"What's wrong with Shi Xuan? She seems to be slacking off."
"Who cares if she's slacking off or not, as long as her spirit pet is useful!"
"Then her combat strength doesn't seem that strong. Winning the one-on-one combat match is probably just luck."
"That's right, she was really lucky. All the opponents she picked were particularly weak. She almost lost to Fan Mingzhu in the end, but she managed to turn the tide with the Ice Soul Sword."
"That's right, without the Ice Soul Sword, she would have undoubtedly lost!"
...
Shi Xuan couldn't hear their discussions, and even if he did, he would pretend not to.
She remained elusive, maneuvering and occasionally stabbing with her sword.
Just moments ago, she was moving with perfect control and coordinating perfectly with the Seven Kill Formation, but the moment the red-haired guy joined in, her demeanor completely changed.
The battle between Red Hair and the Purple Flame Lion was fierce, but the Purple Flame Lion seemed to have the upper hand. Red Hair's attack power was insufficient, but its defense made up for it, and the Purple Flame Lion couldn't damage it for the time being. Meanwhile, the Seven Kill Formation took advantage of the Purple Flame Lion's attention being focused on Red Hair to launch an attack.
The stalemate lasted for a full quarter of an hour. The Seven Kill Formation had some damage to the Purple Flame Demon Lion, but none of it was fatal. The Purple Flame Demon Lion seemed to have seen through their intentions, so it found a red-haired creature to draw its fire while the others attacked from behind.
It grew even angrier. Turning its head, it delivered a heavy blow to the Seven Kill Formation of the Lianfeng Sword Sect.
"Scatter!" Shi Xuan gave the order, and the disciples who formed the Seven Kill Formation immediately scattered in all directions, no longer caring about the formation, and each relied on their own abilities to dodge the heavy blow.
The Purple Flame Demon Lion's large, bell-like eyes fixed on the two disciples running away, and it was about to follow them to continue its attack.
Just then, a red light suddenly appeared around it, and a formation light shone.
In an instant, the Purple Flame Demon Lion felt itself sinking into the mud, its steps became extremely heavy, and it even became difficult to lift its head.
The audience outside the stadium suddenly realized what was going on.
"They're setting up an array!"
"I knew it! With your level of understanding, you can't possibly comprehend my goddess!"
"Didn't anyone notice this formation? It's a Beast Trapping Formation, a fifth-order formation! Shi Xuan just casually created it during the battle like it was a game?"
"Now I'm not surprised at all if anything involves the name Shi Xuan."
"The Beast Trapping Formation uses blood as its medium, so she started planning this from the moment she sent the Seven Killings Formation to attack the Purple Flame Demon Lion? Although it didn't hit any vital organs, the blood that flowed out was enough for her to use as the medium for this formation! So powerful!"
...
Quan Xing of the Luoyin Sect moved to Shi Mingxiu's side, put his arm around him, and laughed, "Look, Shi Xuan is always asking you for favors. She's going to empty your savings. You must be very troubled."
Shi Mingxiu knew what he was up to just by looking at him, and snorted: "It is indeed troublesome, but you don't need to share my burden if you want. I can bear such a troublesome thing by myself!"
In the secret realm, the Purple Flame Demon Lion, its movements restricted, became even more agitated. It struggled and roared louder and louder.
Just as it roared at its loudest and opened its mouth to its widest point, Shi Xuan suddenly flew to its front on his sword and threw a pill into its mouth. At the same time, the red-haired lion slapped the belly of the Purple Flame Demon Lion, causing it to shrink and swallow the pill in one gulp.
Then a muffled thud was heard, and the Purple Flame Demon Lion's eyes suddenly widened. It opened its mouth and spat out a large pool of blood. The blood was mixed with fragments of internal organs and looked very thick.
What Shi Xuan put into its mouth was a potent explosive pill, the kind with additional effects.
The explosive pill, capable of flattening a mountain, exploded directly inside the Purple Flame Demon Lion's belly. All the energy from the explosion was concentrated within its body, causing unimaginable damage.
Even if it were still trapped in the beast-trapping formation and unable to move freely, it would still be unable to survive after being hit by this powerful explosive pill inside its body.
It staggered a few steps and fell to the ground with a "thud," injured and unable to move normally.
Now!
"Strike while the iron is hot." Without hesitation, Shi Xuan rushed forward, drew his sword, and plunged it into the heart.
Under the combined attack of formations, spirit pets, elixirs, and swordsmanship, the Purple Flame Demon Lion was finally killed.
Even as it closed its eyes, it couldn't believe that it had died at the hands of such a swarm of ants.
The disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect cheered excitedly as the Purple Flame Demon Lion finally died under Shi Xuan's sword.
Gu Liangce said in disbelief, "I can't believe this is real. Did we really kill an eighth-tier demon beast?"
"Of course!" Lu Wenxing said proudly, puffing out his chest. "I deserve a lot of credit for killing this Purple Flame Demon Lion."
Considering his past contributions, this is indeed a significant one. Compared to his previous role as a mere background character, at least he was involved in the battle this time.
Shi Xuan calculated the scores of the eighth-level demon beast: "Level one is one point, level two is two points, level three is four points, level four is eight points... If we double the score each time, level eight should be one hundred and twenty-eight points."
"Wow, 128 points!" Lu Wenxing was extremely excited. "I can get so many points just for killing a monster!"
Shi Xuan gave him a helpless sidelong glance and said, "One level eight demon beast only gets 128 points. The effort we expend could have killed more than 128 level one demon beasts. This scoring system is unreasonable. It's more suitable to fight the lower-level demon beasts. Anyone who wants to win should just fight the low-level demon beasts. It's meaningless."
After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it was indeed the case. Fighting level one demonic beasts was as easy as slicing vegetables. But defeating a level eight demonic beast was a death sentence; the danger level was at its maximum. Even offering 1280 yuan might not be worthwhile.
When the sect leaders outside heard Shi Xuan's complaints inside, they thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. If the scores for high-level demonic beasts were not appropriate, the Six Sects Grand Competition would lose its meaning. They were not encouraging their disciples to bully low-level demonic beasts every day!
After discussing it, the five sect leaders decided to revise the scoring rules starting from the next Six Sects Grand Competition, increasing the score for high-level demonic beasts, and making sure that the disciples would fight high-level demonic beasts!
Thus, Shi Xuan set another record, because her words changed the scoring rules of the Six Great Competitions, which had been in place for hundreds of years...
The audience outside erupted in cheers the moment the Purple Flame Lion fell to the ground!
"Wow! I can't believe it!"
"She really puts her knowledge to practical use. The team's formation, the members' pills, talismans, and equipment, the ingenious use of spirit pets, the beast-trapping formation used against the Purple Flame Demon Lion... she has everything!"
"It's so great to be in the same group as Shi Xuan. I want to be in the same group as Shi Xuan too."
"I will never comment on what Shi Xuan does again. I've been proven wrong. Every time I predict something bad will turn out to be wrong."
"Then just guess the opposite, anyway, whatever my goddess does is right! Ah, I've blindly believed her!"
