Finally, the day of the match between Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin arrived. Di Lin arrived early. Standing on the arena with a charming demeanor, he shut his eyes as he rested calmly, as if victory was already in his hands. Both Xia Yunxi and Situ Yan were cheering for him under the ring. The Di Alliance members were all present as well.

Many academy disciples were also at the arena. They were filled with excitement, seemingly impatient to see the fight start. However, Xiang Shaoyun was nowhere to be seen. The Overlord Legion wasn't here either. The people present grew displeased at the delay, and those from the Di Alliance even started jeering and hooting.

"Xiang Shaoyun is probably turtling away like a coward. What time is it already? He's still not here!"

"Half a month ago, he was still arrogantly challenging our alliance master. I suppose he finally knows his shortcomings and has decided to surrender through his absence."

"If he is still not here in an hour, we should consider it his surrender."

"The alliance master will be victorious, and the turtle will suffer defeat!"

...

The battle had yet to start, but the arena was already bustling with noise. Time passed slowly, and finally, the Overlord Legion could be seen slowly approaching.

Presently, the Overlord Legion had about 800 members. Even these were those who had been recruited after strict tests. Otherwise, their numbers would have long surpassed 1,000. The roughly 800 members were led by a youth, arriving with great fanfare.

The youth was dressed in a white outfit that was simple yet clean. He looked like a refined young master that was incredibly graceful and carefree. The eyes of the female disciples twinkled as they saw him.

The youth was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. He had just left his cultivation room that morning. After leaving the room, he had taken a bath and changed his clothes in complete calmness. Only after did he set off with his men.

Originally, he did not intend to arrive in such a high-profiled manner. However, the Overlord Legion members had been waiting for him long before he came out. He did not want to ruin their excitement and had thus decided to come with them.

One ought to admit that they looked rather imposing arriving in such a manner. Even the Di Alliance members were no longer saying anything. Recently, the Di Alliance had degraded considerably. They only had about 500 members left, and they could no longer match the Overlord Legion. And if this match ended in Di Lin's defeat, the Di Alliance would crumble apart completely.

On the other hand, even in the event of Xiang Shaoyun's defeat, the Overlord Legion might still remain with Ouyang Chuanqi as their deputy commander. He alone was enough to preserve morale.

Sounds of discussions erupted with the arrival of Xiang Shaoyun and the rest of the Overlord Legion.

After arriving, Xiang Shaoyun did not climb onto the ring straight away.

Seeing that, Di Lin frowned. "Xiang Shaoyun, what tricks are you playing? If you want to surrender, make it fast. I won't make things difficult for you."

He sounded generous, but he was simply trying to gain the upper hand by a show of strength. Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored him and continued walking in a different direction. Everyone looked toward where he was going, and there, they saw a woman.

The woman was Yu Caidie. She stood silently at a corner, exuding an absolute charm that caused the world around her to dim. Everyone had heard the rumors about Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie, but nobody was sure if the rumors were true. Perhaps now, the truth would be revealed.

"Caidie, I knew you would be worried about your husband, haha!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed brazenly.

Yu Caidie offered no retort. With complete calmness, she said, "Only victory is allowed."

Her words shocked all the disciples. Was that an admission of her relationship with Xiang Shaoyun? The many disciples who had a crush on Yu Caidie felt their hearts shatter. They had the urge to immediately challenge Xiang Shaoyun to a duel to decide who was superior.

They felt like a beautiful flower had been placed on top of cow manure. In truth, they were merely feeling envy. As for the Overlord Legion members, they were looking at him with worshiping gazes.

In the past, they revered Xiang Shaoyun's strength. Now, they revered his ability to pick up girls. They were filled with respect and admiration. The number one goddess of the academy was actually their overlord's woman, and it was something they could be proud of.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "Since the wife commands so, the husband dares not disobey.

After saying that, he wanted to give Yu Caidie a hug, but she deftly dodged him and said, "Before fulfilling my requirements, do not be impolite toward me."

"Sure, sure. That day will come before long," said Xiang Shaoyun, who was not disheartened. Like a wind, he leaped toward the arena.

"Di Lin, your death anniversary will be exactly one year from today," said Xiang Shaoyun even before he landed.

Torrential killing intent unfurled from him, allowing everyone around the arena to feel the petrifying murderous sensation. They did not know about the grudge between Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin that necessitated a fight to the death like this.

Di Lin met Xiang Shaoyun's gaze and said, "I return those words to you."

Xiang Shaoyun landed on the arena, and pointing at Di Lin, he said, "Come. Let us end the grudge between us today."

"I never feared you. Today, one of us will die," Di Lin roared as a purple flame erupted from him. A purple dragon that was about 55 percent condensed appeared around him.

From that dragon, one could see that Di Lin's cultivation had reached mid fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. It was also obvious Di Lin had a unique flame that was most certainly extraordinarily strong.

Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow. These years, Di Lin has probably had no fewer fortuitous encounters than me. I can't be careless in this fight.

An unrivaled presence of dragon and tiger unfurled from Xiang Shaoyun. The majestic projections of a dragon and tiger appeared around him, and his draconic aura, condensed by 29 percent, was unleashed as well.

Xiang Shaoyun was only a step away from the third stage. He had the strongest physique, the high-grade nine-star physique. However, since he cultivated nine powers, others thought he had made a wrong decision and had ruined his own future. Because of that, his prestige had dropped considerably.

As for Di Lin, he only had a high-grade eight-star physique, and it was also an Innate Flame Star Physique. The combination of the two granted him a talent that was not inferior even to primary-grade nine-star physique holders.

Furthermore, Di Lin's cultivation realm was higher. Thus, he seemed to hold the advantage in this battle. However, Xiang Shaoyun was the one who had defeated An Lulu, and Di Lin did not have any significant victories under his belt.

Of the two, the stronger one would be decided that day.
