55: Beating Zhou Yuxin

"What's going on between you and Yanyun?"

Dongfang Yunbing's eyes were extremely sharp as she spoke with an unfriendly tone.

"This... this, it's all this Disciple's fault."

Yang Lingchen quickly lowered his head, his face filled with regret and guilt, looking like someone who had done something wrong.

"Hmph! This Palace will spare you this time," Dongfang Yunbing snorted coldly.

"But remember this: you are my man. If I catch you flirting with other women again, don't blame me for being ruthless," Dongfang Yunbing said coldly, her voice sounding as if it could freeze someone.

"This Disciple understands," Yang Lingchen replied in a low voice, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Furthermore, from now on, aside from cultivation, you and those women must exercise restraint. If it affects my cultivation, I will cripple you. Do you understand?" Dongfang Yunbing said sternly once more.

"This Disciple remembers. Revered Master, could you please let go first?" Yang Lingchen said cautiously.

"You are still young; you should focus on cultivation. Too many romantic entanglements won't do you much good." Dongfang Yunbing's voice softened slightly, but it still carried an unquestionable authority.

"I will follow Revered Master's teachings," Yang Lingchen quickly said.

"Although you are still weak right now, I believe that one day, you will become the most outstanding man in this world," Dongfang Yunbing said slowly.

"Revered Master thinks so highly of me?" Yang Lingchen couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, because you possess the Pure Yang Body and, more importantly, you are my man," Dongfang Yunbing said firmly.

"Revered Master, actually, I have a Cultivation Technique here that should be much stronger than your dual Cultivation Technique," Yang Lingchen said softly. This was a Divine Rank dual Cultivation Technique he had found in Ling Juechen's memories.

"Is that so? Then what are you waiting for?"

At some point, Dongfang Yunbing's shawl had quietly slipped off, and her jade-like hand gently caressed Yang Lingchen's handsome face.

"Holy shit!" Yang Lingchen couldn't hold back anymore and kissed her like a wild beast.

Not to be outdone, Dongfang Yunbing waved her hand, instantly shattering Yang Lingchen's clothes. Then, she sat on him like a water snake.

At this moment, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the entire room like a tide... The next morning.

Dongfang Yunbing asked with a face full of shock, "Chener, what kind of Cultivation Technique is this? It actually allowed me to break through a minor Realm."

Not long ago, Dongfang Yunbing had just broken through to the second level of the Gui Xuan Realm; she hadn't expected to break through to the third level tonight.

"This, I'm not quite sure either. I obtained it in a ruin last time and only used it for the first time today," Yang Lingchen told a white lie.

"Revered Master, I'm about to break through as well. Could you get up first?" At that moment, Yang Lingchen felt the Profound Energy in his body reach the threshold of a Breakthrough.

Dongfang Yunbing quickly got up, dressed with swift movements, and quietly left Yang Lingchen's room.

At this time, Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, pushing all the Profound Energy in his body to charge toward the fifth level of the Void Seeking Realm.

"Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

With a series of roars, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Void Seeking Realm.

Immediately, Yang Lingchen took out countless Wenxu Pills and swallowed them one by one without hesitation.

Yang Lingchen frantically refined the Wenxu Pills, and his cultivation level climbed steadily.

Finally, before dawn, he raised his cultivation level to the Peak of the fifth level of the Void Seeking Realm.

Only then did Yang Lingchen get up to tidy the room. After a night of intense battle, the room was a mess; if he didn't clean it, someone observant could easily notice something was off.

After washing up, Yang Lingchen walked out of the room.

"Yang Lingchen, what were you doing last night? Why didn't you respond when I knocked on your door for so long?" Ling Yanyun grumbled, her tone thick with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, Sister Yanyun. I was at a critical moment in my cultivation last night, so I didn't hear you," Yang Lingchen quickly explained.

Actually, he had heard the sound, and Ling Yanyun's knocking had almost scared him into a functional disorder.

"It's fine, let's go! The Palace Master is already waiting for us," Ling Yanyun said, grabbing Yang Lingchen's arm and heading downstairs.

The group set out toward Beixuan Peak again.

Today, Beixuan Peak was still crowded with people and bustling with activity.

Everyone sat down in the area designated for the Heavenly Origin Palace.

Not long after, today's battles began.

However, what left Yang Lingchen speechless was that his first opponent today was actually Zhou Yuxin.

"Little Chenchen, I'm still giving you two choices today. Either you come back to my manor with me tonight, or I'll cripple you and then drag you back. Choose for yourself!" Zhou Yuxin laughed sinisterly.

"Pfft... Blech... Pfft... Blech... Pfft..."

As soon as Yang Lingchen stepped onto the stage, he ran to the edge of the Arena and vomited uncontrollably.

Mainly because when Zhou Yuxin laughed just now, her buck teeth were stained with some liquid—either snot or something else—and the sight was truly nauseating.

"Kid, it seems you've chosen the second path. Then I'll have to cripple you and drag you back," Zhou Yuxin sneered, her eyes full of ruthlessness.

Screw your mother.

I don't care if you're a princess or a prince.

I'm going to beat you into a pig's head today.

Yang Lingchen's eyes widened with rage. Swinging the heaven-reaching staff with full power, he instantly lashed out at Zhou Yuxin.

If it were before last night, Yang Lingchen might not have been able to defeat Zhou Yuxin. Fortunately, he had dual cultivated with Dongfang Yunbing all night.

Otherwise, he really might have been dragged back by her.

If he were really dragged back by Zhou Yuxin, he'd probably be better off dead, or at least no better than Feng Zijun.

Although Zhou Yuxin was a bit ugly, her strength and talent were beyond question.

Facing Yang Lingchen's violent attacks, Zhou Yuxin appeared to handle them with ease, responding effortlessly.

At this moment, Ling Yanyun was extremely worried. Yang Lingchen had only just agreed to be with her, and she hadn't even had a chance to "use" him yet. What if the princess used him first?

At this thought, she became even more anxious, her heart leaping into her throat.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Moves passed, and Yang Lingchen and Zhou Yuxin were locked in a fierce struggle.

Yang Lingchen's heaven-reaching staff lashed out frantically at Zhou Yuxin, his Aura as powerful as a rainbow.

Meanwhile, the longsword in Zhou Yuxin's hand was constantly striking back with sharp Moves.

Just then, Yang Lingchen unleashed a Soul attack. The Soul Devouring Slash instantly blasted into the depths of Zhou Yuxin's Soul.

"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

Suddenly, Zhou Yuxin fell into a brief daze, her eyes becoming vacant.

"Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...!"

"I'll strike, I'll strike! Let's see if I can't beat you to death, you bitch!"

Swinging the heaven-reaching staff, Yang Lingchen instantly beat Zhou Yuxin into a pig's head, leaving her in a wretched state.

"Ah... Ah... Ah...!" Zhou Yuxin let out a series of shrill screams that echoed throughout the Arena.

"I... hit..."

"Bang."

"The world is finally quiet."

Yang Lingchen's final strike slammed heavily into Zhou Yuxin, instantly sending her flying.

After all, Zhou Yuxin was a princess of the imperial family; Yang Lingchen didn't dare to kill her yet.

"Blech... Blech... Blech... Blech..."

After dealing with Zhou Yuxin, the first thing Yang Lingchen did upon returning from the stage was vomit uncontrollably.

"Lingchen, are you okay?" Ling Yanyun asked worriedly, her face full of concern.

"Sister Yanyun, I'm fine. I was just disgusted by that bitch," Yang Lingchen said, taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself.

Just then, Nangong Yan walked over and happened to see Ling Yanyun holding Yang Lingchen's arm.

"Who are you? Why are you holding my Yang Lingchen?" Nangong Yan said coldly, her eyes filled with hostility.

"I... I am Yang Lingchen's First wife. And who are you?" Ling Yanyun looked back with an equally unfriendly tone, not backing down at all.

"You have no shame, actually stealing This Young Lady's man," Nangong Yan pointed at Ling Yanyun and snapped, her face flushed with anger.

"Then why don't you ask Yang Lingchen? Whose man is he exactly?" Ling Yanyun said coldly, turning to look at Yang Lingchen.

"Alright, you two can keep arguing. It's my turn to go up."

With a flash of his figure, Yang Lingchen escaped onto the Arena. This battle came at the perfect time; otherwise, he would have been annoyed to death by the two women.

In this round, Yang Lingchen's opponent was a Genius from the Demon Cloud Sect.

Yang Lingchen showed no mercy toward people from the Demon Cloud Sect. He didn't give his opponent any chance to surrender and directly slit their throat with a single sword strike.

Since they were already mortal enemies, Yang Lingchen's principle was to kill whenever possible, and if he couldn't, he would try his best to do so.

Below the stage, the Sect Revered Master of the Demon Cloud Sect was so angry his eyes bulged and his teeth gritted; he wished he could skin Yang Lingchen alive right then and there.
