The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan actually had no idea that Xiang Li and the Trial Spirit Anyang Xiayou were now the best of friends and that a part of Anyang Xiayou was already in Ji Yuan's newly obtained immortal-step divine sword.

Once the trial ended, Anyang Xiayou would transfer herself into the immortal divine sword completely.

Xiang Li had said to Anyang Xiayou, "Stay hidden! Don't let my Big Brother knows!"

Anyang Xiayou asked curiously, "Since I am going to follow him in the future, why shouldn't I let him know him?"

Xiang Li answered her solemnly, "My Big Brother is a lecherous cultivator. You don't want his eyes upon you. I will protect you from him."

8 days later, Ji Yuan had now obtained his 9th wing and today he was competing for his 10th wing to clear the trial.

Between Ji Yuan's 7th to 9th wings, he had actually received no resources from his opponents who had all surrendered at the first instance; they were all paupers.

He was frowning, "How come my opponents are all paupers? This must be rigged by the trial spirit! Curse the trial spirit!"

Xiang Li immediately said to Anyang Xiayou, "Did you hear that? My Big Brother wants a rich opponent. Give him the richest opponent!"

If Ji Yuan could hear Xiang Li, he would have fainted immediately.

The 10th wing was the most difficult because all the cultivators at this point were the strongest.

There were also many other cultivators that were purposely waiting at the 8th wing level, refusing to participate at the higher levels in the hope that their stronger opponents would eliminate each other or to receive injuries that would give them a clear advantage.

At the same time the cultivators at the higher levels were not simpletons and they seemed to notice that Ji Yuan was purposely fighting every two days and so were some of their own faction cultivators as well.

But they had a terrible headache deciding which days to pick.

If they pick the days that Ji Yuan was at, they had to fight Bai Qianfeng and her nasty seventh rank desolate profound dragon.

The trial spirit was now announcing;

"44,444 vs. 11111."

44,444 was naturally Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was cursing his luck when he saw that his opponent was the Verdant Black Spear Cultivator Lin Antian, one of the strongest cultivators that were around.

Lin Antian was undefeated and he was also fighting for his 10th wing like Ji Yuan.

Lin Antian pointed his black spear at Ji Yuan and everyone could see a black halo around his celestial-step black spear.

This Lin Antian was also a peaked great saint and the strikes of his profound arts were extremely stunning.

"Ji Yuan, you're a worthy opponent. I've longed to fight with you because you're one of the best here." Lin Antian said solemnly.

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't really want to fight you as an opponent because you're a dangerous opponent."

Based on Ji Yuan's observation, he knew that this Lin Antian may have several hidden profound arts that he had not revealed yet.

The two of them exchanged greetings with each other while the rest of speculators were all inhaling quietly at Ji Yuan and Lin Antian.

For this fight, there were no other combatants.

There were only a few dozen cultivators as the lower wings cultivators were not allowed to view a higher level fight.

But Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing were among the speculators.

Lin Antian had suddenly mustered his profound aura and it was burning brilliantly.

Ji Yuan broke into cold sweat upon seeing the formidable aura that was displayed in front of him but he was unwilling to belittle by his opponent so he had also displayed his sword spirit and the double halo of his saintly divine sword.

All the cultivators could tell that the profound powers that were being displayed by the two cultivators had reached an astonishing level that was beyond what most peaked great saints could muster.

Lin Antian gave a great shout as he initiated the first attack as a black wave of light exploded from his spear attack.

Ji Yuan had also unleashed his Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon to meet the wave of dark light.

When the two waves of profound energies collided, a thunderous impact exploded over the battle arena.

But Ji Yuan and Lin Antian were already exchanging their attack strokes as their sword and spear collided with astonishing speed, flashing lights and shadows throughout the battle arena.

That was not all; even Ji Yuan and Lin Antian were moving at astonishing speed and they were like two globes of light that were racing across the battle arena!

Ji Yuan was surprised that Lin Antian could catch up with his speed and matched the profound power of his saintly divine sword when he suddenly saw that Lin Antian had also displayed his sword spirit, much to his astonishment and everyone else.

He muttered, "He has a sword spirit as well?"

The entire vicinity was exploding with Ji Yuan's devastating sword energies and Lin Antian's profound energies.

All of a sudden Lin Antian had found a short respite when Ji Yuan was diverting his attention to neutralize the profound energies that were upon him with his sword energies; therefore he had suddenly raised his black spear high up as a gigantic orb had suddenly formed from above.

"Ten Thousands Demonic Giga Orb!"

This was Lin Antian's super profound art!

Ji Yuan gasped as he quickly stepped back in a hurry before he raised his saintly divine sword in a forward gesture to charge his profound energies into his ultimate sword art; the Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon.

Lin Antian was smiling, "So you've finally decided to reveal your trump card now."

Ji Yuan was also smiling, "What is the fun of using my trump card so early? But you definitely deserve to witness my trump card."

Lin Antian smirked, "Don't say that I didn't warn you first. My Ten Thousands Demonic Giga Orb is able to gobble up profound energies. It is formed by my life essences. You're not the only one that can use your life essences to use a supreme profound art."

He was warning Ji Yuan indirectly that he had a weak profound defense to guard against his Ten Thousands Demonic Giga Orb once his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Light had failed to neutralize the incoming attack.

Ji Yuan frowned, "Thanks for the warning."

After saying that, he had immediately unleashed his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Light as a devastating beam of coiling light had fired from his saintly divine sword toward the Ten Thousands Demonic Giga Orb that was hovering rapidly like a black hole.

All the speculators were gasping because they could feel the strong suppression that was in the vicinity and they knew that these two cultivators were fighting with everything that they had got.

There was a brilliant flash of light and explosive burst of profound energies when the two profound arts collided together.

Three blinks of an eye later, the shadow form of Ji Yuan was overwhelmed by the Ten Thousands Demonic Giga Orb and he was sent flying away with a crashing impact onto the ground!

As for Lin Antian, he was panting heavily but he was otherwise unharmed.

Actually the two of them were more or less equal in their profound powers. To say the least, Ji Yuan actually had the stronger profound power but half of his profound art was being neutralized by his opponent's profound art.

But because Ji Yuan was way weaker in his profound defenses, eventually he had lost his balance and was flung away, sustaining several impact damage along the way.

As Ji Yuan struggle to stand up, he was cursing almost incoherent. "This floor hits me harder than anything…"

Lin Antian stared at Ji Yuan, perplexed that he had survived his profound attack.

Actually Ji Yuan still had a secret trump card under his sleeve and he could use the Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon for a second successive time. Also he had not imbued his life force energies into his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon yet.

But since he did not want to kill an opponent that had stayed his hand from killing his other opponents, he decided to concede the match instead.

"Well, I con…"

But all of a sudden the trial spirit had announced. "Time up! The fight is a draw!"

Everyone: ???

Only half the time had passed and why did it time up so quickly?!

Xiang Li had of course known that Ji Yuan was about to surrender so she quickly said to Anyang Xiayou, "Do something about this. Don't make my Big Brother lose or you are out of our blissful picture."

Anyang Xiayou: …

"I don't help the cultivators to cheat…"

Xiang Li had said righteously, "My Big Brother didn't want to use his trump card because he isn't fond of too much killing and he will concede because he got nothing to lose. So you've better do something about this. It is all your fault for choosing such a difficult opponent for my Big Brother!"

Anyang Xiayou muttered a soft reply, "I've heard someone mention that she wants her Big Brother to fight a rich cultivator…"
