Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi sneered upon hearing this, scoffing, "Effort?"

"Your efforts are nothing more than self-deceptive sentimentality in my eyes."

"You'll never know the true extent of asceticism and the price one can pay for it."

With that, Li Guanqi slowly removed his Daoist robe.

His lean body was covered in hideous wounds; no one would have imagined that such a handsome young man would bear so many fatal injuries!

The gruesome, twisted wounds silenced the hall.

From the countless wounds alone, everyone speculated about what the young man before them had endured.

At that moment, no one dared to breathe loudly, let alone retort.

Even Liu Man lowered her head with some guilt upon hearing this, as the disciples of the Fenglei Sect lived far more comfortably than those of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Li Guanqi put on his robe and glanced at Tang Chuan, sneering, "Although I don't know what your purpose is in provoking me."

"Or perhaps… doing so gives you some ego boost, or some kind of vanity."

"But I can tell you, the fact that I can stand here means I'm stronger than you."

Tang Chuan's chest began to heave violently upon hearing this; the more indifferent Li Guanqi appeared, the more he felt that the other party was using his cultivation realm to suppress him.

However, just as he was about to speak, Li Guanqi on the stage spoke first.

"Regardless of the reason, you have disrupted my class, and now no one is paying attention to my lesson."

"In that case, I'll give you the chance to fight on the arena."

Tang Chuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, never expecting that his thoughts wouldn't even need to be voiced, as the other party had already offered him a way out.

Tang Chuan immediately looked around and said, "You all heard it, this wasn't my idea."

Li Guanqi curled his lip and cursed, "Acting like a whore who wants a monument erected to her virtue; just admit it like a man."

"Stop your whining, where is the Sect Arena?"

"Let's make this quick and get back to class."

Liu Man said softly, "Elder Li, allow me to take you there."

Li Guanqi nodded and followed Liu Man to the Sect Arena on the back mountain of the Fenglei Sect.

Tang Chuan, who was stunned in place, didn't expect today's plan to go so smoothly.

It felt like a dream; the other party had directly given him an easy way out without him even saying anything.

After hearing about Li Guanqi's arrival at the Sect, Tang Chuan had been holding back a surge of energy.

He wanted everyone to know that he was stronger than Li Guanqi!

Li Guanqi had only become famous because of the conflict between the Great Xia Sword Sect and the Ziyang Palace.

When Li Guanqi had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, Tang Chuan had already reached the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core Realm.

Therefore, Tang Chuan was the true number one person in the Fenglei Sect!

However, Li Guanqi had just become a guest elder of the Fenglei Sect, and the news had quickly swept through the entire Sect.

Countless people were filled with curiosity about Li Guanqi himself.

This gradually twisted his heart, and a feeling of jealousy spread wildly within him.

Li Guanqi found Tang Chuan's actions somewhat speechless.

The disciples in the Sect would always have some so-called vanity.

Once they heard that someone was stronger than them, they would become increasingly unbalanced and want to show off in front of all the junior brothers and sisters.

However, the disciples in the hall didn't care so much; they only wanted to see a spectacle.

A group of people rushed towards the location of the arena, and more and more disciples joined along the way.

Before long, almost all the disciples in the entire Fenglei Sect who had nothing to do were rushing to the Fengyun Arena.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Fenglei Sect; upon hearing that the newly arrived elder was going to fight the number one inner disciple in the arena, even some elders who didn't have classes came to join in the fun.

The Fenglei Sect's arena had hardly been used for several years; after all, it was difficult for any conflicts to arise in the Fenglei Sect under such an atmosphere.

However, before everyone arrived, someone had already cleaned up the dusty arena.

Li Guanqi looked at the hundred-zhang arena, which was entirely made of hard white jade bricks, and couldn't help but sigh, "The Great Xia Sword Sect's foundation is still too weak… There's no way around it… it's poor."

Swish!!

Li Guanqi appeared on the arena in a flash, which immediately caused bursts of cheers from the surrounding crowd.

However, some elders standing in the void narrowed their eyes slightly.

After all, this move was the signature technique of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, teleportation!

It seemed the rumors were true; the young man before them, who was not even eighteen years old, was truly a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse!!

This caused many people to gasp inwardly; such talent… was terrifying.

Swish!

Tang Chuan landed gracefully on the arena with a very dashing posture, which also drew screams from a group of female cultivators.

After all, Tang Chuan's appearance was not bad, and as the number one inner disciple, he had no shortage of admirers.

However, Tang Chuan suddenly felt that something was not quite right as he listened to the cheers around him.

"Ahhh! You're so handsome!!"

"I'm going to die, oh my god, Elder Li is so handsome!!"

"Wow!!! Is that Li Guanqi? He's so much better looking than Tang Chuan, even if I were blind, I could accept him!"

"Waaahhh Li Guanqi, Li Guanqi!!! I admire you so much!!"

Tang Chuan's face immediately darkened.

He didn't expect that the women who usually fawned over him would all be showing their affection to Li Guanqi at this moment.

Not only that, but those women didn't know where they had gotten the cowhide drums from, and they were beating them.

And those female cultivators were looking at Li Guanqi with sparkling eyes, constantly cheering him on.

This scene made Li Guanqi a little embarrassed; he didn't expect his face to be so popular.

Looking at Tang Chuan's gloomy face, Li Guanqi smiled and said, "I won't bully you; I'll suppress my cultivation realm."

"But… since we're on the arena, there should be some kind of bet, right?"

Tang Chuan sneered upon hearing this, "Of course there must be a bet!"

"Oh? It seems like you've already thought about it; tell me."

A sly look flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes, and he spread his legs and pointed at his crotch, saying, "If you lose, you'll crawl under my crotch and shout that you're a dog!"

A cold light flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes upon hearing this, and he said playfully, "What? Do I have to shout 'Tang Chuan is a dog' while crawling?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, but they quickly realized what Li Guanqi meant, and the crowd below burst into laughter.
