C296 Tang Xiaoyue(1)

Woo Zhengyang sincerely expressed his gratitude, not just because Nie Fengyu chose to protect him rather than pursue Helian Hanhai. The cost of Nie Fengyu's actions was far greater than that. Due to the situation with Woo Zhengyang, Nie Fengyu was forced to reveal his true abilities, which was not beneficial for him personally or for the Profound Heaven Sect. The Heavenly Martial Sect, knowing someone of his age had reached the Reality Condensing Stage, would surely be wary of him, possibly even plotting against him. For Woo Zhengyang, Nie Fengyu put himself in a perilous position, and that was a debt of gratitude that weighed heavily.

"I've been wanting to clean house for a while now; you just gave me the chance. No need to thank me!" Nie Fengyu laughed it off, acting as if it was no big deal.

"Master, you killed the leader of the Fallen Moon Sect, and their elder..."

"Enough with the worrying! Your job is to break into the top ten of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association! Especially you, Woo Zhengyang, I have high hopes for you!"

With that, Nie Fengyu waved Woo Zhengyang and Fu Chuan back to the gateway of the Heavenly Martial Realm, his pride evident as he turned to the Elder of the Northern Abyss. "Elder, the matter is resolved. I suppose we don't need to wait any longer, do we?"

The Elder of the Northern Abyss gave Nie Fengyu a meaningful look and chuckled, "Sect Master Nie, you truly are full of surprises. I am impressed!"

"Not at all, not at all, today's weather is just nice, so I managed to break through by sheer luck!"

Everyone was taken aback; even those at the Reality Condensing Stage were surprised by such nonchalance.

This small ripple caused a huge shock, but after the initial surprise, the Ultimate Battle of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association had to continue.

Moh Lunhui, who had woken up at some point, gave Woo Zhengyang a friendly smile and said, "I'll be waiting for you inside!"

With that, Moh Lunhui was the first to step into the Heavenly Martial Realm.

"How did he beat you to it, Woo Zhengyang, you madman?" Nie Fengyu shouted from the stands.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless but still made his way toward the portal. Fu Chuan hesitated for a moment but then followed with a determined look...

In the end, Woo Zhengyang wasn't the second to enter either.

Led by Zhan Bugui, one of the four great talents, the people from the Heavenly Martial Academy began to file in.

Woo Zhengyang didn't mind much about the order of entry; it wasn't a ranking, after all.

Before today, even if it were a ranking, Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have cared much. His only target was Moh Lunhui.

However, after what just happened, Woo Zhengyang couldn't ignore it anymore.

Nie Fengyu had risked exposing his abilities for him, putting himself in danger. How could Woo Zhengyang stand by and do nothing?

Whether for himself, the Profound Heaven Sect, or Nie Fengyu, Woo Zhengyang knew he had to fight with all his might.

The top contender of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association!

This is Woo Zhengyang's goal, but his ultimate aim goes beyond that!

As he entered the gateway to the Heavenly Martial Realm, Woo Zhengyang found himself amidst a dense forest. However, the landscape quickly shifted from forest to wilderness, and then to a series of mountains. Finally, he arrived at a spot beside a winding river. This marked the moment when all the participants of the Ultimate Battle had entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, and the gateway closed behind them.

He took out the jade token that had just been distributed. The token was simple, a plain piece of jade with a small 'zero' inscribed on one side. Flipping it over, a red dot appeared on the token.

Woo Zhengyang had learned from Fu Chuan that this red dot represented a Heavenly Martial Seed. He could see the person it represented, and they could see him too.

Encountering someone right at the start was a stroke of luck. The red dot was moving closer to Woo Zhengyang, and he had no intention of backing down, so he moved forward to meet them.

After a short walk, the red dot was near the center of the token, indicating the person was very close.

"Ah... Woo Zhengyang!" a clear female voice exclaimed.

The speaker was a young woman dressed in a vibrant green outfit. Fu Chuan hadn't mentioned her in his introductions, so Woo Zhengyang didn't know her name. However, he recognized her as a disciple of the Flying Snow Sect from Cloud Fluttering Country by the emblem on her clothing.

Before the woman could speak, Woo Zhengyang had already noticed her. They stood on opposite sides of the wide river, and Woo Zhengyang chose not to act hastily.

Fu Chuan had warned Woo Zhengyang more than once that the dangers in the Heavenly Martial Realm weren't just from other Heavenly Martial Seeds. The unique terrain could conceal unpredictable threats. Of course, within these dangers, there might also be opportunities, but those opportunities could turn out to be the real threats.

Without understanding the situation fully, even if a powerful martial technique was right in front of him, he knew better than to act recklessly.

"You don't know me, do you? I'm Tang Xiaoyue, the seventh inner disciple of the Snowfall Sect."

Woo Zhengyang was a bit puzzled as this woman, who introduced herself as Tang Xiaoyue, started a conversation with him...
