Chapter 815: Chapter 816: My Name is Zhang Kuang, the Arrogant Zhang
The next morning.
Atop the Second Peak.
Not far from the latrine, there appeared a bizarre, massive building. The small building had two levels—on the upper level, a plaque read “Tangneng First-class,” while the lower level bore a sign that said “Quality Shop.”
After arranging the merchandise, the disciples from the day before came uninvited, rubbing their hands together, ready to scoop manure.
Seeing the rows of Huazi on the shelves, their eyes widened uncontrollably, shining with a green glow. Goodness, just one Huazi had benefited them immensely yesterday. Now, there were so many Huazis displayed here—were these miraculous items free of charge?
“From now on, those who clean the latrines most diligently can enjoy Tangneng First-class and Quality Shop for free. Others may purchase them with Immortal Stones,” Li Xiaobai said, pointing to the price list on the shop wall.
A packet of Huazi cost one hundred medium-grade Immortal Stones, a price insignificant for these Sect Disciples whose worth easily ran into the hundreds of thousands.
As for the bathhouse, soaking for half an hour also required one hundred medium-grade Immortal Stones.
With Huazi for contrast, although people still didn’t quite understand what treasure the bathhouse was, they were convinced the effects were definitely not poor. The demon head might not act kindly, but his strength was astonishingly high; the treasures he offered were sure to be of good quality.
Without further ado, a group of people headed straight for the latrine, very conscientiously picking up their own tools to begin another round of hard labor.
They wanted to be today’s kings of manure scooping and enjoy the Huazi for free!
“All of them are hardworking folks,” Li Xiaobai remarked.
“Indeed, they are the future pillars of the Sword Sect,” the Old Beggar nodded in agreement.
“Damn, it smells so good,” Ergouzi lingered outside the latrine, a look of enjoyment on his face. Ultimately, he couldn’t resist; he threw his scriptures aside and scampered into the latrine.
“Let’s make a surge in the rankings. If we make it into the top fifty of the Human Immortal Ranking List, the sects won’t trouble us anymore,” Li Xiaobai said, arriving at an open space. He spoke loudly, “I challenge the number one on the Human Immortal Ranking List. Please, Heavenly Dao, open the Starry Sky Battlefield!”
…
At the same time.
A few beams of light descended upon the Second Peak. Several young men and women walked leisurely forward, oblivious to worldly matters, each with an Identity Token hanging on their waists displaying the words “Inner Sect,” drawing eyes filled with awe from numerous cultivators passing by.
Their aura was merely at the Human Immortal Realm, yet they had earned the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect—certainly geniuses of their sect, backed by powers and resources beyond ordinary comparison.
“It’s been a while since I came down. Seems the Outer Sect hasn’t changed much, still as noisy as ever,” said a young girl in white, bouncing cheerfully.
“True. There’s hardly any cultivation atmosphere here. After all, it’s just the Outer Sect. The competitive pressure is too light compared to the cultivators in the Inner Sect,” the leading young man said with a light smile.
“Speaking of which, is that newcomer really so exceptionally talented? To have caught the attention of those true disciples and make us personally come to check, he really has some status!”
“Hehe, indeed. But I heard he easily defeated Xiong Ba, who was ranked ninety-seventh on the Human Immortal Ranking List a couple of days ago. He’s quite the hot topic now, managing quite well in the Outer Sect.”
“The Outer Sect has such small views and ambitions. Just defeating a rank ninety-seven could cause such a sensation. If they knew about our rankings, they might drop their jaws.” he added.
“The Human Immortal Ranking List is frequently updated, reaching it isn’t something to boast about, and soon we’ll be progressing to the Earth Immortal Realm. We needn’t be fixated on a mere ranking list.”
“Let’s go and meet this newcomer; let’s get a sense of what he’s about,” the group said, laughing and talking as they headed toward the direction of the latrine on the Second Peak.
But as they walked, their expressions grew increasingly perplexed—they noticed an abruptly erected building on the plain. Why had a huge building suddenly appeared on the Second Peak?
Tangneng First-class?
A shop of fine quality?
What is this?
I remember there was nothing here before, and who the hell would build a shop near a toilet, how bizarre is that?
“Eh, I feel the presence of the Human Immortal Ranking List!”
“Look over there, someone has opened the Starry Sky Battlefield.”
“It’s that guy, that arrogant newcomer is challenging cultivators again, he wouldn’t be using the Starry Sky Arena to bully the weak again, would he?”
The group looked up ahead, their brows furrowing.
At this moment, a huge starry galaxy sphere floated in the void, within which two people stood facing each other from a distance, one in gray and one in white, their aura ethereal.
The young man in white had a line of blood-red Sin Value above his head, 160,000!
The young man in gray had a line of golden Merit Value above his head, 10,000!
Although the numbers were vastly different, cultivating Merit Value was much more difficult than amassing Sin Value, reaching 10,000 Merit in the Human Immortal Realm was absolutely sensational!
Even a Sect Leader might not be able to accumulate so much Sin Value, right?
“This Li Xiaobai really is as the rumors say, walking the world with a head topped with 160,000 Sin Value, but who is that young man in black opposite him, managing to possess 10,000 points of Merit Value? There shouldn’t be such a formidable young master in the Eastern Continent, should there?”
“That person is definitely a master on the Human Immortal Ranking List, a genius disciple from one of the Super Sects!”
“Hurry, let’s go take a look. Didn’t expect to encounter such a spectacular scene right upon arrival, it’s a good opportunity to see the strength of this arrogant newcomer!”
Watching the scene in the Starry Sky Battlefield, the group was very excited, hurriedly stepping forward to seriously observe the confrontation above. Never mind Li Xiaobai’s strength, that young man in black was unlike any they had seen in their lives. Normally, they only heard rumors about the disciples from the great Super Sects being all astonishing talents, and they never expected to see one with their own eyes today. They came at the right time.
In the void.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Above the Starry Sky Arena.
The young man in black was the first to speak, “I didn’t expect someone would challenge me, it’s been a long time since that last happened. You look unfamiliar, who are you?”
“My name is Li Xiaobai. Today I just want to simply climb the rankings, and you will be defeated by my hands.”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.
“What bold words, have you eaten your courage?
“But you indeed surprised me. In the past when I challenged others, I always won without fighting. It’s been a long time since I’ve entered the Starry Sky Battlefield. I should thank you for letting me relive this long-lost feeling.”
“Remember my name, my name is Zhang Kuang, the boastful Zhang!”
Zhang Kuang looked around, speaking indifferently, his eyes showing a hint of nostalgia, as if admiring the starry sky like seeing an old friend after a long time.
“I’m not interested in your name, just remember mine, my name is Li Xiaobai!”
“I have a hundred ways to defeat you instantly, and you, helpless, make your move.”
Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, speaking faintly.
“Haha, what courage, a fledgling calf not afraid of tigers, I admire that. However, mere spirit isn’t enough for a contest or battle. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a bloodthirsty youth. Fight!”
Zhang Kuang burst into laughter, suddenly a Double Sided Halberd appeared in his hand, swirling in the void like a fierce beast of a flood attacking the head of the person before him.
[Attribute Points +300,000…]
Li Xiaobai touched his head, unmoved.
Zhang Kuang: “???”
