Wang Hao and Lin Feng were both promoted

"Of course it's formidable!"

Li Changfeng said solemnly, "This is a Saint Body! It's much more powerful than a Heaven-grade physique!"

"Although the Ice Marrow Sacred Body is only a low-grade among Saint Bodies, its power is still terrifying. Didn't you see just now? Shen Bingqing only got slightly angry, and her ice-element aura spread for several miles."

"And that's with Shen Bingqing's Cultivation Level being relatively low, not fully unleashing the power of the Ice Marrow Sacred Body. If her Cultivation Level were higher, the ice-element power she'd unleash would definitely be even stronger!"

At this point, Li Changfeng's face was full of worry.

He looked at Xiao Ming, then sighed and said, "If Shen Bingqing were just an ordinary half-step Divine Sea Realm, I wouldn't be too worried. With your strength, dealing with an ordinary half-step Divine Sea Realm shouldn't be a problem."

"However, Shen Bingqing possesses the Ice Marrow Sacred Body, which makes her very difficult to deal with."

After a pause, Li Changfeng said wistfully, "I spoke too boldly just now, saying I would suppress the True Martial Sword Sect. But with Shen Bingqing's appearance, it would be good enough if our Spirit Sword Sect isn't utterly defeated by them."

"Sigh, how can that old scoundrel Zhou Tianquan be so lucky? He actually took in an Ice Marrow Sacred Body, and she's grown so quickly..."

Li Changfeng sighed repeatedly, his face etched with worry.

Xiao Ming, however, felt no pressure.

The Ice Marrow Sacred Body was merely a low-grade Saint Body. While it was indeed powerful, compared to his supreme Five Elements Saint Body, it was still not worth mentioning!

Even if Shen Bingqing was a half-step Divine Sea Realm, Xiao Ming had full confidence in defeating her!

After some thought, Xiao Ming said, "Master, there's no need to worry. I am confident I can deal with that Shen Bingqing, and let the True Martial Sword Sect see that our Spirit Sword Sect is not to be trifled with!"

"I hope so..." Li Changfeng patted Xiao Ming's shoulder, the worry in his eyes easing slightly.

In the time that followed.

Li Changfeng first dealt with the Iron Winged Eagle problem, then took Xiao Ming and the others to find the Qingtian Sword Sect's steward to register.

After registration, everyone was led to their temporary lodging.

"That's all for today," Li Changfeng said, "You all rest well tonight and prepare for the Eight Sects Tournament tomorrow. Remember, no matter which sect you encounter, you must not let your guard down!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Everyone entered their respective rooms, but soon after, Xiao Ming and Hu Yunxi found themselves in an awkward situation.

Because the two of them were assigned to the same room, and there was only one bed.

Although Hu Yunxi possessed overwhelming power and acted domineeringly, in this situation, her pretty face blushed crimson with shyness.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming proactively said, "You sleep on the bed. I'll make a makeshift bed on the floor; it'll be fine."

"Okay." Hu Yunxi lowered her head slightly and said softly.

At this moment, she seemed to have transformed back into her former obedient maid persona.

After some thought, Xiao Ming said again, "There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"You are too stunningly beautiful, too capable of attracting others' attention," Xiao Ming sighed and said, "The Qingtian Sword Sect has many people and many gossips, and it's not our territory. If this continues, your astonishing beauty will definitely attract some unnecessary trouble."

"So, can you use some means to diminish your beauty?"

Xiao Ming wasn't afraid of trouble; he just disliked having his energy consumed by various trivial matters, hence his question.

"Diminishing my appearance? How difficult can that be!"

Hu Yunxi smiled casually, and then a thick pink mist emanated from her body, enveloping her entire form, as if she were taking a sauna.

A few seconds later, the mist dissipated.

Hu Yunxi had undergone a significant transformation; her facial features, figure, temperament, and all other aspects were much more ordinary than before.

However, this ordinariness was only relative.

Compared to ordinary women, she was still an extremely alluring beauty, just not as eye-catching as before.

"Excellent! This way, we won't be so high-profile," Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction, then said, "It's already nighttime. You should rest early."

"What about you, Young Master?"

Xiao Ming sat cross-legged on the floor and said, "There's still one night left; I need to continue cultivating!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ming pulled out a large pile of cultivation resources from his ring, picked up a few pills, and tossed them into his mouth.

The position he had reached today wasn't solely reliant on the System's power!

The System was certainly important, but his diligent cultivation was equally important!

No one can succeed casually... well, except for Sons of Destiny like Hu Yunxi, who can improve their strength just by sleeping and dreaming... As Xiao Ming closed his eyes to cultivate.

In Wang Hao's room.

At this moment, Wang Hao was meticulously wiping his personal dragon sparrow blade. As he wiped, Wang Hao suddenly noticed something unusual about the blade.

"Huh? There's a secret inside the dragon sparrow blade?"

"This is... a Heaven-grade blade technique, Dragon Slaying Art?"

After a moment.

A majestic aura surged from Wang Hao's body. He had a connection with heaven and earth, about to advance to the middle Danhu Realm!

...Meanwhile.

Lin Feng left his room and went to a secluded area of the Qingtian Sword Sect.

"What kind of Qingtian Sword Sect is this? They don't even have a latrine, forcing me to walk so far to use the restroom. How troublesome."

Lin Feng grumbled as he walked back the way he came.

As he walked, he suddenly discovered a strange stone wall.

"Why is this stone wall a fiery red color? It looks like it's filled with intense flames. I'll go check it out!"

A moment later.

"This is the Essence of Fire!" Lin Feng exclaimed, both surprised and delighted.

"And this Great Sun Heavenly Illumination Art is actually a Heaven-grade fire-element cultivation technique?!"

Lin Feng said excitedly, "I just came to use the restroom, and I never expected such a rich fortuitous encounter. Heaven has been kind to me!"

Glancing around, Lin Feng found no one else nearby, so he directly sat cross-legged on the spot, consumed the Essence of Fire, and began cultivating the Great Sun Heavenly Illumination Art.

After some time.

A powerful aura surged from his body. Lin Feng also advanced to the middle Danhu Realm.

Not only that.

He also used the cultivation technique and the Essence of Fire to melt his Earthly Nether Sword Physique, thereby forging a Heaven-grade physique, the Great Sun Fire Body.

"Heaven-grade physique, Heaven-grade cultivation technique!" After finishing his cultivation, Lin Feng fiercely swung his fist, exuding high spirits, "Now, I am no worse than Wang Hao!"

"Although there's still a bit of a gap with Vice Sect Leader Xiao, I believe that one day I will surpass him!"

"Haha, I knew it! I, Lin Feng, am blessed with good fortune; I couldn't possibly remain mediocre forever. This Eight Sects Tournament, I will definitely make a name for myself!"

After venting his excitement, Lin Feng collected his thoughts and quietly returned to his lodging.

As if nothing had happened.
