu. They were Wu Shan and Xiao Hongxia, Lin Xiaoqing and the others.
Lingyang Tengyu smiled at them, and directly walked up the life and death arena. At this time, Zuo Tao was already up there, and when he saw Lingyang Tengyu walking up, he chuckled and said, "Seems like you're prepared to send yourself to your death."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "I will give you a chance, a chance to live. As long as you kneel down and say that you are trash, I will not kill you but only cripple your cultivation. What do you think, I am still very merciful."
A faint smile surfaced on the corner of Lingyang Tengyu's mouth, and he said while chuckling: "Originally, I had intended to spare your life, but since you're courting death, I'll grant you that wish."
He then looked towards the referee elder and softly said, "Can we start now?"
The referee elder looked at Lingyang Tengyu, then looked at Zuo Tao and softly said, "Everyone on the life and death arena has their orders. Since you are all prepared, let's begin."
