200: Chapter 200 Successfully Controlling Leng Die

"Hmph!"

In the viewing stands, Yun Yi's Face turned extremely grim at this moment. His icy gaze swept over the Ninth Division crowd, and he let out a cold snort filled with resentment and unwillingness.

What was supposed to be a straightforward wager had devolved into this. Not only did he fail to obtain the void breaking pill, but he had even lost a person. It was truly a case of going for wool and coming home shorn.

His hatred for the Ninth Division members grew stronger in his heart, and he even began to feel dissatisfaction towards Ning Yuan. He had spoken up to protect Yun Tai, yet Ning Yuan hadn't given him the slightest bit of Face, directly going for the kill.

If it weren't for his fear of Ning Yuan's background and his need for the void breaking pill, he would have slapped him to death long ago. Where would Ning Yuan get the chance to swagger around here?

Hearing Yun Yi's cold snort, Lang Xiaotian and the others beside him paid it no mind at all. With a light chuckle, they all returned to their own seats and sat down calmly.

The looks everyone cast towards Ning Yuan were filled with admiration. If he hadn't acted decisively, Yun Tai might have truly escaped with his life. Now that Yun Tai was dead, a large chunk of the worry in their hearts immediately vanished.

"Ruthless methods, a promising seedling!" Lang Xiaotian praised. In the previous battle, although he used a Secret Technique to boost his Cultivation, his strength was not weak in the slightest. Anyone with eyes could see that his true strength made him invincible within the same Realm.

"So this is the Prodigy of the Ming Dao Sword Sect? I've truly witnessed it today!" Bear Opens Mountain nodded with a sigh. No matter how good the Nine Profound Realm was, it couldn't be compared to the outside world, nor could it Cultivate a Genius of such supreme strength like Ning Yuan.

"Finally, it's over..."

Ning Yuan cast a faint glance below. With a thought, he deactivated the Secret Technique 'Spirit Fusion'. The white bone armor on his body slowly dissipated, his snow-white hair returned to black, and his Soul Transformation Cultivation also fell back to the Nascent Soul stage.

As his Cultivation receded, a sense of emptiness welled up within him. For a moment, he couldn't adapt to his true, original Cultivation level. It seemed that although this Secret Technique had no side effects, the psychologicaldrop still required some time to recover from.

Then, with a movement of his body, he soared towards the direction of the viewing stands. He landed gently on the platform and, under Zhou Lengdie's astonished gaze, walked step by step until he stood before her.

"Isn't your man impressive? Feeling your heart flutter?"

"...No!" Hearing his voice, Zhou Lengdie's wandering thoughts were pulled back. She replied stiffly, but her eyes still couldn't help but reveal a trace of amazement. Clearly, she was still shocked by Ning Yuan's strength.

Having been together for so long, it seemed she had never truly understood Ning Yuan. In front of her, he had always worn an unserious demeanor, leading her to consistently overlook his strength and be deceived by his surface appearance.

Until today, Ning Yuan's performance was like that of a completely different person. Whether it was his composure when facing Yun Tai or his endless stream of methods, it all made her view him in a new light.

To say there wasn't the slightest ripple in her heart was impossible. It was just that in front of Ning Yuan, she always involuntarily said things contrary to her heart—what she thought and what she said were completely different!

"Being stubborn again. Don't think I didn't notice; I saw your expression just now. Denying it is useless!"

"If you saw it, then why did you ask? Are you deliberately making fun of me?" Zhou Lengdie said angrily. This scoundrel was teasing her again, always bullying her like this. Couldn't he just give in a little?!

"How could I be making fun of you? It's just that ten years have passed, and I haven't heard a single nice word from you. It seems I need to intensify my efforts!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, not giving her a chance to retort, he reached out, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and swiftly soared into the sky, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.

During their conversation, the Ninth Division arena battles had already begun in full swing. Each division continuously sent people up to challenge, and the scene quickly became extremely bloody.

To obtain the spring of life, each division sent out their strongest members, striving to ensure nothing went wrong!

Since everyone sent extremely strong individuals, determining a winner wasn't easy. So, to achieve victory, naturally, they went for the kill, and casualties became unavoidable.

Who knows how many would die by the end of the Ninth Division arena battles. However, all of this had nothing to do with Ning Yuan. After all, he wasn't the one who wanted to hold the arena battles; at most, he just let Niu Gao and Hawk DeepGo with the flow agree to hold them, that's all!

...In the Five Elements Universe Realm, inside a room

"Are you trying to bully me again?"

Zhou Lengdie looked warily at the person before her, couldn't help but take a few steps back, her heart pounding like a startled deer. Although it wasn't the first time, each instance made her feel mortified with shame, and afterwards, her whole body would be sore and weak, taking a long time to recover.

"How can this be considered bullying? I'm helping you restore your Cultivation!"

Ning Yuan looked the aloof beauty up and down. She wore a white silk dress adorned with butterfly patterns at the hem. Her long, dark hair cascaded down to her waist, occasionally emitting a faint chill, making herThe whole person is like an ethereal Fairy untouched by worldly affairs.

Seeing her like this, any normal man would probably want to pull this Fairy before him down to the mortal Realm, to stain her with a touch of worldlybreath.

"Look, what's this? This is the 'all beings cold' that I've modified. Its grade can increase along with your Cultivation. Don't you want it?"

With a flip of his palm, a light blue pearl appeared in his hand. Inside was a swirl of pale blue mist, identical to the 'all beings cold' that appeared at Yunlu Terrace, except the cold aura wasn't as intense as before.

This was no longer a third-grade Cold Qi, but a first-grade Cold Qi. After being rewarded by the System, it possessed the samecharacteristic as the azure sea lotus heart fire. Although not a high-grade Cold Qi, it was still a rare treasure. He didn't believe she wouldn't be tempted.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ning Yuan's words, Zhou Lengdie's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened. Her gaze fixed tightly on the pearl containing the Cold Qi, and she instinctively reached out to take it. However, Ning Yuan promptly moved it away, then looked at her with a teasing smile.

She didn't doubt Ning Yuan's words were false. She had seen the azure sea lotus heart fire at Tang Jingyi's place and knew Ning Yuan possessed the ability to modify spiritual flames. Given that, modifying Cold Qi wasn't impossible.

Although she didn't know how he did it, now wasn't the time to investigate. The most important thing was obtaining the Cold Qi. She suddenly realized that Ning Yuan's intention to bid for the Cold Qi was probably laying a trap for her right here.

"Want it? Wanting it comes with a price. As for the price..." At this point, Ning Yuan paused slightly, tossing the pearl in his hand up and down. He raised an eyebrow and said with a light laugh:

"Mhmm! Understand?"

Watching the pearl being tossed up and down, Zhou Lengdie's eyes were full of desire. For someone like her, who Cultivates ice-attribute Cultivation Techniques, the thing she desired most was to possess Cold Qi.

But Cold Qi, like spiritual flames, is something one can only encounter by chance, not seek out. How could it be so easily found? Even if encountered, it might not necessarily be useful.

For example, the third-grade Cold Qi 'all beings cold' was too low in grade, making it aA dispensable existence for high-level Cultivators.

A Cold Qi that couldUpgrade rank along with one's own Cultivation—one could imagine just how attractive it was to her!
