Chapter 265: Chapter 262: The Transformation of Zhuo Yanyun (10th Update)

Zhuo Qian knelt on the ground, trembling all over. She could feel the scorching gazes around her, among which were ridicule and disdain, as well as sympathy.

A strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart!

Throughout her life, she had never been subjected to such insult. Ye Xuan’s public humiliation of her was even more agonizing than being killed by a sword.

Staring at Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, a resentful expression flashed across Zhuo Qian’s eyes.

However, in Zhuo Yanyun’s beautiful eyes directed at Ye Xuan, there was a continuous flicker of fascination. She had thought that Ye Xuan was about to kill Zhuo Qian just now, but he had magnanimously decided to let the matter go by merely cutting off a strand of hair.

Zhuo Yanyun, an exceptional personality, was pre-empted by that girl Nangong Yao. No, she couldn’t just stand by. Before the relationship between Nangong Yao and Ye Xuan was fully confirmed, she had to intervene and snatch him away.

"Zhuo Qian, you haven’t thanked Young Master Ye Xuan for sparing your life yet."

With this thought, Zhuo Yanyun also planned to mend her relationship with Ye Xuan, furrowing her brows as she spoke to Zhuo Qian beside her.

"I will definitely thank him properly for this favor."

Zhuo Qian’s eyes were icily hateful, her voice also carrying a tinge of spite.

This humiliation, once she found an opportunity, she must repay a hundredfold!

Not detecting the wrong tone in her voice, Zhuo Yanyun thought her sister genuinely acknowledged her mistake and didn’t interfere further. Her thoughts now were focused on how to restore her relationship with Ye Xuan and snatch him back from Nangong Yao.

At that moment, Li Ziting, who had been watching the battle, leaped onto the Battle Platform. His voice, enveloped by True Qi, resonated across the whole square, "Ye Xuan, it’s our turn to battle now."

Hearing this, the previously buzzing square fell abruptly silent. Many eyes turned toward Ye Xuan, some filled with a taste of wanting to see some drama.

Recently, the "scandal" between Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao had caused a stir, making many disciples of the Xuanbing Mansion very antipathetic toward Ye Xuan. They preferred that the water not flow into someone else’s field but let Li Ziting win Nangong Yao, better than Ye Xuan, an outsider of dubious origin.

Whoosh!

Ye Xuan didn’t waste words; with a tap of his foot, he flew out like a leaf and elegantly landed on the Battle Platform.

"The show has started."

Gu Feiyang’s face showed a mischievous expression. Ye Xuan’s recent humiliation of Zhuo Qian had deepened his dislike for Ye Xuan. Now, he couldn’t wait to see Ye Xuan being humiliated by Li Ziting.

"Brother Ye Xuan, you can do it!"

Nangong Yao waved her little fists, cheering from below the platform.

Ye Xuan nodded at Nangong Yao. However, just as he was about to start the fight, a tender voice reached his ears, "Young Master Ye Xuan, I’m rooting for you."

Ye Xuan was startled, then turned his head, and even he was somewhat astonished to see that the owner of that tender voice was none other than Zhuo Yanyun.

At the moment their eyes met, Zhuo Yanyun’s face suddenly revealed a very tender smile, sending a covert flirtatious glance directly at Ye Xuan.

The disciples of Xuanbing Mansion were instantly petrified. Even Li Ziting on the other side of the Battle Platform stood stunned.

Was this still the haughty and aloof Zhuo Yanyun?

In their memory, Zhuo Yanyun had always been an arrogant swan, never paying any attention to anyone, especially not deigning to glance at any male disciples. But now, she was showing an unprecedented tender side towards Ye Xuan.

Wait, they needed to sort out their thoughts. Today’s battle was supposed to be about Li Ziting liking Nangong Yao while Nangong Yao and Ye Xuan were ambiguously involved. It was clearly a love triangle.

But now, was this what people called a love square?

The female disciples of Xuanbing Mansion suddenly burst into chatter. Girls were the biggest gossips; they couldn’t miss out on such juicy gossip.

"No wonder Zhuo Yanyun wants Ye Xuan to be her slave."

Li Ziting’s face darkened. Actually, Zhuo Yanyun had only just decided to compete with Nangong Yao for Ye Xuan, which had nothing to do with their previous bet. But how could he understand Zhuo Yanyun’s bizarre thoughts? He could only connect these two matters.

"Zhuo Yanyun, what are you playing at?"

Nangong Yao looked at Zhuo Yanyun somewhat warily, unsure what tricks the latter might pull next.

"How come, you see, such an outstanding man as Ye Xuan, you’re not the only one allowed to like him. From now on, Nangong Yao, I want to compete with you fairly. Let’s see who can win his heart," said Zhuo Yanyun with a smile, lifting her rosy lips.

Nangong Yao’s mouth gaped open in surprise; she hadn’t expected Zhuo Yanyun to so quickly start competing with her again, not for some precious treasure or honor, but directly for Ye Xuan.

"I wouldn’t compete with you, Brother Ye Xuan doesn’t care about women like you."

"You’re wrong, as far as I know, men generally prefer mature women, and I think Young Master Ye Xuan is no exception. Don’t think that living with him gives you an advantage—you lack femininity and can only attract men by acting cute," Zhuo Yanyun said coldly with a smirk, purposely flaunting herself, causing many disciples of Xuanbing Mansion to be dazzled.

"You... shameless!"

Nangong Yao looked down, her pretty face flushing red, unable to speak out of anger. Zhuo Yanyun’s figure was truly undeniable, much more voluptuous than ordinary women, making Nangong Yao naturally pale in comparison.

"Enough, Ye Xuan, if I win this contest, you must leave Xuanbing Mansion and never show your face within a hundred miles of Glacier Island!"

Li Ziting could no longer stand idly by. The two top beauties, who were usually the pride of the Xuanbing Mansion, had begun competing for Ye Xuan’s attention, which was intolerable. If he didn’t manage to drive Ye Xuan out of Xuanbing Mansion today, he would be unable to regain his dignity.

The disciples who were watching were like pots of vinegar knocked over, united in hostility towards Ye Xuan. Initially, it involved only Nangong Yao which they could tolerate, but now that Zhuo Yanyun also seemed beguiled by Ye Xuan, it was simply outrageous. Ye Xuan might not be the strongest in combat, but his skills in attracting women were unmatched, monopolizing both beauties of their mansion. If this got out, they’d be the laughing stock of other sect’s disciples.

"As you wish, but what if I win?"

Faced with those hostile glares, Ye Xuan managed a wry smile. Though this was a true misfortune, he was not someone who feared trouble. After calming his emotions, he looked up and asked.

"If you win, wherever you appear, I, Li Ziting, will retreat three spears’ lengths!" Li Ziting’s eyes flickered with cold light as he spoke sternly.

"No problem."

This was exactly what Ye Xuan had been waiting for; otherwise, with Li Ziting bothering him daily, he’d probably die of annoyance without a moment to focus on his cultivation.

This battle wasn’t just about defeating Li Ziting but also about winning convincingly enough to earn the recognition of his strength from other disciples of Xuanbing Mansion.

"Let’s start then!"

Li Ziting flicked his wrist, making the black spear in his hand spin in place. As True Qi surged, the inscriptions on it lit up, a dense wave of energy emitting from the spear.

Snap!

Suddenly gripping the spinning black spear, a glint of gold flashed across Li Ziting’s eyes as he made a decisive move. The spear swept through the air, leaving a scorch mark, and hurtled diagonally toward Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan tipped on his toes, light as a swallow, his right foot seemingly touching the ground but actually maintaining a microscopic gap as he drifted backward.

"Dragon Crane Steps!"

Li Ziting channeled his True Qi to his legs which, while ferocious in momentum, also significantly increased his speed. His legs, resembling the legs of a crane, were wrapped in whirlwinds as he suddenly closed the distance, the spearhead visibly nearing Ye Xuan’s face.

The True Qi exploded, an alarming chill spreading to the tip of the spear.

At the spearhead of the black spear, a cold star suddenly emerged, its extreme cold waves freezing the air in a straight line, causing fine ice crystals to fall.

Puff!

Ye Xuan’s face was pierced, causing a burst of exclamations from below the platform. However, strangely, no blood spurted from the pierced face, and Ye Xuan’s figure rapidly dispersed.

"So fast!"

Li Ziting inwardly marveled, Ye Xuan’s movement technique was even more bizarre than his own, not only swift but also cloaked in a layer of mystery, highly sophisticated.

Ye Xuan’s movement technique was merely an Earth-grade "Wave Riding Step," which had struggled to keep pace with Ye Xuan’s cultivation. However, after Ye Xuan made some refinements, this movement technique found its utility once again.

Ling Xu Shadow.

This also compensated for Ye Xuan’s disadvantage in movement technique. Previously, in the Tiannan Region, his opponents weren’t outstanding in movement, so Ye Xuan neglected training in this area. But upon reaching the Chaotic Sea Domain, where the level of talent had risen, he could not afford to leave any aspect of martial arts unpolished, lest he leave a significant weakness that could severely impact his competitiveness.

The afterimage shattered, and Ye Xuan appeared five meters behind Li Ziting.

"Breaking Army Tyrant Emperor Spear!"

Without looking back, Li Ziting immediately lifted the black spear, swing his arm violently, and brought the fierce spear sweeping toward Ye Xuan behind him.

Seeing this familiar move, Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged; he swung his sword horizontally with precise timing, striking the spear tip and deflecting the spear, effectively blocking the subsequent moves.

"Tenth Form, Air Dominating Desolation!"

The previous nine spear techniques had no effect on Ye Xuan, so Li Ziting, opening his stance, executed the most powerful tenth form of the Breaking Army Tyrant Emperor Spear. Last time fighting against Ye Xuan, he had only used the first nine forms. However, precisely because of this, the nine forms had failed to prevail, making them useless before Ye Xuan in this battle.
