Chapter 2231: Chapter 2228: Storms and Upheaval

Although Miss was expelled from the sect, Tang Ziqing did not abolish her martial arts. Instead, she continued to help her; Miss is someone who knows how to be grateful.

Tang Ziqing nodded slightly, with a comforting look in her eyes. Now, her disciple had finally become like herself, achieving the Innate Realm.

The age difference between the master and disciple is not significant, their relationship is both teacher-student and friends, richer in emotion than that of other master-disciple pairs.

"Ever since meeting Lin Tian, Manxue repeatedly broke through her realm, and the time span was less than a year; who exactly is this Lin Tian?" Tang Muling murmured.

Tang Xuan Su’s eyes flickered, and he said faintly: "Still brooding over the last loss to him? Even you and Ziqing combined are no match for him; don’t think of challenging him, at least not now."

Tang Muling fell silent, not sure what she was thinking.

Xiao Manxue also left the arena and returned to Lin Tian’s side, exchanging smiles with him.

"You did it," Lin Tian said solemnly.

"Thank you, without you, I wouldn’t have achieved today’s success," Miss said seriously, with a joyful smile on her face.

After advancing to the Innate Realm, Miss’s complexion improved significantly, her skin became whiter and smoother, rosy, and when she smiled, it carried an enticing glow.

"Sister, you’re amazing," Xiao Manxuan couldn’t hold back long ago and rushed forward to embrace Miss.

The two beautiful sisters embracing each other was also pleasing to the eye, Miss stroked her sister’s silky hair, showing a face of doting.

"Sister Manxue, congratulations on successfully entering the hall and achieving the Innate Realm," Ling Shuiyao also stepped up to congratulate in the manner of an Ancient Martial Artist; as fellow Female Ancient Martial Artists, they mutually appreciated each other.

Next was Yun Xiaotian, although she didn’t understand Ancient Martial Arts, she knew the importance of the Innate Realm; in comparison, whether she could get first place seemed secondary.

Then came Huang Xiaopang, Liu Xiaoxiao, some acquaintances, and strangers, all came to congratulate; congratulating the first place, congratulating the birth of an Innate.

Around Lin Tian, it became a sea of celebration; in stark contrast were the Situ family and Ji Family, the Situ family felt envy and jealousy, while the Ji Family was unwilling to accept.

This celebration took more than ten minutes; the old man was rarely understanding and did not interrupt, only taking the stage again once everyone’s emotions had calmed down somewhat.

"Today’s martial arts competition is all over, everyone is already aware of the top ten, but according to the procedure, I still need to announce it once more, starting from the first place."

"Additionally, let me say this, for the competitors whose names I call next, please gather here tonight at eight o’clock, don’t ask me what for, it will be revealed tonight," the old man said another thing before announcing the top ten list.

Several big figures remained unchanged in expression, seemingly already aware, however, his words did spark the interest of the crowd, they simultaneously had the thought, is the competition not the end but the beginning?

"First place, Xiao Manxue..." the old man announced solemnly, though the result was already known, everyone was nonetheless excited, this title represents extremely high honor.

"Second place, Ji Zimo..." the second place was also a good rank, for most young Ancient Martial Artists, it was equally an existence to look up to.

However, as soon as the second place was announced, the scene quieted somewhat, originally, the much-anticipated first place Ji Zimo became second, who would dare to make a sound and offend the Ji family at this moment? They had just witnessed the formidable Ji Family martial arts.

"Third place, Ling Shuiyao!" The old man furrowed his brow slightly upon reading this name, his eyes seemed peculiar, the old man seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Rightly so, a direct disciple of Langya Pavilion, and the host, simply did not take first place, the old man’s face was somewhat hard to maintain.

The old man glared at Ling Shuiyao, somewhat accusatory, Ling Shuiyao was thick-skinned, not afraid, still staring back at the old man in defiance.

Eventually, the old man conceded, a serious face showing a helpless smile, regretting pampering this young girl too much in usual times.

"Fourth place, Yuwen Xingjian."

"Fifth place Situ Yufeng, sixth place Wang Lin, seventh place Huang Xiaopang, eighth place, Liu Xiaoxiao, ninth place Yun Tian..."

The old man announced in one go, among the top ten appeared three Independent Ancient Martial Practitioners, also gaining face, the loose cultivators were equally excited and exhilarated.

"Tenth place..."

The old man glanced around, signaling everyone to quiet down, preparing to announce the tenth place.

"Hold on!" A loud voice suddenly burst forth, rolling in from all directions.

The sound echoed across the mountaintop, even reverberating among the surrounding mountains, like Nine Heavens thunder, enduringly.

Such an imposing voice seemed to envelop the entire Langya Pavilion, everyone was shocked, looking around but could only hear the sound without seeing anyone.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, looking at the few big figures seated above, only to see their eyes trembling, faces showing great surprise.

"Impossible, they are Mid Innate Realm experts, akin to pillar-like existences in the Ancient Martial World, who could make them react so fervently?" Lin Tian was curious, couldn’t help but say.

He also discerned the owner of this voice was formidable, yet, was there anyone more formidable than Ling Xuesong among Ancient Martial Artists?

"I don’t know either, such profound power, never before seen," Miss was equally shocked, lightly replied.

"Could it be...?" Lin Tian’s mind lit up, thought of something, but before he could speak, the big figures reacted again, simultaneously looking towards the staircase down the mountain.

A voice suddenly came from below the mountain: "Who are you, unauthorized entry prohibited in the martial arts competition area."

It was a woman’s voice, Lin Tian found it somewhat familiar, soon realizing it was Senior Sister Ling Xiao. She had been on the back mountain earlier, today it seemed her turn to guard the competition area.

Relatively speaking, Langya Pavilion is quite fair, the guarding disciples are on rotation, without fixed positions.

"Humph!" A response to Ling Xiao was a cold snort, followed by a "bang" sound, a shadow soaring high, flying from below the stone steps, landing on the mountain, rolling onto the arena, to Lin Tian’s feet.

Lin Tian looked, the falling person turned out to be Ling Xiao, but her condition made Lin Tian and several others greatly alarmed, Ling Xiao’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were bleeding, the sight was astonishing, her lips lacked any blood color.

She forced a glance at Lin Tian, wanting to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, the scarlet blood staining Lin Tian’s trousers.

Lin Tian did not avoid, Miss and Ling Shuiyao quickly stepped forward, wanting to lift Ling Xiao up, discovering Ling Xiao already lost consciousness, fainted, her breath extremely weak.

"Senior Sister Ling Xiao..." Ling Shuiyao cried out in shock, calling out, faintly carrying a sob.

Lin Tian disregarded everything else, immediately activated super vision, scanning Ling Xiao’s body, seeing the Dantian in her abdomen, his face instantly turned cold, seemingly able to freeze the air.

"Senior Sister Ling Xiao she... her martial arts were abolished!" Lin Tian said through gritted teeth, almost squeezing out the words.
