Reputation was actually just a matter of words. If someone promoted about him in a good way, then he would have a good reputation. If it was done in an opposing way, then naturally his reputation would change. Xuan Yi didn’t care at all.
Regardless of whether his reputation was good or bad, as long as he had the strength, his sword would be powerful. Who would dare to be impudent?
Xuan Yi pursed his lips. He did not care about Dao Zheng, whose name was currently resounding. Dao Zheng created a challenge to him so simply. Did he ask Xuan Yi’s sword about it? Did Xuan Yi agree to accept the challenge?
“Who does he think he is? I have to accept his challenge even if he issue it by himself?”
Xuan Yi’s words spread far and wide.
When it reached Sun Sheng’s ears, he could not help but smile bitterly.
Xuan Yi was right. With Xuan Yi’s current strength, Dao Zheng was really nothing in front of him. Not to mention one Dao Zheng, even ten Dao Zheng would be useless.
“Then you should be careful. I reckon Dao Zheng won’t give up so easily.”
Sun Sheng sighed in his heart and advised him before walking away slowly.
Behind him, a cold smile hung on Xuan Yi’s lips.
“So what if he doesn’t give up? Could it be that he still wants to come to the Middle Saint Academy?”
No matter how the outside world questioned him, Xuan Yi was not anxious at all. He even treated these doubts as a test of his state of mind. As there was basically no one who knew him, he would go out and stroll around the crowd every day, using the doubts to temper his state of mind, after that, he would return to the academy and continue to consolidate his state of mind.
Xuan Yi was not anxious, but the others were extremely anxious.
There was no need to say more about Xuan Yi’s disciples. Even with Xuan Yi’s consolation, they still found it difficult to calm down.
This was because they knew that with their master’s strength, no matter how many Dao Zheng came, it would be useless.
In the Middle Saint Academy, although the disciples of the Martial Department did not know much about Xuan Yi, as students of the Middle Saint Academy, they were naturally in an alliance with Xuan Yi. Hence, at this moment, everyone was united and supported Xuan Yi as never before.
Even though they felt that the top ranker of the Yuan Board in his twenties was a little dreamy, they still firmly supported him.
However, the Alchemy Department was different. The students of the Alchemy Department had almost listened to his lessons and had a natural sense of trust in Xuan Yi.
They deeply believed in the abilities of Master Xuan.
When Dao Zheng heard this, his eyebrows rose and laughed out loud. It was of pride and disdain.
Xuan Yi was thinking that he was afraid of the Middle Saint Academy, huh?
Dao Zheng swung the thick and heavy saber in his hand and it let out a heavy sound as it sliced through the air.
He grinned and his eyes were bloodthirsty. His entire body was filled with battle intent.
“He don’t dare to accept the challenge? Ha, then I’ll go to the Middle Saint Academy to challenge him!”
Because Xuan Yi was avoiding the challenge, the Martial Maniac Dao Zheng wanted to go to the Middle Saint Academy and challenge him.
“As expected of the Martial Maniac, even if Xuan Yi ignores him, he still have a way to force Xuan Yi to make a move and challenge him at the Middle Saint Academy. Is he going to fight before Xuan Yi’s house?”
“Xuan Yi ignores Dao Zheng? I think Xuan Yi is just afraid. Now that he’s already blocked at the Middle Saint Academy, I think that he will have no reason to escape the challenge.”
Everyone discussed animatedly. Initially, because Xuan Yi hadn’t made any comments about it, the popularity seemed to have decreased. Then Dao Zheng said, “I want to go to the Middle Saint Academy to challenge him.”
The popularity rose once again, it became a major event that everyone in the entire South Continent was paying attention to.
This matter concerned the fairness and accuracy of the South Bright Tower, as well as the huge interest behind the fame of the Yuan Board.
Just looking at the Yuan Board, there was no doubt that the people in the board were born in ancient aristocratic families or were disciples of ancient sects. These sects were in their own territories, so they naturally did not have to worry about the problem of their disciples. Even though it wasn’t impossible for a sect to recruit talents they were satisfied with in their territory, however, the talents were not enough for these large sects.
Hence, the Yuan Board was an extremely good way to spread their fame.
When the people from the other territories saw the experts on the Yuan Board and their sects added behind the experts’ names, if they had the strength and confidence, they would also choose to join these sects.
Now that Xuan Yi had suddenly appeared and did not have any battle results, everyone wanted to know just how strong he was.
Boom!
In the Martial Region, one of the top three great regions of the south continent, Wu Wentian of the Wu family moved!
His entire body was filled with a terrifying aura. Martial art anomalies were appearing all over his body, and he seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the Sage Realm.
He tore through space and rushed straight towards the Holy Region.
Xuan Yi avoided fighting, but he was ranked first on the Yuan Board by the South Bright Tower.
As the person with the highest possibility of becoming the Martial God, Wu Wentian became interested in Xuan Yi.
He wasn’t the only one. As long as the experts on the Yuan Board weren’t busy, they would all rush towards the Holy Region.
As the experts on the Yuan Board, who would really believe that there was someone who could be ranked first in the Yuan Board?
Unless, he was able to convince them with his own strength.
Most of them had fought with Dao Zheng before, so they knew that Dao Zheng’s strength was not to be underestimated. Now that he was going to the Middle Saint Academy, it was obvious that Xuan Yi would have nowhere to hide and was bound to make a move.
The battle at the Middle Saint Academy was worth watching!
The others also thought the same. As one of the top academies in the southern region, although the Middle Saint Academy’s ranking had been declining in recent years, it was still a strong academy in the Southern Continent.
On the Yuan Board, since the Middle Saint Academy was written behind Xuan Yi, he would definitely make a move if someone went to the academy and blocked his way.
On this point, even the Middle Saint Academy would not have anything to say.
More and more people came to the Holy Region. Martial artists from the other major forces and those who were curious all gathered at the entrance of the Saint Academy, waiting for Dao Zheng to challenge Xuan Yi, and for the two of them to stage an exciting duel.
Dao Zheng could unleash the battle prowess of an early-stage Sage Realm and Xuan Yi was a peak-stage martial artist in the Sect Master Realm. The battle between the two was enough to benefit everyone.
If they could understand something from it, perhaps they would stir up the storm of the Southern Continent this time?
Everyone’s hearts were burning with excitement. They were filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle between them.
“Wu Wentian from the Martial Region is an expert on the Yuan Board. It’s said that he’s about to break through the Sage realm. His strength is terrifyingly strong.”
Boom!
As everyone was praising Wu Wentian’s strength, an indescribable aura spread out and reflected in everyone’s mind. It was as if there was a faint ancient charm that was slowly being recited.
“It’s the An family’s disciple, An Rudao!”
Everyone’s eyes widened without blinking. After seeing the two experts on the Yuan Board, they were full of anticipation. Whenever space fluctuated, they would turn their heads and look over.
Boom!
Everyone suddenly became unprecedentedly excited.
“Gongsun Yun’er! The number one beauty of the Beast Region. She’s too beautiful!”
An exquisite-looking woman with an absolutely beautiful figure tore through space with her jade-white hands. She descended gracefully and tyrannically.
Gongsun Yun’er was an expert on the Yuan Board. She was publicly acknowledged as an unparalleled goddess of the entire South Continent. Countless cultivators of the South Continent had been dreaming about her!
“The goddess also came here. I’m so lucky I can watch her and the duel at the same time.”
Everyone was extremely excited. There was an uncontrollable joy in their eyes.
At this point, the experts on the Yuan Board as well as the people from the various factions had basically arrived.
Dao Zheng seemed to have sensed this as well. He descended from the sky with a loud bang as he controlled his saber.
On top of the heavy dark steel saber, an overbearing saber intent shot out like a dragon from the sea, and charged straight towards the Middle Saint Academy.
