Chapter 18: Ultimate of All Ages – The Challenge Letter
The academy was still buzzing with rumors.
Li Yunxiao vs. Blue Xuan.
A fight between a former laughingstock and a top-ranked genius.
Most students didn’t believe Li Yunxiao stood a chance, but others weren’t so sure anymore.
“Blue Fei thought the same thing before Li Yunxiao destroyed him…”
“But Blue Xuan is completely different! He’s ranked third on the Windcloud List!”
“Yeah, but have you seen how calm Li Yunxiao is? It’s like he’s not even worried.”
While debates raged across the academy, a messenger was making his way toward Li Yunxiao’s dormitory, carrying a sealed challenge letter.
The moment he knocked on the door, Li Yunxiao’s voice rang out.
“You’re late.”
The messenger froze.
“How did he know I was coming?”
The Challenge is Delivered
The door swung open, revealing Li Yunxiao sitting calmly inside, sipping tea.
His golden eyes flickered with amusement as he took the envelope from the messenger’s trembling hands.
Breaking the seal, he scanned the message inside.
It was short and direct.
“Three days from now. The Grand Martial Arena. A battle to determine who is stronger.”
“Blue Xuan.”
A slow smirk curled on Li Yunxiao’s lips.
“Three days, huh? That’s plenty of time.”
The messenger hesitated before speaking.
“Blue Xuan instructed me to ask if you’re… accepting the challenge.”
Li Yunxiao chuckled.
“Oh, I’m accepting it.”
He stood up, exuding an undeniable aura of confidence.
“But tell Blue Xuan something for me.”
The messenger gulped. “Y-yes?”
Li Yunxiao’s smirk widened.
“Three days from now, I won’t just defeat him.”
“I’ll make him kneel.”
The messenger staggered back, the sheer arrogance in those words stunning him into silence.
With a trembling nod, he rushed off to deliver the message.
The Academy Reacts
By the time the messenger reached Blue Xuan, the news had already spread like wildfire.
“Did you hear what Li Yunxiao said?!”
“He’s not just planning to win—he wants to make Blue Xuan kneel!”
“Is he insane?!”
At the Blue Family’s estate, Blue Xuan sat cross-legged, cultivating in silence.
The moment he heard the messenger’s words, his eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing through them.
“He said what?”
The messenger repeated the words carefully, not daring to look Blue Xuan in the eye.
For a moment, there was silence.
Then—
CRACK!
The marble floor beneath Blue Xuan shattered under his crushing grip.
A terrifying aura erupted, shaking the room.
Li Yunxiao’s words weren’t just arrogance—they were a direct challenge to his status.
He slowly exhaled, regaining his composure.
“If he wants to make me kneel…”
His lips curled into a cruel smile.
“I’ll make sure he never stands again.”
The Final Countdown
The next three days flew by in a blur.
Students trained harder than ever, eager to impress the instructors who would be watching the duel.
Bets were placed across the academy—Blue Xuan was the overwhelming favorite, but some daring individuals were beginning to put money on Li Yunxiao.
Nobles and influential figures outside the academy caught wind of the fight and planned to attend in secret.
By the morning of the final day, the tension in the air was so thick it was suffocating.
The entire academy was waiting for one thing.
The Duel.
Li Yunxiao’s Final Preparation
Meanwhile, in the depths of the academy, Li Yunxiao sat in secluded meditation, refining his power.
His body was glowing faintly, radiating pure spiritual energy.
The pills he had refined earlier had boosted his recovery, allowing him to fully integrate the strength he had gained from his training.
His breath was steady, his mind sharper than ever.
Then, as he exhaled one final time, his golden eyes opened.
“I’m ready.”
The wait was over.
It was time to fight.
