Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

"The Zhou family is truly shameless, they're kicking away the ladder after they've crossed it."

"That's right. They used to fawn over the Ling family like lapdogs, but now that the Ling family isn't as powerful as before, they've turned around and bitten us."

......

Some people couldn't stand it and said some harsh words, which made the Zhou family head's face look rather ugly.

"Hmph! Patriarch Ling, there's no rule against using sacred artifacts on the arena, is there? If you also provided Ling Xianzi with a sacred artifact or a weapon of higher quality, I wouldn't say a word."

The sacred artifact in his daughter's hands was not from the Zhou family, but was a gift from the Feng Huo Sect to his daughter.

Sacred artifacts are not something that just anyone can possess.

Ling Yun was also somewhat dissatisfied.

"Patriarch Zhou is truly magnanimous; there is indeed no rule prohibiting the carrying of sacred artifacts in this arena."

"Hahaha... Patriarch Ling, look at you, you're not even as sensible as that little girl."

Everyone was somewhat surprised that Ling Yun actually spoke up for the Zhou family.

Only the system knew that this big shot was probably going to try and fleece it again.

as predicted.

"I originally thought this was a matter between the younger generation, and it would be best to be fair. However, it seems that it is somewhat unfair now."

"Hey you, here you go."

Before anyone could react, Ling Yun threw a weapon at Ling Xiao, who caught it instinctively.

However, the moment the weapon was in his hand, Ling Xiao's body trembled.

The weapon seemed to be rejecting him!

As if to confirm his guess, the sword began to tremble violently, as if venting its dissatisfaction.

The surrounding spiritual energy also began to become turbulent due to its fluctuations.

Zhou Min noticed that the sacred artifact in her hand was trembling, as if it was afraid of something.

The sudden change was unclear to everyone.

Ling Yun frowned and immediately rebuked in a cold voice:

"If you dare to hurt him, I will destroy you."

With just one sentence, the surroundings instantly returned to calm.

"Lingyun, is the sword you gave Ling Xiao a divine weapon? Is it?"

The elder was so excited that his whole body began to tremble.

A magical artifact! It's something many people dream of but can't obtain.

As for why he was so certain.

Everyone knows that only divine artifacts can develop sentience.

"Hmm, you do have some good taste."

She had no intention of hiding the fact that she had taken out the magical artifact.

As for making people envious and want to steal it?

hehe......

If they dare to steal it, she'll make sure they never leave.

“Is this a divine weapon?”

Ling Xiao stared blankly at the sword lying quietly in his hand.

It wasn't just the Ling family who were shocked; everyone present was caught in the crossfire.

They all stared enviously at the sword in Ling Xiao's hand.

Ling Yun observed their expressions.

A divine artifact! There are probably only a handful in the entire Xuan Tian Continent.

Who wouldn't want to own one?

"Come, drip your blood into the sword."

Ling Yun's tone was very calm, so calm that Ling Xiao hadn't even recovered from the magic weapon yet. He mechanically followed her instructions and dripped blood into the sword.

In an instant, light shone brightly, and Ling Xiao felt a connection with the sword.

He also knew that the sword in his hand was indeed a divine weapon.

He no longer knew what words to use to describe his feelings at that moment.

Once everyone came to their senses, they realized that the divine artifact had been contracted...

So casual?

"So-so. With your current strength, it's passable."

Ling Yun was not very satisfied with this magical artifact.

These words, however, sounded rather Versailles to everyone.

Is this artifact just passable?

That's a bit too much of a boast.

"then."

Ling Yun tossed it casually again, and the latter reacted instinctively.

"Eat it."

Perhaps having learned from past mistakes, Ling Xiao was more cautious this time.

The moment the medicine bottle was opened, its fragrance wafted out.

He didn't know what kind of elixir it was, but he took it because he unconditionally trusted Ling Yun.

When Zhou Min realized something was wrong, it was too late. Thinking she couldn't give him any more chance to breathe, she decided to kill him directly.

But the next second, a powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted from Ling Xiao's body.

And so, Ling Xiao advanced in front of everyone!

Primary True Spirit Realm, Level Three!

Intermediate True Spirit Realm, Level 1!

Intermediate True Spirit Realm, Level Two!

......

It didn't stop until it reached the second level of the intermediate spiritual realm.

Jump directly to another level.

Such a scene of advancement is truly spectacular.

"My son's cultivation has recovered? And it's even higher now."

Ling Yongchang was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

The Ling family was also happy for their eldest son.

However, the most excited person was none other than Ling Xiao himself.

Although he kept saying he didn't care, how could he really not care when he watched his cultivation level keep declining?

The Ling family was afraid of upsetting him, so they never mentioned it in front of him.

His father, in particular, clearly felt that his hair had turned quite white and he was becoming weak from the experience.

The Ling family may not say anything, but that doesn't mean outsiders won't gossip.

He felt guilty and dejected whenever he heard those comments.

But he was glad that he adjusted himself and did not give up.

"Thank you!"

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Yun, wanting to say a thousand words, but all he could say was "thank you."

"Hmm, it seems you haven't given up on yourself despite your decline in cultivation, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to break through to the Spirit Realm even after taking this pill."

Ling Yun was fairly satisfied.

"Patriarch Ling, aren't you going too far?"

The Zhou family head snapped out of his shock, his face turning ashen.

"How are we going too far? If you have a divine artifact, you can give one to your daughter. We won't be in a hurry. Besides, is there a rule in the arena that you can't take pills during the match? I don't think so."

Ling Yongchang was in a very good mood at the moment and used Zhou Xun's words to retaliate against the other party.

Zhou Xun was furious.

Does he think magical artifacts are like cabbages? That anyone can just casually pull one out?

"how is this possible?"

Compared to the Ling family's excitement, Zhou Min was rather upset.

He was clearly a useless person, about to be trampled under her feet, but now not only has his cultivation been restored, but it is even higher than hers. How can she accept this?

Damn it, it's all that bastard's fault.

All of this is because of the appearance of that Behemoth.

The thought of Ling Yun made Zhou Min glare at her fiercely, wishing she could tear her to pieces.

Ling Yun naturally sensed the murderous intent in Zhou Min's eyes.

But does she need to care about a clown?

I'm sorry, there's absolutely no need for that.

The young sect leader of the Feng Huo Sect, who harbored improper thoughts about Ling Yun, seemed lost in thought, his mind unreadable.

Ling Xiao, standing on the arena, also noticed Zhou Min's murderous intent and frowned deeply.

He could disregard Zhou Min's insults, but he would absolutely not allow anyone to lay a hand on Ling Yun, not even a single thought.

"Zhou Min, our competition is not over yet, let's finish this quickly."

Ling Xiao has no rule against fighting with women.

He showed no pity or tenderness towards Zhou Min.

The sword recognizes its master, making it easy to use no matter how you wield it.

Zhou Min was only at the third level of the advanced True Spirit Realm, and she had no chance against Ling Xiao, who was at the second level of the intermediate Spirit Realm.

In just one round, Zhou Min was completely at a disadvantage and looked extremely disheveled.
