754: Qiao Yanxi and Ji Tiantian's chat

A flash of surprise also crossed Yang Lingchen's eyes.

He could tell that Yuwen Chengfeng was very strong, possessing the strength to fight across at least three minor Realms.

If Yang Lingchen's cultivation level hadn't broken through to the Seventh Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, he might not have been able to defeat the current Yuwen Chengfeng.

After Yuwen Chengfeng defeated Lü Blood Wolf, he continued to challenge others. His rank quickly soared, all the way to fifth place on the profound immortal ranking list.

At this point, Yuwen Chengfeng finally stopped his challenges.

The challenges for the profound immortal ranking list continued, and soon it was Yang Lingchen's turn to take the stage.

Since he had no ranking on the profound immortal ranking list, he could only start challenging from the back, and he could only challenge up to a hundred spots ahead each time.

When the Elder presiding over the profound immortal ranking list called out Yang Lingchen's name, the scene instantly erupted into a frenzy.

Almost no one in the Outer Court had not heard of the name Yang Lingchen; thus, as soon as he stepped onto the stage, his opponent chose to concede.

"Holy crap, why did that Jinx Yang Lingchen come to fight on the profound immortal ranking list?"

"Things are getting exciting now. I just heard that he crippled Guo Peng, who was ranked in the top 100 of the Inner Court."

"He crippled Guo Peng? When did that happen?"

"Not long ago, about three hours ago. You couldn't possibly not know such explosive news, right?"

"I really didn't know. I've been here watching the profound immortal ranking list challenges the whole time."

At this moment, a huge commotion broke out at the scene. Countless people cast their gazes toward Yang Lingchen, and some female Disciples even threw flirtatious glances at him on the stage from time to time.

With Yang Lingchen's appearance, everyone he challenged chose to concede. Consequently, his rank soared, and he also earned a large number of contribution points.

Every victory in the profound immortal ranking list challenge grants fifty thousand contribution points. By now, Yang Lingchen had already won over twenty consecutive matches, earning more than a million contribution points in one go.

The subsequent challenges went quite smoothly; most of those challenged by Yang Lingchen chose to concede.

Those who didn't concede were basically defeated by Yang Lingchen in a single move.

In a corner of the stands, two young women with ethereal temperaments and dreamlike beauty were watching Yang Lingchen on the Arena.

"Yanxi, this Yang Lingchen really is a freak. It's only been a month since we last saw him, and to think his cultivation level has actually risen to the Seventh Layer of Profound Immortal Realm." A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Tiantian's beautiful eyes.

"This guy's talent is indeed good, but with his arrogant personality, he'll suffer a major setback sooner or later," Qiao Yanxi said.

She had heard quite a bit about Yang Lingchen's deeds during this period.

In Qiao Yanxi's eyes, Yang Lingchen was nothing more than a boor with decent talent.

"You think he's arrogant, but that's just your prejudice against him! In the long history of the Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm, which of those Prodigies with extraordinary talent was ever low-key?" Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"That may be so, but this kid is too arrogant. Guo Peng is one of Jun Lingyu's people, yet he just crippled him like that. Do you think Jun Lingyu will let him off?" Qiao Yanxi said.

"Jun Lingyu may be powerful, but don't forget, Yang Lingchen is Chu Yuechan's Disciple. As far as I know, back in the Lanxian Sect, he was the only male Disciple under Chu Yuechan. Do you think Chu Yuechan would let anything happen to him?" Ji Tiantian said.

"Chu Yuechan? No wonder this kid is so arrogant." Qiao Yanxi's eyes suddenly flickered as she asked, "Sister Tiantian, how do you know so much about this kid? You don't actually like him, do you?"

"Yanxi, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly like him?"

Ji Tiantian said irritably, "Do you think Yang Lingchen has the potential to grow into a Genius of Baili Jianyun's caliber in the future?"

"Him?" A trace of disdain flashed in Qiao Yanxi's beautiful eyes, and she shook her head.

"Yanxi, don't underestimate Yang Lingchen. He's only fifty years old, yet his cultivation level has already reached the Seventh Layer of Profound Immortal Realm."

"More importantly, his ability to fight across Realms is extremely strong. If given enough time to grow, it's not impossible for him to surpass Baili Jianyun in the future." A strange light flashed in Ji Tiantian's beautiful eyes.

"Sister Tiantian, Yang Lingchen's talent is indeed good, but you're overlooking one point. For a person to grow, they need a vast amount of resources and must go through countless hardships. The variables involved are unpredictable. This world has never lacked Geniuses, but it's already good if one in a hundred thousand can truly grow up."

"And the current Baili Jianyun has already reached a height that countless people look up to. Coupled with the power behind him, for Yang Lingchen to catch up to him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven," Qiao Yanxi explained.

"What you say makes sense, but for some reason, I have a feeling that Yang Lingchen's future will definitely exceed our imagination," Ji Tiantian said, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Sister Tiantian, you haven't really been charmed by this kid, have you?"

Qiao Yanxi blinked her beautiful eyes and continued, "Aside from being a bit handsome, in terms of family background and cultivation talent, what part of him can compare to Baili Jianyun?"

"Since Baili Jianyun is so outstanding in your eyes, why did you take me and run away from the wedding? Wouldn't it be fine if we just married him?" Ji Tiantian said irritably.

"I don't like him, so why should I marry him? Besides, he has a ton of women; that kind of man is what I hate most," Qiao Yanxi said, pouting.

"It doesn't seem like he has that many women!" Ji Tiantian said doubtfully.

"Including us two fiancées, he already has nearly ten women. Is that not many?" Qiao Yanxi said angrily. "Moreover, his arrogance and conceit really repulse me."

"For a Genius of his caliber, ten women is actually quite few. As for arrogance and conceit, that is indeed a flaw of his, but it's understandable for a Genius to be a bit arrogant," Ji Tiantian said.

"Sister Tiantian, then why don't you like him?" Qiao Yanxi asked curiously.

"I don't like him, but I don't dislike him either. The reason I ran away from the wedding with you was mainly because I was afraid you'd be too lonely by yourself," Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Tiantian." Qiao Yanxi hugged Ji Tiantian and said movingly, "We must be the Dominator of our own fates; we absolutely cannot let others be the Dominator of our marriages."

"Of course. If it's a man I have no feelings for, no matter how strong he is, I won't give him a second look. If I like someone, no matter how weak he is, I won't look down on him," Ji Tiantian said.

"Sister Tiantian, why do I feel like you're setting the stage for something?" Qiao Yanxi's eyes darted as she said, "You don't really have feelings for Yang Lingchen, do you?"

"What nonsense? I've only met him three times in total and have barely spoken to him. How could I possibly fall for him?" Ji Tiantian said irritably.

"Then I'm relieved. Sister Tiantian, we made a vow when we were little that we'd share a husband when we grew up. You definitely shouldn't pick a pervert like Yang Lingchen," Qiao Yanxi said.

"Pfft...!"

"How is he a pervert?" Ji Tiantian let out a tender laugh.

"The first time I saw him, he almost... started doing it with the Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird."

At the thought of Yang Lingchen being naked at that time, her pretty face flushed crimson.

"Wasn't he forced?" Ji Tiantian said. "Besides, wasn't he saved by you then?"

"But it's a fact that his willpower wasn't firm!" Qiao Yanxi said with a playful pout. "A man with such weak willpower is the most likely to fool around."

"Given the Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird's wanton appearance back then, what man could have resisted?"

Ji Tiantian chuckled and said, "In that situation, if he hadn't reacted, there would be only one possibility: he's a eunuch."

"Alright, let's stop talking about this. That guy is about to challenge someone again."

Qiao Yanxi helped change the subject and turned her gaze toward Yang Lingchen on the Arena.

By now, Yang Lingchen had achieved a 100-match winning streak, and his name had successfully entered the top fifty.

The person he wanted to challenge now was precisely the fifth-ranked Yuwen Chengfeng. As it happened, the other party was at the scene today, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Yang Lingchen knew that only by fighting against Geniuses of the same level could his actual combat ability become even stronger.
