Chapter 740: Refining Gleamstar Water

Due to the elder's objection and the restricted space's destruction, the duel between Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin was forced to be postponed. They withdrew rapidly from the restricted space, while those who had not left were forever lost.

The Gleamstar Blessed Land mission had come to an end. A large majority of the Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples had returned with some gains. However, about one fifth of the participants had perished.

Everyone lamented the untimely death of those young prodigies. As for the survivors who had also returned with gleamstar water, they were considered to be fortuitous, capable of reaching even higher heights in their cultivation.

Led by the elders, the disciples quickly returned to the academy. And when they arrived at the academy, the duel between Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin became everyone's focus. The two agreed to fight to the death at the arena in half a month. The academy would not interfere in life-or-death duels if both parties agreed.

Di Lin was

ranked

within the 30s on the Dragon Phoenix List and had great talent. He was also known as one of the freaks most likely to enter the top 10. At the same time, he was also the personal disciple of a previous generation elder, Elder Situ. He was a dazzling and extraordinary individual.

At first, more people thought that Di Lin had the higher chances of winning the match. However, after one particular news spread, the people changed their minds. The news said that An Lulu, also known as Lady Violence, had been bullied by Xiang Shaoyun.

Who was An Lulu?

She was the renowned Lady Violence. Not only was she strong, she was one of the four great guardians of the Crushing Sky. In the entirety of the academy, fewer than 10 people were capable of bullying her.

And yet, Xiang Shaoyun had bullied a woman that few dared to provoke. This news amazed the academy's numerous disciples. They had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun's combat prowess had already reached such a terrifying level.

Back when they had heard about Xiang Shaoyun's defeat in the hands of Xiao Xie, they had all acknowledged that he was qualified to enter the Dragon Phoenix List's top 20.

However, it had been about half a year since that fight. Each disciple was progressing, while Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level had seemingly remained stagnant. Why then, was he able to unleash such terrifying combat prowess?

They suspected him of hiding a trump card. However, that wasnt the most shocking news. A different piece of news had spread as well, and it was truly shocking. Ouyang Chuanqi had accepted the Overlord Legion's recruitment, becoming their first deputy commander. As for Tang Longfei, he was now a second deputy commander. It created a massive commotion.

"What is happening exactly? Ouyang Chuanqi actually joined the Overlord Legion? How had Xiang Shaoyun managed to make that freak join him?"

"Perhaps Ouyang Chuanqi had encountered danger in the Gleamstar Blessed Land and was saved by Xiang Shaoyun? Is that the reason he willingly joined them? I really can't think of any other reason."

"Or maybe Xiang Shaoyun and Ouyang Chuanqi had long known each other, keeping their relationship hidden until now?"

"Looks like the Overlord Legion is about to rise. I am going to join them too."

...

The news created a sensation that increased the number of people joining the Overlord Legion. Ouyang Chuanqi was a deputy commander only in name. He wouldn't normally get involved with the faction's affairs and would only help when they required it. Even so, many disciples were still attracted to join the Overlord Legion due to his very presence.

Tang Longfei, Zhuge Zhantian, and Lady Shura became increasingly busy. They were in charge of the new joiners. As the leader, Xiang Shaoyun did not have the time to handle all the miscellaneous affairs. In any case, he needed to focus on his match with Di Lin.

Currently, Xiang Shaoyun was within his cultivation room, studying a green sapling. It was the very sapling he had obtained in the Gleamstar Blessed Land. The sapling looked completely unassuming, but Xiang Shaoyun had a feeling it was something special.

However, he couldn't quite pinpoint what was so special about it. He only had an instinct that it was not a normal sapling.

After reading so many ancient records, I can recognize most plants in existence. However, I can't recognize this sapling. Is it because it's still too young? Maybe I need to check again after it grows more,

thought Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.

After thinking about it for a while, he threw the matter to the back of his mind. His current focus was to refine the gleamstar water he had gotten. The many disciples had worked very hard to gather the gleamstar water so they could expand their stars, increasing the amount of astral energy they could store.

The bigger one's energy storage capacity, the longer one could last in a battle. Furthermore, one could also erupt with more
