Chapter 65: Chapter Sixty‑Five: Huang Shaotian's Hostility, Jiangnan Sheng Humiliated!

The next day, as the sunlight gently showered upon the earth.

A new day had been awakened.

Su Yu slowly awoke from his cultivation; in just the time of yesterday's day, relying on the guiding method, his qi and blood were actually increased by a bit!

Now, Su Yu's qi and blood actually amount to a full eighty‑eight points!

You must know, the qi and blood of the Blood Refining Realm are not the same as those of the Qi Blood Realm; in quality, they absolutely leave the Qi Blood Realm's qi and blood far behind.

However, relying on a second‑tier technique, Su Yu directly increased his qi and blood by a bit in just one night.

If it were anyone else, they would need at least two or three days to achieve that.

Clearly, Su Yu is terrifying.

"Ha! At this rate, I'll soon be able to fully break into the peak of the Blood Refining Realm!"

Su Yu's mouth curved into a slight arc.

Only when qi and blood reach ninety can one be considered at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm; previously everyone thought Su Yu was at that peak merely because his qi and blood were terrifyingly high.

This is why, although Su Yu's qi and blood are only in the eighties, his aura is even more terrifying than that of those at the Blood Refining Realm peak.

After a quick wash, Su Yu pushed open the door and headed toward the Heavenly Pride Battalion's gate.

Moments later, at the gate of the Heavenly Pride Battalion, everyone was already waiting.

Su Yu was the last to arrive.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sorry for making you all wait."

Su Yu carried a hint of apology, yet someone ended up dissatisfied.

"How dare you think that defeating a Stone Ape puts you on par with us? Making everyone wait for you, Su Yu—what a big face you have!"

The smile on Su Yu's face gradually stiffened, and his gaze turned to the speaker.

In the crowd, a slightly short young man coldly smiled at Su Yu.

Su Yu glanced indifferently at the youth and said.

"Do we have any grudge?"

The youth heard Su Yu speak, let out a cold laugh, and said.

"What? You say one thing and you're not willing to accept it? Everyone here is among the top ten of the Heavenly Pride Ranking, except you—a mere newcomer—yet you dare to keep us waiting?"

Upon hearing those words, Su Yu could no longer hold back.

I clearly have no grudge with him, yet just because I arrived a few minutes late, he targets me like this.

Frankly, although Su Yu's temper is usually good, facing such unreasonable provocation, he simply can't tolerate it.

Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Du Nian official stepped out to smooth things over.

"Everyone, please speak properly; today is the day we head to the Grand Master Secret Realm, and making a noise now is hardly a good thing!"

However, upon Du Nian official's intervention, the short youth seemed not to hear, merely cold‑smiling.

"What? You won't even listen to a single word?"

"Truly arrogant—no wonder the Stone Ape took aim at you!"

The youth's words also made Du Nian official's face look a bit uneasy.

I came out to mediate, yet the other side remains utterly unyielding.

"Enough!"

A cold voice sounded.

Everyone looked over, only to see Wang Lin speaking.

Wang Lin glanced indifferently at the youth and said.

"Whoever dares to say another word, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wang Lin's words instantly silenced the youth.

The youth glanced warily at Wang Lin, then let out a cold snort and fell silent.

However, although the youth fell silent, Su Yu could not help but feel indignant—being scolded to his face was nothing short of a slap to himself.

However, Du Nian official directly saw what Su Yu was thinking and grabbed him.

He whispered.

"Su Yu, I know you're angry, but now is not the time to hold a grudge; soon the Grand Master Secret Realm will open, and not only our Jiangnan Sheng people but also Heavenly Pride cultivators from other provinces will be here, so we must unite—after all, you know Jiangnan Sheng's standing in Daxia is rather embarrassing."

Upon hearing Du Nian official's words, Su Yu's expression eased a little.

Nevertheless, he still gave the youth a deep look.

"What's that guy's name?"

Du Nian official frowned slightly.

Who would have thought that the youth would actually speak up.

"Huang Shaotian, seventh on the Heavenly Pride Ranking—what? You really think defeating a Stone Ape lets you talk back to me? If it weren't for the imminent trip to the Grand Master Secret Realm, I'd surely tell you who the true Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly Pride Battalion is!"

Su Yu glanced at him indifferently.

"Huang Shaotian, right? Good—once the Grand Master Secret Realm ends, wash your neck clean and wait for me!"

However, faced with Su Yu's threat, Huang Shaotian snorted in disdain.

For he is indeed a seventh‑ranked existence on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, at the peak of the early Organ Refining Realm, only half a step away from entering the mid Organ Refining Realm.

Such strength gives him endless confidence!

Moments later, Jiang Shang's figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Everyone, are you all ready?"

Jiang Shang's deep voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Everyone nodded slightly.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Jiang Shang smiled, then waved his hand.

"Then... set sail!"

Jiangnan Sheng, the easternmost part.

A winding mountain range lay peacefully flat on the earth, like a ferocious dragon.

However, at the highest point of this mountain range, there were strong auras shooting up into the sky.

Moreover, there was a faint Spiritual Qi hovering between heaven and earth, as if condensing into a small vortex.

All that could be seen, on the summit of this mountain range, were groups of people divided into different crowds, standing still on the summit.

Between the several forces, there was moreover an extremely hostile aura, spreading among the crowd.

With the passage of time, this aura became even more violent.

However, at that moment, a clear voice rang out between heaven and earth.

"Everyone, you've waited long!"

The crowd followed the sound and saw: a burly middle-aged man, leading a group of youths, slowly arrived at the summit.

The newcomers turned out to be Jiang Shang and his companions.

"Jiang Shang, you're late!"

Among the crowd, an old man in a Daoist robe slowly spoke.

Jiang Shang didn't care at all, smiling as he spoke.

"This is our Jiangnan Sheng's territory; how can you not wait a moment?"

The old man said lightly.

"Without this Grand Master's secret realm, what is your Jiangnan Sheng? Don't just gild yourselves here!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang's face, which had been smiling, instantly turned extremely ugly.

He stared fixedly at the old man.

"If you have the ability... say it again!"
