The incident of Ling Feng and the other two being killed caused quite a stir at Yueyang Academy. Out of responsibility for the students, the Old Master exerted all his efforts to investigate, but ultimately no results were found.

With the secret kept by Ye Junqing and Tian Yunyi, the murderer, Wang Xiaoqiang, remained safe and sound.

Unable to uncover the murderer, this case naturally became a cold case.

After breaking through to Vajra Body Third Layer, Wang Xiaoqiang intensified his Qi Refinement, striving to break through to the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage before the final duel with Long Tian.

Although he couldn't use the opportunity to kill Long Tian, he planned to crush Long Tian with formidable strength, trampling the arrogant prince who stood high up on the ladder under his feet, shattering his self-esteem and confidence, leaving him trembling underfoot, making everyone in the Dragon Child Gang fear him, Wang Xiaoqiang.

Ye Junqing, knowing about the duel between Wang Xiaoqiang and Long Tian, provided her pills to him, while Tian Yunyi continuously supplied pills to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Thanks to the poems and paintings of Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Junqing, the business at Tian Family Pill Pharmacy thrived, and Wang Xiaoqiang willingly collaborated with Ye Junqing on artworks for the Tian Family Pill Pharmacy, which made their business booming and unstoppable.

With the help of these two women, Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base progressed rapidly. Advancing by leaps and bounds!

On this day, while cultivating, he once again had a strong premonition of a breakthrough.

He took out the remaining ten Superior Pills from the Sumeru Ring, placed them on the ground, and released 30,000,000 Spiritual Springs to absorb them...

Now, having broken through to Vajra Body Third Layer, his meridians and physical body's endurance had strengthened considerably, more than doubling his capacity to bear Spiritual Power, so he didn't worry about his body exploding from the energy,

Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck...

After satisfying the 30,000,000 Spiritual Springs, they divided and split into 60,000,000 Spiritual Springs, one thought, and the 60,000,000 Spiritual Springs poured into his body, bringing the total number of Spiritual Springs in his body to 90,109,600. As these 90,109,600 Spiritual Springs resonated together, Spiritual Energy surged and roared like a tsunami, gradually condensing into Soldier Aura, streaming towards the third Divine Weapon Embryo inside him on the verge of solidification,

The lightning-shaped Divine Weapon, after absorbing sufficient Soldier Aura, finally solidified.

Then, with a loud explosion, it dispersed, turning into Soldier Aura.

Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hands, Spiritual Power surged, and a lightning-shaped Divine Weapon condensed in each of his hands.

Above his head, another lightning-shaped Divine Weapon also condensed.

He had broken through to the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage!

In less than half a month, Wang Xiaoqiang advanced two levels, which would surely arouse suspicion, so after breaking through to the Third Soldier Realm, Wang Xiaoqiang released 30,000,000 Spiritual Springs outside his body, disguising his cultivation as the Second Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, to prevent others from questioning him excessively.

Half a month flew by, and the duel date with Long Tian had arrived. Early this morning, Wang Xiaoqiang went alone to the Tian Family Pill Pharmacy. As per their agreement, Tian Yunyi lent him pills equivalent to 100,000 Gold Coins.

Pills equivalent to 100,000 Gold Coins were truly sumptuous, almost all Superior Pills from Tian Family Pill Pharmacy were brought out. Wang Xiaoqiang packed this heap of high-grade pills into the Sumeru Ring,

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't tell Dai Yu about the duel with Long Tian, mostly out of fear of worrying her; hence, Dai Yu didn't follow. Knowing the situation, Ye Junqing and Tian Yunyi insisted on accompanying him for support, and Wang Xiaoqiang didn't stop them.

Thus, in the company of the two women, Wang Xiaoqiang headed straight for the plaza.

Some students had already gathered at the plaza.

A life-and-death battle is a major event rarely occurring at Yueyang Academy, destined to be incredibly spectacular, a spectacle not to be missed, so everyone had come early to watch the excitement.

Long Tian was already there with a group of princes, waiting, clearly eager to get rid of Wang Xiaoqiang, treating him as a thorn in their side, unsatisfied unless he was eliminated.

Long Yin was also present this time, though he appeared pale and haggard, presumably leading a miserable life after his demotion,

Ann Miaoyi was surprisingly also in attendance.

Before, when Long Yin was a prince, Ann Miaoyi already looked down on him. Now that Long Yin had become a common folk, Ann Miaoyi paid even less attention to him, not sparing even a glance.

Long Yin did not foolishly seek out Ann Miaoyi for conversation, feeling intensely resentful of her in his heart. He had lost his princely status for her, yet she showed not an ounce of gratitude.

What a heartless woman!

The group of princes and Ann Miaoyi all looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with hostile eyes, and when they saw the two very beautiful women following him, their expressions became unpleasant, especially when they realized one of them was the talented Ye Junqing, the men showed sour expressions,

As Wang Xiaoqiang walked closer, Long Tian smirked and said, "Kid, I thought you wouldn't dare to come!"

"Huh, Imperial Elder Brother, he... he actually advanced a level, to the Second Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage?" exclaimed a prince standing beside Long Tian, somewhat shocked.

Long Tian swept his Divine Sense over Wang Xiaoqiang and realized he was indeed at the Second Soldier Realm, which made his heart sink slightly, but his face remained unchanged, quickly dismissing any concerns. After all, he was at the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, a step ahead of Wang Xiaoqiang. He didn't think he could lose to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang advance another level in such a short time, Ann Miaoyi's expression became even more strained, thinking that Wang Xiaoqiang was too much of a Demon Spawn; if Long Tian failed to eliminate him today, allowing him to grow unchecked, he would become a major threat in the future.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who breaks promises," Wang Xiaoqiang also smirked at Long Tian, saying, "Did you bring the Gold Coins?!"

With a thought, Long Tian extracted 100,000 Gold Coins strung together from his Storage Ring, holding the heavy bunch in his hand, gleaming with a yellowish glow. The eyes of the present students could not help but be drawn, filled with envy.

"Did you bring the pills?" Although Long Tian's ultimate goal was Wang Xiaoqiang's life, pills equivalent to 100,000 Gold Coins were considerable, equaling his annual Offerings, representing substantial wealth to him.

"Of course." With his right hand, Wang Xiaoqiang pointed downwards, and with a thought, pills spilled out from the Sumeru Ring, piling on the ground.

Everyone's eyes gleamed at the heap of Superior Pills before them. Such resources would be incredibly advantageous for cultivation.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang bring out so many Superior Pills all at once, the princes and Ann Miaoyi were somewhat taken aback, unsure where he obtained them from.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang show the pills, Long Tian threw the 100,000 Gold Coins on the ground and said, "The Gold Coins are here; if you have the skill, come get them..."

Saying this, he stepped forward, through the crowd, to the center.

Then he gestured, and an Administrator from Yueyang Academy came forward, holding a booklet, and opened it, saying to the two of them, "This is a Life and Death Pact. Once signed, any death or injury inflicted is self-responsible, with no liability on the other party..."

"Boy, come on, sign your name," Long Tian snatched the pact book from the Administrator's hand, handed it to Wang Xiaoqiang, and thrust a pen at him.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiaoqiang signed his name. Long Tian glanced at it, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's name sprawled across it, a look of satisfaction crawling across his face, before signing his own name as well. (To be continued.
