Chapter 48

At the Lei Guang Hall, Xu Huang is the leader, and he must take responsibility for the current situation of the Lei Guang Hall. Therefore, he has taken on the task of exploring the new secret realm. No one knows if he will return from this journey. Before leaving, he thought of Wang Meng.

As Zhao Ya said, bringing someone who is not capable to the Small Thousand World is not helping them, but harming them. However, seeing Wang Meng today, Xu Huang's confidence was instead strengthened.

Perhaps humans cannot overcome heaven, but they are not to be toyed with at will. The key is to be without regret!

He, Xu Huang, has nothing to regret!

When he saw Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaopang, the two were clearly more capable than him. Hu Jing had already cultivated to the twelfth level, and Zhang Xiaopang had reached the eleventh level. The most obvious change was the boost in their confidence.

During this period, Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang had been fully focused, and with the dedicated guidance of the elders, they truly received unprecedented opportunities, making rapid progress every day.

"Brother Meng, I feel so strong now. I could even shoot two holes in the Dao Guang Hall, not just the Heng Shan Hall!"

Zhang Xiaopang flexed his muscles, especially after obtaining the Golden Silk Iron Wire Bow, his offensive power had increased dramatically. A good bow indeed made a significant difference in the effectiveness of bow cultivation techniques, no wonder Zhang Xiaopang's confidence had soared.

"Let's win against the Heng Shan Hall first," Hu Jing smiled, her calm demeanor clearly indicating that she had gained more insights during this time.

The pressure from the Heng Shan Hall had truly angered the elders. When someone becomes arrogant to the extreme, they can indeed be unstoppable, but no one can stop the elders from guiding their disciples, and no one can prevent a master from giving their disciple a magical treasure.

The Heng Shan Hall had inadvertently provided Zhang Xiaojiang and Hu Jing with a golden opportunity.

"Hehe, with my Golden Silk Iron Wire Bow and Jingjing's Ice and Fire Talismans, they will have a hard time, hahaha," Zhang Xiaojiang said proudly. "Brother Meng, Jingjing has a rare Water and Fire Reversal Constitution, allowing her to use both Fire Talismans and Ice Soul Talismans simultaneously without the powers conflicting, hahaha, this time the Heng Shan Hall will have a tough time!"

"Don't listen to Zhang Xiaopang's exaggerations. Although the Ice Soul Talismans add another attack method, it's not that simple against a skilled opponent," Hu Jing was not overly optimistic. Generally, opponents might be flustered by two opposing forces, but it's different against a skilled one.

"Water and Fire don't mix, Jingjing. When these two forces combine, they can cause an explosion, a power beyond compare. You have to be careful!"

Wang Meng said in surprise.

"Hehe, I have a Water and Fire Constitution, so when I channel my primordial energy, the conflict can be transformed. No need to worry," Hu Jing smiled. Wang Meng was an outsider, so he would say such things, but most people would think the same.

"Oh, that's a relief. But if that power can be used for attacks, it would be amazing, hehe."

Wang Meng smiled.

"That's impossible, Brother Meng. Even with Jingjing's special constitution, the Five Elements' mutual克制 (restraint) hasn't changed," Zhang Xiaopang shook his head, having learned a lot under Wan Jing's guidance recently.

Wang Meng smiled without a word, while Hu Jing seemed deep in thought.

"Seeing your confidence, I have to step up my game. I can't let the Lei Guang Hall down!"

"Brother Meng, who can match you in a fight?"

After chatting for a while, Wang Meng, as usual, went to see Ma Tian'er. This junior sister seemed quite relaxed, showing no signs of pre-battle pressure, which was why Wang Meng sought her out. It was clear that Ma Tian'er wasn't very focused on combat and had a laid-back personality. This time, she was just there to make up the numbers, not to fight.

Although that was the case, since she was helping, it wouldn't be right for Wang Meng to pass by without visiting her. Seeing that her mood wasn't affected by the hall battle was a relief, but a few senior sisters looked at him as if he were a class enemy.

With the hall battle approaching, Zhang Liang's recent focus has been on Li Tianyi. After extensive investigations, this person was no ordinary individual, possibly even more formidable than rumored. The Nine Heroes of the Holy Hall were particularly interested in him, and information about his strength could fetch a good price. These senior brothers and sisters were all big spenders, and even a small leak from them could be more generous than others.

If there was anything particularly significant recently, it was the upcoming hall battle between the Heng Shan Hall and the Lei Guang Hall. It was indeed strange that the Heng Shan Hall, with its questionable judgment, would challenge the Lei Guang Hall. What would they gain even if they won? But the Heng Shan Hall was used to bullying others, so they probably didn't care.

No one really cared about this battle. The Lei Guang Hall had Zhao Guang, whom the Zhao family wanted to help the Lei Guang Hall rise. However, they overestimated their own abilities and the Lei Guang Hall's weakness. Now that Zhao Guang was gone, the Lei Guang Hall was just a bunch of trash. Even Zhang Liang had no interest, and no one had asked him for information.

At this moment, a sparrow demon landed, and Zhang Liang took the note, instantly stunned. He scratched his head, this...

Zhang Liang now dealt in information, and his resources were limited, so he had developed disciples in various sub-halls, except for the Lei Guang Hall, which had no value. He had to pay each person he hired.

This information came from the Ling Yin Hall. Li Tianyi, Ming Ren, and the strongest of the Ling Yin Hall's young generation were all going to watch the hall battle between the Heng Shan Hall and the Lei Guang Hall?

Zhang Liang pinched his face, was this a joke?

No, every informant he had developed shared his passion for gossip, so this wouldn't happen.

Li Tianyi! Ming Ren! The Four Tigers of Ling Yin! They were all going to watch what should be the most boring hall battle, such a loss of face. Why would they do this for the Heng Shan Hall?

The Heng Shan Hall's thug-like behavior couldn't affect the Ling Yin Hall. Although the Ling Yin Hall might have fewer disciples than the Heng Shan Hall, they were the most united in combat. With Li Tianyi now, they could even match the Dao Guang Hall.

Zhang Liang knew there was a big conspiracy hidden here, but he had no leads. This feeling was really uncomfortable, like an itch.

It was the Lei Guang Hall again. Thinking about the seventh-ranked task that was eliminated recently, could it be...

...Zhang Liang laughed to himself. Was it too coincidental? Could it really be the Lei Guang Hall?

The information itself was too questionable, and Zhang Liang didn't dare to take it seriously. If he sold it and Li Tianyi didn't show up, and the hall battle turned out to be a low-level brawl, he would lose face.

Suddenly, Senior Sister Yang Ying's beautiful face appeared in his mind. For others, he would charge, but for Senior Sister Yang Ying, he could give it away for free.

With a surge of excitement, Zhang Liang immediately wrote a letter and had his sparrow demon deliver it.

Zhang Liang kept dozens of sparrow demons as messengers. When he had more resources, he would replace them all. Although sparrow demons were cheap and effective, they were not very secure and were also clumsy. As his clients grew, using sparrow demons was a bit low-class. For example, delivering a letter to Senior Sister Yang Ying, he needed to be more upscale. Zhang Liang thought more about this and decided to visit the Beast Taming Hall. He had connections there, and getting a spirit beast at a low price was still possible.
