Jiang Xie.

A genuine Wuwang.

At this moment, he was crouching in front of the Tiegu Sect’s mountain gate, his face filled with collapse and despair.

He had originally planned to complete his mission and return home early to sleep, but after an entire night had passed, he couldn’t even break through their defensive array.

Very tragic.

Also very helpless.

Jun Changxiao leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, and said: “Tired yet?”

Jiang Xie’s gaze flared with anger as he said: “Boy, if you have the guts, come out here and face this king.”

This king?

That form of address was quite arrogant.

Could he be…

“Correct.”

The system said: “This person is a Wuwang, his strength is unfathomable. If the host goes out, you’ll be beaten into a pile of crap by him.”

Tsk tsk.

The Demon Fiend Sect truly thought highly of him to send a Wuwang.

Jun Changxiao grinned and said: “This seat is standing right at the gate. If you have the ability, break through the array and come in.”

The opponent was a Wuwang—he definitely wouldn’t go out.

“Boy!”

Jiang Xie clenched his fists tightly, his gaze cold and somber as he said: “When this king breaks through the array, I’ll tear you into ten thousand pieces.”

Truly worthy of being Jiang the King of Hell.

Once he entered mission mode, just the look in his eyes alone was extremely frightening.

Unfortunately, he could only make threats from outside—he simply couldn’t get in.

“Creak.”

Jun Changxiao ignored him and directly closed the gate.

He first went to the first and second floors of the Training Tower to train for two hours, then began circulating the Yijin Jing to cultivate.

After breaking through to Second Rank Wuzong, he could clearly feel that although the speed of absorbing spiritual energy had increased, strengthening the spiritual energy within his spiritual core had become much slower.

“Even with Qi Gathering Pills supplied, being able to break through to Third Rank within a year would be quite good.”

As Jun Changxiao murmured this, he took out a Wushi Pill with a perfectly round luster.

He had obtained fifty portions of medicinal ingredients from Ma Yunteng, and on the way back to the sect, he had already refined them all.

“For disciples who have reached peak Wutu, with this kind of pill, breaking through will become very easy and will save a lot of time in self-comprehension.”

If Xiao Zuiji and Ye Xingchen had been supplied with Wushi Pills when they were stuck at peak Wutu, their current cultivation levels would definitely be even higher.

This was the principle of predecessors planting trees so successors could enjoy the shade.

Jun Changxiao summoned Li Qingyang and said: “Go compile statistics—how many disciples in the sect have currently reached peak Wutu?”

“Sect Master.”

Li Qingyang said: “In total, there are sixty-seven peak Wutu disciples.”

Truly a qualified internal affairs manager, always keeping track of fellow disciples’ cultivation levels like the back of his hand.

“That’s quite a lot, not enough to distribute.”

Jun Changxiao said: “I’ll need to go get more medicinal ingredients to refine.”

Boom!

From outside, another booming sound came.

Sect Master Jun, who had originally planned to make a trip to Huyang City, frowned and said: “That guy can’t get in, but blocking the gate means I can’t get out either.”

He could use sound transmission techniques to notify the Fine Rain Hall members in Huyang City, but he had to find a way to resolve that guy called Jiang Xie.

How to resolve it?

This was a very big problem.

Jun Changxiao didn’t believe he could defeat a Wuwang even with the help of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

If he used the Unstoppable Blade, using it against one person seemed somewhat wasteful.

“Headache.”

Jun Changxiao sat in his study, rubbing his temples.

The system said: “Even if the host could resolve that Wuwang, the Demon Fiend Sect will definitely continue sending strong experts to harass.”

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Strength.”

If he had Wuwang cultivation, wielding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, how could he fear the Demon Fiend Sect!

“Ahh!”

Just then, a sound rang out.

Jun Changxiao looked up and saw the fire dragon lying in its nest lazily yawn, then awaken from its ‘hibernation.’

“This little fellow finally woke up…”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Suddenly, a surge of scorching flames erupted, not only enveloping the fire dragon but also instantly incinerating the small nest, while the temperature in the room rapidly skyrocketed!

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao reacted with godly speed. Without a word, he rushed over, picked up the little creature enveloped in flames, then jumped out through the open window.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Having just arrived in an open area, the flames swirling around Little Dragon had already surged to two or three meters high!

Fortunately Jun Changxiao was its master and could ignore the flame temperature; fortunately he carried it out quickly, otherwise the study would have been burned down.

“My heavens!”

“Such a huge mass of flames!”

“Could it be the Sect Master is practicing fire-attribute martial techniques?”

Passing disciples who saw the massive wave of flames erupting from Jun Changxiao’s hands immediately looked up with envy and admiration.

The truth?

The flames were erupting from Little Dragon and had nothing to do with him at all.

Arriving at the small training ground in the inner courtyard, Jun Changxiao hastily tossed the little creature in the central position, then retreated several steps, murmuring: “For no reason at all, how did it just start spewing fire?”

The system said: “It should be evolving.”

“Evolving?”

The system explained: “Special fierce beasts, after each hibernation, will begin evolving, and their strength will also increase considerably.”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes immediately brightened.

Having spent so much money to hatch this fierce beast, if it became even stronger through evolution, that would naturally be the most satisfying thing!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The scorching flames continued to intensify.

The temperature of the inner courtyard became scorching and dry as the fire waves surged upward.

Although Su Xiaomo didn’t know what was happening, she hurriedly returned to her side room and hung the freshly washed uniform outside the training ground.

Seeing this, Li Fei and the others naturally wouldn’t miss this excellent clothes-drying opportunity, so they all sprang into action.

In a short time, ropes were strung all around the training ground, hung with uniforms, bedding, and even white underpants!

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

My contracted beast is evolving here, and you’re actually using the flames it’s releasing to dry clothes—can you be a bit more serious!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The scorching flames continued to erupt unrestrained.

At a glance, it looked just like the large bonfire lit during yesterday’s celebration party.

“If it had awakened yesterday, it could have saved some firewood.”

Jun Changxiao murmured.

The fire dragon was enveloped in flames, continuing to burn for several hours until nightfall, when the scorching flames finally began to subside.

“The evolution is ending.” The system said.

Jun Changxiao’s gaze flickered with anticipatory light, looking forward to what changes his contracted beast would have after evolution!

Gradually.

The flames receded from their initial two or three meters height to become very small.

Little Dragon’s silhouette could also be clearly seen—just from its physique alone, it was much larger than before!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Shortly after, the dragon’s head emerged. With each breath through its two nostrils, the surrounding flames were drawn in.

The dark night, as the flames gradually diminished, returned from crimson red to normal.

“Roar!”

Little Dragon, having completed its evolution, raised its head with an angry roar, and the dragon’s cry immediately echoed above the Tiegu Sect.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Xie, who had just thrown two ineffective punches, furrowed his brow and said: “Could this Tiegu Sect actually have a sect guardian beast?”

The dragon’s cry startled the disciples.

They emerged from their side rooms one after another and saw standing on the small training ground a half-meter long, snake-like, fire-red fierce beast!

“This is…”

Su Xiaomo’s mouth twitched as she said: “Little Dragon!”

Li Fei clutched his head and said: “How did it wake up, how did it get bigger again!”

Tian Qi collapsed and said: “That huge mass of flames—could it have been released by it?!”
