The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The entire room remained silent for a long time, and no one spoke.

They watched everything unfold on the ring in silence.

As Chi Miao released the Heavenly Sword, the force dissipated, but Wenren Yi remained kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with fear, showing no other emotion.

then.

A tear of blood fell from his eye.

"I...lost?"

With a slight movement of his lips, Wenren Yi would no longer be associated with the title "prodigy".

What is a prodigy?

With an air of supreme arrogance, he became arrogant and domineering towards the world.

Having talent but lacking the ability to adapt and be flexible, even the ambition to dominate the world is nothing but an empty shell.

Chi Miao didn't look at him again, because Wenren Yi was no longer worthy of being her equal.

It's not about winning or losing, but about mindset.

She stepped off the ring, and all eyes followed her.

Finally, someone muttered, "Pervert."

Chi Miao is really, he's abnormally strong.

She defeated Wenren Yi, who was a whole realm above her, and even replicated his Golden Core technique. If she hadn't stopped in time, Wenren Yi would probably have died on the spot.

Chi Miao said nothing, left the spot, and walked straight towards Jingxin Hall.

Rong Xuanji quickly chased after her.

The Mirror Spirit also quickly followed along with its short legs.

"Mommy, wait for me!!"

Everyone was stunned: "Such a perfect opportunity to show off, and she didn't even try?!"

This doesn't make sense!

Could it be that Chi Miao is deeply remorseful because he ruined a promising young talent?

She's so kind!

"I'll go check on her." Jin Shengfei looked at Chi Miao's retreating figure and was about to follow her.

Ying Wuhuo pulled him back, pursing her lips as she said, "I'm afraid her own feelings are also complicated."

"Besides, Rong Xuanji is also here; she won't let Chi Miao do anything foolish."

Yu Wuxin also said, "Yes, there were so many remarkable aspects to today's battle; it didn't seem like a battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators at all."

"Chi Miao... is still too kind."

What an overly kind little girl.

Only Jingming looked at Wenren Yi on the stage.

He calmly pronounced Wenren Yi's fate.

"He's ruined."

From the moment Wenren Yi took the Breakthrough Pill, he was utterly defeated.

He has completely lost his pride and ambition, his Dao heart is shattered, and even if there is a way to repair his foundation in the future, he will never be able to break through the shadow of today and will be stuck for life.

Some people feel sorry, while others are worried.

"Isn't this too cruel to him?"

At this moment, Master Puning spoke: "There are countless geniuses in the world, but how many can eventually grow into great masters? What he has encountered today is not even a fraction as cruel as the world itself. Even if he doesn't fall here, he will fall somewhere else."

"The cultivation world shows no mercy to any self-immolating prodigy; it's merely drawing a circle around their head and imprisoning them."

"That concludes today's business. Everyone, please assemble as usual tomorrow and prepare to face your trials."

Then, he glanced at the Heavenly Sword Sect again.

The people of the Heavenly Sword Sect hesitated, angry but unsure how to speak.

Master Puning said, "If you still want an explanation, quickly take him back to your sect."

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect hesitated for a while before finally relaxing with a sense of resignation.

"Yes."

……

Chi Miao returned to Jingxin Hall and went to her room, where she sat cross-legged.

After a long silence, the Gou Shi System finally spoke: "Your excellent comprehension has leveled up."

Chi Miao: "I know."

After forming a contract with a Mirror Spirit, combined with her Golden Eyes, the combined observational abilities of the two allowed her to better analyze data during battle.

Previously, she could only learn, but now she can incorporate her own ideas into what she learns, upgrading her original "good comprehension" to "unparalleled comprehension".

[Unparalleled Comprehension: Unmatched comprehension, developed through the host's self-cultivation and contemplation.]

The Gou Shi system exclaimed, "You're really amazing. You managed to improve these things on your own without relying on what the system gave you."

Chi Miao: "Mm."

Gou Shi System: "Chi Miao, you're really famous now. You must pay attention to your words and actions. Don't let people think you're a good girl. You don't know how many eyes are watching you, waiting for you to go astray. I know you're a shameless little girl, and I hope you can keep that shamelessness, but you also need to lower your standards, be lenient with yourself, and play the disgusting role of a shameless person. Only then can you go further. Do you understand?"

Chi Miao: "Mm."

Gou Shi System: "...I don't want to hear 'uh-huh,' I'm encouraging you!"

She: "Oh."

Hold! ! !

You're just replying randomly after I've read your message?!

The Gou Shi System: "So, can't you pull yourself together? This isn't like you! Chi Miao, all you love is showing off! Getting slapped in the face! You have no manners! You're not the type to reflect on yourself! Besides, that's Wenren Yi's problem, you don't need to reflect on it! You're degrading yourself!"

Chi Miao: "???"

Gou Shi System: "In short, your quality needs to be lowered."

Chi Miao looked even more puzzled: "No... you don't actually think I came back because of Wenren Yi, do you?"

"Do you see me as a saintly little girl?"

Gou Shi System: "Huh? Really? Um... not really... um... it's hard to judge. I think you're a particularly shameless and despicable little girl."

Chi Miao: "Yeah, how could I possibly blame myself for that idiot's own problem?"

Gou Shi System: "???"

You can't figure it out? That's not why. What is it because of?

Chi Miao pursed her lips, her face displaying a polite yet smiling expression.

She still held the Weeping Sword in her hand, raising it to her chest.

Rong Xuanji and the Mirror Spirit burst through the door.

"Don't do anything stupid!!!"

Rong Xuanji quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chi Miao's hand, snatched her Weeping Sword, and threw it hard to the ground!

She hugged Chi Miao: "Don't give up on yourself because of a good-for-nothing! It's not your fault that he's useless; it's just that he's fragile, sensitive, vulnerable, and incompetent. Don't do anything foolish!"

The Weeping Sword: "?"

What did I do wrong, Jianjian?

Jingling, her little face flushed from crying, cautiously hugged Chi Miao's waist, saying, "Mother... Jingling doesn't want you to die! Jingling doesn't want to be a dead mother's thing! A child with a mother is a treasure, and I want to be your little baby!"

Gou Shi System: "???"

"Your daughter is quite talented, oh no... a real talent."

Chi Miao: "???"

She was the most confused.

"When did I say I was going to die? Who gave you that impression?"

Rong Xuanji: "You're already holding the Weeping Sword and about to stab yourself!"

The Weeping Sword, enraged, slashed at Rong Xuanji's head with its blade: "How dare you! Do you think I'm some kind of useless sword without any sense of propriety? If my master really wanted to use me to commit suicide, would I not stop him? Apologize to me!"

Rong Xuanji: "...?"

She glanced at the Weeping Sword, then at Chi Miao.

He looked shocked.

Chi Miao: "Uh, yes, the Weeping Sword is also a very spiritual thing."

Especially after raising her for so long and unlocking the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" skill.

The Weeping Sword can be described as a burst of spiritual energy.

The Weeping Sword grew even more arrogant: "Hurry up and apologize to me!"

"You're pushing your luck!" Then Chi Miao grabbed it and slammed it hard to the ground!

Rong Xuanji: "??!!"

This is the Weeping Sword!

The Weeping Sword: "So satisfying... Master, you made me feel so good throwing me!"

Rong Xuanji: "?"

The Mirror Spirit stared longingly at the Weeping Sword, biting her finger: "So envious..."

Rong Xuanji: "???"

Are you two crazy? You're both such cheapskates!

Once is an accident, twice...

Perhaps it's because of the owner?

Rong Xuanji looked at Chi Miao.

Chi Miao: "Don't look at me, I didn't do it, I'm innocent, it's just that they're naturally adoring."

Rong Xuanji: "Well... alright then, but since you weren't planning to commit suicide, why did you come back without saying a word?"

"So that's what you wanted to ask. Well... I just had a brief epiphany after typing that!"

Rong Xuanji: "???"
