785: Tragic Zhang Wuhen

"How will you know if it works if you don't try? Don't worry! If this one doesn't work, there's always the next. Try ten or eight times a day; as long as you're thick-skinned enough, one is bound to succeed. Brother Ruochen, go for it! I have faith in you."

Yang Lingchen patted Huang Ruochen on the shoulder, encouraging him.

"Alright, if I get beaten, I get beaten! I'll go try."

Huang Ruochen gritted his teeth, mimicked Yang Lingchen's actions, tidied his hair, and then walked towards the young girl.

Yang Lingchen, on the other hand, took out the small wooden box Huang Ruoyu had left him. He gently opened it, revealing a quietly resting Image Stone inside.

"Yang Lingchen, I'm leaving. I believe that with your talent, we will meet again someday. By then, I will definitely not lose to Ouyang Yunmeng. Also, remember this: I'll be waiting for you at the Mysterious Maiden Holy Land. If you don't come, I'll make you regret it!"

Looking at Huang Ruoyu in the Image Stone, Yang Lingchen felt an inexplicable stir in his heart. He hadn't expected Ruo Yu to actually like him.

Yang Lingchen sighed in his heart, then carefully put away Ruo Yu's Image Stone. This was the only thing she had given him, so he naturally had to preserve it well.

"Brother-in-law, this move is amazing! Look, I got her sound transmission jade."

At this moment, Huang Ruochen excitedly walked over, holding a sound transmission jade in his hand.

"Not bad, you succeeded on your first try. You can be taught!" Yang Lingchen smiled and nodded.

"Brother-in-law, let's go eat some medicinal cuisine. It's my treat." Huang Ruochen said excitedly.

"Alright." Yang Lingchen smiled.

Yang Lingchen submitted his mission at the Mission Hall, then followed Huang Ruochen all the way to Tianxin Academy's Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant.

Tianxin Academy's Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant is very expensive, because the ingredients used are all top-grade medicinal herbs and Yao Beast meat, so their value is naturally very high.

After a meal of medicinal cuisine, both of them ate to their heart's content.

After returning to his residence, Yang Lingchen once again entered a state of Cultivation.

The next morning.

Yang Lingchen tidied himself up briefly, then headed towards Inner Court Class Seven.

"Look, Yang Lingchen is back."

Seeing Yang Lingchen arrive, the students of Class Seven consciously made way for him.

Yang Lingchen was now considered a prominent figure in the Inner Court.

Because when he was in the Outer Court, he had crippled Guo Peng, who was in the top hundred of the Inner Court, and after entering the Inner Court, he crippled Murong Ke.

More than twenty days ago, in Tianxin City, he again defeated Murong Cang, who was in the top ten of the Inner Court, with a single move. This Heaven-Defying Combat Power could only be described as terrifying in the Inner Court.

"Lingchen, I can't believe your cultivation level has increased so much after just twenty-odd days." Seeing Yang Lingchen, Ji Tiantian smiled faintly.

"Young Miss Tiantian is not bad either." Yang Lingchen smiled and nodded. He hadn't expected Ji Tiantian to be able to discern his cultivation level.

What surprised Yang Lingchen even more was that Ji Tiantian's cultivation level had actually reached the seventh layer of the Earth Immortal Realm. Such terrifying talent made even him admire her.

"Compared to you, I'm far behind." Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"Young Miss Tiantian is being modest. I only improved because I stumbled upon some fortuitous encounters; otherwise, I'd be far behind you." Yang Lingchen said with an awkward smile, "By the way, what's your relationship with Qiao Yanxi? How come I always see you two together?"

"She's my best friend; we grew up together." Ji Tiantian smiled sweetly.

"It's hard to imagine you two being best friends." Yang Lingchen sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Ji Tiantian asked curiously.

"You're gentle, beautiful, and wise, while she...!" Yang Lingchen smiled and shook his head, not continuing.

Initially, he had a good impression of Qiao Yanxi; after all, she was a young girl with a baby face and ample bosom, the dream of every man. But after getting to know her, he found that she was completely a big-breasted, brainless type, and never reasoned when doing things.

In contrast, Ji Tiantian was completely different; not only was she outstanding in appearance, intelligent, and wise, but her personality was also very gentle.

Most importantly, Ji Tiantian exuded a mysterious aura, which was the most attractive quality to a man, so Yang Lingchen naturally had a better impression of her.

"Am I really that good?"

Ji Tiantian's lips curved into a brilliant smile, and she said, "Such sweet talk, no wonder Ouyang Yunmeng and Ruo Yu are fighting over you."

"Cough, cough...!" Yang Lingchen coughed dryly.

"Which of them do you like more?" Ji Tiantian's lips curled into a charming smile.

"That's a difficult question for me to answer as well." Yang Lingchen said with a helpless smile.

At this moment, Gong Yubai, the tutor of Class Seven, walked in.

As the day's lessons began, Yang Lingchen listened attentively, and he also raised questions about some issues in his Cultivation.

Gong Yubai, in turn, provided his answers to the students' questions one by one.

The day's classes quickly passed, and Yang Lingchen returned to his residence... Outer Court Class Four.

As soon as Zhang Wuhen returned to the academy from Fengdi City, he encountered a tall young girl.

"You are Zhang Wuhen?"

"Senior Sister, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Wuhen had already developed a psychological trauma from Murong Xiaoxiao. Now, whenever he saw a tall woman, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Hand over the three million immortal spirit crystals!" The tall young girl coldly glanced at Zhang Wuhen.

"Senior Sister, are you mistaken? I don't owe you any immortal spirit crystals!" Zhang Wuhen frowned slightly.

"Nonsense, of course you don't owe me, but you owe Senior Sister Huangfu immortal spirit crystals, you haven't forgotten, have you?" The tall young girl said coldly.

"Senior Sister, are you mistaken? I don't know any Senior Sister Huangfu at all." Zhang Wuhen quickly said.

He only had three million immortal spirit crystals in his pocket, so he naturally couldn't just hand them over for nothing.

"Still playing dumb."

The young girl directly slapped Zhang Wuhen across the face and said coldly, "Say one more word, and don't blame me for being impolite."

"Slap...!"

With a crisp slap, Zhang Wuhen was spun around several times before he stopped.

"You old hag, my granduncle is the Third Elder. If you dare to touch me, I'm not done with you." Zhang Wuhen roared.

"If you owe Senior Sister Huangfu immortal spirit crystals, even if your granduncle is the Third Elder, he can't save you." The young girl finished speaking, then slapped him again, coldly shouting, "If you keep yapping, I'll break your dog legs."

"Young Miss Huangfu? Which Young Miss Huangfu exactly?" Zhang Wuhen finally calmed down.
