Although it was unclear, it was easy to imagine that Shi Xuan's situation was not optimistic, being surrounded by four walls of fire and then bombarded by such a terrifying fireball.

The members of the best team on the sidelines clenched their fists nervously. What should they do? Would their captain be in danger?

At this moment, Lu Wenxing, who was always talkative, suddenly said among his tense teammates, "We were fine even after falling into the crevice, how could we be killed by such a small flame!"

Zhang Yingxin, upon hearing his words, punched him on the shoulder: "What are you saying, you jinx! What are you talking about, talking about dying!"

Although Lu Wenxing's words were harsh, the truth was undeniable. Upon careful consideration, everyone realized that it was indeed the case.

The massive rift, where anyone who touches it will explode and die, seemed like a sure way to die. But the captain came back unharmed. How could a few walls of fire and a few fireballs possibly hurt the captain?

All I can say is that, after this incident, the members of the best team have become arrogant.

At this moment, after a burst of flames, several icy blue arcs of light streaked across the field.

That icy blue arc of light definitely didn't belong to Yan Lingyi. As a cultivator with a top-grade single fire spiritual root, almost all of his moves were red, which was completely unrelated to blue.

Therefore, this blue arc of light could only have been released by Shi Xuan! In other words, Shi Xuan is retaliating!

This was truly astonishing. No one could understand how she managed to dodge and counterattack when a massive fireball rained down from the sky in a small space completely engulfed in flames.

But when everything settled down, to everyone's surprise, Shi Xuan still stood on the field with a relaxed expression, as if the terrifying wall of fire and the explosion of flames had nothing to do with her.

Yan Lingyi, who was standing opposite her, staggered back a step, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

If Shi Xuan were to press his advantage at this moment, it seemed that he could easily knock Yan Lingyi out of the center of the martial arts arena with just a slight gesture.

However, Shi Xuan did not.

She stood casually opposite Yan Lingyi with her arms crossed, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes crinkling as she looked at him.

She did not press her advantage; she even waited for Yan Lingyi to regain her strength.

Her smiling eyes fell on Yan Lingyi, making him feel as if he were being burned by flames.

Why not continue! That wretched woman, she's despising herself!

To everyone else, it seemed as if Shi Xuan didn't take Yan Lingyi seriously at all. She seemed to have never thought she would lose, and even if Yan Lingyi got up and fought a hundred more times, it wouldn't change the outcome of his defeat.

At this moment, Yan Lingyi felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

He was utterly despised, humiliated and bullied by Shi Xuan, whom he had never taken seriously!

Her smiling face seemed to say: "Do you admit defeat? If not, we can try again~ You're just a little brother!"

After a moment of silence, a heated discussion suddenly broke out.

"No, no way! Is this... really true?"

"Yan Lingyi lost? That's impossible! I never imagined this would happen!"

"We haven't lost yet, there's still a chance!"

"What chance? He's coughing up blood, and Shi Xuan is acting like nothing happened. He's unleashed so many attacks; how could an ordinary person stand still like Shi Xuan in the face of such a powerful offensive? Now it's the other way around!"

"I'm curious now about how Shi Xuan managed to dodge multiple walls of fire and fireballs unscathed and even launch a counterattack."

...

Those outside the venue couldn't see clearly, but Yan Lingyi saw it very clearly.

When Shi Xuan was surrounded by the wall of fire, he somehow managed to destroy a small section of it, causing the wall to break in the middle. Before Shi Xuan emerged from the broken section, he began to attack him.

He could cast five powerful spells in a row, but Shi Xuan could cast five swords in a row with even greater ease.

The water-attribute sword intent that was impenetrable surrounded Yan Lingyi, just as his wall of fire surrounded Shi Xuan. But while Shi Xuan could destroy his wall of fire, Yan Lingyi could not destroy Shi Xuan's sword intent!

Despite having summoned four magical artifacts to protect himself, he was still injured by Shi Xuan's sword intent.

Actually, his injuries weren't serious. Compared to his minor injuries, the blow to his confidence was far more devastating.

Yan Lingyi is widely recognized as the most powerful player of this generation. He still has many trump cards and many powerful combos that he has not yet used. His "Blazing Clouds" move has also allowed him to defeat enemies who are three minor levels higher than him.

But at this moment, standing in front of the smiling Shi Xuan, he felt that no matter what he did, he could never defeat her... That was the most terrifying thing!

Shi Xuan not only attacked the body, she also attacked the mind!

Yan Lingyi popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth. At this moment, under these circumstances, he had already lost by one-tenth.

Continuing to fight would not be very honorable even if we won, and it would be even more shameful if we lost.

But if we don't continue, things will become even more unmanageable.

Shi Xuan stood still, smiling as he watched him take the pill, wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rejoin the battle.

This time, Yan Lingyi had no intention of holding back. He skipped the ordinary moves and directly used his most powerful attack.

"Fire Piercing the Clouds!" Yan Lingyi shouted, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, then he thrust forward with a mighty force.

This move is his trump card, the key to his victories in countless battles against opponents of higher levels, and also his signature technique.

At this moment, the surging fire spiritual power emanating from Yan Lingyi was so powerful that it dyed the air between the two of them red.

In an instant, flames erupted between the two, making it appear from a distance as if a huge fire had suddenly broken out in the middle of the training ground.

The flames surged rapidly from in front of Yan Lingyi toward Shi Xuan.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Shi Xuan.

But this terrifying fire was merely a smokescreen. Hidden within the flames were nine fireballs.

When the flames get close, that's when the nine fireballs will explode.

This fireball was prepared in advance by Yan Lingyi, condensing the essence of his fire spirit power and mixing it with the most violent flint in the cultivation world. Its explosive power could even level an area within several miles.

No disciple of his generation could withstand such an attack!

The enormous cloud of fire arrived before Shi Xuan in an instant, carrying a heat that could melt everything, and before it could even give anyone time to react, it exploded in front of Shi Xuan.

This time, it was far more terrifying than the combination of Fire Wall and Fire Blast from before; the enormous sound made everyone's ears ring.

In an instant, the training ground was engulfed in flames. The audience could not see what was happening on the field, and their hearing was also affected by the huge explosions, so they had no idea what the situation was.
