The Penglai Immortal approached and sized up Wang Xiaoqiang from top to bottom, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base was just at the Mid Golden Core Stage, he was quite taken aback. He scanned the cultivation bases of everyone around, a cold smile appeared on his face, "Tianpeng, you really are a joker. Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base is the lowest among all the people here. How could he possibly have injured your two top disciples??"

The Penglai Immortal's sarcastically charged statement made everyone feel awkward and amused. Jiang Tianpeng was even harboring a shame so unbearable it was as if there was nowhere to hide. That's right, Wang Xiaoqiang was merely at the Mid Golden Core Stage, yet he managed to injure a disciple at the Late Golden Core Stage and another at the Nascent Soul Early-Mid Stage. How embarrassing that would be if word got out,

"Ancestor, this, you, you don't know, this kid..." Jiang Tianpeng pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and stammered, "He, he can conceal his cultivation base?"

"Conceal his cultivation base?..." The Penglai Immortal scoffed, "Is there such a secret technique under the heavens that I haven't heard of? I've only heard of advanced movement techniques that can hide one's figure, but never a cultivation technique that can hide one's cultivation base..."

This statement seemed even more like sarcasm directed at Yun Xiu's Divine Escape Technique, causing Jiang Tianpeng to hang his head in shame. Indeed, as the Penglai Immortal said, there were no such Cultivation Technique Manuals on Earth that could conceal one's cultivation base.

"Enough, let this matter rest here; tomorrow is the day of the Sect's grand competition," the Penglai Immortal said gravely, "Before the grand competition, I don't want any incidents to occur, especially not involving disciples of the Mount Hua Sword Sect or the Taiyi Sect..."

After the Penglai Immortal had spoken, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Jiang Tianpeng grumbled bitterly and cast a vicious glance at Wang Xiaoqiang, revealing his unwillingness. In actuality, he was unaware that the arrival of the Penglai Immortal had saved his life; had he continued to clash head-on with Wang Xiaoqiang just now, his death would have been certain.

"Little Qiang, let's go!" Ye Xiaoman, seeing the matter resolved, immediately came over to pull Wang Xiaoqiang away.

Just as Ye Xiaoman was leading Wang Xiaoqiang with her left hand and Lin Xianshu with her right out of the woods, Yun Xiu, clutching his wounded abdomen, sought instructions from Jiang Tianpeng, "Master, this Wang Xiaoqiang is not ordinary. What do we do next?"

"We'll find another way!" Jiang Tianpeng gritted his teeth, a crafty look flickering across his face.

"Little Qiang, you're amazing! Today has truly been an eye-opener for me." Ye Xiaoman held tightly to Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, reminiscing about how he had just struck to injure someone, and she sighed with genuine admiration.

Lin Xianshu also cast a glance at Wang Xiaoqiang, the expression of keeping others at a thousand miles distance on her face softened a bit, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but Jiang Tianpeng seems to have it out for you. During these days in the Penglai Immortal Sect, be a bit more careful."

Wang Xiaoqiang could tell that Lin Xianshu was a woman who appeared cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Now, she was even kindly warning him, so he responded with a slight smile, "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Lin. I will be careful."

Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang, although possessing a profound and unpredictable cultivation base, did not show any arrogance or disdain towards her warning, Lin Xianshu felt a good impression forming and gave him a deep look before turning her face away.

"To show my gratitude for Fellow Daoist Lin's help, I'd like to invite you both to dinner tonight, what do you say?" Wang Xiaoqiang said as Lin Xianshu turned her face away, his gaze sweeping over her exquisite figure, then he spoke up.

Lin Xianshu shook her hand, "It was nothing worthy of mention. If anything, it was you who stood up for us. We should be thanking you..."

Ye Xiaoman saw Lin Xianshu being polite to Wang Xiaoqiang, her rosy little mouth slightly opening in surprise. Knowing that even when facing fellow disciples, Lin Xianshu usually spoke no more than three sentences, it was unexpected for her to be so courteous with someone like Wang Xiaoqiang. Surprised, and a little jealous, Ye Xiaoman interrupted the two, saying, "Alright, it's just a meal, isn't it? I'll treat you tonight. Let's go to the best restaurant in Penglai Immortal Sect."

That evening, the three of them did indeed dine at the Immortal Gathering Pavilion, but in the end, it was Wang Xiaoqiang who paid the bill. After dinner, Wang Xiaoqiang and the two women exchanged contact information before going to sleep.

As Wang Xiaoqiang went to sleep that night, the beautiful face of Lin Xianshu kept appearing in his mind. Back in Sanmiao Village, he had thought Xia Guifang and Little Xu Xiaoya were beautiful, but he had not anticipated meeting beauties like Xu Qingxue and Jing Xueyan. Upon arriving in River City, he realized not only were there women like Xu Qingxue and Jing Xueyan, but also there were sensual beauties like Qiao Hui and ethereal ones like Qiao Zhi. Later, after going abroad, Wang Xiaoqiang tried all sorts of women, Western girls like Jenny, Xia, and Mikoer, each with a different flavor. Then, Wang Xiaoqiang tasted the utterly unique essence of his Spirit Servant Little Bai, whose allure probably surpassed that of any other temptress in the world. Later, Wang Xiaoqiang acquired Ye Qingcheng and experienced dual cultivation with her, realizing for the first time the heights of pleasure attainable with a woman. He never imagined, however, that there could exist an even more alluring and soul-shattering beauty like Lin Xianshu, and what's more, this unbelievably beautiful woman had an exceptionally high cultivation base. Now, what Wang Xiaoqiang desired most was to engage in dual cultivation with Lin Xianshu. He knew that cultivating with a woman of higher cultivation base could increase his own cultivation base much faster than with one of lower cultivation base, and with the thought of Lin Xianshu's charming appearance, this lecherous Wang Xiaoqiang could hardly contain his eagerness.

"Mm, I have to find a way to win Lin Xianshu over," Wang Xiaoqiang resolved determinedly. After a short session of cultivation, Wang Xiaoqiang fell asleep.

The next day.

After breakfast,

Wang Xiaoqiang joined the other nine disciples and Elder Liu to the Penglai Immortal Sect's square to participate in the competition.

In the square,

there were three large fighting stages set up.

The rules of the Sect's grand competition were somewhat different from the internal Sect competition. Generally, each Sect would select two disciples to compete. With three great Sects, that totaled six disciples. These six would then draw lots to pair off for the bouts, with members of the same Sect swapping if they were matched up.

In the first few matches, there was no need for Wang Xiaoqiang to compete, so he merely watched as a bystander.

As a bystander, Wang Xiaoqiang was unwilling to stay idle. He first watched a match between fellow disciples, then a match involving Ye Xiaoman, followed by a match of Zhao Wushuang. After three rounds, it was Lin Xianshu of Mount Hua Sword Sect's turn, and Wang Xiaoqiang immediately positioned himself below her stage.

Lin Xianshu faced off against a hefty man from the Penglai Immortal Sect.

This hefty man was at the Late Golden Core Stage, comparable to Lin Xianshu's cultivation level.

However, the hefty man had a pig-like face resembling "Pig Brother," and as soon as he got on stage, he ogled Lin Xianshu lecherously, "Miss Lin, don't worry, I'll go easy on you. You can rest assured... I know my own strength..."

The big man's words elicited laughter from the crowd but angered the high-ranking members of the Penglai Immortal Sect.

"Enough talk, take this!" Lin Xianshu felt that speaking with such a man was a desecration of her person, so without further ado, she made her move.

The Ink Snow Sword vibrated with a hum, turning into a shadowy figure that slashed towards the fat man's fleshy face.

"Ah..." The fat man exclaimed in shock, raising his chubby hands in front of him and summoning a large sword, as big as his own body mass, into the air.

Boom!

The Ink Snow Sword clashed with the great sword and then both parted ways.

This bout was merely a probing exchange, with neither party exerting their full strength.

The fat man retracted his great sword magic treasure and revealed a lecherous smile to Lin Xianshu, just as he was about to say something, Lin Xianshu once again commanded her sword to attack.

Seeing that his opponent did not give him time to speak, the fat man felt rather disheartened and immediately drove his great sword towards her with a thunderous crash.

Boom!

The second clash between the Ink Snow Sword and the great sword was still an evenly matched contest.

"Hehe, Lin Meimei, it's rare for us to be so evenly matched in cultivation base..." the fat man said.

Lin Xianshu narrowed her eyes, and the Ink Snow Sword suddenly shook, producing countless sword lights that looked like snowflakes, which materialized from the sword body and rushed towards the fat man in a whoosh.

Ah?

Although the snowflake-shaped sword lights seemed pretty, they were incomparably sharp. Suddenly swarming like a hive of bees, the sight startled the fat man into a state of panic. He shook the great sword in his hand once, then again, creating dozens of sword shadows forming a spiraling pattern.

The next moment, the snowflake sword lights were all sucked into the spiral of sword shadows, crackling chaotically.

"Haha~~ Lin Meimei, sorry, I've broken your Snow Flower Sword Glow," said the fat man in a slick tone. Despite his greasy manner, he was actually a disciple with real strength; otherwise, the Penglai Immortal Sect wouldn't have chosen to showcase him at this time.

"Witness the sword," Lin Xianshu exclaimed delicately, shaking the Ink Snow Sword, which instantly produced another flurry of Snow Flower Sword Glow, larger, more numerous, and faster than before. Like meteors chasing the moon, they pursued the fat man relentlessly.

"Hmph hmph..." Seeing the repeated technique from his opponent, the fat man scoffed twice, stirring the great sword in his hands in front of him again, instantly forming another vortex of sword shadows that resembled a black hole, creating a massive suction force.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The Snow Flower Sword Glow was pulled into the sword shadow vortex, creating a snap and crackle.

Seeing that the Snow Flower Sword Glow could not pose a threat to the opponent, Lin Xianshu's eyebrows twitched, and she shook the dark green long sword in her hand. Suddenly, another flurry of Snow Flower Sword Glow emerged, but this time they were dark green, flickering in and out of visibility, half-hidden and half-visible. With a point of the Ink Snow Sword, they rushed towards the fat man like a host of phantoms.

The fat man's eyes widened dramatically, his pupils contracting.

As the dark green snowflake sword lights flew towards him, they were completely invisible to the naked eye. Startled by the surprise attack, the fat man could only stir his great sword in front of him more frantically out of instinct...

Crackle, crackle!

A series of loud noises ensued.

Then...

Ah~ah~ah~ah...

The fat man's body twisted in agony as if he had been stung by a swarm of hornets, and then blood blisters started appearing all over his body.

He had been wounded by the invisible snowflake-shaped dark green sword lights.

Witnessing this scene, the crowd below let out a collective gasp:

"Such a formidable move!"

"This stroke is so vicious!"

"It matches her character well, I like it!"
