From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Bullshit! Why is the camera focusing on some old dude? I want to see Ranzi!"

At the entrance of the venue, Li Xingwang, who was holding a spicy chicken wing in his hand, watched the screen floating mid-air as it broadcasted the situation inside the venue and couldn't help but curse outright.

"Damn it, is Ranzi so insignificant? At least he's a once-in-a-generation genius, right? Couldn't they arrange a slot for him in the opening ceremony speech?" Jing Haichuan didn't hesitate, taking a bite from the chicken wing in Li Xingwang's hand, indignant.

"Who's the damn cameraman? Fire him now!" Li Xingwang continued.

"Shit! Do they not want to use Jing's condoms anymore?"

...

Behind them, all the members of Class 3 of Yangming Medical College, wearing the same uniform as these two, were somewhat embarrassed.

Because right under this live broadcast screen, only these two were holding a bucket of chicken wings, munching and cursing now and then, occasionally clinking their colas for a toast and continuing to rant.

"Think about the quality, quality," advised Teacher Huang next to them, sweating profusely; these two guys seemed like they owned the entire world as soon as they left the school gates.

Soon enough...

Two sisters from the Nine Heavens Corps responsible for maintaining order approached, grabbed the necks of the two without a word, and directly dragged them away.

"Hey! Ladies! If you want some of my chicken wings, just say so! No need to grab the throat! That part's not okay!"

"Miss! Miss! I've preserved my purity for twenty years! You can't do this to me! If it's possible... please buy a Jing's condom, help our family with the advertising..."

Bang bang—

After a while, with dark circles under their eyes and their hair in disarray, the two rejoined the group watching the live broadcast, no more chicken wings to nibble on.

Inside the venue, as the chairman's speech drew to a close, fireworks lit up the entire sky above the venue, and in the center, a huge four-sided screen floated mid-air, beginning to display the achievements of Alchemists through the ages.

The opening ceremony still had many proceedings yet to happen, but Xia Fulan couldn't wait to have those put on hold. She hadn't come to this opening ceremony for fun; she came to reclaim all the face she lost that day, on Fang Renran, the genius of the Elixir Field.

Listening to the discussions around, some of which included Bai Qi's topics, Xia Fulan listened carefully; to her surprise, it turned out that Fang Renran and Bai Qi were going to get married immediately after this competition.

"Hah! Married? Just a girl Brother Song looked down upon, and he's treating her like treasure? Fine, if you're getting married, then I, Xia Fulan, will make sure you go through your wedding in a wheelchair!"

Once Xia Fulan confirmed the news, she could no longer suppress her rage within. She felt that if she waited any longer, everyone in the audience would have calluses on their ears from the speeches, lacking the energy to witness the final showdown between her and Fang Renran.

Clap—

While everyone was focused on the information about Alchemists playing on the big screen, Xia Fulan suddenly rose from her seat and stared directly at Fang Renran across from her, taking a step forward.

The group of people sitting beside her all turned their attention to her, their gazes naturally drawn to the chilling aura emanating from her.

At almost the same time, Fang Renran, sitting about a hundred meters away from her, stood up too, not showing the slightest hint of True Qi. His seat and his identity already drew attention; his sudden synchronized action with Xia Fulan caused the densely packed audience to grow curious.

"Fang Renran!"

Bai Qi, without a second word, went up to help him but then felt embarrassed, quickly dropping her arm and simply standing behind Fang Renran.

Fang Renran turned to look at her, and although he didn't need to turn to see the concern on Bai Qi's face, looking back at her seemed to comfort her a bit more.

"If you can't manage it, just admit defeat. It's better that I take the embarrassment," Bai Qi said, standing in front of him with a very complex expression on her face.

Fang Renran looked at her and for some reason, suddenly thought of Liu Qianqian, who once looked at him with the same gaze as Bai Qi, as if she was willing to do anything as long as he wasn't hurt.

Both girls were equally foolish.

Fang Renran chuckled, "It's fine, you're my fiancée after all. How could I let you take the embarrassment for me?"

Having said that, Fang Renran turned back and continued to walk towards Xia Fulan.

"Hey! What's going on all of a sudden? Why has Princess Fulan suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the venue?"

"Didn't you see? Young Master Fang also suddenly stood up. The two of them didn't seem to have planned it at all; it was just like they synchronized!"

"Feels like... it's not something good."

"Just look at the aura emitting from Princess Fulan. She clearly seems very angry!"

"What kind of feud could Young Master Fang and Princess Fulan possibly have? Young Master Fang has never stayed in Tianjiang, and since he lacks Cultivation Ability, they probably haven't even met,"

"That's where you're uninformed. Don't you know about the Orchid Bamboo Guild regional competition? What Young Master Fang did, he basically made Princess Fulan's face swell up! And then the two of them set this sword Dao duel agreement!"

"Crap! That's explosive! But isn't Young Master Fang unable to cultivate? A sword Dao duel... To speak frankly, isn't that asking to be crushed?"

...

The students, who had been quietly watching nostalgic films, suddenly erupted into a buzz of conversation.

The core family members seated in the special area above watched Fang Ren and Xia Fulan slowly walk towards each other on the field, listening to the students' clamorous discussions, and felt somewhat bewildered for a moment.

Swelled up her face?

A sword Dao duel?

What is all this?

How could Fang Ren, a man born without the ability to cultivate, have managed to hit Xia Fulan, who is in the Midterm phase of Yingyue Realm?

Nonsense!

Mu Huanqing's brows furrowed slightly when she saw this scene. She remembered something Fang Ren had said to her before: he promised to make Xia Fulan pay the price, that even if he lacked power at the moment, he wouldn't let her have an easy life.

He's going to have a sword Dao duel with Xia Fulan?

How did this happen?

Mu Huanqing suddenly panicked, but remembering Fang Ren's character, he wasn't the type to act tougher than he was. Calming herself slightly, Mu Huanqing decided to wait and see how things would unfold.

If Xia Fulan dared hurt Fang Ren, she would slap Xia Fulan's head down on the spot! Consequences be damned; she couldn't stand watching her child's father get hurt right before her eyes.

The Cao Family Patriarch frowned and turned to Fang Yuanhao, asking, "Brother Fang, what's going on here? How come there's talk of Ren having a sword Dao duel with that Fulan girl?"

"This..." Fang Yuanhao was completely embarrassed and momentarily at a loss for words.

He was all too aware that Fang Ren had never possessed a Spiritual Root since childhood and thus couldn't cultivate. Having a sword Dao duel with the Sect Master's own daughter, wouldn't that be humiliating?

Furthermore, as a grandfather who didn't care much for Fang Ren, he only knew about Fang Ren achieving an Upper Level Pill in the regional competition in fourteen minutes and thirty-six seconds, but he had no idea that Fang Ren already possessed the strength of the Early Stage of Xianyun Realm at that time.

Seeing this, Bai Chaojin immediately laughed and said, "Brother Fang, there's no need to be so modest anymore. Ren is obviously a natural Cultivation genius. Although he lacks a Spiritual Root and couldn't cultivate since childhood, at twenty-two he obtained the Spirit Form Root, and in just three short months, he crossed seventeen minor Realms, reaching the Early Stage of Xianyun Realm.

He's an unparalleled genius in both Alchemy and Cultivation. Brother Fang, why continue to hide his talents? Do you really want Ren to silently cultivate for another twenty-two years without saying anything?"

"What? Crossed seventeen minor Realms in three months!?"

The family heads of the major families were all shocked, even questioning their own hearing.

Having a Spiritual Root at twenty-two was one thing—after all, the world is full of wonders—but crossing seventeen minor Realms in three months? What in the world? That's a higher talent than Mu Hui and Bai Qi combined!

Fang Yuanhao was stupefied. He could understand that Brother Bai was finding reasons to defend him, but what kind of reason was this? Crossing seventeen minor Realms in three months? Even seven would be monstrous, but seventeen... How could it be possible?

Mu Qing Mountain, on the other hand, sighed. He hadn't expected that all this information was tightly controlled by that old fox, Bai Chaojin. It seemed he had planned the marriage contract with the Fang Family long ago, anticipating the day when Fang Ren would show his extraordinary talents!

Mu Qing Mountain felt a deep regret. When he had tested Fang Ren's True Qi strength, he should have foreseen all of this! When Fang Ren hadn't even reached the first stage of Cultivation, and his True Qi was strong enough to injure Mu Qing Mountain's hand, the boy was destined to be more than a Mortal. Yet he foolishly set a term of either two or five years!

Looking back, he felt like slapping himself in the face.

"Brother Bai, you're not joking, are you?" the Liu Family head blurted out, clearly shocked.

"Yeah, don't scare us, brothers. We're old, and anything could trigger a heart condition. We can't afford to play with that heart-racing feeling anymore," said an elder from the Wang's family.

"Hahaha..."

Bai Chaojin laughed heartily without responding further.

His eyes rested on Fang Ren in the center of the field, moving unhurriedly, and he sighed internally. This kid was bound to defy him and Hui Qing, what a pity.

Yet even so, Bai Chaojin felt that no matter what Fang Ren did, he must keep him alive at all costs.

The principle behind founding the Indra Sky Test Organization, he had never forgotten it.

In the very back of the spectator stands, Shang Han stood there, face covered without a seat, holding a cigarette and watching the center of the field.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, just got here and already stumbled upon a big event," murmured Shang Han as he toyed with the cigarette butt, squinting at Xia Fulan opposite Fang Ren and muttering to himself, "Say, did this kid get water on the brain during the time he left me? He promised me he wouldn't pretend to be something he's not once he had real power, right?"
