Although he was severely injured, Lin Zhaokai’s heart was filled with satisfaction.
He chose to accept the challenge from the Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators precisely to prove something to Wen Xiangjie.
So what if he was in the Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage?
He still had the ability to kill opponents beyond his cultivation level!
Do you see, Wen Xiangjie?
The Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators who fell on this arena today will be you tomorrow!
Having just killed an Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators beyond his level, Lin Zhaokai was in high spirits and no longer wished to conceal his hatred for Wen Xiangjie, staring directly at her.
All the Cultivators immediately gasped.
This Lin Zhaokai was truly brave enough to provoke Wen Xiangjie in such a way.
Although Wen Xiangjie was also an Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators, her identity was incomparable to that of the Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators Lin Zhaokai had killed.
Daring to provoke Wen Xiangjie only meant that Lin Zhaokai already had both feet in the gates of hell.
As soon as he left Jade Dragon Island, Lin Zhaokai would immediately disappear from the Cultivation World, the kind where not even his soul would remain.
Wen Xiangjie sipped her ice-cold little drink with interest.
Did this Lin Zhaokai really think he was playing the role of Lin Aotian?
Too bad, a beginner Lin Aotian had met a max-level villain.
However, the fight just now was indeed quite exciting, and Wen Xiangjie was certainly not one to take things for free.
She took out a spirit stone from her storage ring, flicked it with her right thumb and forefinger, and the spirit stone dropped onto the life-and-death arena.
The spirit stone rolled to Lin Zhaokai’s feet on the arena.
Lin Zhaokai glanced at the spirit stone that had rolled to his feet, then looked up at Wen Xiangjie again.
“You fought well, keep up the good work.” Wen Xiangjie lightly tossed out this sentence, then turned and left.
It was as if Lin Zhaokai, who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, was nothing more than an amusing performer in her eyes.
For Lin Zhaokai, who had extremely strong self-esteem and deeply hated Wen Xiangjie, this was undoubtedly a heavy slap.
Many of the Cultivators watching could not stand Lin Zhaokai.
So, after Wen Xiangjie took the lead in humiliating Lin Zhaokai in such a way, someone immediately burst into laughter and said, “Good, good, good, it was indeed wonderful, I can’t watch for free either, here, take it!”
He imitated Wen Xiangjie’s actions, throwing a spirit stone onto the life-and-death arena.
Looking at Lin Zhaokai’s ashen face, he let out another hearty laugh.
Other Cultivators also followed suit, throwing one spirit stone after another onto the arena.
Lin Zhaokai, who had just been praised to the heavens by the awe-filled gazes of the crowd for winning against an Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators beyond his level, was now deeply cast down to the ground because of Wen Xiangjie’s leading act of humiliation.
“Wen! Xiang! Jie!” Lin Zhaokai gritted his teeth, repeating Wen Xiangjie’s name over and over.
He struggled to stand up from the arena, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.
He did not touch any of the spirit stones on the arena; if he were to pick them up, wouldn’t that be admitting that he was just entertainment for everyone?
Not long after Wen Xiangjie returned to the resting area, Spirit Beast Peak Lord rushed over in a flurry.
“Jie’er, I heard from a sect disciple that Lin Zhaokai is very hostile towards you?” Spirit Beast Peak Lord sat down beside Wen Xiangjie and asked with concern.
“Hmm, he seems to hate me a lot, I don’t know why though.” Wen Xiangjie said lazily, not taking Lin Zhaokai to heart at all.
“Before, I only thought it was some trick stirred up by the Wu Ding Sect’s Sect Master, but I didn’t expect this Lin Zhaokai to be a troublesome character either.” Spirit Beast Peak Lord snorted, “Wu Ding Sect and this Lin Zhaokai, neither can be kept.”
Taiyi Sect had been peaceful for too long, so long that even a trash sect like Wu Ding Sect dared to provoke them.
It was time to make an example of Wu Ding Sect and Lin Zhaokai, to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
“However, that Lin Zhaokai is indeed a bit sinister.” Spirit Beast Peak Lord said to Wen Xiangjie with a slight worry, “To be able to kill a Cultivators of the Leaving Aperture Stage with the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, Lin Zhaokai must have some secret technique on him.”
“Senior Sister, don’t worry.” Wen Xiangjie said with a smile, “Have you forgotten my strength? The Cultivators of the Leaving Aperture Stage that Lin Zhaokai could barely kill while severely injured, Phoenix Feather alone could easily kill several.”
Phoenix Feather, who was currently flying, chasing, and playing with the Elf Queen in the air, heard Wen Xiangjie mention her name and immediately puffed out her chest, letting out confident chirps.
Seeing Phoenix Feather’s adorable appearance, Spirit Beast Peak Lord’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Oh my, oh my, Phoenix Feather has grown a bit again, she’s getting cuter and cuter. A while ago, I saw that Little Phoenix seemed to really like that small mountain peak on our Ling Beast Peak. I plan to make a similar, smaller mountain peak for Phoenix Feather and Lingling that you can carry with you, so they can play whenever they want…”
Spirit Beast Peak Lord chattered endlessly about what he wanted to prepare for Phoenix Feather and Lingling, having completely forgotten about Lin Zhaokai.
He had indeed been worried earlier.
The Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators that Lin Zhaokai could only barely defeat by fighting with all his might and suffering severe injuries, Little Phoenix could kill with a single breath of Phoenix Spiritual Fire. When calculated this way, Lin Zhaokai simply couldn't be Wen Xiangjie's opponent.
In her eyes, Lin Zhaokai was already a dead man.
There was no need to waste energy on a dead man.
After killing an Early stage of the Leaving Aperture Stage Cultivators beyond his cultivation level, Lin Zhaokai should have become famous.
However, because of Wen Xiangjie’s act of bestowing spirit stones that day, Lin Zhaokai indeed became famous, but this reputation was not so pleasant.
However, only a few Cultivators with sufficiently high cultivation or sufficient background dared to openly mock Lin Zhaokai; most Cultivators only dared to whisper a few words behind his back.
Because Lin Zhaokai was indeed a bit sinister.
On the second day of the life-and-death arena, the first round of matches continued.
Many Cultivators remembered Lin Zhaokai’s number and specifically went to Lin Zhaokai’s competition venue to watch, wanting to see how Lin Zhaokai would continue to participate in the Sect Grand Competition after being severely injured.
Coincidentally, Lin Zhaokai’s opponent in this round was not weak; he was a Cultivators in the Early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Cultivators watching immediately became expectant.
Everyone had seen how poor Lin Zhaokai’s condition was after he left the life-and-death arena yesterday.
Perhaps Lin Zhaokai would die at the hands of this Cultivators in the Early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm today!
“Lin Zhaokai is here!”
A figure flew onto the competition venue.
Seeing Lin Zhaokai standing on the competition venue, all the Cultivators watching were greatly astonished.
Lin Zhaokai, who had been severely and miserably injured yesterday, now had his wounds mostly healed!
If it weren't for Lin Zhaokai's slightly unstable aura, he would have looked no different from a normal person!
