Chapter 197. Xuan Yi Avoiding Battle? Exaggerated strength?
After the disciples left, half a month later, the River Region was crowded with people, and the banks of the Chijiang River on the edge of the Chijiang Mountains were almost full.
Almost all the Saint Regionâs Southern Sky Provincesâ major powers and some from among the top ten Regions sent people over.
This scene attracted the attention of all forces in the Southern Continent!
Swish!
A figure appeared on his sword, zoomed through the air, and fell heavily on Chijiang Mountain. When it landed, the entire Chijiang Mountain trembled, and then a domineering Sword Intent rushed into the sky, stirring the Heavens and Earth.
The Martial arts lunatic, Mad Sword!
With a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, his surging aura set off a strong wind, as his hair danced wildly, unscrupulously releasing the terrifying power of an Early Human King.
Mad Sword announced his entry to everyone.
âXuan Yi, letâs fight quickly!â
Boom!
His voice was mixed with spirit power, and the wave of air that was set off suddenly spread across the area, shook the wind itself, making everyone cover their ears, as their eyes were filled with shock.
Mad Sword, who was removed from the Origin King List, was already so powerful. What kind of power would the other strong cultivators on the Origin King List possibly have?
How strong should Xuan Yi be, who was the first ranker on the Origin King List?
Everyone looked at the towering Chijiang Mountain platform, with anticipation in their eyes.
Mad Sword is here, so where is Xuan Yi?
Everyone looked forward to it. From morning to noon, their passion faded slightly.
From noon to night, everyone was agitated and whispered to each other, doubts arose in their hearts.
From night to morning until the next morning, Mad Sword was alone on Chijiang Mountain.
Xuan Yi didnât comeâ¦
Everyone waited for a day and night but didnât see Xuan Yiâs shadow at all.
âHuh!â
The next day, Mad Sword gave a cold snort, his face was very ugly.
He made an appointment to fight Xuan Yi in front of everyone, and stood on the high Chijiang Mountain in front of everyone, facing the cold wind of the river day and night.
âAs timid as a mouse, disappointingâ¦â
Mad Sword shook his head slightly, his eyes lighted contemptuously, and finally, he glanced at Chijiang Mountain, his figure flickering.
He disappeared.
He seemed disdainful.
The news that Xuan Yi did not come to accept his challenge also spread throughout the Southern Continent.
This time, it really caused an uproar!
Almost everyone began to question, is it true that the position of the number one on the Origin King List, Xuan Yi was not true to his name? Was his strength exaggerated?
If not, why didnât he dare to accept the challenge?
The voice of doubt reached Middle Saint Academy!
A former ranker on the Origin King List challenged the current leader of the Origin King List to a one-on-one battle. However, Xuan Yi did not come at all on the day of the match.
Mad Sword waited on the Chijiang Mountain for a day and night, facing the cold winds for so long.
As a cultivator in the Origin King Realm as well, in the eyes of everyone, even if Xuan Yi was ranked first In the Origin King List, he shouldnât despise Mad Sword so much.
This was almost no less than a slap in the face.
Whatâs more, Xuan Yiâs identity as the first ranker was not necessarily realâ¦
After all, he had not publicly defeated any strong Kings, and almost all of the ten previous Origin Kings had the record of challenging multiple other Kings!
Someone analyzed that either, Xuan Yi simply looked down on Mad Sword and didnât bother to pay attention to him. Or, Xuan Yiâs strength was at fault.
.
Xuan Yi was an Instructor of the Middle Saint Academy, and Middle Saint Academy was one of the famous Academies in the Southern Continent, ranking in the top five. If one really thought about it, Xuan Yi was a celebrity, and some information couldnât be hidden.
Therefore, under the deliberate investigation of everyone, Xuan Yiâs strength half a year ago was revealed to be in the mid-Stage of the Origin King Realm.
More than half a year ago, Xuan Yiâs cultivation was in the mid-stage of the Origin King Realm, while in the East Peace Region, Xuan Yiâs realm was also in the mid-Stage Origin King Realm.
However, which one of the Origin Kings on the Origin King List was not at the peak of the Origin King Realm?
âCan a cultivator in the mid-Stage Origin King Realm really possess the power of an Early Human King?â
Someone couldnât help but raise questions.
As Xuan Yi didnât go to the River Region to fight, the doubts became louder and louder, and even some people who supported Xuan Yi for the face of Nanming Palace began to waver.
A powerful man in the Origin King Realm in his twenties was already an extremely talented existence.
However, was it really possible that this cultivator in the mid-Stage of the Origin King Realm could actually erupt with the battle power of an Early Stage Human King cultivator?
For tens of thousands of years in the Southern Continent, no one had ever seen such a monster.
It was hard for everyone not to question it. What was more was that Xuan Yi didnât participate in the battle at all, and there was no evidence to say anything about his strength. Facing doubt, he didnât even explain it at all.
In the eyes of everyone, this was the typical behavior of someone with a guilty conscience.
âFirst Ranker on the Origin King List is too much!â
âHave you heard that Xuan Yi, the Number one on the Origin King List, has plenty of strength!â
As the saying goes, the three of them become tigers.
Various forces and news merchants were also happy to make things big, so before Mad Sword left, the image of âcowardly like a mouseâ that he said was quickly spread throughout the Southern Continent.
âA true martial artist should not be afraid of challenges, how can he be timid?â
âThat means there is a problem with Xuan Yiâs strength!â
âShrinking his head tortoise, how can such a person be qualified to be on the Origin King List?!â
âWe strongly demand that Xuan Yi be removed from the Origin King List!â
Everyone appealed, if it werenât for the reputation of the Middle Saint Academy, they even wanted to form a team to enter Middle Saint Academy and question Xuan Yi face to face.
In the face of these doubts, Xuan Yi didnât pay attention to it at all, and cultivated with peace of mind, looking for an opportunity to break through the Human King Realm.
âXuan Yi, do you want to stand up and explain?â
At this time, Sun Jing, the Deputy Dean of Middle Saint Academy ran to Xuan Yi, trying to persuade him to go out and explain the matter.
Xuan Yi was Listed on the Origin King List, and he was named as an Instructor of the Middle Saint Academy. If everyone thought that Xuan Yiâs strength was false, even the name of the Middle Saint Academy would be sullied.
âI donât want to go!â
Xuan Yiâs expression was indifferent, he was preparing to break through to the Human King Realm. How could he have time to bother about this?
So what if he wins, so what if he loses?
If he really cared about everything, then how would he focus on cultivation?
Sun Jing was very embarrassed. As the King who had fought against Xuan Yi, he knew that Xuan Yi was far stronger than the news spread by the outside world.
The Early Stage of the Human King Realm?
Maybe before his travels that would have been true.
With his strength now, he didnât bother to pay attention to these people. However, recently, a wave or two of people gathered at the gate of the Middle Saint Academy. Although the number was not large, Sun Jing was the Deputy Dean of the Middle Saint Academy. Judging from years of experience, these people must be up to something.
âIt was fine to not respond to their rumors the way you have, but recently someone was hovering at the entrance of the Academy. I guess that the whole thing was driven by someone else. I think it is not over yetâ¦â
Xuan Yi shook his head slightly, his eyes displaying his indifference.
Sun Jing was actually right. Since ancient times, fame and fortune had been linked to interests. Xuan Yi suddenly became the first ranker on the Origin King List. Who knew how many peopleâs interests had faced danger. It was certain that someone had contributed to the gathering outside of the Academy.
But what does the whole thing have to do with him?
The Origin King List?
Why should he care?Human
