The Stage Of Life And Death

Tang Yuxin nodded and said, "Horn, you can start practicing now; your future will be very bright! You will definitely make Song Ruoyan regret it."

However, as she spoke these words, a sense of sadness overcame her. Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy ranked the lowest among all the Immortal Martial Academies in the Xia Kingdom. The Immortal Martial Academy in the imperial capital stood as one of the five renowned schools in the kingdom. Song Ruoyan, being a prominent figure in the imperial capital's Immortal Martial Academy, was undoubtedly a talented individual among the younger generation of the Xia Kingdom. Tang Yuxin, while comforting Horn, couldn't shake the realization that the gap between Horn and Song Ruoyan would only widen in the future.

"Xiao Xinxin, is this your friend?" A woman with short, ear-length hair and delicate facial features approached.

Having overheard the conversation, Wang Menglu, Tang Yuxin's best friend, inquired. Tang Yuxin promptly introduced them, "Horn, this is my best friend, Wang Menglu! She is the president of the alchemy club at Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy and is now an official Alchemist!"

Horn examined the heroic Wang Menglu before him. Tang Yuxin's assertion that her best friend had connections in Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy made sense. As an Alchemist, Wang Menglu likely interacted with various people.

After a few seconds of scrutinizing Horn, Wang Menglu remarked, "Xiao Xinxin, your taste is very bad! There are so many talented people pursuing you at our Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy, but you didn't like any of them. Are you just waiting for him?"

"I can't sense any Qi Refining breath from him. I just heard him say that Song Ruoyan is not worthy of him? Are you still catering to him? People have to recognize reality."

Tang Yuxin appeared anxious, fearing that Wang Menglu might confront Horn. She hurriedly interjected, "Menglu, things are not what you think. Song Ruoyan was Horn's fiancée, so—"

Wang Menglu abruptly interrupted her, saying, "Yuxin, we are not from the same world. We will not be happy if we force ourselves together. The eldest young master of the Qin family, Qin Tiance, has Infinite Purple Eyes. His Cultivation Talent is terrifying, destined to become one of the strongest men in our Xia Kingdom in the future. I met Qin Tiance and Song Ruoyan a year ago, and they can be said to be talented and beautiful!"

"Infinite Purple Eyes?" Horn, at that time, was unaware that his eyes were given to a wealthy young man in the imperial capital by his uncle's family. Now, learning that it was Qin Tiance who possessed the Infinite Purple Eyes, Horn's deep eyes filled with coldness. No one could claim his possessions forever.

Tang Yuxin, unaware of the circumstances surrounding Horn's eyes, felt angry on his behalf. She couldn't understand why those people would behave like thieves, robbing Horn of his unique attributes.

Feeling a surge of frustration, Tang Yuxin had an overwhelming desire to comfort Horn. On the other hand, Wang Menglu voiced a taunt, "Aren't you convinced? More than a year ago, the Song family relocated from Tianhai to the Imperial Capital. With the support of the Qin family, the Song family has become one of the prominent families in the Imperial Capital. For Xiao Xinxin's sake, I can protect you once."

"As long as you stay in Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy, I can guarantee that no one will dare to touch a hair on your head!"

Seeing that Horn didn't speak, she continued: "Song Ruoyan is like the stars in the sky to you, which you can never catch. Do you understand what I mean? If you're a man, you should face reality!"

Horn smiled calmly and said, "Is Song Ruoyan excellent? In my eyes, she can't even compare to one of Yu Xin's toes. Yu Xin will definitely stand taller than her in the future."

Wang Menglu felt that Horn was hopeless. Although she and Tang Yuxin were best friends, she had to admit that Song Ruoyan's talent was far beyond that of Tang Yuxin.

"Horn, why are you, a loser, still alive?"

"Who do I think is talking nonsense? It turns out to be you, trash."

A young man with a cold face came over and looked at Horn with contempt in his eyes.

He is Su Cheng, a genius from a branch of the Su family. A branch of the Tianhai Su family has taken root in Linzhou a long time ago. After Horn was thrown to the side branch, Su Cheng and other younger generations of the side branch often used Horn as a target to practice. Every time Horn was beaten, his nose would be bruised, his face would be swollen, or his bones would be broken. This was a common occurrence.

Su Cheng now has a certain reputation in Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy. The destruction of the Sun family last night made the Su family's subordinates extremely angry. The relationship between the Sun family and the Su family has always been very close. Su Cheng would never have thought that Horn was the person who made the Sun family disappear overnight.

Tang Yuxin frowned slightly: "Su Cheng, please keep your mouth clean. This is the academy, not your Su family."

Su Cheng ignored Tang Yuxin and mocked Horn: "You are quite capable of letting a woman stand up for you! I haven't seen you for two years. Where did you get your eyes? A waste like you is qualified to talk about a proud girl like Song Ruoyan behind her back? Are you jealous? Are you unwilling? Some things are just not yours."

"It was your honor to be able to contribute to Master Qin's cultivation path!"

Horn narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that Su Cheng also knows that his infinite purple pupils were dedicated to Qin Tiance.

Although Wang Menglu doesn't like Horn, she has a good relationship with Tang Yuxin: "Su Cheng, if you want to act wild, get out of here and don't be an eyesore in front of me!"

Su Cheng was quite polite to Wang Menglu: "President Wang, do you want to stand up for Horn?"

"I advise you not to get into trouble!"

"You have only become an Alchemist not long ago, and your connections are limited to Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy."

"There are some people you can't protect."

Finished.

He looked directly at Horn with mocking eyes: "Trash, do you dare to fight me?"

"The kind that doesn't care about life or death!"

He pointed to a huge arena on the right side of the square: "That is the stage of life and death in the academy. Once both combatants step onto it voluntarily, only one person can come down alive."

"Afterwards, the forces behind the dead man must not be held accountable!"

"You were used as a target by me in the past. How many slaps did I slap you in those years?"

"Countless! Don't you want to seek revenge from me? I will give you this opportunity now!"

Tang Yuxin pulled Horn and said, "Don't be fooled."

"His cultivation level is at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. You will not be his opponent!"

Wang Menglu nodded and said: "Horn, Xiao Xinxin is right."

"At some point, you have to learn to bend and stretch."

"Now that you step onto the stage of life and death, you will definitely be beaten to death by Su Cheng!"

"Once you step onto the stage of life and death, no one else can interfere!"

"Don't joke with your own life! Xiao Xinxin cares about you very much."

She simply didn't want Tang Yuxin to be sad, so she started to persuade Horn.
