Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Completely left out, Bai Xiaobai could only watch the other nine players on the field fighting fiercely with great boredom.

They probably thought she was pitifully weak at the third level of Qi Refining, so these nine people deliberately avoided her during the battle and even reminded her.

"Hey you, move aside, you might get hurt."

"Exactly, with your small frame, if we hurt you, people will say we bullied you."

"You stay here peacefully and wait for us to decide the winner before you concede. The disciples of our Sword Sect are all reasonable people and won't bully a little guy like you who's only at the third level of Qi Refining."

"..."

Bai Xiaobai was surprised that the disciples of the Sword Sect were quite considerate.

It is truly rare to be able to consider others in a competition.

At this moment, she was completely like an outsider, just short of sitting on a small stool, eating sunflower seeds, and watching the game.

Besides her, the other participants in her group are all roughly equal in strength, so it's unrealistic to expect a winner to emerge quickly.

So, feeling utterly bored, she quietly watched the game from the sidelines. Not only did she watch with great interest, but she even offered some comments and suggestions.

"Senior brother, your sword swing was a bit too light."

"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Sister's attack was perfectly timed."

"You've gone wrong! You should attack his lower body; his weakness is there."

"..."

The disciples who heard Bai Xiaobai's suggestion even thanked her.

"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Sister Bai."

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere on the third group's court, the people outside the court felt that Bai Xiaobai should be off the court instead of on the court.

So, is it reasonable for someone at the third level of Qi Refining to give guidance to someone at the twelfth level of Qi Refining?

As the battle dragged on, Bai Xiaobai went from being engrossed in it to having a blank stare.

She didn't know if the other nine people were tired, but she was tired of watching them.

Seeing that the competition wouldn't end anytime soon, she simply found a corner to meditate and cultivate.

She always felt that after that trip into the sea of ​​consciousness, her fourth-level barrier was about to break down.

Soon, everyone noticed that on the third group's competition stage, one side was a fierce battle that was still going on but no clear winner, while on the other side was a small group of people sitting calmly to the side with their eyes closed in meditation.

The two sides do not interfere with each other, forming a strange tacit understanding.

"Do you think the disciples in the third group will just keep fighting like this?"

"Among them, apart from Bai Xiaobai who is at the third level of Qi Refining, the rest are all at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, just lacking an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"I see now. These guys from the Sword Sect want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage by using the pressure of the competition. No wonder they stretched out the battle and everyone used their full strength, yet it was still a draw. So that's what they were planning."

"You know what, all nine of them are evenly matched, and they might actually be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage through this competition. So winning or losing is completely irrelevant to them; these guys just want to use this competition to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Oh no, if that's really the case, then Bai Xiaobai is going to win again without lifting a finger?"

"Absolutely not! I'm betting on her to lose this time too. If she wins by default, then my thousand spirit stones will be wasted again!"

"You only bet a thousand spirit stones, but I bet two thousand. Adding the one thousand from last time, I've already bet a full three thousand spirit stones with Bai Xiaobai. If I bet wrong again this time, I'll really lose a lot of money."

"Bai Xiaobai probably won't be that lucky. You guys must be overthinking it."

"..."

As time passed, the nine players on the field gradually showed signs of fatigue.

Some people have already given up and collapsed one after another.

Although these nine people did indeed want to break through the Foundation Establishment barrier through this competition, their strengths were quite similar, and in the end, none of them broke through.

As their spiritual energy was depleted, more and more people slowly collapsed.

Everyone off the field held their breath, watching every move on the field with bated breath.

When only one person remained standing on the field, everyone thought that the winner of the match would be that person.

Those disciples who continued to bet on Bai Xiaobai's losses finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, to their surprise, Bai Xiaobai, who had been meditating quietly, suddenly burst forth with an astonishingly dazzling golden light.

The only person still standing on the field was knocked off the stage by the enormous impact of the dazzling golden light.

Therefore, the last person left on the stage was Bai Xiaobai.

This change happened so fast that by the time the people outside the arena reacted, they saw the small figure who had been meditating on the field not only floating in mid-air, but also growing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, Bai Xiaobai's strength is also steadily increasing.

"Qi Refinement Level 4? She actually broke through to Qi Refinement Level 4 so easily?"

"No, no, no, a huge amount of spiritual energy is surging towards her, and the spiritual power within her body is still increasing rapidly. This is insane! Every one of us who breaks through doesn't prepare a large number of pills and spirit stones, and then quietly go into seclusion to break through. But she's doing it like a game."

"She's reached the fifth level of Qi Refining! My god, she actually broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining directly!"

"Am I seeing things? This...this is the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

"It's not over yet, it's already the seventh level... the seventh level! Bai Xiaobai has actually broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"Eighth level, you've reached the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"..."

At this moment, not only the ordinary disciples were shocked, but even Li Qingshan and others on the stands were completely dumbfounded.

"Junior Brother Shen...you...that Bai Xiaobai...what kind of miraculous medicine did you give her? How could she...how could she break through to a higher level? This is too exaggerated."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ji smiled faintly.

"There are no miraculous medicines, but I can say that all the disciples of my Xiaoyao Peak are exceptionally talented."

After saying these words, he didn't forget to kindly inquire about Zhou Li, whose face was ashen.

"Sect Master Zhou, you don't look too well. Could it be that your brother's injury is too serious and you are worrying too much? Your brother is a Nascent Soul expert after all. He will just need to go into seclusion for a few more days. Sect Master Zhou, please don't worry."

"You...you...Shen Ji, you know what you've done, stop being sarcastic."

Zhou Li knew that Shen Ji was doing it on purpose, but now he could do nothing but feel angry.

Seeing Zhou Li get the short end of the stick, Li Qingshan felt extremely relieved.

After all, he had been thoroughly annoyed by those arrogant and domineering guys from the Liuyue Sect these past few days.

But what shocked him the most was Bai Xiaobai, the spirit princess who had only recently taken human form. She had only been a disciple of Shen Ji for half a year, yet she had already broken through several barriers.

Even with Shen Ji's excellent teaching, such a rapid breakthrough was still possible.

So if anyone dares to say that the Spirit Realm Princess is a cultivation waste, he'll drag that person to Xiaoyao Peak to take a look.

Who exactly is this good-for-nothing who has made breakthroughs in just a few days?
