On the seventy-first level, Tang Ximen made up his mind. He was going to prove himself this time!
He was no longer the same person as last year.
Seven Return to Void Stage Celestial Immortals materialized from their divine intents began to appear in the air.
An Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. His opponents this time were clearly more powerful than last time.
The aura fluctuations of the previous level belonged to new Return to Void Stage cultivators, but this time, they belonged to Return to Void Stage cultivators whose cultivation bases had stabilized.
A Return to Void Stage Celestial Immortal pounced toward An Lin with two golden shuttles materialized in his hands. These shuttles were so sharp that they looked as if they could easily tear through space with a single slash.
An Lin used his agile movement techniques to evade the celestial immortal's attacks. He glanced at Tang Ximen out of the corner of his eye, and he heaved a sigh of relief upon discovering that he had already distanced himself from him.
If he were to accidentally kill his opponent again, then he really wouldn't be able to explain himself.
An Lin didn't think too much about this. He continued to use gentle techniques to battle his opponent before slowly increasing the power of his attacks.
Tang Ximen didn't have the time to do that. He was fighting a celestial immortal in front of him with great difficulty.
The celestial immortal's sword techniques were extremely powerful, and the true intent of the sword imbued within his attacks made Tang Ximen's heart palpitate with excitement.
Whoosh! The celestial immortal's longsword began to ring, and it was about to unleash a sword technique.
Tang Ximen's body trembled as he prepared to charge forward.
All of a sudden, a white flaming sword projection flashed through the air with the terrifying power of holy flames.
The celestial immortal's eyes widened, and his body was slowly sliced in half before falling to the ground and dissipating.
Tang Ximen's eyes also widened as he stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before him.
He raised his head in confusion and turned toward a certain direction.
There was a woman in a jade dress holding a longsword materialized from the Holy Vermilion Flame, and she was looking toward him with an awkward expression.
"Um … I'm sorry, I thought it wouldn't be so powerful after suppressing my power by a hundred times …" Xu Xiaolan spoke with an apologetic expression.
Tang Ximen's body swayed slightly, and he felt like throwing up a mouthful of blood.
Why … Why did my monster get stolen again?
At this moment, he only felt that the world was a vast expanse, and in his mind, a plum blossom song reverberated endlessly.
An Lin was also dumbstruck. He was just about to carefully kill his opponent when he saw Tang Ximen's opponent being killed by Xu Xiaolan …
What kind of experience was that?
An Lin felt like he was too embarrassed to look Tang Ximen in the eye. After all, his Dao partner-to-be was the one who had done this. For some reason, he was also struck by a sense of guilt.
Outside the Immortal Spirit Tower, thousands of students also fell silent as they stared at Tang Ximen with complex expressions.
"Junior Tang won without doing anything again …"
"That's right. Congratulations. The students of our Celestial Court are really getting better and better."
"Congratulations? Why don't I see any happy expression on your face? "
"I think this is cheating. This is f * cking hiring a substitute. I want to report this!"
"In any case, I've got to hand it to her. As long as she has the right posture, she'll be able to pass regardless of whether she's powerful or not."
"This is actually the fault of Junior Student Xu Xiaolan. I have to say, she's simply too powerful. That flaming sword strike was simply too terrifying, and that's why she accidentally killed an ally."
"Did An Lin and Xu Xiaolan plan this from the very beginning …"
"It should be said that people who aren't the same type of people don't belong in the same family."
Just as all of the students were discussing spiritedly among themselves, Bai Zhong appeared within the Immortal Spirit Tower again.
He looked at Tang Ximen and Xu Xiaolan with a sense of weariness in his heart.
When had something like this ever happened to any of the students in the past? It was understandable if they were injured by accident, but to be reduced to ashes by a single f * cking attack? That was way too ridiculous!
"Both of you, tell me about this matter! I told you not to do it again. "Bai Zhong harrumphed coldly.
Tang Ximen felt extremely wronged. He didn't want to do it again, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was also in despair!
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't use too much force in the future." Xu Xiaolan lowered her head in apology.
She had only wanted to test out her Vermilion Bird Flaming Sword Strike, but she didn't think that it would be this powerful.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll … I'll …"
Tang Ximen suddenly didn't know what to say, and he stammered as he tried to speak.
What was he supposed to do in the future?
What had he done wrong? He didn't know!
Bai Zhong also felt like his chest was constricting, and his head was throbbing with pain.
There had never been such a powerful Soul Formation Stage student who was able to kill two divine-intent enemies with a single strike. Even if there were extremely powerful students, they would usually be able to control their own power very well.
In any case, there had never been a student as lucky as Tang Ximen! This was a battlefield with a radius of over a kilometer. Who would have thought that his divine-intent enemies would just so happen to be within the range of their attacks, and they would be struck right in the bullseye?
Xu Xiaolan and An Lin had clearly been killed by mistake, so it was very difficult for Bai Zhong to expel them.
"You two, don't ever do it again! If something like this happens again, you'll have to bear the consequences! " Bai Zhong really didn't know what to say, so he could only point at Xu Xiaolan and Tang Ximen as he spoke.
Hmm, why did this sound so familiar …
Xu Xiaolan nodded and promised that she wouldn't do it again, while Tang Ximen nodded with an aggrieved expression.
Bai Zhong left, and the battle in the tower also drew to a close.
Zuo Qiubing panted heavily as he killed his opponent, and he turned to look at the calm and collected Tang Ximen with an envious expression on his face.
He had fought for his life and finally defeated his opponent.
As for Tang Ximen, who was in the same batch as him? He didn't even have to fight!
He had been beaten by Tang Ximen last year. Could it be that even after progressing to the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage, he still wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being dominated by Tang Ximen …
Terrifying, terrifying, he couldn't afford to mess with him …
Not long after that, everyone passed through this level and began to proceed to the seventy-second level.
Tang Ximen gritted his teeth and swore to himself that he was going to prove himself this time! He was going to defeat his opponent with his own power and not be disturbed by anyone again.
He made his way to a corner, and all of the other students seemed to be able to sense his emotions, so they all chose to distance themselves from him and maintain a safe distance from him.
The seven divine-intent enemies began to revert back to their original appearances before charging toward everyone with powerful auras.
An intense battle instantly erupted!
And then, Tang Ximen was defeated …
His chest was punctured by his opponent's lightning, and his entire body was numb as he lay on the ground, hovering between dizziness and clarity.
An Lin and the others had actually concluded their battle much faster than Tang Ximen's. They had been spectating from the sidelines this entire time, and they had witnessed Tang Ximen's defeat.
Tang Ximen turned to An Lin and the others. "Am I more powerful than I was last year? I'm definitely more powerful than I was last year, am I right?
"If I had fought on the seventieth or seventy-first level, I would definitely have won, am I right?
"I'm no longer the same person as I was last year, am I right …"
His words were laced with blood and tears, and the scene was extraordinarily touching.
"Senior Student Tang, you're one of the most powerful cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage!" Xu Xiaolan offered words of consolation.
"Senior Student Tang, you're actually powerful enough to pass even the seventy-second level. It's just that your mental state was affected by us, which resulted in your defeat." An Lin also found an excuse to console Tang Ximen.
Tears welled up in Tang Ximen's eyes. "Next year, I'll definitely …"
Right at this moment, another bolt of lightning fell from the divine-intent battle, and Tang Ximen was knocked unconscious.
Tang Ximen was teleported out of the tower just like that, and he didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence.
Everyone fell silent. No, it should be called a moment of silence.
After a minute of silence, An Lin and the others continued onward to the next level.
