Chapter 648: Fire Spiritual Body

“Cut the crap. Wang Meng, take out your wager,” Nuan Muyun demanded, not showing any fear.

Wang Meng took out a jade bottle and said, “There is half a drop of Dragon Marrow in there. Likewise, it can improve the body. It is not inferior to your Monarch Blood Grass. If you win, it is yours.”

The items that the two of them took out were rare treasures worth cities. The sight of these filled the surrounding cultivators with envy.

“Come, let’s go and watch. Let’s see who will win.”

A group of people trailed after Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng into the Proud Son of Heaven Pavilion, walking in a line.

In front of the Sage Wall, cultivators from various places in the Tianwu Domain all looked with disconsolate expressions at the last lantern of the thousand lanterns on the Sage Wall.

As long as one managed to make it into the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking, one would benefit from it. As for these people, while they would have difficulty getting into the top eight hundred or nine hundred, getting the last position was very possible—especially for those who had prepared for many years.

Some cultivators only wanted to appear on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking once, just for a little self-satisfaction; they did not hope to place highly on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking.

However, that final lantern dashed the dreams of these people. They were mercilessly blocked; hence, their woebegone state.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Footsteps came from the distance. From the sound, there were easily a thousand people at the very least.

“Odd, why are there so many people coming to attempt to break into the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking?”

Failing to break into the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking engendered serious internal injuries and damage to the spirit. Under normal circumstances, no one would make an attempt without absolute confidence.

Everyone who wanted to break into the ranking had to think thrice, taking extra caution. Thus, no large group of people would ever come to challenge the rankings.

The cultivators looked over curiously. When they saw the two people leading the group, they could not help the shock in their eyes. After a while, joy bloomed on their faces.

“This is great! Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng are leading people here to challenge the ranking.”

“The people that they brought are definitely not weak. They might even be able to break into the rankings by fifty ranks.”

“What rubbish! Not to mention the Rank 9 sect behind Wang Meng, just the disciple of the Phoenix’s Passion Palace would surely be able to advance by at least a hundred ranks. Otherwise, they would not have allowed them to come and attempt to break into the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking.”

“Ha ha ha! No matter what, they will definitely be able to push Xiao Chen off. Fortunately, I had wisely not rushed into attempting the rankings.”

The cultivators already at the Sage Wall quickly made way, opening a path for Wang Meng and Nuan Muyun. Those who had not rushed into attempting to break into the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking had especially happy expressions.

Nuan Muyun, Wang Meng, and the other cultivators who just arrived felt that the current situation was strange.

After asking around, the newcomers learned of what happened earlier. They looked at the last lantern and instantly felt shocked.

When Leng Liusu heard Xiao Chen’s name, she trembled visibly. Earlier, she thought that it was someone with the same name. However, when she looked at the lantern, the figure in the lantern quickly became larger in her mind, and she eventually saw the white-robed Xiao Chen holding the Lunar Shadow Saber. Now, she was sure of it.

The shock in Leng Liusu’s heart was indescribable. The young bladesman from back then had unexpectedly arrived in the Kunlun Realm. Furthermore, he managed to cause such a commotion in the Proud Son of Heaven Pavilion.

Nuan Muyun frowned slightly and asked, “Liusu, you know this person?”

Leng Liusu blinked a few times. When she was in the outer sect, she had heard rumors of Xiao Chen defeating in quick succession a few of the Phoenix’s Passion Palace’s disciples from their legacy clan.

Afraid that once Nuan Muyun knew about that incident, it would bring Xiao Chen some trouble, Leng Liusu hid the truth, saying, “He seems to be a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.”

“The Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s Xiao Chen, I have some impression of him.”

Leng Liusu could not help but feel that it was strange that her Senior Sister Nuan paid some attention to someone insignificant like Xiao Chen.

Nuan Muyun smiled gently and continued, “I heard Junior Brother Mu mention him before. This Xiao Chen had beaten his brother up miserably in the Sky Dome Realm. If I am not wrong, that saber Qi earlier should be from him.”

When Wang Meng understood what happened earlier, he laughed loudly and said, “Interesting. Unexpectedly, the Sky Dome Realm has someone of this level.

“Very good! I like a challenge. Nuan Muyun, are you going to chase that brat off, or should I do it?”

A crafty look quickly flashed in Nuan Muyun’s eyes. She smiled faintly and replied, “I will let you go first, then.”

Wang Meng chuckled as a strong fighting spirit blazed in his eyes. He declared loudly, “In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse. Ninth Junior Brother, go chase that brat from the Sky Dome Realm down. If you cannot even compare to a lower-realm disciple, you will be greatly embarrassing our sect.”

Wang Meng sounded extremely confident. He had a high opinion of this Ninth Junior Brother. He believed that his junior brother would be able to advance at least a hundred ranks in one breath, so there should not be any problems in taking Xiao Chen down.

Wang Meng’s Ninth Junior Brother smiled proudly. Then, a faint flame appeared on his body as he said, “I will not fail you!”

“Fire Spiritual Body!”

“From the looks of it, that should be a sixty-percent-completed fire Spiritual Body. Otherwise, he would not be so confident.”

“Given this, Xiao Chen will definitely be chased off the rankings.”

Such a scene gave rise to loud exclamations from all around. Several people who saw hope could not resist cheering out loud.

“Hu chi!”

Wang Meng’s Ninth Junior Brother only spent about ten minutes and breezed through the Sage’s foundation test. Everyone watched in anticipation.

Then Wang Meng’s Ninth Junior Brother’s lantern knocked into Xiao Chen’s. His flame figure leaped out and entered Xiao Chen’s lantern.
