Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

*Thud*

The Chain Bridge had reached the other side of an endless ravine.

As the disciples got out, Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang too stepped out of the carriage.

Ye Tian Yun thought of Zheng Xiang as an acquaintance, but that didn\'t mean he would just let him dig his own grave. Thus, he decided to warn him once again about Yuan Shuchun.

However, just as he turned around, he saw Zheng Xiang clenching his arm with a grimace expression all over his face.

Quite surprised by this, Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but ask, "How come you ended up in this state? Are the opponents random in this tournament?"

Zheng Xiang shooked his head, "No, they weren\'t random or anything. But instead, most of them were equal to my cultivation realm."

Ye Tian Yun smirked, "So you had your ass wrecked by disciples of your level?"

Zheng Xiang rolled his eyes, "It wasn\'t a one-sided match. By the time it ended, both sides were equally hurt. In fact, I am pretty sure my opponent was in worse condition than me."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "But you still got beaten to a pulp."

Zheng Xiang shook his head, "It wasn\'t as bad as you make it sound, and don\'t forget that I won the match."

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t say anything for a while as they both had now started to make their way towards the Elder Hall.

After a few moments, Zheng Xiang couldn\'t hold himself back and explained the situation, "Brother Fang, it wasn\'t that my opponent was more powerful than me. But the problem was, I had already faced many opponents by the time this match started. And all my fights happened today, so I had no time to rest and recover back to the peak."

Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "Getting tired because of too many opponents? That\'s not even a good excuse. I remember you were ranked last in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, and in the very last round, you fought non-stop and reached the top position."

Zheng Xiang nodded his head, "Yeah, but they were only four-five matches, but today I have had sixteen matches, and half of them were in higher cultivation realm than me."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Are you still in the Eighth Level of Qi Refining Realm?"

Zheng Xiang\'s expression turned a bit sour as he said, "Ugh, yes. I have felt no signs of breakthrough at all."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "You didn\'t consume the Beast Cores you won in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt? As far as I remember, you won the most beast cores because your starting point was the lowest."

"I have already consumed all my resources." Zheng Xiang sighed while saying this.

Ye Tian Yun was quite shocked, "What!? You consumed all of them?"

"Yeah…"

"Then why did your cultivation not increase?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

"I don\'t know," Zheng Xiang had an ugly expression, "I don\'t know what\'s going on. Even after I used up all my cultivation resources, I got nothing. I didn\'t feel even a tinge of breakthrough. My dantian is sucking in the Qi endlessly."

Ye Tian Yun frowned but didn\'t say anything.

This news was quite surprising to him. How come Zheng Xiang couldn\'t break through even after so many cultivation resources? And before that, how was he even able to finish all those cultivation resources in the first place?

When Ye Tian Yun was cultivating, he had the help of System. Or else, it would have taken him 1-2 months just to finish all those Beast Cores.

And here, Zheng Xiang, who had about a hundred more Beast Cores than him, finished all of them in less than a month.

Shaking his head, Ye Tian Yun said, "Brother Zheng, I am more surprised by the fact that you didn\'t explode after consuming all those resources."

Zheng Xiang scratched the back of his head and just laughed.

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t press the topic but instead asked about something more important.

"Brother Zheng, don\'t worry about this; maybe you just need a few more cultivation resources. By the way, I have heard that there are few disciples from another sect who are staying on the peak as guests?"

Zheng Xiang\'s laugh suddenly stopped.

Ye Tian Yun frowned and turned his head to look at him, only to find him with an utmost serious expression.

Confused, he asked, "What happened, Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Xiang pursed his lips but chose to say nothing and just shook his head.

Ye Tian Yun was confused even more but didn\'t press the topic much.

But after a few steps, Zheng Xiang eventually said what was going on in his mind.

"Brother Fang," His voice sounded more serious than his expression, "You should not get close to those disciples."

Ye Tian Yun asked, "What\'s going on?"

Zheng Xiang remained silent once again for some time and then replied with the most serious tone he could muster, "I will fucking kill those bastards."

"Wha- what?" 

Zheng Xiang nodded his head. 

"Why would you want to kill them? Do you even know who they are?"

Zheng Xiang slightly frowned and then said, "No… I… don\'t know much about their sect."

Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but roll his eyes, "So you don\'t know about the Heaven Oracle Sect? And here you\'re swearing to kill one of their top disciples?"

Zheng Xiang\'s expression didn\'t waver as he replied, "Brother Fang, I don\'t care which power that guy is from, but I must kill him."

"Wow, do you even know how stupid you sound right now?"

After a small break, Ye Tian Yun rebuked him, "You know nothing about Heaven Oracle Sect. Let me tell you an important lesson I have learned in my life, \'Know your enemy well enough before you even think about taking revenge.\' Don\'t go after them unprepared, or else you would be digging your own grave."

"Now tell me the reason that made him your mortal enemy?"
