Taking a deep breath, Wang Manyun attempted to make another move. However, Lin Xiao put an end to the duel right away. Now that the modified Refining Divine Pithy Formula proved effective, there was no need to carry the duel forward. And it was already laudable that Wang Manyun could make it this far on the premise of considerable deficiency in martial cultivation and techniques. Otherwise, she might end up seriously injured if she had proceeded with the duel.
Lin Xiao praised Wang Manyun, "You already did an amazing job. You know he is superior in his martial capacity and techniques to you. There's no need to waste your time and energy on the duel anymore."
Zou Qiang flew off the handle on hearing that, "I'm gonna kill you!"
"Really? I happen to have the same idea!" Lin Xiao accepted his challenge forthwith, throwing shade at Zou Qiang. The latter's curse stayed in his mind, waiting for the right time to engage a fight. "In my life, there are only two types of people — friends and enemies. If you're my friend, I'll reciprocate in a cordial manner like a spring breeze. If you're an adversary, you will feel as if you were in an icy cave when you're around me." Lin Xiao nurtured this idea when he was an enthusiast of martial fictions. He always wished he could have become a real hero. Now his dream was going to come true. "What a fantastic world. I think I already fall for it." Lin Xiao began to enjoy his stay on the Meteorite Continent now.
"You? You wanna kill me?" Zou Qiang held suspicions about Lin Xiao's capabilities. "This maniac is even inferior to the hot chic. Now he even has the impudence to raise a challenge of his own volition. Does he consider himself unrivaled just by virtue of the sneak attack he made in the bush?"
"Li Taixuan. I'm gonna put him down, regardless of whatever his background is. And you'll have to escort me down the mountain yourself!" Zou Qiang got carried away with his imaginary victory.
Li Taixuan pulled a long face. It was terribly outrageous — a regular domestic disciple should ride the high horse and throw his weight about to such an unbearable amount.
However, Lin Xiao beat Li Taixuan to it with his swift response. He accepted the challenge without hesitation.
The malicious Zou Qiang came up with a vicious plan. He wanted to rope in Li Taixuan as well. In so doing, Li Taixuan would make a sacrifice accordingly. "Since it's a bloody vital duel. You'll have pledged your compliance with the conditions with your blood. Otherwise, I'll back out. I don't trust you guys.
