Wei Lingxuan was the first to deny it.
"What do you think his intention is for going to the fourth circle?" Wei Lingxuan said to her cousin beside her with a faint tone.
"I think he knows he will fail, so he wants to go to a higher level,"
"Even if he fails, he will still look good because he will have failed in challenging the fourth-level compatibility," Wei Qingyi's face was full of disdain.
"What do you all think?" Wei Lingxuan looked at everyone.
"My view is similar to Brother Qingyi's."
"To me, this person is just a freak, enjoying being humiliated, probably has some mental illness."
The geniuses of Tianfu each had their own opinions, but they all shared a common core: Li Tianming was a joke.
"Just wait and see, he won't last thirty breaths in the fourth circle's spiritual storm before he bursts into pieces," Wei Lingxuan said.
"If he dies, who will he blame?" Wei Qingyi thought of this point.
"Who can he blame? According to Tianfu's rules, disciples are strictly required to follow their compatibility with the Yanhuang Stone and not overreach."
"He chose to challenge the rules himself, if he dies, no one can blame anyone else," Wei Lingxuan rolled her eyes.
"I also think it can't be blamed on Wei Lingxuan."
"Xuan'er was already polite to him today, considering her status and his status."
"No wonder, someone from the countryside doesn't know what the Wei family is like in Tianfu."
The flattery made Wei Lingxuan feel particularly comfortable.
She was now waiting, not for half an hour, but for Li Tianming to reverse his power, spit blood, and fall to the ground.
She felt it was about time.
Thirty breaths were almost up, and she was ready to start counting down.
She had endured the fourth circle, so she knew how difficult it was to cultivate there.
Back then, she barely lasted half a quarter of an hour, already dizzy and almost spitting blood, fortunately, her father timely brought her out.
After that, she never dared to enter the fourth circle again.
Acknowledging one's compatibility with the Yanhuang Stone is the fundamental cultivation of a Tianfu disciple.
She glanced at Jiang Feilin, seeing her nervous appearance, Wei Lingxuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Beautiful, but not here," she pointed to her head, expressing her opinion of Jiang Feilin to Wei Qingyi.
"I'll still pursue Princess Qing, at least she is very smart," Wei Qingyi said.
"Sixth Senior Sister? I'm afraid you can't handle her. She isn't a naive and sweet girl," Wei Lingxuan said.
"Just wait and see, Sister Xuan, my charm isn't as simple as you think," Wei Qingyi flicked his hair, speaking with confidence.
Wei Lingxuan suddenly realized that a lot of time had passed during their conversation.
The scene she imagined of Li Tianming spitting blood and falling to the ground did not happen.
She wasn't in a hurry because there was still a lot of time, maybe in the next moment, what she hoped for would happen.
Inside the Yanhuang Tower, an eerie silence enveloped the atmosphere, everyone's gaze focused on Li Tianming.
Unconsciously, half a quarter of an hour had passed.
Wei Lingxuan pursed her lips; she had only lasted half a quarter of an hour, yet Li Tianming was still fine after half a quarter of an hour!
"Is he already dead inside, with all his organs shattered?" Wei Lingxuan's face started to look awkward.
"Sister Xuan, he is still cultivating, his aura is very strong," Wei Qingyi said, dumbfounded.
Wei Lingxuan confirmed that she hadn't misjudged; Li Tianming was fine, which meant he was on par with her.
This realization sent shivers down Wei Lingxuan's spine.
"If he had chosen the third circle, wouldn't he have lasted half an hour?" Wei Lingxuan asked, eyes wide.
"Yes, Sister Xuan, you underestimated him," Wei Qingyi gritted his teeth.
His face started to look bad again; to be honest, he wanted Li Tianming to burst into pieces even more than Wei Lingxuan did.
"It's impossible. At his age, to only have this realm means his talent is very low."
"He didn't inherit our Wei family's excellent talent, mixed with the blood of a country pig, where does he get his talent from?"
Wei Lingxuan was baffled.
"I can't figure it out either, but fortunately, he chose the fourth circle, overreaching has a price."
"Sister Xuan, you successfully avoided a disaster, and he is about to suffer for his overreaching," Wei Qingyi said.
Wei Lingxuan also felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, Li Tianming chose the fourth circle, fortunately, he didn't know any better, otherwise, she would have really fallen today.
"Just finish it," Wei Lingxuan started to mutter in her heart, muttering while staring at Li Tianming.
Everyone was staring at him; when half a quarter of an hour passed, many people knew what it meant.
People couldn't help but marvel that if Li Tianming's brain wasn't broken, Wei Lingxuan would have definitely not escaped today.
Time passed again, and every moment that followed was a torment for Wei Lingxuan and everyone else!
Only Jiang Feilin's eyes shone with increasing hope; she saw more clearly than anyone that Li Tianming was becoming more stable, even stronger!
She stood closest to Li Tianming, absolutely a beautiful sight in the Yanhuang Tower.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Two quarters of an hour passed!
Time mercilessly flowed, and in the torment and awkward faces, three quarters of an hour passed.
Half an hour is four quarters, and Li Tianming had no issues, already lasting three quarters of an hour!
This meant that in the final quarter of an hour, he would have no problems at all!
The entire Yanhuang Tower was in a chaotic countdown.
The changes in their faces during this half an hour could be described as textbook shock.
From initial contempt, disdain, ridicule, and regret, it gradually turned to confusion, bewilderment, and frustration.
As it approached half an hour, the expressions of the Tianfu geniuses had already turned to discomfort, shock, and tension.
Everyone knew that Li Tianming and Wei Lingxuan had a bet, and the stakes set by Wei Lingxuan were very harsh. If Li Tianming succeeded, then Wei Lingxuan would...
Such a noble princess of the Wei family, licking Li Tianming's shoes?
This was more explosive than anything else.
But, to be honest, they couldn't accept such a fact, the more they couldn't accept it, the worse their faces looked.
At first, they were still discussing and pointing fingers.
Now, the entire scene was dead silent.
They all looked at Li Tianming's back with great discomfort.
Many people didn't dare to speak, because if they said the wrong thing, they would offend the person with the worst face, Wei Lingxuan.
At this moment, Wei Lingxuan and Wei Qingyi were like they had eaten a mouthful of hundreds of flies, chewed them up, and smeared them all over their mouths.
Their mouths were full of sticky, foul odors, and their faces were as bad as they could be.
This wasn't just anger and frustration, but a mix of various emotions.
On one hand, they couldn't believe Li Tianming could achieve this, and on the other hand, thinking about the bet they had made, their bodies trembled.
This bet, for both sides, the losing party would have to pay a huge price, it was a matter of face and dignity.
Wei Lingxuan had never thought she would lose, but now Li Tianming's stability made her despair.
Everyone could clearly see that Li Tianming not only successfully withstood the spiritual storm of the fourth circle, but also made progress in the half an hour of cultivation!
It was simply unbelievable!
Time had reached its most intense moment.
According to the clock in the Yanhuang Tower, half an hour had arrived on time, and Li Tianming was still as stable as a rock, immovable.
It seemed that the spiritual storm of the fourth circle could not shake his flesh and blood.
This Yanhuang Stone seemed to be his, serving him completely.
When half an hour arrived on time, the scene now clearly declared Wei Lingxuan's bet a failure!
The most explosive moment had arrived.
In the trembling gazes of the Tianfu geniuses, Li Tianming ended his cultivation.
He and the chicken slowly stood up, then turned around.
Li Tianming and the little yellow chicken had a strange and excited smile on their faces, staring at the present Wei Lingxuan.
Then, in the dead silence, they walked out of the Yanhuang Stone cultivation circle with that eerie smile.
In a few steps, they were in front of Wei Lingxuan.
"Come on, lick it clean for me, don't be shy, show your pink little tongue to everyone here."
Li Tianming, as if reaching the peak of his life, looked at Wei Lingxuan with a gaze full of oppressive power like the sun.
Wei Lingxuan clenched her fists, her face was already purple, her eyes were very dangerous, and her whole body was trembling.
"Li Tianming, don't go too far, don't forget who you are!" Wei Qingyi shouted angrily.
But even in his anger, he wasn't entirely righteous, because the bet was a test of fairness and courage.
They were clearly the losing side, and if they didn't pay the bet, they would be looked down upon.
Especially since they were from the Wei family.
"Li Tianming, let it go, you won today, we all admit it."
"We thought you were mediocre, but you managed to have such compatibility with the Yanhuang Stone, although it's strange, everyone can testify that you are indeed good."
"Many people had already stood up, standing beside Wei Lingxuan.
They spoke politely, but their eyes were a warning.
"Li Tianming, you've achieved your goal, we can apologize for underestimating you."
"To be honest, your performance just now was unbelievable, you have a fourth-level compatibility, from now on, the entire Tianfu won't mock you for low talent."
"Yes, your goal has been achieved, don't make it hard for Lingxuan, after all, she is a girl, as a man, don't be petty."
More and more people stood behind Wei Lingxuan, putting pressure on Li Tianming.
Their words seemed reasonable, but the key was their eyes.
When these eyes converged, it was like a mountain of pressure, forcing Li Tianming to submit and give up the chance to punish Wei Lingxuan.
"You're right, Li Tianming, you're not bad, you haven't disgraced us Tianfu disciples too much."
"About what happened just now, I won't hold it against you in the future, don't push your luck, don't waste my leniency!"
Wei Qingyi stood in front of him, protecting Wei Lingxuan, speaking with a righteous face.
The meaning was simple: the bet made by Wei Lingxuan was too embarrassing, it absolutely couldn't be fulfilled.
To protect Wei Lingxuan, he could temporarily be lenient with Li Tianming, as a trade-off.
"Alright, it's over, everyone disperse, or the masters will come and scold us for not cultivating."
"Yes, yes, disperse, it's just a farce, we are all Tianfu disciples, no need for this."
To protect Wei Lingxuan, there were too many peacemakers.
They put a lot of pressure on Li Tianming, to make him bow his head and let Wei Lingxuan off.
But, was it possible?
As they tried to smooth things over, Li Tianming, facing the immense pressure, suddenly smiled.
His mocking, contemptuous smile was very glaring, making many people's faces turn bad, and they shut their mouths.
