2877 can we have three more battles? ling han swept his gaze over his son. sure enough, he would never return if not to ask for a favor. he would only remember his father when he had a favor to ask.
âdid they allow you to return to call for reinforcements?â he asked. this was his son, so he would naturally help no matter what.
âwe agreed that we could both invite helpers. however, the helpers canât be above the second tier,â ling jianxue said. âotherwise, what use would it be? after fighting to the death among ourselves, if the third tiers and fourth tiers decide to take the mine for themselves, how can we compete with them?â
ling han was amused, and he said, âso youâre asking me to help? you want me to be that person who speaks up and sends them scrambling?â
!!
ling jianxue shook his head, saying, âsince weâve already reached an agreement, we should play by the rules.â
ling hanâs son was a fairly stubborn and inflexible person. ling han couldnât help but sigh. being stubborn was a shared trait, but where had he learned the trait of being inflexible?
âso be it, since this is my sonâs decision.â
ling han nodded in response. âiâll help you.â
âand aunty xing and aunty hu as well,â ling jianxue hurriedly added. ling han could only participate in a single battle.
ling han pursed his lips, and said, âyour aunty xing has just advanced to the third tier, and your aunty hu has just advanced to the fourth tier. are you trying to break the rules?â
ling jianxue couldnât help but feel disappointed. he was someone who always kept his word.
meanwhile, ling feifan stood there murmuring to himself, saying that this was a world where might was right. yet, his father was so stubborn and inflexible, so how in the world had he given birth to a mischievous son like him? moreover, his grandpa was also full of tricks and extremely toxic toward opponents, yet somehow none of this had passed down to ling jianxue.
ling han clapped his hands, and said, âalright, letâs set off.â
the three of them set off. in ling hanâs eyes, this was only a small matter, so he didnât mind going over and helping out a little.
one month later, they arrived at the foot of a large mountain. they then entered the mountain.
after several more hours, a canyon appeared before them. there were already many people waiting there.
they were mostly all heavenly venerates, and those who werenât were all at the ninth heaven.
this dimension was far too difficult to reach, with the combusting fundamental particles forming a barrier that was extremely challenging for even ninth heaven celestial kings to pass.
drawing someone into a spatial tool to bring them over?
that was also impossible.
the combusting fundamental particles would affect even the space inside a heavenly venerate tool. thus, bringing someone in a spatial tool would be nothing more than a death sentence. seará´h the novelfire.net* website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
indeed, ling han had also left the celestial guest residence in the uppermost space. he had no option but to do this.
thus, those who were here were all at least ninth heaven celestial kings. it was also because of this that the mines in the dimension were opened up a lot slower than the other dimensions. there were only ninth heaven celestial kings to use, and even the heavenly venerates would have to get down and dirty themselves.
however, did heavenly venerates not need to cultivate?
there was a severe shortage of personnel, which resulted in the mine being opened up extremely slowly. otherwise, this was nothing more than a damaged high-level dimension, so the mines should have been cleaned up long ago.
the people in the canyon were very clearly divided into two parties. the atmosphere was tense, and it was as if a huge battle might break out at any moment.
âling jianxue, you were gone for so long, yet you only brought back a single helper?â a solidly built man with messy red hair said.
ling jianxue wore a slightly awkward expression. he had initially wanted to bring hu niu and the empress over as well, yet he hadnât imagined that they would have already advanced beyond the second tier.
âthis is my father, ling han,â he introduced.
the red-haired man clasped his hands, and said, âfriend ling.â the people in his camp all nodded toward ling han in greeting. it was clear that they were all allied with ling jianxue.
âhuh? ling han? this name seems fairly familiar,â someone murmured. however, they didnât immediately recall why.
âsince the final person has arrived, let us begin the competition,â someone from the other side said.
âvery well; let us begin.â
the two sides drew lots to decide who would send out a person first. they would then take turns afterward. after drawing lots, it was their opponents who would send a person first.
after discussing for a while, they sent out a woman in pink who was as beautiful as flowers.
after reaching the heavenly venerable tier, one would be able to transform themself on a fundamental level. being transcendent above the regulations, to say nothing of their appearance, they would even be able to freely change their aptitude. thus, it was almost impossible to come across ugly heavenly venerates. there were only those who were more unique.
âiâm yu lan; whoâs willing to spar with me?â the female heavenly venerate said with a smile.
ling jianxue and the others also discussed it for a while before sending out a person.
their battle lasted three days, yet it was heavenly venerate yu lan who emerged victorious by a whisker.
for the second battle, ling jianxue and the others sent a person out first. however, they suffered another loss.
after six battles, ling jianxueâs side suffered six losses in a row. this caused everyoneâs morale to be extremely low.
perhaps they were going to lose all 10 battles?
for the seventh battle, it was their opponent who sent someone out first. it was an elegant young man.
âgasp! mi wenbai is personally going to battle?â
âdo they want to take this seventh battle in a single breath as well? they want to crush our fighting spirit?â
âbut mi wenbai is already at the peak stage of the second tier. i heard that he more so fused together with the power of seven dimensions while he was at the first tier, so his battle prowess far exceeds that of ordinary elites at the peak stage of the second tier.â
âwe should just send some random person for this battle. we can still fight for victory in the final three matches. weâll strive to obtain three veins of ore.â
the cultivators on ling jianxueâs side all wore apprehensive expressions. their opponents had sent out their strongest member, and, truthfully speaking, not a single one of them could rival him.
they would inevitably lose this battle. however, whom should they send?
as heavenly venerates, all of them cared about their face. thus, who would be willing to step forward to suffer a guaranteed loss? in fact, they might even suffer severe wounds from the battle. that would be a great misfortune.
they all exchanged glances. however, no one stepped forward.
mi wenbai smiled faintly, and said, âno one is going to accept this battle? then iâll consider that a forfeit. iâll stay on for the eighth battle as well.â
how could he do this?
however, who dared to oppose him?
...
ling jianxue glanced at ling han, and said, âfather, itâs time for you to do something.â
ling hanâs mind was elsewhere. he was currently observing the veins of ore here to determine whether there was anything valuable. thus, he didnât hear ling jianxueâs words. only when his son nudged him with his elbow did he come to his senses.
âah, sure thing,â he replied casually. he confidently strode forward.
everyone shook their head, lamenting that ling jianxue was screwing his father over. this battle was a guaranteed loss, and there was even a possibility of suffering severe wounds, yet ling jianxue had actually convinced his father to accept the challenge? just how dodgy was that?
âyouâre not going to forfeit?â mi wenbai asked with a smile.
ling han shrugged, and said, âiâve never had such a habit.â
mi wenbai didnât get angry, and he said, âthen iâm so sorry⦠because youâll develop that habit in the future.â
âheh.â ling han picked at his ears, and said, âare you trying to defeat me by running your mouth?â
mi wenbaiâs smile froze. running his mouth? it was ling han who was running his mouth, okay?! his expression turned cold, and he said calmly, âenraging me will do you no good at all!â
âenough with the nonsense!â ling han said as he strode over. just how quick were heavenly venerates? even though he wasnât going at full speed, he still arrived before mi wenbai in just three steps. he then threw a punch.
âwhat audacityââ
...
peng!
before mi wenbai could even finish speaking, he was already sent flying by ling hanâs punch.
peng, peng, peng!
in a single breath, he crashed through a dozen or so mountains, and only then was his momentum stopped. he sank into a large mountain.
thisâ¦
everyone fell silent, with many gasping in shock. this was simply inconceivable.
that was mi wenbai! yet, he had failed to withstand even a single strike?!
ling han retracted his fist, saying smilingly, âcan i stay for the other three battles?â
