With that, a figure landed beside Chang Haoyou like a gust of wind.
He directly grabbed at the flame on Chang Haoyou's body.
Whoosh!
The inextinguishable flame on Chang Haoyou's body was directly sucked into his palm. No matter how much it burned, it could not harm him at all.
Then, he made a shocking move and stuffed the ball of flames into his mouth.
This was a ball of heavenly fire. Just now, Chang Haoyou had used his divine power to immediately expel it, but this person had grabbed it with his bare hands and even swallowed it.
This was indeed rather shocking, but when they thought about the person's identity, they understood.
However, after the man appeared, a fairy-like woman floated down. An enchanting fragrance instantly filled the area, causing everyone to look in her direction involuntarily.
All the men stared at her, their eyes filled with deep infatuation, while the women all showed looks of envy and jealousy. At the same time, they also felt a little inferior.
They all secretly praised, "What a beautiful fairy!"
In the arena, Nie Dao's eyes flashed when he saw the woman.
However, this expression only flashed for a moment, and he quickly recovered his composure. It was clear that his temperament was definitely not something that ordinary Godkings could compare to.
This couple was Ling Xiao and Yun Mengqi, who had rushed back to Dragon Gate from the Profound Sky Region.
As soon as they returned to Dragon Gate, they heard a lot of news. They even knew that Chang Haoyou was fighting someone, so they immediately rushed over to take a look.
They never thought that Chang Haoyou would already be defeated by his opponent.
"Haoyou, are you alright?" Ling Xiao asked Chang Haoyou.
Chang Haoyou struggled to stand and shook his head, "I won't die yet."
"Take it!" A healing pill appeared in Ling Xiao's hand and he handed it to him.
God Tier pills were not something that regular Godkings could easily possess, but Ling Xiao did not lack them.
Chang Haoyou didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed it. Then he said to Ling Xiao, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I've embarrassed you!"
Ling Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't you still have me?"
He then glanced at Yun Mengqi and said, "You can leave first, you've stolen my limelight."
Yun Mengqi glared at Ling Xiao, "There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"En, this is my territory, what could possibly happen? This is senior brother Chang Haoyou, and this is my wife Yun Meng Qi. Alright, you can all leave now." Ling Xiao nodded, then gave a simple introduction to the two of them before letting them leave.
However, right at this moment, the surrounding people immediately started jeering.
"What are you doing? You're actually interfering with the competition? Has Chang Haoyou admitted defeat yet?
If you admit defeat, then hurry up and scram. Junior Brother Nie Dao is invincible. "
"That's right, before Chang Haoyou admits defeat, how can he leave? This is a great disrespect to the rules of the competition. Elder must punish him."
"Do you even understand the rules of the competition? Hurry up and scram, Junior Brother Nie Dao still wants to kill Chang Haoyou."
"He … he seems to be the new Divine Alchemist Elder Ling Xiao from three years ago. It's best if we don't talk about it. It won't be good if we offend him in the future."
… …
Originally, when they saw that Ling Xiao had suddenly broken the rules of the competition, they had been clamoring to punish him. However, when they suddenly recognized Ling Xiao's identity, they immediately covered up their mouths.
There was no helping it, as there were only a few Divine Alchemists in the Dragon Gate. If they offended them now, then they would naturally not give them any face in the future if they ever needed to ask them to concoct pills for them.
Before Chang Haoyou left the stage, he finally said to Nie Dao, "You win this battle!"
He had engraved the feeling of Nie Dao using the Origin Flame to burn him in his heart. One day, he would get back at Nie Dao.
However, before that, he was sure that Ling Xiao would definitely help him collect some interest.
"You're leaving just like that?" Nie Dao asked indifferently.
Chang Haoyou frowned and looked at him. "What else do you want?"
"You guys said that you want to challenge me, so I'll let you challenge me as you wish. But now that you've lost, you want to leave without any sincerity? This is too much of a joke!"
Nie Dao said. He paused for a moment before continuing, "My request is very simple. Whoever challenges me and loses must loudly announce to the surrounding disciples that they're not strong enough and admit defeat. In the future, whenever I'm around, avoid me!"
"That's right, if all of you challenge Junior Brother Nie, then wouldn't that make him exhausted? There's no benefit to defeating any of you, so let's do as Junior Brother Nie says and admit defeat. That way, Junior Brother Nie wouldn't have accepted your challenges in vain!" Someone immediately followed up on Nie Dao's words.
The other disciples from the God System also agreed.
"That's right, this request isn't too excessive. Let's see who dares to challenge Junior Brother Nie so easily in the future."
"That's right, we should have done this a long time ago. Let's see if some people are shameless enough to challenge us again."
"In my opinion, Junior Brother Nie is still too kind. If it were me, I would definitely make him kowtow and admit defeat to vent my anger."
"You're right, we should make him kowtow and admit defeat!"
… …
One by one, they began to clamor for Chang Haoyou to kneel down. As for the Kim people, they were all furious, but they couldn't say anything. After all, Nie Dao's request wasn't too excessive.
However, for the person who lost, these three declarations of defeat were indeed adding insult to injury.
He had already lost face, and now he had to admit defeat to his fellow disciples. Wasn't this forcing him to slap his own face?
Chang Haoyou's expression became unsightly.
If he did this, he would probably be mocked and ridiculed in the future within the Dragon Gate.
This would be a huge blow to his confidence and would shake his faith.
At this time, Ling Xiao patted Chang Haoyou's shoulder and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. A win is a win, a loss is a loss, there's nothing to be afraid of. Even if you lose this time, as long as you know how to be brave after being humiliated, you can just get back at them next time. No one dares to say that they're invincible, right?
"Haoyou, go and say a few words to them."
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he secretly transmitted his voice, "Junior Brother will help you get back at them!"
Ling Xiao's words undoubtedly allowed Chang Haoyou to see his own heart. The words "know how to be brave after being humiliated" gave him a great deal of encouragement and confidence. His expression became comfortable, and then, he followed Nie Dao's words and admitted defeat three times in a row, as well as avoiding Nie Dao in the future!
Chang Haoyou and Yun Mengqi walked down the stage, leaving only Ling Xiao and Nie Dao on the stage.
The surrounding people did not disperse, because they all felt that the next battle was about to begin.
"Grandmaster Ling Xiao, you must help us get back at them. You absolutely cannot let them succeed!" Ling Yuelu had seen Ling Xiao's strength before, so she immediately shouted at Ling Xiao.
The other Kim people's people also opened their mouths to ask Ling Xiao to defeat Nie Dao and restore the momentum of the younger generation of Kim people.
Ling Xiao smiled at Nie Dao and said, "I am Ling Xiao. May I ask who this senior brother is?"
He was very interested in Nie Dao. He could feel that Nie Dao seemed to have a sense of age that did not match his actual age. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a person who had not even reached a hundred years of age, but rather an old fellow who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Nie Dao was also very interested in Ling Xiao. He had long since heard everything about Ling Xiao. A God King who was younger than him, and a Godly Alchemist at that, was definitely the most dazzling new star of his generation.
And just now, he had heard how he helped Chang Haoyou resolve his inner demons, allowing Chang Haoyou to recover his original heart, so he could not underestimate him.
Nie Dao only glanced at Ling Xiao once before ignoring Ling Xiao. He turned around and was about to leave the stage.
The surrounding people were stunned. They did not expect Nie Dao to not give Ling Xiao any face at all.
The people from the Divine Physique Faction were all smiling wantonly, while the people from Kim people's side were all extremely ugly.
Nie Dao was too arrogant!
No matter what, Ling Xiao was the sixth Godly Alchemist in Dragon Gate. His status was only inferior to the gate master and a few elders. However, Ling Xiao had taken the initiative to greet Nie Dao, and Nie Dao did not even bother to ignore him. This was a direct slap to Ling Xiao's face.
The smile on Ling Xiao's face did not change. It was still as amiable and handsome as ever, and he did not feel the slightest bit angry at Nie Dao's actions.
Before Nie Dao left the stage, Ling Xiao looked around at the people around him and said, "Recently, my fellow brothers and sisters have been actively challenging others to learn from each other so that they can improve their own strength. This is indeed the tradition of the number one sect in Dragon Gate."
Ling Xiao's words were strange to everyone present. It was supposed to be a fight between the two factions, but in his words, it was a friendly competition to improve one's strength.
No one understood what Ling Xiao was trying to do. Could it be that he just wanted to prove his existence? Was he just saying these ostentatious words to prove his existence?
Ling Xiao then changed the topic, "I'm not very talented, but I barely managed to become a limited Godly Alchemist in the sect three years ago and was given the title of a senior inner elder. Perhaps everyone thinks that I, Ling Xiao, only know how to refine pills and that my strength is limited. In fact, everyone might not know this, but I, Ling Xiao, have been given the title 'Unrivaled Smiling Gentleman' since I was young. This doesn't mean that I, Ling Xiao, am unrivaled under the heavens, but within the same realm, I, Ling Xiao, am unrivaled." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, I don't like this title at all. Not only am I unrivaled among those of the same realm, but I, Ling Xiao, can also defeat those of a higher realm than me!
Now, I welcome any fellow disciples of the same realm to challenge me. I'll give a God King Pill to whoever defeats me! "
Arrogant!
Who was more arrogant than the other!
This was definitely something that could be seen with a single glance.
When everyone looked at Ling Xiao's smile, they no longer felt that he was handsome. Instead, they all wanted to beat him into a pig's head!
Damn, he actually dared to say such big words. Wasn't he afraid of spraining his tongue?
At the same time, they all heard that Ling Xiao was actually so generous as to use a God King Pill as a wager. This was simply unprecedented good news!
The people of the Divine Physique Faction all rubbed their fists and palms together. From the looks of it, all of them wanted to compete with Ling Xiao and win a God King Pill!
