Qin Yao hovered in mid-air, reached out and threw out a light blue talisman, which landed on her head.
As bursts of blue light fell, another crisp shout rang out.
"rise!"
In an instant, a vibrant green emanated from her body, took root in the earth, and soon formed the phantom of a towering tree.
Immediately following, countless bolts of lightning surged within, shooting densely towards the center of the arena.
On one side, flames raged like the sun, while on the other, pine trees stood tall amidst dazzling lightning.
In a short period of time, the two fought to a standstill, with neither gaining the upper hand.
Unfortunately, Qin Yao was still relying on external forces, and she lacked experience in such a life-or-death battle. This caused most of her lightning strikes to miss, and she gradually lost momentum.
In contrast, the Bifang divine bird, though enormous in size, was extremely agile.
Although they couldn't close the distance, the speed at which they replenished spiritual energy increased significantly after activating the Heaven and Earth Transformation skill. With their fierce attacks, they gradually stabilized the situation.
As time passed, the illusory figure behind Qin Yao completely collapsed. Although he had other talismans, he had been fighting for a long time, and his spirit was weak, so he had no strength to use them.
In the end, he slipped out of the arena, performed a Taoist salute, and conceded defeat.
However, it seems that Fang Bi is not faring well either. His magnificent feathers are charred, indicating that he was also seriously injured by the pure golden lightning.
After regaining his human form, his face was deathly pale, large patches of his skin were cracked, and golden lightning crackled around them. Compared to Qin Yao, who was somewhat exhausted at the time, he seemed to be the one who had lost...
Seeing Qin Yao being comforted by a group of prodigies, Young Master Wang's eyes reddened. He didn't know their identities and assumed that everyone in the group had such a powerful background.
At this moment, the way those geniuses from the celestial caves looked at each other was as if they were seeing gods of wealth, and they were just about to rob them outright.
Sensing the change in Wang Zheng, Grandmaster Yan Hao trembled all over.
"Although I don't know what you're planning, you'd better watch out. Commander Li warned me before we came that we can't afford to ruin our relationship..."
Wang Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. "You're making yourself look bad. You're not even a psychoanalyst, are you? You're just the one who's sensitive!"
Although they won the first match, it was a Pyrrhic victory, and Li Guofeng and his team did not look relaxed.
After all, everyone could see that Fang Bi's strength after activating the Heaven and Earth Transformation was no weaker than that of an ordinary grandmaster, while Qin Yao, although her power was astonishing, had not yet broken through that bottleneck.
Even so, the opponent managed to hold their own against them using various talismans and spells, demonstrating the profound depth of this blessed land.
After letting out a long sigh, Li Guofeng sincerely praised:
"As expected of a top disciple of the Cave Heaven, her strength is indeed formidable, and her escape technique is exquisite. If her spiritual energy were more abundant, the outcome of this battle would be hard to predict."
Although Li Guofeng's praise was sincere, Dao Ling Zhenren was genuinely embarrassed, but he forced himself to keep it up for the sake of his Dao Fa Sect's reputation.
Now that things have come to this, Dao Ling has no choice but to accept it.
Although the young girl seemed a bit flustered at the beginning, she performed quite well later on. Moreover, her overall strength was inferior to her opponent, so her loss was not unjust.
Seeing his senior brother's embarrassment, Dao Jing Zhenren, who was standing to the side, also exchanged some pleasantries with Lao Li.
"China is truly a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. Not only did they manage to take in such a promising talent, but they even managed to awaken a divine beast transformation. They are truly remarkable..."
Despite her curiosity, she refrained from asking about the Bifang mythical beast.
On the one hand, it is indeed impolite to pry into someone's cultivation technique as soon as you meet them. On the other hand, you are also worried that the other party will ask about it later.
Although she herself did not mind exchanging some cultivation techniques, she could not go against the sect leader's wishes and reveal her lineage.
So I simply ignored it at first to avoid any awkwardness later.
However, as the two were exchanging pleasantries, the corner of the carefree immortal's mouth twitched, and then he muttered to himself in a low voice:
"One of them is incredibly wealthy, using up two top-grade spirit talismans in just a few minutes. That's what you call a big sect's wealth! The other one is even more extraordinary; even with the advantage of transforming into a divine beast, he only knows how to fight recklessly... Tsk tsk tsk, these young people nowadays..."
Although his voice was soft, the people around him, all of whom were exceptionally capable, heard it clearly.
But what they said was true, so they could only turn their heads away and ignore them, looking at the other young man who was about to take the stage.
This time, no one was vying for the spot. Since this was also a friendly sparring match that tested the strength of the participants, Linghu Yiyun, who was the strongest, not only planned to make his grand finale appearance, but also designated this young man in black to take the stage in this round.
The other prodigies also wanted to participate, but seeing the flames filling the sky, they didn't say much. Their attributes were what they were, and there was nothing they could do about it.
The one who was chosen, having witnessed the entire battle of the previous round and learned from the experience, did not naively offer a greeting. After entering the arena, he performed a Taoist bow and immediately began to form hand seals to generate spiritual energy.
As the incantation was recited, a light rain suddenly began to fall from the originally clear sky, which then grew heavier and more intense.
In an instant, a torrential downpour began, and the rising moisture even suppressed the Bifang True Flame.
Putting aside the elemental advantage, Fang Bi's own spiritual energy is also inferior to that of his opponent, so there's nothing that can be done.
As expected, the whole process was uneventful, and Fang Bi was completely outmatched.
The young man in black was clearly a level above Qin Yao in combat experience. After casting out layers of water curtains to completely envelop himself, he didn't give the divine bird a chance to get close.
Countless chains of water formed an impenetrable net, trapping Bi Fang within and compressing his space to move. Then, countless ice spikes and pillars shot out, attempting to steadily secure victory!
However, even under such severe attribute restraint and suppression, Fang Bi still managed to hold on for only a few tens of minutes.
Unfortunately, even its final burst of energy couldn't turn the tide. Instead, it exposed a weakness, and its massive body was pierced by more than a dozen ice spikes, pinning it firmly to the damp ground. Thus, it was defeated...
