"What...what kind of monster is she?"
The cultivators present were going crazy; they had never seen anything so illogical.
"Destroying a dragon with a single sword? Is this real? Am I dreaming?"
"That was a venomous dragon! Its cultivation level alone was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could Bai Ying kill such a venomous dragon so easily? She's terrifying!"
"That's not the scariest part. Don't forget, the scariest part is that Bai Ying is on the arena. She can't use any talismans or magical artifacts; she can only use the most ordinary weapons available on the arena. How did she manage that?! Could it be that her cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
At this moment, not only were the ordinary cultivators present stunned, but even the high-ranking members of the Bai family were dumbfounded.
Bai Ying's parents, Bai Ying and Zhou Ying, stood frozen in place, their mouths slightly agape, their expressions frozen as if they had been struck by a spell. Bai Yanfeng was equally stunned, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
A seventeen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator? This was something they couldn't even imagine. Not only had the Bai family never produced such a gifted member, but even across the entire Lingchuan Continent, they had never heard of a genius who had reached the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age.
The eyes of the Bai family's high-ranking members lit up instantly.
Deep down, they also felt that the claim of a seventeen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator was absurd, almost like a fantasy. But the facts before them were undeniable; at the very least, it proved that Bai Ying possessed the formidable strength to fight against a Nascent Soul stage demon beast, and her cultivation level should have reached at least the late Golden Core stage.
They must take such a promising talent seriously, no matter what.
Previously, the Bai family's higher-ups, who had shown no interest in Bai Ying and even looked down on her, quickly walked over to the Bai couple.
An elder of the Bai family, with a beaming smile and eager eyes, said directly to Bai Ying and Zhou Ying, "Bai Ying is such an outstanding child! You must treat her well and do everything you can to keep her firmly in our Bai family!"
Zhou Ying still looked a little embarrassed. Their reunion with Bai Ying wasn't very pleasant, and she didn't know if Bai Ying would still want to stay in the Bai family.
Bai Ying had already assured the family's higher-ups, "Elders, rest assured, she is, after all, our child."
Zhou Ying, still somewhat worried, tugged at Bai Ying's sleeve, telling him not to talk nonsense. Bai Ying, however, said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, Bai Ying is still our own flesh and blood. Blood is thicker than water. Since she's found us, it means she wants to acknowledge us. We'll just treat her better from now on. Children like her lack family affection the most. If we treat her well, she'll definitely be overwhelmed with gratitude."
Zhou Ying finally nodded, secretly plotting how to get Bai Ying to stay.
They failed to notice that Bai Di, standing beside them, had an extremely unpleasant expression, her eyes filled with indescribable jealousy and anger.
Bai Di simply couldn't believe that Bai Ying was so powerful. Previously, she had wholeheartedly believed Hua Mujian's claim that Bai Ying had cheated, but now, with the facts laid bare before her eyes and Bai Ying's formidable strength displayed, she was jolted awake from her daze.
Destroying a dragon with a single sword strike was a feat she never dared to dream of, yet Bai Ying accomplished it with ease.
Filled with rage, Bai Di glared fiercely at Hua Mujian, who was slumped on the stage. She hated Hua Mujian for being so incompetent, losing to Bai Ying so easily and shattering her hopes.
Hua Mujian's face was equally deathly pale. He clenched his teeth, his facial muscles twitching slightly with anger and resentment. He still had a trump card: a Kui Wolf whose strength had reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
This Kui Wolf was exceptionally powerful, but its strength was far beyond Hua Mujian's complete control. His family had repeatedly warned him that he must never release the Kui Wolf unless it was a matter of life and death.
But at this moment, Hua Mujian was blinded by hatred and resentment, and he no longer cared about those warnings.
He had only one thought in his mind: to kill Bai Ying and save face.
Seeing Bai Ying's sword coldly pointed at him again, Hua Mujian's eyes instantly became bloodshot. He glared fiercely at Bai Ying and roared at her, "I'm telling you, I will never admit defeat! Die!"
Hua Mujian bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of scalding blood. In an instant, space seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force, and a gigantic Kui wolf roared out of the darkness. This Kui wolf was surrounded by a thick black mist, filled with a chilling stench of blood. Its eyes were bloodshot, like two burning flames, filled with violence and madness. It seemed to have completely lost its mind, launching indiscriminate attacks on everything around it.
Upon seeing this, Hua Mujian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bit his tongue again, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence towards Kui Lang.
Guided by the power of his essence blood, Kui Lang's actions were somewhat brought under control. Hua Mujian pointed at Bai Ying with a trembling finger, his voice hoarse with anger and excitement: "Go, kill her!"
The Bai family members turned deathly pale upon witnessing this scene. Especially the higher-ups, their eyes filled with rage. Hua Mujian's repeated cheating was utterly despicable. Even worse, he dared to attempt to kill Bai Ying, the Bai family's most promising talent, using such a vile method.
