Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1888 - 1885: Overestimating Oneself

Liu Annan was also in shock, never imagining that this newcomer would be so arrogant.

He widened his eyes, scrutinizing Xu Wendong from head to toe, as if trying to find a trace of cowardice in him.

Only Li Jiayin quietly watched Xu Wendong, a subtle trace of satisfaction flickering in her eyes.

She thought to herself, this junior disciple of hers is truly arrogant, but he has the capital to be so.

In her view, men should possess such drive, be proactive and move forward bravely.

In the past, those who secretly admired her always acted timidly in front of her, lacking any manly spirit, which just filled her with disgust.

Yet Xu Wendong’s arrogant demeanor inexplicably struck a chord within her.

"Junior, you haven’t mastered any divine skills yet, how about we reschedule the challenge?" Li Jiayin slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile.

This smile, like the warm sun of spring, instantly dispelled the surrounding cold, causing a flutter in everyone’s hearts.

Seeing this, Liu Annan felt a surge of jealousy and resentment.

In the Heavenly Nether Sect, no one had ever made the "Iceberg Beauty" Li Jiayin smile, but this newcomer achieved it.

He clenched his fist, his nails nearly piercing into his palm, the anger in his heart burning fiercely.

"No need, let’s do it today. As for divine skills, I just found one I fancy." Xu Wendong said, bending down to pick up a dusty ancient book from the shelf.

"Dark Dragon Walking Step?" The crowd saw the title and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Their eyes were filled with confusion and worry, as if there was some particular dread about this book.

"Junior, although this is our Heavenly Nether Sect’s Fourth Grade Divine Power Technique, it is a fragmented text, incomplete and impossible to cultivate fully."

"For years, many seniors have tried, and without exception, all have failed."

"Moreover, forcibly cultivating it might lead to deviation!" Li Jiayin said anxiously, her eyes full of concern, afraid that Xu Wendong might make the wrong choice due to impulsiveness.

Liu Annan burst into laughter, his eyes full of mockery: "Senior Sister, this junior is truly aiming too high. Who doesn’t want to cultivate the Dark Dragon Walking Step? But this body technique divine power is incomplete, merely famous in name."

"With such a large appetite, he’s not afraid of bursting!"

Faced with Liu Annan’s taunt, Xu Wendong remained composed. He gently blew the dust off the ancient book, opened the pages, and began to study them intently.

Quickly, he had confidence in his heart.

At that moment, the Nine Netherworlds Manual in his mind suddenly began to operate on its own, seemingly repairing the Dark Dragon Walking Step.

"The Nine Netherworlds Manual has such effects?" Xu Wendong was startled, initially worried he had made the wrong choice, but surprisingly, the Nine Netherworlds Manual was capable of automatically repairing incomplete divine skills.

He was secretly delighted; if this Fourth Grade Body Technique Divine Power could be cultivated fully, it would be considered top-grade.

Unfortunately, due to its incompleteness, no one in the Heavenly Nether Sect had been able to cultivate it over the years, yet now he had stumbled upon this opportunity.

With the aid of the Nine Netherworlds Manual, Xu Wendong’s comprehension ability significantly increased.

He repeatedly browsed the ancient book, and after merely two readings, he was able to preliminarily exhibit the body technique within.

Suddenly, his figure flickered like a black lightning bolt, moving at such a speed that it dazzled the observers.

"Junior, why not choose a few other divine skills?" Li Jiayin was genuinely anxious this time, her voice carrying a hint of tremor, her eyes full of worry.

Xu Wendong curled his lips into a mysterious smile, leaned close to Li Jiayin, and softly said, "Senior Sister, if I could repair this divine skill, how do you plan to reward me?"

Li Jiayin’s beautiful eyes flashed a hint of doubt, looking at Xu Wendong, she countered, "What reward do you want?"

Xu Wendong squinted his eyes, whispering by Li Jiayin’s ear, "If I can repair this divine skill, it’s a substantial contribution to the Heavenly Nether Sect."

"A complete, cultivable Fourth Grade Divine Skill would draw considerable attention within the sect."

"If I succeed, thereafter you must follow my lead, Senior Sister." He said while staring into Li Jiayin’s eyes, full of expectation.

"Follow... follow your lead..." Li Jiayin was slightly taken aback, clearly not anticipating such a request from Xu Wendong.

Her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes showing a trace of confusion, unable to fully comprehend the meaning behind Xu Wendong’s words.

Xu Wendong didn’t elaborate further, he turned and approached Liu Annan with a stern expression, resolutely saying, "Let’s begin, get ready!"

Having said that, he prepared himself, his eyes flashing with a battle-ready light, resembling a predator about to pounce.

The anger in Liu Annan’s heart flowed like molten lava, boiling within his chest.

He watched as Xu Wendong whispered to Li Jiayin, their intimate demeanor, like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart.

In the Heavenly Nether Sect, Li Jiayin was lauded as the foremost beauty, her every move tugging at the heartstrings of countless disciples; which disciple didn’t yearn to get close to her?

Even if just for a moment of interaction, having a deeper connection with her, they would willingly trade ten years of their lives.

However, these people didn’t possess such fortune; Li Jiayin treated them with icy indifference, keeping them at a distance.

But since Xu Wendong appeared, everything changed.

Li Jiayin seemed to treat Xu Wendong exceptionally differently; not only could Xu Wendong approach her at will, he could even perform some affectionate gestures, which undoubtedly ignited Liu Annan’s jealousy.

"Heh, youngster, you’re truly overestimating yourself."

"Since you’re determined to challenge me, be prepared for serious injury!" Liu Annan said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and threat.

"In this challenge, there are no rule restrictions; even if I kill you, no one would hold me accountable!".

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples consciously retreated, swiftly clearing a spacious area.

The scripture hall’s bookshelves, as if guided by some mysterious force, automatically slowly shrank to the side, emitting creaking sounds.

In an instant, only Xu Wendong and Liu Annan remained in the field, facing off.

"Enough talk, today I’ll first take your ranking." Xu Wendong spoke calmly, gesturing to Liu Annan to make a move.

He understood well that within the Heavenly Nether Sect, disciples’ rankings were crucial, directly impacting the benefits and resources they could enjoy in the future.

The Heavenly Nether Sect never supported idlers; among the many disciples, only those with higher rankings qualified for the sect’s special treatment.

In order to enhance cultivation level, one must strive to improve their ranking, and as rankings rise, the points earned increase correspondingly, allowing access to more treasures.

Seeing Xu Wendong’s reckless behavior, Liu Annan’s anger burned even more fiercely.

He twisted his mouth into a sinister smile, then shot towards Xu Wendong like a black lightning bolt.

His speed was incredibly fast, whipping up a gust of wind, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, menacing and formidable.

Mercilessly, he attacked with killing moves from the start, reaching out a large hand to Xu Wendong’s neck, his thick fingers like steel hooks, exuding a suffocating aura!
