一位出色的课外辅导老师

IN THE MIDDLE of a large hall, Zhang Lixin was sitting cross-legged. His shimmering reddish robe that extended up to the soles of his feet was perfectly positioned at the moment.

Frowning slightly, he wondered how long it would take him to refine this Saint’s Arm he found in that secret place within Diabolos City.

Although it was a dangerous place, even for someone like him, he still did it without fear.

If he wanted to ascend, he must have a clear mind and a hell-bent heart. If he would not extend his hand to help his father, he would develop guilt in his heart, hence a heart demon that could greatly affect his cultivation journey.

“Father, you must persevere. I hope you can do all the things you want to do and avenge mother. I, your son, Zhang Lixin, will definitely not be tied down by your dreams and aspirations in life. Although I want power, if I can’t get it by force, I would definitely give up,” he said to himself.

For the sake of trying to strengthen himself, despite his monstrous talent, he decisively cut his right arm to replace it with the Saint’s Arm. Zhang Lixing didn’t want to be left behind by those of the same age as him. If he soon ascended, at least he wouldn’t be that worse compared to the others.

After all, the higher the realm is, the higher the resources there are to use for cultivation.

This was why he badly wanted to ascend.

But again, only when his father finished his affairs.

If he’d die in this pursuit of power, he wouldn’t care anymore. Zhang Lixin valued his life more than familial matters. Besides, his father never nurtured him personally to become who he was today.

It was Runic Demon who raised him up.

From a helpless child to a powerful one today.

Runic Demon was like his father. He was also the one who kept insisting that he should already ascend. Zhang Lixin knew his good intentions, but he wouldn’t be able to settle down properly without settling the matters with his parents.

Ever since his mother died that day, his father turned crazy about cultivating and had gone through thick and thin to acquire more power. It had born fruits, but Zhang Lixin wasn’t certain he would succeed.

He always had this uneasy feeling.

Like if he faced this head-on, he would die._.

This was why he told Runic Demon to remain discreet with his actions. Otherwise, they would all die if they accidentally provoked someone.

Zhang Lixin believed in his strength. But again, he valued his life more than anyone else.

He just hoped that the moment he ascended, Diabolos City would remain where it stood. If it was besieged then, he could only let out a sigh.

At this time, in the Central Domain’s arena, Shu Fan showed off his prowess. As he was a participant from the past, he was one of the relatively stronger participants. This time, he was aiming to be in the top ten to get the inheritance from a Saint. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to ascend.

If only he had a Saint Realm master, he wouldn’t bother doing this.

WHACK!

Shu Fan rained fists on his opponent. Coming from the Southern Territory which was one of the strongest territories in Da Sishen, he could boldly kill his opponents, even if he or she was from the Central Domain.

CRACK!

Gradually, his opponent’s bones started to snap. When he heard this, he even punched harder than his opponent could only grit his teeth and defend.

“I admit defeat!” his opponent screamed and flew off the arena quickly.

This infuriated Shu Fan!

He wanted to be like those who were in the spotlight. Like them, he also wanted to kill! To slaughter!

But no matter, he could not do anything to an opponent who surrendered.

Finally, it was Sheng Fudi’s turn.

When he flew to the arena, all the participants zipped their mouths. To everyone, Sheng Fudi was the toughest opponent to defeat. In the Central Domain, he belonged to the Sheng Family, hence his robe was tinted red. Even Xia Hua herself had to show her respect to him.

At this moment, he was facing someone he did not expect to face. Or rather everyone did not expect to see. They were impressed by his performance in the first two clusters, but it wasn’t enough to make them believe he could defeat someone like Sheng Fudi.

Yang Lujia!

No! Rather, it was Cao Nima.

The Eastern Territory’s people suddenly became dejected. After all, in their eyes, Yang Lujia was only a kid at the Seventh Stage of the God Emperor Realm.

He could not possibly win against someone who was almost at the Half-Step Saint Realm. If it were Xia Hua or any other participants, they would still have a chance.

But could Yang Lujia be more talented than Sheng Fudi?

Somehow, they believed it, but Yang Lujia was still too young.

Wang Lao’s forehead was as black as coal. He couldn’t believe that the people who presided over this event actually paired them up in the beginning.

At this time, at most, there would still be 25 participants that would remain in the competition. It would be a shame for Yang Lujia to be defeated in his first fight.

However, Yang Lujia’s eyes were incomparably calm. Nonchalant, he only observed Sheng Fudi’s constitution and discovered that this kid actually hid his cultivation level at the Half-Step Saint Realm.

Yang Lujia grinned like a devil. He had a plan.

At this time, both of them were like regal figures that the people watching them could not help but feel respect. Yang Lujia altered some parts of his face, so he was not any more handsome than the other party.

However, the charm exuded could not be hidden. It instantly made all the ladies feel sexually induced.

“Sheng Fudi, right?” Yang Lujia communicated. “I heard you are so strong. I hope the rumors are all true?” Although his tone sounded respectful, his choice of words inevitably made people think he was mocking Sheng Fudi.

Meanwhile, Lin Diyu was confused. Yang Lujia actually talked instead of attacking from the very beginning.

Towards Yang Lujia’s attitude to him, Sheng Fudi only smiled. “You seem quite confident in defeating me. Remember this. You, a mere Seventh Stage at the God Emperor Realm, have no chance to defeat me.”

His tone was filled with arrogance, and condescending. However, people did not think he was arrogant. After all, it all bore down to his strength. He had the capital to act like so. It was even more appropriate to say he was confident, and not just some conceited fellow who only knew how to talk.

“Oh,” Yang Lujia reacted, a bit taken aback by Sheng Fudi looking down on him. “Come right at me, then?”

“Stop acting! You’re just nothing but dead meat!” Sheng Fudi shouted and held the grip of his sword.

“Oh,” Yang Lujia reacted once more.

This was his plan. An arrogant fellow had always been dense when it comes to provocations. It was already proven and tested in some novels he once read.

“What ‘Oh’?” Sheng Fudi was caught off guard. Soon enough, his face showed a ferocious expression, clearly bristling.

Almost instantly, he appeared behind the other party.

He chose to directly attack his opponent.

Yang Lujia, on the other hand, was relatively calm.

In a blink of an eye, their position reversed. Sheng Fudi hit no one with his sword. The outcome shocked him.

Yang Lujia’s figure actually disappeared!

MUNCH! MUNCH!

NOM! NOM!

BURP!

Soon enough, he heard the other party eating behind him. Quickly, he turned around and prepared himself to launch another slash of his sword. “This time, you’re not getting away!”

When the spectators saw this scene, they didn’t whether they should laugh or cry. Yang Lujia was simply too fast with his movement! Even someone like Xia Jieke didn’t see how Yang Lujia moved!

“This kid…” Xia Jieke unconsciously muttered.

Wang Lao was even more speechless and felt the urge to laugh.

As the crowd saw the approaching sword aiming at Yang Lujia’s neck, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath. It felt like the whole world slow-motioned.

Then, they saw Yang Lujia raising his hands. As though the sword was some sort of useless fly, he flicked his fingers and hit its edge. At once, Sheng Fudi’s sword broke into pieces.

“Noooo!” Sheng Fudi’s eyes turned red. This sword was a treasure his family had given him months ago. It was a human-ranked imperial relic weapon!

And this kid in front of him actually had the guts to break his weapon?!

However, before he could open his mouth to scold Yang Lujia, an unbearable pressure pushed him back and under the gazes of everyone, he was already out of the arena’s perimeter.

Xia Hua’s pupils constricted! She was right! This Cao Nima was indeed a strong opponent!

Sheng Fudi almost turned crazy. He went back to the arena and unleashed his full aura. He couldn’t accept defeat! This time, he wanted to defeat this kid who humiliated him! For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of himself.

Previously, he looked down on the other party and even said he was going to thrash him. However, at this time, the opposite happened.

“Aren’t you out of the arena already?” Yang Lujia was surprised by this guy’s determination.

“He’s actually reached the Half-Step Saint Realm! Sheng Fudi actually reached that realm already!” a rogue cultivator from the crowd screamed.

Others then realized this fact. Everyone felt choked. Even Runic Demon himself or City Lord Ice and the other City Lords was dumbstruck.

“So what if I’m back in the arena? I didn’t admit defeat!” Sheng Fudi exclaimed, furious.

“But according to the rules, you already lose,” Yang Lujia calmly said as he continued to munch some of the pills he pulled out from the system space. “Besides, you can’t defeat me.”

Sheng Fudi had long realized this fact, but he didn’t want to be toyed with. He wanted a real battle. If he ended up being defeated, he didn’t mind, as long as it was fair!

“Give me a fair battle,” Sheng Fudi said.

Xia Jieke didn’t stop this and was even more amused by this scene. He wanted to know what kind of reaction or show Yang Lujia would put up.

Slowly, Yang Lujia stood on his feet. His voice as if it contained the will of the realm reverberated in everyone’s hearts. “You want a fair battle? Then, prepare yourself.”

His eyes turned purple all of a sudden as the ground trembled at the same time.

Everyone felt the tremor, but they still couldn’t trace a single strand of aura from Yang Lujia’s body. However, they had long noticed his purple eyes. One look and it could give them the feeling of either ascension in strength or suffocation to death.

Whoever looked at his eyes, as long as they treated him as their enemy, they would meet their doom. If otherwise, they could benefit from them.

“This…” Xia Hua fell into a trance. It was like she comprehended something in her Saber Path. It was the same for Xia Jieke.

Sheng Fudi’s heart stopped beating. Shuddering, he stared at Yang Lujia like he was staring at a monster. “You… who are you…”

“You still want a fair fight?”

When Yang Lujia uttered these words, no one dared question him. Sheng Fudi also bowed his head dejectedly, as though he was already admitting his loss.

“You can’t even withstand a gaze from me. What more if I move? Won’t you die so quickly? Do you really want a fair right? Or a quick death that even you would never know how you died?”
