X-Dragon Era

Seeing that Xin Yun had actually arrived so late, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying didn't really mind, but the ten guys on the opposite side looked displeased, especially the one with silver hair, riding a Red Leopard, who was particularly unhappy.

Glancing sideways at Xin Yun in a twisted way, the guy riding the Red Leopard Dragon sneered, "Wow! Some people really think highly of themselves, making so many people wait for him. What arrogance!"

Upon hearing the other's sharp and harsh words, Xin Yun couldn't help but frown, intending to respond, but Yi Luo Xiang burst out first...

Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, Yi Luoxiang said angrily, "How can you speak like that? Isn't it still before the appointed time? You couldn't wait and came early, yet you blame others for coming late?"

Although she was filled with hatred, Yi Luo Xiang was still too naive; she didn't even know how to curse properly. Despite being full of indignation, her attempts at rebuke still came across as weak explanations, devoid of any intimidating presence, and certainly not enough to instill fear.

As expected, Yi Luo Xiang was both anxious and angry but unable to express herself properly, which amused the guy riding the Leopard Dragon. He mocked, "Oh! It hurts your feelings to hear him insulted! The man himself hasn't even retorted yet. Why are you so worked up? Have you taken a liking to him?

How shameless..."

Hearing him curse at her, Yi Luo Xiang opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word. She did have feelings for Xin Yun, but did that make her shameless? What did this jerk know? Did he know what had happened between them? Besides... she never offended him, so why should he curse at her?

Seeing that this guy not only mocked her with his acid tongue but even dared to insult Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun became furious and was about to charge over when unexpectedly... Yan Qingying stepped forward first.

Riding the dark-colored Phantom Spider Dragon, Yan Qingying floated to the center of the arena, turned around, extended her right hand with an icy expression, and coldly gestured with her fingers, challenging the foul-mouthed guy, "You... come out!"

Seeing this, Xin Yun was slightly stunned and then took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. Since Yan Qingying had already stepped up, he could only give the opportunity to her. After all... if it was Yan Qingying who took action, it would be a significant boost to the relationship between the two girls.

Since his rebirth, Xin Yun wasn't afraid of anything, except the possibility of Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying not getting along. Both were people he valued most, and Xin Yun really didn't want to see them upset with each other. After all... the three of them were meant to be together for a lifetime.

Of course, even though he was very fond of Yan Qingying, Xin Yun didn't harbor any inappropriate thoughts. A man shouldn't be too greedy. In this life, having Yi Luo Xiang's affection was more than enough for him. He should never let his desires inconvenience the most wonderful girl in the world.

On the other side, being pointed at and challenged with such contempt by a girl was something no man could tolerate. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, even if the opponent was formidable, retreating was absolutely not an option.

With a snort, the guy riding the Purple Flame Leopard Dragon stepped out and entered the arena. Seeing this, the others quickly retreated to the stands.

Watching the approaching figure, Yan Qingying coldly said, "Having a foul mouth isn't your fault, but not everyone is someone you can insult as you please."

"Tsk..." The Silver-haired Chief sneered, disdainfully curling his lip, "I'm insulting you now. What are you going to do about it?"

Facing the provocation, Yan Qingying's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she said coldly, "I can't kill you here, but since you have insulted the most important person to me, I will make your life worse than death!"

Upon hearing Yan Qingying's words, the audience at the edge of the arena simultaneously gasped. No one expected that a typical challenge match could turn so cruel just because of a single sentence.

Yi Luoxiang's delicate body trembled violently upon hearing Yan Qingying's words. With a complicated expression, she looked at the ice-cold Yan Qingying on the field. Her feelings for this girl were really too complex; she was both her best friend and her greatest enemy.

On the field, in the face of Yan Qingying's threats, the Silver-haired Chief instantly became enraged. Amid a thunderous roar, the Purple Flame Leopard Dragon threw back its head and let out a sky-shaking roar. Accompanied by the wild bellowing, a purple-red blaze burst forth from the Leopard Dragon's body.

"Good heavens! It's actually Silver Two Stars! How did he train?" Watching the rising purple flames, the spectating students exclaimed loudly, being able to externalize energy was a hallmark of the Silver rank, and such a surging release definitely belonged to Silver Two Stars.

Seeing the arrogant and proud look of the Silver-haired Chief, Xin Yun quietly smiled. If it had been any other opponent, there might have been no way to contend with him in terms of realms, but this fellow was unlucky enough to have encountered Yan Qingying!

It had been a year and three months since Yan Qingying enrolled, and she was now eleven years old. Strictly speaking, she really shouldn't be in the First Year Section, but rather studying in the third or fourth year sections.

However, Yan Qingying's situation was quite special; she had always been hiding herself, never undergoing basic training, so under Xin Yun's arrangement, ten-year-old Yan Qingying had entered the First Year Section meant for eight-year-olds.

This Silver-haired Chief was indeed strong but that was only relative to children around the age of eight. Against Yan Qingying, a girl who was two to three years older than him, comparing realms was truly foolish.

In the past three months of rankings competitions, since Yi Luoxiang and Yan Qingying didn't need to participate, they both focused on their cultivation, especially with the worry of being ousted from the top spot driving them to train with fervent dedication.

Just a few days ago, Yan Qingying finally broke through to Fifteen Stars and reached the realm of Sixteen Stars. The so-called Sixteen Stars is actually just Silver Six Stars, but... it sounds more vivid and specific to call it that...

Sixteen Stars versus Twelve Stars, the gap is too great. Although it seems like there is only a difference of four stars on the surface, the reality is that the difference is huge, whether in quality or quantity.

A simple explanation:

The unranked cultivation is actually the process of creating a dragon. One condenses nine dragons within the Dragon Ball, with each dragon representing one star. Once nine dragons are condensed, fusing them into one represents Ten Stars, and after that, upon comprehending the dragon's unique abilities, one advances to the Bronze rank.

After entering the Bronze rank, one continues to condense dragons. The fusion of nine dragons represents One Star, and on this basis, one continues to condense. Each time one completes the fusion of nine dragons, another dragon appears in the Dragon Ball. After condensing nine more dragons and fusing them again, one reaches Bronze Nine Stars, which is Xin Yun's current realm.

Simply put, the fusion of nine dragons is the unranked Ten Stars. Nine such fusions result in Bronze Nine Stars, and fusing these nine Bronze Nine Stars yet again results in Bronze Ten Stars. After comprehending the abilities of the Silver rank, one enters the Silver rank status.(To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
