Xu Zhantang, who was hiding in the Martial Practice Hall, was struck by lightning in the end.
At that time, a bolt of lightning broke the roof of the Martial Practice Hall. Not long after, another bolt of lightning came from the arena and struck his heart.
The last bolt of lightning injured him badly. Even though he was at Inner Qi Realm Level 2, he didn't have much confidence in facing Xie Tian.
Xu Zhantang did not personally witness the fight two days ago. He had heard everything from the Clan Elder. The Clan Elder's vision was very good. His narration was impartial, fair and detailed, restoring the entire scene of the fight for Xu Zhantang.
The Battle of Nine Rains!
The most exciting battle in the Kingdom of Song in fifty years!
Xu Zhantang wanted to clap his hands and cheer!
If only the main character wasn't Xie Tian.
Before entering the Martial Practice Hall, Xu Zhantang spent four hours sitting in the empty garden in a daze. No one disturbed him, and no one dared to disturb him.
During these four hours, he seriously recalled what happened between him and Xie Tian. Suddenly, he felt like he was in that hole again, witnessing Li Yuanyang's death with his own eyes.
He felt that it was very interesting, so even though he did not know Xie Tian's name, he still spoke to the leaders of the nine strongholds of the River West Pirates and prepared a feast of death for Xie Tian, arranging a good show for himself.
The show was very good, and he found it more and more interesting. He also learned about the origin of Xie Tian's name, so he chased Xie Tian to Hexi Corridor …
Not long after the second show began, things changed.
With this change, he also put himself in the play.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhantang felt a little regretful. He didn't regret taking the initiative to interact with Xie Tian. Because Xie Tian was a genius, he was also a genius. Two geniuses walking the same path, even if he didn't take the initiative, they would still come into contact one day, or even touch.
What he regretted was that he shouldn't have come into contact with him as a spectator.
Because watching the show meant that he was a bit taller.
Therefore, this caused Xu Zhantang to look down on Xie Tian in the first encounter between the two geniuses.
As a result, Xie Tian's rapid progress forced Xu Zhantang to raise his head continuously. Defeating Zheng Chun, defeating Zhou Zhaoyang, defeating Yang Qiangwu … The trend of raising his head continued, and at the same time, the pressure in his heart increased day by day.
It could be said that if a peerless genius suddenly appeared in Bianliang City, Xu Zhantang would not feel so much pressure. But if this genius grew up step by step from an ant under his watch, then he would.
He reaped what he sowed, Xu Zhantang thought.
And the price he had to pay for it was that two days later, he received the box containing the Nine Revolutions Great Revitalizing Pill.
Not long after he received it, Xu Zhantang's face began to turn red, because he remembered something he had once said.
"Have you heard of the Nine Revolutions Great Revitalizing Pill? Hehe, if you can defeat me, I will give you this elixir that can save you. Come on, haha … "
This was the last sentence he said to Xie Tian in the inner courtyard of the casino, based on his proud heart. However, this elixir could no longer fulfill the terms of the bet, because the owner of the bet urgently needed to eat it.
Eat it!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhantang forcibly suppressed the many negative emotions in his heart, such as regret, unwillingness, bitterness, and shame. Without hesitation, he put the Nine Revolutions Great Revitalizing Pill into his mouth, and at the same time, operated his internal Qi to activate the medicinal effect.
While feeling the rapid improvement of his cultivation, a strong sense of confidence returned to him as the number one genius of Song State.
Seeing Xu Ruhai empty-handed, Xu Batian didn't say anything. He just nodded and focused on the fishing rod in his hand.
Fishing was very healthy and could make people calm down. But not long after Xu Ruhai left, the fishing rod in Xu Batian's hand was shaken into powder by the out of control internal Qi.
"Zhantang, why do you care so much about that killer cultivator …"
For the first time, Xu Batian felt pressured.
In fact, he didn't know that Zhao Ye was the same as him. They didn't believe that Xie Tian could defeat Xu Zhantang. But just as Zhao Ye said to the old eunuch, Xie Tian could force Xu Batian to compromise!
This bit of pressure was the beginning of compromise.
However, was the situation really as Zhao Ye thought it would be?
After a pause of three days, the Inner Qi Realm Martial Arts Competition finally resumed.
This time, the Inner Qi Realm Martial Arts Competition finally returned to normal. There were few spectators, listless referees, and foreign Inner Qi Realm martial artists who were entertaining themselves.
Originally, these dominating Inner Qi realm martial artists were prepared to have a good fight, but after the thunder, they no longer had such competitive thoughts. They only wanted to win back the face they had lost in front of the disciples through a friendly and amiable exchange of pointers.
Similar to Xu Zhantang, the reason why these people had lost face was because they deserved it.
Because at the beginning of the battle between Liu Yang and Xie Tian, they had been praising Liu Yang non-stop. In order to show off Liu Yang's strength, they even compared themselves to him. They admitted that if they were up against a genius disciple like Liu Yang, they could only surrender.
Then, Liu Yang was beaten to death by a country boy at Brute Force Level Nine.
Looking at the naive and confused gazes of the disciples, these domineering heroes wanted to kill themselves with a piece of tofu.
After two days of friendly and harmonious competition, the Inner Qi Realm Martial Arts Competition finally came to an end. The top ten congratulated each other as they walked onto the arena, only to find that there was no one else but themselves.
Where was the referee? Where was Senior Gong?
Just as they were feeling puzzled, a sudden roar sounded in the distance. The crowd looked over and saw a blood-red fireball blossoming in the air.
"The battle between Xie Tian and Xu Zhantang is about to begin!"
The few spectators instantly ran away without a trace.
Bianliang City, Great Song, outside the imperial palace.
Anything that had anything to do with the imperial palace was a big deal. Even the two most talented youths of the Song Kingdom were only sparring in the square outside the imperial palace.
The square was not big, only one-third the size of the arena. However, there were many spectators. The walls of the imperial palace were filled with people. These people were not the soldiers in charge of guarding the imperial palace, but the members of the imperial family.
Vermilion Bird Street opposite the imperial palace was even more crowded. All kinds of shops, restaurants, and teahouses were filled with people. In order to watch the peerless battle, some people didn't even let go of the roofs. The towering trees were also filled with spectators who were looking forward to the battle.
However, they still had to hang up. The emperor had something to say.
"Haha, you may rise." Without waiting for the two of them to kneel, Zhao Ye happily stood up from his throne and walked in front of the two of them. After sizing them up for a while, he said encouragingly, "My Great Song is fortunate to have the two of you. It's my fortune! Therefore, you must not be ruthless in this battle. If either of you is injured, I will feel sorry. Do you understand? "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Zhantang cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Xie Tian also nodded.
"Xu Zhantang, my brave general!" Zhao Ye emotionally patted Xu Zhantang's shoulder and said, "The Xu family has made countless contributions to the Song Kingdom. You, on the other hand, have the momentum to surpass your predecessors. You are only fifteen, but you have already reached the third level of Inner Qi …"
Xie Tian turned his head and looked at Xu Zhantang.
Xu Zhantang was about to frown when he looked at Xie Tian and smiled.
"Haha, you are Xie Tian. Not bad, not bad."
Zhao Ye smiled even more happily and said kindly, "Although you are only at the ninth level of Brute Force, you are still only twelve years old. Your future is limitless. However, you must remember, although I love you, you cannot be arrogant. If you let me down, I will punish you severely!"
As the Emperor spoke eloquently, the old eunuch was busy giving orders to his subordinates. Xu Batian glanced at the young eunuchs who quickly left, his face expressionless.
"Has everything been arranged?" Zhao Ye asked after returning to the throne.
The old eunuch nodded slightly and whispered, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged."
Zhao Ye's expression was a little ugly, "Xu Zhantang has broken through again after taking the Nine Reincarnation Pill. I wonder if Xie Tian can force Xu Batian to that step …"
The old eunuch could hear the tension in the Emperor's relaxed voice and comforted, "Your Majesty's plan follows the will of heaven and will definitely succeed."
Unknowingly, Xie Tian started to like looking at the sun. The hotter the sun, the more he liked it. The heat on his skin made him feel very comfortable.
Xu Zhantang looked in the direction of Xie Tian's gaze and immediately squinted. The light was too strong and would damage his vision. Curious, he asked, "Is the sun beautiful?"
Xie Tian shook his head and suddenly laughed, "It's too dazzling."
"Then why do you want to look?"
"Because it's there."
Xu Zhantang understood. In Xie Tian's heart, he was the sun. He stood in front of Xie Tian and shared the same arena with Xie Tian. Xie Tian had to look.
In other words, he had to look no matter how dazzling it was because there was nothing to be afraid of.
The extremely simple and irrelevant words made Xu Zhantang realize that Xie Tian was a very strange person. On one hand, Xie Tian did not hide his strength. On the other hand, even if he was very strong, Xie Tian would not be afraid and would face him bravely.
Xu Zhantang took a deep breath and knew that he had done one thing right.
That was to ignore the pride in his heart and take the Nine Reincarnation Pill.
The surging Inner Qi in his body was the source of his confidence. If he was still in the Inner Qi Realm, this extremely simple question and answer would have shaken his mind.
"Good! I like opponents like you! " Xu Zhantang restrained his emotions and smiled, "Although I know that you are invincible in the Brute Force Realm, I still want to try. Come?"
Xie Tian nodded, "Come."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two rushed towards each other with unstoppable courage!
Two young fists that were about to collide ignited the sparks of this great battle!
Bang!
With a loud thunder, Xu Zhantang was thrown out of the arena while Xie Tian did not move an inch!
He won just like that? Zhao Ye stood up abruptly and looked at the scene in disbelief. His eyes were filled with intense joy!
Xu Batian's old eyes flashed coldly. The sudden change made him almost unable to think!
"Ahem …" The old eunuch understood the emperor's intention. He took two steps forward and said in a shrill voice, "This competition …"
"This strength, are you sure you are in the Brute Force Realm Level Nine?" Xu Zhantang returned to the arena and asked in confusion while rubbing his aching wrist.
Xie Tian nodded, "Yes."
"I can't imagine." Xu Zhantang sighed and turned to look at the old eunuch, "Don't be in such a hurry. The fight is not over yet. What's the hurry!"
The old eunuch paused and looked at Xie Tian.
Xie Tian did not even look at the old eunuch. He took a few steps back and gestured with his hand, saying one word clearly.
"Please!"
