Fang Qi quickly waved his hand and raised a black shield to block the attacking sword.
The sword light shot onto the black shield, making a clanging sound.
"Crack!" A cracking sound was heard, and Fang Qi's eyes widened suddenly. The next moment, several sword beams pierced through the shield and stabbed towards Fang Qi.
Fang Qi was horrified and stepped back quickly, trying to avoid the sword light, but the sword light was too fast. As the pain came, the sword light left several bloody marks on his body.
Before he could react to the pain, Fang Qi found that his feet were empty and he fell off the stage.
At the same time, the mirror in the air fell to the ground with a "bang".
"How is this possible?"
"Su Jinyue actually won?" Everyone in the audience looked at Su Jinyue on the stage in disbelief, their eyes full of shock.
"Senior Sister Su is amazing!" Wu Zheng and Ling Xiaoqiu shouted excitedly. They knew that Senior Sister Su was very powerful, but they were still a little surprised that she defeated her opponent so quickly.
Zhan Yihan smiled softly, his deep eyes looking at Su Jinyue on the stage with tenderness and affection. His Jinyue was the best!
The elders from each peak on the high platform withdrew their gazes and looked at Elder Mo.
"Elder Mo, does this Su Jinyue really have mixed spiritual roots?"
"Are you mistaken? How could the cultivation speed of multi-element spiritual roots be so fast?"
"I thought Su Jinyue was only talented in talismans, but I didn't expect her cultivation speed to be so fast. In just over a year, she has already reached the middle stage of casual cultivation."
Elder Mo gave a bitter laugh. "I also think I was wrong." But how could the test stone be wrong? After the competition was over, he should help Su Jinyue test it again.
Fang Qi got up from the ground and looked at Su Jinyue in shock. He was sure that Su Jinyue was definitely not a mid-stage Loose Cultivator. She must have concealed her cultivation level. The sword light released by a mid-stage Loose Immortal would definitely not be so strong as to shatter his shield.
Fang Qi gritted his teeth unwillingly and turned to walk into the crowd. He never thought that after all his scheming, he would be defeated by a woman he looked down upon.
Su Jinyue raised her lips slightly, put away her sword and waited for the next opponent to come on stage.
"Senior Sister Su, I'm Wang Jin. Please give me your guidance!" Wang Jin stepped onto the stage and bowed to Su Jinyue. He and Su Jinyue had entered the Secluded Immortal Palace together, and he had originally looked down on her, after all, she had gotten in through the backdoor. But now, he began to admire her. It was truly remarkable that she had reached such a high level of cultivation with such a mediocre aptitude as those of mixed spiritual roots. The hard work she had endured was surely beyond his imagination.
"Junior Brother Wang, please give me your guidance!" Su Jinyue smiled and bowed.
As the elder announced the start, Su Jinyue and Wang Jin moved at the same time.
The two figures flew around the stage and fought for a whole incense stick before Wang Jin ended up losing.
Su Jinyue also fought easily against the next few opponents, and as expected, Su Jinyue entered the finals.
Watching Su Jinyue walk down from the stage, Zhou Jizhou's eyes were filled with deep thought. He'd thought his only opponent was Zhan Yihan, but he hadn't expected Zhan Yihan's immortal partner to be so formidable. It seemed he'd underestimated them. He had to find a way to defeat them; he couldn't lose.
As Su Jinyue walked off the stage, the competition came to an end. This competition lasted five days, which was plenty of time.
"Senior Sister Su, your performance today was truly remarkable, especially the moment you knocked Fang Qi off the stage. Almost everyone in the audience was stunned," Wu Zheng said excitedly. He paid close attention to his surroundings, and seeing the identical expressions on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but laugh. Was this the case of "if you don't make a name for yourself, you'll make a splash when you do." Let's see if those people still dare to look down on Senior Sister Su, saying she got in thanks to Senior Brother Zhan's connections.
"That's right. When we saw their stunned looks, Wu Zheng and I almost died of laughter. It was so funny." Ling Xiaoqiu said with a smile.
"I'm going to be on stage tomorrow. I really hope I can make a splash like Senior Sister Su." Wu Zheng said longingly.
"I hope so too." Ling Xiaoqiu said with a smile.
Not long after Zhou Jizhou entered the room, there was a knock on the door.
He walked forward and opened the door, and saw Fang Qi outside, "Why are you here?" Although the two of them came in together, they didn't have much interaction with each other normally.
"Let's go inside and talk." Fang Qi said calmly.
Zhou Jizhou nodded and walked into the room. He guessed that Fang Qi came to see him because of the new disciple competition.
Fang Qi walked into the room, closed the door, and casually set up a soundproof barrier. Then he walked to Fang Qi and sat down.
"Just tell me what you want to say." Zhou Jizhou picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for himself and Fang Qi. He had originally lived with Liu She, but after Liu She left to take on a mission, he never returned, so now he was the only one in the room.
"Do you want to win this competition?" Fang Qi looked at Zhou Jizhou.
"Of course!" Zhou Jizhou nodded. Wasn't he talking nonsense? Which disciple participating in the competition didn't want to win first place?
"Your current opponents are Zhan Yihan and his wife. They must have concealed their true cultivation level." Fang Qi said affirmatively.
Zhou Jizhou nodded and said, "I know this. Your cultivation is not much worse than mine. That Su Jinyue can defeat you easily. Her cultivation is definitely not the mid-stage immortal that she showed." He is not stupid, how could he not see it.
A hint of anger flashed in Fang Qi's eyes, "Do you want to beat them?" He has been eliminated and now can only pin his hopes on Zhou Jizhou.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhou Jizhou snorted coldly.
Fang Qi suppressed his anger and took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table. "This is the numbing powder. As long as you can inject it into Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, their spiritual power will be sealed. Then it will be easy for you to win, right?"
Zhou Jizhou picked up the jade bottle and asked worriedly, "Will this be discovered?" Even if Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan couldn't find it, the elders of each peak were still sitting on the high platform.
"This is colorless and odorless. Only a Level 5 Immortal Alchemist or above would notice it," Fang Qi said. He was very confident in this Masui Powder. He had originally intended to use it on Zhan Yihan, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Su Jinyue.
"Then I'll try." Zhou Jizhou put the jade bottle into his storage ring. He thought about how to get it on Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue, and when would be the best time to do it.
Fang Qi raised his teacup and toasted to Zhou Jizhou, "I wish you success!" He put a chronic poison in the numbing powder. Even if Zhou Jizhou won, he would be poisoned. He would not hand over his handle to Zhou Jizhou.
