Once the Sect Leaders returned to their seats, Su Yang sat on the platform and closed his eyes to cultivate, quickly restoring his Profound Qi. For the next four hours, nearly every single individual in the audience speculated about Su Yang’s true abilities. "Disciple Xiao actually managed to defeat one of their top three disciples in less than half an hour. There’s a good chance he might actually help the Boundless Yin Yang Sect win this Dual Cultivation Exchange!" One excited disciple said, her voice filled with anticipation, "I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. Although Disciple Xiao has defeated one of their top three disciples, we don’t know how many more victories we’ll achieve. If none of the Core Disciples can beat their opponent, that would mean Disciple Xiao has to cultivate several more times, and I highly doubt he could last that long against so many elites." "Even if we don’t win this exchange, it wasn’t an utter defeat, and we even defeated one of their top three disciples, saving us an unfathomable amount of face." Meanwhile, the Mystic Delight Pavilion disciples were seething with anger, cursing at Su Yang under their breath. Most of them believed that he hadn’t resorted to some foul play against Feng Ling, convinced that his victory couldn’t have been fair. "Damn it! I can’t believe Senior apprentice-sister Feng would lose in such a manner!" "Nonsense! Senior apprentice-sister Feng did not lose! Foul play doesn’t count!" "There’s no way a disciple of the Boundless Yin Yang Sect could defeat our disciples, much less a mere Inner Court disciple!" At the same time, Sect Leader Qing’s guests were intrigued by Su Yang’s existence. "Fairy Qing, where did the Boundless Yin Yang Sect find such a unique disciple?" A beautiful young woman wearing crimson robes asked. "The City of Pleasure," she replied. "What? The City of Pleasure?"

According to the sect elder who recruited him, his business was quite popular. Isn’t that right, Elder Chu?" Sect Leader Qing directly mentioned the one responsible for recruiting Su Yang. Elder Chu, sitting nearby, added, "Yes, that’s correct. Not only was his business situated in the Red Light District, the most prominent business area, but he also possessed a Medallion of Pleasure." "What?! His business had a Medallion of Pleasure?!" The woman in crimson robes exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise. Though she had never visited the City of Pleasure, even someone like her had heard of the Medallion of Pleasure and understood its immense significance. ’Medallion of Pleasure…?’ Sect Leader Shuang frowned after hearing this information. Before rising to her current position as the Sect Leader of the Mystic Delight Pavilion, Sect Leader Shuang had run a business in the City of Pleasure. This firsthand experience meant she was well aware of the prestige and significance of the Medallion of Pleasure. ’The only way for someone his age to have a Medallion of Pleasure is through inheritance…’ Sect Leader Shuang narrowed her eyes at Su Yang and tried to guess where his medallion came from. An hour later, Feng Ling woke up from her slumber. "Where am I?" she looked around in a daze. "You’re currently at the Boundless Yin Yang Sect’s medical hall. How are you feeling, Disciple Feng?" "Master…" Feng Ling stared at the woman sitting beside her. Then she remembered about the Dual Cultivation Exchange. "T-the exchange! What happened?!" she asked. "You lost after falling unconscious. It’s only been two hours since then." "Is that so… What about that disciple—my opponent?" she then asked. "Why are you asking about him? Don’t tell me you…" Feng Ling blushed as she hastily responded, "What?! Of course not! I’m just curious if he’s still able to continue!" "He’s currently cultivating to replenish his Profound Qi, but I doubt he’ll be able to achieve another victory." Feng Ling fell silent. After a moment of silence, she muttered, "I don’t know… There’s something different—strange about him." "Can you elaborate? What happened during your session? How did he overwhelm you?" Her Master inquired. "That disciple… he knew our sect’s techniques…" "What?!" Her Master stood up in shock. "That’s impossible! You must’ve remembered wrong because—" "No, I am certain that was our sect’s technique. I have experienced it countless times by now, so there’s no way I could be wrong about this, and his understanding of the technique is incomparably better than even our elders. I don’t understand how he achieved it." After a moment of silence, her Master said, "Disciple Feng, I don’t doubt you. However, take a moment to recall your exchange again." Feng Ling sighed, "You don’t have to believe my words, Master. Just wait until the others cultivate with him. I’m sure they’ll say the same thing." "Okay… Get some more rest. I’ll speak with the Sect Leader." Feng Ling nodded. Sometime later, formation number seven opened, and only one participant emerged. She was a disciple of the Mystic Delight Pavilion, having successfully overwhelmed her partner and ended the exchange early. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 "Look! Senior apprentice-sister Jin has come out! She’s overwhelmed her opponent!" "That’s only natural. She’s our number one disciple, after all." After coming out, Disciple Jin looked around to see if anyone else had managed to come out earlier. When she noticed Su Yang in the corner of her eyes, her head automatically snapped to look in his direction. "What…? Why is he out already?" she muttered in a daze. However, before she could figure anything out, Sect Leader Qing appeared on the stage again with the doctor. "Sect Leader Shuang, are you not going to confirm the results?" Sect Leader Qing asked when Sect Leader Shuang hadn’t left her seat. "Hah! Unlike the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, I am confident that my disciple would never resort to foul play. There’s simply no need, after all. However, if you’re worried, you can go ahead and check the results," she said. "It’s not a matter of trust. This is just standard procedure." Sect Leader Qing shook her head as she entered the formation with her doctor. Hearing this, Disciple Jin raised an eyebrow, puzzled by the situation. "Foul play?" She turned to look at Su Yang with a deep frown.
