57: Chapter 57 The Yan Family of Yanzhou

"Hmph! You're pretty good at dodging!" Ouyang Ling's attack missed.

She let out a cold snort, "Where did that arrogance of yours go earlier? Why are you only running now?"

The Spiritual Qi beneath her feet surged, and her fist struck straight toward Xiang Tian's face!

Xiang Tian's pupils constricted.

He wanted to use "Dragon Travels Ten Thousand Miles" to dodge.

But he was ultimately half a beat too slow.

"Bang!"

Xiang Tian took the punch solidly in the chest, and his whole body flew backward.

He coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"You... *pfft*... you stinking woman!" He clutched his chest.

His breathing was chaotic, and blood continuously trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Just at this moment.

A soft, sweet female voice came from the System space: "Master! I've had a Breakthrough! I'm in the Martial King Realm now!"

Xiang Tian's spirits lifted.

He sank his consciousness into the System space.

He saw that Baiyu's original three tails had already turned into four.

"That's so timely!" Xiang Tian was overjoyed.

He instantly regained his confidence, "Baiyu, coordinate with me for a wave!"

"Okay, Master!" Baiyu replied happily.

Xiang Tian slowly straightened his body.

He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Ouyang Ling with a defiant gaze: "Woman, that was just a warm-up; now it really begins."

"Stubborn even when facing death!" Ouyang Ling frowned tightly.

She gathered her Spiritual Qi again and rushed up.

But this time.

Xiang Tian did not dodge; instead, he took the initiative to meet her.

His figure rapidly approached Ouyang Ling.

Everyone under the stage thought he was going to fight her head-on.

They all held their breath and focused.

Just at the moment the two were about to clash.

A large white shadow suddenly darted out.

Its speed was extreme, and it slammed into Ouyang Ling!

"Bang!"

The completely unprepared Ouyang Ling was hit solidly in the chest.

The Spiritual Qi in her body instantly went into chaos, and with a "pfft," she spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Her body flew backward.

She fell heavily onto the edge of the other corner of the ring.

"Well done, Baiyu!" Xiang Tian praised with a smile.

"Master, I just advanced to the Martial King Realm, so of course I have to give it my all!" Baiyu wagged her four tails.

She rubbed against Xiang Tian's palm.

Then she asked crisply, "Master, when are we going to do Dual Cultivation?"

"Uh... this... let's not rush." Xiang Tian dryly coughed and quickly changed the subject to stall.

The Ouyang Family Disciples below the stage completely exploded in an uproar, cursing:

"This brat is cheating! He actually hid a Spirit Pet!"

"How despicable! What kind of skill is playing dirty?"

"If you have the ability, fight fair and square! Relying on a Spirit Pet to ambush, what kind of hero is that?"

"If I had this strength, I would definitely go up and beat him until he's looking for his teeth all over the floor!"

"..."

Xiang Tian turned a deaf ear to this.

A Spirit Pet is part of one's own strength.

These people are just unable to accept defeat.

He slowly walked toward Ouyang Ling, who was sprawled on the ground.

He lowered his head and asked, "Baiyu, how much force did you use just now? You didn't kill her, did you?"

"Don't worry, Master, I know my limits. She's just severely injured; she won't die~" Baiyu blinked.

Her tone was certain.

Xiang Tian still crouched down and carefully examined her.

Ouyang Ling's face was pale at this moment.

Bloodstains hung from the corner of her mouth.

Yet her eyes glared at him fiercely.

"Beauty, do you know my power now?" Xiang Tian looked down at her from above.

He reached out to help her sit up, "I really didn't plan to kill you. Look, your mouth is full of blood; how dirty."

Saying this.

He took out a clean handkerchief from his Storage Pouch.

He gently wiped the bloodstains from the corner of Ouyang Ling's mouth with a gentle motion.

Immediately after, he took out a high-grade healing Medicinal Pill.

He handed it to her lips: "Open your mouth, eat this, and your injuries will heal faster."

Ouyang Ling was completely dumbfounded.

This man who had just dealt her a ruthless blow.

How did he suddenly become so "considerate"?

She subconsciously opened her mouth.

The Medicinal Pill was then fed into her mouth by Xiang Tian.

A gentle stream of Spiritual Qi instantly spread throughout her body.

Easing quite a bit of the severe pain.

Just while she was stunned.

Xiang Tian suddenly leaned down.

His warm lips covered hers directly!

Ouyang Ling's pupils constricted.

Her mind went blank.

All her senses were focused on her lips, and her whole body stiffened.

Until Xiang Tian released her.

He licked his lips as if still savoring the taste.

He exclaimed: "Mmm! So fragrant, as expected of a Core Disciple of the Ouyang Family, even the blood is sweet~"

She only then reacted.

Her cheeks instantly flushed bright red, both ashamed and angry.

She roared: "You dog thief! Give me back my first kiss! I'll kill you!"

"Oh? Want to kiss back? No problem~" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.

He deliberately leaned his mouth over, "Come on, I'll give you the chance, just kiss me back."

"You... you shameless!" Ouyang Ling was shaking with anger.

Yet she had no strength to fight back.

Seeing this.

Xiang Tian couldn't help but reach out and pat her butt.

Then he casually teased: "Tsk tsk, not round enough, still needs development."

With this.

Ouyang Ling's body completely froze.

The hatred in the depths of her eyes almost solidified into substance.

"Baiyu, let's go!" Xiang Tian stopped teasing her.

He withdrew Baiyu back into the System space.

His figure flashed, and he instantly leaped off the ring.

He sped off in the direction of Changting Peak.

"Dog... thief... I will definitely kill you!" A sky-shaking roar came from Ouyang Ling on the ring.

Not long after.

Several other Core Disciples arrived upon hearing the news.

Seeing the severely injured Ouyang Ling, they were all shocked.

Among them, a woman dressed in green robes hurried forward.

She helped her up: "Little Sister Ling, how are you? Who hurt you?"

"It... it was that outsider Xiang Tian! And his Spirit Pet!" Ouyang Ling gritted her teeth.

Her voice trembled, "I won't let him go!"

The woman comforted her for a few moments, then took her away in a hurry.

This farce on the ring that shocked the Ouyang Family.

Ultimately came to an end with Xiang Tian's reversed victory.

On the other side, Xiang Tian had already returned to Changting Peak.

This mountain peak was named after his aunt Xiang Ting and uncle Ouyang Feng.

Just as he entered the door.

He saw Xiang Ting, Ouyang Yuexi, and Yan Qingyu sitting at the stone table in the courtyard chatting.

"Little Tian, did you have any gains from going to the ring for practice today?" Xiang Ting looked up.

Her smile was gentle.

Xiang Tian scratched his head.

He vaguely replied: "Aunt, it went fairly smoothly."

Xiang Ting's eyes were sharp as she swept a glance at him.

Her expression suddenly changed: "Hmm? In just one morning, your cultivation has actually increased by two levels?"

Ouyang Yuexi and Yan Qingyu, who were beside her, were also full of shock.

"Aunt, it's just two levels, it's nothing." Xiang Tian said nonchalantly.

Xiang Ting looked at him deeply.

Very gratified: "Little Tian, with your talent, in time, it's not impossible for you to contend for the position of Young Lord of the Xiang Family."

At first, she only encouraged Xiang Tian to Cultivate well.

Now she realized.

This child's potential far exceeded her expectations.

Suddenly.

Xiang Ting's eyes lit up.

As if she remembered something: "Right! Three days from now is the day for the Ouyang Family Core Disciples to enter the Secret Realm for training. You should go with them too. The Secret Realm has many Opportunities, which will be of great benefit to your Cultivation."

"Hmm? A Secret Realm for Core Disciples?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.

Ouyang Ling's face, both hateful and beautiful, instantly appeared in his mind.

If they met in the Secret Realm three days later, Ouyang Ling would definitely seek revenge on him.

And since Baiyu succeeded in her ambush this time, the next time the opponent would be on guard.

He might not be able to gain an advantage.

Seeing his hesitant expression.

Xiang Ting teased: "What? Little Tian, you aren't afraid, are you? A real man should bravely venture into the Secret Realm to seek a Breakthrough."

"Aunt, I didn't say I wasn't going!" Xiang Tian waved his hands quickly.

But he was inwardly groaning.

"That's right!" Xiang Ting nodded with satisfaction.

"Rest assured, I will have your uncle arrange it for you, and you can just set off with the Core Disciples then."

"Then Aunt, I'll go Cultivate first, striving to improve my strength before the Secret Realm opens." After saying this, Xiang Tian hurried back to his room.

Watching his departing back, the smile on the corner of Xiang Ting's mouth deepened.

She turned to look at Ouyang Yuexi beside her, "Yuexi, don't you think you and Little Tian are quite a good match?"

Ouyang Yuexi's cheeks turned red.

She snorted coldly: "Mother, why don't you mention that he has so many women around him?"

"Isn't it normal for a man to have a few female confidantes?" Xiang Ting waved her hand, unconcerned.

"Mother, what about you?" Ouyang Yuexi was dismissive.

"That's because your father wasn't as strong as me! Back in the day, when we were at the Tianling Sect, wasn't your father protected by me? If my strength hadn't been greater than his, how would he have been qualified to marry me?" Xiang Ting raised her head.

"Ah? Mother, what exactly is your cultivation?" Ouyang Yuexi asked curiously.

Since she was small.

She had never known her mother's true strength.

Xiang Ting smiled mysteriously: "This, well, it's a secret. When you can stand on your own, I'll tell you."

"If you won't say it, then don't, but why be so mysterious." Ouyang Yuexi muttered.

But she was increasingly curious in her heart.

Xiang Ting did not dwell on this topic anymore.

She turned her gaze to Yan Qingyu, who was sitting quietly to the side.

Her tone was gentle: "Qingyu, you should be from the Yan Family of Yan Province, right?"

Yan Qingyu was stunned, then nodded: "Aunt actually knows the Yan Family?"

"That is natural." Xiang Ting recalled.

"Back when I traveled far and wide, I went to Yan Province, and the Yan Family was the number one major Family in Yan Province. Come to think of it, I once had a fight with Yan Lingtian back then."

"What? You fought with my Second Uncle?" Yan Qingyu was full of shock.

"My Second Uncle... he has long since reached the Saint Realm!"

"Oh? Yan Lingtian has actually reached the Saint Realm?" A trace of surprise flashed in Xiang Ting's eyes.

Then she returned to calm.

"It's just that my father... sigh."

Yan Qingyu's eyes dimmed, and she did not continue the conversation.

Regarding her father's affairs, she was unwilling to mention much.

Seeing this.

Xiang Ting quickly changed the subject and said gently: "Qingyu, it's okay, from now on Changting Peak is your home. With me here, no one dares to bully you."

Yan Qingyu felt a warmth in her heart and nodded: "Thank you, Aunt."

She looked at the seemingly ordinary young woman in front of her.

She couldn't help but be curious: "Aunt, could your strength... also have reached the Saint Realm?"

Xiang Ting quickly made a hush gesture.

Signaling her with her eyes not to ask more: "Shh... walls have ears, this cannot be said carelessly."

Yan Qingyu quickly shut her mouth.

But her heart was churning with huge waves.

To be able to fight with the Saint-level Yan Lingtian.

And to still make the Ouyang Family so respectful, Xiang Ting's strength is definitely not simple!

And at this time.

Inside the room, Xiang Tian was holding a yellowed ancient book.

On it were written the three large characters "Mount Tai Fist".

He flipped through it several times.

Doubts arose in his heart: "This Mount Tai Fist, why is it called this name? Could it be..."

He shook his head, feeling it was somewhat absurd.
