A layer of mist swirled around Jiang Ailiang as he struggled to expel the deathly aura that had invaded his body. Suddenly, a laugh reached his ears—a long, joyous peal of laughter.
The laugh was utterly unexpected. Faintly infused with True Qi, the sound spread far into the distance. Jiang Ailiang was at a critical juncture in his cultivation. The sudden sound threw his internal energy into chaos. His body trembled, and with a HACK, he spat out another large mouthful of fresh blood.
By now, several other young challengers had arrived on the path. Hearing the long peal of laughter, all eyes turned to Zhaang Ye.

Overcome with joy, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
