Chapter 4048 - Is He Ximen Long Xiang?

Up until now, the most shocking revelation during the Seven Mansions Feast was that the law of earth was not Wang Xiong's strongest law. Previously, everyone had been impressed by how profound Wang Xiong's comprehension of the law of earth was; he was extremely skillful. Based on the reactions of his peers in the Frozen Mountain Manor, it was obvious that none of them knew that Wang Xiong had such a high comprehension of the law of earth as well, proving that he had been hiding his strength.

Wang Xiong's law of earth left such a deep impression on everyone that whenever he was mentioned, everyone would inevitably think of his invincible barrier that was like a tortoise shell. As such, they even secretly gave him the nickname 'Wang Ba1'.

When Wang Xiong suddenly switched to the law of metal when fighting Yang Qian Ye, it was only natural that everyone thought he had cracked under the pressure. After all, they were unaware that his comprehension of the law of metal was even more profound than that of the law of earth. With the law of metal, he managed to turn the tide. With ten moves, he suppressed and injured Yang Qian Ye with the law of metal.

After 20 moves, Lin Dong Lai was forced to intervene because Yang Qian Ye was already severely injured.

However, despite the state he was in, Yang Qian Ye's gaze remained unyielding and piercing.

Wang Xiong said with a hint of admiration, "You have my respect, Yang Qian Ye. However, you're no match for me."

After Wang Xiong finished speaking, he took a swig from his wine gourd as he returned to the people of the Frozen Mountain Manor, staggering like a drunkard.

Meanwhile, the opinion of the young disciple of the Frozen Mountain manor about Wang Xiong changed again. The few outstanding young disciples felt rather ashamed. Not only was Wang Xiong about the same age as them, but they did not think they could defeat him even if he only used the law of earth, which was not his strongest law.

Among everyone from the Frozen Mountain Manor, only the leader of the entourage was aware of this.

Meanwhile, everyone discussed among themselves animatedly. Most of them began to feel optimistic about Wang Xiong ranking in the top three.

"How unexpected! Wang Xiong's strongest law is the law of metal!"

"Wang Xiong is so strong!"

"I take back my words! I think Wang Xiong has a chance of ranking in the top three!"

On the contrary, the expressions of Lin Yuan, Tuo Ba Xiu, and Luo Yuan, who were ranked higher than Wang Xiong for now, darkened. They did not consider Wang Xiong a match for them previously. They assumed he was only as strong as Yang Qian Ye and Ximen. However, after watching his fight with Yang Qian Ye, they realized that Wang Xiong was not any weaker than them. Moreover, who knew if this was the extent of his strength? There was a chance that he was still holding back.

'Is it a trend for strong people to dress sloppily?' Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly as he glanced at Wang Xiong. He was reminded of another sloppy middle-aged man, Ke'er's third uncle in her past life. He was Xia Jie, the third master of the Xia clan, a supreme-rank clan in the Divine Offering Land.

When Duan Ling Tian first met Xia Jie, he did not know much. After all, he had not even ascended to the Devata Realms at that time. However, after coming to the Realm of Gods, he came across a scroll of supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land in the Cloud Peak faction's library. With that, he also learned that Xia Jie was a Supreme God. Not only that, but there were only a handful of people in the Xia clan who were a match for him.

….

Since Yang Qian Ye failed to defeat Wang Xiong, both of them remained in 8th and 9th place. Since Wang Xiong had just finished the fight, his turn was skipped.

Lin Dong Lai called out, "Participant number seven, please enter the battlefield."

Everyone watched as a young man walked out leisurely among the people from the Howling Flames Sect. After entering the battlefield, he looked at the people of the Marionette Villa and said, "Participant number five. Ximen."

After Ximen entered the battlefield, Lin Yuan smiled faintly and asked, "I'm curious. Ximen is your surname, right? So what's your name?"

Ximen stared at Lin Yuan with a piercing gaze as he said, "My name? You'll have to defeat me to find out."

Lin Yuan cocked an eyebrow before he nodded. "Very well."

Not long after the fight started, Lin Yuan injured Ximen with his first strike. After another three moves, Lin Dong Lai was forced to intervene and rescue the severely-injured Ximen.

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Now, can you tell me your name?"

Ximen took a deep breath before he wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. Before walking away, he said, "Ximen Long Xiang."

"Ximen Long Xiang?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "That's a nice name."

Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard the familiar name. During his time in the Flying Dragon Sect, the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect were engaged in war in the Imperial War Realm in hopes of producing Emperors of Gods in their respective sects. At that time, he had heard about the outstanding prodigy from the Tai Yi Sect, Ximen Long Xiang. At that time, he had killed many disciples from the Tai Yi Sect on the King Battlefield. Then, Ximen Long Xiang retaliated by killing many disciples from the Flying Dragon Sect as well.

After becoming a Lord of Gods, Ximen Long Xiang had entered the Lord Battlefield. At that time, he had killed a Lord of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect as well.

At some point, people began to compare Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang. In the beginning, many people thought he was no match for Ximen Long Xiang. However, he naturally did not care about what people said. Since he had heard Ximen Long Xiang's name countless times, it naturally left an impression on him.

'Is he Ximen Long Xiang from the Tai Yi Sect? Or just someone with the same name from the Marionette Villa? Wait…'

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian recalled the time when he had Zhen Ping Fan in the Imperial War Realm's Peace City. At that time, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect had brought a Silver Marionette Elder from the Marionette Villa to Peace City as well. This meant that the Tai Yi Sect had a connection with the Marionette Villa.

'So they're the same person? Since the Tai Yi Sect has connections with the Marionette Villa, it's not surprising that Ximen Long Xiang joined the Marionette Villa. I really didn't expect him to become an intermediate Lord of Gods so soon. His strength is on par with that of Yang Qian Ye, but Yang Qian Ye only progressed so much because of the Supreme Divine Mansion. I don't think Ximen Long Xiang entered a Supreme Divine Mansion as well, right? He must have had a fortuitous encounter…'

Although Duan Ling Tian had never met Ximen Long Xiang, he knew when Ximen Long Xiang broke through and became a rudimentary Lord of Gods.

'He must have had a fortuitous encounter to become an intermediate Lord of Gods in such a short time. I wonder if he came across it accidentally or if it's a chance given by the Marionette Villa…'

At this time, Ximen Long Xiang, who sensed Duan Ling Tian's gaze, looked over. Following that, he said through Voice Transmission, "Duan Ling Tian, when I was in the Tai Yi Sect, my only regret was that I didn't get to fight with you in the Imperial War Realm. Previously, I planned to make up for my regret during the Seven Mansions Feast. I was rather confident about beating you, but your progress was beyond my expectations. However, I'll visit the Pure Yang Sect to challenge you sooner or later."

"I'll be waiting for you," Duan Ling Tian replied. He really did not expect to meet Ximen Long Xiang, the most outstanding prodigy of the Tai Yi Sect, during the Seven Mansions Feast.

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian felt a gentle vibration in his spatial ring. When he took a look, he discovered one of the Soul Pearls had shattered.
