Chapter 65: This Kid's Dao Heart is Shattered!

Hiss...

The disciples present secretly gasped in their hearts.

Young Master Cao is still the same Young Master Cao; no, he's even more arrogant than before.

The former Young Master Cao was just a wastrel, but the current Young Master Cao is not only a wastrel, but also a capable fighter.

Thinking of this, the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but secretly gasp, and at the same time, they were glad that they hadn't offended Young Master Cao.

However, there were a few people in the crowd who were trembling at this moment.

These few people were precisely Ma Bin and his group. Their purpose in coming here today was to see Cao Youqian get brutally beaten by Senior Brother Lin.

But now, Senior Brother Lin was beaten black and blue by Cao Youqian.

Based on their understanding of Cao Youqian, after dealing with Lin Ping'an, this guy's next target would be them.

Now, they were even more anxious than Elder Xiong in the sky, hoping that Elder Xiong could beat Cao Youqian up, and it would be best if he crippled Cao Youqian.

Then they would have nothing to worry about.

"What an arrogant junior who disregards his elders! Today, I, your teacher, will discipline you on behalf of the Xuanhuo Pill King!"

Elder Xiong was the protector assigned to Lin Ping'an by Sword Martial King, but before the battle began, he did not come to the stage of life and death with Lin Ping'an.

He, like most people, didn't think that Cao Youqian could win against their Sword Dao Institute's treasure.

A moment of carelessness had put this elder in an awkward position.

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly came from the sky.

It directly shocked Elder Xiong in the sky, almost causing him to fall from the sky.

Immediately afterward, a majestic voice came from afar.

"What? Are the people from your Sword Dao Institute so unwilling to accept defeat that you even want to interfere with the affairs of the stage of life and death?"

Along with the voice, the figure of the Xuanhuo Pill King appeared in the sky.

When the people present saw the Xuanhuo Pill King appear, they all saluted him.

"We pay our respects to the Xuanhuo Pill King."

Elder Xiong was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't it said that the Cao family had already expelled Cao Youqian from the family?

Why would the Xuanhuo Pill King still appear here? Although he was puzzled, he still saluted the Xuanhuo Pill King.

"Greetings, Pill King."

"Humph."

The Xuanhuo Pill King snorted coldly, "Are you going to ask Sword Martial King to come and confront me, or are you going to admit defeat on behalf of your junior?"

Elder Xiong said in fear and trepidation, "Our Sword Dao Institute admits defeat in this battle. I was the one who overstepped just now. I will send a gift to Nephew Cao as an apology later."

"Okay."

The Xuanhuo Pill King did not intend to escalate the matter. His appearance here was primarily to see how much his grandson had grown.

Today's battle made him very satisfied.

"Then I will take my leave first."

After Elder Xiong finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Ping'an and left the stage of life and death, fearing that he would be beaten by the Xuanhuo Pill King if he was a second late.

Although the Asking Dao Academy prohibited internal strife, he was in the wrong in this matter.

Even if the Xuanhuo Pill King beat him, the dean would not protect him.

Seeing him leave, the Xuanhuo Pill King gave Cao Youqian a thumbs up before turning and leaving.

After the two big shots left, the crowd began to cheer.

"Senior Brother Cao!"

"Senior Brother Cao!"

"..."

Cao Youqian enjoyed the cheers of the crowd and walked down from the stage.

Qin Qin and Xiao Chen were the first to greet him.

"Second Senior Brother, are you alright?" Qin Qin asked first.

"I'm fine. That kid's sword energy was nothing. Not to mention comparing it to Master, it's far from Senior Brother's level."

Cao Youqian said with a smile, acting as if he didn't take Lin Ping'an seriously at all.

Xiao Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Junior Brother, well done. Let's go back and celebrate."

"Let's go!"

After Cao Youqian finished speaking, he and his two fellow disciples left the stage of life and death amidst the attention of the crowd.

The crowd looked at their departing figures and began to discuss.

"I thought Senior Brother Xiao was strong because of luck, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Cao to become strong as well. Could it be that the Miscellaneous Dao Institute really has some unknown secrets?"

"It's possible. After all, the Miscellaneous Dao Institute used to be glorious, and the Four Saints of Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting once emerged from there."

"Then should we transfer to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

"If you could become an inner disciple, would you still want to go?"

"..."

Inside the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Chu Feng was currently busy.

He was preparing a table of fine wine and dishes for Da Qian (Cao Youqian) to have a good time.

"Master, we're back!"

Cao Youqian's loud voice came from afar.

Chu Feng casually replied, "You brat, sit down first. Qin'er, come in and give your teacher a hand."

"Yes."

Qin Qin responded and walked into the kitchen.

Half an hour later.

A table full of dishes appeared in the courtyard.

Chu Feng and his four disciples sat around the table, drinking and making merry.

After a few rounds of drinks.

Chu Feng asked, "Da Qian, tell me about the battle today."

Cao Youqian, taking advantage of the wine, vividly described the process of today's great battle.

After listening, Chu Feng said, "So, you went straight for breaking that kid Lin Ping'an's Dao heart."

"That's right. It was too difficult to kill Lin Ping'an on the stage of life and death, and I also felt an aura on him that didn't belong to him. It seems that this guy still has some life-saving means. If we were to encounter each other in the wild, he would probably slip away from my hands. "

Cao Youqian could still clearly remember the strange aura on Lin Ping'an.

Moreover, the fighting power that strange aura could unleash was far more than that.

If Lin Ping'an had also awakened a divine body and could withstand a more powerful aura, today's battle would have been troublesome.

Chu Feng nodded slightly. "You did well, but that alone is not enough to completely break Lin Ping'an's Dao heart.

Even if he falls for a while, he will suddenly come back with a big one in the future."

Hearing what his master said, Cao Youqian's expression also became serious.

"Master, don't worry, I will never relax in my cultivation."

"Good."

Chu Feng said with a smile, "If you, kid, can remain calm and concentrate on your cultivation, then Lin Ping'an's opportunities will never catch up with you."

Xiao Chen on the side said, "Junior Brother, if you need anything, you can call on me, your Senior Brother. Since Lin Ping'an has a big secret, it's not shameful for us two senior brothers to join hands to deal with him."

Cao Youqian's face showed a trace of surprise when he heard this.

"Senior Brother, I thought you would say, if I lost, you would help me beat him up?"

Xiao Chen said, "Am I, your Senior Brother, such a stubborn person?"

"Haha..."

Inside the Sword Dao Institute.

Sword Martial King looked at his disciple, who had been beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, with an extremely ugly expression.

"What a Cao Youqian, what a Miscellaneous Dao Institute! I will remember this debt!

Elder Xiong, find the best healing pills for me, be sure to heal Ping'an."

Elder Xiong hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes."

After Sword Martial King finished speaking, he turned and left. After leaving the room, he muttered to himself: It seems that it's not enough to put all my eggs in Lin Ping'an's basket. I have to lean more resources towards Lin Qingyu.

Inside the room.

Lin Ping'an stared blankly at the ceiling. He still couldn't understand why he lost. He murmured in his heart:

"Master, why did I lose to that kid?"

Silence is the Cambridge of the room.

After a long while, the old voice finally spoke, "That kid is very strange, and the cultivation technique he practices is something I have never seen in my life. But don't worry, as long as you cultivate according to what I say,

Within three years, you will definitely be able to defeat him!"

"Hmph."

Lin Ping'an snorted lightly, "Master, please stop lying to me. If the person who defeated me today was Xiao Chen, I would still think it was possible.

Every step I took before was according to what you said, but the result was that Cao Youqian, who was no match for me a year ago, defeated me.

What does this say?"

His master responded with silence.

Perhaps I really am a good-for-nothing?

Lin Ping'an seemed to be talking to himself and his master at the same time. After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In his sea of consciousness, the old man let out a terrified cry: "No, this kid's Dao heart is shattered! All my efforts have been in vain!!!"
