Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger-Chapter 183
Chapter 183: The Mighty Marquis! Martial Will and Unyielding Belief!
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the factions had arrived. The discussions were lively.
“Who do you think will make it to the top three this time?”
“Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely going to be the five sects of Tianxuan!”
“That’s not necessarily true. The major sects from other regions, as well as the ancient clans, aren’t pushovers.”
“Besides, if the five sects of Tianxuan run into each other early on, wouldn’t that leave the later positions up for grabs?”
“No matter what happens with the other sects, I’m certain that the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion will take first place. No one can stand against them!”
“Yes.”
Many nodded in agreement. In their eyes, this Genius Battle was simply a contest among the major sects and ancient clans. In the past, with first-tier forces dispersed, there was still some chance for others. But now, once they encounter these powerhouses, it’s total annihilation with no chance at all.
Crack!
While everyone was chatting, the sky above suddenly changed dramatically!
Countless void cracks appeared, as if an incredibly powerful entity was about to descend. Then, a figure slowly appeared. The moment they appeared, everyone felt a weight on their shoulders, as if they were carrying a mountain!
Even those in the Life and Death Realm felt this pressure!
“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”
The high-ranking members of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion immediately stood up and bowed!
Following that, all the factions also bowed in respect, their voices reverberating through the heavens and earth!
Pavilion Master!
These two simple words carried the weight of a thousand pounds!
Because they represented the ruler of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion!
Also, the legendary Marquis, rarely seen!
“Hmm.”
The Pavilion Master’s gaze was indifferent as he scanned the entire area. His temples were graying, and although he looked to be only middle-aged, he was much older. Dressed in a nine-colored robe, he stood with his hands behind his back. Even with his terrifying aura somewhat restrained, the surrounding void still crackled as if it could not bear the strain!
“Everyone has come from afar, enduring the hardships of travel. This truly brings great honor to my pavilion,” the Pavilion Master spoke slowly, his voice like a great bell, resonating through the heavens and earth. “Let’s not waste time. Let the event begin.”
With those words, the Pavilion Master’s figure slowly faded. When he reappeared, he was already seated on the largest and highest suspended mountain, which belonged to the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion.
Seated beside him were the pavilion’s high-ranking members, each exuding a powerful aura. Some were young, some were old, but all were in the Life and Death Realm!
“Xiaoxue.” The Pavilion Master sat down and turned his gaze to a spot not far away.
There, a slender figure sat cross-legged, bathed in glowing light.
Upon hearing his voice, the figure slowly opened their eyes, revealing an indescribably beautiful face. In that instant, it felt as though the world had lost its color. Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and flawless, with long black hair cascading down to her waist. A faint glow surrounded her, giving her an air of divinity.
“Father.”
This young woman was none other than Yu Hongxue, a peerless prodigy who nearly dominated the younger generation of Tianxuan Prefecture!
“Your condition seems well-adjusted. How far the pavilion advances depends on you.” The Pavilion Master nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.
She was his daughter, born in his later years, and thus he valued her even more. Moreover, Yu Hongxue’s talent far surpassed his own, a true blessing from their ancestors!
“Father, rest assured, I will lead the sect to first place. No one can stop me.” Yu Hongxue raised her eyes.
Whether in her gaze, bearing, or voice, there was an inner confidence that radiated from within! This was the aura of invincibility, forged by overcoming countless powerful opponents!
Clearly, the number of warriors who had fallen to Yu Hongxue was beyond counting.
“Once you defeat all your opponents in this Genius Battle, you should be able to condense an unbeaten will.” the Pavilion Master remarked.
Martial Will.
This was a crucial element for any warrior, a representation of their beliefs. Once it was forged and took shape, it brought unimaginable benefits!
“The only one who might pose a threat to you this time is that Li Jin from the Proud Sword Sect. His comprehension is on par with yours, and he has been in seclusion for a long time.
“In terms of true meaning cultivation, he shouldn’t be weaker than you,” the Pavilion Master said.
“He’s not my match.” Yu Hongxue replied directly.
A terrifying power surged within her eyes, as if countless lights were flashing.
Seeing this, the Pavilion Master was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
“Impressive, you’ve already reached this stage. I underestimated you.
“Three-tenths mastery of the hand intent!
“Among the younger generation, none can surpass you!”
The other disciples and elders around them were also filled with joy and shock!
Three-tenths mastery of the hand intent!
That was terrifying. The cultivation of martial intent was incredibly difficult, often taking decades without progress…
And yet, the Young Pavilion Master, at just twenty-seven years old, had already elevated her hand intent to three-tenths mastery!
In the future, she had a great chance of reaching five-tenths or even higher before becoming a Marquis!
No wonder the old Pavilion Master believed she could surpass their ancestors!
“I hope this Genius Battle produces a few dark horses. Otherwise, I might find it quite boring.” Yu Hongxue slowly stood up and walked to the edge, looking down. The wind blew gently, causing her robe to flutter.
Although she was a woman, she exuded a heroic spirit, filled with both the essence of kingship and dominance!
The Genius Battle was naturally overseen by the Wanxiang Pavilion. Almost all the judges were powerful beings in the Divine Attainment Realm or the Life and Death Realm.
The new tournament format also made things easier for the Wanxiang Pavilion. Otherwise, with so many one-on-one battles, how many judges would they need?
Now, only a few were required.
On the Myriad Forms Pavilion’s suspended mountain, an old acquaintance of Tai Xuan Sect was leisurely sitting there. Behind him, a beautiful maid massaged his shoulders, occasionally sipping tea with a look of contentment.
“Elder Yuan.” Suddenly, someone approached quickly.
“What’s the matter?” Yuan Cang asked casually.
“You asked me to keep an eye on Tai Xuan Sect of Tianling Prefecture before. They’ve arrived today,” the subordinate reported.
“Oh?” Yuan Cang immediately opened his eyes, raising his right hand to signal the maid to leave.
The maid, understanding, stepped back.
“Tai Xuan Sect.” These three simple words carried different implications.
“Interesting. How many times have they missed the Southern Genius Battle?
“And now, they’ve produced a peerless prodigy. Finally, they couldn’t resist coming?”
Yuan Cang stood up and sneered, “They really dare to come!”
He hadn’t forgotten that dazzling genius from the Three-Sect Martial Arts Competition, a terrifying talent who had comprehended the embryonic form of sword intent while still in the Dao Creation Realm.

Such potential was truly frightening. But unfortunately, that talent had refused his invitation, insisting on staying with the sinking ship of Tai Xuan Sect!
Well then, they could all sink together slowly!
Back in Tianling Prefecture, he couldn’t make a move, but here, he had plenty of ways to deal with them. A peerless prodigy needs to grow up to be meaningful. If they fall or are crippled along the way, they’re no longer a genius.
With that thought, Yuan Cang’s gaze turned cold.
