Qiu Changfeng felt uneasy. Where had that young master run off to? Could he really have been wrapped around Ning Rong's little finger by that girl?

Still, it was better if he did not come back. Over the past few days, Qiu Changfeng had secretly kept an eye on Ning Rong and discovered that something had been off with her lately. She had been asking people everywhere to search for Xiang Tian's whereabouts, apparently still unwilling to let things go.

Only Sinan Yao stood in the vast martial arts arena. Beneath the blazing sun, sunlight spilled over him, covering his entire body in a layer of radiance that made the girls below stare with shining eyes.

"Is Xiang Tian too scared to come? It's already been an entire morning. The sun's practically baked me stupid."

"I'd say there's an eighty percent chance that's it. He dared to provoke Ding Yang, but he might not dare provoke Sinan Yao."

"Why don't you all shut your mouths? Neither of those two is someone you can afford to offend."

The discussions below grew incessant. Quite a few people were looking forward to Xiang Tian's arrival. After all, those watching a spectacle never thought the commotion was too big.

It was already noon. Sinan Yao frowned. Could that guy really not be coming? He had arrived at the crack of dawn and had stood up here for an entire morning!

From afar, Ning Rong, who had been secretly observing, curled her lips in disdain. "So this is all he amounts to. He dares to act, but not to own up to it."

As for Xiang Tian, he had slept straight through the night until the sun was high in the sky. Seeing that he had not come out, Meng Wei did not dare knock on his door and could only wait.

After waking up, Xiang Tian washed up, tidied himself slightly, gave Meng Wei a brief greeting, and left.

Unlike when he had arrived, this time Xiang Tian got off directly at the Changning Immortal Academy station. The grand academy gates stood barely a hundred meters away.

The moment Xiang Tian stepped off the vehicle, the students on duty at the entrance widened their eyes.

"Damn, Xiang Tian really came back."

"Holy shit, I'm on duty. No, I have to message my brother right now and tell him to turn on the projection. I can't miss this fight."

Xiang Tian smiled and greeted them before heading straight for the martial arts arena.

"Holy shit, Xiang Tian's here!"

The martial arts arena was packed with people. Someone shouted, and the crowd instantly exploded into uproar, everyone looking around in every direction.

Xiang Tian leaped directly into the martial arts arena. His long robe fluttered gracefully, giving him quite the bearing. To be fair, if he had not previously left such a terrifying impression on his classmates, he would not have lacked admirers. After all, Xiang Tian had never thought himself bad-looking.

He looked at Sinan Yao and smiled faintly. "Sorry, I overslept."

That sentence nearly made Sinan Yao explode with rage.

I fucking spent all night preparing, imagining countless ways to defeat you and humiliate you. You show up today and tell me you overslept? Who the hell are you looking down on?

"If there's nothing else, shall we begin?"

Xiang Tian spoke as lightly as drifting clouds, while Sinan Yao's face turned dark. Was this guy not looking down on him a little too much?

"Fine. Get ready to become a dead dog!"

The moment Sinan Yao finished speaking, a phantom azure dragon appeared behind him without warning. It opened its bloody maw and lunged at Xiang Tian.

Its momentum was so immense that cries of alarm rang out all around.

Sinan Yao had long since reached the Deity Transformation Realm. His control over his spiritual power was refined down to the smallest detail, and the entire sequence flowed as naturally as clouds and running water, without the slightest hesitation.

Xiang Tian merely smiled. Forming a sword sign with his fingers, he sent majestic Sword Qi soaring into the heavens. With one downward slash, he cleaved the azure dragon in two, scattering its might into nothing.

From afar, Qiu Changfeng, who had been watching with surprise at Xiang Tian's return, nodded. Not bad. It seemed Xiang Tian had already comprehended most of the Sword Intent within the Sword Comprehension Stone. Using his fingers as a sword, he was fierce and domineering.

The watching students cried out in amazement. Xiang Tian's methods made them wildly envious. This was simply too cool.

I wield swords, but I don't use a sword. Heh, I just use my fingers. How terrifying is that?

"So you really refined the Sword Intent!"

Sinan Yao was furious. That thing should have belonged to him if nothing unexpected had happened!

Xiang Tian smiled faintly without answering. He charged forward instead, throwing a flesh-and-blood fist at Sinan Yao.

A contest of spells and divine abilities held no thrill of battle. Xiang Tian preferred solid, fist-to-fist clashes.

Sinan Yao struck back. The two were locked in a fierce struggle, trading blows back and forth. Their fists and kicks collided with the clang of metal against iron, kicking up rolling clouds of dust.

In the shadows, Ning Rong narrowed her eyes as she watched the battle closely. You got away last time. This time, I absolutely will not let you escape again.

After exchanging punches, the two separated. Both were lightly sweating. Sinan Yao frowned and looked at his fists, which had turned slightly red. His legs felt as though they had been filled with lead, swollen and aching.

This guy looks so fair and delicate. Why is his body like some steel behemoth?

Xiang Tian stared at Sinan Yao, the corners of his lips lifting slightly. He was beginning to feel it. That desire for battle was steadily rising.

"Don't stop. Once you stop, it'll be a little difficult to pick things back up."

With that, Xiang Tian charged again.

Sinan Yao sneered and calmly took out a red controller, tapping it lightly.

In an instant, Xiang Tian, who had rushed before him, was sent flying by a crimson tidal wave. His entire body felt as if it had collided with steel, making him wince in pain. Once he steadied himself, he saw that Sinan Yao had summoned a set of red Divine Armor, silently floating at his side.

"Changhong Pierces the Sun, Scorching Blazing Sun!"

As the system announcement sounded, Xiang Tian suddenly burst out laughing amid the originally solemn atmosphere of battle.

He said to Sinan Yao, "Young master, when you summon your Divine Armor in the future, could you turn off that system voice? It's pretty embarrassing."

The moment he said that, quite a few people below could not hold it in and began laughing along.

Sinan Yao's face darkened further. He glared at Xiang Tian, anger flickering in his eyes, then struck the Divine Armor floating beside him. It rapidly disassembled and covered his body.

He had absolute confidence in this set of Divine Armor. It was one of his trump cards, and its true combat strength far surpassed the Deity Transformation Realm.

He had heard that Xiang Tian had once crushed Ding Yang's Life Immortal Sword barehanded, so naturally, he did not dare let down his guard.

After fully arming himself, Sinan Yao said to Xiang Tian, "You should bring out your trump card as well. I've waited for you all morning. I don't want to waste any more time."

Xiang Tian rubbed his arms and calves, looked at the Divine Armor radiating a wild and savage aura from head to toe, and chuckled.

Then, beneath everyone's astonished gazes, he slowly raised his hand. A silver-white controller appeared in his palm.

"You!"

Sinan Yao, clad in Divine Armor, was stunned. That thing was clearly the controller for another set of Divine Armor, but he could not tell what rank it was.

And how could Xiang Tian possibly possess Divine Armor? Had such things not always been controlled by Riyao?

"My god, is that a Divine Armor controller?"

Someone below had already dropped their jaw in disbelief and cried out.

In the shadows, Ning Rong's eyes widened as well. Could Xiang Tian also be one of Riyao's people? What exactly was the Immortal King Changning trying to accomplish?

Looking at Sinan Yao, Xiang Tian smiled faintly. "Sorry, but I have the treasure you thought was your trump card too!"

With that, he activated it.

The silver Divine Armor rapidly covered his body. On the arena, one silver and one red stood facing each other, an unprecedented sight.
