"This technique..." Bai was left speechless."Train well.""Yes, Master..."The Next MorningLuo Xiang quietly bid farewell to Luo Lan, who was still asleep in her room."Mother, I promise I'll return soon and cure the poison in your body.""Alright, my child... please be careful with every step you take..."Luo Xiang nodded solemnly, then bowed deeply before Luo Lan—his way of showing respect and parting.Outside the residence, Yun Rou was gently stroking her beloved Phoenix. Seeing Luo Xiang walk out with Hong Yi and Bai, a look of subtle longing passed across Yun Rou’s beautiful face."If only my family were still alive... maybe I could feel what he feels..." she whispered to herself.Swuuuuush!The Sky Dragon Sect Leader suddenly appeared in the sky, gazing at Luo Xiang with a serious yet warm expression."Boy, I’ll be waiting to hear good things from you! And remember, your mother and loved ones will be under my protection... So whatever path you choose in the sect—walk it well!"

“Forty-five thousand gold coins!” Luo Xiang declared boldly, showing no fear of Wei Yun’s threats.Wei Yun appeared to hesitate. Perhaps spending fifty thousand gold coins wasn't impossible, but he feared his father’s wrath if he used such a large amount for himself.“Young Master, let it go…” the elder beside him advised.Seeing the elder trying to reason with Wei Yun, a faint smirk curved on Luo Xiang’s lips behind the privacy screen of room twenty.“Is this the extent of the Wei Clan’s wealth?” Luo Xiang mocked.“Hahaha! So it’s true—the Wei Clan is broke!” echoed a comment from a common guest.“What a pity... If the Wei Clan is this poor, they won’t be able to win the main auction item!”In room five, the young woman Hong Yue shook her head.“How bold of that woman to provoke Wei Yun…” she muttered to herself.Amidst the chatter and mockery, Wei Yun’s face turned ugly. Without thinking clearly, he slammed the table in front of him.Bang!“Seventy-five thousand gold coins!” he shou

"Hehehe... Sorry, sorry..."After returning to his original appearance, the handsome man with jet-black hair—Luo Xiang—gazed into Yun Rou’s eyes, who kept looking at him intently."S-so handsome..." Yun Rou murmured, loud enough for Luo Xiang to hear."Hahaha! Of course... Because I am the most handsome man in the Heavenly Continent," Luo Xiang declared proudly, striking a slightly narcissistic pose.Upon hearing this, Luo Lan burst into laughter, amused by how drastically different Luo Xiang’s personality was."It seems the burden on his shoulders has begun to lighten," Yun Rou thought to herself, feeling relieved.Swuuuush!After two hours of training in the Star Transformation Technique, Yun Rou began transforming her body to resemble Luo Xiang. Though her face and physique were nearly identical, unfortunately, her voice remained unchanged."Can you tell what’s wrong with me?" Luo Xiang tried to hold back his laughter upon hearing Yun Rou speak with a woman’s voice while looking li

Upon arriving in front of the Master Dragon Pagoda, Han Yue—who indeed had plans to ensure Luo Xiang failed to enter the Inner Courtyard—began laying out the rules.“If you wish to officially become Inner Courtyard disciples, then you must reach the seventh floor. If you give up before reaching it, you will fail this initial test!”Luo Xiang remained silent as he looked up at the twelve-floor pagoda. But Gong Yi and Lie Yan didn’t hide their concern—this test was far too difficult for them.“B-but—”“No buts! Blame your misfortune for crossing paths with Luo Xiang!”Elder Han Yue immediately tried to stir up tension by targeting Lie Yan’s temperament, aiming to pit the Crown Prince of the Lie Empire against Luo Xiang.“This is your fault!” Lie Yan shouted angrily.“Ahh, what are you so afraid of?” Luo Xiang asked curiously, genuinely interested in what awaited them inside the Master Dragon Pagoda.“Damn it, are you stupid or just some bumpkin from a backwater village?! The Master Drag

“W-who is he really?” Gong Yi asked, still puzzled by Luo Xiang’s true identity.Amid their exchange of attacks, Luo Xiang continued to toy with the young man formed from Qi energy.“You’re nothing but a clone… Now get out of my sight!”Booooms!Luo Xiang’s punch landed squarely on the young man’s chest. As his body crashed into the ground, Luo Xiang reappeared and delivered a brutal strike to his face.“H-how did you kn—”Baaams! Baaams!“Go on, finish your sentence!” Luo Xiang said coldly as he continued to pummel the young man’s face, silencing him completely.Dhuuuuaar!A final Qi-infused punch exploded the man’s body into pieces.Bwoooong!A bell rang throughout the small world, and as the sound faded, the voice of the Sky Dragon Sect Master echoed again.“Congratulations on clearing the seventh floor. However, to proceed to the eighth floor, I suggest the young woman from the Gong Clan withdraw immediately!”Swuuuush!A giant orb of Qi floated before Gong Yi. This was her final
