"No need." Xu Yuehuai firmly rejected Mei Ming's attempt to show her kindness. "I'll just take some pills."
Healing is very taxing on spiritual energy, and it's a personal battle. Xu Yuehuai didn't want his favor, and it wouldn't be appropriate to get along with him in the future. Besides, there were so many sacred beasts to come, and she didn't want to be indebted to him.
Mei Mingxiang said with a serious expression, "I still need to rely on you. If it weren't for you this time, I probably wouldn't have been able to find the place to pass the first level. In the end, it's all thanks to you. The later levels will definitely get harder and harder. I definitely can't get through this place by myself."
After Mei Ming finished speaking, he pressed down on her shoulder, "That's why I need you, and what I'm doing is so that I can rely on you better here."
This reason was hard to refuse. If no one healed Xu Yuehuai's body, her recovery would be very slow, which would be detrimental to her later battles. She did not continue to refuse. Since Mei Ming had already put it this way, what was there to refuse?
Mei Ming sat behind her, a stream of green spiritual energy flowing from his palm into Xu Yuehuai's body. Xu Yuehuai could clearly feel her body gradually improving.
The sect leader Zhan, who was watching this scene from the outside, snorted coldly. He wished Xu Yuehuai would die, so when he saw Xu Yuehuai being rescued, he had an unfriendly look on his face. "It seems that no one has realized that this is a game of individual combat yet. They still have the mind to care about others. They are so affectionate now. I want to see how they will get along when they are in danger of losing themselves."
"Besides, this guy didn't even know to choose a strong one to cling to. He chose Xu Yuehuai, who is so badly injured. Isn't he just pushing himself to his death?"
Sect Leader Zhan spoke some self-righteous truths from the side, and the others did not respond. Zi Sangyi said angrily, "In any case, he is much better than you, Zhan Qi, right? Zhan Qi can even abandon his own teammates to protect himself."
Just as Xu Yuehuai and his group passed the first test, the others also encountered their first wave of difficulties. Everyone was discussing how to overcome this challenge. The fire-attribute meat was forced to step forward and refine the area above their heads. Those who disagreed were all locked up and confined to a corner.
After being refined, the gold turned into liquid and dripped onto the heads of those with fire attributes. In order to be the first to get out, Zhan Qi stood very close to those with fire attributes. So when the scalding metal was about to hit him, he did not hesitate to pull another person standing next to him to shield him from the blow.
The man's body was covered in molten metal, while Zhan Qi stood beneath him unharmed. The people around him looked at him with strange eyes, and Qian Qiqi bluntly said, "Zhan Qi, what you've done is unforgivable! Using a fellow disciple's body to shield you from all this, do you even have a heart?"
"Heart? There are no fellow disciples here, only enemies. They were too weak, so I killed them. How can you blame me?" Zhan Qi smiled maliciously, a strange smile on his face.
Qian Qiqi looked at Zhan Qi with disgust. "These are all human lives. The competition rules prohibit harming disciples' lives. What are you doing now! You've violated the competition rules. Do you know the consequences?"
"Competition rules? Harming lives? Which eye of yours saw me harm someone's life? Wasn't this accidental injury? What does it have to do with me!" Zhan Qi spread his hands, his eyes filled with helplessness and innocence. Qian Qiqi watched from the side, her eyes slightly narrowed.
"Do you think you can survive here after doing this? Everyone will see you as an enemy, everyone will be wary of you. What will you use to continue to survive here?" Qian Qiqi was unusually serious, and her eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at the man in front of her.
Zhan Qi said nonchalantly, "Only the weak band together; the strong are always independent."
...
The trouble caused by Zhan Qi is huge. The people of Wanzhang Sect want to stay away from Zhan Qi, but they are worried that Zhan Qi will use this method to threaten them. They are in a dilemma. However, everyone except the people of Wanzhang Sect stays far away.
Outside, Sect Master Yan and Zi Sangyi finally found a place to mock them. They sneered and said, "Look at this. This is the kind of people cultivated by the Wanzhang Sect. They don't value life and use this method to isolate everyone. This is what the Wanzhang Sect is like."
When Zisangyi said her last sentence, she even drew out the last syllable, which was indeed unreasonable according to the rules. However, Elder Ying behind the scenes wanted to keep Zhan Qi. Although Zhan Qi's strength was not the strongest among them, his spiritual root was also quite good, making him the best choice to put him in the ruins.
Elder Ying colluded with the ancient clan to cover up the matter. Since the ancient clan members did not speak up, none of the judges dared to be the first to speak out.
Zi Sangyi did not speak out because he was considering Xu Yuehuai and the others. For the ancient clan to protect them so much, no one would believe that there was no relationship between them. If he stood up to refute them at this time, wouldn't he be walking into a trap and giving the ancient clan a handle to target his Qingtao Valley?
Everyone understood the situation, so they could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.
On Xu Yuehuai's side, after Mei Ming finished healing her, he was extremely weak. He sat on the ground, panting heavily, "As expected, the body of a great god is different. If it weren't for this, my own strength alone would not be enough."
Xu Yuehuai felt much better. She performed a cleansing spell to make herself cleaner. Then she took out some high-quality healing pills from her spatial storage and handed one to Mei Ming. Mei Ming had been injured inside and was extremely weak after healing Xu Yuehuai.
After feeding it to Mei Ming, she ate one herself. After doing all this, two more people came out, namely Baili Xiuwen and Fu Ziyi. Baili Xiuwen's skills were of the support type, so it took him some time to fight the sacred beast.
Fu Ziyi's skills can only be fully utilized when combined with Baili Xiuwen's. When the two are separated, they can only exert more than half of their abilities, which is why they were delayed for so long inside.
"What's going on here?" Fu Ziyi asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes when he saw Xu Yuehuai and Mei Ming sitting on the ground.
