The golden-red color could be any of the following: the tenth-ranked Holy Flame of Light, the twenty-third-ranked Glazed Heart Flame, or the fifth-ranked Crimson Divine Flame. Su Shaxuan used it very subtly, blending the strange flame with the sphere of light. If they didn't possess strange flames themselves, their aura would be almost imperceptible.
Shangguan Ling is a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, and Su Shaxuan possesses a strange fire and the Holy Body of Light; this Saintess Peak is becoming increasingly interesting. Su Shaxuan launched a powerful attack, directly killing a demon, then gracefully returned to her seat and began to meditate. This battle, seemingly won easily, actually consumed terrifying amounts of true energy, both in terms of the light wings and the final condensation of the light sphere. As for that tiny flame, it was deadly.
After taking a few pills given to her by Ye Xiruo, Su Shaxuan began to recover her true essence. She would still have a chance to challenge again later.
For the top fifty prodigies, the difficulty of a successful comeback has increased significantly. So far, only two have succeeded: one from an alien race and one from the human race. The rest have all failed in their challenges. The battles between these prodigies are becoming increasingly exciting. Even Zishu and Jingli are no longer distracted; they are now observing intently, continuously incorporating the essence of the battles into their own martial arts cultivation.
So far, no one has challenged the top ten. The most annoying person in the top ten is Xiu Qiyu. His cultivation level is so low, but his ranking is so high. He is a sitting duck. Everyone wants to shoot through him and take his place.
However, no one has actually put it into practice yet. After all, the first person to die on the arena was killed by Xiu Qiyu. It is said that he killed more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators and more than thirty Core Formation cultivators in the secret realm by himself. He is a veritable killing machine. In order to live a few more days, it is better not to provoke this freak.
However, everyone secretly hoped that a prodigy would come soon and give Xiu Qiyu a good slap in the face! Whether the Heavenly Dao truly heard everyone's wishes or not, finally a fearless warrior came to challenge Xiu Qiyu.
This warrior is none other than Master Zishu of the Pill King Palace! Congratulations! It seems there's some internal conflict within the Pill King Palace; they're already causing trouble during the ranking competition. I wonder what the Palace Master is thinking.
Jing Li's lips curled into a cold smile: "What do you think about me bullying Xiu Qiyu and teaching her a lesson later?"
Zhan Changtian pretended not to hear anything at this moment: "Challenge opportunities are not many after all, so there is no need to waste them on Xiu Qiyu. Besides, his ranking is already lower than yours. Even if you beat him up, there will be no benefit." Lord Palace Master, your Danwang Palace must be united and friendly. You must not fight among yourselves.
Yu Kou chuckled: "What are you saying, Brother Zhan? Right now, the only person who is higher than the Palace Master is you. Are you implying that the Palace Master should challenge you?"
Zhan Changtian: QAQ! I really didn't mean that! How did the flames of war end up in my own backyard without me even noticing? Zhan Changtian decided that silence was golden. Let the Pill King Palace do whatever they want!
"Perhaps Zishu alone could take care of Xiu Qiyu, without even needing the Palace Master to intervene."
This is said without the slightest blush or heartbeat. Zishu, an alchemist, is challenging Xiu Qiyu, a swordsman. The two are not even on the same level. No matter how you look at it, Zishu is more likely to lose.
This battle has aroused confusion and curiosity among many people. Is the Pill King Palace trying to stir up trouble, or does Zishu simply dislike Xiu Qiyu and want to challenge him?
"My idol, oh no, both of them are my idols, I really don't know what to say."
"Xiu Qiyu, I hope you will go easy on him and not beat Master Zishu too badly."
"Even if Xiu Qiyu wins, it will be an unfair victory."
"Why would Master Zishu be so suicidal?"
"I am very worried for Master Zishu Dan."
"This is going to be a very exciting battle. I'm looking forward to it."
"Hmph, who knows, Xiu Qiyu might be knocked out by Alchemist Zishu the moment he steps in?"
"I don't think Master Zishu would do that." Deeply uncertain, if he didn't do it, would he wait for Xiu Qiyu to unleash a barrage of ten thousand swords, leaving Zishu no chance to release the poison?
Ye Xiruo covered her face. Senior Brother couldn't hold back any longer. He hadn't challenged Brother Xiu Qi for over a month. Was he eager to see the difference between the two of them or did he have some trump card that could turn the tide of battle?
Si Hao and Hua Rong were also baffled; how could things have suddenly turned into internal strife?
Ye Liusha held his sword in his arms, looking at Zishu with admiration, having done what he had wanted to do but had not been able to.
"Senior Brother, please enlighten me." Xiu Qiyu had a faint smile on his face, and the two looked like long-lost friends, without any atmosphere of impending battle.
"It's been a long time, Senior Xiu Qi." Zi Shu deliberately emphasized the word "senior," clearly implying that he thought Xiu Qi Yu was too old.
"Senior Brother, you're too kind. What shall we spar with today?"
"The usual rules." The words had barely left his lips when the two figures clashed violently. They really did start fighting without a second thought.
Many people outside were already excitedly waving their small flags, cheering for Xiu Qiyu or Zishu. Others were quietly observing Jing Li's expression. "Is the Palace Master aware of how ruthless his eldest disciple is?"
In the blink of an eye, Zishu and Xiu Qiyu exchanged dozens of blows. Both were incredibly fast, their movements almost imperceptible as two white figures clashed repeatedly. Ye Liusha's eyes narrowed. Xiu Qiyu's swordsmanship was excellent, but he hadn't expected Zishu to possess such astonishing swordsmanship besides Taishang. Ye Liusha quickly became engrossed in the battle between the two.
Xiu Qiyu automatically suppressed his power to the same level as Zishu, reaching the half-step Nascent Soul realm. Zishu snorted coldly. This further strengthened his determination to achieve the Nascent Soul realm.
Zishu and Xiu Qiyu had fought countless times and were extremely familiar with each other's moves and reactions. Therefore, their techniques were constantly changing, and for the time being, they were evenly matched. However, if this continued, it was hard to say what would happen.
Jing Li glanced at the fight between the two and then closed his eyes to rest. In his opinion, the two were just looking for trouble, and he was very familiar with this routine.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the leader will undoubtedly be defeated within a thousand moves.
Sure enough, after about eight hundred moves, the two white figures separated.
"Senior Brother, we're probably about to lose." Ye Xiruo's assessment was the same as Jing Li's.
"The eldest brother hasn't poisoned it yet."
"It's no use even if I vote." Ye Xiruo was very confident.
