177: Chapter 179 Then what is this? A token of love?

Before Lin Kuang could reply to Ji Chanxi, Yu Xiaotang was the first to respond angrily.

"Oh, my. Look at this shameless person, constantly pestering someone else's Dao Companion and saying such things..."

"I bet nobody wants you! Do you think everyone is like the Yin Yang Pavilion, obeying your every whim?"

"Honestly, I have to hand it to someone as thick-skinned as you; no matter what happens, you always think you're in the right!"

"Lin Kuang, teach her a good lesson! Don't show any mercy!" Xiao Rou was also displeased with Ji Chanxi.

Hearing Yu Xiaotang's words, Ji Chanxi couldn't help but burst into laughter. "In the Cultivation World, it's normal for the strong to have many wives. Don't stand in the way of your Dao Companion's future path!"

"After all, Dao Companions as narrow-minded as you aren't very common!"

"You... you!" Yu Xiaotang didn't expect Ji Chanxi to be so shameless; she wished she could rush forward and slap her a few times.

"Sister Xiao Tang... enough... Sister Xiao Tang!" Xiao Rou hurriedly pulled her arm and urged, "Sister Xiao Tang, don't interfere with Lin Kuang's match..."

Lin Kuang didn't reply to anyone. He only knew that the opponent likely wanted to test him, and all he could do was demonstrate a man's strength—no, his own strength.

"Enough, words are useless! If you want to spar, then come! Young Miss Ji!" Lin Kuang had already assumed a combat stance.

He was currently in the fourth realm while the opponent was only in the third realm. He had a complete Rank advantage, so Lin Kuang wasn't worried about the outcome of the match.

The battle began. Ji Chanxi was the first to attack, as a black molten flow flew through the air toward Lin Kuang. This was her skill, Dark Dissolution.

It was a molten flow formed from spiritual energy that could inflict a poison debuff on the enemy.

Lin Kuang remained calm and composed. He knew the skill had a poison debuff, but he happened to have high resistance, plus the resistance bonus from his Rank advantage.

He was currently immune to poison, so he took Ji Chanxi's Dark Dissolution head-on.

"What? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?" Ji Chanxi was surprised by how her opponent handled her skill.

"Young Miss Ji, underestimating your opponent is a major taboo! It will cost you in battle!" Lin Kuang lectured her while brushing off his clothes.

"The Cultivation Technique I practice can increase my poison resistance. Combined with the Rank suppression, I am immune to your toxins!"

"What? Poison immunity? I didn't expect you to have such a secret!" Ji Chanxi truly hadn't expected Lin Kuang to be immune to poison.

However, she wasn't flustered at all. Even if her most frequently used skill could no longer damage him, she could still use others.

"Yin Yang Sword Technique—Intercourse!" The long sword in Ji Chanxi's hand turned into soft, ribbon-like kelp strands, surrounding Lin Kuang from the ground.

As soon as Lin Kuang's arms were wrapped by the massive kelp strands, he smelled a sweet fragrance and thought to himself that things were looking bad.

He had forgotten that Ji Chanxi was also from the Yin Yang Pavilion and likely knew those arts of desire. A pink Lust Poison slowly surged into Lin Kuang's body.

However, the flames of the Nine Suns Burning Fire Art quickly purified the toxin.

Ji Chanxi also hadn't expected Lin Kuang's mastery of fire to have reached such a level.

While Ji Chanxi was in shock, Lin Kuang had already broken free from her attack and used Thunder and Lightning to charge toward her.

Seeing this, Ji Chanxi quickly formed hand seals and chanted an incantation. Endless black molten flow enveloped her body; from a distance, she looked like Six Paths Obito hiding inside a Truth-Seeking Ball.

Lin Kuang's attack hit the black sphere and then slid off softly, as if he had struck a sponge.

Sensing Lin Kuang's approach, dozens of spears instantly condensed within the sphere and lunged at him.

"What? The Sword of Nunoboko?" Lin Kuang was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected this skill to be just like Six Paths Obito's, capable of both defense and offense.

"Thunder Armor!" Lin Kuang shouted. Xiao Wu manifested into a physical form and hugged Lin Kuang from behind, and immediately, Lin Kuang's body was surrounded by golden electric currents.

This was the new skill he had comprehended after breaking through to the fourth realm—Thunder Armor!

The powerful force of thunder directly tore the spears apart.

Ji Chanxi also hadn't expected Lin Kuang to possess such a strong protective skill.

"Dark Bomb!" Ji Chanxi smiled slightly. The dark defensive shield behind her suddenly split open with a large gap, and the shield in front of her immediately flashed with a gray light.

"Hmm?" Lin Kuang also realized something was wrong. This thing wasn't a buff, but a projectile skill.

At this distance! It looked like he'd have to take the explosion head-on!

Boom—

Immediately, a violent explosion echoed through the air, and gray smoke covered the sky.

"Lin Kuang?" Yu Xiaotang was also shocked and instinctively wanted to fly over to see if he was alright.

At that moment, Xiao Rou grabbed her arm and pointed behind them.

Yu Xiaotang turned to look and saw Lin Kuang holding his long sword against Ji Chanxi's back. Ji Chanxi smiled slightly and said playfully, "Alright, I lose. You can do whatever you want with me~"

"..."

Lin Kuang said nothing and silently lowered his sword. "I only won because of my cultivation advantage. I hope we can show our full strength at the Xuanyuan Grand Tournament next time!"

Lin Kuang also noticed that the opponent hadn't used any Magic Treasures at all. He would need Ji Chanxi's strength to increase by another level before he could truly judge it.

"Fine, here is your reward!" Ji Chanxi handed Lin Kuang a Spatial Ring, then turned around, transformed into a cloud of black mist, and disappeared before him.

"What is this?" Lin Kuang curiously investigated with his Divine Sense, only to find that it was an empty Spatial Ring!

Then what does this count as? A token of love?

Seeing Ji Chanxi leave, Yu Xiaotang immediately flew toward Lin Kuang! However, before they could celebrate, they noticed many Cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance surrounding the Spiritual Vein.

The three of them looked toward the Spiritual Vein in confusion.

The Yin Yang Pavilion had discovered that there was indeed a powerful Restriction beneath the Spiritual Vein, so they gave up on it and let the Cultivation Alliance clean up their mess.

"What's going on? Does the Yin Yang Pavilion not want this Spiritual Vein anymore?" Xiao Rou watched in confusion as the Cultivation Alliance surrounded the Spiritual Vein.

"The Yin Yang Pavilion likely abandoned this Spiritual Vein directly and let the Cultivation Alliance clean up after them!" Lin Kuang had also figured it out.

"Such a large Spiritual Vein? They just abandoned it like that?" Xiao Rou was very surprised.

"Didn't you notice that this Spiritual Vein is so conspicuous, yet there were no other Cultivators besides those from the Yin Yang Pavilion? This shows that everyone else was wary of it!"

"Now that they've given up, they must find a powerful faction to take over. Otherwise, people would surely come to mine it secretly, which would still trigger the Restriction!"

Yu Xiaotang pulled Liu Ruyan aside. "Little sister, what's the situation here?"

Liu Ruyan glanced at Lin Kuang and the others and immediately smiled. "The Yin Yang Pavilion found a Restriction inside and asked us to seal it off! But it's strange, why are you all here too?"

"Could it be that you all are involved in this too?"

"Yes! Lin Kuang was the one who discovered it!" Yu Xiaotang raised her head happily and patted her chest as she spoke.

"Really? Then I'll have to report this properly to my superiors!"

"Absolutely! Isn't that right, Xiao Rou?"

"Yes!" Xiao Rou nodded. "We discovered it yesterday and even notified Young Miss Ji of the Yin Yang Pavilion."
