The crowd gasped in astonishment, and Long Ya's eyes grew increasingly filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
Qi Yu snorted coldly. Although she didn't know why she hadn't encountered the Golden Core stage tribulation in the space, her cultivation level had indeed improved.
Moreover...
In her eyes, Long Ya's sword strike, delivered during the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, was ridiculously slow.
With her left hand, she formed another sword incantation, and the Compassionate Sword danced in her hand, hurtling towards Dragon Cliff with unstoppable force.
Qi Yu's swordplay was so unpredictable that onlookers could hardly see its direction, leaving them both astonished and amazed.
"Yu Shengyan's sword is so fast!"
"There must be something special about her. I saw her performance in the secret realm trial, and she was definitely not at her current level back then!"
"Could it be that she's been searching for her own opportunity for the past four months?"
"As expected of someone chosen by the sect leader, I was just blind back then and even secretly..."
"I imagine Yu Shengyan will shine brightly in the sect competition."
Everyone was amazed, but it didn't affect Qi Yu in the slightest. She continued to strike with lightning speed, becoming more and more courageous as the battle progressed.
However, her opponent's state of mind was completely different from hers at this moment.
Longya hastily accepted the challenge, sword in hand, his mind reeling.
Although he was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he knew in his heart that his cultivation was mostly built up with rare and precious materials.
In addition, because of his noble status, although he was a fellow disciple of the sect, no one would ask him to work as hard as he did during some missions, so he had very little practical experience.
Longya possessed spiritual power but was unable to control it smoothly, and was forced to retreat steadily under Qi Yu's command.
He gritted his teeth and formed an extremely complex hand seal, attempting to summon the illusory image of the Azure Dragon.
However, whether it was because the Azure Dragon was frightened by the fire phoenix or for some other reason, no matter how he called out to the Azure Dragon, it did not appear.
Even the blue mark on his forehead showed signs of fading!
Zhu Li exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Longya, your Azure Dragon Seal!"
Longya felt a burning sensation on his forehead. He reached out in fear to touch the mark, only to be horrified to find that it was as smooth as new.
What happened?!
His connection with the Azure Dragon God has been severed!
The green sword in Longya's hand fell to the ground, and he looked around blankly.
His Azure Dragon inheritance has been taken back.
Qi Yu didn't know what was going on, but she still remembered to avenge Bai Huan.
She kicked out, aiming at Longya.
"Your Highness, has anyone ever told you that you cannot be distracted when facing an enemy?"
Longya spat out a mouthful of blood and was kicked several meters away.
He quickly recalled his natal spirit sword, gritted his teeth, stood up, and continued the battle.
However, his heart was unsettled, still preoccupied with the matter of the Azure Dragon's inheritance, and he felt even more dejected when facing the focused Qi Yu.
Before long, bloody marks appeared on Longya's body.
Internal strife is forbidden among disciples of the sect, and as the sect leader's personal disciple, Qi Yu naturally cannot lead the way in disobeying this rule.
She summoned a wisp of pale green spiritual energy from her hand and whispered, "The Art of Rejuvenation."
Thanks to Venerable Canglang's torment—no, I should say his careful guidance—her rejuvenation technique has become increasingly refined.
As soon as Longya had a new wound, it was quickly healed by that gentle, rejuvenating power.
only……
Although the spiritual power always healed his wounds to a degree of 99%, until they were completely undetectable.
However, the pain was still significant.
It could even be said that the pain of being cut, coupled with the excruciating itching of the healing wound, caused his discomfort to skyrocket.
Longya was in both pain and itching, and he couldn't stop groaning in discomfort.
Long Ying, who was watching, squinted, not understanding what Qi Yu had done to Long Ya.
Once she could clearly see Qi Yu's movements...
The thirteenth princess, who was also a member of the Qinglong Kingdom's royal family, quietly stepped back a little.
Fortunately, she didn't make any rash moves when Longya was teaching Bai Huan a lesson, nor did she get involved unnecessarily.
Otherwise, if he were tormented by Qi Yu now, it wouldn't just be Longya he would be in trouble.
Long Ying covered her eyes, unable to bear watching, but quietly peeked through a crack with her fingers to continue observing.
Longya, you're such a fool, you brought this upon yourself.
Those who are chosen by the leader of a major sect like the Flying Star Sect are no ordinary people.
She clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly.
I hope he's alright.
While Long Ying was offering his gloating prayers, Long Ya, trapped in dire straits, was completely unaware.
He looked at the girl standing in front of him with a faint smile on her lips, and he felt an urge to skin her alive.
He, the ninth prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, had never been treated with such humiliation!
"Hmm?" Qi Yu sheathed her sword and looked at Long Ya's expression with curiosity. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Long Ya's clothes were torn to shreds by the sword energy. He collapsed to the ground, gritting his teeth and refusing to answer.
Qi Yu smiled and casually swung his sword again, leaving a line of blood on Long Ya's neck.
She slowly and methodically used her wood elemental power to repair the wound, and said softly, "Then, when you hurt others, did you ever think about how they would feel?"
"Taking advantage of his cultivation level, he arbitrarily bullies others..."
"Then naturally we must be prepared to become part of this 'weak deserve to die' mentality..."
"after all……"
Looking down at him, Qi Yu suddenly stopped smiling, stared at him expressionlessly, and said, "There will always be someone stronger than you."
She raised her sword—
"Stop! What are you doing!"
An angry male voice suddenly came from afar.
Upon seeing the man, the disciples who were watching exclaimed in surprise, "Venerable Zhichou has arrived!"
Qi Yu's hand continued its work, the sword still slashing towards Long Ya.
"Bang!"
An invisible barrier protected Longya, sparing him from the pain of that sword strike.
The powerful aura was already very close. Qi Yu sighed regretfully and sheathed his sword.
She turned to the elder, whose face was full of anger, and said, "Greetings, Venerable Zhichou."
Venerable Zhichou was dressed in a blue robe and had a young and handsome face, but at this moment his eyes and brows were filled with anger.
He looked at Qi Yu with displeasure and said, "Fighting is forbidden within the sect. Yu Shengyan, are you just acting so recklessly because you are the sect leader's personal disciple?"
"I had heard that you always bullied other disciples, and you did it again today."
Qi Yu shrugged dramatically, "I'm innocent, Your Highness. Isn't this Dragon Prince perfectly fine?"
She casually pointed and said, "Look, he has no injuries. I was just playing with him. Who would have thought he would be so easily teased? It's like taking his life."
"You!" Long Ya was so angry he was practically spitting fire.
Venerable Zhichou said sternly, "Yu Shengyan, do you think I'm a fool, someone you can easily fool?!"
"How dare I!" Qi Yu shouted. "If you don't believe me, strip him naked. If you can find even one wound, I'll admit defeat."
"Still talking nonsense!"
Venerable Zhichou spoke sharply and sternly, a chain-like magical artifact appearing in his hand, "Today I will take you to the Star Punishment Hall to punish your crimes!"
He uttered an incantation, and the chain artifact immediately slithered toward Qi Yu like a venomous snake.
