62: Chapter 62 Anxiety in My Heart

This person was none other than Lin Xiao, who was ranked in the top ten for combat power in the Outer Sect. He held great prestige among the Outer Sect Disciples and was an existence that countless newcomers looked up to.

A thin and small figure ran over eagerly, bowing his waist with a smile that was fawning to the extreme; it was Sun Hao.

He cautiously approached Lin Xiao, not even daring to breathe loudly, his posture lowered even more than the dust.

"Brother Xiao, you've worked hard. Why don't you take a break?"

Sun Hao rubbed his hands together, his tone so respectful it was almost sycophantic. His small eyes darted around, full of calculation.

Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of impatience crossing them as he gave him a faint glance.

"If you have something to say, say it. Don't be an eyesore here."

He didn't care about Sun Hao, a newcomer who had just entered the Sect, at all. If it weren't for the fact that Sun Hao seemed tactful enough, he wouldn't even have the mind to pay him any attention.

Seeing this, Sun Hao hurriedly pulled out a bulging cloth bag from his robes and presented it to Lin Xiao with both hands, bowing even lower.

"Brother Xiao, just a small token of appreciation. Fifty low-grade mysterious stones for you to buy Medicinal Pills to Cultivate. This time, your younger brother has truly reached a dead end. I beg Brother Xiao to seek justice for me!"

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over the cloth bag. Feeling the rich Mystic Power fluctuations inside, the impatience in his eyes faded slightly.

Fifty low-grade mysterious stones were quite a fortune for an Outer Sect Disciple.

With a flick of his finger, he tucked the cloth bag into his robes, his tone still indifferent: "Speak, who bullied you?"

"It's Ye Yun! That newcomer from our dormitory, Ye Yun!"

Sun Hao immediately perked up and began to distort the facts, tearfully blackening Ye Yun's name.

"Brother Xiao, that Ye Yun is simply heinous! As soon as he entered the Sect, he snatched my bed and hit me. When I tried to reason with him, he even spoke arrogantly, saying that all the old Disciples of the Outer Sect are trash, and that your top ten ranking in the Outer Sect is just an empty title, completely unworthy of standing in the Outer Sect!"

Sun Hao spoke with great emotion and gritted teeth, as if he had truly suffered a great grievance.

He depicted Ye Yun as an arrogant and unreasonable villain.

Lin Xiao's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of anger welling up in his eyes.

What he hated most was people looking down on him. A brat who had just entered the Sect dared to slander his prestige?

"Oh? Did he really say that?" Lin Xiao's voice turned cold.

"It's absolutely true! I dare to guarantee it with my life!"

Sun Hao nodded hurriedly, continuing to fan the flames.

"That Ye Yun relies on having a bit of cultivation to run rampant in the Outer Sect, looking down on everyone. I really couldn't take it, but I can't beat him. I can only beg you, Brother Xiao, to take action and teach this kid who doesn't know the height of the heavens a lesson, so he knows the rules of our Outer Sect!"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and asked nonchalantly: "What is his cultivation level?"

Sun Hao's eyes darted around, deliberately hiding the fact that Ye Yun had a Breakthrough to Great Martial Artist First Level, and said hurriedly.

"Reporting to Brother Xiao, he is just at the 10th Stage of Martial Master Realm Peak! He just luckily had a Breakthrough when entering the Sect. Before you, Brother Xiao, he's not even fit to carry your shoes!"

Hearing this, a contemptuous sneer curled at the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth.

"10th Stage of Martial Master Realm Peak?"

He hasn't even touched the threshold of a Great Martial Master, yet he dares to be arrogant in the Outer Sect?

And even dares to slander him?

He's simply seeking his own death.

"Fine, I understand."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, his tone carrying the certainty of victory.

"Tomorrow, I will go find him and give this arrogant newcomer a good lesson, to let him understand that the Outer Sect is not a place where he can run wild."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao! Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Sun Hao was overjoyed, trembling with excitement, and bowed repeatedly.

"Brother Xiao is so righteous, I am endlessly grateful! That Ye Yun is just trash. Once Brother Xiao takes action, he will definitely kneel and beg for mercy!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand impatiently: "Get out, don't disturb my Cultivation."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll get out right now!"

Sun Hao scurried away. The moment he turned around, the fawning on his face instantly turned into a sinister sneer, with venomous resentment flashing in his eyes.

Ye Yun, tomorrow Brother Lin Xiao will come and crush you to death. Let's see how arrogant you can still be!

...

Ye Yun and Zhao Hu had just pushed open the dormitory's wooden door.

The five people inside—Zhou Wen, pleural, Zhang Yuan, Chen Mo, and Liu Hao—immediately surrounded them, their faces full of worry as they spoke all at once.

"Brother Ye Yun, we've all heard! You have a Life-and-Death Battle with Wang Peng the day after tomorrow?!"

Zhou Wen's face turned pale, and he stomped his feet in anxiety.

"How could you agree to him?! That's the Life and Death Stage. Once the contract is signed, even if you're beaten to death, it's for nothing!"

"That's right, Brother Ye Yun. Wang Peng's brother is an Inner Sect Disciple. We can't afford to offend them!"

On pleural's honest face was full of anxiety.

"Why don't you go apologize to Wang Peng, give him the Martial Skill, and cancel the Life-and-Death Battle!"

"A Life-and-Death Battle is no joke. Wang Peng is too black-hearted. You've just entered the Sect, you're simply not his match!" Zhang Yuan also hurriedly advised.

Each of them spoke one after another, all with sincere concern.

Although they had only lived in the same room for a day, they had already regarded Ye Yun as their own brother and didn't want to see him lose his life for nothing.

Seeing everyone's anxious appearance, Ye Yun felt a warmth in his heart and waved his hand with a smile.

"Senior Brothers, please rest assured. I know what I'm doing. Wang Peng can't do anything to me. In the Life-and-Death Battle the day after tomorrow, I will not only win but also make him pay the price for his arrogance."

His tone was calm, yet it carried a convincing power.

Looking at the certainty in his eyes, the crowd didn't know how to persuade him for a moment and could only sigh one after another, full of anxiety.

Zhao Hu also sighed heavily.

"Fine, fine. Since it has come to this, further words are useless. For the Life-and-Death Battle the day after tomorrow, the six of us brothers will all go to cheer for you. Even if we can't help, we can at least bolster your momentum!"

"Thank you, Senior Brothers."

Ye Yun cupped his fists, said no more, walked straight to the bed by the window, sat cross-legged, and intended to Cultivate peacefully.

He placed the Setting Sun Fist by his side, closed his eyes, and circulated the Tai Xuan Hehuan Scripture, letting the Mystic Power flow slowly through his Meridians.

But after just a moment, Ye Yun's brows furrowed tightly.

Without Dual Cultivation and without the System's critical hit amplification, his Mystic Power growth speed was as slow as a crawling turtle!

Previously, when he was in Dual Cultivation with Liu Ruyan and Su Wanqing.

The System would trigger a critical hit, his Mystic Power would surge, and his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, soaring from the Martial Artist Realm all the way to the 10th Stage of Martial Master Realm—it could be called godspeed.

But now, cultivating alone and relying solely on the circulation of his own Cultivation Technique.

The growth speed of his Mystic Power was not even one percent of what it was during Dual Cultivation; it was simply slow enough to drive one crazy.

"This can't go on!" Ye Yun felt a secret urgency in his heart, his fingertips tightening slightly.

The day after tomorrow, he would have a decisive battle with Wang Peng. Although he was confident in winning, if he could take another step forward in these two days and raise his cultivation to the Great Martial Artist - 2nd Stage, his chances of winning would be even greater.

But without a woman for Dual Cultivation, his cultivation speed was knocked back to its original form, making the sense of anxiety in his heart stronger and stronger.

"Wanqing is still at the Su Family, and distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst..."
