As the young man was teleported out of the secret realm, Jiang Wuyuan finally turned his attention to Liu Can.

As for Qiu Shaoqing, who once again escaped from Jiang Wuyuan's grasp, Jiang Wuyuan did not intend to pursue him now.

In short, you can run away from the monk but not the temple.

Could Qiu Shaoqing really just give up the competition and leave the secret realm immediately?

In that case, Jiang Wuyuan would indeed have no way to deal with him, but Qiu Shaoqing probably doesn't have that kind of courage.

In the fierce battle next door, Jiang Wuyuan could sense that Liu Can and You Huo were evenly matched in strength.

It almost came to the point where it was a battle of attrition, with each side trying to wear the other down first.

Jiang Wuyuan did not hesitate and immediately chose to support Liu Can.

You Huo had already realized that his men had been defeated, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

What a waste! He can't even beat a junior who's at the peak of the Great Martial Master level.

"Hey, You Huo." Liu Can launched both physical and mental attacks, "Look at your little brother, he's so easy to beat."

"So what if your subordinates are stronger?" You Huo scoffed, a hint of gloom in his noble eyes.

"Huh? Who told you that Junior Jiang is my subordinate?" Liu Can hurriedly denied, "He and I are just friends!"

He absolutely treated Jiang Wuyuan as an equal.

Because he could sense that Jiang Wuyuan had never used his full strength until now.

Perhaps it's because I don't need it, or perhaps I don't fully trust him yet.

But that doesn't matter; all he needs to know is that Jiang Wuyuan is very strong.

Liu Can's fist collided with You Huo's sword tip, and the two separated after a brief contact, each taking a few steps back.

Taking advantage of the opening, Jiang Wuyuan seized the opportunity and turned to step forward.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

A gentle breeze!

brush--

Jiang Wuyuan's figure flashed past Liu Can like a streak of light, directly facing the sword in You Huo's hand.

As fellow sword cultivators, You Huo's fighting spirit was even stronger when facing Jiang Wuyuan than when facing Liu Can.

He wielded his twin swords swiftly and methodically, managing to block almost half of Jiang Wuyuan's attacks.

Given Jiang Wuyuan's ability to achieve this level of skill while operating at the speed of the Rainbow Step, it must be said that Jiang Wuyuan indeed overestimated You Huo.

However, the expression on Yu Huo's face seemed to mock the weakness of his other half's attack.

Aside from Jiang Wuyuan himself, sword marks invisible to the naked eye covered almost the entire body of You Huo. Jiang Wuyuan didn't know why he could still laugh.

Perhaps this is ignorance.

When the time was up, Jiang Wuyuan's figure drifted back to its original spot.

You Huo narrowed his eyes, just as he was about to press his advantage, when a strong sense of unease suddenly surged in his heart.

The more powerful a cultivator is, the more they trust their senses, and You Huo followed his heart and used his life-saving methods.

Bodhi Body!

boom--

A blinding light emanated from You Huo.

Even the thick lava around them was rippled away by the aftershocks of the explosion, revealing You Huo's rather disheveled appearance.

Thanks to the Bodhi Body skill, which temporarily increases one's defense, You Huo did not suffer any serious injuries.

However, as a Heaven-rank skill, the power of "A Gentle Breeze" should not be underestimated.

So even though You Huo was not seriously injured, he was still in a very bad mood.

Liu Can burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! You Huo, this is the first time I've seen you dressed like this. Tsk tsk, your abs are showing."

You Huo gritted his teeth inwardly, maintaining the family etiquette on his face, but the arrogance between his brows became somewhat fragmented.

He took out a new piece of clothing from his spatial ring and put it on, then raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains on his cheek from the explosion: "You really can't underestimate anyone, even if they're just a Grand Martial Master."

Liu Can heard the sarcasm in You Huo's words and narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "Wasn't someone else blown up like this by the commotion caused by the Grand Martial Master?"

"you!"

You Huo was speechless and could only harbor resentment in his heart.

Jiang Wuyuan didn't take You Huo's words to heart at all: "Sword cultivators don't need to communicate with words."

You Huo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked at Jiang Wuyuan with a complicated expression.

This person really looks like a sword cultivator.

Unfortunately, the battle between the three seemed to be coming to an end, as they all sensed the commotion coming from not far away.

Liu Can and Jiang Wuyuan exchanged a glance, both knowing that this test/battle was probably coming to an end.

"The fire crocodile is coming. Quick, let's get to the finish line first." Liu Can said, ignoring You Huo, and turned to leave.

Jiang Wuyuan nodded and followed.

Seeing that the two ignored him, You Huo gritted his teeth and followed them.

——

"What a pity. If we had fought a little longer, we probably could have kicked that little guy You Huo out." Wang Sihai shook his head with a smile.

Ruan Yanqing maintained a gentle expression: "Don't say that, You Huo probably still has some trump cards up his sleeve."

Wang Taiping, the vice dean of Xijing Academy, looked rather grim, but he was not one to be a sore loser, so he didn't feel particularly embarrassed: "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and one should get used to small wins."

"How could your Xijing Academy allow a mere early-stage Grand Martial Master to participate? Even if he has spatial talent, shouldn't you have nurtured him for another year or two?" Qiong Qianli asked with some doubt.

Speaking of this, Wang Taiping sighed.

He was initially very opposed to the proposal, but Xijing Academy was not his personal fiduciary, and You Huo had assured him that he would do his best to protect Qiu Shaoqing's safety, which finally made Wang Taiping relent.

“That freshman Qiu Shaoqing seems a bit insecure. Even with his spatial talent, he’s always been somewhat self-conscious,” Wang Taiping said slowly. “It would be good to send him to the national competition to broaden his horizons.”

Ruan Yanqing just smiled when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.

In his eyes, Qiu Shaoqing had a fatal flaw in his character.

That means he has no bottom line.

In any case, everyone should have a scale in their heart to measure their own code of conduct, but Qiu Shaoqing had a very weak awareness of this.

He was so indifferent that he didn't feel that when unfortunate things happened to him, it was because of his own mistakes.

Because he doesn't think he's done anything wrong, he only blames the world and everyone around him.

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by gaining more knowledge.

However, it seems that Xiaoyuan and he have some kind of conflict.

In that case...

Ruan Yanqing smiled, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
