55: Chapter 55 Xiao Yunzi, break his dog legs
"Tsk tsk, Shangguan Wenxuan's destiny value is actually as high as 44,100."
"It's likely due to the national destiny bestowed upon him, but I wonder how much destiny value that national destiny adds."
Looking at Shangguan Wenxuan's personal information, Yun Chenfei was inwardly astonished; this was his first time seeing someone with a destiny value exceeding forty thousand.
"As the Third Prince of the Southern Heaven Kingdom and the Sect Master's Personal Disciple, he actually colluded with the Heavenly Demon Clan for his own selfish gain, murdering the Human Race Prodigies."
"Senior Sister was absolutely right; he really is a hypocrite with wolfish ambitions."
Yun Chenfei narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent towards Shangguan Wenxuan welling up in his heart.
At the moment Yun Chenfei's killing intent surged, Shangguan Wenxuan seemed to sense something and cast his gaze in his direction.
"What sharp perception!"
Yun Chenfei sighed inwardly as their eyes met. A cold smile played at the corners of Shangguan Wenxuan's mouth.
Upon seeing Yi Kuhan beside Yun Chenfei, the cold smile on Shangguan Wenxuan's face turned into amazement, then shifted into greed.
"This must be Junior Sister Yi. I haven't seen you for a few years, and I didn't expect you to grow up to be so beautiful."
Hearing this, Yi Kuhan hid shyly behind Yun Chenfei, then peeked at Shangguan Wenxuan with a look of wanting to see but feeling embarrassed.
"Senior Sister's acting skills... if she were on Earth, she'd definitely be at the level of a Best Actress."
"She must be up to no good again. As expected of a Witch!"
Feeling the softness against his back, Yun Chenfei felt a surge of pleasure and thought to himself.
"A lady from a noble family, delicate and clinging."
"I love this kind of beauty who plays hard to get. Sooner or later, I'll make you my plaything!"
Shangguan Wenxuan thought to himself, wishing he could immediately pull Yi Kuhan into his arms and favor her.
Knowing the principle of playing hard to get, Shangguan Wenxuan didn't continue to strike up a conversation with Yi Kuhan. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the Elder presiding over the Sect competition.
"I wonder if this Disciple may participate in this competition?"
Shangguan Wenxuan gave a salute and asked with a smile.
"This... I cannot make the decision. Let me consult with the Vice Sect Master before giving you an answer."
After all, the Sect Master hadn't personally said anything about expelling Shangguan Wenxuan from the Sect, so this Elder didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
"I also heard that the Divine Firmament Sect forced our Xuan Yue Sect to sign an unfair bet, so I rushed back specifically to contribute my meager strength to the Sect."
"I hope the Elder will fulfill this Disciple's sincere heart."
Having finished speaking, Shangguan Wenxuan gave another deep salute.
"Senior Brother Shangguan is so handsome, and he's gentle and polite, and even more loyal to the Sect."
"Elder Shan, why not let Senior Brother Shangguan participate in this competition?"
"Yes, Elder Shan, we're already at a disadvantage. With Senior Brother Shangguan's Spirit Refining Realm cultivation, he will surely increase our chances of winning significantly."
Shangguan Wenxuan's deliberate display of gentleness and modesty immediately blinded the eyes of many Disciples.
Elder Shan saw that Shangguan Wenxuan wasn't arrogant or overbearing despite being the Third Prince, but was instead very polite.
The purpose of this Sect competition was to select powerful Disciples, and given that Shangguan Wenxuan's strength was indeed outstanding, a hint of appreciation for talent naturally arose in his heart.
After some thought, Elder Shan agreed to Shangguan Wenxuan's request.
At this time, except for Yi Kuhan and Yun Chenfei who didn't need to participate in the arena matches, ninety-eight Disciples were already standing on the stage.
With Shangguan Wenxuan joining, it was inevitable that one more person would have to withdraw.
Among the ninety-eight Disciples on the stage, there were only two in the Spirit Refining Realm, twenty-eight in the Condensing Origin Realm, sixty in the Returning Origin Realm, and eight in the Qi Nurturing Realm.
Logically, with Shangguan Wenxuan's Spirit Refining Realm cultivation, he wouldn't even need to participate in a challenge to directly replace the last Qi Nurturing Realm Disciple.
At this moment, however, something unexpected happened.
"Junior Brother Yun, it's been a long time. I haven't fought anyone in a while. I wonder if Junior Brother Yun could spar with me so I can get used to my current Realm?"
As soon as Shangguan Wenxuan spoke, he was challenging Yun Chenfei.
"Great, now there's more excitement to watch."
"I haven't seen the Saint fight in a long time. Go for it, Saint!"
"This is a fight between Spirit Refining Realm experts! We might not see one in our entire lives, to think we'd encounter one in this lifetime."
Some Utility Disciples who had no hope of a Breakthrough in this life spoke up excitedly.
The Disciples with higher cultivation on the stage, however, frowned.
At their Realm, once they made a mistake in a fight, it would result in either death or serious injury.
Furthermore, both Yun Chenfei and Shangguan Wenxuan were the main forces for the upcoming Spirit Stone Mine Struggle.
Shangguan Wenxuan challenging Yun Chenfei at this time was undoubtedly an unwise choice, and it was detrimental to the bet in a few days.
"Senior Brother Shangguan challenging Xiao Yunzi at this time is not a wise move."
Just as Yun Chenfei was about to stand up and accept the challenge, Yi Kuhan grabbed his arm.
"Rest assured, Junior Sister Yi, I have no other intentions. I won't use a single shred of magic power in this spar."
"I simply want to spar with Junior Brother Yun to stretch my muscles and bones."
Shangguan Wenxuan said with a gentle face, then secretly gave Yi Kuhan a wink.
"Xiao Yunzi, go, break his dog legs for me!"
Seeing this, Yi Kuhan, who originally didn't approve of Yun Chenfei accepting the challenge, now spoke in a low voice through gritted teeth.
"My thoughts exactly!"
"Senior Sister, even if you didn't say it, I would have done so."
"Also, you look even better when you're angry."
His gaze inconspicuously swept over Yi Kuhan's chest as Yun Chenfei whispered, then he secretly squeezed Yi Kuhan's soft hand.
Feeling Yun Chenfei's little movement, the originally livid Yi Kuhan gradually showed a sweet smile on her face.
"Saint, you don't have to fight in this match."
"That's right, Saint. My cultivation is the lowest, only at the ninth level of the Qi Nurturing Realm. I'll withdraw!"
"And me, and me! I'm also willing to withdraw to make a spot for Senior Brother Shangguan."
...
Several Outer Sect Disciples in the Qi Nurturing Realm on the stage said in unison.
"Hmph, just a piece of trash at the First Grade Spirit Refining Realm."
"If our Third Prince hadn't left the Sect for some business, how could the position of Saint have fallen to him!"
The middle-aged man behind Shangguan Wenxuan spoke with disdainful mockery.
"If the Saint hadn't accidentally lost his entire cultivation a year ago, how could he only be at the First Grade Spirit Refining Realm now?"
"The First Grade Spirit Refining Realm you see is a Realm our Saint reached after only one year of Cultivation."
"Exactly, with our Saint's talent for Cultivation, he should have at least reached the Ninth Grade Spirit Refining Realm by now."
Some Disciples with higher cultivation, led by Jing Sheng and Song Xinyao, spoke up in rebuttal.
"Hmph!"
"It seems our Great Saint Yun has quite the popularity with the ladies in the Sect!"
Seeing the two great beauties, Jing Sheng and Song Xinyao, both speaking up to defend Yun Chenfei, Yi Kuhan pinched Yun Chenfei's waist and spoke coldly.
