After Aotian's words fell, the entire Duel Arena fell into silence. Soon after, a tremendous uproar erupted.
The first thought that crossed everyone's mind was that Aotian had gone mad, and the second thought was that Aotian was being foolish!
Who is Dao Lengtian? He is the Vice Master of Azure Cloud Sect, a high-ranking figure within the sect, and such a person is certainly valued by Azure Cloud Sect.
Yet Aotian dared to declare openly that he wanted to kill Dao Lengtian; wasn't this tantamount to severing ties with Azure Cloud Sect? Regardless of who ultimately wins or loses, it seems that only one of Aotian or Azure Cloud Sect can survive.
If Aotian loses, he will naturally be killed by Dao Lengtian. But if Dao Lengtian loses, Aotian will definitely not spare him either.
If Aotian truly kills Dao Lengtian in front of countless witnesses, it would undoubtedly be a severe slap in the face to Azure Cloud Sect. To save face, Azure Cloud Sect would surely seek to eliminate Aotian.
At that time, even if Aotian has Xuantian Academy backing him, the outcome may not be much better.
Of course, the most important thing is that Aotian actually used that condition; in everyone's eyes, it was a blatant waste!
To propose a condition to Xuantian Academy is incredibly tempting! Yet now, Aotian asked for Xuantian Academy to stand aside—what else could this be but waste?
Some even thought, since you want Dao Lengtian dead so badly, why not directly ask the higher-ups of Xuantian Academy to take action? This way, you could at least derive some value from that condition.
In fact, Aotian had entertained this thought as well but quickly dismissed it.
Those seated on the high platform are all renowned figures within Fengyun Nation. If he were to charge up and kill Dao Lengtian directly, not only would Azure Cloud Sect refuse to agree, but even the Grand Elder would likely oppose it.
After all, guests are guests; as the host, Xuantian Academy naturally has an obligation to ensure their safety.
If he were to attack directly, it would not only slap Azure Cloud Sect in the face but also involve Xuantian Academy in the conflict.
At that time, there would likely be very unfavorable voices regarding Xuantian Academy in Fengyun Nation.
What? Aotian is a student of your Xuantian Academy, and now a student disregards the academy and directly kills a guest of the academy. Your Xuantian Academy is truly going downhill! You can't even manage a mere student!
If this continues, many people might give up on joining Xuantian Academy. That's why Aotian proposed this condition.
When the time comes, even if unfavorable rumors about Xuantian Academy spread in Fengyun Nation, Xuantian Academy can use the condition as an excuse to extricate itself from the situation.
Of course, Aotian would not let Xuantian Academy take action for revenge. Firstly, it would be difficult for him to vent his anger that way; he must avenge his own grievances! If he needs others to help him with even minor grudges, how can he talk about reaching the peak of martial arts?!
Secondly, it is not suitable for Xuantian Academy to intervene in this matter. After all, Dao Lengtian is currently a guest, and Xuantian Academy is the host. It would be unreasonable for the host to act against a guest.
Even if there is an excuse based on conditions, the fact remains that it was you from Xuantian who killed him, which inevitably makes other guests feel uneasy. This would be extremely detrimental to Xuantian Academy's standing in Fengyun Nation.
Therefore, in order to seek revenge without putting Xuantian Academy in a difficult position, Aotian had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Although it seems somewhat wasteful, there were no other options for revenge.
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Dao Lengtian's expression turned extremely ugly, secretly cursing himself for letting this scoundrel go back then. Now, this scoundrel's strength has grown increasingly formidable, and he no longer has absolute confidence in winning.
The Grand Elder, upon hearing Aotian's words, still maintained a calm demeanor and pretended to ponder for a moment before saying:
"Aotian, this isn't good, is it? Even if Dao Lengtian has done wrong, he is still our guest. If we neglect him, how will we explain it to Azure Cloud Sect?"
Aotian remained resolute after hearing this and replied:
"I ask for the Grand Elder's approval! Aotian only has this one condition!"
"This..." The Grand Elder continued to feign a troubled expression.
The others present couldn't help but feel that it was shameless, and Dao Lengtian was so furious he nearly spat blood.
It was clear to anyone with eyes that the Grand Elder and Aotian were putting on a show, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
If the Grand Elder truly wanted to protect Dao Lengtian, he would have directly expelled Aotian from the Duel Arena instead of dragging things out in front of everyone!
However, even though everyone understood the situation, no one dared to speak up. After all, the Grand Elder's strength was well-known. To speak out would only provoke him and risk driving this old man mad.
Thus, everyone consciously chose to remain spectators, quietly watching how events would unfold.
While others stayed silent, Dao Lengtian had to take action. Otherwise, wouldn’t it make people think that Dao Lengtian was afraid of that young brat?!
If that were the case, where would Dao Lengtian's authority be? What about the authority of the Azure Cloud Sect?!
"Grand Elder, please do not obstruct me! This little brat is too arrogant; I must teach him a lesson! He needs to learn how to respect his elders!"
Dao Lengtian suppressed his anger and cupped his hands toward the Grand Elder, speaking darkly.
"Alas, why must you go through all this trouble? But if you insist, I can only allow it! Just don’t let it affect our harmony!" The Grand Elder feigned a heartbroken expression as he spoke.
The crowd in the Duel Arena couldn't help but curse their shamelessness inwardly, yet they dared not show any sign on their faces.
Dao Lengtian snorted lightly, seemingly expressing his dissatisfaction. Then, with his right hand gripping a large blade, he flashed onto the Dueling Platform and shouted at Aotian:
"You little brat, get down here! I want to see how much your strength has increased after a few days!"
Aotian lightly pushed off the ground and appeared in front of Dao Lengtian. Without saying a word, he directly clawed at Dao Lengtian's shoulder. The fierce wind from his strike made Dao Lengtian's cheek sting, raising his alertness significantly.
However, Dao Lengtian is not to be underestimated. As the Vice Master of the Azure Cloud Sect, it is impossible for him to lack real skills.
Dao Lengtian executed a spinning kick directly to Aotian's wrist, the powerful force causing Aotian to stagger back several steps, his face slightly pale.
After all, Dao Lengtian is a late-stage Human Spirit Realm warrior, and his strength is certainly greater than that of Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong combined. Therefore, Aotian must be extremely cautious when facing Dao Lengtian.
"You've been carefree for a few months, but it seems your strength hasn't improved much. I'm truly disappointed!"
Seeing Aotian being kicked back by him, Dao Lengtian couldn't help but sneer.
Dao Lengtian's voice was loud enough for everyone in the Duel Arena to hear clearly, and immediately, anger was evident on everyone's faces.
As the champion of this year's Dragon-Tiger Contest, Aotian holds the highest honor aside from Core Students. Now, someone has insulted the honor of the Student; how could these hot-blooded young students tolerate it?
Instantly, curses filled every corner...
(The previous chapter didn't reach two thousand words, so I couldn't set it as VIP. Just consider it a gift from Nine Curves to you all. Happy reading!)
