C418 The Path of Thorns
Yaen Chixiao was also a hero of his generation when he heard this. Naturally, he nodded his head and agreed without any intention of staying together. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is good. It's even fairer!"
"Mr. Shen, we can be considered old acquaintances. There's no need to fight to the death. In my opinion, we should stop at the tip of the iceberg."
"Therefore, we don't need to use magic tools. It's good for both of us."
"In a duel, whoever gets the first blood will lose the duel. I wonder if Mr. Shen has any objections to such a rule?"
Yaen Chixiao smiled faintly. Apart from being afraid of Lin Xuan, he didn't really care about the likes of Shen Qingfeng.
After all, Yaen Chixiao was three minor realms ahead of Shen Qingfeng, and both of them were geniuses of the same level. Such a gap was almost insurmountable. It was really difficult to defeat Yaen Chixiao.
Not everyone had Lin Xuan's invincible combat strength. Although Shen Qingfeng's talent could be considered peerless, he still couldn't be compared to Lin Xuan!
"Alright!"
Such a rule was indeed fair. It would not hurt one's origin energy if he did not point it out. Shen Qingfeng nodded his head silently and spoke calmly.
In the martial arena established by the academy, the battle between the two had attracted many disciples of the academy to come and watch the battle.
However, most of them didn't have high hopes for Shen Qingfeng. After all, his cultivation was still shallow, so he was naturally at a disadvantage.
"How dare Shen Qingfeng challenge Yaen Chixiao?! Hehe, I'm afraid he's going to be slapped in the face by the speed of light!"
"There's a difference of three small realms. Does he think that he and Lin Xuan can be compared with each other when they're both from the Weeping Blood Sect? Can't they fight a cross-ranking battle?"
"Don't say that. There is a limit to the quota. It is understandable that Shen Qingfeng wants to fight for it."
"Hehe, that's true. He is more like a man than those people who talk nonsense. He only dares to shout under the stage!"
Amidst all sorts of questions, the battle between the two of them instantly erupted. Even if they didn't utilize Magic Treasures or weapons, merely a battle between Dao Arts and fleshly bodies, their imposing auras still surged with an imposing aura that shook the sky!
The aftershocks of the great battle caused the space to become unstable, and the cracks continued to extend and repair themselves automatically...
It was different from what everyone expected. Shen Qingfeng, who originally thought that he would be defeated at the speed of light, displayed an indescribable tenacity and perseverance. Although he was at a disadvantage after a thousand rounds of battle, Yaen Chixiao was also unable to suppress him!
Almost everyone knew what this meant.
In a cross-ranking battle, they could still fight back and forth. If they fought at the same level, Shen Qingfeng might be able to defeat Yaen Chixiao!
In the end, this battle ended in three thousand rounds. Shen Qingfeng still suffered a loss due to his low cultivation level. His divine strength was exhausted, and it was difficult for him to continue fighting. Yaen Chixiao seized the opportunity and injured him. Sparkling blood flowed out of his mouth.
Regardless of whether his innate talent was greater than Yaen Chixiao's, according to the previous rules, he had lost.
This meant that he had lost the chance to step onto the Sovereign Path.
No matter what the reason was, losing meant losing. Even though Shen Qingfeng was somewhat unwilling, he still didn't say anything.
He grinned, and his mouth was full of blood. He looked very terrifying.
"I have lost, but I won't give up. I will definitely give it a try in front of the Sovereign Road!"
The meaning behind his words... Although many disciples were confused, Lin Xuan and the others understood what Shen Qingfeng meant.
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan sighed. He suddenly stood up and came to Shen Qingfeng's side, patting his shoulder.
He had already expected such an outcome, and was prepared for it.
"Let me go. Hehe, it's not easy to get a spot in that way. I'm stronger than you, and my chances are higher... "
Lin Xuan's eyes were gentle. The change in his relationship with Shen Qingfeng was recalled in his mind. It was like yesterday.
He was a nostalgic person. Speaking of which, after coming to this world, he only had a few true friends.
"What?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingfeng did not seem to react and asked doubtfully.
"I gave you my spot!"
Hua!
Lin Xuan's words shocked many people.
"What is Lin Xuan trying to do? This Sovereign Road is so rare, but he actually gave it to someone else?"
"Does he not want to step onto the Sovereign Road anymore?"
"Hehe, could it be that he's afraid?"
However, these words were berated by Shi Potian and the others.
"What do you all know? Lin Xuan has chosen another way to step onto the Sovereign Path..."
"Attack the Sovereign Path!"
"Such boldness, he is indeed worthy of his name. Only Lin Xuan can do it..."
Even the Eighth Prince nodded his head in approval. His eyes revealed a trace of amazement!
"He has stepped onto the Sovereign Path?"
Many disciples in the academy had just heard of it for the first time. There's some doubt about that, sir. However, when they understood the situation, they also understood Lin Xuan's power.
He gave up his spot and chose another path that was bound to be filled with thorns.
He could have easily stepped onto the Sovereign Path. But now, if he were to take the wrong path, it was very likely that he would lose his life!
"Which one of those who are able to step onto the Sovereign Path is an ordinary person? They are all outstanding figures from various great Majestic Empires, and there is even no lack of disciples from top sects, geniuses from various great inheritances... "
"Lin Xuan has chosen this path. I wonder how many battles he will have to fight in order to gain the favor of the guardian and enforcer of the Sovereign Path..."
"This is a dead end!"
"He didn't have to do this..."
"I didn't expect him to be so loyal. We underestimated him before."
Lin Xuan's decision caused a huge uproar in the academy. Many people were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths!
Throughout the history of the academy, no one had ever given up their own quota to someone else, and instead chose to walk a thorny path!
This was too sensational!
Many people secretly ridiculed Lin Xuan behind his back. There were some who said he was stupid, but there were also many who said he was stupid.
However, Lin Xuan didn't really care.
All the rumors and rumors were like smoke in the past to him. He did not care about them at all.
"Lin Xuan, you really don't have to do this for me..."2
For the past few days, Shen Qingfeng kept persuading Lin Xuan to return the token to him.
However, Lin Xuan never accepted it.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans. With my combat strength, you shouldn't be so unconfident in me..."
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"Lin Xuan, this is different. In the academy, the opponent you are facing is weaker than you. Those who are able to step onto the Sovereign Path are the true heroes. They are all extremely difficult to deal with..."
"Since ancient times, many people have chosen this path, but do you know that most of them have fallen in front of the Sovereign Path, and it is difficult to create miracles..."
"There aren't many outstanding individuals who can truly enter the emperor path!"
Shen Qingfeng's expression was somewhat anxious. Tomorrow was the day of their departure. He felt that he couldn't convince Lin Xuan. No matter how he explained the pros and cons, he was still very calm.
"Alright, Qingfeng, there's no need to say anything more. I'm not only here to help you, I'm also here to sharpen myself. It's a good opportunity for me to see what kind of means this outstanding genius has!"
Lin Xuan shook his head again. He waved his hand, wanting to dispel Shen Qingfeng's thoughts.
