Chapter 249 Xiao, Please Wait!
"You, lost!"
Xiao Yi stood proudly in the middle of the duel arena, with a blood-colored light converging at his fingertips, forming a blade pressed against Xue Wuhen's throat.
A drop of blood fell from his neck.
Just a little further and he would sever his throat and decapitate him.
A look of confusion flashed across Xue Wuhen's face.
He was the master of Xue Yilou, the Pavilion Master of Combat Pavilion, a towering presence at the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak.
Today...
He had actually lost!
And to a junior at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak?
A deep sense of defeat swept over him, and Xue Wuhen's face turned pale. He wanted to activate his profound energy and fight again. But as the thought occurred to him, the energy blade in Xiao Yi's hand had already cut through his neck.
The sharp pain and the hot blood flowing from his neck made Xue Wuhen shudder.
After much hesitation.
The profound energy inside him subsided.
With a forced smile, he defeatly said, "I lost!"
Boom!
With those three words, the entire Heaven Character Pavilion erupted: "Damn, won? Just like that?"
"A hundred consecutive victories! A Golden Elixir Realm Peak junior actually defeated a Tao Tribulation Realm Peak powerhouse, achieving a hundred consecutive victories..."
"Xiao Tianjiao's record wasn't just tied, it was broken!"
"Being at the same Golden Elixir Realm Peak and facing the same Xue Wuhen, Xiao Tianjiao took two moves and was defeated, but this man directly overcame Xue Wuhen. The difference is clear, at least within the same realm, Xiao Tianjiao is no match for him!"
"My money... it's all gone..."
"Hahaha, I tripled my billion silver, hahaha..."
The odds for Xiao Yi's victory were set at three to one, while Xue Wuhen's were at two to one, and nearly everyone believed Xue Wuhen would have the last laugh before the end of the fight.
Reality proved...
Reality and fantasy have a huge gap.
In the VIP seats.
"Useless trash."
Yang Jin's face was incredibly grim as he stared at Xiao Yi with a deadly gaze, "This man, he must not remain!"
Strong representatives from several other sects saw potential: "With such talent, even if he's not comparable to Xiao Tianjiao, the difference is slight. If cultivated well, he could possibly become the next Xiao Tianjiao. We must pull him into our sect!"
"If he doesn't submit, then we should eliminate him before he grows!"
Among the Four Great Clans.
Nangong Jingtang, patriarch of the Nangong Family, narrowed his eyes and stroked his mustache: "My Nangong Family has successfully recruited Ye Heng. If we can bring this young man under our wing, who then can stop the Nangong Family's rise?"
Dongfang Yuechu, the head of the Dongfang Family, and Ximen Yijian, the head of the Ximen Family, exchanged a glance. These two families had close bonds: "We must discover this man's identity. If he can't be a friend, we must eliminate him as soon as possible!"
Representing the Beitang Family was the young master, Beitang Yu, who meanwhile stroked his chin with a pondering smile: "Interesting, really interesting... Xiao Tianjiao, your legend has been broken, and I can't wait to see the expression on your face when you hear this news! Hahahaha..."
In the VIP room where Xiao Zhengde was.
The guard was once again gripped by the throat and pinned against the wall by Xiao Zhengde, who furiously punched him, "Scum, scum, scum..."
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing as rough as a wolf's howl, and he was radiating a fierce killing intent.
Xiao Tianjiao's record had been broken.
The undefeated legend of Xiao Tianjiao had been broken.
This once pure and flawless jade now bore an indelible blemish.
No matter how powerful Xiao Tianjiao was, he would no longer be like before, almost a deity, unparalleled among his peers.
Whenever anyone mentioned Xiao Tianjiao, they would surely think of Xiao Yi!
This man, also at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, broke the sealed record of Xiao Tianjiao...
Some are happy, some are in despair.
Upon seeing Xiao Yi claim the final victory and create a new record surpassing Xiao Tianjiao's hundred consecutive wins,
Yang Ling abruptly sprang up from his chair, his face awash with ecstatic joy as he murmured to himself, "Truly worthy of being the one who nearly destroyed the entire Great Jin Kingdom single-handedly, he actually did it..."
It was Yang Ling's idea to recommend Xiao Yi as the head of the Xiaoshanhe Institute.
The initial scheme of Yang Ling and Emperor Qian was to let Xiao Yi succeed the position as institute head in order to balance the powers of the four major noble families and the ten great sects.
But he never expected...
That Xiao Yi would be so strong!
His growth rate was so fast!
What surprised him even more was that Xiao Yi's talent was in no way inferior to that of Xiao Tianjiao, the top genius of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Narrowing his eyes, Yang Ling's face showed excitement, "I'll go meet Xiao Yi first, then go back and tell my father this news. He will definitely be very pleased!"
Xiao Tianjiao is incredibly proud, not even regarding the royal family in his eyes.
In contrast to Xiao Yi...

He is amicable, and especially values loyalty!
When Jiang Tianchen was willing to exert his nation's full strength to confront Xue Yilou for his sake, Xiao Yi single-handedly flattened Tianlan, crushed Qingyun, defeated the Four Seas, broke through the White Whale, and ultimately annihilated the Great Jin Kingdom.
He propelled Tianqing Kingdom, once ranked at the bottom among the 100+ vassal nations of the Great Qian Dynasty, to become the strongest subordinate nation.
Under Great Qian, Tianqing reigns supreme.
"As long as we treat Xiao Yi sincerely, I believe he will definitely stand on the side of our royal family..." Yang Ling thought, becoming even more firm in his decision to forge a genuine bond with Xiao Yi.
At the same time...
In the duel arena, Xue Wuhen closed his eyes in despair, waiting for Xiao Yi to take his life.
But what he got instead was Xiao Yi's impatient voice, "How long do you plan to lie there?"
"Huh?"
Xue Wuhen was taken aback, opened his eyes, and looked incredulously at Xiao Yi, "You, you're not going to kill me?"
Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Do you really want to die? I can oblige you if you wish!"
He never had a strong intent to kill Xue Wuhen, especially since during their previous encounter, Xue Wuhen had insisted that no one should defile his corpse, which in itself gained Xiao Yi's respect and led him to decide to spare his life.
Xue Wuhen: "..."
His face changing, he finally let out a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Losing to you is not a disgrace."
Xiao Yi said lightly, "But you can't owe me a single cent of the money you lost to me!"
"..."
With a bitter smile, Xue Wuhen said with pained expression, "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged!"
A hundred consecutive wins, no less!
Just from the last match alone, Xiao Yi would take away thirteen trillion silver.
Add to that the various other shares from previous matchups.
This time, Xiao Yi could claim thirty-seven trillion silver from the Combat Pavilion, which in real gold and silver and based on the Xiaoshanhe Institute's monthly expenditures of ten billion, would suffice to fund the institute for more than three thousand years.
"It seems like the scale of Xiaoshanhe Institute can be expanded a bit more this time!" Xiao Yi's lips curved into a slight smile.
All of a sudden...
He caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhengde leaving the VIP room from the corner of his eye. Xiao Yi fell silent for a moment, then turned to Xue Wuhen beside him, "Do me a favor!"
"Hmm?"
Xue Wuhen was taken aback.
Xiao Yi said in a low voice, "Arrange a room for me. Have Xiao Zhengde come see me!"
"Xiao Zhengde?"
Xue Wuhen blinked in surprise but didn't overthink it and nodded, "I'll get to it right away!"
A moment later...
At the exit of the Heaven Character Pavilion, Xiao Zhengde walked out with a dark expression. Just then, he heard the voice of Xue Wuhen from behind, "Pavilion Master Xiao, please wait a moment!"
