Just stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage? Jii Xiaoyao’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, as Lin Tian’s mere statement left her dumbfounded. The others present were also staring wide-eyed, rendered speechless by Lin Tian’s words. What kind of existence is the Nascent Soul Stage? It could be said to be standing at the peak of this world! An immortal-like figure, only heard of in legends but never seen in reality! Not to mention the Nascent Soul Stage, even stepping into the Golden Core Stage is a goal innumerable cultivators yearn for. So many cultivators are stuck below the Foundation Establishment Stage, and those who reach the Golden Core Realm are one in a million! Lin Tian’s words carried a tone of disdain towards the Nascent Soul Stage. Get full chapters from N0v3l.Fiɾe.net Where did this confidence come from? Many people thought Lin Tian was too arrogant. Ye Qinghou also frowned, finally shaking his head, and said to the other Sword Saint Mountain officials, "This child might excel in the Guiding Master Dao, but his temperament is too arrogant. Such a mindset is inadvisable! If he does not heed advice, it would be better to turn him away!" "Indeed, arrogant enough, he even fought with someone below earlier. If I hadn’t intervened, he might have been injured by Gao Chengpeng..." At this time, Huang Jiansheng leaned over to Ye Qinghou, speaking in a low voice. After hearing Huang Jiansheng’s words, Ye Qinghou frowned even deeper. "This person is truly arrogant!" Sitting next to the main seat, Long Ditian said with a cold expression. "Young Lord, his name is Lin Tian, seems to be an ordinary mortal, but unexpectedly he is a Guiding Master!" Next to him, Long Teng leaned forward, whispering to Long Ditian. "Hmm... such an idiot, no need to pay attention! Just watch the show..." Long Ditian nodded and replied lightly. Beside him, Situ Han shook his head, his originally unsightly face smoothing out as he helplessly said to Lin Tian, "It seems you don’t understand what the Nascent Soul Stage represents! A bit of arrogance in youth can be understood, but being overconfident is overstepping!" After speaking, Situ Han glanced at Yun Qingwan and said, "Since you are unwilling to accept me as your master, I won’t force it! But one day you will understand what a mistake your decision today was, and by then there will be no room for regret!" Yun Qingwan bit her lip, remaining silent. As for Lin Tian, regarding Situ Han’s words, he merely smiled slightly, not refuting. "Enough, nothing much left to watch here, this old man should also leave! Just in time to visit that old fellow Long Wuheng at the East Sea, and perhaps find a place to comprehend and see if I can step into the Nascent Soul Realm..." Situ Han seemed somewhat disappointed, waving his hand as he spoke, finally saying to Jii Xiaoyao, "Girl, are you staying here or leaving? This old man will only accompany you back to Jinling, then you’d have to return to Yanjing to meet your master yourself!" "Ancestor, alright! I still have to hurry back and prepare to meet that Senior Lin Bei..." Jii Xiaoyao nodded in agreement, then looked displeased at Lin Tian, chiding, "I’ve never seen anyone as conceited as you! A Guiding Master? In a hundred years, I’ll still be as I am now, watching you turn to dust; imagine what a sad scene that would be! Take care of yourself, anyway we have no ties anymore, just a familial acquaintance at best!" "Senior Situ, are you leaving?" At this moment, Ye Qinghou stepped forward, a look of entreaty on his face, while saying, "Why not linger a few days at Sword Saint Mountain?" "No, no... I have nothing to chat about with those old folks at the Sword Saint Palace! Just a bunch of people hiding away in their Cultivation Chambers all the time!" Situ Han shook his head, taking Jii Xiaoyao with him as they flew away. Seeing Situ Han and Jii Xiaoyao leave, Ye Qinghou and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. The entreaty just now was merely for show. He would rather have Situ Han leave sooner. Otherwise, even if they couldn’t take Yun Qingwan, there were still people like Bu Sheng, who knows if someone might fancy one of the other promising young disciples. Once Situ Han left, many people began to gloat. Looking at Yun Qingwan as if she were a fool. No one dared to mock coldly anymore. No matter what, now Yun Qingwan is already a cherished young woman of the East Continent! If she steps into Sword Saint Mountain, her future achievements will undoubtedly be high, and no one wants to directly offend her. As Situ Han departed, all eyes once again turned back to Yun Qingwan and Lin Tian. Ye Qinghou turned his head again, looking at Lin Tian, saying, "Did you just say you still wanted her to take on a challenge?" "I think, since they all participated in the East Continent Martial Arts Gathering, they’re all disciples of my Sword Saint Mountain, so there’s no need to distinguish a high from a low! To avoid unnecessary injuries!" After a pause, Ye Qinghou continued, "Also, do you think she has the strength to battle Bu Sheng? Don’t think beating Sikong Ping means you can challenge Bu Sheng! You shouldn’t risk injury that may affect her physical condition and talent! However, whether to challenge or not, it’s up to Yun Qingwan herself!" Regarding Ye Qinghou’s words, Lin Tian merely smiled slightly, not responding, instead turning to Yun Qingwan, saying, "Defeat that Bu Sheng, otherwise what I’ve taught you will hardly find an evenly matched opponent for you to practice in the future! Dare?" Upon hearing this, Yun Qingwan trembled slightly, raised her head, her face serious, and nodded vigorously, "Master, I can!" Beside her, seeing Yun Qingwan agree, Ye Qinghou frowned, feeling that Yun Qingwan obediently heeding Lin Tian was a bit problematic. However, the challenge must still proceed. "Because Yun Qingwan wants to verify her current abilities, to see the level she has reached, she will now challenge Bu Sheng!" Huang Jiansheng, under Ye Qinghou’s direction, stepped forward, loudly saying to the people below, "If Yun Qingwan loses, the ranking remains unchanged. If Yun Qingwan wins, she will take Bu Sheng’s position! Of course, afterwards, Bu Sheng or others may continue to challenge!" As Huang Jiansheng finished speaking, Yun Qingwan and Bu Sheng both stepped onto the stage. "You are strong! Before, when I saw you defeat Sikong Ping, I couldn’t gauge your depth!" Standing on the stage, Bu Sheng looked at Yun Qingwan with a solemn expression, taking a deep breath and said, "How about we decide the match in one move? Even if I lose, there will be no complaints!" Yun Qingwan nodded lightly, knowing that the battle techniques she cultivated were merely the Yellow Spirit Palm and the offensive and defensive battle techniques Lin Tian had taught her; in a prolonged fight, she wasn’t entirely confident in defeating Bu Sheng. Standing below, Lin Tian saw the two and nodded, thinking Bu Sheng was much stronger than his peers in both strength and character. "Alright, make your move!" Bu Sheng, with a serious face, immediately adopted a stance, showing no signs of underestimating Yun Qingwan. Yun Qingwan, meanwhile, remained motionless, gracefully raising her slender hand, as if preparing a defensive posture. "Look at Bu Sheng’s stance, could it be that Yun Qingwan is truly strong?" "A one-move decision? Such a duel requires powerful cultivation and strength to support!" "Eighty percent chance that Bu Sheng will win! Even if Yun Qingwan’s talent is stronger! But, in terms of cultivation or time spent training, there’s too big a gap!" Many people began discussing. "Watch closely! Flowing Cloud Palm!" Across from her, Bu Sheng didn’t become arrogant just because Yun Qingwan was a girl or had lower cultivation. He shouted loudly, making the first move and launching an attack. Yun Qingwan’s beautiful eyes fix on Bu Sheng as he attacks, her hand quickly forming a spell, surrounding herself with a glow of True Qi as she thrust her other hand out with a soft shout, "Spirit Heart Fist!"
