"Sister..."
Seeing her elder sister, Jiang Zhiling lost all her sharpness. With blood on the corner of her lips, she said with difficulty, "I couldn't beat him..."
Jiang Deng stroked Jiang Zhiling's hair and said softly, "No, you are already very good. I am proud to have a sister like you."
Jiang Zhiling finally smiled, "That's good."
As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, her breath so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.
"Zhiling? Don't scare me!"
Jiang Deng was about to take out some medicine from his storage bag to heal Jiang Zhiling's wounds when a hand suddenly appeared in front of him.
Following the hand's direction, I looked up and saw Jiang Zhi handing over a porcelain bottle. He said anxiously, "There's a recovery pill in it. Give it to her quickly."
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
This pill was clearly a life-saving pill given to him by his master. He had originally planned to keep it for use in the ring, but now seeing that Jiang Zhiling was seriously injured, he subconsciously took out the pill.
As for what would happen if he got injured in the ring without this pill, he hadn't thought about that.
Jiang Deng glanced at Jiang Zhi and saw that he really had no bad intentions, so he took the porcelain bottle and poured out the pills inside.
Suddenly, a strong medicinal aroma rushed into her nose, and just a simple sniff made her feel light all over.
This pill is indeed a low-grade Xuan-level recovery pill, which is very effective in treating serious injuries. No matter how serious the injuries are, cultivators below the late Jindan stage can recover quickly, not to mention Jiang Zhiling who is only in the early foundation-building stage.
This pill is indeed better than all the pills she has on hand.
"Thank you."
Jiang Deng simply thanked her and gave the recovery pill to Jiang Zhiling.
Although Jiang Zhiling hadn't woken up yet, her breathing had become much calmer, and her injuries were rapidly healing...
Seeing this, Jiang Deng finally let go of his worries.
"Ring number one, Lin Jun wins!"
At this moment, Manager Zhou's voice resounded throughout the arena.
Hearing this, Jiang Deng suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Jun on the stage angrily, gritting his teeth and saying, "...Lin Jun!"
She didn't expect Lin Jun to be so shameless. If Jiang Zhi hadn't taken out a Xuan-level elixir, Jiang Zhiling's life might not have been saved!
Meeting Jiang Deng's hostile gaze, Lin Jun smiled contemptuously and mouthed to Jiang Deng - See you in the finals.
Then he jumped off the stage and walked away.
Looking at Lin Jun's departing back, Jiang Deng's eyes were sharp.
She wants to get this debt back from Lin Jun personally!
Soon... the winners and losers of the remaining battles were also decided.
The first was the match between Zhou Shan and He Yan. He Yan was not as shameless as Sun Fei and could not use any despicable means, so even though his opponent was the seriously injured Zhou Shan, he still could not defeat him.
He Yan ranked tenth, while Zhou Shan took ninth place.
And among the remaining eight people——
Jiang Deng and Lin Jun from the first group won all three rounds and automatically advanced to the finals. The champion will be chosen from among them.
In the second group, Jiang Zhiling, Jiang Zhi, and Xiao Yan all had two wins and one loss.
Because Jiang Zhiling had played against Jiang Zhi once before, this time she directly competed against Xiao Yan to compete with him for the qualification to advance to the semi-finals. If she failed to advance, she would compete with the people in the next group for the fifth place.
Ying Ziru, Leng Baige and Sun Fei in the third group all had one win and two losses.
In the first round, Sun Fei lost to Ying Ziru. In this round, he will compete against Leng Baige. The loser will be ranked eighth directly, and the winner can continue to the next ranking battle.
After taking the recovery pill, Jiang Zhiling has regained consciousness and most of her injuries have recovered. Her competition is about to begin, and she is taking the time to regulate her breathing.
First there was the battle between Leng Baige and Sun Fei.
Sun Fei took a deep breath. If he won this round, he could continue to participate in the ranking battle. If he lost, he would only be ranked eighth.
Let’s fight!
"Come on, we are counting on you." Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling saw Sun Fei off.
"Yes! I can do it!"
Sun Fei walked out of the rest area with full confidence.
Soon, Sun Fei returned to the rest area with a dejected look on his face, followed by Leng Baige with a smug look on his face.
"Tsk, how come you only lasted for such a short time?" Jiang Deng said with a look of disgust.
Sun Fei had a bitter face. "I really tried my best, but the difference between natural spiritual roots and special spiritual roots is still too big, not to mention the gap in cultivation between us. The most important thing is..."
"No matter if I pretend to be dead or injured, he won't fall for it! How can I fight him?"
As he spoke, Sun Fei looked depressed. He had really tried his best, but he still lost to Leng Baige.
Jiang Deng couldn't help but shook his head, "Your trick won't work on him."
Leng Baige is a demon cultivator and has no empathy for people. Not to mention that Sun Fei is pretending to be dead, even if he is really dead, Leng Baige will not care and will probably applaud!
"Leng Baige won this round and will continue to the next ranking match. Sun Fei is ranked eighth."
Manager Zhou, who was in charge of recording the match progress, continued, "Next match, Xiao Yan versus Jiang Zhiling!"
Now, Jiang Zhiling has almost recovered. The haze between her brows has been swept away, and she is back to her former lively and energetic state.
Jiang Deng patted Jiang Zhiling's shoulder and said, "Don't force yourself. Try your best to protect yourself."
Jiang Zhiling nodded seriously this time and agreed obediently: "Okay, sister, I won't make you worry anymore!"
After smiling at Jiang Deng, Jiang Zhiling followed Xiao Yan out.
It can be said that there was no surprise that Jiang Zhiling lost the game.
Although she and Xiao Yan were both in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, their combat experience was far superior to each other. Jiang Zhiling was simply unable to compete with Xiao Yan.
Fortunately, apart from a small cut on her finger, Jiang Zhiling did not suffer any serious injuries, which made Jiang Deng feel relieved.
After returning to the rest area.
Xiao Yan used his spiritual consciousness to transmit a message, asking the demon seed in his dantian, "How is it? Is her blood compatible with the one you're looking for?"
He thought Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling were sisters.
The amount of blood between the two should be about the same, so during the fight, he took the opportunity to scratch Jiang Zhiling with his sword and took a drop of her blood for the demon to identify.
The demon in the Dantian smacked its lips. "Although this woman has a single gold spiritual root and an innate sword bone, and has excellent aptitude, she is not the one I'm looking for. Well, don't waste your time. I've already said that this loser Jiang Deng can't be the reincarnation of Venerable Jiang Deng. You still don't believe it and insist on testing it. Well, it's a waste of time, right?"
Instead of disappearing, Xiao Yan's doubts deepened.
No, the test using Jiang Zhiling's blood is still not accurate enough.
We still have to get Jiang Deng’s blood to verify it!
Fortunately, after the sect competition is over, these top ten disciples will go to the secret realm together, so they won't have to worry about finding an opportunity to verify it then...
