...

The arena was bustling with excitement.

However, the high-ranking officials who were previously chatting and laughing in the stands were now all silent.

The friendship match was over.

And so, tensions started to rise again between each other.

The Ningxue Sword was at the forefront.

His mouth was simply a provocation tool for war.

"Vice Sect Master Xiang..." Ningxue Sword said with a self-familiarity: "Still at the ninth place on the Weapon List? Why not push upwards?"

"I heard you failed in the competition for the position of Vice Sect Master No. 7? Oh dear, how could you be so reckless?"

"At least prepare before making a move!"

"Oh, Vice Sect Master Yu? What a coincidence, you’re listening too? I heard you almost got taken down by Xiang Beidou? Hahaha, how could you be so careless?"

"Vice Sect Master Bi? Hahaha, the name Vice Sect Master Bi, it really makes me laugh just thinking about it. Why choose the name Bi Changhong... Tsk tsk, that would never even cut it in a brothel, it’s really too exhausting..."

The three Vice Sect Masters were fuming, staring at Ningxue Sword like wolves; if possible, they would devour him right now.

But Ningxue Sword didn’t feel unwelcome at all and went to find Duan Xiyang: "Hey, Old Duan..."

With a swish, the White Bone Spear was immediately in Duan Xiyang’s hand, thrusting directly at him.

Ningxue Sword dodged swiftly, his face turning pale: "You’re really going for the kill..."

The momentum on Duan Xiyang burst forth.

The killing aura began to blaze fiercely.

Ningxue Sword darted behind Xue Fuxiao: "Boss Xue, f*ck him!"

Xue Fuxiao smacked him on the back of the head with a resounding clap, angrily saying, "Behave yourself!"

Yu Tianqi sat calmly, saying to Duan Xiyang: "Just scare him a bit."

"If I meet this bastard on the battlefield, I’d be the first to take his life!"

Duan Xiyang glared fiercely: "He’s too despicable!"

Dongfang Sansan didn’t speak, in fact, ever since the King level Battle, he had been very silent.

His silence left Yan Nan feeling completely uncertain.

Why was he silent after the King level Battle? Even obtaining the Soul Condensing Divine Crystal Heart didn’t move him. What was he thinking? What was he questioning?

Yan Nan could neither ask nor intervene; no matter how he responded to Dongfang Sansan’s current attitude, it would be unnecessary meddling!

...

Fang Che was amidst the lavish crowd at the Outer World Mountain Sect, moving effortlessly.

The people as handsome as jade, the young master unmatched in the world.

At this moment, an old saying truly came to life: Passing through a sea of blossoms, not a single leaf sticks to the body.

However, his entire body was filled with a variety of fragrances.

The name of the campus beauty had become all the more fitting.

A subtle fragrance wafted before him, and it turned out to be a young woman in white, with an aloof demeanor, approaching Fang Che: "Brother Fang, please advise me. I am Junior Sister Lan from the Netherworld Palace."

Someone nearby exclaimed in a low voice: "The Holy Daughter of the Netherworld Palace!"

Fang Che was stirred, his expression becoming even more gentle and composed: "Junior Sister Lan, there’s no need to be formal, please."

"Please guide me, Brother Fang."

"I also ask for your guidance, Junior Sister."

This Holy Daughter of the Netherworld Palace, her cultivation was indeed extraordinary. Though she was young, her cultivation was already at the Peak of King level, and the pressure she exerted on Fang Che was almost on par with Wu Shuangfeng and Xiang Dong.

In fact, in the ethereal and unpredictable aspects of her swordsmanship, she even surpassed them.

Fang Che focused, responding with all his might, while smiling: "Junior Sister Lan’s swordsmanship carries the unique aura of the Netherworld Palace; I truly don’t dare to comment lightly."

Lan Xinxue attacked with full force, her face serious and focused: "Brother Fang, don’t hesitate to speak, I watched you giving guidance just now from the side and it was perfect, I’m truly impressed. This is our Netherworld Palace’s Netherworld Swordsmanship, Brother Fang probably hasn’t seen it yet. Allow me to demonstrate all the sword strokes first."

Fang Che gave a warm smile: "Junior Sister Lan is very considerate."

Seeing the sunny smile on his face, like warm sunshine entering her heart, Lan Xinxue’s face suddenly flushed: "Brother Fang, watch closely."

The gleam of the sword unfolded with a flourish.

Fang Che defended with all his strength, while validating his thoughts.

A moment later, Lan Xinxue stopped, composed and at ease, saying: "Please comment, Brother Fang."

Fang Che pondered for a moment and said: "Junior Sister’s swordsmanship is quite impeccable; however, there are some minor discontinuities in the sword forms; with diligent practice, it can be perfected. For instance, these two strokes here..."

As he spoke, he demonstrated, seamlessly and smoothly.

Lan Xinxue accepted it wholeheartedly: "Brother Fang, you are amazing."

Fang Che laughed brightly and cheerfully: "Junior Sister, you’re really flattering me... Haha, and Junior Sister, your swordsmanship somewhat mismatches your own Mental Realm, have you noticed this?"

Lan Xinxue was immediately greatly shocked: "Brother Fang truly is a sacred person. Even this could be perceived."

Fang Che gave a faint smile, profound and unfathomable.

Thinking that your Netherworld Swordsmanship, as the name suggests, is primarily about sending souls to the Netherworld, little girl, you’ve probably never even killed a chicken; being able to showcase that kind of flavor would indeed be strange.

I see nothing unusual; not to mention looking, even guessing with closed eyes, I could figure it out.

"Netherworld Swordsmanship, Junior Sister, you must consider, what is the Netherworld?"

Fang Che said lightly: "First, there must be the Yang Realm, then comes the netherworld; with a netherworld, there is the Netherworld, it is a matter of sequence. Therefore, Netherworld Swordsmanship should be practiced from the aspect of life."

"Just being cooped up within the Mountain Gate, unable to see life outside, you cannot master it; you must see how a person’s life transitions from youth to old age, slowly approaching death, which is approaching the Netherworld."

"From life to death, only then to the Netherworld. You have only seen life, not death, especially an inevitable death. How can you comprehend the true Netherworld Swordsmanship? You need to venture into the Jianghu, and observe life."
