Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

As soon as Ximen Bin finished speaking...

Everyone looked at Luo Tianxing.

This Ximen Bin actually wants to challenge Luo Tianxing.

He was a few years older than Luo Tianxing, and his strength had already broken through to the fourth-grade Core Formation Realm for quite some time.

Luo Tianxing, however, appears to be only at the late stage of the Core Formation Realm.

How could he possibly accept that?

This is what I wanted to do in this kind of situation.

Did he deliberately challenge Luo Tianxing to embarrass him?

Today's banquet.

This was a celebration banquet marking the victory of Shangguan Wuqing's faction in the struggle against Chen Lei's faction.

Chen Lei's faction was forced to withdraw from the Wilderness Night Watch in disarray.

Ximen Bin, as Chen Lei's disciple, challenged Luo Tianxing and won, thus humiliating Shangguan Wuqing.

This is a slap in the face to Li Xianghe today.

If Luo Tianxing doesn't accept the challenge, he will also lose face.

He always benefits no matter what.

"Of course, I am a few years older than Lord Luo, which might be considered bullying. If Lord Luo is unwilling, then so be it," Ximen Bin continued.

In the main seat.

Li Xianghe remained silent.

Everyone knew that Simon Bin must have been instructed by Chen Lei to cause trouble at his welcome banquet.

He has already made the offer.

Whether or not to accept the call depends on how you handle it.

Luo Tianxing could have refused, but Ximen Bin had already made it clear that he was a few years older than Luo Tianxing, so if Luo Tianxing didn't accept, that was fine too.

However, in terms of momentum, they were a step behind.

Today's banquet has a small hiccup, making it less than perfect.

Since Li Xianghe has come to take office today, their faction has already bowed down before even fighting.

I always have this illusion that I'm not as good as others.

Simon Bin's actions are not easy to criticize.

They've come all out of the ordinary, bringing gifts and wanting to have a couple of contests at your banquet to liven things up.

That makes sense.

You cannot refuse directly.

In this situation, Li Xianghe chose to give the decision-making power to Luo Tianxing.

As the master, he wouldn't interfere.

If Luo Tianxing wants to fight, then accept; winning or losing doesn't matter.

The worst that can happen is that we lose.

If they didn't want to fight, they refused. Chen Lei's disciples could challenge them regardless of their age.

So what if they lost?

What's wrong with refusing?

Everyone looked at Luo Tianxing, waiting for his decision.

Luo Tianxing stood up, patted his robes, and said calmly, "Alright, Lord Li's welcoming banquet is indeed too monotonous with just singing and dancing. Let me have a duel with Lord Ximen to liven things up for everyone."

Luo Tianxing sneered inwardly; Ximen Bin had a good plan.

She thought he was sure to beat her.

Little did they know that this challenge was a double-edged sword.

Winning might make him lose face, but losing would be even more embarrassing.

After all, he was older and he was the one who issued the challenge first.

Ximen Bin thought he was still in the late stage of Core Formation.

Unfortunately, thanks to the resources he accumulated through these achievements, he has already broken through to the peak of the Core Formation Realm, reaching the level of a half-step Grandmaster.

At the same level, Luo Tianxing didn't think he was weaker than him.

Even if Ximen Bin breaks through to the Perfect Core Formation Realm first, as long as I can draw with him today.

He's the one who's embarrassing himself.

Those present saw that Luo Tianxing had agreed.

I immediately became interested.

Luo Tianxing chose to accept the challenge.

This is preparation for a battle against someone of a higher level.

You may lose in terms of realm, but you cannot lose in terms of spirit.

Let's see who wins this battle.

Ximen Bin won, achieving his goal, and subtly humiliated Shangguan Wuqing and Li Xianghe at the banquet.

If Ximen Bin loses, Chen Lei will become a laughing stock.

They came here specifically to cause trouble, but ended up getting slapped in the face.

Luo Tianxing stepped out of his seat and bowed to Li Xianghe, who was in the main seat.

Li Xianghe nodded.

Ximen Bin also came out and bowed to Li Xianghe.

Li Xianghe said calmly, "A duel is fine, but we'll stop when we've reached our limit."

The tone was calm.

But it also carries a warning.

Today is his home turf.

If Ximen Bin dares to use excessive force in the fight, he shouldn't blame me for being ruthless towards him.

"Of course," Simon nodded.

Then, looking at Luo Tianxing, he said, "Lord Luo, since we can't fight on the ground, why don't we go up into the sky and fight? Whoever is knocked to the ground first loses."

"Okay," Luo Tianxing agreed.

The lakeside square of the mansion is large, but now a banquet is being held there.

The battle fluctuations of a fourth-grade Core Formation Realm expert at their peak are extremely terrifying.

Fighting on the ground could send the aftershocks flying and overturn all the banquet tables in this square.

It would be better to fight directly in the air.

Anyway, a fourth-rank rank person can fly long ago.

It doesn't affect anything; you can still perform freely in the air and give it your all.

The two slowly ascended into the air.

After standing tens of meters apart in the air, Ximen Bin sneered and said, "Lord Luo, be careful."

As he spoke, the aura of a perfect fourth-grade Core Formation Realm expert emanated from him, and a terrifying pressure spread outwards, causing many experts below the fourth grade present to have solemn expressions.

Ximen Bin has been at the peak of the fourth-grade Core Formation realm for several years and has been accumulating spiritual power. It is estimated that he will have another year or two.

Then you can step into the realm of a third-grade grandmaster.

No wonder he dared to challenge Luo Tianxing.

However, Luo Tianxing, who is only at the late stage of the fourth-grade Core Formation Realm, has a very small chance of winning the competition.

Gu Chen felt the oppressive aura emanating from Ximen Bin.

His spiritual power is estimated to be able to extend at least seven or eight hundred meters, which is very close to the level of one thousand meters for a third-grade Grandmaster in the early stage.

Moreover, the amount of his true essence was at least dozens of times greater than his own.

The enhancement he received from his cultivation level was also incredibly significant; now, he had no chance of winning against him.

Below, Qiu Jiu glanced in Gu Chen's direction, waiting for his senior brother to finish teaching Luo Tianxing a lesson.

It's his turn to make a move.

Today, these two brothers are determined to make Gu Chen and Luo Tianxing lose face in public.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Simon Bin.

Luo Tianxing remained calm in the air, showing no fear whatsoever.

He unleashed his cultivation aura, revealing himself to be at the peak of the fourth-grade Core Formation realm, stepping into the realm of a half-step Grandmaster.

Moreover, his cultivation level was extremely stable.

It's definitely not as simple as just breaking through to the fourth-grade Core Formation realm, because his divine soul's outward projection distance is already over five hundred meters, which is comparable to that of Ximen Bin, a master who has been at the fourth-grade Core Formation realm for several years.

They are only two or three hundred meters apart.

This level of difference.

The impact on their combat capabilities is minimal.

It all comes down to who has mastered the more powerful martial arts and techniques.

Today's battle was quite interesting.

"Fourth-grade Core Formation Realm Perfection!" Feeling the oppressive aura that was not much different from his own, Ximen Bin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Wasn't Luo Tianxing supposed to be in the late stage of the fourth-grade Core Formation realm? How did he suddenly reach the peak?

Judging from his appearance, he is not just at the beginning of the perfect realm, but has already accumulated a very deep foundation. If he is two-thirds away from breaking through to the third-grade grandmaster realm, then Luo Tianxing has already covered one-half of the distance.

Without any special opportunities, this state would be something that would take at least two years to achieve after breaking through to the peak of the fourth-grade Core Formation realm.

Luo Tianxing has been hiding his true strength for the past few years.

He had just stepped forward to challenge me, and I immediately accepted, hoping to trick him.

That's truly a profound thought.

The situation today is difficult to handle.

If he can't beat Luo Tianxing in this battle, even if it ends in a draw, he will still lose face.

Gu Chen, Tie Yangtian, and Gongsun Yuan smiled upon seeing this.

They already knew that Luo Tianxing had broken through to the Perfect Core Formation Realm.

After taking down He Teng, they also cracked another smuggling case involving Japanese pirates from an island nation.

Shangguan Wuqing personally committed the crime on behalf of Gu Chen, Luo Tianxing, and Gongsun Yuan.

The massive amount of resources obtained were accumulated by combining the credit from the previous crackdown on Liu Xun, the senior brother of the mining gang.

This directly enabled him and Gongsun Yuan to break through a minor realm.

Because their official positions were limited by their cultivation levels and they couldn't be promoted, they exchanged all their merits for rare resources to break through their cultivation realms.

The resources they acquired not only enabled them to break through their cultivation levels, but also stabilized them.

The Divine Dynasty's hatred for the Japanese pirates from the island nation actually exceeds that for the cults within its borders.

When the Divine Dynasty is cracking down on cults, it can completely wipe out low- and mid-level cult forces, but it will adopt a certain balancing policy towards top-level cult forces.

As for those Japanese pirates from the island nation.

The Divine Dynasty will definitely try to destroy them as soon as it gets the chance.

After all, one is a foreign robber and thief, and the other is a criminal gang within their own territory.

They need to be distinguished.

These island nations constantly covet the territory of the Divine Dynasty, and the Japanese pirates who frequently smuggle supplies into the Divine Dynasty will never be let go once captured by the Divine Dynasty; they will be eliminated whenever an opportunity arises.

Therefore, the reward for cracking smuggling cases involving island nations is even greater.

Domestic criminal gangs and cults are merely the dark side of the country and need to be eradicated, but sometimes it's necessary to leave a spark to allow the light to shine through.

This will make the common people grateful to the government of the divine dynasty.

Therefore, the rewards have a certain focus.

The rewards from the two Japanese pirate smuggling cases brought Luo Tianxing and Gongsun Yuan considerable wealth.

In addition, the recent case involving the Blood Soul Cult in Zhenshi County provided them with another batch of resources to improve their cultivation level.

In terms of cultivation level, Luo Tianxing was not much different from Ximen Bin, who had broken through several years earlier.

"Surprised?" Looking at Ximen Bin's pale face, Luo Tianxing smiled and said, "Sorry, this is beyond your expectations."

"That's true. You fellow disciples all prefer to fight against those of lower cultivation levels than yourselves. You lack confidence when facing those of the same cultivation level." Luo Tianxing mocked without any politeness. "Indeed, people from your sect can't even beat those of lower cultivation levels. Now that you're facing those of the same cultivation level, isn't it even more difficult?"

Luo Tianxing's words.

This made many of the guests at the banquet burst into laughter.

They naturally knew what Luo Tianxing meant.

Previously, Chen Lei's sixth disciple, Wen Lingtian, and fifth disciple, He Teng, challenged Gu Chen with higher cultivation levels.

In the end, they were all defeated.

This will utterly disgrace them.

Now, taking advantage of Ximen Bin's shock at his true cultivation level, Luo Tianxing directly started to mock him.

This was another indirect slap in their face.

on the square.

Qiu Jiu's face turned ugly, and he crushed the cup in his hand.

Luo Tianxing really didn't leave them any face at all.

Saying these things will make them lose face, regardless of the outcome of the battle.

Even if he were to challenge Gu Chen later, Gu Chen would use that as an excuse to mock him.
