In the audience, Lin An listened to the discussions around him about Chu Nan, his expression somewhat displeased.

He had been in the Ancient Wilderness Forest for some time, and only found out about Chu Nan challenging Chu Hai after returning to the Sect. He intended to support Chu Nan, but Chu Nan had been in seclusion and unreachable.

Lin An had no choice but to come and watch the battle.

"I think we shouldn't wait any longer, let's just declare Senior Brother Chu Hai the winner."

"That's right, there's no way Chu Nan is qualified to stand on the same stage as Senior Brother Chu Hai."

"Maybe Chu Nan is trembling under his covers right now... hahaha!"

Hearing these slanders against Chu Nan, Lin An could no longer bear it; Chu Nan was definitely not someone to flee from a fight.

He stood up angrily: "All you bootlickers, shut your mouths! Chu Nan won't run away; he will definitely come!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin An, wondering who this fool was to speak for Chu Nan, thinking it was truly foolish.

"Big Beard, Chu Nan overestimated himself challenging Senior Brother Chu Hai, can't we say that?"

"That's right, it's not scary to be weak, it's scary to be unaware of it. Challenging Senior Brother Chu Hai with your mere Martial Arts Realm, ridiculous!"

"This time, Chu Nan is a coward. I bet he won't be able to show his face in Cyan Mountain County from now on."

Everyone ganged up on Lin An with their words, and even though Lin An was persuasive, he couldn't hold his own against so many people.

He tried to argue back, but there were just too many of them, and he was so anxious he turned red with frustration.

"Big Beard, why aren't you saying anything? Is it because you think we're making sense~?"

"Chu Nan, that trash doesn't even need Senior Brother Chu Hai to act. I could make him eat dirt with one hand!"

Lin An trembled with anger upon hearing this, cursing: "Bastards, I'll tear your mouths off!"

"Big Beard, you're not a man if you don't do it. Come on, give it a try."

Faced with Lin An's threats, everyone was even more contemptuous, even provoking him face to face.

Lin An could no longer hold back, and just as he was about to act, someone said in surprise: "Look, that fool really came."

Swish, swish, swish!

All eyes turned abruptly to the Life and Death Duel Arena entrance, only to see Chu Nan striding in with an air of ease.

There was no sign of fear or nervousness.

Beside Chu Han, Shangguan Hong couldn't help but say: "Patriarch Chu, who would have thought Chu Nan has such poise."

Was it Chu Han who felt the worst about Chu Nan being praised? He didn't want to hear a single word of it.

Only Lin An jumped up with joy: "I knew Chu Nan was no coward!"

Chu Hai stared coldly at Chu Nan, his eyes holding an imperceptible hint of killing intent and greed.

Yet Chu Nan didn't even glance at Chu Hai, instead openly staring at Chu Han, his fists clenched with hatred.

If it weren't for Chu Han's guidance and implication, how would Chu Hai dare to steal his Treasure Blood?

Moreover, he was the most likely person to know his parents' whereabouts.

Their gazes met, and if looks could kill, they would have slaughtered each other countless times.

Chu Nan felt a rising expectation for revenge: "If I can kill Chu Hai here, his expression would be priceless!"

At this moment, Chu Nan ascended the stage. Upon seeing this, Chu Hai sneered: "Chu Nan, who would have thought you actually came. Isn't the family disgrace enough that you came to embarrass yourself at the Sect too?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan remained very calm, even smiling: "I can beat you to death, why wouldn't I dare to come?"

In a flash, the whole venue was in an uproar. Chu Nan was truly arrogant; he was on the brink of death and still dared to speak such big words. How did he not know how to die?

Chu Hai merely sneered upon hearing this, full of disdain.

To ensure everything, he not only advanced to the seventh level of the Spirit Pill but also trained in Yellow-rank Martial Skills from both the Sect and the family.

He even carried a low-grade Spirit Martial weapon!

Originally, Chu Han wanted him to carry a mid-grade Spirit Martial weapon, but he refused.

Because two days ago, Chu Hai had asked a Yang Wheel Realm elder from the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect to secretly check Chu Nan's cultivation and found it only at the first level of the Spirit Pill.

Such a level was no different from an ant in his eyes, easily defeated.

"Chu Nan, I wanted to bring you back to the family and let you live comfortably, but now it seems you're undeserving. I'll break your limbs on the spot, ensuring you'll never escape my grasp!"

With that, Chu Hai's aura skyrocketed in an instant, his robe rustling, and a terrifying cultivation at the seventh level of the Spirit Pill burst forth. He brandished a long spear Spirit Martial weapon, his momentum overwhelming!

Facing such a powerful aura, all the disciples took a sharp breath.

No wonder he was a True Disciple, such intimidation was unmatched!

"Senior Brother Chu Hai is indeed formidable!"

"I bet one move, just one move, and Chu Nan will fail."

"One move? I think half a move is enough."

Compared to everyone's shock, only Chu Nan chuckled softly and shook his head: "Chu Hai, it's been a month now, yet your cultivation progresses no faster than a turtle."

"Open your eyes wide and watch!"

Chu Nan stepped towards Chu Hai, his aura surging upwards rapidly. What was a Spirit Pill at the first level now soared like a giant wave to its peak!

Chu Hai's eyes widened, his mouth twitching as he quivered: "Five levels of the Spirit Pill, how is that possible!"

The audience was stunned. A month ago, Chu Nan was at the eighth level of the Martial Arts Realm, and now he directly broke through to the fifth level of the Spirit Pill!

Chu Han suddenly sat up, looking at Chu Nan with disbelief, while hiding a hint of venom and killing intent.

Prefect Shangguan Hong spoke at this moment: "This Chu Nan, truly remarkable~"

Chu Han awkwardly forced a laugh, then raised his voice: "A Martial Artist's cultivation should be steady and solid. Advancing so many levels in just a month is surely shallow; in my view, Chu Nan's future is already ruined."

The witnessing disciples suddenly understood, snapping back from their shock and looking at Chu Nan with disdain.

"What's the use of forcefully upgrading his cultivation? It's still just the fifth level of the Spirit Pill, not a match for Senior Brother Chu Hai."

"That's right, let's watch how Senior Brother defeats him!"

Only Lin An quietly clenched his fists, thinking to himself: "Chu Nan, seeing you this confident, Chu Hai must not be your match!"

Chu Hai, deeply shocked, decided not only to break his limbs but also to abolish his cultivation entirely.

He would make sure Chu Nan could do nothing but be a Blood Slave!

Chu Nan's eyes also flared with fighting spirit, the tension between them was so palpable that everyone could see they were about to engage in a life-and-death battle!

Unexpectedly from the audience, a Cyan Mountain Sword Sect elder suddenly spoke: "Both disciples, wait a moment. The Sect Leader has graced us with his presence to personally watch, all disciples rise to greet him!"

Wow!

All the disciples, elders, and deacons stood up at once, even Prefect Shangguan Hong and the patriarchs of the ten great families including Chu Han all stood to pay their respects.

The Cyan Mountain Sword Sect Leader, second only to the Supreme Elder in the entire Cyan Mountain County, deserved everyone's respect.

Chu Nan looked up to the sky, waiting for the Sect Leader to arrive.

"Greetings to the Sect Leader!"

Before long, a gray figure slowly floated down from the sky, seating himself at the chief seat under everyone's reverent gazes.

Seeing this person, Chu Nan couldn't help but shudder, thinking in shock: "Isn't that the grey-robed elder from the Scripture Pavilion? He's actually the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect Leader!"
