Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 149

Mu Wan's soft words surprised Yan Chutian. After a few breaths, he smiled helplessly, his face filled with understanding. That's right, the performance of him and Qiu Yu was indeed outstanding, but in the eyes of some people, they might not be considered a leading Holy Son, either, because it was still uncertain whether they would meet Xu Jian and the other Holy Sons.

Even so, Yan Chutian still maintained his previous attitude. No matter who it was, they would not be able to stop it.

He should return to the Heaven Realm as soon as possible.

The stairs to Heaven may be the fastest or even the only way. He can't miss it.

As he thought about it, the first round of the fight continued. Luo Xue, Loring and the others took to the stage one by one. All that was worth mentioning was that facing Luo Xue, who was known as the best disciple in the entire Southern Region, his opponent, who was only at the first level, did not dare to accept the challenge. He smiled bitterly and gave up.

However, no one laughed at him for giving up. After all, the distance between him and Luo Xue was simply too great. Even if he insisted on fighting, the end result would be a crushing defeat. He only asks for humiliation.

Seeing his opponent give up, Luo Xue's face was still ice-cold. He has no emotions. Speaking of which, he was exactly the same as Luo Qingyi. The latter also had a cold expression. His body seemed to be surrounded by a cold aura.

Loring was also Luo Qingyi's disciple. However, he was not cold. Every frown and his smile was filled with youthful vitality. Moreover, as she had grown up, the unique charm of a young girl became even more apparent. Although she was not as good as Luo Xue, she had secretly attracted the attention of many disciples.

As she grew bigger, she would probably become a demonic beauty. However, due to his unique situation, no one knew when he would grow up again.

"What do you see?"

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in Yan Chutian's ears. Even Yan Chutian did not react in time and was almost shocked. Mu Wan seemed to sense something from Yan Chutian's great reaction. Her beautiful eyes followed the direction she saw and gradually locked onto a beautiful and delicate body not far from there.

"Tsk tsk. It's just that his eyes don't even move."

Mu Wan's thin smile made Yan Chutian instinctively sense danger, so he did not dare to refute. He could only smile awkwardly and look the other way, thinking about how to change the subject.

But little did he know that all of his reactions had been noticed by Mu Wan, so he couldn't help but slightly frown and snort softly in his heart, then he fell silent.

By midday, the first round was finally over. After the first round, half of the Holy Son had been eliminated, and no more than 50 or 60 were left.

These 50 to 60 people still had to go through the second, third, and even fourth rounds of the arena before the 10 best Holy Sons could be determined. These 10 leading Holy Sons would represent the southern region and participate in the Opportunity Heaven competition with the 10 leading Saints from the northern region.

"Dong…!"

The sound of the ancient bell rang again, and that meant the second round of elections had begun. All the Holy Sons who participated in the second round of voting drew new numbers. This time, Yan Chutian's number was very close to the back, and he was already at number 29.

29, which means his arena match is very close to the end, and he is very close to the end.

Mu Wan, Loring, and the other numbers were clearly very close to the front this time around. They immediately rushed out from the middle of the square and towards the arena that matched their numbers.

There was no need to look at Luo Xue, Xu Jian, and the others. They were known as the leading Holy Sons, and their victory was almost certain. The matches worth watching were the Loring and Mu Wan matches. The cultivation level of the two women was only at the second level, but their opponents were at the third level of the Elixir Realm.

However, even though the cultivation level was not high, they still fought with their opponent and ended up defeating in a way that shocked everyone. The weak defeated the strong!

When Mu Wan returned, Yan Chutian generously gave the most admirable smile to himself. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you are mighty and domineering!"

Mu Wan was also amused by Yan Chutian's playful demeanor, but she quickly held back her smile when recalling a certain situation not too long ago. However, since he was already laughing, he could not pull it back, so Mu Wan looked awkward. His cheeks were red, and he didn't know what to do.

After a few people, it was finally Yan Chutian's turn. Yan Chutian's appearance attracted a lot of attention. After all, he was already a famous figure in the southern region, and his reputation could be said to be the best under the leading Holy Sons!

Yan Chutian took the stage under the gazes of many people. As he turned his head, he saw a two meter tall dark figure standing on the other side of the stage, like a tower.

The tower was as unshakable as a mountain, as if it was connected to the entire stage and the ground. It was as if no matter what attack landed on it, it would not move an inch.

Like Yan Chutian, this iron tower-like figure also attracted the attention of many people. There was even an elder who averted his gaze and noticed him.

"By the way, isn't Yan Chu the elder's disciple? It's gonna be interesting. This was the first time the disciples of the two elders were competing!"

"That's reality. However, Zhou Xuan had stepped into the third level of the Elixir Realm, which was two levels higher than Yan Chu, who was at the first level of the Elixir Realm. Moreover, Senior Brother Zhou Xuan has condensed spirit runes!"

"What, Senior Brother Zhou Xuan has condensed spirit runes ?!"

Spirit runes were no strangers to any cultivator. In fact, they are very familiar. After stepping into the Elixir Realm, other than forming Elixir in the Dantian, one had to condense spirit runes in the Elixir Realm.

However, condensing spirit runes was extremely difficult. It was normal for some cultivators at the third or fourth level of the Elixir Realm not to condense spirit runes. However, Zhou Xuan was definitely not an ordinary cultivator. He had already condensed spirit runes!

Hence, the cheers of the audience instantly leaned towards Zhou Xuan, as Zhou Xuan had too many advantages. In their opinion, even if Yan Chutian could fight against someone of a higher level, it was impossible for him to overcome such a huge gap.

Therefore, some mocking laughter sounded continuously.

"Heh .. It looks like Yan Chu's luck will be coming to an end soon. He had no chance of winning against Zhou Xuan!"

"Yan Chu had just entered the Elixir Realm. I'm afraid he doesn't even know what spirit runes are. How could he compete with Zhou Xuan?"

"To be able to reach this step should be the limit. He had to stop before he went too far. Otherwise, if he were lucky and became the top Holy Son in the Southern Region, it would be an accident in the Southern Region."

"…"

With the Spiritual Energy Light Screen, Yan Chutian was unable to hear what was happening outside. However, this did not prevent him from knowing what kind of commotion was going on outside. After all, he could see the cultivation of the man in front of him, as well as the faint intent of the spirit runes.

He was afraid that the man in front of him had condensed spirit runes.

"Strong rune spirit …"

Yan Chutian muttered to himself. There was no fear on his face. So what if the other party condensed spirit runes? He ... had condensed two spirit runes!

When Yan Chutian looked at Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan naturally looked back at him. His gaze was gloomy and cold. His expression could not be described as haughty or solemn, but it exuded confidence from within.

This belief meant that whoever stood in front of him, he was confident of being able to defeat them.

"I know you. You are the disciple that elder Han Chen brought back."

Zhou Xuan suddenly said slowly. His face was calm. Hearing this, Yan Chutian also replied calmly. "I know you too. You are a disciple of Elder Tianshan."

"I am not a disciple of Elder Tianshan. I was lucky to be taught by him. However, I will work hard to become his true disciple."

"So, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Xuan's meaning was self-evident. He was determined to win this battle!

If he wanted to snatch victory from his hands, then he did not take it seriously, Yan Chutian.

Hence, Yan Chutian did not directly answer Zhou Xuan. Instead, he moved slightly and took a fighting position.

"Sister Zhou Xuan, please let me know!"

…

On the high platform, Han Chen's eyes were fixed on a certain arena. As he stared, the voice of an old man suddenly sounded in his ears. It was none other than Elder Tianshan.
