Li Jun supported Jen.She was still undergoing the essence toxic cleansing and purge out the remaining effects.
Jen used her central Acmes Pair for this purpose because other than this, her body faced the toxic and she has no choice.
Since Li Jun was holding her, he was worried for her condition, he was indebted to this senior sister greatly, she saved his life when he was surrounded by his enemies.
She also helped him recover and put great effort to find a mender who could cure his Acmes Pair.
If she had not saved him, if she had not used her own sources to help him then he would never have appear in these battles and never ever have won the third place of Intermediate Compet.i.tion Battles.
"Senior sister Jen, what happened during battle?" he asked out of concern.
"A sneak attack of toxins," she answered, while keeping her eyes forcefully open.
Li Jun got shocked.
"What way I can help?" he asked immediately.
"I lack strength and pure essence to cleans the toxin,"
From the upper foyer, Tong Ban also witnessed this last battle, he was also stunned at the announcement, he could see the girl still standing amid the battle ground while spectators left long time ago.
He was curious what exactly happened during battle for such announcement to appear?
He didn"t go back immediately instead he walked toward where the girl was standing and someone was supporting her.
He heard her words.
He walked with fast pace and reached them.
"I can help this miss," he hurriedly grabbed her hand and let his strong essence force cleanse. her toxin.
Jen was not in position to refuse his offer.
She silently absorbed his essence energy and slowly flow through her other Acmes Pairs, she has learned to cleanse her layers during her learning at Yellow River, her mentor taught her how to do it perfectly without letting toxin harm the body.
"Thank you senior for helping miss Jen," Li Jun felt at ease that there was someone with pure essence and he readily came at the right time.
"We are fellow learners, and I am not doing a big favor," Tong Ban answered.
"Still it is considered favor and I will try to return it back," Li Jun knew how necessary and urgent Jen needed and this first ranker who won a b.l.o.o.d.y battle yesterday came to help them.
If it was not favor then what was it?
Jen could feel equally strong and pure essence flow in her body which she absorbed just now, it helped her cleanse rapidly the toxin from her body.
Her reddened eyes revert back to normal, and she could feel her own strength getting stabilize.
"Miss Jen, I am Tong Ban and I am glad to help you, can I ask is there a crystal bead in your central Acmes Pair?" Tong Ban asked her.
He sensed the energy of the specific bead.
"I am Jen and I am greatly indebted to you for this help, it is indeed, during a breakthrough, this crystal bead settled in my Acmes Pair, why did you ask?" She stood straight and answered, she slightly bowed too to express her grat.i.tude.
"It was nothing, since from now on we are three fellow top rankers we should render helping hand each other, If you feel alright, I know someone who can bring out the crystal bead, you should be aware that it is dangerous to keep this bead in central Acmes Pair," he spoke instead.
Jen was surprised, it was long time that she saw someone with this demeanor.
It was not that she was pessimistic but it was really rare to meet someone with such character.
Her intuition did not indicate anything, she hardly recovered just now.
"I would have met your senior but I need some rest," she answered.
She was able to purge out the toxin but she needed to shower and change her dress then she would take rest for couple of hours to revitalize her strength.
If she met that senior in her broken condition, would not it be a disgrace?
"Yes, definitely miss Jen should rest, and I appreciate the way you win your battle despite the underhanded tricks of your opponent," Tong Ban praised her fighting prowess and went back after telling that he would stay for another day here with his senior so that she could meet him and solve the crystal bead issue.
Jen still was in a daze that he was going to stay for a day until she was able to meet his senior.
"I am glad that Tong Ban came at the right time else I don"t know how to find someone with the pure essence," Li Jun was at ease that Jen recovered.
"It"s alright, I have other means to tackle this problem just that it would have taken enough time," Jen waved her hand, she could see both Li Jun and first disciple and their colorless faces, it was because they were too much worried for her.
The Intermediate Battles were over and the new ranking were announced through the whole Celestial Sphere, people could take a look at the ranking boards and they were amazed that first three names were new, they were familiar with the name of Tong Ban, he was on the number four ranking for previous five years.
There were rumors about the previous number three ranker that he died during the battles and his father also died when he wanted to kill the contestant.
There were many tales to relate who spectate these battles and returned back to their respective Manias.
There was no doubt, first three new rankings collected number of fans for support.
People supported these contestants because they fought with all their endurance and did not use any sly means to win.
Especially, the only female contestant was center of these stories.
Few who happened to come by her ident.i.ty were speechless and it was clear that they would keep their mouths shut until it was known to everyone.
They feared that Xuan Rong might get displeased.
"Ah, you told her that I can help her?" his uncle could not believe that his nephew was on the mission to make him famous in this old age.
"Uncle can you please help her?" Tong Ban asked as if asking parent to get a favorite toy or buy a candy.
"Nephew, you are insistent while I know in any moment I will die, I regret that I might not be able to guide you further," his uncle spoke with broken voice.
"If I tried to help her, I might immediately die because Crystal bead hold a begrudge with my present condition,"
Tong Ban heard his uncle and worriedly reached him, "Why are you saying so uncle, what happened, you are above Golden Legend Realm already and another hundred years can sustain your life,"
"I might have but I suffered an injury years ago and it shortened my life span, I tried to find a Mender of Golden Legend level to cure but I could not find in my entire life," his uncle explained.
"I am afraid and concerned about your next levels advancement, Since you are Supreme Heart Cultivator the day you became Legend, you might face many difficulties and enemies," he continued his talk.
"Enemies?" Tong Ban was trying to digest this grim news that his uncle shared another worry.
"Yes, not many chose this path, roughly one from thousands and you are among them," his uncle reminded him.
"But I am not the only one, today I came to know that the girl who won second ranking is also a Supreme," he revealed because he sensed her purest energy though it weakened because of toxin.
"What, the granddaughter of Xuan Rong is also a Supreme?" he asked puzzled.
"Yes, she is," Tong Ban answered precisely.
Xuan Rong was a Supreme Heart Cultivator and since the previous Defender send someone to always secure him from threats, he remained safe from enemies.
But who was here to secure his granddaughter? The one who killed Lupa? No, it can"t be that because he could feel who it was, Xuan Rong himself appeared to save her. What about the man who jumped between and borrowed some time, but he seemed a mentor only.
"Is it possible that Xuan Rong is not aware because she has not step on the Legend Realm yet?" this could be the reason.
"Perhaps, she herself don"t know," this can also be true.
"Tong Ban, once we go back, I will handover you all the remaining resources and guide before I die, beware of your enemies,"
Jen came to look for them with her fellow brother.
Li Jun bade farewell and went back with his school elders.
Tong Ban welcomed her, he was sorry that his uncle cannot help her.
"I still want to meet your uncle and express my grat.i.tude," she was clear that Tong Ban wanted to help but something troubled him recently because yesterday his face was not this gloomy and tired.
