Chapter 54

On the martial arts platform, on one side stood a handsome man in a splendid outfit with a golden glow, and on the other side stood a mature woman in a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her alluring figure. Although she was still a young girl, she had now become an extraordinary beauty with a head of beautiful and unusual white hair, which was very attractive.

What Shen Xiang found incredible was that Crown Prince Song Nanming was looking at Leng Youlan with a hateful gaze. Shen Xiang was certain that there must be some enmity between them.

"Have you heard? This Crown Prince once proposed to Leng Youlan, but she refused him. Moreover, because the Crown Prince made inappropriate advances, she slapped him," one person said.

"I heard that Leng Youlan also kicked the Crown Prince in a sensitive area, incapacitating him. Later, he had to spend a lot of spirit money to buy good spirit medicines to recover," a middle-aged man laughed.

"Haha, this is going to be interesting."

Shen Xiang didn't expect Leng Youlan to have such courage, daring to treat Song Nanming like that.

As soon as the match began, Leng Youlan transformed into a black shadow, darting around the platform. This superb lightness skill was her specialty. She moved at high speed on the platform, occasionally striking Song Nanming with a palm or a kick, but he managed to dodge or block her attacks.

Song Nanming was also quite skilled, but he was much weaker compared to Leng Youlan. Leng Youlan possessed both ice and fire meridians, allowing her to blend ice and fire true qi into a powerful and strange true qi.

Although Song Nanming could block her attacks, Leng Youlan's true qi had a significant impact on him, making him feel alternately cold and hot. He couldn't attack Leng Youlan because she was too fast.

"Leng Youlan definitely doesn't have good martial arts skills. She can only use this fast-moving lightness skill," Su Meiyao said. "Because she has ice and fire true qi, there are very few martial arts suitable for her. So she can only fight in this way to avoid getting hurt. Her opponent can't even touch her. This girl is quite smart."

Shen Xiang cultivated Heartless True Qi, but he could use a single attribute of true qi. However, Leng Youlan couldn't; whenever she used true qi, she had to use both attributes, which made her body feel alternately cold and hot. There were very few, if any, martial arts suitable for this, which was a source of great frustration for Leng Youlan. Although her true qi was formidable, she lacked good martial arts to fully utilize its power.

Unable to attack Leng Youlan, Song Nanming became increasingly angry. He knew that if this continued, he would definitely lose.

At that moment, Shen Xiang noticed a faint flash on the platform. His eyesight was excellent; he could even see the legs of ants on the platform.

Shen Xiang saw several transparent fine needles suddenly shoot out from Song Nanming's sleeve.

"It's ice needles!" Shen Xiang cursed inwardly. At that moment, he heard Leng Youlan let out a cold, delicate cry. She suddenly clutched her abdomen, her face full of anger as she glared at Song Nanming.

Song Nanming sneered, took a step forward, and kicked Leng Youlan in the abdomen with a leg charged with true qi. The powerful and violent kick sent Leng Youlan flying off the platform.

Leng Youlan let out a delicate cry as she flew off the platform, but she managed to stand steadily. Her hand, which was covering her abdomen, was covered in blood.

"You... You despicable scoundrel!" Leng Youlan's teeth were almost grinding to pieces, her eyes full of hatred as she glared at Song Nanming on the platform.

"You are not skilled enough, so you call me despicable?" Song Nanming sneered.

Leng Youlan removed her hand, and her abdomen was still bleeding, but there was nothing there, only a slight chill. She quickly realized it was the ice needles, which had melted.

Shen Xiang stepped forward, took out some medicinal powder and a detoxifying pill, and said in a serious tone, "Be careful, the ice needles might be poisonous."

Leng Youlan looked at the items in Shen Xiang's hand, hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and said softly, "Thank you!"

"Don't worry, I will make this kind of person pay," Shen Xiang smiled at her.

Leng Youlan sighed, "My hope of joining a martial arts sect is shattered. Thank you, Master Shen, for the medicine."

Shen Xiang understood that for Leng Youlan to learn suitable martial arts, she needed to join a sect. But now she had lost.

"Boy, give her a Golden Spirit Fruit and let her go to the Great Martial Sect. With her rare ice and fire dual meridians, the Great Martial Sect will definitely accept her," Su Meiyao said.

Shen Xiang was taken aback and looked at Leng Youlan's face, which was still filled with anger.

"Tell her that if the Great Martial Sect doesn't accept her, she can use the Golden Spirit Fruit to exchange for a test opportunity," Bai Youyou's voice said. They were all women, and Leng Youlan was a good seed, so they naturally hoped she would achieve something in the future.

Shen Xiang said softly, "Miss Leng, the poison from the ice needles might be severe. Please go to the Alchemy King Pavilion and have the Alchemy King check it."

Song Nanming on the platform gritted his teeth, looking at Shen Xiang and Leng Youlan. He didn't hear what Shen Xiang said, but he saw Shen Xiang being kind to Leng Youlan, which made him secretly hate him.

Shen Xiang's kindness to Leng Youlan was natural. One was a renowned young genius, and the other was a beautiful girl at the Seventh Level of the Mortal Martial Realm. It was normal for them to admire each other.

Leng Youlan nodded and followed Shen Xiang away, worried that the ice needles might be poisonous, which could be fatal.

On the third floor of the Alchemy King Pavilion, Meng Bo's face was full of anger. "What a vicious poison. This is a poison that can remain in the body for a long time, and it usually takes effect months or even a year later."

"Little girl, don't worry. Although this poison is powerful, it can be easily removed once discovered," Meng Bo chuckled and took out a pill. "This is a high-grade White Heart Pill, which can remove this poison."

Leng Youlan, upon learning that Song Nanming used such vicious means against her, was filled with hatred.

She looked at the pill in Meng Bo's hand and asked softly, "How much spirit money do I need?"

"It's free. Just take it," Shen Xiang took the pill and handed it to her.

Meng Bo chuckled and left tactfully.

Leng Youlan looked at Shen Xiang with a complex expression. "Why are you helping me like this?" Although she asked, she guessed that Shen Xiang was attracted to her beauty. However, she also knew that Shen Xiang had a fiancée who had been taken away by those martial arts sects, and her talent was evident.

Shen Xiang smiled, "Nothing, just want to make a friend!"

Leng Youlan took the pill and smiled at Shen Xiang, like a peony in full bloom, making him momentarily speechless.

"I never thought I could be friends with a genius alchemist like you. This is truly an honor," Leng Youlan's face brightened, and she said softly, "Thank you, Master Shen!"

Shen Xiang shook his head, "Nothing, here's the Golden Spirit Fruit, take it."

Although Leng Youlan wasn't very knowledgeable about alchemy, she had heard of the Golden Spirit Fruit, which was a signature spirit medicine of the Alchemy King Pavilion. She didn't expect Shen Xiang to give it to her.
