Chapter 140: Chapter 139 Arrange the Troops and Form the Array

"The cultivation techniques practiced by the ordinary disciples of Emperor Immortal Sect are not as good as those of Lie Tian Academy..."

Ye Xuan sighed softly in his heart.

There was a gap in the quality of their True Qi, which was fatal for cultivators of the same realm.

If today’s event were not an exchange conference but a life-and-death battle, Zheng Jin would have already died horribly on the spot.

"Once this exchange conference is over, I must reorganize the Emperor Immortal Sect," Ye Xuan thought, narrowing his eyes slightly.

If things continued this way, even if the Emperor Immortal Sect had many cultivation resources, they would be of no use.

To completely change the Emperor Immortal Sect, it was necessary to start with every disciple.

Ye Xuan made up his mind.

After the conference, he would select cultivation techniques for the disciples of Emperor Immortal Sect and then preach to them.

All these disciples were at the foundational stages of their cultivation, and there was still a great chance for them to be shaped.

"Zhu Xiaofei."

Ye Xuan called out softly.

"Huh?"

Zhu Xiaofei, still absorbing Zheng Jin’s defeat from behind, was startled when someone called his name.

"Big Senior Brother!"

But when he saw that it was Ye Xuan calling him, Zhu Xiaofei got up respectfully.

"Go and fight," Ye Xuan said.

"Ah?!"

Zhu Xiaofei was momentarily stunned.

His cultivation was only at the Eighth Layer of the Divine Gate Realm, not even as high as Zheng Jin’s!

Everyone else became anxious as well.

"Big Senior Brother, how about I go instead?" Tan Qingshan volunteered.

Ye Xuan shook his head, "Let Zhu Xiaofei go."

Although the others were anxious upon hearing this, they could only compromise.

After all, Ye Xuan was the Big Senior Brother, and as his junior brothers, they naturally had to listen to him.

Zhu Xiaofei’s face turned a bit pale.

"Xiaofei, you can do it!" Xiao Zhan stood up, patted Zhu Xiaofei’s shoulder firmly, and said, "Since Big Senior Brother asked you to fight, it means he has great confidence in you, have you forgotten the fight five days ago?"

Tan Qingshan and others also looked at Zhu Xiaofei with determination.

Feeling everyone’s gaze, Zhu Xiaofei’s expression eased slightly. Looking at Ye Xuan’s back, he took a deep breath, his eyes firmed up, and he whispered, "Alright, watch me avenge Zheng Brother!"

Zhu Xiaofei walked towards the Daoist Platform with determined steps.

Zheng Jin, who had just suffered a crushing defeat, sighed with a dim look in his eyes as he saw Zhu Xiaofei step onto the Daoist Platform.

He didn’t believe Zhu Xiaofei could really win.

The gap was too great.

Whether it was the Spirit of the Void God Realm or the cultivation techniques, they were not on the same level at all.

"Xiaofei, be fierce!" Xiao Zhan loudly cheered for Zhu Xiaofei.

"Oh!" Zhu Xiaofei also roared lowly, psyching himself up.

Zhu Xiaofei took another look at Ye Xuan.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s calm face, Zhu Xiaofei’s nervous heart suddenly became serene.

If the Big Senior Brother had asked him to make a move, then he must indeed have the strength to win!

Stay steady!

Zhu Xiaofei told himself silently.

"Can he really do it..."

On the side of Emperor Immortal Sect, the disciples of the Daoist Platform Realm and Inscriptions Realm, seeing Zhu Xiaofei take the stage, all frowned secretly, lacking confidence.

After all, Wu Ling possessed a Sixth Rank Spirit of the Void Divine Realm, plus he himself was at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Gate Realm.

And Zhu Xiaofei, only possessing a Fifth Rank Spirit of the Void Divine Realm, was at the Eighth Layer of the Divine Gate Realm himself.

The gap between the two was even greater than that between Zheng Jin and Wu Ling.

How could this fight possibly be won?

"Divine Gate Eighth Layer?" Wu Ling was momentarily stunned to see Zhu Xiaofei take the stage. He then laughed, "What, has Emperor Immortal Sect run out of people, to send such trash?"

"Hahahaha————"

The disciples from Lie Tian Academy also burst into loud laughter.

"A Divine Gate Ninth Layer was defeated in one move, and now they send a Divine Gate Eighth Layer, isn’t this just delivering a free kill?"

"It looks like Emperor Immortal Sect truly has no one left."

Many people began to mock openly.

Even the six newly minted marquises sitting in the front row laughed, a hint of disdain in their eyes.

"This year’s exchange conference will be won by our Lie Tian Academy!"

"After securing the victory at this exchange convention, we will be able to go to the Southern Ghost Tomb in five months!"

All six newly minted marquis burst into laughter.

Zhu Xiaofei is only at the eighth layer of the Divine Gate Realm, and unless he possesses a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm of the seventh rank, it is impossible for him to defeat Wu Ling.

But if Zhu Xiaofei really had a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm of the seventh rank, the entire Lie Tian Heavenly Country would have known by now.

All signs indicate that Zhu Xiaofei is just an ordinary cultivator at the eighth layer of the Divine Gate Realm.

How could such an existence fight with Wu Ling, who is at the ninth layer of the Divine Gate Realm?

With his head?

"Junior Brother Lin, what do you think?" Zhang Yanliang, the number one of the younger generation of Lie Tian Academy, scrutinized Zhu Xiaofei seriously and asked Lin Feiyan beside him.

Dressed in a crimson robe with three little cauldrons on his chest, Lin Feiyan’s attire signified his status as an alchemist of the third rank.

Lin Feiyan’s expression remained serene, his eyes unfathomable, making it hard to read his thoughts.

He habitually stroked the string of simple prayer beads on his wrist and said softly, "Pride comes before a fall."

"Pride comes before a fall?" Zhang Yanliang’s mouth curved slightly as he said softly, "Junior Brother Lin is indeed to the point. However, before absolute strength, all pride can be ignored."

Although he greatly agreed with his genius junior brother, who possessed the War God Body, he did not agree with Lin Feiyan’s viewpoint. In the face of true strength, any pride is perfectly normal.

Wu Ling has a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm of the sixth rank, and his strength is greater than Zhu Xiaofei’s. Even if Wu Ling is a bit arrogant, securing the victory should not be difficult.

Lin Feiyan simply smiled slightly, not bothering to argue with Zhang Yanliang.

Sometimes, the things most people agree upon are not necessarily correct.

Just like himself, who was looked down upon in the past, yet he was able to rise against the current and become the number one prodigy of Lie Tian Academy today.

Back then, who had high hopes for him?

Back then, his opponents were full of pride, confident they could easily beat him, but in the end, it was he who emerged as the victor.

For this battle, he favored Zhu Xiaofei of Emperor Immortal Sect more.

Because he saw an indomitable will in Zhu Xiaofei.

That willpower was very similar to his own.

"You’re no match for me, step down on your own, and let those at the peak of Divine Gate Realm come forth."

On the Daoist Platform, Wu Ling, impatient like shooing away a fly, said to Zhu Xiaofei.

"Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhu Xiaofei," ignoring Wu Ling, Zhu Xiaofei announced his name as per the convention rules.

"It seems like you really want me to make a move and send you flying," Wu Ling narrowed his eyes and a touch of malice flashed through them upon seeing Zhu Xiaofei ignore him.

With a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm of the sixth rank, he was considered a minor prodigy within Lie Tian Academy, who would dare defy his words among the ordinary?

Just an eighth-layer Divine Gate Realm cultivator after all.

Boom!

Seemingly sensing Wu Ling’s anger, the Golden Sun Divine Tiger atop the Divine Gate trembled with a terrifying aura that shook hearts.

"Roar!"

The Golden Sun Divine Tiger let out a furious roar, its divine might vast, pressing down like a hundred thousand mountains.

The horrible pressure weighed down on Zhu Xiaofei, causing his shoulders to sink and his body to tremble involuntarily.

"This guy, he’s really strong!" Zhu Xiaofei said with a solemn expression.

Boom!

Under the heavy pressure, Zhu Xiaofei did not cower, instead, he chose to open his own Divine Gate.

In an instant, a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm of the fifth rank—the Earth Element Demon Bear—suddenly appeared!

Roar!

When the Earth Element Demon Bear appeared, sensing the oppressive force of the Golden Sun Divine Tiger, it let out a roar, thumping its chest with its fists, producing a booming sound!

"Wow, this guy actually has a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm of the fifth rank; seems not too bad!"

The students of Lie Tian Academy laughed upon seeing this scene.

"Even a fifth-rank Spirit of the Void Divine Realm is useless, Wu Ling has a sixth-rank Spirit," everyone said, their eyes filled with smiles.

"Is this your capability?" Wu Ling looked at the Earth Element Demon Bear above Zhu Xiaofei’s head and said smilingly with narrowed eyes.

Zhu Xiaofei gripped his flying sword, his expression solemn, not uttering a single word.

"Today I shall turn your demon bear into a bear for laughs!" Seeing Zhu Xiaofei remaining silent, Wu Ling snorted coldly and took the initiative to attack!

Whoosh!

Wu Ling’s speed was incredibly fast, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, using his full strength, quite astonishing!

Roar!

In an instant, Wu Ling’s Golden Sun Divine Tiger merged with him, transforming into a huge phantom of the Golden Sun Divine Tiger, and leapt directly towards Zhu Xiaofei!

Zhu Xiaofei assumed a defensive position, merging with the Earth Element Demon Bear within him, his demeanor calm yet his eyes fiercely sharp.

"A flaw!"

Suddenly, Zhu Xiaofei’s form tensed, and after reaching a critical point, he shot out explosively!

Like an angry dragon emerging from a river.
