Ling Tian had defeated every Ancient God-level expert who had challenged him, fulfilling the first condition Gu Ao and the others had set. Next came his battles against Gu Ao and the others. As long as he defeated them all, Chi Xue would give him the God-Slaying Arrow, and the Enlightenment Sacred Tree would follow him as well.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian rallied his spirits, ready to fulfill the second condition.
Ci Xin was the first to step forward. Ling Tian had already fought more than ten consecutive battles. According to their earlier agreement, he could wait until he had recovered to his peak before competing again, which was why he asked.
