He never expected that Ting Yan had actually formed her Golden Elixir!

  A pure female cultivator in the Golden Elixir stage, allowing him to harvest a torrent of Primordial Yin energy as vast as a ke.

  Fortunately, he possessed a bck hole, capable of st a rge amount of Yin energy, so it wouldn't go to waste!

  Afterwards, he returo his residend learhat Ning Qingxue and Lu Buping had successfully formed their Golden Elixirs, and they were rare o that.

  This was a great joy, and along with the intelligence Lin Hao had gathered about the demon and monster s, it was all reported to the sect.

  As fellies, others had successfully formed their Golden Elixirs on their first try, and while Lin Hao was happy for them, he couldn't help but feel a bit dowed.

  However, he was fident that after this period of accumution, he would surely succeed in f his Golden Elixir on his attempt.

  Moreover, its quality would not be inferior to Ning Qingxue's.

  The night passed without i.

  The sed day of the Tianjiao Battle.

  Xuan Yi had a match, s Qinxue led the team to the arena early.

  Just like yesterday, the arena was still packed with people today.

  Mainly because the Heavenly Sword Sect had four matches, drawing a lot of attention.

  Especially the white-robed swordsman Guan Yue and Fairy Jinghong, each having a rge following.

  In the first match, Suo Chao from the Heavenly Sword Sect faced Zhao Yuan from Wujigong.

  Looking at the two on stage, Lin Hao frowned slightly. The testant from Wujigong seemed listless, as if suffering from hidden injuries.

  Could it be that he failed to form his Golden Elixir, causing his cultivation to fall?

  Thinking of this, Lin Hao prepared to pce a bet on the Heavenly Sword Sect to win, but Zhao Yuan directly admitted his failure to form the Golden Elixir and ceded.

  Lin Hao eechless. Couldn't he have a bit of bae? Why give up as soon as he got on stage!

  Uo seize the opportunity, Lin Hao was quite upset.

  He could only wait for the seatch to see if there was a ce.

  In the seatch, Li Jinghong faced Wu Tian from the Lieya.

  Li Jinghong's odds were very low, so Lin Hao decided to bet half of his spirit stones on him, hoping to earn a thousand spirit stones if he won.

  Even a mosquito is meat!

  The battle began, and Li Jinghong had indeed formed his Golden Elixir, while his oppo Wu Tian had not.

  Without any surprise, Li Jinghong won easily!

  Having missed two suitable betting opportunities in a row, Lin Hao sighed and could only watch the third match.

  In this match, Ting Yu from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers faced Sun Heng from the Lieya.

  Seeing Ting Yu, who resembled Ting Yan by y pert, Lin Hao couldn't help but recall st night's passionate enter.

  If only the little fox had brought both sisters together st night, it would have been a blessing beyond measure.

  Lin Hao had never seen Sun Heng in a, so he dared not bet rashly, even though he emotionally leaowards Ting Yu winning.

  But when it es to betting, one ot aotions.

  The leader of the Lieya's team, his old faearly as dark as a pot's bottom, was frustrated. Of the five prodigies he brought, only the Peach Blossom Bde Immortal had advanced so far.

  This time, they couldn't afford to drop the ball again, or he would surely be ughed at by the upper echelons of other sects.

  However, his prayers went unanswered.

  The battle began, and both had formed their Golden Elixirs.

  Yet Ting Yu didn't expend much effort to secure victory.

  As this peerless beauty stepped down from the stage, many admirers wao show their affe.

  However, the beauty walked straight towards the Xuan Yi's camp.

  "Lin Hao, how many spirit stones did you win this time?" Ting Yu asked Lin Hao.

  "Uh..."

  Lin Hao rubbed his nose and said, "I didn't pce a bet this time."

  "Hmph! I thought you would bet oo win, but you didn't. You really don't trust me!"

  Seeing the fairy in his heart ag coy in front of another man, many admirers couldn't help but feel jealous.

  However, Lin Hao had demonstrated impressive bat prowess yesterday, so no one dared to cause trouble for him.

  Only Ning Qingxue gave him a gre and quietly distanced herself, as if trying to draw a liween them.

  The leader of the Lieya's team stormed off the arena in anger.

  He had brought five prodigies, and now only the Peach Blossom Bde Immortal remained. How could he not be furious!

  Why stay here?

  To be mocked by others?

  Watg that furious figure, Murong Qinxue was quite pleased.

  The Lieya was almost pletely defeated; what could be more worth celebrating than this?

  Now, she only hoped that Lu Buping could advance smoothly, so the entire Xuan Yi would advance, dealing another heavy blow to the Lieya.

  Under Murong Qinxue's expet gaze, Lu Buping stepped onto the stage.

  Without a word, Lin Hao bet fifty thousand, wagering on Lu Buping's adva.

  But the odds were low.

  Because everyone khat in the Xuan Yi's inner sepetition, Lu Buping was the top of the inner sect, havied Ning Qingxue.

  Iianjiao Battle, Ning Qingxue had performed so brilliantly, Lu Buping would be even stronger.

  And in this match, Lu Buping's oppo was Yuan Ning from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

  Not very famous, so almost everyone believed Lu Buping would win, hehe low odds.

  Lu Buping sat cross-legged oage and said calmly, "If you break my defense, you win."

  "Hah!"

  Yuan Ning sneered, anger fshing in his eyes.

  Ignorant fool!

  Are all the people from Xuan Yi sant?

  Lu Buping's voice wasn't too loud or too soft, and many present heard it, each reag differently.

  "This... is really arrogant. I thought Lin Hao was arrogant enough, but I didn't expect Xuan Yio have someone even more arrogant!"

  "I didn't expect the prodigies Xuan Yi sent this time, though few in number, are truly strong."

  "Don't be so quick to clude. I think this Lu guy is just a braggart."

  "Who does he think he is? The Heavenly Sword Sect's swordsmanship focuses on offense; how could it not break his defense!"

  ...

  People were buzzing with discussion.

  Yuan Ning drew the sword from his back, then mobilized his spiritual power, saying proudly, "Arrogant thief, you say I 't break your defense, so do you dare to take my three strikes?"

  "If you take my three strikes, I'll cede right away!"

  Lu Buping sighed, shook his head, and said, "There are many who don't know themselves in this world. Go ahead. If your moves make me move, I'll sider it my loss!"

  Yuan Ning grew angrier and suddenly unleashed the Heavenly Sword Sect's sword teique, attag Lu Buping!

  Sword energy surged, killing i overwhelming!

  This was the might of the Golden Elixir stage!

  The onlookers were all amazed. Yuan Ning had formed his Golden Elixir, and this Lu madman was definitely doomed!

  The Heavenly Sword Sect's swordsmanship was unparalleled in its ferocity, and now that Yuan Ning had formed his Golden Elixir, and was attag a stationary target, there was no reason he couldn't break the defense.

  Everyone was eagerly anticipating Lu Buping being sshed to the point of spitting blood!

  However, the astonishing sword energy was blocked a foot away from Lu Buping's body!

  g!

  A metallig!

  In front of Lu Buping sat a golden body, identical in appearao him.

  "A golden body!"

  Everyone present, except for those from Xuan Yi, was shocked!

  A golden body!

  This divine ability inated from the Western Lands, extremely difficult to master, relying on fate, and Lu Buping had actually mastered it!

  Moreover, the aura it emitted was also of the Golden Elixir stage!

  This meant Lu Buping had also formed his Golden Elixir!

  People immediately favored Lu Buping.

  Having failed to achieve anything with one move, and hearing the surrounding discussions about the golden body, Yuan Ning's face turremely ugly, and he quickly sshed again.

  This time, the sword energy was even more astonishing, yet still failed to break the defense!

  Unwilling to accept this, he sshed again!

  Still no breakthrough!

  Damn it, he was almost in a frenzy, raising his sword to ssh again, but the golden body suddenly opes eyes.

  "Three moves have passed, and you still won't cede?"

  Lu Buping's voice was like a great bell, deafening to those who heard it.

  Should he cede?

  No, he couldn't just cede like this!

  Victory a are all that matter; as long as I defeat him, no one will say anything.

  Yuan Ning steeled his heart and unched a surprise atta Lu Buping, thinking that as long as he had enough patience, he could definitely win!
