"Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade, so powerful!"
"Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu is too amazing!"
"This time, the first place in the Foundation Establishment group is definitely Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu's!"
"That's a given! I reckon Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu will use the might of the Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade to charge all the way into the Golden Core group, and perhaps even take first place there!"
...
The young "Foundation Establishment cultivators" became more and more excited as they spoke!
They were all young disciples of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" who were about to compete.
Having witnessed the power of the "Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade," they had already automatically lowered their own standings!
Fighting against Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu was impossible!
They would surrender upon sight!
With the "Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade," Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu wouldn't bother with them, these "Foundation Establishment trash." Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu was destined to "challenge across realms" and fight a grand battle in the "Golden Core group."
Because "a certain senior" couldn't stand to see things not getting exciting enough!
He specifically instructed Yun Zhenting to set the rule for "challenging across realms"!
As long as you felt powerful enough, even a "Qi Refining realm cultivator" could challenge a "Golden Core cultivator."
Of course, if you lost, you'd be the one shamed.
Heh heh...
"A certain senior" expressed great anticipation!
Challenging across realms and such were standard equipment for "protagonist characters." Let the passion ignite, let it go wild!
...
Listening to the fervent discussions of the young "Foundation Establishment disciples," a young cultivator who was unbelievably handsome could no longer contain himself. He sneered.
"Heh heh heh... Wang Xiaohu is indeed strong, but if you say he's number one in Foundation Establishment, I don't think so!"
Damn!
Who is this arrogant?
The group of "Foundation Establishment disciples" were both annoyed and amused.
Wang Xiaohu possessed the "Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade," and just moments ago, he had repelled a "Nascent Soul Ancestor" with a single strike!
What kind of heaven-defying combat power was this?
If Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu wasn't number one in Foundation Establishment, who else could be?
When the crowd saw the speaker's appearance, they suddenly understood.
Oh, it's this guy Ye Qiye!
No wonder!
This "poser," this "person who'd die if they didn't act pretentious for a day"!
Ye Qiye had joined the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" about three months ago.
Although he hadn't been there long, he was already famous among the young disciples of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion"...
Of course, it wasn't a "good reputation," but a "pretentious reputation."
His cultivation was mediocre, but when it came to "acting pretentious," he was masterful and divine.
He usually wore a cold expression, acting pretentious, acting aloof!
Everyone was busy with their cultivation, especially the disciples of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion." Their lives were very fulfilling every day, and no one had the time to pay attention to Ye Qiye's "aloofness."
Ye Qiye became displeased. I'm already this "aloof," and you still ignore me? Don't you respect me at all?
You should at least give me a title like "Young Master Number One of the Immortal Mansion"!
Thus, Ye Qiye began his classic "art of pretentiousness."
Whenever he had nothing else to do, he would maintain a frigid expression and spout "pretentious quotes" in front of the young disciples.
Including, but not limited to:
If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, Ye Qiye, the immortal path would be eternal night!
How lonely it is to be invincible, life is as lonely as snow!
I am invincible in the mortal world, who else should I contend with if not Heaven!
...
Hah!
This was the "Foundation Establishment disciples'" attitude towards Ye Qiye's "pretentious quotes"!
Scorn, utter scorn!
You, a "Foundation Establishment cultivator," talk about being invincible all the time. Don't you feel shameless!
Ye Qiye didn't think so. Instead, he disdained the "Foundation Establishment disciples," thinking, how could you common folk understand my genius!
Fine, we don't understand, and we don't want to. Please stay away from us and don't "mentally pollute" our ears.
The "Foundation Establishment disciples" all voiced their desire for Ye Qiye to scram!
But Ye Qiye had no self-awareness in this regard. He still loitered in front of everyone, "acting pretentious."
Now, he was at it again!
The "Foundation Establishment disciples" couldn't stand it anymore. Someone stepped forward and retorted angrily at Ye Qiye.
"If Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu isn't the number one in Foundation Establishment, then who is? Is it you?"
Full of mockery!
The "Foundation Establishment disciple" meant for Ye Qiye to look in a puddle of urine and see himself, asking if he was worthy of being compared to Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu?
However, Ye Qiye couldn't detect any mockery in his words at all. Instead, he nodded with immense arrogance, looking approvingly at the "Foundation Establishment disciple."
"Well said, absolutely correct! I, Ye Qiye, am that man, more outstanding than Wang Xiaohu!"
Full of confidence!
The "Foundation Establishment disciples" beside him couldn't help but want to spit!
Have some shame!
If Ye Qiye had any merit, it was only one thing: confidence!
Excessive confidence!
Unbelievably confident!
On what grounds do you think you can defeat Senior Brother Wang Xiaohu? Defeat the "Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade"?
Because you're handsome?
Hah...
Uh, alright, to be fair, Ye Qiye was indeed... charmingly handsome to the point of being demonic!
But being good-looking doesn't give you the right to be shameless!
The "Foundation Establishment disciples" all dispersed.
Let's go, let's go! Don't listen to this "poser" spouting nonsense here!
Ye Qiye's handsome face wore an evil smile as he stared intently at the unconscious Wang Xiaohu.
He said in a demonic and unrestrained tone.
"Wang Xiaohu, you have successfully caught my attention!"
Hah...
The "Foundation Establishment disciples" who were halfway out the door heard this and each spat!
Shameless!
...
After the "Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade" incident with Wang Xiaohu, the subsequent matches in the "Foundation Establishment group" became dull.
It wasn't that the "Foundation Establishment disciples" weren't strong enough.
On the contrary, the "Foundation Establishment disciples" of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" all had superior talent and were powerful. Even in the former "Five Great Holy Lands," they would have been outstanding!
But, it's all about comparison.
With Wang Xiaohu's monstrous performance overshadowing them, no matter how excellent the performances of the disciples behind him, they all seemed dim in comparison.
The "Foundation Establishment disciples" also came to accept this reality.
They consciously regarded Wang Xiaohu as the first place in the "Foundation Establishment group."
Now, the only goal for all "Foundation Establishment disciples" was to compete for second place.
The competition continued for half a day, and by noon, the somewhat dull and ordinary "competition stage" finally welcomed another "mini-climax."
Yun Tianping made his appearance!
Who is Yun Tianping?
A direct descendant of the Yun family.
The biological nephew of the "Yun Family Patriarch," Yun Zhenting.
A cousin to Yun Tianzhong and Yun Tiankong.
This person not only had extremely high cultivation talent and had personally received guidance from a "senior," but he also possessed strong management skills.
For a long time, Yun Tianping had assisted Yun Zhenting in handling the affairs of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion."
He was capable, fair in his dealings, and highly respected!
Especially among the younger generation of disciples, everyone called him "Senior Disciple Brother."
The "Black-faced, Cold-hearted Senior Disciple Brother," Yun Tianping!
