If it were someone else, they might have agreed without hesitation.
However, Wang Ruoxie slightly smiled and said, "Cloud Heaven Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, is a top sect force in the East Victory Kingdom. However, I've already made plans in my heart to head to Inquiry Sword Peak and join the Celestial Sword Sect after the clan meeting."
He knew the sect forces of the East Victory Kingdom quite well.
Especially the so-called Upper Three Sects: Celestial Sword Sect, Beast Taming Sect, Cloud Heaven Sect, among which Celestial Sword Sect is acclaimed as the number one sect in the East Victory Kingdom, with tens of thousands of disciples, and it's even said there exists beings of the Celestial Human Realm in the Celestial Sword Sect.
As the name implies, the Celestial Sword Sect primarily focuses on sword cultivation, and most of its disciples are sword cultivators practicing swordsmanship.
Wang Ruoxie was mainly cultivating the Sword Dao in his previous life, and his swordsmanship realm was not low either.
Besides, martial cultivators choose to join a sect for two reasons: one is the guidance from elders specialized in cultivation within the sect, and the other is the cultivation resources that a sect offers, which far exceed that of ordinary forces.
Wang Ruoxie naturally doesn't need guidance from others in cultivation, but to rapidly enhance his cultivation, he must acquire ample cultivation resources.
Therefore, the Celestial Sword Sect, the number one sect in East Victory Kingdom, became his primary target.
"Celestial Sword Sect?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes narrowed, yet some showed a look of doubt.
In the entire East Victory Kingdom, who doesn't want to join the Celestial Sword Sect? However, joining the number one sect is not easy, especially since one must be a bloodline martial cultivator, which alone blocks countless young talents from entry.
Additionally, Celestial Sword Sect is not like other sects; aside from needing bloodline power, one must possess a natural talent for sword cultivation, or else unless one's bloodline is exceptionally strong, only then might they have a chance to join.
Though Wang Ruoxie's displayed aptitude was truly extraordinary, even possessing innate divine power, without bloodline power, it would be impossible to join the Celestial Sword Sect.
"Absurd."
Wang Ruokun sneered, acknowledging that Wang Ruoxie's cultivation now surpassed his own, but so what? No matter how strong ordinary martial cultivators are, they can never compare to bloodline martial cultivators.
"Seventh brother, although our Cloud Heaven Sect ranks at the bottom of the Upper Three Sects and our strength can't compare to the Celestial Sword Sect, our criteria for selecting disciples are relatively lenient. You might want to reconsider."
Wang Ruolin voiced his persuasion again.
"There's no need. I believe I can join the Celestial Sword Sect."
Wang Ruoxie smiled back in return.
"Brother Lin, since he doesn't appreciate the offer, don't persuade him anymore. Our Cloud Heaven Sect doesn't need such arrogant individuals, and his future achievements will certainly be limited without bloodline power. If he joins Cloud Heaven Sect, he might even affect you."
Zhao Ting glanced coldly at Wang Ruoxie and said.
Hearing this, Wang Ruolin shook his head but didn't say anything further.
"Now we proceed to the second test, martial arts competition."
At this moment, Wang Minghan addressed the crowd: "The rules for the competition are simple, it's a free challenge, but no heavy blows are allowed; it's just to the point."
"Seventh brother, dare you fight me?"
Wang Ruokun coldly said to Wang Ruoxie.
Although his cultivation was only in the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, two minor realms lower than Wang Ruoxie's, and his physical strength was not as great as his opponent's, he believed his bloodline power and cultivation and martial techniques of Yellow Level Upper Grade proficiency gave him confidence to defeat Wang Ruoxie.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Wang Ruoxie replied calmly, stepping into the center of the training ground.
With a cold smile in his eyes, Wang Ruokun also stepped forward, standing opposite to Wang Ruoxie.
"Seventh brother, having great aptitude means nothing if you lack enough resources and opportunities; you still can't grow. Besides, without bloodline power, you can never compare to a bloodline martial cultivator. Now, I'll show you the might of bloodline power."
As Wang Ruokun finished speaking, a frenzied aura erupted from him.
The next moment, behind him appeared a phantom figure of a wild tiger with five blue rings, representing Yellow Level Fifth Grade bloodline power.
"You will quickly understand that bloodline power can aid in battle and enhance combat strength but cannot decide victory or defeat."
Wang Ruoxie calmly looked at Wang Ruokun and said leisurely.
"Hmph, then try taking this punch of mine."
Wang Ruokun sneered coldly, activating the True Qi within him to execute the Yellow Level Upper Grade martial technique "Tiger Subduing Fist."
Instantly, the wild tiger phantom behind Wang Ruokun seemed to pounce towards Wang Ruoxie.
Even though Wang Ruokun only possessed the power of four oxen in body strength, with the addition of bloodline power and Tiger Subduing Fist, this punch unleashed the power of at least ten oxen.
The most crucial point is that Tiger Subduing Fist is a Yellow Level Upper Grade martial technique that possesses special potency, as seen with threads of True Qi swirling around Wang Ruokun's fist.
Once hit, the destruction could easily severely wound someone at the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, which shows the might of martial techniques.
Staring at the incoming fist, Wang Ruoxie's expression remained utterly calm, then he simply swung his own punch, not using any martial technique, seemingly not even using True Qi, just a completely ordinary punch.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, the two fists clashed forcefully.
"Crack…"
Suddenly, the sound of something breaking echoed, followed by Wang Ruokun's muffled groans.
Pale-faced, Wang Ruokun stared at Wang Ruoxie, feeling his whole arm's bones nearly shattered, totally unable to continue fighting.
"You… how is your strength so overwhelming?"
Wang Ruokun said, somewhat in disbelief.
He thought his punch, infused with all his strength, not only utilized bloodline power and martial technique but also drove his True Qi to the fullest.
He assumed even if he couldn't severely injure Wang Ruoxie in one hit, he could easily defeat him.
Yet, unexpectedly, Wang Ruoxie effortlessly swung a mere ordinary punch and defeated him.
In fact, everyone, including Wang Minghan, Gao Hongbo, and Xu Lin, three Late Stage Energy-Introducing Realm cultivators, looked equally stunned.
Although Wang Ruoxie was in the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm and possessed the power of fifteen oxen, he did not use bloodline power, True Qi, or martial techniques, so how could he so effortlessly defeat Wang Ruokun, who exploded with all his strength?
"You've lost."
Wang Ruoxie naturally had no interest in explaining to Wang Ruokun, uttering a sentence before turning to rejoin the crowd.
Suddenly, Wang Ruokun's eyes flashed with cold killing intent, abruptly raising his left hand, unleashing a sharp sleeve arrow at high speed towards Wang Ruoxie's head.
"How dare you…"
This unexpected scene caused Wang Minghan's face to change dramatically.
"No…"
Lady Chi was even more frightened, exclaiming in despair.
Everyone around was also stunned into silence, unaware that they would witness such fratricide during the clan meeting at the Marquis's Mansion.
Many sighed inwardly, wondering if this Seventh Young Master, who suddenly rose to prominence, was about to perish under the sleeve arrow just as he began to bloom?
