“Who is striking the drum?” Ning Haotian’s eyes were blazing with anger . He glanced over the crowd . The crowd quieted down immediately .

“Junior Human King, Guan Fei . ” Guan Fei answered Ning Haotian, citing his title in a loud voice .
Then people started to gossip immediately, discussing the situation . Judging from the titles, those two were actually on the same level . This would be an interesting fight .
Soon, Tang Shiya walked out . The sadness was already gone from her face, but she was not beaming as she usually would be . “Let’s follow the rules,” she said calmly .
Ning Haotian and Guan Fei were fine with that . The two flew into the air together .
At the same time, a group of people also walked out of the Treasure Pavilion . Surprisingly, they were going to start betting on the fight .
Jiang Chen was astonished . He also realized what kind of rules Tang Shiya was talking about . This woman was as pretty as always, but deep in her eyes there were anger and sorrow . He supposed she had found out about the elimination of the Tangs in the Realm of True Force .
Jiang Chen smiled coldly, not feeling a slight bit of guilt . The grudges between them had not been settled yet .
Before long, Jiang Chen discovered through the betting that Ning Haotian was very popular . Since the end of the Title Battle, the title winners had been a backbone force of the younger generation . Among them, Ning Haotian was especially a leading figure .
A quarrel started before the two who were in the air could start to fight .
“Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen . Why are you always talking about a dead man?”

“Only those who are alive are the real winners . Jiang Chen was the Invincible God of War, but he is dead!”
To Jiang Chen’s surprise, the quarrel was not about the two men in the air, but about him . It turned out someone had mentioned Jiang Chen .
Since Ning Haotian was from the Realm of Nine Heavens too, it was inevitable for people to think of Jiang Chen . In the current Three Middle Realms, many people still regarded Jiang Chen as their example, talking about his achievements everywhere . However, they did not realize that sometimes they went too far . Over time, their speeches caused others’ aversion and doubts .
After all, this was already an era of Star Venerables . Some people claimed Jiang Chen would have been defeated if he were still alive, since he would not have been able to break the curse of the divine body . Besides, after being possessed by the demon, his strength was not in a normal status . For this reason, he could not be evaluated by normal standards .
Certainly, Jiang Chen also had many supporters .
“If Jiang Chen hadn’t killed so many people in the Title Battle, there would have been seven or eight leading figures, and all of them would be stronger than Ning Haotian . ”
This was the common comment used to attack Ning Haotian’s current achievements . Jiang Chen was regarded as the person who had opened the way for him . That was how he had managed to be where he was now .
Ning Haotian’s supporters were certainly unhappy with such views . According to them, the progress Ning Haotian had made after the Title Battle was huge . Even if those Spiritual Sons and Spiritual Ladies were still alive, they would not be a rival for him .
“It has started again . ” Jiang Chen heard someone beside him say in a helpless tone . “Ning Haotian’s supporters and Jiang Chen’s supporters quarrel with each other every time . ”
“Unfortunately, Jiang Chen is already dead . It doesn’t make any sense for them to quarrel this way . ”

“Ning Haotian’s supporters insist Jiang Chen could not break the curse, and he was useless . Jiang Chen’s supporters insist that if he were alive, he would absolutely be able to break the curse and win out over the world . ”
People who had nothing to do with them stood at a distance, watching them quarreling . In the air, the fight between Ning Haotian and Guan Fei had started .
“Eh?” The strength Ning Haotian showed was beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations . He was absolutely at an advantage . However, Guan Fei, titled Junior Human King, was not bad either .
Seeing himself being pushed into a desperate situation, he exerted an invincible power to turn the tide . Holding an iron stick in his hand, he brought drastic changes to the world, as if he had got a body of steel .
Ning Haotian was pretty surprised . His spear methods, as natural and smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, were restricted in every sense . Whenever the stick was struck, the darksteel spear would bend to some extent .
The people down there stopped quarreling . They were all nervous . Both Ning Haotian’s supporters and Jiang Chen’s supporters were holding their breaths, watching .
“Doctrine Method!”
Some people soon discovered how Junior Human King had made the change . It was the Doctrine Method corresponding to Xuan Kong Qi that he had exerted . Even Ning Haotian, who had the blood of dragon and roc, was totally at a disadvantage .
No wonder he had the nerve to strike the drum . That was the thought on many people’s minds .
Since Ning Haotian had gained fame, average people would not have the nerve to challenge him . Jiang Chen assumed this Guan Fei must have just mastered the Doctrine Method . He involuntarily was piqued with interest . Ning Haotian had not exerted his true strength yet in the fight, so Jiang Chen could not see how strong he was .

However, by then, facing Guan Fei exerting a Doctrine Method, he could not hold back anymore . Soon, Ning Haotian seemed to start to accumulate forces . Visions arose around him . A dragon and a roc rose behind him . He lost the grasp of the darksteel spear . The Natural Law War Case showed up .
However, Guan Fei went mad . His iron stick was being wildly brandished . When one stick was thrown, thousands of stick shadows appeared and overlapped .
The Natural Law War Case was sent flying .
“You asked for this!” Ning Haotian was not in a good mood this day . This stick attack drove him crazy . His body boomed and rivers and seas were overturned . The world changed again drastically . Soon, he created heaven thunders and hell fire by himself . The whistling wind sounded like whining . He was illuminated by a golden light, which soon changed into a golden armor that he put on .
“Divine Heaven Soldier!”
“The Martial Arts Divine School’s best inheritance! We’ve finally seen it!”
While the change was happening, Guan Fei’s stick came again . Ning Haotian did not parry, letting the iron stick hit his shoulder . The stick was strong enough to smash a mountain . The sound generated by it made people cover their mouths with their hands spontaneously .
However, Ning Haotian was totally fine . He barely moved . Holding the iron stick in one hand, he punched with the other hand . When the punch reached Guan Fei, his Doctrine Method status disappeared immediately . He screamed in pain . This was not enough . Ning Haotian dashed over with his iron stick to give him some more hard strikes . After this, his Divine Heaven Soldier image also disappeared .
Heavily injured, Guan Fei could not continue the fight . People who had come with him caught him in the air and took him back to the ground .
“Neither swords nor spears can hurt Divine Heaven Soldier . Divine Heaven Soldier has infinite strength . Struck by thunder or burned by fire, he just won’t be hurt . ”
“That’s not something commonly seen . In fact, this Guan Fei wasn’t bad . ”
“This isn’t even a Doctrine Method . If Ning Haotian masters a Doctrine Method, he will be invincible . ”
Ning Haotian’s supporters shouted emotionally .
Divine Heaven Soldier was a great power Ning Haotian exerted to resist strong rivals in the era of Star Venerables in the Three Middle Realms . Numerous people had been amazed by him . They had thought it was a wonderful Doctrine Method . Not until later did they learn that it was an inheritance that belonged to the Martial Arts Divine School . Only people like him, who had a body of dragon and roc, could inherit it . Ning Haotian would normally defeat his enemy in five seconds after exerting the Divine Heaven Soldier .
Jiang Chen’s supporters were not so confident any more . They were shaking their heads and sighing .
“Guys, I’ll be busy for a while . The challenges by striking the drum will be cancelled for some time . If anyone wants to fight with me, please come ahead now . ” Ning Haotian said to the whole city, standing in the air .
He could not stay calm anymore after learning Jiang Chen was still alive . He had to make good preparations for that .
People in the city looked at each other . After witnessing how strong the Divine Heaven Soldier was, who would have the nerve to challenge him now?
“You are strong indeed, but unfortunately, you will die today . ”
Jiang Chen walked toward the drum .
