Martial Arts to Supremacy

Over the next few days, Ang Lee rested peacefully in the wooden cabin.

The spiritual energy of the Xuantian Sect was already extremely rich, and with the lingering spiritual energy from the plants left by the Holy Maiden Su Qingyue, as well as the spiritual porridge and medicine sent by the sect disciples every day, his injuries recovered very quickly.

His previously damaged meridians were completely repaired, becoming even wider and stronger than before. His overdrawn physical body was also replenished with strength. Even the mysterious jade book dormant within his body seemed to radiate a faint warmth under the nourishment of this pure spiritual energy, quietly improving his foundation.

In his spare time, Li An would silently circulate the meager spiritual energy within his body, according to the cultivation methods in his mind, to consolidate his own condition.

He knew that his arrival at the Xuantian Sect was purely by chance. If he did not seize the time to improve his strength, even if he stayed in the sect, he would eventually find it difficult to establish himself, let alone repay Su Qingyue's life-saving grace and explore the heaven-defying path that uses one's body as a manifestation.

That afternoon, the sun shone warmly, and outside the window, the sea of ​​clouds surged and the spiritual energy rose. Li An felt that his injuries had healed by about 70-80%, and his blood and qi were flowing smoothly throughout his body. So he decided to go out of the house and walk around the sect to familiarize himself with this legendary top-level sect.

He quickly straightened his clothes and went out.

The house was originally a place where Su Qingyue would relax in her spare time. It was located in a secluded mountain valley in the outer area of ​​the Xuantian Sect, far from the hustle and bustle, with a tranquil environment. Walking slowly along the mountain path paved with bluestone, one would pass ancient trees reaching for the sky and spiritual herbs covering the ground.

As Li An traveled, he was met with unprecedented sights of magnificent sects, and he was secretly amazed. Compared to the desolate mountains and wilderness surrounding Qingyang City, this place was undoubtedly a true paradise for cultivation.

He strolled along, looking around, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the outer disciples' training ground.

The training ground was wide and flat, where dozens of outer sect disciples were facing off in pairs, sparring and practicing. As their fists and feet clashed, spiritual energy surged, and illusory images of Dharma forms appeared, drawing cheers from the crowd. Li An had intended to stop and observe for a moment to witness the cultivation level of the Xuan Tian Sect disciples, but he was interrupted by a sarcastic voice as soon as he stopped.

"Oh, isn't this the wild boy Her Highness picked up from the deep mountains? What, you've recovered from your injuries and dare to run around like this?"

Ang Lee frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man dressed in a light blue outer disciple's robe stood not far away, arms crossed, looking him up and down with disdain and an undisguised sneer on his lips.

The young man was tall and straight, with a hint of arrogance between his brows. The fluctuations of spiritual energy around him were clearly visible, indicating that he had already reached the peak of the initial awakening realm. Among the outer disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect, he was considered to have some strength.

This person was Ye Xiao, an outer disciple. He usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the outer sect because he had an inner disciple backing him up.

Li An, being new to the place, did not want to cause trouble for no reason. He suppressed his displeasure, glanced at him indifferently, and then planned to turn around and leave, not wanting to argue with him.

But his concession was seen as weakness and vulnerability by Ye Xiao.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao moved swiftly, blocking Li An's path. His mockery deepened: "What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Afraid to answer? I thought you were some genius, but you're just a useless piece of trash who can't even speak!"

"The Xuantian Sect is a sacred place, how could a wild brat like you from a small mortal town be allowed to stay there? I think you just got lucky and were rescued by Her Highness the Holy Maiden. Do you really think you're someone important?"

The shrill mockery instantly attracted the attention of many outer disciples in the training ground.

Everyone stopped their sparring and turned their gazes toward this place, their expressions varied. Some were curious, some were amused, and some were gloating. Everyone wanted to see what made this young man, personally brought back by the revered Holy Maiden of the sect, so extraordinary.

"Is that the person the Holy Maiden rescued? He looks completely ordinary. His spiritual energy fluctuations are weak, and I can't even see through his cultivation level. Could he really just be an ordinary person?"

"Ye Xiao is at the peak of the initial awakening realm, and he is considered a formidable figure in the outer sect. This is going to be a good show. Ye Xiao has always been arrogant, and he certainly won't let him off easily."

"I find it strange, Her Highness, with your status, why would you save such an ordinary boy with no background?"

The murmurs rose and fell, reaching Li An's ears, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but Ye Xiao went too far, calling him "wild boy" and "trash" repeatedly, wantonly humiliating him and completely crossing his bottom line.

Li An stopped and looked up at Ye Xiao, his voice calm but with a hint of coldness: "Get out of the way."

"Get out of the way?" Ye Xiao laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "You piece of trash, how dare you talk to me like that? Let me tell you, today I'll teach you a lesson about the sect rules, so you'll understand who you can mess with and who you can't! Today I'll teach you a good lesson and let you know that the Xuan Tian Sect is not a place for trash like you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he no longer held back in the slightest.

Suddenly, his spiritual energy surged, and a pale red aura swirled around him like flames. Then, the void behind him trembled slightly, and a phantom of a scorpion, over a meter tall, entirely crimson, with a menacing stinger, slowly emerged. Its tail was raised high, radiating scorching venom and a fierce aura—it was the mid-grade Yellow Rank Dharma Image, the Crimson Fire Poison Scorpion!

"A mid-grade Yellow Rank Dharma Avatar, and at the peak of the Initial Awakening Realm—Ye Xiao is really going all out!"

"It seems they really have to make a move against this young man. He doesn't even have any cultivation aura; he probably can't withstand a single move from Ye Xiao!"

The disciples watching instantly erupted in excitement, taking several steps back to make way for the crowd. They stared intently at the scene, eager to see how the young man brought back to the sect by the Holy Maiden would handle the situation.

Ye Xiao activated his Dharma Form, his aura surging, and looked down at Li An with a fierce gaze: "Trash, since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite! Today I'll cripple you and send you out of the Xuan Tian Sect!"

After saying that, he manipulated the Crimson Fire Poison Scorpion Dharma Image behind him, and the scorpion tail, carrying a sharp wind and a pungent poisonous gas, fiercely stabbed towards Li An!
