Below, where no one could see clearly, Xiao Lei'er spat out a mouthful of blood. However, she did not give up. The seals on her hands kept turning, and the surging magical energy continued to flow from her body into the golden-red phoenix.
Even though she had expected that she would fail in this competition, she had never thought that the failure would come so quickly and she was defeated in such a short time.
Although the golden-red phoenix was still struggling, she knew it was only a last-ditch effort. The seven-colored phoenix held it tightly, preventing it from moving at all.
What she wanted to do now was just to prove that she could hold on a little longer. She murmured unconsciously, "Is this the power of a genius?"
The strength she had been so proud of was instantly shattered before her. In that moment, she felt not only that she had failed in the competition, but also that her soul had suffered a huge blow. She had never felt so inferior in front of anyone before, but in front of this proud girl, she truly felt inferior.
"Bang!" A loud bang was heard suddenly, and the golden-red phoenix turned into red light spots, which scattered from the sky, with a desolate beauty.
Obviously, the loud noise just now was the dying blow of the Golden Red Phoenix. Obviously, the power of this blow should not be underestimated. The people blocked by the barrier could not feel how terrifying the energy storm in the middle was, but they saw clearly that the lightning actually turned directly into points of light under this energy storm!
Even lightning can tear the earth apart. What a terrifying energy this is!
Everyone's eyes were filled with horror. The colorful phoenix was also injured after this attack, but it was much better than the golden-red phoenix that completely disappeared.
When everything settled down, the protective barrier slowly disappeared. However, even after such a long time, everyone could still feel the raging energy within it.
Such a terrifying attack was actually launched by two seemingly weak women. Compared with them, they really felt ashamed.
The sky slowly regained some light, but the scorching heat in the air lingered for a long time. This was the power of the Suzaku Palace's strongest martial arts. Even the first move was so terrifying!
Everyone couldn't help but sigh at the might of the four halls' strongest martial arts, which inadvertently strengthened everyone's determination to practice. Many girls also worked harder because of this beautiful phoenix, striving to gain the recognition of the hall master, and learn the martial arts of the Suzaku Hall during the exchange between the four halls!
Everyone immediately turned to the two protagonists of the competition. An Ran was dressed in a spotless white robe, not even a strand of hair was a mess. Her beautiful face remained stoic, her gaze fixed on the ground. No one could tell what she was thinking.
An Ran was completely unharmed! She looked completely fine! She wasn't affected at all by such a surge of energy. How powerful was she?
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It seemed that they had never really seen this mysterious woman since she entered Guangming Island. Every time she appeared, she would bring extreme shock to everyone, and this time was no exception!
When everyone's eyes slowly shifted to Xiao Lei'er, they all gasped.
Compared to the elegant beauty she once was, she now looked frail. Her pale, bloodless face, her beautiful eyes filled with emptiness, as if she had lost something. The remaining blood at the corner of her mouth revealed just how badly she had been injured.
In the majestic wind, it seemed that this figure was like a willow tree that would tremble and fall down at any time, making people want to go up and support it.
In front of a woman who was much younger than herself, she was defeated so miserably. Xiao Lei'er forced a self-deprecating smile on her lips: "You are very strong, I am no match for you."
After saying this simple sentence, Xiao Lei'er turned around gracefully and walked down the arena with a slight stumble.
An Ran stood there, looking at Xiao Lei'er's back, feeling that this competition seemed to have dealt her a big blow... Perhaps she would not be able to regain her original confidence in a short time.
She really wanted to say something to Xiao Lei'er, but when she saw the determination in Xiao Lei'er's eyes, she gave up.
When An Ran returned to her residence, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong had not returned yet. She silently entered the Nine Revolutions Space, looked at the small fire still surrounded by the clear water in the lotus pond, and then returned to the alchemy room!
At night, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong came to An Ran's residence. An Ran looked at them seriously and told them the reason why he had recently improved his strength. By the way, he asked them if they wanted to go in for seclusion and practice.
An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong agreed without thinking. Being strong is definitely a good thing, so they decided to wait until tomorrow to meet the four hall masters and then start practicing in seclusion!
The next morning, Jun Zichen, An Yu and Xu Errong followed An Ran to the Qinglong Palace to find Ning Zhiyuan, Feng Han and the other four. This was what they had discussed beforehand.
Ning Zhiyuan, Feng Han and the other four smiled when they saw An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong coming. The more they looked at these four disciples, the more satisfied they became, especially Ning Zhiyuan.
He said with a smile: "Anran, you have made great progress in this retreat, so much so that even I am surprised." Such progress in half a year is incredible.
"Because of this retreat, I almost missed the competition." An Ran said helplessly. She still felt a little scared when she thought about it.
"Fortunately, we didn't miss it this time, so there is no loss." Ning Zhiyuan's voice was full of kindness. The critical moment of retreat was totally unpredictable.
Feng Han also smiled and said, "Yes, you have impressed me this time. Our disciples here have not been able to learn the martial arts of our Suzaku Palace, but you have mastered it to this level. What do you think? Would you consider coming to our Suzaku Palace?"
Ning Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at Feng Han in anger: "What? Are you trying to steal my disciple right in front of me?"
At this point, Feng Han looked at Ning Zhiyuan solemnly and said, "No, I'm serious. An Ran is obviously more suitable for us, and Jun Zichen is more suitable for you. After all, the martial arts of our two halls are different, and it just so happens that they are both good at the martial arts of our other hall."
