Elder Area
The sect elders immediately stood up in shock, and Yu Yunzhi shouted out in shock. "What kind of technique is that? The two of them are the same, even their cultivations and auras are the same!"
"It's a clone technique, but I've never seen a clone technique like his. The clone technique I've seen only has fifty percent of the original body's abilities, but Xia Tian clone is one hundred percent the same as the original body." The elder in charge of the arena explained, as his eyes continued to observe the Xia Tian clone, and then he said again. "I really can't believe our sect accepted a genius disciple like him, a seventeen-year-old with Peak Stage Core Formation Realm cultivation, and he also possesses such an extraordinary clone technique."
"Elder Meng, he is not only a cultivation genius, but he is also a forging genius." Qin Qing said.
'He can even complete formation arrays that I haven't been able to complete in years.' Yu Yunzhi and the others turned to look at Feng Xian'er who had just arrived.
"Which formation are you referring to, Elder Feng?" Yu Yunzhi curiously asked.
Feng Xian'er smiled at her. 'The formation I discovered in that ancient ruin many years ago, Xia Tian completed that formation array.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What!? He managed to complete that formation?" Yu Yunzhi and the others naturally knew about the formation, as Feng Xian'er had researched it for many years, but she had never managed to complete it.
'It's a Mini Teleportation Formation, and he also said it can only be used in a small circle like our sect.' Feng Xian'er explained to them just as Xia Tian had said. 'Currently, I'm working on replicating that formation, and by using it we can move from hall to hall more quickly.'
Hearing that, Yu Yunzhi sighed softly. "Dual cultivation, Forging, Medical, Superb Clone Technique, and now Formation Array. I don't know how Liu Ying could have a son like him, this Xia Tian is a freaking genius!"
"Liu Ying? Xia Tian is Liu Ying's son?" Liu Tao asked in surprise. Of course, he knew Liu Ying because he also came from the Liu family, even though he was only from a branch family, Yu Yunzhi and Qin Qing nodded to him.
"No way! There's no way he is Liu Ying's son." Liu Tao said in disbelief.
"What do you mean by that, Sect Master Liu?" Qin Qing turned to ask. "You didn't come to Zhu Yuhe's coronation ceremony, I heard that Xia Tian called Liu Ying as his mother."
"How is that possible? As far as I know, Liu Ying's son is a cripple, and it was one of the main family's elders who crippled his son, since then Liu Ying cut ties with the Liu family." Liu Tao explained to them, that the news about Xia Tian being crippled by Liu Rouyan had become a common topic among the Liu family. "Moreover, about three months ago, I heard that Liu Ying's son almost died in the forest, and he even fell into a coma for quite a while."
Yu Yunzhi and the others were dumbfounded by Liu Tao's explanation, they both believed and doubted his words. But because Liu Tao himself was also a member of the Liu family, they chose to believe his explanation.
But suddenly, Chen Luan joined in. "You are right about that, Sect Master Liu. However, you don't know the rest of the story, Xia Tian managed to survive death. In addition, Liu Ying met an old alchemist from the Holy Central Continent, and he gave her an alchemy recipe to restore spiritual roots, therefore Xia Tian can cultivate."
"Eh!?" They were completely shocked by Chen Luan's explanation.
If three months ago Xia Tian was still a crippled, that meant Xia Tian had managed to reach his current cultivation in just three months, and they had never heard of anyone cultivating that fast before. Not even Liu Tao and Yu Yunzhi who were dual cultivators, they were unable to cultivate as fast as him. While they were in shock by that, they heard Xia Tian shouting at Elder Meng.

Arena
Xia Tian turned to Elder Meng and asked loudly. "Elder, what if they die?"
Yu Yunzhi and the others were astonished by Xia Tian's confidence, the sect disciples watching were also stunned by Xia Tian's question.
"Everything that happens in the Arena is their own responsibility, deaths in the arena are inevitable and not the responsibility of the sect, but I hope-"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore Elder Meng could finish speaking, XIa Tian had cut him off. "Is that so?"
In an instant, two swords appeared in the hands of the two Xia Tian. The real Xia Tian was holding the Qingfeng Sword, while the clone was holding the Crimson Phoenix Sword. Ever since he almost lost control in the Xia family competition, he had never used the Asura Demon Sword again.

Elder Area
"No! Sect Master Yu! We better stop their fight quickly!" Qin Qing's sudden panicked cry startled Yu Yunzhi and the others.
"What's wrong with you, Elder Qin? Why are you suddenly panicking? You know that we can't interfere in what happens in the Arena." Yu Yunzhi asked in confusion at Qin Qing's panicked reaction.
Qin Qing who was present at Zhu Yuhe's event instantly recognized the Qingfeng Sword, because Xia Tian had used it to kill Luo Chengsu as well as Old Patriarch Luo. She then took a deep breath and said. "If we don't stop this fight, then it will be a tragedy for our sect."
Yu Yunzhi raised an eyebrow and asked. "What do you mean, Elder Qin?"
"Do you guys remember my story about the tragedy that befell the Luo family during Zhu Yuhe's event?" Yu Yunzhi and the others nodded to her, and Qin Qing then continued. "The sword in Xia Tian's hand is the sword that man used to kill Luo Chengsu and Old Patriarch Luo!"
"What!? But how is that possible? Didn't you say that person's aura is very strong? How could Xia Tian-?"
"Dunno, but I wasn't wrong about the sword, it was indeed the sword that person used." Suddenly, they felt extremely strong killing intent, then they looked at the arena again. And Qin Qing, with a trembling body, said again. "I... I remember this killing intent! It was him! He... He was the one who destroyed the Luo family!"
