Chapter 593: I Hope You Can Get Through This

After returning to his villa, Xiang Shaoyun called the Han Clan sisters over for a conversation.
"Qianwei, Xuewei, I have already talked it out with Han Chenfei. From now on, both of you are Glacier Palace members. You don't have to stick with me anymore," said Xiang Shaoyun in a forthright manner.
The two were stupefied. They had not imagined that both of them would be given away to someone else after just half a day. Although they knew Xiang Shaoyun was doing this for their own well-being, they still didn't feel too good about it. After all, both of them harbored feelings for him and were hoping to one day be his lovers. If they were to leave him, would they still have a chance?
"Is she the only one who can help us?" Han Xuewei asked as she started sobbing.
Xiang Shaoyun sighed. "Your yin frost aura was born with you, but it is incomplete. If you continue cultivating, it will grow stronger. Even now, it is already starting to invade your bodies. Only by transforming both your physiques into true Yin Frost Physiques will you be able to live past 50. Even 50 is a conservative estimate. There is a chance that you won't be able to live much longer than now, like Han Chenfei had said. For now, I really have no solution. Making you join Han Chenfei is also a decision out of helplessness. I hope you can treasure this opportunity. I don't wish to see both of you die young."
They were both grateful and sad, their emotions mixed.
"Since you already knew this, why had you still decided to bring us to the academy with you?" Han Qianwei asked.
"I guess you can say it was due to the promise I made Uncle Han," said Xiang Shaoyun after thinking about it for a bit.
The words were rather cruel, but he couldn't lie as that was the truth. After all, he did not owe them anything. Rather, he had saved them several times. He already saw them as friends, but he couldn't let that show too much. He did not want them to make a rash decision based on emotions.
The sisters knew that, but after hearing the words from his own mouth, they still felt terrible. They hoped he would lie to them, telling them that he liked them or something. At this point, they no longer knew what to say. After bowing to Xiang Shaoyun, the two left with sorrowful looks on their faces.
Looking at their departing backs, Xiang Shaoyun sighed inwardly, I hope you can get through this.
At this time, Lady Shura walked out from a different room and said softly, "They really like you a lot. Hearing those words from you has hurt them badly."
"Nothing good will come out of not being firm when necessary. They will understand in the future," said Xiang Shaoyun. "How are your injuries?"
"I'm all fine now," said Lady Shura.
"Since that is the case, you should focus on entering the Dragon Ascension Realm. For the coming few days, you don't have to go to the ring with me. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with me, and that is not something I want to happen," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
"Ok. When I further complete my draconic aura, I will enter the gold zone to attempt my breakthrough," said Lady Shura.
"It will be even better if you can go there after the breakthrough. After all, you are already close to breaking through. If you can calm down and focus, you will be able to advance smoothly. You can then go there to consolidate and further increase your cultivation base," said Xiang Shaoyun. Lady Shura nodded, expressing her agreement.
News of Xiang Shaoyun's visits to the two Phoenix Villas spread over the entire Dragon Phoenix Academy, creating a massive commotion. Both the villas were occupied by the academy's two brightest flowers. Had Xiang Shaoyun set his eyes on both of them?
"That bastard Xiang Shaoyun seems to have successfully met Han Chenfei. Is he going to join the Glacier Palace?"
"I heard that too. It was said that earlier in the morning, Han Chenfei went to watch Xiang Shaoyun's battle. She seemed to have taken a liking to his two followers. Both of them have an ice-related physique that fits very well with Glacier Palace's cultivation method. I heard both of them are now staying in 2 Phoenix Villa."
"Then that explains his visit to 2 Phoenix Villa. But he actually had the guts to claim that he is Beauty Yu's man. Is he suicidal?"
"Yeah. He thinks he can disregard all of us just because he has a nine-star physique? How can Beauty Yu be his? He has to first ask the saber in my hand for permission!"
"Both Beauty Yu and Beauty Han have a lot of white knights. Xiang Shaoyun won't have a good time on the ring tomorrow."
...
Sure enough, when Xiang Shaoyun stood on the ring the next day, a large number of challengers appeared, including those at the upper range of the Serpent Fowl List. If it wasn't for the fact that a lot of geniuses were busy cultivating within the unique cultivation zones, there would be even more challengers. All of them adored Yu Caidie and Han Chenfei. Nobody could forgive Xiang Shaoyun for publicly daring to proclaim Yu Caidie his.
That day, Xiang Shaoyun's opponent was someone ranked 507 on the Serpent Fowl List. Someone like this could already be considered an upper-class member of the academy. One ought to know that there were only 100 spots on the Dragon Phoenix List and 1,000 spots on the Jiao Luan List. The rest of the disciples were listed on the Serpent Fowl List, and someone ranked 507 on the Serpent Fowl List was considered the 1,607th strongest disciple in the academy.
As usual, Xiang Shaoyun wagered all the contribution points he had. His challenger met the bet and wagered 30,000 contribution points. As for Tang Longfei, he opened his betting stand yet again. This time, a lot more people were betting at his stand.
After all, although Xiang Shaoyun looked rather impressive, from his previous two duels, his strength did not seem special. Otherwise, why would he have won the two duels with such difficulty?
More importantly, news of Xiang Shaoyun cultivating nine powers had also spread. Everyone started wondering if there was something wrong with his brain. What he did was no different than crushing his future with his own hands. That was the main reason why the disciples no longer feared him.
Xiang Shaoyun would forever be stuck with using only one star, while they could use multiple stars. Thus, he would not be able to gain an advantage over them. More importantly, he was only a peak Skysoar Realm cultivator, his most glaring weakness. To defeat him, someone only needed to have a higher cultivation level and the ability to punch above one's weight.
As for Xiang Shaoyun's previous two victories, everyone believed they were due to the challengers underestimating him too much. But were they right? Nobody would know without personally experiencing his strength.
