Yi Ting wrapped her wide robe tighter around herself, took a deep breath, and then stretched out her jade hand, pointing it at the incoming spiritual energy spear in mid-air.
Within the nine cauldrons atop the Nine Cauldrons Flame-Nourishing Vine, nine distinct flames flowed forth.
These flames took on various shapes; some resembled fire snakes, others stars, and still others thunder... As the flames flickered, their majestic aura surged once more.
In just a few breaths, nine fiery vines spread toward the gleaming spiritual spear.
The moment the two sides made contact, a violent roar erupted in the air. The spiritual spear, entangled by the nine flames, began to tremble violently. The originally sharp spear tip was quickly melted, and the powerful spiritual energy was mercilessly dissipated by the flames.
In the blink of an eye, the incredibly powerful spiritual energy spear was shredded into countless fragments of spiritual energy, which dissipated into the air.
The man's face paled with shock the moment he saw the Nine Cauldrons Flame-Nourishing Vine's aura surge.
"Damn, we really messed up!"
Cursing under his breath, he no longer cared about continuing the fight and turned to flee without a second thought. He unleashed all his power, spiritual energy surging beneath his feet, and sprinted away, kicking up clouds of dust.
Seeing this, Yi Ting, still seething with anger, let out a cold snort. A vine radiating silver flames extended from the Nine Cauldrons Flame-Nourishing Vine, instantly piercing through the void.
The silver flame streaked across the void, catching up with the fleeing man in the blink of an eye.
puff!
The next moment, the silver flame vines pierced straight through his chest. The man felt a chill in his chest, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body. An incredulous look remained on his face.
Then the man's figure began to fade away, turning into specks of light and disappearing into the vast desert.
A faint ray of light fell from it and drifted towards Yiting.
Yi Ting reached out and caught the beam of light, a smug look appearing on her gentle face:
"Fortunately, I've nurtured the soul contract Elder Jingwei gave me well, after all, it's my biggest source of confidence in the future against that jealous woman Xia..."
As she murmured, a whooshing sound came from the horizon, and a dazzling light streak rushed over and arrived in front of Yiting.
As the light and shadow faded, Su Xuan's concerned face was revealed. When she saw that Yi Ting was safe and sound, her previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and her eyes were full of relief.
"Yiting, thank goodness you're alright." Su Xuan said as she quickly came to Yiting's side, looking her up and down, and only after confirming that she had no other injuries did she finally feel relieved.
"Don't be afraid, your senior sister is here. Follow her closely, and she'll lead you to make a name for your Misty Sect!"
Su Xuan: ? つ/????/'?'? ? ?? ??? _? ?つ/????/'?'? ? ?? ?? ??
Yiting: (∩′﹏`∩)
......
On the other side, in a dense forest, giant ancient trees rise from the ground, their thick trunks covered with layers of lush branches and leaves, completely obscuring the sky.
In the forest, clusters of fluorescent lights shimmer with a dreamlike glow, adding a unique touch to this mysterious forest.
Just then, a man appeared in the forest without warning.
The man had a handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a confident curve to his lips.
He possessed a unique temperament, exuding an aura of unwavering resilience, seemingly unshaken by any hardship or obstacle in the world. This person was none other than Xiao Chen, the outstanding member of the Starfall Sect this year and the leader of the team participating in the academy competition.
The Starfall Sect has had a tumultuous history. Its performance in the previous academic competition was lackluster, placing it near the bottom of the rankings.
This outcome caused the Starfall Sect's prestige among universities to plummet, threatening it with expulsion. The students within the sect were filled with anxiety and low morale, shrouded in a heavy gloom.
However, two years ago, Xiao Chen was born out of thin air in the Starfall Gate.
Born into humble circumstances with no powerful family background to support him, Xiao Chen had to rely entirely on himself. However, through his relentless efforts and a series of fortuitous encounters, he distinguished himself among the new disciples of the Starfall Sect.
His strength increased rapidly, like a rocket, and he quickly became the leading figure among the younger generation in the sect, taking up the banner of this year's competition between universities.
"So this is the so-called Shattered Continent. I wonder which of the five regions it is?"
Xiao Chen gazed at the dense, towering forest before him and murmured to himself. But he didn't linger, as his immediate priority as the team leader was to find the other members of the group.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and then a figure was teleported to him not far away.
The figure was dressed in a magnificent purple robe, and although a thin veil covered her face, it could not conceal her ethereal aura.
However, perhaps due to the teleportation, a corner of the veil was lifted, revealing a face that could eclipse the heavens and earth.
This woman's beauty is a masterpiece of nature, her eyebrows like spring mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters hiding stars, her skin like solidified cream bathed in moonlight, her face like a banished immortal descended to earth. Even a highly accomplished monk would find it difficult to resist her charms.
However, beneath this femme fatale's appearance, this woman's figure was like an uncarved jade. Although she swayed gracefully, she lacked a bit of plumpness, and her chest was flat and unremarkable, just like an unbloomed lotus flower, leaving only the imagination.
Even though Xiao Chen usually had good self-control, he was still shocked by this stunningly beautiful face.
