Wu Qianqian is Wu Rouwan's niece. If she says this, Xu Shen Shen will probably be locked up again.
But this is something Xu Shen Shen truly deserves.
Qi Yu's face was gloomy; she was still heartbroken over the hundred points she had lost.
I was hoping to accumulate 25,000 points as soon as possible, exchange them for 250 merits, and unlock the intermediate shop to buy the antidote for Seven Cold Soul Stealing. But Xu Shen's meddling has delayed the time to unlock the shop.
The image of that silver-haired, red-eyed figure appeared in Qi Yu's mind.
I wonder when I'll be able to return the inner core to Feng Xiao...
Thinking of the phoenix flute that had appeared in his imagination, Qi Yu rubbed his temples helplessly.
It's all Feng Xiao's fault for always touching her inappropriately, having such a femme fatale appearance, and always saying ambiguous things, which made her have impure thoughts.
When faced with something too beautiful, Qi Yu's first thought wasn't how to get her hands on it, but rather to keep her at a distance.
Roses always have thorns, and Feng Xiao is no ordinary person either.
The phoenix, a species that is always present in folk tales and legends, is powerful and proud.
Although she didn't know why Feng Xiao was always clinging to her and had even signed a symbiotic contract with her, having Feng Xiao around would still bring many uncertainties.
Qi Yu sighed.
Once the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique is resolved and the inner core is returned to Feng Xiao, then it's time to say goodbye to him.
The symbiotic contract must also be dissolved, otherwise she won't feel at ease.
She would eventually return to where she was from. Although the world of cultivation was wondrous, she longed to go back to her previous peaceful life.
...
After the halftime break, only four disciples remained in the fifth round of competition, facing off in pairs.
The four of them drew wooden sticks from the lottery bucket together. Qi Yu glanced at his own stick—"Yi Yi".
She glanced at the slip of paper in Mu Luo's hand; it was the same as hers.
After looking at the lot he had drawn, Lai Pi sneered and said, "Qi Yu, you'd better step up your game against Senior Sister Fei Huan this round. Don't lose to Mu Luo. I'm still waiting to defeat you."
Upon hearing this, the disciples below the stage all sighed with regret.
In this round, Qi Yu will face off against Mu Luo. Only if Qi Yu wins this match will we see Qi Yu and Lai Pi face off.
Qi Yu ignored Lai Pi's provocation and locked eyes with Mu Luo.
She smiled and said, "Senior Brother Mu, although I'm not sure if I can beat you, don't go easy on me just because we're familiar with each other."
Upon hearing this, Mu Luo laughed and said, "Of course not, your senior brother is also very envious of the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Mu Luo had been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for a long time, and this third-grade Foundation Establishment Pill might be the key to his breakthrough, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.
At Hua Nongying's command of "Begin," the four of them flew to the two martial arts stages, A and B.
Mu Luo's first impression on Qi Yu was that he was lazy. On the day of the spiritual root test, he was lying on the table without any proper posture. However, although he was lazy, he was honest and easy-going. Otherwise, he would not have taken Qi Yu to the front to be tested first when An Rong'er cut in line.
Qi Yu was grateful to Mu Luo, who was one of the few people she had met since entering this world who showed her kindness.
However, Qi Yu had already bet five thousand low-grade spirit stones on the betting game. Rather than feeling grateful, Qi Yu still wanted to make a fortune through the betting game.
Senior brother, I'm sorry, but I'll treat you to a meal once I've earned some spirit stones!
She summoned the Sword of Compassion and fiercely attacked Mu Luo.
Seeing that Qi Yu was lost in his memories, Mu Luo indulged him and did not interrupt. He watched as Qi Yu's expression changed constantly, sometimes with emotion, sometimes with ferocity, and sometimes with determination, before he suddenly drew his sword and began to attack.
Startled, he jumped back, dodging Qi Yu's sword, and cried out in despair:
"What happened to politeness! Why didn't you salute me before you started fighting!"
Qi Yu chuckled, his sword strikes unstoppable, unstoppable.
Mu Luo also drew his sword and stepped forward to meet the attack.
As the sword flashed, leaves fell, adding a touch of grimness to the battle.
Xu Lanyue ran into the training ground carrying a box of freshly baked pastries, her eyes glued to Mu Luo on the stage.
The image of Mu Luo intently wielding his longsword was deeply etched in her mind. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she lowered her head in disappointment, standing alone outside the crowd.
Xu Shen, who was watching the game, suddenly noticed Xu Lanyue, frowned and pulled her to the front.
Xu Lanyue's eyes were still a little red as she shyly greeted the other disciples, inadvertently making eye contact with Mu Luo on the stage.
Mu Luo's mind stirred slightly, and his movements slowed for a moment. Qi Yu seized the opportunity and knocked his sword away with a single blow.
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Senior brother, you're daydreaming."
Mu Luo sighed softly and put the sword down.
"I admit defeat because I am inferior in skill. Junior sister is so amazing, it really makes your senior brother, who has been cultivating for so long, lose face."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "You flatter me. I still remember what you said to encourage me back then. Please relax and take it slow."
The two smiled at each other, and Mu Luo walked down from the martial arts stage with a relieved expression, heading towards Xu Lanyue's direction.
Meanwhile, the contest between Lai Pi and Senior Sister Fei Huan also ended, and unsurprisingly, Lai Pi won.
The disciples watching the battle erupted in excitement, their burning gazes constantly shifting between Qi Yu and Lai Pi.
"Qi Yuzhen, really made it to the final round!"
"I don't care about my few dozen spirit stones anymore, I just want to see if Qi Yu can defeat Senior Brother Lai Pi!"
"She, with only five spiritual roots, was able to achieve this. Does that mean we also have a chance..."
"Wake up! Qi Yu is no ordinary person. She's been at the Spirit Academy for so many days and she's caused so much trouble. Does she look like someone to be trifled with?"
"However, Qi Yu is indeed a ruthless person."
Sitting on her flying sword, Hua Nongying also enthusiastically controlled the sword to fly to the front of the martial arts arena.
"Very good, I did the right thing with this sword-fighting tournament. It's finally starting to get interesting."
Hua Nongying asked Qi Yu and Lai Pi, "You've been fighting for so long, are you tired? Do you want to rest and continue tomorrow, or finish the match today in one go?"
Before Qi Yu and Lai Pi could answer, the disciples watching the battle had already started shouting loudly.
"Commander Hua, let them finish fighting today. Everyone's appetite has been whetted."
"That's right, I won't be able to eat or sleep if I don't know the result!"
Hua Nongying was also eager to know who would win between Lai Pi, whom she had always favored, and Qi Yu, who always piqued her interest.
Following up on her disciples' words, she asked, "Is it alright to finish the competition today?"
After several battles and being severely weakened by Xu Shen, Qi Yu was already quite tired. Although physically exhausted, her spirit remained high.
"no problem!"
Lai Pi readily agreed, "Okay."
The disciples watching the battle began to stir.
The real show is about to begin.
