It had been half a year since Li Xiaohan made her relationship with Xing Jue public. During this time, Li Xiaohan often came to visit Xing Jue, but each time she would only stay for a short while and then leave in a hurry.
Xing Jue could understand this situation. Outsiders only saw Li Xiaohan's extraordinary talent and powerful strength. However, no one had seen how much effort she had put in to achieve her goal under her valiant strength.
Although the time they met each time was not long, after half a year, the relationship between the two was getting better and better. They even looked like a little couple.
Once, when Li Xiaohan was not paying attention, Xing Jue secretly kissed her face. However, Li Xiaohan only warned Xing Jue not to do it again. But Xing Jue knew that this was Li Xiaohan's tacit consent. Otherwise, with Li Xiaohan's strength, how could Xing Jue kiss her secretly?
In the past half a year, probably due to Li Xiaohan's deterrence, no one in the cabinet found trouble with Xing Jue. Naturally, this included the second elder of the cabinet. With his relationship with Xing Jue, no one dared to provoke Xing Jue's group of brothers. However, Xing Jue was not satisfied with such a comfortable life.
Because he knew that the current comfortable life was completely obtained under the deterrence of Li Xiaohan, which was not what Xing Jue wanted. Therefore, Xing Jue had been constantly practicing in seclusion during this time.
Xing Jue's goal was very clear, which was to rush to the level of Wu Zun as soon as possible. Because only when he reached that level, he could compete with the experts in the cabinet for the first position on the Elite List. Only when he reached that position, he would have the pass to enter the Main Pavilion.
And as long as he entered the Main Pavilion, he could completely get rid of the shadow of Li Xiaohan and become an expert that people looked up to. However, not to mention Wu Zun, even the Advanced Martial Master, Xing Jue had not been able to break through.
After a day of cultivation, Xing Jue helplessly sat at the top of a pavilion in the Xing Manor. He stared blankly at the center of the Imperial Wind Pavilion, where there was a majestic palace. That palace was where Li Xiaohan lived.
"Sigh, Xiaohan, is it so difficult to catch up to your footsteps?" Xing Jue sighed helplessly, feeling distressed about his weak strength.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Xing Jue silently. However, with Xing Jue's powerful soul power, Xing Jue still sensed the appearance of this person.
"Who are you?" Xing Jue suddenly stood up and found that at this moment, there was a young man who looked about 20 years old standing behind him. The man's golden robe surprised Xing Jue even more. This was because this person in front of him, like Li Xiaohan, was also a disciple of the Main Pavilion.
"Don't be nervous, I won't kill you." After seeing Xing Jue, the man smiled slightly.
"Oh? Then why are you looking for me? " With regards to the appearance of this middle-aged man, Xing Jue was not surprised. Because ever since Li Xiaohan publicly announced that he was her boyfriend, Xing Jue knew that sooner or later, someone from the Main Pavilion would come looking for him. It was just that he did not expect that day to come a little late. Therefore, Xing Jue said extremely calmly.
"Well, you're right. I hope that from today onwards, you can stay away from Xiaohan." After sizing up Xing Jue, the middle-aged man said with a rather complimentary tone.
"If that's the case, then don't mention it again. I will not leave Xiaohan." After giving the middle-aged man a glance, Xing Jue said coldly. Then, without caring about the expression of the middle-aged man's Main Pavilion disciple, he turned around and was about to leave.
But just as Xing Jue was about to leave, he suddenly found that his body could not move, and … he could not feel any pressure exerted by the other party. Instead, it was as if his body was firmly locked. After a moment of silence, Xing Jue suddenly realized and said, "Martial God?"
In this case, the only thing that Xing Jue could think of was that the other party's strength had reached the Martial God level. Because Xing Jue's current state was firmly locked by someone with the power of space, and the only person who could use the power of space was the Martial God level above Wu Zun. At this moment, Xing Jue finally felt a little nervous. He never thought that there would be such a strong person among the Main Pavilion disciples. The Martial God was simply a peak existence.
"Boy, you're very naughty. But this time, you can listen to me quietly, right?" Hehe … "The man smiled and walked in front of Xing Jue, saying mockingly.
Looking at the smiling man in front of him, Xing Jue suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. It was obvious that this man came for him, but Xing Jue did not feel that he was dangerous.
"If you have the guts, kill me." Xing Jue looked at the man in front of him and said stubbornly. It was not that Xing Jue was not afraid of death, but Xing Jue had a feeling that this man did not seem to be harmful to him.
"Do you think I don't dare?" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, then turned his palm, and a black elixir appeared in his hand.
"This is a poisonous elixir condensed from the poison of tens of thousands of poisonous insects. As long as a person eats it, he will suffer the pain of being bitten by tens of thousands of insects. Finally, his mind will collapse and he will die." The man smiled and explained to Xing Jue after tossing the elixir in his hand a few times.
"I'll give you one more chance. As long as you promise to leave Xiao Han, I'll let you go and give you an Earth Tier Cultivation Method. What do you think?" The man looked at Xing Jue and said in a threatening manner.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you want to kill me, then kill me." However, Xing Jue coldly snorted and said disdainfully. At the same time, his heart was beating like a drum. Is he really going to kill me?
"Alright, since you insist on dying, then I'll help you. After all, after you die, the result will be the same." Seeing that Xing Jue wasn't afraid, the man laughed and said despicably. Then, his left hand pinched open Xing Jue's mouth and his right hand directly threw the poisonous elixir into Xing Jue's mouth.
After the poisonous elixir entered his mouth, Xing Jue felt the Martial Qi in his body start to boil, as if it was about to explode. That heart-wrenching pain spread through every part of his body. Finally, Xing Jue couldn't bear the pain and shouted loudly.
"Scream, scream!" The space here has been sealed by me. No matter how loud you scream, no one will hear you. The man saw that Xing Jue was in so much pain, but he didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy. Instead, he laughed and said to Xing Jue as if he was watching a show.
After hearing his words, Xing Jue forcefully endured the extreme pain and didn't scream anymore.
However, the large amount of sweat that flowed out from his body told the middle-aged man how much pain Xing Jue was in.
Under this extreme pain, Xing Jue's consciousness started to become blurry and he felt that his vision was getting darker.
"Am I really going to die?" Feeling that his consciousness was getting blurry, Xing Jue even forgot about the pain. However, at that moment, Xing Jue faintly heard the man's voice again.
"Good lad, you really have guts. Since that's the case, I'll help you." Seeing that Xing Jue couldn't hold on any longer, the man muttered to himself. Then, he stretched out his palm and hit Xing Jue's chest. At the same time, streams of dark red gas that contained an incomparably powerful energy started to pour into Xing Jue's body.
As the powerful gas poured in, the boiling Martial Qi in Xing Jue's body actually started to calm down. Gradually, Xing Jue's consciousness also started to wake up.
However, when Xing Jue opened his eyes again, he found that the person standing in front of him was not the man from before. Instead, it was a grey-robed old man with an extraordinary bearing. At that moment, the old man was squinting his eyes and smiling at Xing Jue with satisfaction.
"May I know who you are?" Seeing the old man's kind appearance, Xing Jue knew that he must be an elder of Yufeng Pavilion. So, he quickly asked respectfully.
"Haha, lad, I am Li Xiaohan's master. Who do you think I am?" The old man stroked his beard and replied with a smile.
"Greetings, Main Pavilion Second Elder." After hearing the old man's words, Xing Jue hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully. Li Xiaohan's master, Xing Jue naturally knew. He was the Second Elder of Yufeng Pavilion's Main Pavilion.
"Alright, no need to be so polite." The old man waved his sleeve and helped Xing Jue up.
"Could it be that the person who attacked me just now was?" Feeling the old man's aura again, Xing Jue asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, I am the person who attacked you just now." The Second Elder seemed to understand what Xing Jue meant and replied with a smile.
"Lad, you are qualified to be my Xiaohan's boyfriend!" The old man smiled and sized up Xing Jue.
At this time, Xing Jue also understood that it was just a test from the Second Elder. So, he said unhappily, "Second Elder, even if you want to test your disciple, you don't have to be so ruthless. The pain brought by the poison is not a joke."
"Yo, lad, you are still unhappy. Now feel your own strength and see what level it is." The old man rolled his eyes at Xing Jue and said meaningfully.
After hearing the Second Elder's words, Xing Jue hurriedly felt the Martial Qi in his body and said excitedly, "Thank you, Second Elder."
Because at this moment, Xing Jue discovered that the Advanced Martial Master that he had been unable to break through for a long time had actually broken through. Needless to say, this must be the work of the Second Elder.
"You don't have to thank me. You have already reached the peak of the Intermediate Martial Master level. I am just helping you break through faster. However, Xing Jue, if you really want to be with Xiaohan, there is something I have to remind you." The Second Elder's smiling face suddenly disappeared and said to Xing Jue seriously.
