Three months passed quickly, and Wang Ruoxie, Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin finally arrived at Kunxu Land.

During these three months, they traveled while cultivating, and it didn't seem tedious at all.

Moreover, Wang Ruoxie witnessed the cultivation speed of these four from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty.

In just three months, they elevated their cultivation from the First Layer of the Essence Pill Realm to the Fourth Layer, advancing three sub-realms.

Most importantly, they crossed a level, from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Essence Pill Realm.

Therefore, their strength increased more than a hundredfold compared to before.

Although Wang Ruoxie did not slack either, his cultivation was still at the Third Layer of the Essence Pill Realm.

It wasn't that his aptitude was inferior to Nangong Han and the others, but his cultivation resources couldn't compare to those of these geniuses from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, not even on the same level.

Additionally, each time he gained a sub-realm, he had to strip away four chakras from within and integrate them into his Essence Pill, making his cultivation much more difficult than others of the same realm.

So, although he diligently cultivated for three months, he still hadn't broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm, reaching the Middle Stage.

However, it wasn't as if he had made no progress at all; his current cultivation had reached the peak of the Third Layer of the Essence Pill Realm, just a step away from the Fourth Layer.

It was estimated that it wouldn't take long before he could also charge into the Fourth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm.

After entering Kunxu Land, the five headed towards the venue of the trial tournament.

Two hours later, they arrived at an ancient city named Ruins City.

Upon entering Ruins City, Wang Ruoxie noticed that the pedestrians around all possessed at least Early Stage cultivation of the Meridian Passage Realm; even numerous were in the Essence Pill Realm.

Moreover, they were mostly young, with the oldest not exceeding fifty years.

Evidently, these people shared the same purpose, all here to participate in the trial tournament.

Soon, they arrived at a vast square.

A dense crowd had already gathered here, heads of people everywhere, like a sea of humanity.

"Nangong Han, you all finally arrived."

At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged abruptly.

Nangong Han and his group turned to look and saw a handsome young man in a blue robe walking towards them.

"Ling Pojun, you actually came too."

Nangong Han and his companions' eyes slightly narrowed when they saw the young man.

Hearing the name Ling Pojun, Wang Ruoxie's pupils contracted, finally appearing.

Back then, Ling Liang had said Ling Pojun was the top genius among the younger generation of the Ling Family, immensely powerful.

Back then, Ling Liang had challenged Ling Pojun, but despite having the same cultivation, Ling Liang couldn't withstand even one move and was defeated.

This sufficiently demonstrated that, like Nangong Han and his group, Ling Pojun was a top-tier genius capable of easily challenging higher-ranked opponents, surely not low on the Myriad Dragons List.

"It's you."

Ling Pojun arrived before the group and his gaze fell on Wang Ruoxie, a glint of coldness in his eyes.

"It's me."

Wang Ruoxie nodded slightly, Ling Pojun had evidently learned through the Soul Lamp that he was the one who killed Ling Yu.

"Do you two know each other?"

Nangong Han looked between the two, asking in surprise.

"We didn't know each other before, but we do now."

Ling Pojun said aloofly.

"You might not know this, Brother Ling, but Brother Wang is like a lifesaver to us."

Nangong Han said to Ling Pojun: "Previously, in the Blue Moon Kingdom, we heard of an ancient relic known as the Blue Moon Manor. We went to seek opportunities, but unexpectedly..."

Nangong Han recounted everything that had happened at Blue Moon Manor to Ling Pojun.

After hearing Nangong Han's words, Ling Pojun's gaze fell back on Wang Ruoxie, saying: "Quite some means, no wonder my younger brother Yu fell at your hands."

With Ling Pojun's words, Nangong Han and his companions fell into a slight daze, then looked at Wang Ruoxie in a state of shock.

"Did you really kill Ling Yu?"

Nangong Han turned to Wang Ruoxie, asking.

"Indeed, he wanted to kill me, so I killed him instead. It's as simple as that."

Wang Ruoxie nodded calmly, replying.

"But while you are still alive, my younger brother Yu is dead."

Ling Pojun stared at Wang Ruoxie coldly, speaking deeply.

"Ah... Brother Wang, you were too impulsive."

Nangong Han sighed lightly, saying.

After saying this, his body stepped back a few steps as if to distance himself from Wang Ruoxie.

Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin also looked at Wang Ruoxie with strange gazes, their previous eagerness diminishing, replaced by a hint of coldness.

Wang Ruoxie wasn't surprised by Nangong Han and his companions' reactions, or rather, he had never truly expected them to consider him as a friend.

He was well aware that people like Nangong Han, proud and arrogant descendants of noble families, wouldn't genuinely treat others with sincerity.

It was for this reason that he never truly sought friendship with these people from the beginning.

"Brother Ling, with your current cultivation power, your ranking on the Myriad Dragons List should be much higher than before, right?"

Nangong Han approached Ling Pojun, smiling.

"Not long ago, my cultivation reached the Fifth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm, and my ranking on the Myriad Dragons List rose from 137th to 76th."

Ling Pojun nodded with pride, saying.

"Brother Ling is indeed a standout among the younger generation of our Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, entering the top 100 of the Myriad Dragons List."

Dongfang Qiong said with a bright smile toward Ling Pojun.

"Brother Ling, you didn't come to the Eastern Domain to participate in the trial tournament, did you?"

Ximen Yao also commented.

"My main purpose for coming to the Eastern Domain this time is to avenge my younger brother Yu."

Ling Pojun looked at Wang Ruoxie with cold killing intent, saying.

"Brother Ling, I've heard that in Kunxu Land, especially before the trial tournament begins, private fights and killings are strictly prohibited."

Bai Yinyin said toward Ling Pojun.

"No matter, I'll participate in the trial tournament with you. By then, I won't need to hold back anything and can easily obliterate him."

A cold smile flashed in Ling Pojun's eyes as he spoke.

"Ling Yu wanted to kill me before, but I killed him instead. Later, Ling Liang came to kill me for revenge, but I killed him too. Now, you say you want to kill me. I just wonder if the one who dies in the end will be you as well."

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently, speaking to Ling Pojun.

"Ling Liang was a waste, unable to withstand even one of my casual moves. Dead means dead."

Ling Pojun sneered disdainfully: "If you think killing him is enough to contend with me, you're foolish."

"Too bad, in my view, you don't even measure up to Ling Liang."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled mockingly, retorting.

"Ignorant fool, you'll have your moment of arrogance. After the trial tournament begins, it will be your end."

Ling Pojun said coldly.
