System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

After the second match concluded, only a dozen breaths later, Chen Xuan saw that the senior disciples remained inactive and showed no intention of stepping down to fight, so he cheerfully and directly issued a challenge.

This action seemed to touch a nerve among the senior disciples, and in an instant, all of them turned their gaze to Senior Brother Tianshui, who was at the head of the group.

"Senior brother, look, Junior Brother Chen Xuan has openly challenged us. Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Chen Xuan is indeed powerful, but his behavior is rather arrogant. He won two matches in a row and still doesn't know when to back down, and even dares to challenge others?"

"This is clearly a contempt and provocation towards us, the third-generation disciples."

……

Whether mortal or cultivator, all fear being placed in a situation where they are roasted on a fire by everyone. At this moment, these third-generation disciples are caught in such an awkward predicament.

As the top disciple among the third generation, Tianshui knew he would have to step in and deal with the situation now that Tianshuang, who was second, had already been defeated.

However, the timing of his exit was crucial. In his mind, his junior brother Chen Xuan must be severely exhausted after two fierce battles.

If one were to take the initiative to participate, it would inevitably raise suspicions of taking advantage of someone else's misfortune, and even if one ultimately wins, it would be difficult to gain a reputation for integrity.

However, if the other party takes the initiative to challenge, the situation is completely different.

"Haha, you are indeed a generous and forthright person. In that case, Tianshui will come and learn from your superior skills!"

He accepted the challenge and defeated his junior brother. Even though the victory was somewhat dishonorable, no one criticized him too much.

On the contrary, everyone would criticize Chen Xuan for being arrogant and conceited, which is exactly the result Tianshui wanted.

woohoo-

"Junior Brother Chen Xuan, you have already displayed such amazing strength so soon after entering the sect. I am about to break through and am busy preparing for my breakthrough to the Myriad Manifestations Realm. As for the prize, let's still set it at ten catties of primordial liquid. What do you think?"

Tianshui already knew of Chen Xuan's unfathomable abilities through her junior sister Tianshuang's telepathic message.

He dared not act recklessly if he was not absolutely certain about something.

While a hundred catties of raw liquid is a considerable fortune, losing the competition due to rash actions would not only damage one's character but also cause one to lose face and prestige.

"In that case, I will follow Senior Brother's decision." Within the sect, Chen Xuan's only disagreement was with Hao Yue.

In fact, if he were more cunning and shrewd, he could have easily used the arrogant posture of a victor to provoke these senior disciples with words, making them all indignant and willing to put up a bet with a hundred catties of source liquid as the stake, thus making a fortune.

He has the ability and the confidence.

Having been born in the Dragon Xia society of his previous life, where keyboard warriors and trolls were rampant, he had been exposed to these verbal arts of manipulating others' emotions and had mastered a certain degree of skill in them.

But Chen Xuan wouldn't act that way. Origin Liquid is indeed precious and hard to obtain, but that applies to others, not to Chen Xuan.

If he were determined to obtain the Source Liquid, there were other ways and channels. This method of relying on verbal manipulation and then feigning weakness to deceive others was the kind of behavior that Chen Xuan despised the most.

The two men, displaying such gentlemanly manners, set a wager for their discussion. But to Haoyue, it felt like finishing a meal only to discover a rotten fly at the bottom of the bowl, a feeling of nausea rising within her.

"Humph."

Haoyue's face was gloomy and unsightly. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands. She could only stare coldly at Chen Xuan, who was calm and composed with a smile on his face, and muttered to herself, "What's so great about him? Let's see how long you can be so arrogant."

Soon, Senior Brother Tianshui flew out from the side hall, followed closely by a huge cyan puppet.
