814: Bandaging incident

At this moment, the two fiercely collided. Both sides used deadly moves, refusing to yield an inch.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of moves passed. By now, Yang Lingchen had seized the absolute initiative, completely suppressing Liu Xinyuan.

"Stinky brat, go die!"

Suddenly, Liu Xinyuan roared, and a mysterious Talismanic Incantation shot toward Yang Lingchen with the speed of lightning.

Facing this terrifying Talismanic Incantation, a grave expression flashed across Yang Lingchen's face. In his haste, he quickly took out the undying god king seal and smashed it toward the mysterious Talismanic Incantation.

"Rumble...!"

A loud explosion shook the surroundings. Yang Lingchen's body was forced back several thousand zhang before he managed to stabilize himself.

"Stinky brat, you are definitely going to die today!"

At this moment, Liu Xinyuan swung his sword toward Yang Lingchen again. A strong killing intent flickered in his eyes, and his exquisite sword technique earned the admiration of countless people.

"Heavenly Thunder Devours Soul!"

A cold light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He instantly unleashed a Soul attack, and at the same time, he suddenly waved his right hand, sending a stream of Icy Flame shooting towards Liu Xinyuan like a meteor.

"Boom...!"

As Yang Lingchen's Soul Martial Skill blasted into his Sea of Consciousness, Liu Xinyuan fell into a state of stupor. At that moment, the Icy Flame instantly slammed into his chest and began burning wildly.

"Ahhhhhh...!"

Liu Xinyuan instantly let out a fierce scream, "I give...!"

Suddenly, a sky-splitting spear carrying a black radiance flashed past, instantly piercing through Liu Xinyuan's mouth.

"You...!"

Liu Xinyuan's gaze gradually scattered, revealing a trace of despair. Having originally entered the East Immortal Academy, he had a bright future ahead, yet he never expected to die here.

At this moment, he regretted immensely: why did he insist on challenging Yang Lingchen?

Silence...!

The scene was filled with shock. No one expected that Liu Xinyuan, one of the biggest favorites to win the Grand Competition of the Main Academy, would actually die on the Arena.

One must know that Liu Xinyuan was no ordinary Genius; his true combat power far surpassed that of typical Cultivators in the Early Stage of the Spirit Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Duan Tianhao looked utterly distraught. Liu Xinyuan's demise also completely declared the failure of the Tiankun Branch Academy.

The moment Yang Lingchen stepped off the Arena, the Tianxin Branch Academy side completely erupted, and everyone surrounded him.

Even Qiao Yanxi, who used to look down on Yang Lingchen, now thoroughly admired him.

As for the two sisters, Huangfu Xinyue and Huangfu Xinrou, their eyes were filled with the light of adoration.

"Brother-in-law, that spear strike of yours was too handsome."

"Boss, isn't your combat power a bit too exaggerated?!"

At this, Huang Ruochen and Yuwen Chengfeng also walked over excitedly.

The Top Ten Selection Battle was still ongoing, but after killing Liu Xinyuan, Yang Lingchen was completely free.

After all, this was only the Top Ten Selection Battle, not the final Championship Battle. Some powerful contestants did not want to fight Yang Lingchen to the death at this stage.

In the evening, the Top Ten Selection Battle finally concluded, and the rankings for the top hundred were finalized.

In the end, Huangfu Xinrou and Huangfu Xinyue secured the seventy-sixth and seventy-seventh places, respectively.

Ji Tiantian secured the forty-sixth place.

And Chu Yuechan secured the fourth place.

However, Yang Lingchen could tell that Chu Yuechan hadn't used her full strength, not even half of her power.

Afterward, everyone returned to the Tianxin Branch Academy's encampment area.

That evening, the entire Tianxin Branch Academy was bustling with activity. To celebrate Yang Lingchen and Chu Yuechan securing spots in the top ten, Huangfu Zhengtian hosted a celebratory banquet inside the temporarily stationed manor.

At the banquet, Yang Lingchen and Chu Yuechan became the undisputed protagonists, and many students from the Tianxin Branch Academy offered them toasts.

Yang Lingchen was surrounded by beauties; Ji Tiantian sat on his left, and Chu Yuechan sat on his right.

After the banquet, Yang Lingchen returned to his room. He was determined to win the Top Ten Ranking Battle tomorrow.

Of course, if Chu Yuechan wanted the championship, he naturally wouldn't compete with her for it.

"Knock, knock, knock...!"

Just as Yang Lingchen was preparing to bathe and rest, a clear knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Tiantian, why are you here?"

Yang Lingchen gently opened the door.

"Mmm...!"

Before Yang Lingchen finished speaking, Ji Tiantian kissed his lips, her hands gently wrapping around his neck.

"Give it to me!"

Ji Tiantian's voice was a whisper, laced with seduction, stirring a desire for conquest in one's heart. At the same time, her right hand gently reached downwards.

"Holy sh*t...!"

Yang Lingchen quickly embraced Ji Tiantian, and their figures instantly entered the haotian jade space... The next morning, the dawn broke, the sun rose, and sunlight streamed through the curtains, penetrating the light mist.

Yang Lingchen and Ji Tiantian tidied up briefly, then walked out of the room.

"Sister Tiantian, why were you in his room?"

As the two walked out of the room, they ran into Qiao Yanxi approaching them.

"I got a little injured yesterday, and Tiantian helped me bandage it up," Yang Lingchen explained.

"Bandaging? Who are you trying to fool! You weren't injured at all yesterday," Qiao Yanxi retorted irritably.

"If you don't believe me, ask Tiantian. We were definitely bandaging last night," Yang Lingchen said with a half-smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qiao Yanxi looked confused, then realized the implication, "scoundrel!"

"How am I a rogue? You... couldn't possibly be thinking dirty thoughts, right?" Yang Lingchen shook his head helplessly.

"Pfft...!"

Ji Tiantian, standing nearby, couldn't hold back and giggled.

"It's clearly because your words were ambiguous," Qiao Yanxi snapped.

"Alright, it's my fault for not explaining clearly. I did get a tiny injury on my thigh yesterday. Tiantian helped me bandage it, and it was already healed this morning," Yang Lingchen said solemnly.

"You... I'm not talking to you anymore, Rogue!" By now, Qiao Yanxi knew perfectly well that Yang Lingchen was deliberately teasing her.

Afterward, the three arrived at the manor's gathering place. Then, under the leadership of Huangfu Zhengtian, the group once again arrived at the Mountain Gate Plaza of the East Immortal Academy.

When all the contestants had gathered, Liu Yunnan, the Outer Court Elder of the East Immortal Academy, stepped forward and announced loudly:

"Next, we will proceed with the Top Ten Ranking Battle. During this battle, maliciously taking lives or crippling a person's Dantian is strictly prohibited. Violators will have their qualification to join the academy revoked."

"The Top Ten Ranking Battle officially begins now!"

As the Ranking Battle began, Yang Lingchen's first opponent was Dongfang Tong from the Junnan Branch Academy.

This person's cultivation level was at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, and his true combat power was in no way weaker than Liu Xinyuan's, perhaps even slightly stronger.

As soon as the battle started, Dongfang Tong immediately launched a fierce attack against Yang Lingchen... To be continued!
