"Senior Brother will not lose." Ye Xiruo's gaze was very firm. Even if he couldn't win, as long as Senior Brother used his trump card, he could still escape unscathed.

Zishu's performance seemed expected to Ye Xiruo and the others, but it still astonished many. Zishu resided in Lingshan most of the year, rarely staying at the Pill King Palace, and even less often appearing in public. All they knew was that before Ye Xiruo, the Pill King Palace had a mysterious senior disciple who had fully inherited Jing Li's teachings. Zishu first gained fame at Ye Xiruo's apprenticeship ceremony, where he fought to a draw with the already renowned Ying Xun of Medicine King Valley, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul Venerable on the continent. By the time Ying Xun emerged from seclusion, he had become the youngest Ninth-Rank Alchemist on the continent.

Others had no chance to witness Zishu's combat prowess and dared not comment further. However, seeing his heroic battle against the alien race today, many exclaimed in surprise, realizing that he not only possessed a high cultivation level but also considerable combat awareness and experience. Indeed, Zishu had lived deep within the Spirit Mountain since childhood, fighting wild beasts for food; combat had become instinctive. It was only after meeting Jingli that he gradually came into contact with alchemy and experienced its joys, thus ceasing his frequent raids on wild beasts.

For Zishu, the first match of the Heavenly Ranking Competition was just an appetizer; he didn't even get to perform at one-tenth of his potential.

Facing the powerful alien race, Zishu's blood was boiling. This long-lost feeling of battle—he would treat this alien race as the start of the second match! It had been so long since he had seen blood; he was quite excited.

The alien looked at the weak human opposite him with some confusion. For some reason, he sensed a trace of danger emanating from this reptile. Even though he had fallen victim to the reptile's ambush, this reptile was definitely no match for him. Ever since he transformed into his original form, the reptile had been constantly probing him. Was this the end of its probing and preparation for a full-scale attack?

Zishu's speed nearly doubled, and the alien's speed was no less. The two figures almost became two phantoms in the air, constantly colliding and fighting each other in mid-air. Neither of them thought of running away; this moment was a battle of life and death.

Soon, wounds began to appear on both of their bodies. The alien's tough, iron-like skin was also pierced by the sharp sword energy, leaving bloody streaks. Zishu's white robes were also covered in wounds, all torn by the alien's sharp claws, but Zishu's eyes grew brighter and brighter. On the other hand, the alien grew increasingly terrified as the fight progressed. Where did this monster come from? He had thought he could crush it in a few blows with his full power, but its vitality was surprisingly tenacious, barely managing to dodge each fatal attack and even retaliating. Sometimes, even when he could kill it, he feared he would be killed instead.

This was a completely reckless fighting style. In addition, the alien race's true energy was constantly being depleted, while Zishu became more and more excited and stronger with each battle.

The alien race was also having second thoughts. There was no need to put themselves in danger for such a scoundrel. The unknown poison in his body made him very uneasy.

However, he then tragically discovered that he couldn't escape at all. Zishu's speed was like a ghost, blocking all his escape routes. He was still fighting with a completely reckless style. Yi was also very frustrated. When did he get forced into this situation by humans? He was also provoked to a point of anger. He didn't want to play right into Zishu's hands. Zishu wanted to make him angry so that he could leave an opening. As long as there was an opening, there would be no fear of not having a chance to counterattack.

It seemed that Zishu was gradually gaining the upper hand, and victory was only a matter of time, so the group turned their attention to the others.

This time, Ye Xiruo went directly to find Shangguan Ling and Su Shaxuan. These two proud daughters of heaven, besides searching for medicinal herbs, were also killing people. Any demons they encountered were all killed without a complete corpse, and the same was true for other races. Their aura grew stronger with each killing, and their firm gazes were filled with power and confidence.

Their scores also broke into the top 1,000, shocking the entire continent. Saintess Peak has always been dedicated to helping the world and saving people, but unexpectedly, so many killing gods have suddenly appeared. Their murderous aura made many geniuses tremble with fear.

"Well done! With Senior Sister Su Sha taking the lead, who can rival her?" After this battle, the names of Su Sha Xuan and Shangguan Ling will surely spread throughout the entire continent. Ye Xi Ruo is also proud of them. The Holy Maiden made such a great sacrifice, and she hopes that the two of them can successfully leave their mark on the Heavenly Ranking.

So far, both senior sisters have been quite lucky. They haven't encountered any of the top-ranked geniuses from the alien races, but instead have found quite a few good things. Indeed, luck, though seemingly ethereal, truly exists.

Then I glanced at my master and saw he was being attacked! Was it because my master was dressed so well, looking like a rich guy, that he was robbed by a group of people?

Indeed, the person Master was disguised as didn't look very strong, and his strength was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Coupled with his arrogant attitude, he was quite likely to attract hatred.

Ye Xiruo covered her face. She wondered if her master was doing this on purpose; these people were definitely just there to give away points. If a few more waves of people came, it was quite possible for her master to reach the top of the points rankings. Ye Xiruo excitedly rubbed her fingers, looking forward to a good show. Would her master take his time this time, or would he just slap her away? She couldn't wait.

"That heartless Xiu Qiyu actually abandoned Fairy Yi like that! What if she encounters villains?" Hua Rong's exaggerated exclamation brought Ye Xiruo back to her senses.

"What did you say?"

"See for yourself?" Xiu Qiyu flew away, while Yi Ruowu looked at Xiu Qiyu in mid-air with deep affection, or rather, with great reluctance.

Less than half an hour later, Xiu Qiyu returned carrying two rabbits and two pheasants. Ye Xiruo looked at Hua Rong with a gloomy expression. This was what they called abandoning a beauty. This guy was practically an all-around babysitter. Ye Xiruo felt a fire burning in her chest.

The sight of Xiu Qiyu and Yi Ruowu standing together was truly dazzling. At this moment, Yi Ruowu took the initiative to process the prey that Xiu Qiyu had brought back, while Xiu Qiyu lit a flame. The two of them would exchange a few words from time to time, their feelings for each other were genuine.

"These two adulterers, showing off their love without even knowing where they are." Hua Rong noticed Ye Xiruo's expression and firmly stood on Ye Xiruo's side, criticizing Xiu Qiyu.
