Chapter 34

"Zhang Jingyan, he doesn’t know when to die!"

"Indeed, daring to accept Brother Tianlong’s challenge, he truly doesn’t know his place."

"Three months later, at the family competition, almost all the young warriors of the family will participate. At that time, everyone will see Jingyan being defeated by Brother Tianlong in one move."

"……"

After Jing Tianlong and others left Jingyan’s courtyard, the several Jing family warriors behind him all began to flatter him.

"Brother Tianlong, why did you give Jingyan three months? In my opinion, it would be better to force him to accept the challenge today. If he refuses, make him kowtow and apologize." Jing Yuyin said resentfully.

What she wanted was to humiliate Jingyan. Now, they had to wait for three months. If it weren’t for Jing Tianlong’s personal agreement, she would have jumped out long ago.

Jing Tianlong gave Jing Yuyin a faint look.

"You don’t understand!" Jing Tianlong shook his head slightly.

"In the past ten years, Jingyan has been the first genius of the Jing family, even the first genius of Donglin City. Although in recent times, his realm has fallen, many people believe he has fallen from his position as a genius. However, within the Jing family, there are still many who have expectations for him." Jing Tianlong’s voice was calm.

He was referring to the higher-ups in the Jing family, some of the elders who had not completely given up on Jingyan.

"Jingyan now shows signs of recovery. I know that last month, his strength was at the third level of the Martial Path. This month, it’s at the sixth level. At this rate of recovery, it won’t be long before he can return to the innate realm. At that time, it will be difficult to suppress him."

"But in three months, no matter what, he cannot reach the innate realm. No one in the entire continent can do it. Hmph, as long as he is not at the innate realm, he is nothing to me. I will beat him in front of countless Jing family warriors, making him lose his Dao heart. If successful, he may never be able to reach the innate realm in his life." Jing Tianlong’s thoughts were the most sinister.

He was very clear that for a warrior, the Dao heart was extremely important.

Throughout history, how many geniuses have fallen into obscurity due to a weak Dao heart, never to rise again. Such examples are countless.

"I seem to understand." Jing Yuyin’s eyes gleamed.

"Alright, spread the news that in three months, I will face Jingyan in the family competition." Jing Tianlong turned his gaze to the few people behind him.

"Yes!"

"I will spread the news immediately."

Several figures quickly dispersed in all directions.

In Jingyan’s room in the small courtyard.

"Jingyan, are you alright?" Fourth Elder Jing Tianying, upon receiving the news from the guards, immediately rushed over. Seeing Jingyan safe and sound, he finally relaxed.

"Nothing! But in three months, I have to face Jing Tianlong in a battle." Jingyan smiled.

"What? You and Jing Tianlong?"

Hearing this news, Jing Tianying was greatly shocked.

What kind of person is Jing Tianlong?

Moreover, there is only three months. If it were three years, Jing Tianying might think there was a chance. But three months, what can be done?

Jingyan is now at the sixth level of the Martial Path. In three months, reaching the seventh or eighth level would be a miracle. But how can he face Jing Tianlong at this level?

"Fourth Elder, I cannot refuse the challenge." Jingyan sighed lightly, "But Jing Tianlong won’t find it so easy to use me as a stepping stone!"

"This..." Jing Tianying’s white brows almost knitted together. He looked at Jingyan for a long time before sighing, "I won’t waste your time. Jingyan, I will discuss this matter with the clan leader."

Jing Tianying turned and left.

Now, Jingyan was alone in the room.

"Three months... the pressure is immense!"

Jingyan took out a soul crystal and said, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Jing Tianlong, you will regret giving me three months. In three months, we will meet again!" A smile appeared on Jingyan’s lips, and his entire body’s essence energy surged.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, and the First Divine Technique of the Vast Sky began to circulate.

The energy contained in the soul crystal immediately surged into Jingyan’s body like a flood breaking through a dam.

The power of the soul crystal was terrifying!

Not to mention Jingyan, who was at the sixth level of the Martial Path, even innate realm warriors would consider using soul crystals for cultivation a luxury. Even this soul crystal was just a low-grade one.

One day later!

"This barrier is the last obstacle."

Jingyan felt the barrier within his body. He knew this was the final step to reaching the seventh level of the Martial Path.

As long as he could break through this barrier, he would be at the seventh level of the Martial Path.

Under the control of the First Divine Technique of the Vast Sky, Jingyan absorbed the power of the soul crystal. This terrifying power was partly converted into Jingyan’s essence energy, and partly used to fiercely impact the barrier between the sixth and seventh levels of the Martial Path.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each impact made the seemingly unbreakable barrier begin to loosen under the force.

Jingyan’s entire mind was intensely focused. At this moment, he dared not relax or be complacent. If the impact failed, not only would a large amount of soul crystal energy be wasted, but it would also waste a lot of time.

Because, if the impact failed, Jingyan would need a lot of time to recover his energy for a second attempt. This recovery time would not be enough in three months.

Therefore, Jingyan could only succeed, not fail. For him, time was the most precious.

"It’s almost done!" Jingyan’s thoughts conveyed this message.

"Hmm?"

"Damn, this is bad!" Jingyan’s brows furrowed. He suddenly sensed a burning pain in his martial meridians.

The power of the soul crystal was too fierce, and he had absorbed too much of it in a short time.

If it weren’t for the strength of the First Divine Technique of the Vast Sky, Jingyan would have exploded long ago. Even innate realm warriors might not dare to absorb soul crystal energy like this.

"Damn... the power of the soul crystal is too fierce." Jingyan did his best to control the power that seemed to want to break through his martial meridians.

The First Divine Technique of the Vast Sky was almost running at the limit of what Jingyan could activate. His mastery of the First Divine Technique of the Vast Sky was still superficial and shallow!

"Ahh!" Blood surged to Jingyan’s face, and it seemed as if his entire face was about to bleed. His body was also trembling slightly. The pain of his martial meridians being torn apart was unbearable for ordinary people.

If someone were nearby at this moment, they would certainly be frightened by Jingyan’s expression.

Around Jingyan’s body, terrifying essence energy formed layers of ripples. These ripples could easily crush rocks. The bed beneath Jingyan, where the ripples covered, silently turned to dust.

This scene was too terrifying!
