The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

"Um?"

Wu Ling looked at Luo Li, who had stepped onto the battlefield before them, and felt somewhat annoyed. "Is Ji Xuan that popular? Are there any other people who want to fight him?"

"Uh...it seems not. They have a grudge against each other, but as for Luo Li, her cultivation level seems to be lower than Ji Xuan's." Qinghe stopped and looked at the almost frozen battle stage, and said.

"Let's wait a bit then."

"Perhaps we won't have a chance to play either. I worked with her briefly once before, so I know her personality a little. She clearly wants to fight Ji Xuan to the death."

"..."

"Let's watch from below the stage and see how others fight," Yun Mo said, bringing Wu Yingying with him as they approached the area and observed the two on the battle platform.

At this moment, Ji Xuan, dressed in white robes, looked at Luo Li's beautiful face and revealed his signature smile, his eyes gentle.

"Actually, I knew from the beginning that as soon as I stepped onto the battle stage, you would immediately follow, so I hesitated a bit. But after thinking it over, the matter of the Spirit Road really should have an ending."

Luo Li remained indifferent, offering no reply. She simply raised the Luo Shen Sword in her hand slowly, releasing the surrounding spiritual energy.

After the trial participants received the spiritual energy infusion, their storage rings or other storage tools could be used again. Luo Li's Luo Shen Sword, as her current weapon, was also able to exert some of its power.

But Ji Xuan didn't seem to care about Luo Li's indifference and hostility, and continued to say to himself: "In the Spiritual Path, we don't care about the process, we only care about the result. Anything that can be used will be an aid to the Spiritual Path, and that is also one's own strength."

He was expelled from the Spirit Path; this was his ultimate fate, and it only shows his lack of strength. In our confrontation here, he could only admit defeat.

"Oh……"

A hint of coldness appeared on Luo Li's exquisite face. She no longer wanted to listen to these pointless words. Instead, she unleashed a dazzling azure sword light from the Luo Shen Sword in her hand, her delicate body flashing as she thrust it straight towards Ji Xuan's face.

At this moment, the terrifying sword intent enveloped the entire battle stage, making the surrounding spiritual energy seem to transform into boundless sword energy, icy and bone-chilling.

As he watched her thrust the longsword toward him, Ji Xuan sighed, a flash of ferocity crossing his eyes, his once gentle face now clouded with gloom.

A long spear appeared in his hand, and behind it, a dazzling holy light condensed, like a holy sun, illuminating the entire battle stage and dissolving the azure sword energy.

At the same time, the spear flashed in his hand, merging into one amidst a series of illusions, and thrusting towards the tip of the Luoshen Sword.

"bite……"

At this moment, the spear tip and the sword tip collided precisely, and the sword intent and spear intent suddenly burst forth, causing the point where the two weapons touched to freeze instantly, and the spiritual energy to form ripples that spread throughout the entire battle arena.

The ripples made the people below the stage shudder. They realized that if they were to face these two, they might not be able to withstand even a single sword strike and spear thrust.

"It's a pity that Luo Li's cultivation level is still a notch below Ji Xuan's, and she's slightly at a disadvantage." Wu Ling frowned, watching the two fight, and sighed.

"Where did Ji Xuan get so many opportunities? After we robbed him once, he was still able to break through to the peak of the Fusion Realm!" Wu Yingying said with some resentment.

"I don't know, but even if Ji Xuan is at the peak of the Fusion Realm, Luo Li might not necessarily lose to him," Qinghe said calmly.

That girl was actually very determined, and her inner strength was probably something even he was somewhat ashamed of. Even though they had only worked together briefly, that was his impression of her.

Similarly, the trainees below the stage were sighing with admiration, and even the elders of the five major academies had their eyes shining with shrewdness. They also needed to find a way to guide these two true prodigies into their academies.

Ji Xuan may already be a member of the Holy Spirit Academy, but Luo Li definitely still has a way.

"We need to protect these two. Although the Mirror of Judgment is watching over them on the battle platform and their lives are not in danger, if they suffer any serious injuries, it will still have some impact on their cultivation," Dean Taicang said.

"That's right, their exchanges aren't just casual sparring; we need to keep a close eye on them." Martial King of the Martial Spirit Academy nodded as he watched the increasingly intense battle.

"clang!"

The two figures on the battle platform flashed faster and faster, even leaving afterimages. Each collision caused the sword energy and spear light to surge violently, making the entire battle platform seem to have suffered a devastating blow, with sword marks and spear marks everywhere.

"Stop, you are no match for me." Ji Xuan raised the tip of his spear, and the Holy Sun behind him fell, seemingly about to smash into the blade of the Luoshen Sword.

Luo Li gazed calmly at the setting sun, simply raising the Luo Shen Sword upright and flicking it with her jade hand, causing the sword to ring out.

She looked at the Luo Shen Sword, smiled slightly, and softly said, "The first seal is broken!"

"The Sword Technique of the Goddess of the Luo River, the Sword Shadow of the Luo River!"

At this moment, the Luoshen Sword slowly awakened its spirit and showed joy to Luo Li in a human-like manner.

At that moment, azure sword energy burst forth, making the entire battle stage seem like a long river of illusion. The sword energy that had been permeating the void seemed to have come back to life, like tiny fish swimming among them.

"go!"

As soon as the word was uttered, the sword energy suddenly became fierce, each blade radiating a terrifying aura as it shot towards Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan lowered his eyelids, gritted his teeth and stared intently at the sword energy. In the end, he could only take a deep breath and make a hand seal, causing the holy light to shine again.

As he moved, the spiritual energy within his body circulated rapidly, and more and more runes appeared around him. These runes were arranged in a regular pattern, forming a halo of light that was even more terrifying than before, dazzling the heavens and earth.

"Holy Light, Holy Wheel!"

A low shout rang out, and the halo of light appeared like a blot out the sky.

Ji Xuan slowly extended his palm, striking the halo with it, meeting the incoming azure sword energy.

"boom!"

The two terrifying forces clashed head-on, ultimately resulting in the most intense collision in the world, shocking everyone present.

Even more shockingly, the other battle platforms all stopped their fights and stared in the direction of Ji Xuan and Luo Li, utterly astonished.

No one could have imagined that they could unleash such power; ordinary cultivators at the Fusion Realm would likely be unable to withstand it.

Furthermore, it should be noted that they are not yet at their full strength. At least they have not yet refined their own spirit beast essence. After digesting the results of this spiritual path's empowerment, to what extent will they improve?

"It's unimaginable that their foundations are so deep. Ji Xuan and Luo Li truly deserve to be among the top figures on the Spiritual Road," someone murmured.

"The gap between me and them is like heaven and earth; I no longer dare to consider myself a so-called chosen one..."

"What was their result? It seems the dean interfered."

"I'm not entirely sure about that, but after this experience, I will definitely be more vigilant."

Everyone was moved and sighed, including Yun Mo.

"So strong, I'm no match for him."

Wu Yingying looked somewhat dejected. She had thought that she had also reached the peak of Rongtian, and apart from the few people around her, no one would be her match. However, she found that the reality was not as she had expected.

"Heh, even the young lady of the Martial Spirit Academy has a day when she has to bow her head?" Yun Mo turned to look at her dejected expression and couldn't help but smile.

The first time, Wu Yingying simply rolled her eyes and didn't argue.

"It was a lose-lose situation, but the two deans protected them at the last moment," Qinghe said in a low voice.

"They are indeed very strong. It seems that we still need to continue our arduous training after we return." Wu Ling was also somewhat shaken. He thought that if he were to face Ji Xuan and Luo Li, he might be able to win, but that would definitely be a fight to the death.

"Then the next step is to determine the Spirit Crown Holder and the King..."
