On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Silence fell over the place, and shock registered on the faces of all the disciples as they struggled to comprehend what had just occurred.

The air thickened with confusion and disbelief.

"Brother Yin Huiliang was defeated just like that..."

"Hu Jianyu was really hiding his true strength," murmured one disciple.

"With his strength, he could probably aim for the position of first-rank Outer disciple," added another female disciple, her voice filled with awe.

Her eyes sparkled as she watched Hu Jianyu leave the stage.

"So handsome..." she whispered to herself, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. Many other females in the crowd couldn't help but steal glances at Hu Jianyu.

There was no woman who didn't feel a strong attraction towards a man with potential and power.

As for the male disciples, some felt a mixture of admiration and envy for Hu Jianyu.

Hu Jianyu's presence seemed to ignite a fire within them, awakening their desires.

Leaving the stage, Hu Jianyu wore a confident smile that only made the girls in the crowd swoon even more.

'Damn bastard, who would have thought that he got his hands on a top-notch Grade 2 technique? It would be bad for me if I didn't react on time.' Hu Jianyu thought to himself, anger flowing through his mind, but he kept it inside his heart.

'I will sleep with that trash woman tonight and make him regret ever crossing me,' he vowed silently.

As he walked further into the crowd, Hu Jianyu noticed envious glares directed his way.

He enjoyed the attention and the sense of power it brought him.

Abruptly, his eyes widened. "Miss Yin Yun!" As he was leaving, Hu Jianyu caught sight of a familiar figure in the distance.

'What is she doing here?'

Unlike new disciples, older disciples like Hu Jianyu knew who Yin Yun was – a Core disciple with a master among the sect's top elders, a genius in cultivation, and from an influential family.

Hu Jianyu couldn't understand why someone of her status would be present in a place like this.

'Let's greet her before leaving,' Hu Jianyu thought. It would be good to leave a positive impression on her.

Intrigued, he quickened his pace, weaving through the crowd to meet Yin Yun.

As he approached her, his eyes narrowed. Two new faces, unfamiliar to Hu Jianyu, were talking to her; they seemed close and familiar with each other.

'Wow, a goddess,' Hu Jianyu's eyes landed on Su Bingxin's figure, captivated by her beauty. He had never seen a woman with such grace and elegance before.

Her radiant smile and the way her beautiful white hair flowed in the wind made her look like a celestial being.

Hu Jianyu felt a flame ignite within him—a burning desire to get to know this enchanting woman. He couldn't help but be drawn to her magnetic aura and the mysterious air that surrounded her.

'I need to get this woman on my bed!' Hu Jianyu decided to approach her, hoping to charm her with his wit and charm.

He couldn't bear the thought of letting this opportunity slip away; he was determined to make her his.

'What a surprise Miss Yun is talking and smiling!' Hu Jianyu thought.

Hu Jianyu couldn't help but be surprised. Yin Yun had a reputation for rarely talking with anyone, yet here she was engaging in conversation with these strangers.

He frowned as his gaze landed on the man next to Yin Yun.

Hu Jianyu's instincts told him that there was something off about this man, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

'Brother Hou Feng will be pissed if he ever finds out about this,' Hu Jianyu thought to himself.

A cold sweat formed on Hu Jianyu's forehead as he contemplated the consequences of this, so he quickened his pace.

"So, Chen Tian, do you have a place you want to go next?" Since the fight had ended, Yin Yun asked Chen Tian if he had any specific destination in mind.

Yin Yun wanted to continue guiding them through the sect, as there were many places they had yet to visit, but a sudden voice interrupted their conversation.

"Greetings, Senior Sister." Hu Jianyu greeted Yin Yun with a slight bow.

Yin Yun frowned after seeing Hu Jianyu interrupt their conversation.

"Hu Jianyu, what do you want?" Yin Yun asked, her annoyance evident in her tone. She didn't like Hu Jianyu, as it was clear from her voice.

"Miss Yun, I saw you from afar and wanted to greet you. I hope I didn't disturb your conversation too much."

Hu Jianyu said with a smile on his face, trying to appear friendly despite Yin Yun's obvious annoyance.

"Just say what you want," Yin Yun said, her irritation growing. "I don't have time for your games."

"Haha, Miss Yun, you never cease to amaze me with your sharp tongue," Hu Jianyu chuckled, undeterred by Yin Yun's hostility.

Chen Tian and Su Bingxin were shocked to witness Yin Yun's sharp tongue and harsh words towards Hu Jianyu.

They had never seen her react so aggressively before. They exchanged glances, unsure of how to intervene in the escalating tension between the two.

Chen Tian slowly spoke up, "Yin Yun, is something bothering you?"

Hearing Chen Tian call Yin Yun by her name, Hu Jianyu frowned even more.

From the identity token on Chen Tian's waist, Hu Jianyu realized that Chen Tian was a new disciple. This added an extra layer of tension to the already heated situation.

'Fuck, this kid really wants to die.'

"Hey trash! How dare you call her by her name and speak to her like that? Know your place!" Hu Jianyu shouted angrily, his face turning red with rage.

"...What?" Chen Tian was taken aback by the sudden outburst.

He could feel the hostility coming from the man, but Chen Tian couldn't understand why.

"Hu Jianyu, how dare you speak to him like that? Apologize immediately!" Yin Yun demanded, her voice filled with anger.

"Miss Yun, I hope you understand that this man has disrespected you. I cannot stand by and allow him to get away with it," Hu Jianyu responded, his voice filled with coldness.

Chen Tian stood there, feeling confused and caught in the middle of the escalating tension. Su Bingxin approached his side and took his arm gently.

An action that didn't escape Hu Jianyu's sharp eyes. He turned his gaze towards Su Bingxin, and a smile appeared on his face, softening his cold demeanor. "Miss, can I have the honor to know your name?" he said politely.

His anger seemed to dissipate as he focused his attention on Su Bingxin. Chen Tian watched the interaction, and a frown appeared on his face.

The idea to obliterate that guy came to his mind, but he still held back as he was in the sect.

"Sorry, but I don't want to give you my name," Su Bingxin replied firmly with a cold tone, grasping Chen Tian's arm tightly.

She didn't like the man in front of her; not only did he give her a bad feeling, but he dared to insult her husband, and Su Bingxin felt a surge of protectiveness towards him.

Anger flashed in Hu Jianyu's eyes as Su Bingxin refused to give her name.

Just as he was about to speak, Yin Yun stepped forward and said, "Hu Jianyu, leave her alone."

"Miss Yun, I just wanted to know the name of your friend I..."

"Humph, a womanizer like you doesn't deserve to know her name," Yin Yun interrupted, her voice dripping with disdain.

"Now, leave us be or face the consequences." Hu Jianyu's face turned red with anger, but he wisely chose to back down and leave.

"You should probably leave," said Chen Tian. This time he stepped forward, his voice calm but firm. "We don't need any trouble here."

Chen Tian didn't really want any problems... yet.

He still has many things he wants to do, so he has no time for unnecessary conflicts, but if this guy wanted to target his dear Su Bingxin Chen, Tian would teach him a lesson that he would never forget. Chen Tian may appear calm and collected, but he possessed a fierce determination to protect those he cared about.

"Trash, you shouldn't step forward," Hu Jianyu said, his eyes narrowing. "You have no idea who you're messing with." His words held a warning.

"You think you can intimidate me with your words?" Chen Tian retorted, his tone steady and composed.

"I suggest you leave before things escalate." He had no desire to engage in pointless arguments, but if this person wanted to provoke him further, Chen Tian was prepared to beat the shit out of him.

Even if Hu Jianyu was at the Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm, Chen Tian wasn't the slightest bit worried.

With his cultivation at the 3rd Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, he could fight a 5th-stage cultivator and win, a great achievement considering the difficulty of overcoming the barrier between the 3rd and 4th stages.

For example, the first level and the third level are still considered in the early stages, but from the fourth to sixth level, they are in the mid-stages, which require a significant increase in strength.

With his other abilities, like the new technique he acquired using the elemental crystal, Chen Tian was sure he could boost his strength to a terrifying level. Not to mention that his mastery over the sword had reached the pinnacle of perfection.

With his current body, using Sword Aura to the fifth level wouldn't be a problem.

"Stop, who do you think you are to talk to my friend like that?" Yin Yun interjected, her voice filled with frustration. "Apologize immediately and leave!"

Yin Yun's anger was palpable as she glared at Hu Jianyu, who had disrespected Chen Tian.

'Damn, are you defending that man!' Hu Jianyu thought angrily. He could feel his face turning red with rage.

Yin Yun looked really angry. Hu Jianyu didn't want to escalate the situation any further. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

'Just wait, I will surely tell Senior Brother Hou Feng,' Hu Jianyu thought to himself, simmering with anger.

He knew that involving Senior Brother Hou Feng would only worsen the situation.

"Miss Yun, with all due respect, I apologize and leave, but I will let Senior Brother Hou Feng know about this matter."

"Scram!" Yin Yun shouted, her voice filled with fury. She couldn't believe Hu Jianyu had the audacity to threaten her.

The commotion attracted many curious onlookers, who watched the heated exchange unfold with wide eyes.

Some whispered amongst themselves, eager to catch every word of the escalating confrontation. Others quickly scattered, not wanting to get caught in the middle of the brewing storm.

Hu Jianyu took a deep breath and left. He didn't forget to glance back at Chen Tian with a deadly look, his eyes filled with anger.

After he left, Yin Yun's anger boiled inside her.
