“BANG!”

After a dull cras.h.i.+ng noise, the masculine man was flung backward for meters and began to puke blood on the ground.

The entire scene was silent as all eyes were fixated on Ling Xian. All of them had traces of shock.

One, they were shocked at his decisiveness. Two, they were shocked at his capabilities.

The moment the masculine man attacked, everyone had judged his cultivation level already – a cultivator of the ninth realm. This cultivation level wasn’t too impressive, but because this was the division for those of the meditational level, he stood out.

Perhaps it was because of this the person acted so arrogantly as if he was the ruler.

Yet after this person’s attack, Ling Xian ended up slapping him back with one hit. Why wouldn’t everyone feel shocked?

The most surprised out of all of them was, without a doubt, the man who was just knocked out.

When he clashed against Ling Xian, he felt a wave of strength that was impossible to resist and he lost all attempts to fight back. A ninth realm cultivator who was just knocked out by one move made it obvious just how powerful his opponent was.

“You, you are of the tenth realm?”

The giant man had looks of awe and fear in his heart.

After he spoke, shock flashed across everyone’s face.

He is a Heaven’s Favorite of the undefeatable realm. No wonder he managed to defeat him in one move.

“Yes, I should’ve known. This section is only open for those of the meditational level. Other than a cultivator of the tenth realm, who else can knock out a ninth realm cultivator?”

“Hehe, too bad for this guy for provoking a Heaven’s Favorite. I want to see how he can still act arrogantly!”

Everyone opened their mouths to speak as they stared at Ling Xian with respect. The way they were peeking at the other man was full of pity.

That person’s cultivation wasn’t ordinary. He could be doing whatever he wants in this area. Yet against a Heaven’s Favorite with tenth level Qi, he was nothing.

“I told you not to provoke me. Yet you wouldn’t listen.”

Ling Xian glared at him. Then, before his fearful eyes, he arrived before him.

Immediately, the masculine man’s eyes flashed with fear. After that one encounter, he realized that he was no opponent of Ling Xian’s.

He also could tell that the person before him was extremely decisive and might kill him.

Therefore, he clenched his teeth and said, “It was my fault today. Can you let me go this once?”

“Killing someone like you will only dirty my hands.”

Ling Xian spoke softly. The first statement made the man excited. But what he said next made the man full of fear.

“You are escaping the death sentence but you cannot escape my punishment. You behaved irrationally and rudely. if I don’t teach you a lesson, many others will be bullied by you.”

Then, Ling Xian softly lifted his right leg and stepped on the man’s chest.

Though this move was soft and slow, seemingly like the brush of the spring wind, the moment it landed on the man’s chest, his entire face turned white and he puked out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Retch!

The man’s face was white as sweat began to pour. He felt like this leg weighed the same as the Tai Mountain.

“I gave you many opportunities and you did not treasure them. You only have yourself to blame.” Ling Xian was expressionless. He did not show a trace of remorse.

This person first bugged him and then threatened him. He acted very arrogantly and did not think anything of Ling Xian, why wouldn’t Ling Xian be mad?

The masculine man acted without reasons and it was obvious that this wasn’t the first time he did something like this. It was obvious that before he did it to Ling Xian, he had done similar things to many low leveled cultivators. There was no need to pity someone like him!

Because of this, Ling Xian strengthened the force he applied on the man’s chest. Every time the pressure increased, the man’s face whitened another shade.

“Ehem, ehem, I have done you wrong. Please be kind and forgive me this once.”

The man was sweating from head to toe. He felt like he couldn’t breathe from the heavy leg that weighed a ton on his chest.

“Don’t worry. I told you, I won’t kill you. But you have to be punished. Or else how will you remember today’s lesson?” Ling Xian’s expression was calm and he continued to increase the force of his leg.

Immediately, a mouthful of blood splattered out and a rib of the man broke.

However, because Ling Xian was calculating the amount of pressure he applied, the bones didn’t hurt his organs and thus wouldn’t result in death. However, the heart retching pain made his face whiten and he screamed.

“AH!”

The man shrieked in pain and his body couldn’t help but tremble. n.o.body knew if he was trembling from the pain or from the shock, or perhaps both.

“Let me go. Please. Let me go.” The man began to yelp in pain as he begged Ling Xian.

At this moment, he was full of regret. He wasn’t regretting his decision to bully others, he was regretting his blind eyes and how he provoked someone so capable.

“You have no backbone.”

Uttering out these words, Ling Xian lifted the leg that was on top of the man’s chest. He continued, “Remember, if I ever catch you hurting others again, you better start watching out for that head on your neck.”

Then, he no longer paid attention to him and turned to the counter.

Killing someone like this only dirtied his hand.

Now that Ling Xian had let him go, the man sighed in relief. He felt like he just took a stroll before the gate of h.e.l.l; his body was quivering from fear.

As much as he was scared, his heart was full of hatred. The way he stared at Ling Xian was of utter hatred.

Everyone there was staring at Ling Xian as well. But they weren’t full of poison like the masculine man was, they were looking at him with respect and admiration.

Some low leveled cultivators who had been bullied often had already started daydreaming of one day becoming like Ling Xian and using their capabilities to stop all oppression.

Feeling everyone’s admiring gazes, Ling Xian remained calm. This wasn’t the first time he experienced such an atmosphere. This was not a big deal to him anymore.

He slowly walked before the counter and handed over his token. However, the woman behind the window didn’t accept it right away.

Because this woman was currently very slow in the mind as she gawked at Ling Xian. She was probably stunned by his capabilities and crispness.

“Please hurry up. I am in a rush.” Ling Xian frowned.

“Ah, yes, I will start now.”

The woman gasped and her face flushed with redness. She quickly took over the token and said, “I wonder what you want to exchange for?”

“The first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique,” Ling Xian uttered out.

After helping the Array of the Astonished G.o.ds transform, he earned 100,000 contribution points. He then gained 2,000 more from missions and around 20,000 from discussing crafts with Dong Fang Bi.

In other words, he had a total of 122,000 points. Sadly, even with this high volume of contribution points, he could only get the first chapters of the Shang Qing Technique.

What could he do? The Shang Qing Sect was far too greedy. The first chapter only needed 1,000 points, but the second needed 5,000, the third needed 25,500, and the fourth needed 125,000.

In other words, with what he had, he could only get the first three chapters.

“What, you want to exchange for the first three chapters of the Shang Qing Sect?”

Perhaps this situation was far too astonis.h.i.+ng, the woman forgot the rules of the Hall of Exchange and exclaimed loudly.

Immediately, the entire place became silent.

Then, the entire place exploded. Everyone was screaming and expressing their shocked feelings.

“What! He said he wants the first three chapters of the Shang Qing Technique?”

“Oh my G.o.d, did I hear it wrong? A meditational leveled cultivator wants the Shang Qing Technique?”

“Unbelievable. Even though he is only asking for the first three chapters, to a cultivator my level, the required points are an astronomical number. How is he so wealthy?”

Everyone chimed in and shouted. Awe was all over their faces.

Everyone knew what the Shang Qing Technique was. It was the greatest inheritance of the Shang Qing Sect and it was ranked number one in the exchange program!

To everyone there, or rather, to everyone inside Shang Qing Sect, they all wanted the Shang Qing Technique in order to improve themselves and fly high. However, the could only imagine. The astronomical number of points required made this all a dream.

Especially to the pupils of the meditational level, they wanted the Shang Qing Technique even when they’re asleep. Giving up on getting all 12 chapters, even getting the first one was a difficult task.

Yet before their eyes, a meditational leveled pupil wanted the first three chapters. Why wouldn’t everyone here be astounded?

At least based on what they have seen, n.o.body has had the ability to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique while at the meditational level.

As much as they felt surprised, they were also jealous. The Shang Qing Technique needed contribution points. In other words, Ling Xian was rich. Rich enough to have gold flowing out from him.

The masculine man, in particular, was shooting out lights with his eyes. He wanted to steal all of Ling Xian’s contribution points.

“I have caused a disturbance.”

Listening to all the discussions around him, Ling Xian frowned and glared at the woman.

If this woman didn’t speak out loud about what he wanted, there wouldn’t be such a turmoil here.

Yet here they were… when he leaves the Hall of Exchange, many people would be thinking of stealing from him.

This was something obvious. He had already displayed his capabilities, but the temptation was so huge that someone would definitely make a move.

Ling Xian shook his head helplessly. With his capabilities he didn’t need to fear these people, however, he couldn’t reveal his original self as upper management would stop him.

“Sorry, I… I am sorry.”

The woman realized what she had done. Her face turned redder and she was very apologetic.

“Oh well. Since you said it, apologizing is useless now.”

Ling Xian sighed. “Hurry up and make the exchange.”

Nodding, the woman shot Ling Xian another apologetic look and placed his token into a treasure. Then, 301,000 points were deducted from his total.

Next, a golden box emerged, emitting a dazzling amount of gold light.

Immediately, heat flashed across Ling Xian’s eyes.

Everyone else’s eyes were also full of pa.s.sion now.

At this moment, they were now flooding with awe and ill intent.

They were in awe because Ling Xian actually made the exchange. They had ill intent because they were all thinking of stealing the Shang Qing Technique and his contribution points away from him.

“I am really sorry. I was far too surprised just now and subconsciously said it.” The woman handed Ling Xian the box, her face full of shame and worry.

“Oh well, it wasn’t intentional.”

Ling Xian waved his hand and placed the gold box and a key into his storage pouch. He then walked to exit the Hall of Exchange.

Now that he was moving, other than those who knew their own worth, the rest of the people followed.

Sensing everyone’s ill intent, Ling Xian’s lips curled up into a cold smile.

“Come at me, I sure want to see who can steal something that is mine?”
