Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

“I’ll go!”

With a coquettish shout, a red light enveloped a figure as it leapt onto the stage. When the red light dissipated, the person revealed herself to be Du Lingdai from Miaoyun Pavilion.

“The challenge on the arena officially begins!” With the announcement, protective shields rose around the arena to prevent the surrounding spectators from getting accidentally injured.

Gu Yao and his three companions were surrounded by a group of female students. Jiang Yan seemed relaxed and at ease, while Tian Feirong and the chubby boy fidgeted, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. However, they didn’t leave due to their discomfort; they still wanted to cheer for Du Lingdai.

In the blink of an eye, the two contestants on the stage began fighting—one wielding a black heavy sword and the other wielding a fiery red whip. It was obvious to everyone that neither of them was holding back; the battle was extremely intense.

“Brother Ye, which one of the two do you think has the upper hand?”

To Gu Yao, the two seemed to be of equal strength, so what they were probably comparing was their combat experience. On the surface, it seemed that Wu Meng had the edge, but Du Lingdai’s strikes were sharp and precise. As the whip lashed out, a streak of flame followed, leaving a black, heated mark on the stage. If this had landed on a person, they would surely be burned.

Chi Changye watched for a moment before speaking: “Their combat strength isn’t far apart. It depends on who has more hidden tricks up their sleeve. It’s hard to say.”

Jiang Yan, who had overheard, nodded in agreement: “Wu Meng went into seclusion for a while before this match, and only recently caught up to Du Junior Sister’s level. But judging by how confident Wu Meng looks, he might be holding something back. As junior Chi said, we can’t say for sure who will win until all their cards are revealed.”

With a loud “Boom!” the arena erupted with astonishing energy. The two fighters quickly separated, both glaring at each other with uneven breathing. This confirmed Chi Changye and Jiang Yan’s words—both were equally matched, and it was uncertain who would win or lose.

Suddenly, Wu Meng burst into loud laughter. He took a jade vial from his storage ring, poured out a red pill, and threw it into his mouth. Immediately, his aura surged, and someone shouted, “Oh no! That’s a Xuan Explosion Pill, one that can temporarily boost cultivation! Where did Wu Meng get his hands on one of those?!”

“Bad news, his cultivation just jumped to the ninth level of Qi Refining! What now? Can Du Senior Sister still defeat him? This guy really came prepared!”

Wu Meng laughed even more arrogantly, his pride and confidence at their peak.

Du Lingdai gritted her teeth and immediately took out a fiery red pearl. The pearl floated above her, releasing a scorching light, and slowly descended, gradually merging into Du Lingdai’s body. At the same time, her face twitched in agony, and she appeared to be in extreme pain. The surrounding spectators gasped in shock.

Jiang Yan explained, “This is a Fire Spirit Pearl. It can temporarily boost the strength of fire-element cultivators, but since it forces a rapid enhancement, it will definitely injure the meridians afterward. The aftereffects are worse than that of a Xuan Explosion Pill. However, if the person has a naturally fire-attribute body, there won’t be any negative effects.”

Gu Yao recognized it as well. The Fire Spirit Pearl was a rare and valuable treasure, but it could only be used by fire-element cultivators.

With a loud “Boom!” Du Lingdai’s body was enveloped in flames. Wu Meng clearly hadn’t expected her to possess such a treasure and to use it without regard for the consequences. His face twisted with a malicious grin as he swung his heavy sword toward Du Lingdai, drawing curses from the spectators. However, there was no room for manners or compromise in the arena—only victory or defeat.

Du Lingdai, whose eyes had been closed just moments ago, suddenly opened them. She swung her whip, and from it flew a fire serpent, several times larger than before. It collided with Wu Meng’s attack.

“Bang!”

The explosive shockwave nearly overturned the entire arena. At the same time, both figures were sent flying backward. Du Lingdai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which was quickly burned away by the spirit fire. In comparison, Wu Meng only had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which he casually wiped away before grinning as he advanced toward Du Lingdai.

“We concede! We concede this battle!” Tao Yue immediately shouted, looking heartbroken as she gazed at Du Lingdai, who was still determined to rise and continue fighting despite her obvious injuries.

“Miaoyun Pavilion concedes! This battle belongs to the Mad Snake Gang!” The referee quickly declared the result. If Wu Meng continued his attack, he would face punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall, so he was forced to stop, though his expression remained one of unwillingness.

The protective shield was removed, and Tao Yue quickly rushed onto the stage with several female students to help Du Lingdai down. She fed Du Lingdai a healing pill, but even with the gentle movement, Du Lingdai’s face still showed signs of pain. It was clear that her meridians had suffered serious damage.

“Miaoyun Pavilion, who else is unwilling to concede? Come, step forward!” Wu Meng arrogantly shouted from the stage, and his followers from the Mad Snake Gang joined in, jeering and making insulting remarks.

“I’ll go.” Tao Yue, though aware of how slim the chances were, knew that they couldn’t back down now. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

“I’ll go!” A cold voice rang out from the crowd, causing everyone to turn their gaze toward the source. Gu Yao’s four companions were suddenly highlighted, and the speaker was none other than Chi Changye. He strode forward confidently, with Gu Yao and the others following closely behind. Jiang Yan leisurely walked with his hands behind his back.

“You…” Tao Yue never expected that the person who spoke up would be him. Wasn’t he Gu Yao’s attendant?

“Who is that person?” Many of the spectators from Miaoyun Pavilion and the Mad Snake Gang murmured in confusion.

“Those four are the new students who offended the Mad Snake Gang, aren’t they?”

“Isn’t the person in the front one of the attendants brought in by the new students? When did attendants become so powerful? Dare to challenge in the arena?”

“What exactly do these four people have that made Senior Sister Du and Senior Sister Tao fight so hard for them?”

Just now, Du Lingdai clearly showed a desperate determination, even risking her own serious injuries. Even some of the Miaoyun Pavilion female students, who didn’t know the full story, felt it was a bit unjustified.

“Did you see that Jiang Yan is walking with them? It seems they have a good relationship with Jiang Yan. Now, their identities are becoming more mysterious.”

“I’ll go.” Chi Changye said firmly again. Tao Yue would only bring defeat, but Chi Changye wasn’t fighting for Miaoyun Pavilion or Tao Yue; he was fighting for Gu Yao and the four of them.

Tao Yue shifted her gaze to Gu Yao. This should be Gu Yao’s decision, right? Gu Yao smiled: “I’m sorry for making things difficult for the senior sisters earlier. This is caused by us, and we should not back down.”

“Alright, but the sisters of Miaoyun Pavilion are not to be underestimated. You will still have the protection of Miaoyun Pavilion,” Tao Yue compromised.

“Good.” Gu Yao nodded slightly. Of course, cooperation would continue; after all, there were only four of them, and relying solely on Chi Changye for protection wouldn’t be enough.

At that moment, Gu Yao deeply realized how important it was to increase their cultivation. If someone dared to come at them, the four of them should rush forward together and defeat the enemy mercilessly.

Chi Changye glanced at Gu Yao, then leaped onto the arena. His appearance and demeanor drew applause from the crowd, but when they saw the identity token on him, the applause turned to boos. How could he be just an attendant?

Wu Meng also saw it. He gave a mocking thumbs down and sneered: “So it’s you guys hiding behind women, letting them represent you softlings. Pretty boy, not hiding anymore? Then let me teach you what it means to be a man!”

“Ha! You’ve cultivated more than others for so many years, but that doesn’t make you a man. People like you are the disgrace of men!”

Chi Changye remained expressionless, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion. Trying to insult Chi Changye with words? That clearly had no effect.

The protective shield of the arena rose again. Just as it was closing, Wu Meng suddenly snapped and charged at Chi Changye, aiming his heavy sword straight at Chi Changye’s heart. The Miaoyun Pavilion people gasped. In the next moment, the sword struck the center of Chi Changye’s chest, and Wu Meng’s face showed a triumphant expression.

However, the spectators below were once again startled. The figure struck by the heavy sword rippled and then dissolved into light spots. Behind Wu Meng, the figure that should have been pierced reappeared.

In other words, the figure that was struck earlier was just an afterimage. Chi Changye’s speed was so fast that it deceived Wu Meng’s eyes. After realizing this, the Mad Snake Gang members no longer had any smug expressions. Hope flickered in the eyes of Tao Yue and the others. They never expected such a twist here. Who exactly is Chi Changye, and could it be that the person he follows, Gu Yao, has an even greater background?

As the afterimage disappeared, Wu Meng finally realized he had been tricked. He quickly turned around, only to find Chi Changye standing right behind him, still holding his sword in its sheath, never having unsheathed it. Compared to the panicked Wu Meng, the difference in their demeanor was clear.

Chi Changye continued to coldly stare at Wu Meng, while Wu Meng felt deeply humiliated. With a roar, he lunged at Chi Changye again, not believing he could be defeated so easily.

Chi Changye flashed again, but this time, not only did his body move, but his hand also moved so quickly that it was almost a blur. All that could be heard was Wu Meng’s scream of pain, followed by the heavy sound of something falling to the ground. The onlookers gasped in surprise. Chi Changye had drawn his sword, but the sword was still in its sheath. He had used the sheath itself to strike Wu Meng’s wrist, causing the sword in Wu Meng’s hand to fall. Wu Meng couldn’t believe what had just happened.

Chi Changye flashed once more, kicking Wu Meng’s large body, sending him flying. If not for the protective shield, Wu Meng would have been thrown off the stage. At the same time, Chi Changye’s figure closed in again, swinging his sword, but again, he didn’t unsheathe it. Instead, he pointed the tip of the still-sheathed sword at Wu Meng’s throat.

“Glug,” many people unconsciously swallowed their saliva. Wu Meng’s aura from the Xuan Explosion Pill hadn’t subsided yet, meaning Chi Changye had easily defeated the ninth-level Qi Refining Wu Meng with just a few moves, without even drawing his sword.

This realization caused another round of gasps. It was terrifying.

Tao Yue, Du Lingdai, and the others were dazzled, while Jiang Yan’s eyes showed a flicker of surprise. He still couldn’t determine the full depth of Chi Changye’s abilities. It was clear he hadn’t used his full strength, but this person was still unfathomable. Despite not having reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the aura he displayed in every movement was no weaker than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was truly strange.

“Do you admit defeat?” Chi Changye said coldly.

At that moment, Wu Meng’s aura began to slowly subside. Realizing his situation, Wu Meng knew he had no chance to retaliate and could only grit his teeth in defeat: “I admit defeat! Who are you? Let me remember your name.”

Chi Changye sheathed his sword and began to walk away. “I am Gu Yao’s attendant, a new student.”

Wu Meng spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been defeated by an unknown person?
