Bang!
After a muffled rumble, the sturdy man was flung out a few meters and fell to the ground, puking out blood.
The entire place silenced. Gazes after gazes shifted onto Ling Xian in unison. They were all filled with shock.
For one, they were shocked at his decisiveness. For two, they were shocked at his capabilities.
The moment the sturdy man made his move, everyone was able to determine his cultivation level. He was a cultivator of the ninth level. This cultivation level wasn't much. But in this area where only cultivators of the meditational level could be found, he was extraordinary.
It was probably because of this that he dared to be so arrogant and act like he was the boss of the world.
Yet before their eyes, this person was slapped away by Ling Xian. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
The most shocked person was, without a doubt, the sturdy man who was slapped away.
When he and Ling Xian clashed, he felt an irresistible force that made it impossible for him to resist. As a cultivator of the ninth layer of qi training, he was still sent flying by a single move. Therefore, the opponent's cultivation level was obvious.
"You … you are of the tenth level?"
The sturdy man's face was full of shock and his heart was full of fear.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces flashed with a trace of shock.
"So he is a Heaven's Favorite of the undefeatable realm of the meditational level. No wonder he was able to knock him out."
"Yeah, I should've thought of that. This is the exchange area for cultivators of the meditational level. Other than a cultivator of the tenth level, who else can knock out a cultivator of the ninth level? "
"Hehe, this person is doomed. He provoked a Heaven's Favorite of the tenth level. I want to see how arrogant he can be now!"
Everyone chimed in. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of respect. The way they looked at the sturdy man was full of pity.
Even though this person's capabilities were extraordinary and he could do whatever he wanted in this area, against a Heaven's Favorite of the tenth level, what was he worth?
"I told you a long time ago not to provoke me. But you didn't listen."
Ling Xian glared at him. Then, under the man's fearful gaze, he marched forward and stood before him.
Immediately, the sturdy man's eyes flashed with fear. After that attack, he had realized that he was no opponent of Ling Xian's.
He could also tell that the person in front of him was very decisive and might really kill him.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, what happened today was my fault. Can you let me live?"
"Killing trash like you would only dirty my hands."
Ling Xian spoke softly. His first statement made the man ecstatic. But his next statement filled the man with fear.
"You can escape death, but you can't escape punishment. If I don't teach you a lesson, who knows how many more people will be bullied by you. "
As soon as his voice trailed off, Ling Xian raised his right leg and stomped on the sturdy man's chest.
This kick was gentle and slow, like a spring breeze caressing one's face, without the slightest force. However, when the foot landed on the burly man's chest, his expression instantly changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pu!"
The burly man's complexion was deathly pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, as heavy as a thousand catties.
"I gave you many chances, but you didn't treasure them. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless and without a trace of pity.
First, this person cut the queue, and then threatened him. He was extremely arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all. So how could he not be furious?
Plus, this man was overbearing and unreasonable. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time he bullied others. Before Ling Xian, he must've bullied many lower leveled cultivators. Someone like this was not worthy of pity!
Therefore, Ling Xian's foot that was stepping on the man's chest slowly increased in strength. Every time he increased his strength, the man's face turned paler.
"Ehem, ehem, I was wrong. Sir, please have mercy and let me go."
The man was sweating profusely. He felt as if his foot was as heavy as a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Don't worry, I said I won't kill you. I just want you to suffer a little. Or else you won't remember today's lesson." Ling Xian's expression was calm as he increased his strength.
Instantly, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. Two of the man's ribs were broken.
However, because Ling Xian's control of his strength was just right, the bones didn't injure his organs and didn't kill him. However, the heart-wrenching pain caused his face to turn deathly pale, and he let out a shrill cry.
"AH!"
The man screamed in pain as his body shook uncontrollably. It wasn't clear if it was because of the pain or because of fear. Or maybe it was both.
"Let me go, I beg you, let me go." The man screamed as he begged Ling Xian.
At this moment, he was full of regret. But he wasn't regretting that he bullied others. He was regretting that he was blind to provoke such a capable and cruel enemy.
"Spineless."
After uttering out these three words, Ling Xian removed his foot from the man's chest, "Remember, if I ever see you bully others, then you better be careful of your head."
Then, he no longer paid attention to this person and walked towards the counter.
To kill someone like this, he felt like he was dirtying his hands.
Seeing that Ling Xian was finally letting him go, the man sighed in relief. He felt like he just took a trip to the gates of hell. His entire body was shaking from fear.
As much as he felt fear, his heart was also full of hatred. He stared deadly at Ling Xian with his eyes full of hatred.
Everyone else was also looking at Ling Xian. However, unlike the man's hatred, their gazes were full of respect and admiration.
Some of the younger cultivators who were often bullied had fallen into a fantasy. They wished that they could be like Ling Xian and have the capabilities to fight back against all those who bully them.
Feeling everyone's admiring and respectful gazes, Ling Xian's expression remained calm. This wasn't the first time he felt this way. He had learned to remain calm a long time ago.
He slowly walked to the counter and handed over his token. However, the woman behind the counter did not accept it.
Because the woman's expression was sluggish as she stared at Ling Xian. She was most likely shocked by his capabilities and cruelty.
"Please hurry up. I don't have much time." Ling Xian frowned and hurried.
"Ah, I will do it now."
The woman shrieked in shock and her cheeks flushed red. Then, she hurriedly took over the token, "What do you want to exchange for?"
"The first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique." Ling Xian uttered out.
After helping the Array of the Astonished Gods transform, he earned 100,000 contribution points. Then, he earned 2,000 from completing missions. Plus, after chatting with Dong Fang Bi these past few days, he earned around 20,000 contribution points.
In other words, he now had 120,000 contribution points. Sadly, with all these contribution points, he could only exchange for the first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique.
What could he do? The Shang Qing Sect was far too greedy. Though the first chapter only required 1,000 contribution points, the second chapter required 5,000, the third chapter required 25,000, and the fourth chapter required 125,000.
In other words, with his current amount of contribution points, he could only exchange for the first three chapters.
"What? You want to exchange for the first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique?"
Perhaps this was far too shocking, the woman forgot the rules of the Hall of Exchange and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Instantly, the entire area silenced.
After that, the entire area was in an uproar. Everyone was screaming in shock, venting the shock in their hearts.
"What the f * ck! What did he say? He wants to exchange for the first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique? "
"Oh my god, did I hear it wrong? A meditational leveled cultivator wants to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique?"
"Unbelievable. Even though it is only the first three chapters, to cultivators of our level, it is an astronomical number. How can this person be so rich?"
Everyone continued to scream in shock. Their faces were full of shock.
What was the Shang Qing Technique? Everyone knew very well. It was the Shang Qing Sect's supreme inheritance and it was ranked number one in the exchange system!
Everyone here, or rather, everyone in the Shang Qing Sect, wanted to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique and soar above the nine heavens. Of course, they were only thinking about it. The astronomical price of the Shang Qing Technique made everyone stop in their tracks.
Especially the meditational leveled cultivators. Even in their dreams, they wanted to acquire the Shang Qing Technique. But completing the first chapter, let alone completing all 12 chapters, was a very difficult task.
Yet before everyone's eyes, a meditational leveled cultivator wanted to exchange for the first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
At least in their memory, nobody has ever had the ability to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique while they were still in the meditational level!
As much as they were shocked, they were also somewhat greedy. The Shang Qing Technique required contribution points. In other words, Ling Xian was very rich. He was so rich that he was dripping with oil.
The sturdy man, in particular, had a heated gaze. He wanted nothing more than to steal Ling Xian's contribution points.
"What a commotion."
Listening to the discussions around him, Ling Xian frowned and glared at the woman.
If this woman didn't tell him that he wanted to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique, there wouldn't be such a huge commotion. But now, after he leaves the Hall of Exchange, many people will have their eyes on him.
This was something that could be easily seen. Although he had already displayed his strength, the temptation was too great. There would definitely be many people who would take the risk out of desperation.
This made Ling Xian shake his head helplessly. With his capabilities, he was not afraid of these people. But don't forget, he cannot reveal his true capabilities. Or else the Shang Qing Sect's higher ups will kill him.
"Sorry, I … I am so sorry."
The woman also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and her pretty face immediately flushed red, filled with guilt.
"Whatever. Since I've already said it, there's no point in apologizing."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "Hurry up and exchange for me."
The woman nodded and looked at Ling Xian apologetically. She then placed his token into a strange treasure. After that, the contribution points in his token decreased by 31,000 points.
Then, a golden square box appeared, emitting a dazzling golden light.
Immediately, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with heat.
Everyone's gaze was also full of passion.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with astonishment, and they harbored malicious intentions.
They were shocked that Ling Xian actually exchanged for the Shang Qing Technique. They had ill intentions and naturally planned on making a move to steal his Shang Qing Technique and his contribution points.
"Master, I am so sorry. I was too shocked and subconsciously blurted it out." The woman passed the box to Ling Xian. Her face was full of guilt and worry.
"It's okay. You didn't mean it."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and placed the golden box and the key into his storage pouch. Then, he slowly walked out of the Hall.
Other than a few people who knew their own limits, the rest of the people followed him.
Sensing everyone's ill intentions, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a cold smile.
"Come at me. I sure want to see who can steal what belongs to me."
