#612 - Tit for tat

The half-saints from the ancient stars like Ri Sang stared coldly at Jun Wuxie, whose face appeared somewhat pale.

This fellow's complexion isn't good, likely due to the effects of the laxative, but with such a potent laxative, the effects should be even stronger. How can he still be here causing trouble!

They couldn't help but look at Half-Saint Bailey, wondering if the 'Saint Laxative Escape' was truly as powerful as it was hyped to be.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie met the Sleep King's chilling gaze with a cold stare of his own.

The Sleep King secretly released the mental pressure of the Extreme Heavenly Realm, but found that the Chaotic Body was completely unmoved, merely looking at him coldly, confronting him head-on.

He was increasingly shocked. This Chaotic Body was truly remarkable, with extremely powerful mental strength and an unbelievably strong psychological fortitude!

A Saint Realm cultivator, facing the gaze and mental pressure of his Extreme Heavenly Realm Half-Saint self, was actually so calm and composed?

Today, he deliberately used words to mock and suppress the Eternal Ancient Academy, in order to demoralize them, so that the negotiations would be smoother.

He didn't expect a young Supreme to jump out and interfere!

Ninth Elder was preparing to step forward and pull Jun Wuxie to his side. He hadn't expected this kid to sneak over here, and why did his complexion look so bad, somewhat weak?

However, his sharp words just now had helped them regain some ground in the verbal battle where they had been at a disadvantage.

The Great Elder reached out and grabbed Ninth Elder's arm, gently shaking his head, signaling him not to interfere.

He knew that this young man would definitely not suffer a loss.

No matter how strong the Sleep King was, he wouldn't dare to make a move in their Eternal Ancient Academy. If he did, he would only humiliate himself.

In terms of verbal battles, all of them combined might not be as good as Jun Wuxie. After all, some words were difficult for people like them to say, but Jun Wuxie was different.

As a young Supreme, full of youthful vigor, his fiery words could resonate with many people in the starry sky, unlike them, these old fogeys.

"Where did this brat come from? How dare you interrupt when we, the power holders, are speaking!" The Sleep King said coldly, looking at the Great Elder and the others, and said: "Is the Eternal Ancient Academy so lacking in discipline?"

"Hahaha! Are you showing off your status?" Jun Wuxie retorted: "If you really cared about your status, you wouldn't be here boasting about your past achievements like a petty man who has gained power! Why don't you mention how you were pinned to the ground and rubbed during the initial confrontation?"

"Boy, shut up!"

The Sleep King's face was gloomy, he couldn't believe that a Saint Realm cultivator dared to speak to him like this in front of him. Who gave him the confidence to be so arrogant?

"What's wrong, can't argue anymore, and now you're ashamed and angry? Are you planning to rely on your Extreme Heavenly Realm cultivation to exchange a few moves with me, a Saint Realm cultivator?"

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he directly adopted a fighting stance, with an attitude of 'come at me if you dare', making the Sleep King's chest rise and fall violently with anger, his face already turning livid.

He naturally couldn't attack the young Supreme of the Eternal Ancient Academy here. That would become a laughing stock in the starry sky, and would inevitably anger the elders of the Eternal Ancient Academy. In the end, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

Fairy Qingyue held a large communication device, broadcasting the entire process live.

While broadcasting, she faced the light screen evolved from the rune communication device, and said to the cultivators throughout the starry sky: "Dear viewers in the starry sky, Elder Sleep King of the Ancient Holy Mansion is now engaged in a verbal confrontation with the young Supreme of the Eternal Ancient Academy. I have already felt the extremely tense atmosphere on the scene. Here, Qingyue would like to introduce this young Supreme to everyone. His name is Jun Wuxie, and he is a disciple of the Saint of War from Emperor Beginning Star. I believe everyone is familiar with the legend of the Saint of War, so let us look forward to the wonderful spectacle that will follow."

"What, that irritable old brother is a disciple of the Saint of War?"

"No wonder he's so irritable, it turns out he has the Saint of War backing him up!"

"Over the years, we've only heard legends about the Saint of War, but we've never had the chance to see her peerless demeanor. Today, we finally see her disciple. He's really domineering."

"Ya ya ya~ Irritable handsome boy, so he's a disciple of the Saint of War. What should I do, my heart is moved, I really want to have his babies~"

… …

On the light screen evolved from Fairy Qingyue's communication device, lines of text kept popping up, scrolling frantically.

She looked at it, and the number of people in their Curious Wonders Tower's live broadcast channel had actually reached a terrifying number of thirty-something, with the number of viewers in trillions.

When the Sleep King heard Qingyue say this, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light burst out!

Saint of War!

This child is actually a disciple of the Saint of War?

As early as a few years ago, the Curious Wonders Tower had reported about the Saint of War. She was an extremely terrifying existence, unfathomable.

"Wuxie, how can you talk to Elder Sleep King like that? Look, you've made him so angry that he's about to vomit blood." The Great Elder glanced at Jun Wuxie reproachfully, and said: "Guests from afar, we should treat them well."

After speaking, he looked at the Sleep King with a gloomy face: "Hahaha, Elder Sleep King, a small interlude, just to liven up the atmosphere. Come, please come inside, let's talk in detail in the Eternal Ancient Hall."

"Humph!"

The Sleep King couldn't do anything to Jun Wuxie, so he could only endure his anger, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the Eternal Ancient Hall, with the two middle-aged men following behind with dark faces.

Fairy Qingyue walked at the very back with the rune communication device, and faced the starry sky audience, saying: "The small interlude before the meeting has come to an end. I believe many friends are quite disappointed with this ending. It doesn't matter, the meeting process that follows, I believe, will be very exciting, so please wait and see."

She was very good at mobilizing the emotions of the audience, after all, she was a professional in this line of work.

Jun Wuxie didn't follow to the Eternal Ancient Hall, but stayed in the dojo. Only after two female protectors came out of the ancient hall did he leave the dojo and quietly followed them.

Soon, he followed the two female protectors to a delicate courtyard.

They took out two sets of tea sets from the house, put in tea leaves, and poured in spiritual spring water.

"Are they brewing tea for those guys?"

He walked up carelessly, and the two female protectors couldn't help but be startled, then smiles appeared on their faces: "Wuxie, why did you run here?"

"I'm just wandering around." Jun Wuxie came to them, looked at the steaming teapot, and said: "It should be treasured tea leaves, right? It's really cheap for the people of the Ancient Holy Mansion. I think it's best to give them foot-washing water to drink."

"You little fellow." A female protector pointed at his forehead with her finger, and said: "No matter what, guests from afar, we can't lose our manners. People from the entire starry sky are watching."

"Senior Sister Wanqian, this little guy performed well just now. Do you think we should suggest that the elders give him the title of King of Arguments?" Another protector named Wan Xiruo said jokingly.

"Um, does this title seem very majestic?" Jun Wuxie responded with a smile, looking at the two teapots in front of him, and said: "Why are the teapots different? The number of matching teacups is also different?"

Wan Xiruo smiled and said: "This set of tea sets is specially prepared for guests, so the quantity is naturally different."

"I see." As Jun Wuxie spoke, he looked around at the surrounding environment, his eyes falling on the purple bamboo forest behind, and said: "The scenery here is really good, there's even a purple bamboo forest. It would be great if I could live here..."

When Wanqian and Wan Xiruo heard this, they couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction he was looking, and smiled: "You are now the treasure of our Eternal Ancient Academy, you can do whatever you want. It's just that there is no spiritual energy as rich as Gathering Spirit Peak here, which is not conducive to your cultivation."

Just as they turned around to speak, Jun Wuxie, at an extremely fast speed, quietly poured all the 'Saint Laxative Escape' into the teapot specially prepared for the people of the Ancient Holy Mansion and the Curious Wonders Tower.

"Wuxie, if you really want to live here, you can directly tell the Great Elder and let them guide the dragon vein to this place for your cultivation. It's just that this is our residence, aren't you afraid of being inconvenienced?"

They came back to their senses and said jokingly.

"What's inconvenient? The daughters of the cultivation world don't care about trivial matters, why bother caring about the distinction between men and women. However, I think this matter should be considered again, and a decision cannot be made hastily."

When Wanqian and Wan Xiruo heard this, they pursed their lips and chuckled.

"Okay, I won't disturb the two beautiful protectors from brewing tea here. I think the meeting has officially started, and I have to go and see. At a critical moment, I might be able to suppress the arrogant arrogance of the Ancient Holy Mansion."

After he finished speaking, he made a bye-bye gesture and left swaggeringly.

"This kid, why is he so strange today?"

Wan Xiruo muttered, always feeling that something was wrong.

"What's so strange, he wasn't someone who played by the rules in the first place, it's not surprising what he does."

Wanqian shook her head with a smile, and said with emotion: "What a peerless young man, his talent, temperament, and mind are all top-notch qualifications, and his future achievements are unimaginable. If he can leave this world, how far can he grow?"

… …

When Jun Wuxie returned to the Eternal Ancient Hall, the meeting here had already begun.

The Sleep King and the Great Elder sat at the table in the center of the hall, exchanging their opinions face to face, and the two middle-aged men from the Ancient Holy Mansion were recording beside them.

On the Eternal Ancient Academy's side, the Eighth Elder and the Ninth Elder were recording.

Fairy Qingyue broadcasted the entire process live, and would ask the Great Elder and the Sleep King some questions during the breaks in the meeting.

The Sleep King proposed to set the Heavenly Realm competition half a year later, but it was rejected by the Great Elder.

The Great Elder said that this time would require at least one year, and the Ancient Holy Mansion had previously stated that they were preparing to set it one year later. Now, suddenly proposing half a year was too abrupt and unacceptable.

The Sleep King was very tough, saying that this great era was different from the past, the situation was changing rapidly, and it was best to start the Heavenly Realm competition as soon as possible, determine the quota, enter the Heavenly Realm Secret Realm, and obtain the Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit.

The Great Elder and him engaged in a war of words, neither giving way.

"Sleep King, no matter what, half a year is absolutely unacceptable to my Wan Shi Ancient Academy! And you, Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion, don't use the ever-changing world as an excuse! Why don't you mention the agreement we reached back then? We agreed to open it to the outside world at the same time every epoch, but in this era, your Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion violated the agreement and cultivated students half a year in advance. Now, you want to set the Heavenly Position Competition half a year later. Aren't you just trying to take advantage of the short time our students have been in Wan Shi Ancient Academy, not enough time to grow, to increase your chances of winning? It seems that in this era, you are very unconfident, afraid of losing?"

Sleep King's face was ugly, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

After all, this is a live broadcast of the entire starry sky, and you must speak reasonably and based on evidence, otherwise people will think you are being unreasonable and become a laughing stock.

What Wan Shi Ancient Academy said is the truth. They did violate the agreement. Saying it publicly now is tantamount to throwing out a trump card.

"Hmph, saying that my Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion is afraid of losing, you are just being glib. Who is weak and who is strong, the results of several epochs are the best proof. As for the matter of cultivating students in advance, that is a special situation, and it can only be handled specially!" Sleep King reluctantly defended, and then said: "However, if your Wan Shi Ancient Academy feels that you have suffered a loss, then my Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion can meet your requirements and set the Heavenly Position Competition on September 1st next year, which is today next year. This is already the limit of benevolence and righteousness!"

Jun Wu Xie sneered. One year or half a year is determined by Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion. Have they considered the opinion of Wan Shi Ancient Academy?

Now they are actually saying benevolence and righteousness here, as if they are so noble, it is really extremely shameless!

"Does your Wan Shi Ancient Academy have any objections? Then, next, let's talk about the Heavenly Position Competition. My Ancient Mansion's intention is that both sides should each select fifty geniuses to conduct one-on-one duels. The loser is eliminated, and the winner can rest for a while, or continue to fight, until all fifty people on one side are defeated! After determining the final victory or defeat, according to the previous rules, the winner owns ninety percent of the Heavenly Position acquisition quantity, and the loser gets the remaining ten percent!"

"Fifty people is too many, I don't think it's necessary at all!" The Great Elder was very shocked in his heart. Sleep King dared to say fifty people, which shows how amazing the number of young supreme beings who have entered the legendary realm among their students is. Wan Shi Ancient Academy cannot compare in this regard, but he did not show it. He said without changing his expression: "Since the establishment of our two major forces, the most number of students who have ever dueled is thirty. I think twenty people are enough!"

"That is the standard of the past, and it does not apply to the present era." Sleep King squinted his eyes, pretending to be dozing off, and said: "This is an unprecedented great era. Whether it is my Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion or your Wan Shi Ancient Academy, the number and quality of geniuses invited should be far superior to previous epochs. Moreover, the number of Heavenly Position Dao Fruits in the Heavenly Position Secret Land is also far more than in previous epochs. If your Wan Shi Ancient Academy can't even select fifty young supreme beings, then what qualifications do you have to enter the secret land to obtain so many Heavenly Position Dao Fruits?"

"The Heavenly Position quantity competition is only to determine the victory or defeat, not in the number of geniuses who duel. I insist on selecting only twenty people to duel!"

The Great Elder did not compromise, and it was impossible for him to compromise.

Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion has gathered geniuses from the top nine ancient life stars, and is full of talents.

How many young supreme beings does Wan Shi Ancient Academy have?

If fifty people duel, Wan Shi Ancient Academy may have less than ten people who can pass the first round.

Then when it comes to the second round, it means that ten people have to face forty people from Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion, so how can they fight?

Sleep King was about to refute when the two Dharma protectors, Wan Qian and Wan Xi Ruo, walked in carrying tea.

"Let's have tea first, take a short break and then talk slowly. Please forgive us if we haven't entertained you well." The Great Elder said politely.

Wan Qian walked towards the Great Elder and others with tea and began to pour tea.

Wan Xi Ruo walked towards Sleep King and others.

"Well, let the old man personally pour tea for Elder Sleep King and others." Ri Sang Xing Ban Sheng didn't want to miss the opportunity to get close to the important figures of Tong Sheng Ancient Mansion. He quickly walked to Wan Xi Ruo, took the tray from her hand, and walked to Sleep King and others flatteringly, pouring a few cups of hot tea, personally handing them to Sleep King, and said with a smile: "Elder Sleep King, you have worked hard, please have some tea."

When Jun Wu Xie saw that guy being so attentive, and Sleep King holding his posture and nodding slightly, he took the teacup and took a sip. A strange smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
