Little Fatty Caused Trouble?
"The Frost Heaven Whip!"
"Bang!"
"Whip Shadow Ninefold Waves!"
????????"boom!"
"Bang!"
Staring blankly at the Ice Wall shattered into pieces before him, Xiao Han, covered in dust and dirt, looked strangely at the enraged Ice Emperor opposite him and exclaimed in shock:
"You were actually hiding your true strength?"
"What? You won't let me?"
With a flick of his Long Whip, which crackled like thunder in the air, Ice Emperor spoke expressionlessly.
"No... no."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xiao Han could only stand aside and chuckle, shaking his head vigorously like a rattle-drum, his attitude extremely sincere.
I never expected this!
Ice Emperor, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually betrayed our revolutionary friendship and kept a secret!
He truly lived up to his reputation. Just now, without using his Spirit Array Cultivation, he was beaten to the ground by the enraged Ice Emperor in a battle of equal strength, and had no choice but to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.
Rubbing his arm, which was slightly bruised from the earlier fight, Xiao Han couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Your skills are way beyond what's expected!"
"What's so special about this?"
The anger that had been building up within Ice Emperor for half a month due to Xiao Han's neglect had subsided, and she said casually:
"Don't forget, you are my successor, of the same lineage. Until you reach my level of strength, the purity of your Spiritual Power will always be inferior to mine."
"Isn't getting beaten up normal?"
Xiao Han nodded, his heart aching.
The drawback of inheritance is precisely this: although it provides the inheritor with a broad road that has been explored by predecessors, it also limits the inheritor's potential for development to a certain extent.
Unless one transcends the inherited path and ventures into the unknown, the vast majority of successors are no match for the original inheritor.
Even though Xiao Han is now extremely close to that step, he is still just one step short. Relying solely on Spiritual Power, he is no match for the Ice Emperor.
"It seems you've already mastered this Inheritance Ruins?"
"Ice Emperor asked curiously."
"That's right."
Xiao Han nodded, and the crystal ball appeared in his palm. After refining it, he could feel the close connection between himself and the Ruins.
What followed was ecstasy, accompanied by undisguised laughter.
"Now, the entire Ruins belong to us."
"It's time to leave." Although Ice Emperor was excited, he didn't care too much about it; he was more concerned about when to leave.
"Are you leaving?"
Xiao Han was taken aback, then pointed with a puzzled expression at the massive Nine Nether Jade Vein mountain above, and said with a half-smile:
"Isn't this an excellent training ground for you?"
Before Ice Emperor could answer, Xiao Han continued:
"I can set up a Spirit Array within the Ruins to draw upon the Cold Qi within the Nine Nether Jade Vein. Given the amount of Nine Nether Jade Vein here, the effect will be even better than the Supreme Spirit Liquid."
????????"real?"
Ice Emperor was overjoyed. Who would want to go out and cultivate directly? At least his primary task right now is to return to his peak.
"And what about you?"
Then Ice Emperor seemed to remember something and asked.
"I still have some things to take care of. I'll set off as soon as I've finished setting up the Spirit Array."
Ice Emperor didn't press further; for him, cultivation was still far more appealing.
Three days later.
With a deafening roar, a Grand Array covering the entire Nine Nether Jade Vein slowly unfolded, hovered in the air for a while, and then vanished into the void.
Feeling the rapidly expanding Ice Spirit around them, Xiao Han and the other person nodded in satisfaction.
"This Nine Nether Jade truly lives up to its reputation." The Ice Emperor exclaimed sincerely. With such boundless Spiritual Energy, cultivating here would make breaking through to the Heavenly Supreme within twenty years a real possibility!
????????...
The Spiritual Academy Tournament arena.
Within a vast valley, tens of thousands of participants in the Spiritual Academy Tournament were densely packed on the plain in the center of the valley, divided into two factions, swords drawn, Spiritual Power surging, their sharpness fully revealed.
A somber atmosphere permeated the entire valley, with the leading group naturally being the seeded teams of this Spiritual Academy Tournament — the Five Great Academies.
The leader of the group that was significantly smaller in number stepped forward; it was none other than Bing Yu, the captain of the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy.
Her face was slightly effeminate, and she wore a white-gold robe with long blue hair, giving her an air of alluring charm.
He spoke loudly to the menacing figure ahead:
"What, Qing Hao, did you two Saint Spiritual Academy by chance again today?"
????????"snort!"
The dark blue robe fit his straight and tall figure perfectly, and a small sword-shaped blue pendant hung on his left ear. Far from diminishing the boy's masculinity, it only added to his charm.
Upon hearing this, the young man named Qing Hao snorted coldly, immediately drawing his longsword and pointing the blade directly at the former.
"Bing Yu, I, the Holy Son, will not make things difficult for you. Hand over the key to the Ruins and give up this battle for the Ruins, and I, the Holy Son, will let your Northern Azure Spiritual Academy team leave safely."
Bing Yu did not answer, but turned her head to the two people behind Qing Hao, who were the leaders of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy and Azure Sky Spiritual Academy, respectively.
Xue Qinghuang, the captain of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, has long, fiery red hair that exudes vitality, narrow phoenix eyes that are proud and cold, a straight nose, and thin red lips.
As her name suggests, she is like a proud Phoenix; simply standing in a crowd, she can easily attract everyone's attention.
Li Xuanyi, the captain of the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy, has a completely different style from Xue Qinghuang.
He wore an ordinary black robe, had neat and short black hair, and was playing with a sharp, jet-black dagger in his hand. He squinted his eyes and wore a gentle yet mysterious smile. He was so conspicuous that he was almost unnoticed in the crowd.
"Could you tell me about your two families' plans for the Spirit Hall?"
"Don't tell me that you, as members of the Five Great Academies, need to bow down to the Saint Spiritual Academy." By the end of her sentence, Bing Yu's tone was already somewhat contemptuous.
The way the two are positioned reveals that the joint operation by the three factions to besiege the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy was clearly led by the Saint Spiritual Academy, which is truly puzzling.
Aren't they afraid that this will get back to their respective spiritual academies and they'll be ridiculed? Even their Dean won't let them off the hook.
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyi remained calm, simply replying with a smile:
"Captain Bing Yu, rest assured, I have no intention of betraying the academy. As for the reason..."
"It's unspeakable, unspeakable!"
Xue Qinghuang, however, was far less polite; her expression was extremely unpleasant, and she spoke with a fierce tone:
"Your Northern Azure Spiritual Academy did the good deed yourself, and now you're asking our Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy about it?"
"Go ask that chubby kid from your Northern Azure Spiritual Academy yourself!"
???????? Um?!?
Bing Yu and the others were stunned, their eyes filled with deep doubt. They had only planned to talk back and stall for time, but it turned out there was actually more to the story!
They exchanged glances and said:
"Little Fatty, could it be that kid Li Tianqiong?"
"It should be... right? I just don't know how I offended the captain of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy."
"This hatred runs so deep!"
Some people were deeply moved, wondering how their team, which had caused such a stir on the field, could be outdone by a chubby kid with a quick wit.
"What if someone framed us? We can't just believe the one-sided story of the captain of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, can we?"
"That's right, with such a deep grudge, it couldn't possibly be that the little fat guy seduced and then abandoned someone from the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, could it?" someone casually joked.
After saying that...
An eerie silence!
🎉...
A flock of crows flew over the five people.
"Could it really be true?" The man swallowed hard.
"Absolutely not!" x4
