In order to challenge other martial academies, one must offer a tempting prize, otherwise the other party will not accept the challenge. This is akin to gambling!

Cloud Knife stroked his chin and glanced at Zhu Rong, asking, "Old Zhu, which inner martial academy should we challenge"

Zhu Rong, although he was in the Supreme Martial Sect, could also be considered as a businessman. Cloud Knife definitely knew which martial academies were easier to challenge.

Zhu Rong smiled slightly, "Do you finally understand my usefulness now Hehe, I've been waiting for this day. Based on our combined strength, we can easily take down the 400th martial academy. Even better, we could aim for the 350th!"

Cloud Knife frowned slightly and said, "That's still too conservative, at least we need to aim for the 200th spot."

If they hadn't merged with the Unmatched Sect, their current ranking was around the 329th place.

Zhu Rong looked at Shen Xiang and said, "Shen Xiang, we need to steadily climb the ranks. If we fail to challenge a martial academy, we'll suffer significant losses."

"I'll cover the stakes and the prizes. Let's go for the 200th martial academy." Cloud Knife patted his chest without a care.

Shen Xiang suddenly smiled and said, "Then let me cover the stakes. Only aiming for the 200th martial academy is too low Cloud Knife, you're underestimating yourself! How about the 16th"

"What Elder Shen, don't joke," Cloud Knife shook his head.

Zhu Rong also thought he was joking, "Shen Xiang, the 16th martial academy is the First Inner Courtyard. The inner gate disciples there are the strongest, and there are even ten of them!"

Shen Xiang said with a faint smile, "Just ten It seems much easier than I thought! I'll bet five spirit fruits; do you think they will accept the challenge"

Cloud Knife and Zhu Rong realized that Shen Xiang didn't seem to be lying!

When Shen Xiang was at the 9th level of the Profound Martial Realm, his strength already matched that of someone in the tenth level. But now that Shen Xiang had entered the Profound Martial Realm, his strength had greatly improved. To what extent would it increase

Cloud Knife and Zhu Rong thought about this, feeling a chill across their bodies, because it was truly terrifying!

"Do you dare to fight If not, I'll do it myself and let you guys move into the martial academy later!" Shen Xiang said. With confidence, he could take on ten people simultaneously.

"Don't underestimate me. Although I've only been in the inner courtyard for a short time, if I use all my strength, those First Inner Courtyard guys aren't special!" Cloud Knife gritted his teeth and fiercely said, "I'll fight with them; let's go!"

Shen Xiang and Cloud Knife looked at Zhu Rong. In their minds, Zhu Rong was a small-minded cowardly fatty who had little combat ability.

Zhu Rong saw their disdainful looks and felt an urge within him. He loudly said, "You two scoundrels! Are you looking down on me I'll tell you; my appearance is just to deceive others, but my real strength is very impressive! Fighting against those First Inner Courtyard guys There's nothing to fear; I've been wanting to do this for a long time!"

"Haha, seeing that fat ass's face alone should be enough to scare those people to wet their pants." Cloud Knife laughed heartily.

"Don't waste time, let's go now!" Zhu Rong spat.

Shen Xiang also laughed heartily and walked ahead, heading towards the 16th martial academy.

Along the main road of Supreme Martial Sect, three people with fierce auras walked. The middle person was健壯的young man, and beside him were two others—a small boy and a chubby fatty. Their ages appeared to be under twenty, but at this moment, their bodies were full of murderous intent.

People who saw them couldn't help but make way!

"This seems to be Shen Xiang, the man who incapacitated Fang Liang with just one move. He's from the Mortal World, took a True Martial Realm alchemist as his disciple, won the alchemy competition this year, and is even the elder's thorn in his eye." One person whispered.

Because Shen Xiang hadn't done anything notable in the past few days, Zhu Rong had limited knowledge about him. However, hearing Shen Xiang's various accomplishments now made them marvel in surprise.

"Fatty, where are you guys going" A middle-aged man with a long beard walked over. He was Hao Dongqing, a True Martial Realm martial artist who had given Shen Xiang a small help when he arrived at Supreme Martial Sect.

"Uncle, we're going to fight the First Inner Courtyard. Do you want to watch" Zhu Rong smiled proudly, but his words left everyone around him stunned!

Three of them were going to fight the First Inner Courtyard. It felt like they were being foolish, daring to do such a crazy thing!

Hao Dongqing was also surprised, but seeing Shen Xiang's堅定 eyes, he faintly smiled and said, "Your fatty has found a good friend. Finally able to do something out of the ordinary! I need to help spread this news, let's gather my brothers and watch together. By the way, I'll bet a small amount!"

Hao Dongqing left, and the people around him also left. Since three fools were challenging the First Inner Courtyard, it was a great spectacle and they needed their friends to watch as well.

The First Inner Courtyard was the 16th martial academy, only one less than the True Transmitted Disciple's Academy in terms of numbering. However, their locations were vastly different. Currently, from the 1st to the 15th martial academy had moved into the Mystical Realm, enjoying the dense Qi essence inside.

Outside the Mystical Realm could only be the martial academies numbered higher than 16.

The 16th martial academy was huge; it used to be the number one martial academy, resembling a manor. On top of the huge arena filled with people was the disciples who had gathered there, consisting mainly of outer or inner gate disciples.

"Wow, they even have guards!" Cloud Knife stood by the gate and listened to the loud shouts coming from inside. Looking at the thousands of people training in that large plaza, he said with a sigh, "This isn't just a martial academy; this is like having an army training in a small city!"

This was the strength of the First Inner Courtyard. The elders of Supreme Martial Sect didn't oppose the students forming factions, as long as they didn’t break the rules of the sect. This was allowed.

We just want this plaque! Zhu Rong pointed at a number tag beside the gate. If they succeed in their challenge, they can hang this plaque in front of their martial academy for a significant benefit.

Shen Xiang took in a slight breath and said with clear voice, "Martial Academy 500 challenges your esteemed academy. The stakes are five spirit fruits. If you accept the challenge, please come out quickly to discuss!"

The noisy 16th martial academy was suddenly quiet. Shen Xiang's voice, from a thick Qi essence, reverberated throughout the martial academy, making it clear to hear.

But everyone inside doubted that they had heard wrong, because the ones challenging were actually Martial Academy 500. They knew that usually challengers for this martial academy would be below the 50th rank!

However, those spirit fruits were indeed very tempting.Patriarch, save us quickly! We'll definitely reward you greatly!" Huo Caoyong saw the purple light and excitedly cried out."Save your sister!" Shen Xiang shouted coldly. The divine sword slashed down...
