Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 251 - The True Expert, Baili Han

Chapter 251: The True Expert, Baili Han

“Huh?” Ling Chuxi raised her head to look at Fu Chengyu. “How did you inquire about it?”

“Feng Yan Union,” said Fu Chengyu with a smile. “E Shulan’s weapon was given to her not too long ago by the Deity Temple. It is a mother and son sword pair. It is known to be a good weapon that is peerless. The small sword the both of you saw was the son sword of the pair and it can be hidden within the mother sword’s hilt, making it hard to guard against. If you meet her in compet.i.tion, you must be extremely careful.”

“Seeing as to how you were both so tangled up over this problem, Senior Brother sought out Feng Yan Union to buy some information,” said Ling Yichen with a smile. “There’s more. This is supposedly the most accurate information there is. This is a book being sold outside. It contains all the information on the experts who will be partic.i.p.ating in this time’s compet.i.tion. There is also a wager,” explained Ling Yichen as he waved the book in his hand around. He had actually bought one to bring back.

“A wager?!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi as her eyes brightened. She s.n.a.t.c.hed the book from Ling Yichen’s hand to flip through it. Fifty people were listed in the book. Ling Chuxi’s name was on the eighth page. Besides her name, the book also included basic information about her. For example, details of where she was from, her original academy, her current academy—Wind Cloud Academy, her estimated cultivation level and success rate.

“How much is this book?” asked Ling Chuxi casually in pa.s.sing as she looked at the information of all the people listed within the book’s pages.

“One silver tael,” replied Ling Yichen succinctly.

“Feng Yan Union really knows how to do business,” harrumphed Ling Chuxi. One silver tael could not really be considered a lot, but it could not be considered little either. An ordinary family would spend about twenty taels a year. However, to families with good socioeconomic statuses, one silver tael was not much. When one thought about the fighting ring compet.i.tion being held at a national level this time and saw how so many people were coming and going on the streets these days, one could tell just how many people had entered the capital just for this event alone. So many people had come from afar just to watch the compet.i.tion, spending their time and money to do so. Naturally, they would not be bothered about spending a single silver tael to procure more information on the compet.i.tion’s partic.i.p.ants. One could easily guess that this book would be bought by many. Feng Yan Union, oh, Feng Yan Union. They must be so rich till they dripped with oil. It really made one admire, be jealous and hate them all at once.

“Who is this person? I’ve never heard of him,” said Ling Chuxi as she pointed at the name listed on the first page as she asked.

“Baili Han. A student from Wind Cloud Academy. Since he’s a student exchange partic.i.p.ant, he has gone off to another academy. That’s why you have not seen him around before,” explained Fu Chengyu from the side.

“Isn’t Shao Nansong known as Wind Cloud Academy’s number one expert? Would Baili Han be Shao Nansong’s match? Why is he on the first page instead?” Xia Zhuoyi had long known about the matter where Chu Jianyi had challenged and defeated Shao Nansong before being beaten by Ling Chuxi. Therefore, he asked such a question in doubt now.

“Shao Nansong was known as the number one expert in Wind Cloud Academy because people here have witnessed his cultivation before. However, n.o.body has ever witnessed Baili Han’s true abilities. Shao Nansong had also never challenged him before,” said Fu Chengyu seriously. “Some people have said that Baili Han has already experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body.”

“What?! Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body?” exclaimed Lan Xinyu and the rest in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

One needed to know that Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body was the legendary sign that would only appear when one had broken through to Battle Qi Level 9. It was also a huge watershed moment that cultivators faced in the process. Only through experiencing the Ninth Heavens’ lightning strike could one’s meridians and bones be restructured, and only then could a cultivator truly breakthrough to surpa.s.s the limits of their body to become a real pinnacle cultivator, entering into the true comprehension cultivation state. However, many cultivators had also succ.u.mbed to this watershed moment by being struck to dust under the might of this heavenly lightning.

Ling Chuxi was only at Battle Qi Level 8 and had yet to reach Level 9. As for the rest, there was no need to further discuss the matter as they were even further away.
