Liang Kexin had been adventuring in the outside world for almost a year now, allowing her to clearly understand the underlying meaning behind the words spoken by Xun Hanrui. The red color on her face also gradually faded, as she quickly spoke up, “Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, to give this humble me a chance to become friends with Senior Apprentice Xun, it really is me being honoured. It really was an error on my part, and I had originally assumed that Senior Apprentice Sister Xun had helped me out for someone else, hearing your words, I immediately realized how wrong was I and am really relieved.”
Xun Hanrui once again gave a calm laugh and spoke, “Don’t worry about it, it was out of my own free will that I help you. If you feel that someone owes something to someone, then it is actually Ning Cheng who owes me a favour…”
“Uh….” Fu Shengnan on seeing that Xun Hanrui not even giving her some face, caused her face to sink, and couldn’t help but turn away, it was obvious that she really was feeling quite uncomfortable in her heart.
Xun Hanrui did not seem to care about it, as she once again spoke to Liang Kexin, “Come, oh right, how come I do not see Ning Cheng with you?”
“Oh, Ning Cheng went out for a few things, he should be on his way back.” Liang Kexin quickly replied.
“Good, you need to work hard if you want to join the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect; I will be taking my leave first.” Having finished speaking, Xun Hanrui beckoned Fu Shengnan before picking a direction and left.
The young man who was at the Soul Essence 5th Level, who was still with Xun Hanrui, suddenly spoke up, “This time Junior Apprentice Sister Shengnan seems to have become truly angry.”
Xun Hanrui just gave a smile and spoke, “That’s not it, Shengnan’s temper is simply too volatile, moreover it is not the first time she’s behaving like this.”
“Junior Apprentice Sister Hanrui, the fact is that those two Profound Congealing Cultivators are something not even worth mentioning, why you would want to have your sisterly relations impacted for just a minor disagreement……”
Xun Hanrui showed a faint smile but did not answer the young man’s question. She and Fu Shengnan were only friends and absolutely did not have a sister like relationship, if she took into consideration everything the other party wanted, including even their moods, then how could she even find any time for her own cultivation practice. Although she looked soft and delicate on the outside but she had a very firm nature on the inside, and there was hardly anything from the outside that would affect her actions.
“So, you want me to go along with Shengnan’s persuasion.” Saying that to the young male cultivator on her side, Xun Hanrui just gave another smile and increased her own pace.
……
“Junior Apprentice Sister Shengnan, Hanrui did not do this intentionally, you should really not take it to heart.” The young male cultivator quickly caught up with Fu Shengnan in a fast yet not so fast manner.
Fu Shengnan’s face betrayed her, showing that she still was somewhat uncomfortable, “That Hanrui really! She obviously knows that I hate that guy, and yet she still went ahead and helped him……”
Speaking till here Fu Shengnan suddenly remembered something as she turned towards this young male cultivator who had just caught up to her and spoke, “Senior Apprentice Brother Wen, that Ning Cheng will be coming to participate in the disciple selection, can you find someone who can help me get rid of him. In any case, he would have to enter the arena for the battles, if he ends up dying there, nobody would be able to say anything.”
“You want to kill him that much?” The young looking male cultivator was also quite surprised as he looked at Fu Shengnan, although he himself was quite unhappy with Ning Cheng, but he only wanted to teach Ning Cheng a lesson, and really did not have any intentions to kill Ning Cheng.
“That’s right; I HAVE to kill this guy. Just seeing this person makes me unhappy in my heart, I really cannot figure out why Hanrui would even want to help such people, it really makes me irritated just thinking about it.” Fu Shengnan spoke up with a non-reconcilable tone.
The young male cultivator suddenly gave a laugh and spoke, “An intermediate stage Profound Congealing Cultivator, in my eyes is just an ant. Since Junior Apprentice Sister Shengnan wishes to get rid of this guy, I can definitely arrange it for you; I will also guarantee that he would disappear from this world forever.”
“Many thanks Senior Apprentice Brother Wen.” Fu Shengnan immediately cast a gentle look towards him.
……
As Ning Cheng rushed towards the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Sword Stone, the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s disciple selection had already began. The huge Sword Stone was crowded with cultivators. Thirty battle arenas were erected on the Sword Stone, and there were countless cultivators standing around them as curious spectators.
“Sure enough, there are more people here on the Sword Stone than the public square.” Ning Cheng spoke to himself in his heart; he really had never seen such a huge stone till now.
At this moment, there were many people who were crowding about on the Sword Stone; moreover, they were all so closely packed to such an extent that there hardly seemed to be any gaps. Several huge array formation displays were erected in the most obvious positions, and these array formations displayed the numerous contestants participating in each of the arenas.
Ning Cheng did not dare to use his spiritual consciousness to sweep out at the people standing on the sword stone; moreover, he was well aware that Liang Kexin would definitely make it here at all costs. He just directed his spiritual consciousness to descend on the huge array formations display, and soon found his own name. No. 3000 Ning Cheng poised for battle against No. 631 Wu Zhuo in the 9
th
battle arena.
Ning Cheng quickly rushed towards the 9
th
battle arena, he was well aware that he cannot delay for time. On the display array formation, it was clearly mentioned that if he did not show up before the time it took for a kettle of tea to boil, the score he would obtain would actually go into negative. If both the people did not arrive within the stipulated time, then both of them would get a negative score.
On the 9th stage, there were already two people battling it out, both of them were intermediate stage Profound Congealing Cultivators, one was at Profound Congealing 4th Level, while the other was at Profound Congealing 6th Level.
Just as Ning Cheng somehow made his way towards the edge of the arena marked as no. 9, the Profound Congealing 4th Level Cultivator suddenly brought out a talisman and hurled it towards the Profound Congealing 6th Level Cultivator. Till that point of time, the Profound Congealing 6th Level Cultivator was the one having the upper hand, but when he say the Profound Congealing 4th Level Cultivator bring out a talisman, he also did not hesitate to bring out a talisman of his own.
The two talismans exploded on contact with each other; however, the Profound Congealing 6th Level Cultivator used the cover of the explosion to bring a flying needle.
Ning Cheng already had a formidable spiritual consciousness, as such he could make out all the things happening clearly, that Profound Congealing 4th Level Cultivator was not able to react to the flying needle, causing him to be sent flying out of the arena in an instant, before dying shortly afterwards.
Ning Cheng was somewhat surprised in his heart, the skill that this cultivator used was somewhat similar to the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle that he used.
“No. 913 Yin Yongsheng wins, next No. 3000 Ning Cheng and No. 631 Wu Zhuo…… ” The cultivator presiding over the arena shouted out immediately.

When Ning Cheng heard his name being called, he hastily made his way onto the arena platform. Although he was a
lready quite fast, but there was another person faster than him, it a yellow robe wearing male cultivator, who was almost like a shadowy blur as he rushed past him and landed on the middle of the ninth platform.
“No. 3000’s luck is really bad; he unexpectedly has to go against that Wu Zhuo.”
“Even if he did not meet Wu Zhuo, by virtue of his intermediate stage Profound Congealing Cultivation, wouldn’t it already be difficult for him to make the cut?”
After Ning Cheng and Wu Zhuo entered the stage, he could hear that the cultivators in the audience seemed to have some understanding towards this Wu Zhuo, as they whispered amongst themselves.
Seeing the two people had already entered the stage, the cultivator presiding over the ninth stage lazily called out, “Let the battle begin.”
That yellow robed cultivator on hearing the words ‘start the battle’, did not even bother to speak a single word, and directly brought out a blue green thunder spade while simultaneously pouncing on Ning Cheng, it was apparent that this was an all-out attack from his part. With his true essence overflowing, the imposing aura emanating from the magical weapon was extremely powerful, even the restrictions on the stage were giving off buzzing like noises, showing that this imposing aura was far beyond that of ordinary Profound Congealing Cultivators.
Seeing this, Ning Cheng was quite perplexed in his heart, the other party was definitely a cultivator at the great circle of the Profound Congealing Realm, according to logic for a cultivator at the great circle of the Profound Congealing Realm to defeat a Profound Congealing 7th Level Cultivator, they would not have to exert themselves in such a desperate manner, right?
Although this thought only flashed for just a moment in Ning Cheng’s mind, but he did not continue to pursue it. He had even successfully killed a Soul Essence Cultivator, although he had achieved that with the help of successfully blowing up his Soul Essence Puppet, but the fact remained that he did kill a Soul Essence Cultivator. A Profound Congealing Cultivator, when compared to a Soul Essence Cultivator, the difference was something akin to that of the heaven and earth; moreover, there was the entire Profound Core Realm in the middle of the two. Even if the other party was twice as powerful as they were at this moment, it was still not enough for him to worry or even pay attention to seriously.
Bringing out his Profound Break Spear, he simply brought out a simple spear pattern, which completely blocked the berserk like imposing aura of the blue green thunder spade.
If Ning Cheng wanted to kill this yellow robed cultivator by the name of Wu Zhuo, all he had to do was to continuously gather and push out slightly with the spear intent of his Profound Break Spear, which currently was more than enough to restrict the other party’s blue green thunder spade. And then follow it up with a casual fist strike from his part, or he could even use his Profound Ice Spear Technique, simply put he had many means to completely and easily eradicate this Wu Zhuo in front of him. In other words, he simply would not even have to make a second move at all.
However, Ning Cheng really did not intend to kill Wu Zhuo, there were many disciples from the many influential clans and families participating in this disciple selection. As such, there was no need for him to display a heavy hand. After using his Profound Break Spear to completely seal up the blue green thunder spade, he immediately stopped.
In Ning Cheng’s view, as long as Wu Zhuo was not a fool, he would definitely take the initiative to throw in the towel.
However, the result was something contrary to what Ning Cheng had thought of, Wu Zhuo not only did not throw in the towel, but also rather crazily stimulated his blue green thunder spade with a monstrous murderous aura, bringing it almost to its breaking point, as he directed it to clash against Ning Cheng’s spear pattern. Turning into a blue green thunder line, it forced its way towards the middle of Ning Cheng’s forehead. However, he also seemed to be aware that just a single blue green thunder line might not be enough to kill Ning Cheng, causing Wu Zhuo to even bring out two talismans, while he simultaneously stimulated the two talismans in his hands.
Ning Cheng himself was just in the initial stages of being able to refine his own Level 5 Talismans, as such when Wu Zhuo took out those two talismans; he was immediately able to make out that those were two Level 5 Talismans. A single Level 5 Talisman was already more than enough to kill a Profound Congealing Cultivator, so wouldn’t it be easily imagined as to what would happen with two?
This person not only wanted to win, however it seems that he was even prepared to kill himself for it. Ning Cheng understood this almost instantaneously. No wonder Wu Zhuo was attacking with all he had, it seems he knew that he would die no matter what.
If it was before, Ning Cheng had really not intended to kill Wu Zhuo, but now that he was aware that Wu Zhuo wanted to kill him at all costs, he no longer held back his hand. Immediately stirring up his powerful true essence, he was aware that the talismans in the hands of Wu Zhuo would still take a bit more time to be completely activated. Taking advantage of this momentary gap, Ning Cheng blasted out with his Profound Break Spear.
That single blue green thunder line, under the suppression of the true essence from the Profound Break Spear, completely collapsed in an instant and could not even provide the slightest resistance to the Profound Break Spear. In just a time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, the spear had already covered the distance between the two, and had directly arrived in front of Wu Zhuo’s glabella.
Wu Zhuo’s eyes betrayed the shock, as he could not believe the sight of the Profound Break Spear right in front of his eyes, even the light from the still activating talisman had also died down. He really could not figure out how could a Profound Congealing Cultivator be powerful to such a level?
“I don’t want to kill you, however I also never let people who want to kill me stay alive. If someone wanted to borrow you to kill me, then now would be the time to tell me who was the one who asked you to kill me. Or you can simply borrow my hand to kill yourself.” Ning Cheng spoke with a satire filled tone. He really could not figure out this part, especially why the other party wanted to kill him despite his precautions. His last sentence was just a test, he did not know if Wu Zhuo wanted to kill him out of his own violation or was there someone behind all this.
Wu Zhuo’s pupils gradually enlarged from fear, Ning Cheng’s last words finally woke him up to reality, as he spoke in a shaky voice, “The one who gave me the talismans, letting me kill you was a core disciple from the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect named Wen Han……”
Thump. After saying that one sentence, Wu Zhuo no longer was able to stand on his feet, as he directly fell down from the platform, where he finally took his last breath.
The cultivator who presided over the battle still spoke out in an uninterested voice, “No. 3000 Ning Cheng wins, let the next one……”
……
“Senior Apprentice Brother Wen, that guy should have been killed right?” In the main hall of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Mission Assignment Hall, Fu Shengnan suddenly asked the young male cultivator standing by her side in a soft voice.
The young male cultivator simply gave a smile and spoke, “Junior Apprentice Sister Shengnan, you can be assured of it, he is just a puny intermediate stage Profound Congealing Ant. Wu Zhuo is famous for his aggressiveness in the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s makeshift market, moreover he is also at the great circle of the Profound Congealing Realm. Moreover I have also given him a few Level 5 Talismans, for him to get rid of a single intermediate stage Profound Congealing Ant, it is something really simple……”
“That’s good then; many thanks Senior Apprentice Brother Wen, if this person is not killed, then I would forever be feeling uncomfortable in my heart.” Fu Shengnan spoke up in a soft tone; however, she knew that even if Ning Cheng was killed, there was already a blotch on her heart because of him. Just a puny Profound Congealing Ant, and yet daring to call her, a venerable Soul Essence Cultivator, to ‘fuck off’. It was really unfortunate that she could n
ot personally kill that person.
“It is but a trivial thing……” The young male cultivator called as Senior Apprentice Brother Wen spoke up, as he truly did not care about such a thing.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Wen….” A somewhat excited voice interrupted this young looking male cultivator’s talks, which was followed by the figure of a male cultivator who was neither too tall nor too short, with an eager, even borderline urgent, look on his face.
This Senior Apprentice Brother Wen on seeing this male cultivator immediately gave a laugh and spoke, “So it was originally Junior Disciple Fu, seeing Junior Disciple Fu giving off such a smile, there must be something good that happened.”
“Senior Apprentice Brother Wen, you must already be aware of the newly released 17th Mission.” This not so tall looking male cultivator pointed out to huge array screen in the front depicting the numerous missions and assignment.
Fu Shengnan was the first to notice it, as she spoke up in surprise, “The Great Liang True Country and the Norther Shang True Country are at war; moreover their war is also so brutal?”
The Junior Disciple Fu who just spoke a moment ago, immediately replied, “That’s right, moreover the casualties from both the true countries are already innumerable, with countless cities from both sides reduced to rubble……”
As the cultivator surnamed Fu spoke until here, he lowered his voice and spoke up, “Taking up this mission will definitely be a huge opportunity, besides…..”
“The Great Liang True Country and the Northern Shang True Country are not under the jurisdiction of our Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, how can the sect release this kind of a mission? Besides, is it even necessary for dispatching some Soul Essence Disciples to have a look, moreover they are two huge true countries at war, what kind of huge opportunity could be obtained from this?” Fu Shengnan asked in a puzzling manner.
