Chapter 37

Others were also buzzing with discussion. Could there really be such a person in the Holy Hall?

"This Li Tianyi is probably overrated, he has no breadth of mind at all."

"There are many people who fall short of their reputation. He is a direct descendant of the Li family."

All kinds of comments were made, and Ming Ren and the others didn’t need to guess what people inside would say.

"Junior Brother, why go through this?"

Li Tianyi smiled, "Senior Brother, don’t worry about me. I’m in the best state I’ve ever been in."

Ming Ren shook his head. The master was right; his junior brother couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards. If anyone else encountered such a situation, they would hide it at all costs. But he was different, not afraid of people’s gossip. To see through vanity at this age, even Ming Ren would have to give a thumbs up and praise him as remarkable!

This was genuine insight, and it could be felt that Li Tianyi’s current realm was very good.

"Senior Brother, if you had fought him, you would understand. My mindset was chaotic at the time; otherwise, my comprehension would have been even greater!"

"If we really find this extraordinary person, I won’t let him go either. Haha, I’ll walk my own path and let others talk!" Ming Ren patted Li Tianyi’s shoulder.

He couldn’t say for sure about others, but the Lingyin Hall was absolutely the most united of all the Holy Halls.

The task released by the Lingyin Hall immediately sparked a frenzy among the various sub-halls. Regardless of the hidden explosive implications, the reward for the task was astonishing, and finding someone didn’t involve much risk.

Suddenly, the fat members of the various sub-halls became popular.

Even the Leiguang Hall, which was not very well-informed, received the news three days later.

The sisters of the Leiguang Pavilion were gathered, discussing the matter.

"I heard Li Tianyi is very handsome!"

"He cultivated the Nine Heavens Imperial Fire Sword at the fifteenth level. I don’t believe anyone can beat him!"

"Neither do I!"

"Do you think the Lingyin Hall is just trying to confuse their opponents? They seem to be determined to dominate both the sub-hall rankings and the individual rankings."

"Very, very possible!"

"Only a fool would believe it!"

"The strong young generation of our Holy Hall is clear to see. It’s impossible for someone to have the strength to defeat him and remain unknown, unless they come from the main hall."

"If they came from the main hall, Li Tianyi wouldn’t be unfamiliar with them."

"Exactly, exactly."

"Sweetie!"

"Ah, what’s wrong, Senior Sister? Has Senior Brother Wang come?"

The women burst into laughter, "Little love-sick girl, what Senior Brother Wang? You really are something, acting like you’ve never seen a man before!"

Ma Tian’er blushed and hid under the counter, touching her burning cheeks. She didn’t understand why, but she felt an indescribable charm in Wang Meng. She couldn’t explain it, but she couldn’t control herself when she saw him. Could it be, as her senior sisters said, that she was just thinking about men?

Hu Jing was engraving a talisman when Zhao Ya received the message. She was initially stunned, then smiled warmly, "These kids nowadays are really full of surprises."

"Master, what’s so amusing?"

"The Lingyin Hall just released a task to find someone who can break the Nine Heavens Imperial Fire Sword. Although Li Tianyi’s life mark level is low, his Nine Heavens Imperial Fire Sword is indeed somewhat accomplished. While it’s not unbeatable among the young generation, it’s also not easy to break."

Zhao Ya shook her head and smiled. Among the four major families, the Li family’s sword techniques have always been the backbone of the Holy Hall.

The Zhao family’s magical artifacts, the Zhou family’s elixirs, the Ma family’s spirit beasts, and the Li family’s sword techniques.

The families were a broad concept within the Holy Hall, but they could influence the various sub-halls.

Hu Jing was indeed greatly shocked. Could it be... what Zhang Xiaopang said was true?

In an instant, Hu Jing understood why Zhang Xiajiang ran to find Wang Meng as soon as he learned that the Hengshan Hall was causing trouble!

"Xiaojing, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I’m just curious about how powerful Li Tianyi’s Nine Heavens Imperial Fire Sword is."

"Ha ha, work hard, and one day you can also make a name for yourself." Zhao Ya smiled warmly. Her disciple was both intelligent and diligent, and having such a talented student was not in vain for her time at the Leiguang Hall.

Hu Jing, on the other hand, was thinking about how to prank Zhang Xiaopang. This guy was getting bolder, daring to hide such a thing from her!

If it were someone else’s matter, the elders would probably ignore it, but with Li Tianyi involved, even a small matter became significant, especially one so interesting.

Zhang Xiaopang practiced all day, his eyes going blurry. What a load of nonsense, the Eagle Eye Technique, he would end up cross-eyed.

Originally a bit lazy, Zhang Xiaopang was forced to practice intensively, feeling a bit depressed. But suddenly, he saw a beautiful figure at the entrance of the Bow Sect and immediately cheered up.

"Isn’t this Jingjing? The sun must be rising in the west!"

"Zhang Xiaopang, come over, I need to talk to you!"

"Sure, sure, we can chat about life, I have all the time in the world."

When they returned to Hu Jing’s place, Zhang Xiaopang had a bump on his forehead. "No fair, Brother Meng likes to tap my head, and now you do too. I’m getting so stupid, who will be responsible if I can’t find a wife in the future?"

"Blame Wang Meng, you two are such good friends!"

Zhang Xiaopang shivered, sensing Hu Jing’s unfriendly tone. "Jingjing, don’t be angry. Just tell me what’s wrong, I’ll tell you everything I know."

Among the three, Zhang Xiajiang actually had the best and most easygoing personality.

"Did Wang Meng really defeat Li Tianyi?"

"Yes, what’s the matter? I’ve said it before, Brother Meng is a genius, a true genius." Zhang Xiajiang scratched his head.

Hu Jing was stunned. It was really true... She couldn’t describe her feelings. She had always felt that Wang Meng needed help, both in Leiguang City and in the Small Thousand World. But one day, she suddenly realized that the person she needed to take care of had become so strong.

"Jingjing, what’s wrong?"

Hu Jing snapped back to reality. "Nothing, I just didn’t react in time. The Lingyin Hall has set a major reward to find the two of you, it seems they want revenge."

"How much??"

Seeing Zhang Xiajiang’s drooling face, Hu Jing was speechless. Was this the point?

When she mentioned a thousand Holy Hall contributions, ten medium-grade spirit stones, and ninety low-grade spirit stones, the fat man’s saliva almost turned into a waterfall.

"Zhang Xiaopang, snap out of it. Don’t you think Wang Meng has been different since coming to the Small Thousand World?"

Zhang Xiaopang was still counting on his fingers. "Huh? What’s different? Nothing, Brother Meng is still as cool as ever. I’ve always said he’s the kind of person who stands out wherever he goes!"

Hu Jing was speechless. This fat man was smart sometimes, but how could he be so stupid at other times? It just didn’t make sense, or... was Wang Meng’s talent really that good, and she had misjudged him before?

And that chess game, Hu Jing vaguely felt it was left there on purpose by Wang Meng, but it was just a chess game, nothing significant. Maybe she was overthinking it.

"Jingjing, don’t worry. Brother Meng often says, life doesn’t require immortality, only a spectacular journey. We just need to fight for our own goals!" Zhang Xiaopang said calmly.
