765 Regional Champion.

Shi Lang opened his eyes and looked at the five people around him. They were all tired and had various injuries covering their bodies. He cupped his fist and said, "I apologize for the trouble I have caused you all. Also, I am grateful for your protection in this critical time. I will remember this favor." The people smiled and exchanged their glances. Shi Lang turned to look at Yao Jiming and waved his hand to extract the sword intent from his body. The relief was sudden and evident by the expression on the latter's face. He sighed and said, "Thank you, Young Master." Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You do not have to thank me, Brother Yao. It was my fault in the first place. I am glad you did not abandon me after my foolish behavior." Yun Xue nodded and said, "Good that you are grateful." Shi Lang smiled faintly and asked, "I think it is just the six of us left in the secret realm. Shall we head out?" Han Milax said, "Young Master Ace, we can only go out when only one of us is left in the secret realm. For that, we will have to decide upon the title of the Regional Champion." Shi Lang nodded and asked, "What do you all think?" Meng Xueyan said, "Young Master Ace if you are willing to marry me, I will give up this competition immediately. Otherwise, you will have to spar with me." Shi Lang replied without hesitation, "I choose to spar." Meng Xueyan pouted, and Young Master Meng said, "Young Master Ace, I would like to spar with you as well." Shi Lang nodded and said, "Everyone has the same intention. Then, if you do not mind, you can all come to me simultaneously. That should be a fair chance." Han Milax asked, "How is that a fair chance? You were about to kill us earlier." Shi Lang smiled and replied, "I apologize to you, fellow Daoist. Rest assured, I know how to hold back now." The people exchanged glances, and Yun Xue said, "I will not hold back this time." The Terran smiled and said, "Suit yourself." They found a clearing a few kilometers away. It was the ravine created by the attack of the demon beast emperor earlier. Shi Lang took out his spear. Han Milax asked, "Why are you not using your sword?" The Terran replied, "My sword is only to cut down foes. I do not raise it against my friends. Do not worry; I am not weak with my spear either." Yun Xue wielded her sword and moved quickly to attack Shi Lang. The battle has begun, and the winner will become the regional champion. The champion will then go on to fight for the ultimate title. ...

Amelia was panting as she stood before a young man. The other party was not in a good state; he was missing an arm, and his shoulder was bleeding profusely. His face was turning paler with every moment. He used his other arm and spiritual energy to stop bleeding. The young man said, "I made a mistake underestimating you, Sect Mistress Amelia." Amelia had a cold face and did not respond to him. The young man asked, "Why do you not speak? Am I not worthy of hearing your voice?" The lady replied, "I do not like to associate with dogs who enjoy vanity provided by others." The young man clenched his fist and said, "If you manage to withstand this attack of mine, I will let you go. If you are injured, then I hope you surrender to me like a bitch." Amelia sneered and then took a deep breath, watching the young man raise his left arm and point a finger at her. He shouted, "Titan finger." The lady frowned and did not wait for the attack to land on her. Instead, she vanished from her place. The finger of the young man had turned into a ray gun—a wide beam of spiritual energy condensed in the void. It vaporized everything in the path, even the ground, and left a smooth curved ravine on the ground. The young man did not see how Amelia had vanished. However, just as his attack was about to finish, a strong, threatening feeling grabbed his throat. He froze. Amelia had appeared behind him. He asked with difficulty, "How are you so fast?" Amelia did not reply to him but drove her sword through his body. She said, "You do not need to do any of that. What you need to know is that you are better off dying at my hands. If my husband were to find what you said to me, he would make you beg for death." The young man could not say anything as life seeped out of his body, and he fell to the ground. Ying Yu and Bo Qingtan were standing in the distance. The trio was hunting demonic beasts when they came across a cultivator from the Titan Sect. The latter provoked them by passing obscene remarks at Amelia. The lady was quick-tempered and decided to slay the man to make an example out of him. After she killed the guy, she turned around to look into the distance. She said, "If you do not have the guts to come out and fight me, do not peek at me. I will dig out your eyes." Someone was gazing at her hidden in the treeline. Bo Qingtan unsheathed his sword and attacked the person with his sword intent. The attack was terrifyingly quick. The person in the distance did not have the time to react much and decisively gave up the jade card. Amelia nodded to him, and he returned the favor. The Titan sect and War Maiden sect were both located in different regions. However, the test was held in a common secret realm, and it was said that the top ten would be promoted to fight in the final round-robin duel matches. Amelia had followed Shi Lang's instructions and made a small transmitter to communicate with her sect mates. She found that Titan sect people were coming after them. She was not a defensive person, and by now, she had killed seven titan sect practitioners after the other side came after one girl from her sect. She believed in fighting till the last troop standing. Her means have pacified the Titan Sect. However, the Young Master of the Titan Sect has claimed that he will kill Amelia in the final round before the dignitaries of the Martial Council. ... Outside the secret realm, the grand elder of the Titan Sect stood with his fists clenched tightly. He would glare at the old grand elder of the War Maiden Sect. However, the lady ignored him as if he did not exist. Finally, unable to hold him back, the old man asked, "What does that woman think of herself, Old hag Yuan." Old lady Yuan turned her head to look at him and replied calmly, "Old bastard Ming, do you need me to teach you a lesson before all these juniors to help you remember whom you are talking to? As for what my disciple thinks of herself, you do not need to know. Just remember that she is capable of backing her words with her skills. If you cross her, you will face a crisis like never before." The old man snorted and said, "Do you think that I will not kill her?" Old Lady Yuan replied, "You can try to lay a hand on her and see if your Titan sect will stand intact." Old Man Ming was left speechless. He was helpless in dealing with this lady. She was an iron-fist maiden who suppressed everything with her power. He snorted and turned to look at the invigilator, "There are only ten people left. What is the point of continuing this assessment?" The invigilator replied, "It is the discipline of the martial council. Do you want to offend them? If so, please be my guest." Old Man Ming took a deep breath and calmed his mind because, despite being a sovereign, he was no match to the forces of the martial council. ...

On the other hand, Shi Lang finished defeating all the contenders. Han Milax was the first to lose, followed by Young Master Meng and Yao Jiming. Yun Xue and Meng Xueyan were both at the same level, and Shi Lang had to take them on simultaneously and did not back off for a long time. The girls meant every word when they said they would fight all out. Shi Lang did not disrespect them and showed them his real strength. His intent of spear was to shake their souls. They were both completely terrorized, and their faces turned pale. At that moment, Shi Lang disarmed them. The battle showed the people that Shi Lang was stronger than them all, even without the influence of the demonic soul. As the Terran stood alone in the void, he took a deep breath and said, "Time to meet Amelia is coming soon. I should get her a gift."
