The esteemed individuals above also remained silent, offering only evasive remarks or pleasantries when he called, devoid of any substance. He could only wait for everything to conclude.
Today, he once again watched the Nether Physician single-handedly wreak havoc.
Lin Xiao found the spectacle tiresome. The disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace had improved, but their progress was too slow, not even matching the Nether Physician's speed. To put it bluntly, after days of sparring, all their thirty-six sword techniques, seventy-two saber techniques, and over ten forms of unarmed combat… had been deciphered.
He could see that the Misty Immortal Palace disciples were indeed improving, but their vision was insufficient. It was the same old story… His gaze drifted to Wu Zongshen and Jian Chen'an.
Wu Zongshen remained as serene as ever, while Jian Chen'an was the polar opposite. If Wu Zongshen hadn't routinely clapped him on the shoulder, Jian Chen'an would likely be on the sparring stage by now.
"No! We can't let him look down on our Misty Immortal Palace!" Jian Chen'an roared.
This time, Wu Zongshen did not intervene. It was because the junior disciple who had previously defeated the Nether Physician had lost. This time, it took less than half an hour. Furthermore, after his junior disciple's defeat, the Nether Physician looked at them provocatively, primarily targeting him and Jian Chen'an. Only the two of them had reached the Divine Realm and were thus forbidden to participate.
"Then, how about this," Lin Xiao's voice echoed across the arena. He squatted, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and squinted at the two figures in the sparring ring, "I'll give you a hand."
"Give us a hand?" Jian Chen'an looked up at Lin Xiao, unsure of his intentions. Lin Xiao's words had abruptly stopped him; his impulsiveness vanished. This was the Northern Frontier, not the Misty Immortal Palace. Even within the Palace, success had always been determined by strength. This was a sparring session, a martial art. As a Divine Realm expert, victory was expected. If he didn't win spectacularly, it would be a disgrace. As for defeat? He hadn't even considered it.
He had seen through this Nether Physician, reducing complexity to simplicity. This level of skill made him invincible within the same realm, but ineffective against someone whose innate strength already surpassed his. However, he had to admit that the man's learning ability was extraordinary, something he had rarely encountered in his life. In just a few days, he had deciphered all the techniques of the Misty Immortal Palace, even those that had been simplified by their own understanding and interpretation. Was this the legacy of the Ning family? No wonder the Ning family and the Misty Immortal Palace had once fought tooth and nail, their strength evenly matched.
"I can help you by suppressing your power, allowing you to stand here and fight him as a peak Mingxin disciple, how about that?" Lin Xiao proposed. He had been feeling restless lately, which made him subconsciously seek amusement, and Jian Chen'an was precisely that amusement.
"This..." Jian Chen'an, who had already retreated from the arena, froze at Lin Xiao's words. He turned, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at Lin Xiao. This was an immense temptation for him! He could personally teach the Nether Physician a lesson; he could personally avenge all his junior disciples!
