No, her intuition told her that Feng Ling'er was up to something again!
At that moment, Fu Yan's voice announcing the results on the stage pulled her back to reality.
"The Array Master of the Profound Realm wins."
The next match features contestant number four, Shangguan Qing from the Beast Taming Sect and Qi Tong from the Pill Sect.
Feeling a slight warmth on her wrist, Ji Jiuying's gaze fell on the high platform. Although she couldn't see his eyes behind the mask, she could clearly feel that he was looking at her.
[Ah Yue, what's wrong?]
I want to hug you.
Ji Jiuying: ? ? ?
If you're bored, you can go back now.
Watching Jiu'er is never boring.
Suddenly, Ji Jiuying frowned, a sharp pain shot through her chest, and she let out a painful whimper.
The air in the arena suddenly became oppressive, and the temperature dropped sharply. Ji Jiuying endured the pain in her chest and sent a telepathic message to Gong Mingyue.
"Ah Yue, I'm fine, I just suddenly felt a pang of anxiety."
Gong Mingyue then suppressed the urge to go forward and find her. Si Yu looked at Ji Jiuying and found that she was surrounded by a layer of murderous aura that others could not see.
"Something's not right. The little beauty has suddenly developed a lot of malevolent energy."
Upon hearing Si Yu's words, Gong Mingyue frowned. Why was there this sudden, inexplicable aura of menace emanating from Jiu'er? Si Yu again...
He said, "Don't worry, we'll stay here and keep watch."
Hei Xiangling also sensed something, and stood up abruptly, looking at Ji Jiuying with a worried expression. Bai Lisha and Hua Li looked at Hei Xiangling in confusion, "What's wrong, Sister Xiangling?"
"It's Jiu'er, she..."
Thinking of something, Hei Xiangling didn't say it out loud. The two looked at Ji Jiuying and saw that her face was indeed a little pale.
"What happened to Xiao Jiu?"
"N-nothing." Hei Xiangling sat down, her worry written all over her face.
Xiao Yichen, who had been watching her every move, followed her gaze and looked at Ji Jiuying. What was wrong with this little girl? Why was her face so pale?
Ji Jiuying unconsciously covered her chest with her hand, her eyes filled with confusion. What was going on? Why did she suddenly feel flustered and uneasy?
Feng Yu noticed that her forehead was covered in cold sweat and her face had turned deathly pale. Sensing that something was wrong with her, he quickly moved closer.
"Cousin Lanxi, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Upon hearing Feng Yu's words, Xuan Jing's gaze fell upon her, and she frowned.
"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a rest."
Seeing that she insisted, Feng Yu didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Gong Mingyue's voice echoed in my mind.
"Jiu'er, let's leave here!"
"Ah Yue, no, I absolutely must go to the Blue Star's library."
"It's just the library; I can take you in."
【Ah Yue, are you a robber?】
······
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ji Jiuying was much better, but for some reason she still felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Soon it was time for Ji Jiuying and Feng Yu to fight.
"Are you still able to fight?"
Feng Yu looked at her and asked.
Ji Jiuying nodded: "Let's begin."
A sword with alternating red and blue hues appeared in Ji Jiuying's hand, its blade gleaming with a cold light. Her clear eyes remained calm and undisturbed. In an instant, the two figures intertwined, moving with lightning speed. All the onlookers could hear was the incessant clang of weapons clashing.
Her swordsmanship was expansive and powerful, but Feng Yu's brows were furrowed; she seemed to be in a hurry.
Just then, Ji Jiuying's sword moved like a whirlwind, pressing forward step by step. Feng Yu barely managed to dodge to the side, but his arm was still cut by the blade. Just as he was about to react, a cold light struck his throat and stopped one centimeter away from it.
The fierce battle ended in an instant; the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Feng Yu was defeated, defeated without warning.
Although I had already guessed the outcome, I still felt a bit more admiration for her swordsmanship.
The top five have been determined; now it's time to compete for the top three.
Unlike before, everyone faces fierce battles against four other opponents. The top spot in the ladder belongs to the person who defeats the most opponents. However, if two people have the same score, they will face off again to determine the winner.
At this moment, the entire scene was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, anticipating the outcome of this ultimate battle.
"Alright, now comes the most tense moment: competing for the top three."
"This time we're not going by order, so which of the five contestants wants to start the first round?"
Ji Jiuying glanced at Xuan Jing, "Interested in playing the first match with me?"
Xuanjing looked at her and said, "Okay."
The two of them leaped onto the arena, and the crowd erupted in cheers once again.
"I didn't realize that Lanxi, with her small stature, was so strong."
"Yes, judging from the situation, even the eldest senior sister and the second senior brother might not be her match."
"Although she is quite capable, aren't you overestimating her a bit?"
"Whether it's an overestimation or not, we'll find out by taking a gamble, won't we?"
"······"
While a fierce battle raged on the field, chaos reigned off the field. Someone shouted "Place your bets now!" and everyone took out their money, magical treasures, and beast cores to place their bets.
"I bet Blue Creek will be number one."
"I'll bet on the Mysterious Realm."
"I'm also betting on Blue Creek..."
"I have high hopes for Yao Guanglin."
"Shangguan Qing is not bad either."
"Nobody thinks Bai Luoshuang is a good candidate? Then I'll bet on her to win."
"······"
Among them, the most people who won the Du Xuanjing were Yao Guanglin, Lan Xi, Shangguan Qing, and Bai Luoshuang.
On the arena, neither of them used any magical weapons, but instead continuously unleashed their spiritual techniques, launching fierce attacks on each other, creating a tense and intense atmosphere.
Without the aid of weapons, the two men's hands moved swiftly like phantoms, constantly releasing spiritual techniques. Various colors of light intertwined, and the entire arena emitted dazzling yet deadly light waves.
At this moment, there are no friends on the stage, only opponents.
Xuanjing's every move was accompanied by a fierce aura, striking like a storm.
Ji Jiuying moved nimbly, lightly and strangely, weaving between attacks like a ghost. Her steps were as steady as Mount Tai, and she protected herself with powerful spiritual energy. Her counterattacks were as powerful as thunder. Her spiritual skills transformed into fierce flames and sharp sword beams in her hands, whistling towards her opponent.
Their attacks crisscrossed like meteors, colliding and creating dazzling sparks. Their figures flickered across the arena, sometimes engaging in close combat, sometimes creating distance to unleash ranged attacks, pushing the atmosphere of the match to a climax.
"Junior Sister Lan, you absolutely have to win! I've staked all my savings on getting married."
"What's this? I've staked everything I own on her."
"You two are incredibly bold!"
"Stop talking, I suddenly feel uncertain." The man was on the verge of tears, blaming himself for acting impulsively on a whim.
Bai Lisha angrily returned to her seat from the crowd, "Done, all bets were placed on Xiao Jiu."
"Not bad, not bad," Hei Xiangling said with a smile.
