Fuzhou Island.

In a wooden building on the west side of the island.

Han Liang opened his eyes from his cultivation and took a deep breath. The refreshing fragrance in his nose still lingered.

“The effect of the Vermillion Dispersion Power of the Wood Ancestral City is indeed amazing. With its help, it won’t be long before I can break through to the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage!”

Thinking of this, Han Liang couldn’t help but smile.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person rushed into the room without knocking.

“Pm so angry!”

Kuang Hai strode to the table in the middle of the room and sat down. He slammed the table heavily, his face full of anger.

Han Liang frowned slightly, and a look of resignation flashed in his eyes. He stood up and walked to the table, sitting down as well.

“What happened? Why are you so angry?”

“What else could it be?” Kuang Hai gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all because of that Lin Shen from rhe Nine Yang Academy. He intercepted the Mystic Essence Liquid from Elder Ji first. Now, he’s trying to snatch my Xuandu Token!”

“The Xuandu Token was taken away?” Han Liang looked surprised.

The corners of Kuang Hal’s eyes twitched as he said angrily, “Elder Ji personally asked for the Xuandu Token that was originally reserved for me and gave it to that Lin Shen from the Nine Yang Academy!”

Han Liang pondered for a moment, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

“I heard that Lin Shen has already begun to condense a spirit meridian and needs the Mystic Essence Liquid. I think he found out about the Xuandu Meeting from somewhere and asked Elder Ji for the Xuandu Token, He has made a lot of contributions to the spirit cave. Elder Ji will definitely not reject his request! “u

As soon as he said this, Kuang Hai became even angrier.

“That Lin Shen has already obtained eight drops of Mystic Essence Liquid from Elder Ji. It’s more than enough to condense a second-grade spirit meridian. He still wants to snatch the Xuandu Token from me. Does he want to condense a first-grade spirit meridian? I think he s clearly targeting me!”

Han Liang was instantly speechless. He thought, “Lin Shen is a disciple of the Nine Yang Academy and has never been to the sect. He probably hasn’t even seen what you look like. Why is he targeting you?”

Kuang Hai glanced at Han Liang from rhe corner of his eyes. He seemed to have guessed Han Liang’s thoughts and snorted coldly.

“Don’t think that I’m spouting nonsense. You know the Mystic Light Stage Elders in the master-disciple lineage have recently expressed their intention to take Lin Shen in as their disciple. I think they plan to nurture Lin Shen as the backbone of the master-disciple lineage so that he can resist our influential families!

“And Elder Ji is also of that lineage. He probably received a hint, which is why he’s biased toward Lin Shen. Otherwise, why would he give Lin Shen eight drops of Mystic Essence Liquid?”

“But why did I hear that Lin Shen severely injured a Blood Sea Sect cultivator master, which allowed Elder Ji to kill that cultivator master? Those eight drops of Mystic Essence Liquid were Elder Ji’s reward for Lin Shen.” Han Liang said hesitantly.

“Bullshit!”

Kuang Hais tone was full of disdain.

“You believe that? How can a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator severely injure a dignified cultivator? It’s already impressive that he can survive a cultivator master’s attack!

“In my opinion, Elder Ji is clearly hyping up Lin Shen so that the Mystic Light Stage elders have a reason to take him in as a disciple!”

Hearing Kuang Hai s words, Han Liang started to waver.

In fact, when he first heard about this, he didn’t believe it either.

After all, this kind of thing sounded too good to be true.

Compared to such a ridiculous thing, although Kuang Hai’s guess was a little far-fetched, it was still more convincing.

“In that case, is it true that those elders want to take Lin Shen as their disciple?” Han Liang frowned.

Kuang Hai snorted coldly. “1 don’t care if they want to take Lin Shen as their disciple, but Lin Shen shouldn’t have coveted my Xuandu Token. I won’t let this matter rest!”

Han Liang glanced at him and knew why he was so angry.

Kuang Hai had been stuck at the current stage for nearly a year. He had spent a lot of effort to form 26 spirit meridians and was only a step away from forging a third-grade spirit meridian.

However, he hit a bottleneck after that.

After consuming more than ten Cast Spirit Pills in a row, he was still unable to condense his 27th spirit meridian and take rhe most crucial step.

He was so anxious that his heart was burning with anger, and his temperament had become much more irritable.

Recently, he had heard from somewhere that if he used the Mystic Essence Liquid to condense a spirit meridian, he would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck.

Therefore, he paid a huge price to get a Xuandu Token.

Who would have thought that Lin Shen would have taken that opportunity away?

Anyone else who encountered such a situation would be fuming with anger, let alone Kuang Hai, who had become more and more irritable recently.

It was already impressive that he didn’t go after Lin Shen right away.

Han Liang was thinking about that when he heard Kuang Hal’s voice.

“No, I can’t take this lying down. I’ll go to Lin Shen now and have a bet with him!”

The Nine Suns Sect encouraged disciples to spar with each other and set their own bets. It was called a gambling battle.

Not only could the winner obtain pills and enchanted armaments, but they could also make a name for themselves in the sect.

Therefore, this kind of sparring method was quite popular among the disciples.

However, gambling competitions had always occurred between official disciples. There had never been a precedent of an official disciple going after an academy disciple.

If word got out, the former’s reputation would be tarnished no matter what the outcome of the battle was.

However, Kuang Hai, who had been blinded by anger, could no longer care about this. He made up his mind and was about to set out.

Upon seeing this, Han Liang tried to stop him and said anxiously, “Lin Shen is currently in the Nine Yang Academy.. You don’t have the academy’s token, so how can you enter?”
