Upon seeing the brute strength of Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Xuetong's eyes shrank slightly. She couldn't help but marvel at the powerful strength emanating from the little girl, but all of this was far from enough.

"Song of Heavenly Snow, Dance!"

Xiao Xue let out another soft shout, and countless icy battle qi from her body frantically poured into the long sword in her hand, which was covered with frost flowers. Her clothes fluttered, moving without wind, and her long black hair turned snow-white almost instantly. Her figure automatically rose higher, and countless snowflakes fell and flew up. An aura of an ice queen who reigned supreme swept in all directions.

She held a longsword covered in frost flowers and gently swung it forward. Instantly, ten frost swords, about the same size as before, condensed in front of and beside her, and slashed fiercely at Xiao Ziyan on the arena.

Wow! So many!

Xiao Ziyan's face turned a deep purplish-red, but in a flash, she gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and stomped hard on the bluestone of the arena, shattering it instantly. Using this powerful force, her slender body soared into the air like an ape, rushing towards the oncoming frost giant sword.

A chubby little hand suddenly slapped the frost greatsword that was shooting towards it from the side. Not only did it flip backward to dodge the sharp edge of the frost greatsword, but it also used the force of the blow to continue flying towards Xiao Xue in the sky.

boom!

Another frost-covered giant sword came flying at her. Xiao Ziyan quickly controlled her body to dodge, and then kicked the edge of one of the swords, shattering it and creating a gash. Using the force, she continued to rise, and was already only three zhang away from Xiao Xue.

"Little one, you really surprised your older sister, but..."

Holding a sword covered in frost flowers, Xiao Xue performed a sword technique in the sky. The frost flower sword in her hand shot out quickly, and then, guided by the flying frost flower sword, the giant frost swords from all directions changed direction and attacked Xiao Ziyan.

"Oh no! We're doomed!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ziyan turned pale. She waved her chubby little hands in front of her, and an invisible shield of power formed in front of her. She stretched out her chubby little hands and patted the invisible shield of power in front of her, "It's up to you, Fragrant Pig Shield!"

Almost as soon as Xiao Ziyan condensed into an invisible giant shield of power, the Frost Flower Longsword pulled ten enormous Frost Swords, which shot out and charged like primordial beasts.

Boom!

A massive explosion that pierced the heavens and earth shook all directions. Under the combined bombardment of eleven giant frost swords, the invisible shield of power in front of Xiao Ziyan was blasted down from mid-air, finally crashing into the tall arena, triggering a series of violent explosions and billowing smoke and dust.

Above the sky, Xiao Xue's clothes still fluttered, her three thousand strands of white hair swayed in the breeze, and her pair of cold, beautiful eyes looked down on the world like a high-ranking ice queen. The long sword covered with frost flowers had returned to her hand at some point, and the battle qi wings on her back, as white as snow, reflected a dreamlike, crystalline snow color in the sunlight.

"What's going on? Has the brute force king been defeated?"

On the arena, smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision and making it impossible to see what was happening inside. No one knew whether Xiao Ziyan was dead or alive.

"I guess so. After all, that beauty's swordsmanship and fighting skills are too powerful, and no one dares to compare with her icy fighting aura. I think that's probably the case!" A student next to him chimed in.

"This year's Inner Academy rankings are truly remarkable. So many freaks have emerged, all of them are at the Dou Wang level. It's unbelievable! There's even a top student who has advanced to the Dou Huang level. It's unbelievable!" A student who had been there for two or three years exclaimed in amazement.

"We'll probably be really proud to talk about this from now on, being classmates with a Dou Huang realm student, hehe, just thinking about it is awesome!"

Looking at the dust-covered arena before him, Xiao Xuanyuan knew that Xiao Ziyan had lost. This was not Xiao Ziyan's fault. Her greatest advantage was only her powerful physique and brute strength. Xiao Xue, on the other hand, had not only reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Wang realm, but also possessed exquisite swordsmanship and fighting skills. It was only a matter of time before Xiao Ziyan was defeated.

"Brother Xuanyuan, can you tell who lost?" Xun'er playfully tugged at Xiao Xuanyuan's arm and then leaned against it affectionately.

"Yes, Xiao Xue won!" Xiao Xuanyuan nodded.

“I think so too.” Xun’er looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.

"Cough cough."

Almost as soon as Xiao Xuanyuan made his judgment, a cough came from the smoke and dust filling the arena, and a small figure slowly walked out from it. It was Xiao Ziyan, who was in a disheveled state and whose clothes were somewhat tattered.

As soon as she stepped out of the dust, Xiao Ziyan's dirty little face covered in dust showed a bitter smile. "Big sister, I admit defeat, but how come you're just as perverted as that big bad uncle!"

"

Seeing that her opponent had finally admitted defeat, Xiao Xue breathed a long sigh of relief. Her snow-white hair instantly receded and returned to its original pure black color. Along with these changes, the terrifying icy aura emanating from Xiao Xue's body gradually dissipated, and she slowly descended to a still intact corner of the arena, which had been reduced to ruins.

Xiao Xue gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her slender hand. "Who is that big bad uncle you're talking about?!"

"That's him! He's the big bad uncle!" Little Ziyan's eyes scanned the area, and after a moment she found Xiao Xuanyuan's figure, pointing at him with her chubby little hand.

Xiao Xue looked in the direction Xiao Ziyan was pointing and saw Xiao Xuanyuan, who looked embarrassed and was about to turn around and run away. "It's him?!"

"It's him! The big bad uncle who's ranked number one on the inner courtyard's power list! I love him so much! When I grow up, I won't marry anyone else, I'll only marry him."

Everyone present was stunned as they looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, whose face was extremely embarrassed and who was constantly sweating.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Rumor Mongers Are Just Like This Example

The third round, the first match: Xiao Ziyan versus Xiao Xue!

Little Ziyan is defeated!

The second match is between Xun'er and Lin Xiuya!

Behind Xun'er stood the Gu Clan, one of the eight great families of the Central Continent. Her strength was beyond doubt; she was already at the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Wang level. Without a doubt, Liu Qing would be defeated!

Next up was the third match, Daphne versus Yan Hao. It was another crushing battle, and Daphne won!

One day later, the winners of the third round were Xiao Xue, Xun'er, Daphne, Han Yue, Xiao Yu, and Princess Yaoyue. The losers, Xiao Ziyan, Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, Little Witch, Xiao Mei, and Lan Yanke, will compete in the semi-finals to determine the eighth, ninth, and tenth place in the top ten.

The semi-finals began, and after another day, the final top ten rankings were determined: first place Xiao Xuanyuan, second place Xiao Xue, third place Xun'er, fourth place Daphne, fifth place Xiao Yu, sixth place Princess Yaoyue, seventh place Han Yue, eighth place Xiao Ziyan, ninth place Lin Xiuya, and tenth place Xiao Mei.

In addition, Yan Hao is ranked eleventh, the Little Witch is ranked twelfth, and Lan Yan is ranked thirteenth! With this, the ranking battle has ended!

After announcing the results of the Strong Ranking Battle, Elder Su Qian stood in front of the high platform and solemnly declared, "Because the competition in this Strong Ranking Battle was extremely fierce, a large number of young people with great potential have emerged. Our Inner Academy intends to promote some of these outstanding talents to become new elders of the Inner Academy!"

"

"Xiao Xuanyuan!"

Su Qian called out to Xiao Xuanyuan.

"I'm here!" Xiao Xuanyuan leaped up from the stage and landed on the high platform where he presided, facing the crowd in the inner courtyard.

"Now, in the name of the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, I hereby appoint you as the new Elder of the Inner Court, to serve as an honorary elder. Are you willing to accept this?!" Su Qian's eyes revealed undisguised admiration as he patted Xiao Xuanyuan on the shoulder.

"I am willing to accept the Grand Elder's appointment!" Xiao Xuanyuan nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations, you have become an honorary elder of the inner court!" Su Qian's usually stern face finally broke into a smile. "Everyone, please welcome our new honorary elder of the inner court, Elder Xiao!"

"

Su Qian gave up the main position and pushed Xiao Xuanyuan up, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

"My god, my god, the number one male god in the inner courtyard!"

"God of War, God of War, the number one God of War in the Inner Court!"

I love you, my idol.

"I love you, God of War"

The cheers and applause were deafening, wave after wave, as the female students were completely swept up in their fervor. The male students, in turn, offered their enthusiastic applause without reservation, for Xiao Xuanyuan was a legend! A legend of the Inner Academy!

That evening, Xiao Xuanyuan held a celebration banquet, inviting all his good friends, including Lu Mu, Wu Hao, and other old acquaintances from the Medicine Alliance, as well as Yu Bohao, the leader of the Earth Star Team, and even Yang Zhendong, the captain of the guard team in the Alchemist's Office.

Of course, the main characters are a group of beautiful women with whom he has an inextricable relationship, including Xun'er, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xue, Little Witch Hu Jia, Daphne, and Marina, with Xun'er as the leader.

The other faction consists of Ye Ningyan, Princess Yaoyue, Little Fairy Doctor, and Queen Medusa. This faction is led by Ye Ningyan. Princess Xiaoyue was not among those invited by Xiao Xuanyuan because he knew her mischievous nature and was afraid she would cause trouble.

Finally, there was another group of people, including Xiao Ziyan, Han Yue, Liu Fei, and others. In short, Xiao Xuanyuan sent people to invite everyone he could.

Since Xiao Xuanyuan had just entered the inner courtyard and did not have his own place to live, he had been eating and sleeping in the alchemist's office hall. He was either cultivating or constantly refining medicine, and he had no extra time to play or wander around the inner courtyard.

If it weren't for Xiao Ziyan constantly dragging Xiao Xuanyuan outside, ostensibly to keep him company, but really just to satisfy her gluttonous appetite and treat him like an ATM, buying him this and that and delicious food, Xiao Xuanyuan would never actually go out all day long.

In the alchemist's office hall, seeing all the women and his good friends present, Xiao Xuanyuan picked up a cup of wine and addressed the crowd, saying, "Now that I have become an honorary elder of the inner court, I am very happy today, so I invited everyone here to have some fun, drink some wine, and add to the festivities. This cup of wine is for everyone; I'll drink it first as a sign of respect." After saying this, Xiao Xuanyuan tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

At the table where Xun'er was the leader, she took the initiative to lead the other women to stand up and toast Xiao Xuanyuan, congratulating him on his successful appointment as an honorary elder of the inner court and his greatly increased strength.

At the table with Xiao Ziyan, Han Yue, and Liu Fei, Han Yue was the first to stand up, followed closely by Liu Fei. Xiao Ziyan blinked her big, dark, and bright eyes and followed suit, offering a toast to Xiao Xuanyuan.

Finally, it was Ye Ningyan's table. Little Fairy Doctor, Princess Yaoye, and Princess Xiaoyue were all there, but Queen Medusa was not. Ye Ningyan said that she did not want to come and brought a message for Xiao Xuanyuan to come see her alone when he was free, as she had something to talk to him about.

"I'm not offering a toast, so why should I, the princess, offer one? Who does he think he is? A womanizer, isn't marrying my sister enough?" Princess Yaoyue quickly covered Princess Xiaoyue's mouth, glared at her fiercely, and scolded, "Xiaoyue, don't talk nonsense!"

One sentence caused an uproar and sparked a lot of discussion.

"The boss is already married? How come I didn't know about this? When did this happen?" Lu Mu grabbed Wu Hao, who was standing next to him, his face full of questions.

"How would I know? But nothing stays hidden forever. Maybe the boss is already married."

"Let me tell you, the boss is having an affair with Elder Nangong, and they're even showing off their love in public! Am I right, Xue Junxi?" Tie Zhu's loud voice drew everyone's attention.

Originally, this guy was too talkative, and Xiao Xuanyuan would never have invited him. But this leech, along with Xue Junxi, shamelessly followed along.

"Yes, I even saw Elder Nangong straighten his collar in public. Isn't that strange? In front of everyone. If it weren't for that relationship..."

At Xun'er's table, especially Xun'er, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Mei, after hearing Tie Zhu and Xue Junxi's conversation, their eyes all turned sharply towards Xiao Xuanyuan.

Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Xiao Xuanyuan shouted, "Enough! This is a celebration banquet. This elder doesn't want to hear those so-called rumors. Please leave now!"

"

Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and made a grabbing motion towards Princess Xiaoyue. An invisible aura instantly enveloped the surroundings. Despite the distance of four or five meters, he still managed to grab the sister-in-law's neck and lift her up.

"Brother Xuanyuan!" Princess Yaoye immediately stood up, her eyes filled with a weak pleading look.

"Shut up!" Xiao Xuanyuan shouted coldly, grabbing his sister-in-law and throwing her away.

"Those who spread rumors are just like this!" Xiao Xuanyuan shouted coldly.

With both hands outstretched, Tie Zhu's burly body and Xue Junxi's slender stature were both grabbed by the neck and lifted up from more than ten meters away, brought to Xiao Xuanyuan's feet, and kicked away one by one. However, before flying away, Tie Zhu sent back a message: "I will definitely come back!"

Xue Junxi said, "Boss, I know I was wrong!"

After seeing her younger sister being thrown out, Princess Yaoye got up and chased after her.

Looking at the two guys he'd kicked so far away, Xiao Xuanyuan clapped his hands and addressed the crowd.

"Everything's alright now, let's continue drinking and celebrating!"

Chapter 49 Xun'er Left

Upon seeing Princess Xiaoyue and Tiezhu, Xue Junxi was thrown out. Everyone had strange expressions, but due to Xiao Xuanyuan's current authority, no one dared to say anything. However, Xun'er and the other girls did not look too good.

They weren't fools. If what Princess Xiaoyue said before might have been a rumor, then why would the members of the Medicine Alliance say the same thing? And who was Elder Nangong? He even straightened his man's collar in public. All of this was very suspicious.

The women drank their wine listlessly, their minds elsewhere, and soon the banquet came to an end.

After the banquet, Xiao Xuanyuan stood outside, looking somewhat dejected at the stars and night sky. Little Ziyan came skipping over and curiously approached, sitting down beside him. "Big bad uncle, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking at the stars, at the night sky, and at someone else on the horizon." Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and patted Xiao Ziyan's head, a smile on his face, his mood much better.

This little one is exquisitely beautiful, with delicate pink skin and big, bright black eyes that are always blinking. She is incredibly cute, and Xiao Xuanyuan's mood always improves whenever he sees Xiao Ziyan.
