Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 549 - 244:

Wen Xin gritted her teeth as she spoke.This time, Xu Guang agreed, "I will go there three days before the challenge tournament."

Wen Xin nodded gratefully.

After Wen Xin left, Jin Buhuan said meaningfully, "This young lady approaching you, her intentions aren’t pure. You’re quite the hot commodity now."

Xu Guang quickly understood the underlying meaning of Jin Buhuan’s words.

After Wen Xin left, several female Martial Artists began to approach Xu Guang, including Sun Yu, whom he met during the assessment tournament, and even Ji Yue Ru, who always had a cool and aloof demeanor, exchanged a few words with him.

"These women, now in the Northern Emperor Academy, seem to be in the limelight. But if they don’t progress in their cultivation to satisfy their family’s expectations, well..."

Jin Buhuan explained the reason.

"You’re not unattractive, and you’re currently a rising star with no complicated family ties. Marrying you is far better than being randomly matched by their families to a stranger."

Jin Buhuan said with a smile.

"Xu Mou is already married..."

"Is there anyone here, except some who are entirely focused on cultivation, whose family doesn’t have seven or eight women hidden away? Not to mention, I’ve heard Xiao Chen experienced the Jianghu for a while and has at least twenty close confidantes."

Xu Guang: ...

This is how the world is: the strong are entitled to more resources, and women are sometimes considered resources, too.

"Junior Brother Xu, you need to plan ahead. After the assessment tournament, I predict you’ll quickly become a disciple of a Saint. A Saint is still human; if they have a family and someone fancies you, and your master personally proposes a marriage, how would you respond?"

Xu Guang remained silent.

Jin Buhuan didn’t say much more. Later, he introduced Xu Guang to many people among the different grade disciples, helping him establish numerous connections, especially introducing a woman dressed in exotic attire, clearly belonging to an ancient and traditional tribe.

She is a First Grade expert, the leader of the Eastern Shuo Demon Hunting Team, and crucially, she is from an ancient clan who are skilled in Beast Taming.

"I didn’t expect you to be a Beast Taming Martial Artist."

Senior Sister Xia was somewhat surprised. The assessment tournament allowed beasts to fight alongside, but Xu Guang never seemed to have had his Great Beast participate.

Many people were unaware that Xu Guang was a Beast Taming Martial Artist.

Jin Buhuan chuckled, "My Junior Brother Xu is incredibly talented. In the future, who knows, maybe he’ll need Senior Sister Xia’s care."

Senior Sister Xia smiled, "The doors of my Eastern Shuo Demon Hunting Team are always open for Junior Brother Xu."

Xu Guang humbly cupped his fists.

This gathering was of a much higher standard than Xu Guang had imagined. Besides the leaders of various Demon Hunting Teams, a few high-level people from Northern Emperor Academy made an appearance, though they did not stay long.

The high-level people of Northern Emperor Academy were all in the Second Nirvana Realm, with positions that were not fixed, often coming from the Upper Five Academies’ Inspection Envoy-level disciples, and rarely seen.

After eating and drinking their fill, the crowd finally dispersed.

After Xu Guang and Jin Buhuan parted ways, something happened on Bai Xiaozhu’s side.

It was a man with an outstanding demeanor.

Just now, he seemed intent on making a move against Bai Xiaozhu, but was stopped by someone.

Xu Guang quickly walked over, standing in front of Bai Xiaozhu.

"What kind of skills does it take for a man to bully a woman?"

"This bitch’s bird was disturbing me. What, not convinced?"

The other party was arrogant, looking at Xu Guang and Bai Xiaozhu smugly, suddenly sneering coldly at Bai Xiaozhu.

Xu Guang knew that the other party was here to pick a fight.

"And who might you be?"

"Hong Xu is my cousin."

With that sentence, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Bai Xiaozhu’s expression changed slightly.

Xu Guang reached out to protect Bai Xiaozhu behind him, quietly looking at the other party, "What does Your Excellency mean?"

The other’s head leaned in closer, speaking softly, "I just heard you were quite arrogant."

Xu Guang was left speechless.

The other party was indeed here to provoke.

"I understand, Your Excellency wants me to find you in the challenge tournament."

The other was Second Grade Cultivation; in the Northern Emperor Academy, provoking Xu Guang, the only way to deal with him was through the assessment tournament.

On this point, Xu Guang was well aware.

"Glad you understand!"

Just as he was preparing to speak more harshly.

A sudden voice came in.

"Understand what?"
