Chapter 1265 Homeland


1265 Homeland


After Liya left the scene, the Lord looked at the darkened sky with a solemn expression on his face.


"The Immortal Monarch, huh?" The Lord mumbled to himself, lost in thought. "No matter what happens to me, I must protect Earth at all costs. This is his homeland, after all."


The following day, Yuan rose from his bed early in the morning.


"Is it morning already…?" Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a tired voice as she slowly sat up on the bed rubbing her eyes.


"Yes," Yuan confirmed as he slightly lifted the curtains, allowing the early sun to s.h.i.+ne into their room.


"Take your time, I"ll be training with the others first. Of course, you don"t need to partic.i.p.ate if you don"t have the energy— I won"t blame you."


Hearing his words, Chu Liuxiang collapsed back on the bed and said, "Then I"ll sleep for a few more hours. If you"re still training by then, I"ll join you."


"Okay." Yuan nodded as he left the room through the balcony, before going straight to the training grounds.


"I thought I would be able to last the whole night after reaching Spirit Grandmaster and improving my stamina, but alas, I still have a lot of training to do…" Chu Liuxiang released an internal sigh, closed her eyes, and swiftly drifted back into a peaceful slumber with a warm smile on her face.


Shortly after Yuan arrived at the training ground, Li Jinxi showed up with an eager expression on her face.


"Good morning. You"re early." Yuan greeted her with a bright smile.


"You too." Li Jinxi replied.


Seeing Li Jinxi alone, Yuan couldn"t help but recall his encounter with Jin Xi inside the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb, as well as Tian Xin"s feelings for her.


"Yuan…? What"s the matter?" Li Jinxi was a little startled when Yuan suddenly began tearing up.


"Hm? Oh, sorry." Yuan quickly noticed it and immediately wiped his eyes.


"Are you okay?" Li Jinxi asked him in a concerned voice.


"Yes, I am okay. I just remembered something, that"s all."


"You can tell me, you know."


"I"ll tell you if you can defeat me," Yuan said with a mysterious smile.


"Are you sure you want to fight me while in that state? I won"t hear any of your excuses if you lose." Li Jinxi said.


"I won"t make any excuses if I lose, I promise." Yuan chuckled.


Li Jinxi didn"t want to waste any more time chatting and retrieved her weapon.


Yuan responded by summoning the Empyrean Overlord.


"Come, show me how much you"ve grown." Yuan beckoned her with a provoking smile.


Li Jinxi immediately kicked her feet, launching herself at him like a rocket.


Clang!


Yuan blocked her incoming strike, but Li Jinxi"s strength was so immense that it pushed him back several steps.


"Oh? Not bad." The smile on Yuan"s face widened.


Li Jinxi didn"t halt after the initial strike; she swiftly followed up with a second, then a third, and a fourth.


Within minutes, the two of them had a flurry of exchanges, trading hundreds of blows without landing a single direct hit. Naturally, they weren"t fighting with the intention to kill and were simply enjoying the spar.


w.a.n.g Ming and w.a.n.g Bingbing showed up together in the midst of their spar and were greatly shocked by the intensity of their fight.


"The training ground was only repaired last week, and it"s already being destroyed again," w.a.n.g Ming lamented aloud after seeing the condition of the training ground.


"Forget about that, the repairs are free," w.a.n.g Bingbing remarked, her attention on Li Jinxi"s beaming smile. "I swear she only ever smiles when Yuan"s around," she added, as she couldn"t remember seeing Li Jinxi smile once in the past six months.


"You just noticed?" w.a.n.g Ming chuckled. "She"s almost like a different person when she"s around him. Obviously, it"s because she likes him. I"m not surprised either. It"s just like her to fall for someone as strong as Yuan."

"I guess…" w.a.n.g Bingbing mumbled.

"Hm? Is that jealousy I sense? Now you have three— no, four opponents. I would be nervous too if I were in your shoes." w.a.n.g Ming looked at her in a cheeky manner.


w.a.n.g Bingbing immediately gave him a sidekick and exclaimed, "S-Shut your mouth! And why are there four opponents?!"


"Did you forget about w.a.n.g Xiuying? She idolizes him, and she doesn"t hide it either." w.a.n.g Ming said.


"I know that, but I don"t know… I cannot sense that sort of emotion from her, unlike Meixiu and the others." w.a.n.g Bingbing said.


"Really? You can tell? Why do I doubt that?"


"Call it a woman"s intuition." w.a.n.g Bingbing shrugged, and she continued, "Anyways, it doesn"t seem like they will finish any time soon, so let"s warm up— you and me."


"Alright."


The other started showing up shortly after w.a.n.g Ming and w.a.n.g Bingbing began sparring with each other.


"How long have they been at it for now?" Xi Murong asked w.a.n.g Ming after arriving.


"Two hours."


"I don"t think we"ll get a turn today at this rate."


Sure enough, Yuan and Li Jinxi would not stop until the sun started setting.


"You"ve improved a lot," Yuan said to Li Jinxi as he wiped his face that was dripping with sweat.


"Clearly not enough since I still cannot beat you…" Li Jinxi responded in an exhausted voice, her entire body drained of energy.


"But if you keep improving at that rate, it"ll only be a matter of time before you beat me."


"Sure… if you don"t train the entire time…" Li Jinxi sighed.


"Sorry, I"m late! Is it my turn yet?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly shouted from the balcony of her room.


Yuan looked at the setting sun and said, "It"s fine, we"re done for the day, anyway."


He then looked at the others and continued, "Guys, I have something I need to tell you all after dinner. Make sure you show up, it"s serious."


"Is it about the Ten Great Families?" s.h.i.+ Lang asked.


"No, this is something bigger and more important."


"Bigger than the Ten Great Families? Man, I can"t wait." s.h.i.+ Lang said in a sarcastic manner.
