This sleeve arrow has been a real workhorse.
From Yu Xiaogang down to the gatekeeper, everyone has been pointed at by this thing.
Li Xun never imagined that he would one day receive such an honor.
Knowing where the killing intent was coming from, Li Xun's Spiritual Energy began to circulate within him, and his second Martial Soul stirred.
He had hidden weapons too.
"Xiao San, let's go."
Just as the two were about to clash, Yu Xiaogang's voice rang out.
Hearing his teacher's call, Tang San gave Li Xun a deep look. If it weren't for Qin Ming's presence, he would have already taken action.
Li Xun watched the master and disciple walk away, feeling as if seven cheerful sheep were galloping through his heart.
Since his transmigration, although he often teased Tang San and his teacher, he never harbored any intention to harm them.
As for seizing resources, isn't that what every transmigrator should do?
The resources were there, still unclaimed. Just because Tang San might obtain them in the future, does that mean they are destined to be his?
As his cultivation level continued to rise, it was inevitable that he would have more interactions with Tang San. Given Tang San's vengeful nature, Li Xun had already offended him.
It seemed he needed to make plans early.
"Li Xun, this isn't over! When we return to the academy, I will challenge you to avenge the humiliation you brought upon my uncle." Just as Li Xun's thoughts were swirling, Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, pointed at Li Xun, and then turned to chase after Yu Xiaogang.
Li Xun felt his fists clench.
"Ahem, Xiao Xun, don't take it to heart. Tianheng is just momentarily flustered. As his teammate, you should try to understand him."
Qin Ming, sensing the tension, quickly stepped in to mediate.
"Teacher, it was his uncle and disciple who provoked me first," Li Xun said calmly, glancing at Qin Ming. "I'll wait for him at the academy."
"Xiao Xun..." Qin Ming wanted to say more.
But Li Xun ignored him, leading Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan back the way they came.
If it weren't for the possibility of Tang Hao lurking in the shadows, he would have loved to carve the word "miserable" all over the three of them.
At the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy training grounds.
Li Xun had been cultivating here for the past few days. Through his exploration, he had gained a deeper understanding of his skills.
As his Soul Power reached level 23, the plants summoned by his first Soul Skill, Tree World Genesis, had grown to a height of one meter, with a thickness comparable to an adult's wrist.
Although the size hadn't increased much, the number of plants had more than doubled.
With the amplification of his Soul Power and second Spirit Ring, the original dozens of saplings had now grown to over 150.
Moreover, the plants had inherited the toughness of Solitary Bamboo. Even if Li Xun tried to chop them down with an axe, it would take considerable effort.
But the most encouraging aspect was the rapid growth brought by his second Soul Skill.
Previously, when Li Xun used Ninjutsu, he had to wait two seconds for the saplings to grow. Now, that time had been reduced to one second, and the energy consumption was even less.
"Brother, Yu Tianheng is back. Are you really going to challenge him?" Ning Rongrong hurriedly found Li Xun, who was in the middle of his cultivation.
Li Xun slowly opened his eyes. The reason he had been cultivating here was to wait for Yu Tianheng's return.
What the other party had done had pushed him to the limit of his patience.
Coincidentally, Li Xun also needed someone to test the extent of his Soul Skills and Ninjutsu combination. Although he knew some Wood Release, his Spiritual Energy was still at the level of a Low Ninja.
Yu Tianheng was the perfect candidate.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Li Xun gave Ning Rongrong a light flick on the forehead.
"Ah! I'm just worried about you, okay? That Yu Tianheng is already at level 29, almost reaching level 30," Ning Rongrong said, covering her head in frustration.
She had only seen Li Xun make a move once, and that was against a fellow student of the same level.
But Yu Tianheng was different from those two spoiled brats. He was a genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrant School, and it was said that he would be a seed player representing the academy in future competitions.
His strength went without saying.
"Do you really have so little faith in your big brother's abilities?" Li Xun slowly stood up, looking towards the edge of the arena.
Yu Tianheng had already reached the edge of the arena, with a crowd of students watching the spectacle behind him.
The news of Li Xun challenging Yu Tianheng had spread far and wide.
It all started when Qin Ming tried to dissuade Li Xun but failed, so he sought out the dean, Meng Shenji, hoping to dissuade Li Xun and ensure harmony between the two sects and the stability of the team.
But who would have thought that Li Xun wouldn't even give Meng Shenji face.
Meng Shenji had no choice but to urgently contact Ning Fengzhi.
Upon hearing the news, Ning Fengzhi rushed to the academy overnight. After meeting with Li Xun, he stated that the disciple's wishes came first and then returned home.
There are no walls that don't let wind through, and the actions of these two big shots were naturally noticed by others.
After some inquiries, they gradually learned the full story of the matter.
Dugu Yan quickly passed Yu Tianheng and came to Li Xun's side: "Brother Li Xun, are you confident?"
Her feelings were complicated at the moment.
For the past two years, Yu Tianheng had been pursuing her. Although she hadn't agreed, she still felt a bit of joy in her heart.
If things progressed slowly, the two of them might have ended up together.
But a series of recent events made her realize that Yu Tianheng's character wasn't as good as he had portrayed in front of her.
"Don't worry, Sister Yan."
Li Xun nodded at Dugu Yan and slowly walked towards Yu Tianheng.
He dared to issue the challenge because he was confident.
No matter how strong Yu Tianheng was, he was only a level 29 Soul Grand Master. Li Xun could remain undefeated just by relying on his Ninjutsu.
"Anyone want to place a bet?"
Seeing that Li Xun and Yu Tianheng were about to face off, Oslo shouted loudly.
This call immediately received a wide response.
"How are we betting?" an elderly voice asked.
"Yu Tianheng is fourteen, a level 29 Soul Master, and his Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The odds are four to one."
"Li Xun is eight, just obtained his second Spirit Ring, and his Martial Soul is a wooden carving. The odds are one to two," Oslo quickly explained.
Meng Shenji looked at Oslo with a smile: "Alright, I'll bet one Gold Soul Coin on Li Xun. You can calculate how much I win later and send it to the dean's office."
"Dean? Chief Meng..."
Oslo turned around and was startled to see the person behind him: "Chief... I was just joking, hehe."
"It's fine, I took it seriously."
Ignoring Oslo's look of despair, Meng Shenji frowned as he looked at Li Xun and Yu Tianheng.
He was against this match.
Both were geniuses from their respective sects, each carrying their own pride. No matter who lost, they wouldn't be able to stay peacefully at the academy.
For the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, this would be a huge loss.
Yu Tianheng slowly walked to within ten meters of Li Xun: "I heard you were waiting for me?"
"I've been waiting for you for days," Li Xun nodded.
"Hehe, what gives you such confidence? Your Thousand-Year Spirit Ring? Let me tell you a little secret—the reason I came back late is because I went to obtain my third Spirit Ring," Yu Tianheng sneered, mimicking a whisper.
He admitted that Li Xun's talent surpassed his own, and the Thousand-Year Spirit Ring even made him feel a twinge of jealousy.
But even the most gifted individ
uals need time to grow.
Today, he intended to shatter Li Xun's confidence, thereby slowing down his rival's progress.
"Oh, that's great. You've reached level 30, so you won't cry when you get beaten, right?"
