Luo Ningshuang looked at the incredibly familiar item in the medicine bottle and asked in disbelief, “Zhou Fan, are you not joking? Is this thing really useful for Xiao Tang?”
“Most likely useful.”
Zhou Fan didn't dare to guarantee it either; he hadn't used Great Sun Essence to treat a low-level Cultivator with such severe injuries before.
Luo Ningshuang took the medicine bottle, and just by looking at the “medicinal liquid” she had swallowed more than ten times, that unique taste seemed to spread in her mouth.
Previously, she had only focused on the taste, never truly appreciating its medicinal effects.
Seeing Yu Xiaotang's face beside her growing paler, Luo Ningshuang no longer hesitated. She decided to try anything, opened the medicine bottle, and brought it to Yu Xiaotang's mouth.
“Xiao Tang, drink this.”
Yu Xiaotang was very obedient. Although the smell of the medicinal liquid was strange, it wasn't unpleasant to drink. After she swirled it with her tongue and swallowed it, her body immediately felt warm, as if she were sunbathing.
Warm currents flowed from her abdomen, first repairing her Dantian, then moving to all her Meridians, big and small. Feeling the comfort of her body being rapidly healed, Yu Xiaotang couldn't help but let out a very satisfied hum.
After humming, Yu Xiaotang realized that besides her Master, her Master's Dao Companion was also watching her.
Her no longer pale face immediately flushed red, but Zhou Fan and Luo Ningshuang were actually not paying attention to Yu Xiaotang's voice or expression.
Their Divine Sense had been observing Yu Xiaotang's body, and they were both very shocked to see her severely damaged Meridians and almost shattered Dantian recover completely within fifteen minutes.
Zhou Fan was surprised that the efficacy of the Great Sun Essence was so powerful. It seemed that the greater the difference in Cultivation between the treated person and himself, the better the healing and Cultivation-enhancing effects of the Great Sun Essence.
Luo Ningshuang, on the other hand, was simply stunned by the Great Sun Essence's potent medicinal effects, comparable to Heaven And Earth Treasure. It turned out that Zhou Fan wasn't lying to her every time he told her this item was very precious and asked her to choose whether to eat it from the top or the bottom.
This Great Sun Essence was truly magical, and her body always felt warm after consuming it.
After thoroughly checking Yu Xiaotang's body and confirming she was completely fine, Luo Ningshuang excitedly stood up.
She threw herself into Zhou Fan's arms, continuously praising her husband as the best in the world, while also making passionate demands.
Seeing that Sword Immortal Bu Yu was in such high spirits, Zhou Fan had no choice but to accompany her and ensure enough foreplay.
Once they were ready, the two returned to the adjacent room and, ignoring Xuanyuan Qingyu lying on the side, once again engaged in happy, friendly communication.
After the two left, Yu Xiaotang sat up from the bed. She felt somewhat confused; was that passionate woman truly her Sword Immortal Master?
Normally, her Master was always cold and taciturn towards everyone, yet now she was so enthusiastic towards Zhou Fan, the Young Peak Lord of Yin Yang Peak.
Yu Xiaotang rubbed her lower abdomen, which was still radiating warmth, and Zhou Fan's skilled movements and handsome, masculine face replayed repeatedly in her mind.
She constantly reminded herself that Zhou Fan was her Master's Dao Companion, and she couldn't harbor any other thoughts about him.
But those images were like a brand in her mind, and as they replayed, the quality became clearer and clearer.
Yu Xiaotang lay back down on the bed. She closed her eyes, and the Master's position in her mind was replaced by herself.
Wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, as if enveloped by Zhou Fan's strong, powerful embrace, Yu Xiaotang didn't understand what was happening to her, why she felt like she was in heat, having only met Zhou Fan a few times, yet she couldn't stop thinking about him.
If Zhou Fan knew Yu Xiaotang's thoughts, he would surely understand the advanced use of the Extreme Overlord Body.
That is, as long as others consume his Great Sun Essence, the Extreme Overlord Body can influence them.
Yu Xiaotang's current Cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, naturally within the scope of the Elementary stage's Extreme Overlord Body influence.
Forcing herself to clear her mind, Yu Xiaotang finally managed to fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time.
Then, she had a very long and unique dream.
...
On the afternoon of March 3rd, the Trial of the Dao Heroes Assembly elimination rounds concluded.
The remaining 128 contestants had half a day to rest, and at the same time, the Great Elder of Joyous Chan Sect announced the rules for the first round of the official Trial of the Dao Heroes Assembly.
Next, the numbers 1-32 would be displayed on 128 wooden plaques. Four contestants would engage in a free-for-all on one arena.
The competition would end when only one contestant remained standing on the stage, selecting 32 contestants to enter the second round of the official competition.
On March 4th, the first round of the official competition began.
Qin Li 3, Lin Xuanye 5. The two were not grouped together and both successfully advanced.
Yu Xiaotang did not continue to compete. With her Middle Stage Qi Refinement Cultivation, making it into the top 128 was already quite good. After she woke up, she dried her bedsheets and went to the organizers to collect the rewards for places 33-128.
On March 5th, the second round of the official competition took place.
The rule was still one-on-one battles to determine the top Sixteen.
Qin Li 9, Lin Xuanye 9. The two Sons of Destiny met again on the arena after a year.
After the numbers appeared on the wooden plaques, Qin Li's figure soared, gracefully flying onto Arena No. 9.
Lin Xuanye ascended the steps unhurriedly.
Qin Li looked at his opponent, who was the Lingjian Peak Disciple who had once lost to him.
Sensing this person's Aura, which had reached the second stage, he asked in confusion, “I remember you. A year ago, your Cultivation had just reached the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanye smiled smugly and said, “Common people like you will never understand what a true Genius is.”
“Compared to Zhou Dage, I certainly can't be considered a Genius.”
Qin Li knew this person's Dao Realm was very high, but he was fearless.
“As for you, you wouldn't think that cultivating from Middle Stage Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment in just one year is a very fast Cultivation speed, would you?”
After saying this, Qin Li no longer concealed his true Cultivation.
The formidable Aura of a Middle Stage Core Formation Cultivator swept across the entire arena, shaking Lin Xuanye and almost making him fall.
“You, what are you?”
Lin Xuanye was greatly shocked and perplexed. He was clearly the one who had scattered his Cultivation and re-Cultivated, yet why did both Zhou Fan, who possessed great Luck, and this Yin Yang Peak sword-Cultivating Disciple, have Cultivation speeds far exceeding his own?
Qin Li had no intention of wasting time with Lin Xuanye. The sooner the battle ended, the sooner he could go to the Luoning Inn to eavesdrop on Zhou Dage's aggressive words while he was doing serious business.
The protective array lit up. Qin Li started with a move so fast it left afterimages, “Autumn Wind.” Hundreds of sword shadows condensed into one, carrying pure Core Formation Stage magical power, and thrust towards Lin Xuanye.
Lin Xuanye's expression was solemn. He concentrated fully on analyzing this sword strike, trying to find a flaw in “Autumn Wind.”
But it was too fast, this sword strike was too fast.
The gap between Core Formation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage was far greater than the gap between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement. A year ago, Lin Xuanye could still find the flaws in “Autumn Wind” in a short time.
But now, facing Qin Li, whose Dao Realm had advanced several levels and whose Cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Core Formation, he was no longer able to counter every move.
Lin Xuanye suddenly closed his eyes, his long sword returning to its sheath, and an invisible yet tangible Heart Sword emerged from his body.
This time, he would absolutely not lose.
