”Good. I will be waiting for you at noon tomorrow. See you at the arena. If you don't show yourself, I promise you will become the biggest joke of the academy,” said Da Zixuan with a sneer. He then prepared to leave.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun said, ”Big Brother Tang, you don't need to bother yourself with a small fry like this. Let me deal with him.”

Tang Longfei looked at Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment. He could see that Xiang Shaoyun wasn't joking, but he still refused, ”No. Let me deal with this myself.”

”That can't do, Big Brother Tang. You will be sullying your ident.i.ty dealing with him personally,” said Xiang Shaoyun resolutely.

Da Zixuan was infuriated as he roared, ”b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you're courting death!”

”You're the one courting death. I will fight you. You are not worthy of fighting my Big Brother Tang,” Xiang Shaoyun shouted back.

”Very well. Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish. You will die a horrible death tomorrow,” said Da Zixuan before he left.

After Da Zixuan left, Tang Longfei looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”Shaoyun, is there a need for that? I know you're strong, but I'm no weakling. It won't be hard to defeat him.”

”Big Brother Tang, if you agree to the fight, you will fall right into his trap,” Xiang Shaoyun said. ”The only reason he has challenged you is not to defeat you. Instead, he is trying to make it impossible for you to partake in the test.”

Tang Longfei sank into thought before he was. .h.i.t by a realization. ”What a treacherous person. Fine, you have to watch out, and don't force yourself over your limits.”

The purpose of the challenge was simple. On the arena, regardless of the final outcome of the battle, Da Zixuan only needed to inflict injuries on Tang Longfie severe enough that pa.s.sing the test would be extremely hard. It would be different if it was Xiang Shaoyun accepting the challenge. Regardless of the result, he was already a special-recruit disciple.

Everyone returned to their rooms with mixed emotions. Xiang Shaoyun directly entered a state of meditation. The coming battle was one he couldn't be careless with, as he would use it to establish his reputation. It was not that he was vain, but he still needed to establish some dominance. Otherwise, everyone would think that they were weak and could be easily bullied.

Xiang Shaoyun had grown considerably in strength, but he had yet to reach the eighth stage of the Skysoar Realm. But he had already reached the peak of the seventh stage. It wouldn't be long before he could advance.

Prior to this, his second fusion with Yun Flame had caused his strength to skyrocket. In fact, he had had a chance to enter the eighth stage during the fusion, but he had forcefully suppressed it. As his stars had expanded in size, he would attempt advancement after acc.u.mulating more energy. In any case, further compressing his foundations would not bring him any harm. In the long term, this act would even bring him benefits. Strands of astral energy converged on him from the night sky at a speed more than five times faster than before. He had only noticed after a night of meditation.

So there is even an Astral Gathering Formation here? Looks like they are really treating us nicely!

In the morning, Xiang Shaoyun left the room and met up with Tang Longfei and the others before heading to the hall to have their meal. But when they arrived, they found that a lot of people were looking at them with odd gazes. When they sat down, they overheard sounds of discussions. It seemed like the people present had found out about the battle between Da Zixuan and Xiang Shaoyun.

”Looks like they intend to thoroughly turn me into a laughing stock,” said Tang Longfei furiously.

”We still don't know who will end up as the laughing stock yet,” Xiang Shaoyun sneered.

”Regardless, you have to be careful, Young Master Xiang,” said Ning Wenhuang solemnly.

”Um. I won't underestimate any opponent,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

After finis.h.i.+ng their meal, they were about to head to the arena when someone suddenly rushed over, ”Young Master Xiang, I've finally found you. This is great!”
