Repair Complete

Inside the Linglong Treasure Pavilion, Meng Wei was truly on edge, constantly urging the elder to speed up the repair of the divine armor. He hoped to send it to Xiang Tian quickly so that this powerful figure would leave.

Xiang Tian, meanwhile, hadn't been idle. He had spent the past few days investigating the Ding Family. To his surprise, the Ding Family had been very well-behaved, operating their businesses according to regulations and without any unusual actions.

Would the Ding Family just swallow this insult? Xiang Tian didn't believe it. He figured Ding Chongshan probably wished he could be ground into dust.

Furthermore, with only one day left until Sinan Yao's scheduled duel, Xiang Tian was starting to lose patience. The speed of the divine armor's repair was truly too slow.

Within Immortal Academy, Sinan Yao had been granted special permission to temporarily leave the Prodigy Class. After returning to his residence, someone quickly reported all the recent events, big and small.

"What did you say? He angered Ning Rong?"

Sinan Yao slammed his hand on the table, causing the jade surface to shatter. His eyes widened in fury, making the subordinate flinch back a step.

"Big brother, it's true. However, that kid escaped, and we still don't know where he's hiding."

Without another word, Sinan Yao left his residence and flew towards the mountain peak where Ning Rong lived.

South of the mountain, Ning Rong's courtyard.

He stood outside the wall, calling Ning Rong's name.

After a moment, Ning Rong opened the door. Upon seeing Sinan Yao, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. She crossed her arms, her tone indifferent.

"What is it?"

Sinan Yao looked at her with a serious expression. "I heard Xiang Tian angered you. I have no other purpose in coming here; I just wanted to tell you that I will teach him a good lesson for you in tomorrow's duel!"

Hearing his words, Ning Rong let out a chuckle.

"Are you sure he'll even show up tomorrow? And are you that confident in yourself? After all, he's someone the Changning Immortal King has taken notice of. You might not be his match."

To be looked down upon by the woman he admired, how could he stand it?

Sinan Yao's face flushed. "So what? I'll prove that even Immortal Kings can misjudge. I, Sinan Yao, am no worse than him. I can honestly say I've never used my influence to bully anyone, nor have I ever seriously harmed a classmate. Someone like him, am I not a hundred times, even a thousand times better than him?"

Ning Rong had to admit that what he said was not wrong. Regardless of whether his humble demeanor was an act, in his interactions with others, he was indeed impeccable.

However, Ning Rong truly felt no attraction towards him. What she admired was someone who could overshadow all the other prodigies, someone who could stand alone against the world, commanding the submission of all!

Clearly, Sinan Yao was still far from that; he had a long way to go.

Ning Rong didn't want to interact with him too much. She simply said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, Classmate Sinan Yao, please return. Don't let others see us, lest they gossip."

Then she closed the door and went inside, leaving Sinan Yao alone with a wry smile.

He understood Ning Rong's background and knew she had high standards. Although his own status wasn't bad, it was merely inherited. Moreover, cultivators like them always had a certain view of those who relied on technology, and he was aware of that.

After standing outside Ning Rong's courtyard for a long time, Sinan Yao's expression was somewhat dejected.

Ning Rong was indeed outstanding and beautiful. He liked Ning Rong because, in his opinion, only she was worthy of him within the academy.

Furthermore, with Ning Rong's background, if they were to become a couple, it would be a great help to his inheritance of Riyao.

Returning to his residence, Sinan Yao began to adjust his state. At this time, the atmosphere of the academy also began to subtly shift.

The students started discussing the upcoming duel privately, a move deliberately initiated by Sinan Yao.

Many instructors also secretly looked forward to seeing who would emerge victorious between Xiang Tian and Sinan Yao.

Everything was within Sinan Yao's calculations. If Xiang Tian appeared tomorrow, he would defeat him in front of everyone, seizing the opportunity to gain Ning Rong's favor.

If Xiang Tian didn't show up, it wouldn't matter either. This time, he would ruin Xiang Tian's reputation, branding him a coward.

Inside the Linglong Treasure Pavilion, Meng Wei was immensely relieved. The divine armor was finally repaired, and he rushed to deliver it to Xiang Tian.

"Little Brother Xiang Tian, this divine armor is ready. Moreover, our people have modified its external structure slightly, but the core components were untouched. Therefore, when this divine armor is summoned, it basically won't be recognizable as Black Abyss's."

Xiang Tian was somewhat surprised by Meng Wei's words. He had to admit that this guy was quite attentive, actually modifying the appearance. But it was good; it would save him some trouble, allowing him to casually wear it out in the future.

It was already evening. Looking at the silver-white controller in his hand, Xiang Tian gently pressed the activation button.

"Initiating divine armor, please wait!"

Accompanied by an emotionless voice, the space began to change. Layers of silver steel armor rapidly clad Xiang Tian's entire body. Unlike Gu You's equipment, which was black and angular, the Linglong Treasure Pavilion had made significant changes to its appearance this time.

After being entirely plated in silver, the shape had also been greatly altered. It no longer possessed the highly lethal and aggressive feel of before; instead, it appeared much more peaceful. At first glance, no one would be able to associate this divine armor with Black Abyss's.

Xiang Tian was extremely satisfied with this, and Meng Wei applauded.

"Little Brother Xiang Tian looks absolutely magnificent wearing this divine armor, his demeanor is peerless!"

After retracting the divine armor, Xiang Tian nodded and said to Meng Wei, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. I've received much care recently. Since the divine armor is repaired, I shall take my leave."

Meng Wei was overjoyed at this, finally seeing the great Buddha depart. However, he still had to offer polite words.

"It's late now, why rush on your journey in the dark? Why not rest for another night?"

Xiang Tian pondered for a moment, glanced at the sky outside, and felt Meng Wei's words made sense. He couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably towards this fellow; he certainly knew how to handle people.

So, Xiang Tian agreed, deciding to rest well tonight and then defeat Sinan Yao thoroughly tomorrow.

"Then thank you, shopkeeper. I'll gratefully accept your offer."

Meng Wei:?

He was stunned. "I was just being polite; you really don't need to take it seriously!

Please leave quickly. The longer you stay here, the more uneasy I feel!"

Meng Wei was close to tears, wishing he could slap himself twice. What a stupid mouth he had, look at the mess he'd made.

Seeing Xiang Tian leisurely sitting on the bed, Meng Wei had no way to express his suffering. It seemed tonight would be another sleepless night.

Over the past few days, he had become noticeably thinner, unable to sleep at night, terrified that people from the Black Abyss would come to kill him.

However, that night, Xiang Tian slept soundly, truly replenishing his energy.

The next day, at Changning Immortal Academy, everyone from top to bottom was craning their necks to look, but damn it, a whole morning had passed and they still hadn't seen hide nor hair of Xiang Tian.
