Lin Hao's figure flickered, appearing once more in front of Guan Yue, pointing his sword at his oppo with a cold voice, "You've lost."

  "Why?"

  Guaruggled to stand, his hair disheveled, eyes vat.

  "We're already at the same level, so why 't I beat you?"

  Looking at the deraate of Guan Yue, Lin Hao calmly said, "Because your heart is in chaos."

  "When you decided to rely oernal forces, you had already lost!"

  "Isn't your swordsmanship supposed to be relentless?"

  "Wheakes root in your heart, what do you have to fight me with?"

  Guan Yue gave a bitter smile, "You're right, I betrayed my own swordsmanship. I cede."

  Hearing his oppo cede, Lin Hao finally rexed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Using a sed-grade talisman and his own flesh and blood to withstand his oppo's most powerful move, how could he not be injured?

  Swish!

  Liu Mei jumped onto the stage, supp the pale-faced Lin Hao.

  "Brat, well done."

  Lin Hao managed a weak smile, anxiously saying, "My spirit stones!"

  Liu Mei rolled her eyes, "You're so badly injured, and you're still thinking about spirit stones."

  Lin Hao ughed, "I made a profit of two million!"

  "How I not be happy?"

  To be ho, Liu Mei was envious. Her entire fortune amouo only a million spirit stones.

  Yet this brat had millions!

  He was wealthier than most at the Elemental Infant stage!

  If he weren't one of her own, Liu Mei might have beeed to covet his wealth.

  "Be happy, but don't overdo it with your injuries!"

  Now, Liu Mei was equally pleased.

  Lin Hao had truly brought honor to the sect!

  "True, I o calm down. Help me over," Lin Hao took a deep breath, ready to cim his winnings.

  Two million spirit stones were no small amount; having them in hand would bring peaind.

  With Liu Mei's support, Lin Hao arrived at the betting ter.

  The steward saw Lin Hao a a twit his heart.

  He had been watg the match closely, and the moment Lin Hao won, he knew.

  What must be faced must be faced. He immediately stepped forward to greet, "Friend Lin, you finally arrived. As soon as I heard you woianjiao Battle, I prepared the spirit stones right away."

  The steward spoke well, but his mouth still twitched.

  This was two million middle-grade spirit stones, somethiimated he couldn't earn in a lifetime.

  Yet now, these spirit stones were to be handed over to a dark horse who had suddenly emerged.

  Truly, the world is uable!

  "As long as they're ready," Lin Hao's face lit up with joy.

  Soon, uhe steward's watchful gaze, Lin Hao took away the one huhousa and the two million he won, totaling three million middle-grade spirit stones!

  From now on, he could be sidered someoh a foundation.

  At this moment, anroup arrived, her than the sisters Ting Yan and Ting Yu from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

  "Lin Hao, gratutions oing Guan Yue and winning the championship!" The two women gratuted him openly.

  Winning this championship was indeed signifit, and the two sincerely gratuted him.

  "Thank you," Lin Hao said, then asked, "Did you two win spirit stooo?"

  "We did, we bet on your victory, twenty thousand spirit stones each!" Ting Yu beamed, eagerly tinuing.

  After speaking, her face blushed.

  "Not bad, seems like you two aren't foolish, betting on my victory shows good judgment."

  "Hmph, we've always been smart."

  Ting Yaed, but in her heart, she had high hopes for Lin Hao.

  "Haha... you two are the smartest!"

  Lin Hao ughed heartily, finding these two girls quite amusing.

  "Go cim your spirit stones, I'll head back first."

  "Wait!"

  Suddenly, Ting Yan and Ting Yu spoke in unison.

  "Is there something else?" Lin Hao uzzled; he just wao go bad heal, to recover properly.

  "There is!"

  "We prepared some healing medie for you, please accept it."

  The sisters quickly took out some medies, three or four bottles, with the names and effects of the pills beled on them.

  To be ho, this was truly siderate!

  "Alright, thank you!"

  Sihey were his own women, Lin Hao didn't stand on ceremony and accepted their goodwill. At worst, he'd have his good brothers repay them ime.

  Afterward, Lin Hao left with Liu Mei.

  Beside him, Liu Mei hadn't spoken, truly impressed by this ing guy!

  Silently, he had wohe peerless twiies of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers!

  Watg Lin Hao's departing figure, the crowd in the arena had bright eyes.

  "My hands are itg, should we...?"

  "If you want to die, don't drag me along! Lin Hao is the disciple of the Master Feng of Great Bamboo Peak in the Xuan Yi, I have no such thoughts."

  "Indeed, Lin Hao has both strength and background, why don't I have that?"

  "With your level, you're not even fit to carry his shoes, go train quickly."

  ...

  No matter what, after Lin Hao won the championship, he became famous in Tian Sha City.

  In the near future, more people would know about this dark horse of the Tianjiao Battle.

  Meanwhile, oher side, Murong Qinxue was full of glory, extremely excited.

  She po hold a celebration ba for Lin Hao.

  She began inviting guests.

  First, the leaders of each sect.

  The Valley of Ten Thousand Flreed readily, promising to attend.

  Mu Heng, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, hesitated for a long time but didn't refuse.

  As the leader of an immortal sect, he couldn't be petty or uo afford to lose.

  But the leader of the Lieya had a pletely dark face, rudely responding that he was unavaible, refusing to attend the celebration ba.

  As for the people from Wujigong, they had already left Tian Sha City.

  Afterward, everyone dispersed, each returning to their inn.

  Upourning to the inn, Lin Hao bid farewell to everyone, intending to return to his room to heal.

  Murong Qinxue nodded, having already checked Lin Hao's injuries on the way, firming they weren't severe, and could be healed with pills and two days of meditation.

  Ning Qingxue's room was on the same path as Lin Hao's, so she followed behind.

  When Lin Hao was about to enter his room, she called out to him.

  "Lin Hao!"

  "What is it?"

  Lin Hao turned around, somewhat surprised, and asked.

  "gratutions on winning the championship!"

  Ning Qingxue said.

  "Thank you!"

  Lin Hao thought she had something to say, but it was just to gratute him on his victory, "Is there anything else?"

  Ning Qingxue shook her head.

  "Then I'll go heal, you should too."

  With that, he hurried into his room, uanding that after winning the championship, he would iably face a series of troubles.

  The urgent task was, of course, to recover himself.

  Ning Qingxue looked at the closed door, feeling a bit sour inside.

  What with Lin Hao? He used to be so eager towards her.

  The sudden ess made her unfortable.

  Could it be that she suddenly lost her charm?

  Ning Qingxue felt a bit down but still went back to tinue healing.

  Ba his room, Lin Hao immediately took a Holy Spirit Pill to start healing.

  The moment he swallowed it, he felt a tinuous flow of spiritual energy bursting from the pill.

  This spiritual energy didn't wander aimlessly but instead sought out the injured areas of his body in a peculiar way.

  At the same time, a rge amount of spiritual energy could also replenish his body.

  After meditating for a while, fully abs the pill's power, Lin Hao could clearly feel that his injuries were no longer a .

  If he could have another dual cultivation healing session at night, he would surely be pletely healed by the day.

  "Should I call the sisters over?"

  As he was thinking, a 'fp fp' sound came from outside the window.

  "A carrier pigeon!"

  Lin Hao uzzled, who was sending him a message?

  With a gesture, he caught the paper pigeon.

  Then he opehe letter, which read: gratutions on your victory, the gift is ready, see you at the usual pce!

  PS: Thank you all for yifts, I'm very touched by the support. The book was locked twid forced to ge its title, which was a huge blow, but now it's all thanks to the strong support of you loyal readers!
