Yang Tian fled out of the Soul Arena entrance like a gust of wind; don't ask why, because he felt guilty after taking advantage.
Inside the most luxurious suite of the Tianshui Grand Hotel, Yang Tian sat cross-legged, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword resting across his lap.
"The application of Sword Control and Tiangang Disha Sword Formation is still too singular." Yang Tian rarely delved into Spirit Abilities of the Brave rank; most of his energy was dedicated to top-tier cultivation methods like the Chaos Divine Grind Contemplation and the True Dragon Precious Technique.
And now, Yang Tian needed to comprehend some sword techniques.
The sword techniques evolved from the Tiangang Disha Sword Formation were enough for Yang Tian to use; at this moment, what Yang Tian needed to do was to thoroughly comprehend them so he could use them at will.
The next evening, the swordsman in white, whiter than snow, appeared again in the Soul Arena.
The crowd in the Soul Arena had noticeably increased by several tenths; Yang Tian knew that his value had already been demonstrated.
Arriving at the waiting hall, Yang Tian's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he revealed a mischievous smile and headed towards Lin Dajiejie.
Lin Zhiling saw Yang Tian arrive, and a hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes, then quickly returned to calm.
"Manager Lin." Yang Tian spoke much more formally this time; no other reason than there was a middle-aged man beside Lin Zhiling, and judging by the man's attire, he should be an important figure in Tianshui City.
After Lin Zhiling heard Yang Tian's address to her, she breathed a sigh of relief, then said to the middle-aged man beside her: "Tian Shui City Lord, this is the swordsman you wanted to meet."
After speaking, Lin Zhiling then said to Yang Tian: "Swordsman, Tian Shui City Lord heard that your talent is extraordinary and wants to invite you to be a guest at the City Lord's Mansion."
Yang Tian suddenly understood; so, he was here for him. But if a big man invites me, should I go?
I heard that Tianshui City has a Tianshui Academy, which only accepts beautiful female students. I can go and take a look.
As for the City Lord's Mansion… is Shui Bing'er there?
Tian Shui City Lord laughed heartily upon seeing Yang Tian, his eyes unable to hide his admiration: "Indeed, he is a talented young man.
I heard that little friend Swordsman intends to obtain a golden douhun badge within ten days, is this true?"
Yang Tian was speechless, does he even need to ask? Is this how you try to get close? Aren't you going to show some sincerity?
Yang Tian thought this in his heart, but on the surface, he still politely said: "This junior indeed has such an intention. And, as of now, it's going quite smoothly."
Tian Shui City Lord also nodded in agreement upon hearing this, saying: "Little friend defeated three Spirit Kings in a row yesterday; you indeed have the strength to achieve a winning streak and obtain the golden douhun badge.
I wonder if little friend has time tomorrow to visit my City Lord's Mansion for a chat?"
Yang Tian was silent, a chat about what? What's there to talk about?
"City Lord is too kind. If you have anything, just tell me directly.
This junior fights three matches a day, and the time I go back I need to use to recuperate."
Lin Zhiling listened to Yang Tian's serious nonsense and couldn't help but inwardly grumble. You recuperate? Then why did you come to my office last night to take advantage of me? That little hooligan never tells the truth.
Lin Zhiling, having suffered greatly from him, naturally didn't believe Yang Tian's nonsense, but Tian Shui City Lord did. It's abnormal for a Spirit Elder to fight three Soul Arena matches a day, with all opponents being Spirit Kings, without proper rest.
Tian Shui City Lord pondered for a moment, then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the Tianshui Academy team has been practicing their coordination recently. I heard that little friend's strength is extraordinary, and perhaps you have some unique insights, or even special cultivation methods.
Of course, everything still depends on little friend's wishes."
Yang Tian's mouth twitched, and he cursed Tian Shui City Lord inwardly for being dishonest. Why didn't you say so earlier?
I was just thinking about Shui Bing'er, and here you are, practically giving her away!
Yang Tian maintained a calm expression, pretending to consider for a moment, then he said to Tian Shui City Lord: "Actually, this junior also has a plan that requires Tian Shui City Lord's help.
If Tian Shui City Lord can agree, this junior can also help the Tianshui Academy team improve their overall strength." Improving the strength of a few Spirit Masters was simple for Yang Tian; he still had many spirit power-nourishing pills in his storage ring.
Yang Tian didn't care for these pills, but they were rare treasures for other Spirit Masters.
Tian Shui City Lord heard this and was curious about Yang Tian's condition, but he didn't immediately ask, instead saying: "In that case, when do you have time, little friend, to visit the City Lord's Mansion? I can also introduce my daughter and little friend to each other.
Oh, right. My daughter, Bing'er, is the captain of the Tianshui Academy team."
Yang Tian was stunned. So that's why Lin Zhiling called him Tian Shui City Lord; he's the father-in-law!
How could Yang Tian hesitate any longer? He immediately said: "Tomorrow!"
…Didn't you say you needed to recuperate?
Tian Shui City Lord's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak. Lin Zhiling, on the other hand, turned her head away; this was too blatant.
Regardless of whether it was blatant or not, Tian Shui City Lord would not miss this opportunity to get acquainted with a talented Spirit Master. So he immediately decided: "Alright then, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the Tianshui Grand Hotel to invite little friend over."
Yang Tian nodded, and in his mind, he began to plan how to abduct an underage girl tomorrow. Shui Bing'er's talent in Douluo was top-tier. Even the Shrek Seven Devils, if not for the protagonist's halo and the aid of Immortal Herbs, might not necessarily be stronger than Shui Bing'er.
The Soul Arena matches quickly began, but the audience's hearts were all on Yang Tian, who had not yet appeared.
People weren't interested in evenly matched battles; what they truly craved were battles with a vast disparity in cultivation, yet with unexpected outcomes.
Just like the Swordsman!
"Little brother, it's your turn~" Lin Zhiling swayed her slender waist and came to Yang Tian's side. Tian Shui City Lord had already gone to the VIP section to watch the matches, and her true nature was exposed again.
Seeing this, Yang Tian unexpectedly touched Lin Zhiling's chest, then headed directly towards the Dou Hun Stage.
"Little rascal, still trying to tease me?" Yang Tian pouted. If not for a certain complex in Yang Tian's heart, he really wouldn't let go of this peerless beauty.
But, by the way, is Lin Zhiling still a virgin? Should I test her later?
Yang Tian pondered as he arrived on the Dou Hun Stage. In this match, his opponent was a Spirit King whose Spirit was a rock giant. Yang Tian was too lazy to activate his Spirit Ability and chose to go head-to-head. He simply smashed that Spirit King out of the arena with punch after punch.
Whoosh~
Yang Tian's overwhelming dominance immediately ignited the audience's passion.
Imagine, which Spirit Master doesn't wish to defeat the strong with the weak? Which person doesn't wish to be like Yang Tian, capable of crushing opponents without even using their Spirit?
Yang Tian's power became an object of contemplation for some. Coupled with Yang Tian's immortal-like demeanor, the sense of immersion was complete.
"Swordsman!"
"Swordsman!"
"Swordsman!"
A tide of cheers erupted, and the stands were in an uproar.
Meanwhile, the distinguished guests in the VIP section were also discussing in twos and threes, and some noble youths were spitting excitedly, arguing with their companions.
But without exception, Yang Tian had already become an idol in the hearts of most people present.
Tian Shui City Lord remained relatively calm, but the surprise on his face was hard to conceal. Recovering, he looked at the young girl sitting beside him.
The girl's features were exquisite and flawless, her sapphire-like eyes fixed unblinkingly on the white-robed figure on the Dou Hun Stage, her long, trembling eyelashes revealing the turmoil in her heart at that moment.
