818: Gu Jiansheng's Challenge

Chu Yuechan was also very surprised by the Medicinal Pill that Yang Lingchen had given her. She could tell that the quality of these Medicinal Pill was extremely high, so much so that even some top-tier Alchemist would find it difficult to refine pills of such quality.

This couldn't help but make her develop a hint of interest in Yang Lingchen, because she had witnessed Yang Lingchen's growth with her own eyes; such talent was something she had never seen before in all these years.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen remained in hard Cultivate.

His primary goal in the near future was to reach the Spirit Immortal Realm as soon as possible, and then head to the Star Pavilion to find Xing Xiyao.

Yang Lingchen had never forgotten this woman in his heart; if she hadn't brought him to the Myriad Heavens Immortal Domain, he would have likely been devoured by Yang Haotian long ago.

Whenever he thought of how Xing Xiyao had consumed all her Lifespan to save him, Yang Lingchen felt immense grief in his heart.

At the same time, his hatred for Yang Haotian had never faded.

After arriving in the Myriad Heavens Immortal Domain, killing Yang Haotian had become the greatest driving force for him to Cultivate.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and two months went by.

With the assistance of the supreme grade Golden Immortal Pill, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level soared, breaking through all obstacles until it reached the Peak of the fourth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, just one step away from the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged within the haotian jade space, continuously circulating the Undying Golden Body Art, refining the energy provided by the Medicinal Pill.

Under his repeated impacts, the barrier to the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm finally began to loosen.

"Boom, boom, boom...!"

"Fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm."

"It seems I need to find a way to earn some contribution points." Yang Lingchen thought to himself, then opened his eyes.

After his Breakthrough to the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, his medicinal herbs were almost completely exhausted, and he didn't have many contribution points left either. It probably wouldn't be so easy to Breakthrough again next time.

"It seems I still have to sell some Medicinal Pill!"

After some thought, Yang Lingchen finally decided to sell Medicinal Pill; only this way could he quickly gather a large amount of resources.

Yang Lingchen tidied up a bit and then walked out of his residence. He still had a portion of Medicinal Pill in his possession and intended to go to the Outer Court Trading Plaza to see if he could find a good stall there.

"Little Bastard, I've finally run into you. If you have any guts, let's fight on the Life and Death Stage."

Just then, a cold voice rang out, and immediately after, Gu Jiansheng's figure appeared before Yang Lingchen.

His sharp eyes were filled with bloodthirsty Killing Intent; he had already resolved to kill Yang Lingchen.

As an Inner Court Disciple, having his limbs crippled by a new Outer Court Disciple was an utter disgrace to Gu Jiansheng. It had reached the point where he had become a complete laughingstock in the Inner Court, mocked wherever he went.

Therefore, he had to wash away this shame no matter what.

"Are you sure you want a Life-and-Death Battle with me?" Yang Lingchen's tone was calm, but a flash of cold arrogance flickered in his eyes.

Before his Breakthrough to the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, he might have been slightly wary of Gu Jiansheng, but things were different now. If the two of them were to face off, Yang Lingchen was 80% confident he could kill his opponent.

"Stinky brat, are you afraid?" Gu Jiansheng's eyes flashed with cold light.

"You better think this through. There is no irreconcilable grudge between us, but if you insist on a Life-and-Death Battle, I can grant your wish." Yang Lingchen said coldly.

"Who is this guy? He's too arrogant, daring to talk to Gu Jiansheng like that."

"How would I know who he is? Looking at his cultivation level, he's only at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm. I think he's probably courting death, right?"

"You two are truly ignorant. Haven't you heard about Gu Jiansheng having his limbs broken before?"

"Could it be that this kid was the one who broke them?"

"Of course it was him. Otherwise, who else at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm would dare to provoke Gu Jiansheng?"

At this moment, some Disciple who were there to watch the commotion had already gathered, and everyone was whispering among themselves.

Everyone was still relatively unfamiliar with Yang Lingchen; after all, he hadn't joined the East Immortal Academy for long.

And since the Grand Competition of the Main Academy didn't hold much appeal for the students of the East Immortal Academy, it was normal that many people didn't know Yang Lingchen.

"Stinky brat! Since you are so rampant, let's meet at the Life and Death Stage!"

Cold Killing Intent rose in Gu Jiansheng's eyes, and he immediately flew rapidly toward the direction of the Life and Death Stage.

"Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish!"

Yang Lingchen's voice was extremely cold. A chill radiated from his entire body as his figure instantly turned into a beam of white light, rapidly chasing after Gu Jiansheng.

"Damn, this is going to be a good show!"

Some people who loved a good scene quickly followed.

War God Valley, the location of the Life and Death Stage.

There were two Arena here in total: one was the Challenge Stage, and the other was the Life and Death Stage.

The Challenge Stage only determined victory or defeat, not life or death.

The Life and Death Stage was different; once one entered the Life and Death Stage, only one person could leave alive. Here, only life and death were decided, not just victory or defeat.

Therefore, the Life and Death Stage had become the best place for East Immortal Academy Disciple to resolve conflicts.

After all, they were all Cultivator. If they encountered irreconcilable conflicts and didn't vent them, it would greatly affect their Cultivate state of mind, which was why the East Immortal Academy had built this Life-and-Death Battle stage.

"Did you hear? Yang Lingchen is going to the Life and Death Stage with Gu Jiansheng."

"Who is Yang Lingchen?"

"He's that champion of the Grand Competition of the Main Academy, the kid who crippled Gu Jiansheng's limbs by sneaking up on him last time."

"That's interesting then, let's go take a look!"

When Yang Lingchen and Gu Jiansheng arrived at the Life and Death Stage, the news of their Life-and-Death Battle spread instantly throughout the entire Outer Court like a prairie fire.

At this moment, the Utility Disciple from the Tianxin Branch Academy rushed toward the War God Valley. In their eyes, Yang Lingchen was their idol.

Ji Tiantian, Chu Yuechan, and the two sisters of Huangfu Xinyue also arrived at the War God Valley immediately.

Especially Huangfu Xinyue, who wore a worried expression. She couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart: why had she taunted Gu Jiansheng back then?

If she hadn't taunted him, he wouldn't have made a move on her, and Yang Lingchen wouldn't have been dragged into this conflict.

"Tiantian, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Huangfu Xinyue showed a hint of apology on her face.

"It's okay! Lingchen will be fine." Ji Tiantian comforted her.

She understood Yang Lingchen's character a bit; if he didn't have absolute confidence, it would be impossible for Yang Lingchen to engage in a Life-and-Death Battle with someone.

At this moment, on the Life and Death Stage, an old man wearing Elder robes was looking at Yang Lingchen and Gu Jiansheng with a serious expression.

"Are you two sure you want a Life-and-Death Battle?" the Elder asked in a deep voice.

"Sure!"

"Sure."

Yang Lingchen and Gu Jiansheng said in unison.
