The first man to appear on the stage was dressed in blue. He had a Dignified figure, a powerful aura, and a rather handsome appearance. However, like Wen Taile, he had a pair of feminine eyes that made others loathe him.
This man was Wen Taile's senior brother, He Gong's chief disciple. His name was He Jiang, an orphaned disciple that He Gong had picked up. He was given the surname He and could be considered He Gong's adopted son. He possessed the strength of a low-level God King.
As for the man that appeared behind him, he wasn't handsome, but he had an insolent expression on his face. He was the kind of person that could be seen as very flamboyant at a glance. His untidy appearance added a bit of an overbearing aura to him. His body was full of explosive muscles, as if it was filled with infinite power.
He also had a name that was similar to his appearance, Ling Ba!
He was a monster of the Dragon Gate and also the strongest existence of the new generation of Kim people. He had the strength of a mid-level God King!
He Jiang knew how powerful Ling Ba was, but he didn't expect that he would appear for Ling Xiao. He cursed inwardly, "Didn't this guy go out to train?
When did he come back? "
Although he couldn't beat Ling Ba, he wasn't afraid of him. He immediately responded, "Ling Ba, don't go too far. Didn't you see that this brat scared my junior brother so much?"
"Haha … I'm dying of laughter. You're really an idiot!" Ling Ba held his belly and laughed.
Ling Xiao laughed along with him, and the people around him were also sniggering.
This person was really shameless. His junior brother had challenged him first, and now that he had lost, he actually said such words. He was indeed worthy of the word "idiot".
He Jiang's expression alternated between green and red. He also realized that his words were inappropriate, but he had already said them, so how could he take them back?
He Jiang frowned and said, "In a spar between fellow disciples, we must not overdo it. We can't kill each other, but this brat clearly wanted to kill. If we don't teach him a lesson today, I'm afraid he won't put us senior brothers in his eyes in the future. Ling Ba, get out of the way. Although his surname is Ling, he shouldn't be related to you!"
He Jiang didn't dare to make a move in front of Ling Ba. First of all, he didn't have a chance. Moreover, if he provoked Ling Ba, he wouldn't be able to get off scot-free. That fellow was famous for being overbearing and ignoring all rules.
"Those with the surname Ling are family. Whoever dares bully him is bullying me. You guys can't even afford to lose. The Dragon Gate has lost all its face because of you guys... I have to go find Elder He Gong and ask him how he teaches his disciples. Moreover, it that this competition was started by you guys," Ling Ba shouted at He Gong.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense with him? If you want to fight, then fight. I, Ling Xiao, won't be afraid of a Divine King like him!" Ling Xiao revealed a fearless expression from the side.
Based on the power of his divine soul, he sensed that He Jiang had just entered the Divine King Realm not long ago. With his divine soul at the peak of a low-level Divine King, if he fought with He Jiang, he would win more than he would lose.
Ling Ba didn't expect Ling Xiao to be so heroic, so he gave him a look of admiration and gave him a thumbs up, "Sure enough, you're all from the same family. You've got guts."
He Jiang's face was ashen as he said, "Good guts. I won't kill you, but I will let you know the consequences of insulting my junior brother. You must pay a heavy price!"
He Jiang prepared to make a move again, but he was stopped once again.
The referee elder said in a low voice, "He Jiang, could it be that you want to openly challenge the sect's rules!"
This referee elder was also a low-level Divine King. Although he didn't have any status, he knew that there were some rules that couldn't be broken, so he spoke out to stop him.
He Jiang revealed an indignant expression and said, "Brat, if you have the guts, then fight me!"
He actually challenged Ling Xiao with the strength of a Divine King. This guy was even more shameless than Wen Tai Le.
"Others might be afraid of you, but I'm not. If you want to fight, then fight!" Ling Xiao replied coldly.
"Alright, alright, I'll show you what a true god is. A small fry like you can't even withstand a single blow from me!" He Jiang said fiercely.
Ling Xiao was already on guard. His power surged non-stop, and the energy conversion and fusion between his divine soul and dantian actually became much faster. His aura became unstable.
"Oh no, could it be that I'm going to break through now?" Ling Xiao cried out anxiously in his heart.
He Jiang was really prepared to attack, but he was once again depressed.
Because he was stopped by someone again.
A faintly discernible voice sounded out, "He Jiang, why aren't you taking your junior brother away? Don't you think that you haven't lost enough face?"
If it was someone else's order, He Jiang could ignore it. However, this voice belonged to his master, how could he openly disobey it?
He could only stop and stare at Ling Xiao unwillingly: "I hope you can live longer and give me a chance to trample on you!"
"Hehe, you can rest assured about that. This youth is still young. An old fellow like you will probably die faster than me!" Ling Xiao retorted.
He Jiang coldly snorted and no longer argued with Ling Xiao. He brought Wen Tai Le, who had already lost his fighting spirit, and left the competition grounds.
At this time, Feng Qingyuan, Yu Rou and Xiao Ling jumped up and arrived beside Ling Xiao to check if he was injured.
Ling Xiao was naturally fine. He looked at Ling Ba and said: "Ling Ba, this name is not very suitable for you. If it were me, I would have beaten that bastard into a pig's head long ago. There's no need to talk so much nonsense!"
Ling Ba was stunned. He did not expect Ling Xiao to evaluate him like this.
He did not dare to refute. Instead, he revealed a silly smile and said: "Granduncle is right to lecture me. If anyone dares to cause trouble for Granduncle in the future, I will immediately beat them into a pig's head!"
Ling Ba was much older than Ling Xiao, and his strength was also much stronger than Ling Xiao. However, in terms of seniority in the clan, he was several generations lower than Ling Xiao, so he still had to obediently call him Granduncle.
"Alright, stop trying to get close to me. Are you afraid that others don't know about our relationship?
I'm going back to close it. It seems like I have gained something from this battle! "Ling Xiao said with a wave of his hand.
Immediately after, he hurried back to his residence with the three women.
Ling Ba sensed Ling Xiao's unstable aura, and a hint of joy flashed across his face. "This Little Granduncle looks very good. I think he won't be too lonely in the sect in the future!"
…
He Jiang had already brought Wen Taile back to his master, He Gong's residence.
"Mas … Master!" Wen Taile looked at his master with a dispirited expression.
He knew his master's character. After losing this battle so shamefully, his fate could be imagined.
He Gong frowned, and anger flashed across his old face. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. Then, he waved his hand and signaled for someone to take him away.
"Master, please give me another chance. I … don't want to leave the sect!" Wen Taile pleaded loudly.
Unfortunately, his pleading made He Gong even more annoyed. He could not even be bothered to say another word. He just closed his eyes and let the others take him away.
After Wen Taile was dragged away, He Gong shouted heavily, "Useless trash!"
He had nurtured Wen Taile for so many years, but unexpectedly, he could not even defeat a peak Holy Emperor. He had probably lost all his face, and he would become a laughing stock in front of his fellow disciples in the future.
He Jiang, who was at the side, said, "Master, which elder's disciple is that little bastard?
His surname is' Ling '. Is he really not a member of that clan? "
He Gong's old eyes flashed with a complicated expression as he said, "Those with the surname 'Ling' are all from the same clan. It doesn't matter whether he is or not. In any case, I already treat him as one. I actually don't know who took in such an outstanding disciple. It seems like there are some things that we are still unaware of!"
"So what?
Are we just going to let him continue?
He cultivates both ice and fire. Once he becomes a Divine King, his battle prowess will not be weak! "He Jiang said with some worry.
"What are you trying to say?
Could it be that you think that Master would do such a thing to harm one's own brother? "He Gong said in a deep voice.
He Jiang hurriedly said, "No … No, I'm saying that if he joins that faction, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us!"
Outsiders did not know that Dragon Gate had already been divided into three factions. One faction was led by the Kim people. They were the strongest and were also the orthodox faction that had been passed down from the founder of Dragon Gate. The other faction was the new Godly Body Faction. They joined Dragon Gate and received great support from Dragon Gate, allowing them to become the new generation's leader. However, as their strength grew, their ambition also surged. They actually wanted to replace the orthodox faction and take charge of Dragon Gate. The other faction did not help either side. They only wanted to stay in Dragon Gate and develop peacefully. As long as there was no conflict of interest, they would not interfere.
The orthodox faction of Dragon Gate was naturally the Kim people's people. However, this only referred to a small portion of the Kim people who managed Dragon Gate. Most of the Kim people's experts stayed in the clan and rarely came out to interfere. The Godly Body Faction had a few Supremes in the sect. As for He Gong, this Senjin Of Goguryeo, he was only one of their representatives.
"Sigh, what a good seedling. If they could give their position to us to manage, there would be no need for us to fight among ourselves." He Gong sighed softly. He then said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. When the time comes, someone will help us get back at them!"
He Jiang tactfully replied, "Yes, Master!"
…
The news of Ling Xiao defeating Wen Taile spread very quickly. Almost everyone in Dragon Gate knew about it. Of course, this included Ling Chen and his wife, as well as Ling Fei, who had been paying attention to it.
They were holding a Recording Crystal Bead and watching the battle.
Xiao Zhencai was puzzled. "Why does Ling Xiao cultivate both ice and fire? Isn't his attribute metal?"
Ling Fei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you might not know this, but not only does this kid cultivate both ice and fire, he also cultivates wood, wind, and metal attributes. Moreover, he has cultivated each attribute to the extreme!"
Ling Fei had already seen the records of Ling Xiao's battle in Stone Sky City. He already knew that Ling Xiao didn't only cultivate one attribute.
"There's actually such a thing? But … how can he activate his bloodline to such an extent?" Xiao Zhencai asked again.
There were some people in the clan who intermarried with other clans, such as her and Ling Chen. She knew that because of this, the children born from the union of two clansmen with different attributes would definitely have different attributes. Even if the child was of the metal attribute, it would be difficult to activate the power of his bloodline to the peak.
However, Ling Xiao's bloodline had long been proven to be pure and rich.
This was what Xiao Zhencai was puzzled about.
