Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

On the arena.

The raging crimson flames arrived in an instant.

Zhang Ruoxue's speed wasn't slow to begin with, but under the influence of the Little Thunder Body, Ye Yuchan's speed was surprisingly fast.

Ye Yuchan's reaction speed was astonishing. She saw the trajectory of Zhang Ruoxue's fist and could also judge her every move.

Should you follow an uppercut with a whip kick...?

"Too young."

Ye Yuchan, who was already adept at close combat, had no intention of creating distance from Zhang Ruoxue and then wearing her down with archery—this fighting style, though cheap, was very effective.

However, now that Ye Yuchan is addicted to close combat, she no longer pursues archery or anything like that.

Stepping back with her right leg, her supple waist causing her body to lean slightly backward, Ye Yuchan accurately predicted the trajectory of Zhang Ruoxue's uppercut and, using her own…

No, wait!

A phantom image suddenly appeared on Zhang Ruoxue's right arm. It was the shadow of a fist magnified two or three times, burning with fiery red flames, like a giant mountain, and it slammed directly towards Ye Yuchan.

Ye Yuchan could no longer maintain her previous composure. She activated her Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body and dodged the attack range of the phantom at top speed.

Before she could even regain her balance, the expected whip kick came from her right side.

The fiery red phantom reappeared, and the terrifyingly high temperature of the shadow tripled the attack range of this whip kick!

Ye Yuchan had no choice but to take the hit.

She held the black bow, a magical artifact, horizontally across her right forearm, lowered her center of gravity, and forcefully took the powerful whip kick.

boom!

—A dull sound.

Ye Yuchan's delicate body slid to the left for several meters before finally coming to a stop.

Even so, the tingling sensation in her arm forced her to take Zhang Ruoxue seriously.

"Yu Chan, I told you, don't hold back."

Zhang Ruoxue stood at a distance, choosing not to pursue, but instead gazing at the girl in front of her, her right hand once again held horizontally in front of her.

Visibly, a huge, semi-transparent, fiery red shadow appeared behind her. The shadow looked almost exactly like her, except that its facial features were more blurred, making it impossible to see its true face.

"It was just a bit of a surprise..."

Ye Yuchan regained her balance and covered her chest with her hand.

If I hadn't managed to deflect that blow, I probably would be lying on the ground right now.

Not only has the range been increased, but the power has also been amplified...

That magical artifact is truly powerful.

She grinned, and a flame of fighting spirit finally ignited in her eyes. She quickly drew back the bowstring; this time, she was truly serious.

"Well then, I'd better get serious."

"It should have been done a long time ago."

Zhang Ruoxue assumed a fighting stance, and the phantom behind her made the same move.

Ye Yuchan was determined to hold nothing back; she had already decided that she absolutely could not lose this match.

Fair fingers pressed on the bowstring, and a silver bow, twice as thick as any arrow before, suddenly appeared. Bright runes flashed rapidly on the black bow arm of the magical artifact. This celestial weapon had completed its awakening under the stimulation of spiritual energy, and silver spiritual energy slowly condensed on the bowstring.

The next instant, the fingertips twisted!

Ye Yuchan's fingers twisted the end of the arrow, forcefully twisting the originally taut bowstring a full three times!

The spiraling spiritual energy, twisted and contorted, resembled a bomb that could explode at any moment. The entire arrow throbbed chaotically, its sharp spiritual energy seemingly about to burst apart. Intense instability, accompanied by a piercing sound like a throat being torn apart, erupted from Ye Yuchan's fingertips.

She released the arrow.

In that instant, everything seemed to be swept away by the storm. A raging, spiraling gale swept all the snow around Ye Yuchan into the air. The rapidly spinning arrows of spiritual energy were like a tornado capable of piercing through space and everything, sweeping forward in a straight line.

104. Ye Yuchan, who loves to use her sword.

The surging, turbulent electron vortex spiraled onto the tip of the arrow, resembling a rapidly spinning comet. The massive, turbulent airwaves whipped up by its tail distorted the surrounding air and the fluttering, white snowflakes.

Spiral arrows—thunderous and dazzling.

If the previous battle only aroused Fang Qingzhu's slight curiosity as a Void Realm expert, then the appearance of the spiral arrow at this moment forced her to take the girl named Ye Yuchan seriously.

She is not an idiot. On the contrary, her success is largely due to her talent and aptitude. Fang Qingzhu was not very lucky. Unlike some of the prodigies of the Heavenly Realm, she did not have any strange and wonderful encounters. She relied solely on her talent.

That's why she could see just how difficult it was to control the arrow that spun, twisted, and shot out in a straight line.

How could someone at the peak of the Profound Gate stage control such an unstable, highly condensed spiritual energy?

She didn't even dare to think about it!

Not only her, but even Yun Ping, who was also sitting on the ground, was so frightened by Ye Yuchan's astonishing arrow that he almost fell to the ground.

The old rogue thought he had fully grasped Ye Yuchan's talent and that he would never be amazed by her again. But as it turns out, he was wrong.

Even Lao Yun didn't expect this arrow.

"drink!"

How could Zhang Ruoxue have known about the appearance of this arrow in advance? Standing on the arena, she knew more about the terror of the spiraling arrow than anyone else in the audience. Because of this, she knew very well that she could not withstand it.

The giant's leg, formed from blazing flames, slammed into the earth. Zhang Ruoxue, propelled into the air by the immense recoil, stood in the center of the waves she had created and unleashed a powerful punch in mid-air.

The phantom image simultaneously throws a punch.

Three fiery barriers that instantly rose from the ground blocked the spiral arrow's trajectory. This was also a demonstration of Zhang Ruoxue's control over spiritual energy. From this point of view, her level of control over spiritual energy seemed to be no less than Ye Yuchan's.

The wildly spinning arrows met three impregnable and raging walls of fire—

The collision of the two spiritual energies caused the entire arena to tremble violently.

Endless flames and lightning clashed and burst forth!

This was clearly a battle between two cultivators at the Spirit Palace stage, but the effect was like two Nascent Soul stage experts competing in magical techniques.

Ultimately, the penetrating power of the spiral arrow, enhanced by the Little Heavenly Thunder Body, was clearly more aggressive. Although the three sturdy walls of fire struggled to block the arrow for a few seconds, they were still reduced to ashes in the flash of lightning.

but--

The trajectory of the spiraling arrows had already been twisted by the wall of fire, making it impossible for them to hit Zhang Ruoxue, who was slowly descending from mid-air at that moment.

"Tch... It was forcibly deflected, huh..."

Ye Yuchan pursed her lips. She thought that her hidden trump card would play a perfect role in this situation, but she did not expect Zhang Ruoxue to respond just as perfectly.

Moreover, this arrow consumed nearly half of Ye Yuchan's spiritual energy, making it virtually impossible for her to fire another one.

However, judging from the appearance, Zhang Ruoxue's spiritual energy was definitely not much left.

If a wall of fire of that magnitude could be summoned continuously and relentlessly, then what's the point of playing ball? I might as well just give up.

Indeed, after Zhang Ruoxue unleashed three walls of fire to deflect the spiral arrows, her spiritual energy was reduced to less than half.

Both of them had very little spiritual energy left. It would be absolutely foolish and unstable to rashly use martial arts techniques or exhaust all their spiritual energy at once.

and so--

The moment Zhang Ruoxue landed, Ye Yuchan completely deviated from the combat strategy of archery users creating distance before using their bows. Instead, she took the initiative to swing her magic weapon, Black Rain, and charged towards Zhang Ruoxue.

Zhang Ruoxue naturally knew Ye Yuchan's plan, but if she retreated from her area of ​​expertise, she would have no other way out.

So, almost simultaneously, the two charged at each other!

It is extremely rare for a user of archery skills to actively engage in close combat with the enemy.

"Your disciple has a very clear way of thinking."

Fang Qingzhu no longer held back her praise. Unlike those who knew nothing about archery and martial arts, she knew more or less that most archery masters were also experts in close combat.

In such a situation, choosing close combat with utmost caution is a sign of confidence in one's own martial arts skills, and it is also the safest option.

Yunping gave a brief "hmm," but his gaze never left the arena.

It was at this moment that the young man's thoughtful voice came from behind them.

"Judging from this, the young lady using the new magical artifact doesn't have a high chance of winning."

Neither Fang Qingzhu nor Yun Ping showed any surprise when they heard the man speak.

If someone at their level couldn't even sense someone appearing behind them, then their cultivation level would be wasted.

No, let me correct you. Even a dog at the Void Refinement stage is incredibly powerful.

Old Yun sneered mischievously, "So you can talk, huh? I thought you were just watching from behind and were stunned."

“It was indeed a bit of a shock…” Liang Jue touched his helmet, making no attempt to hide the surprise in his voice, “The fight between these two completely exceeded the level of cultivators at this realm.”

Hearing someone praise his apprentice, Lao Yun was overjoyed. "Don't let my appearance fool you, the apprentices I've chosen are all incredibly talented."

Liang Jue's lips twitched as he looked at the incredibly sincere and radiant smile on Yun Ping's face. He thought to himself, "This guy is really strange. He's happier when others praise his apprentice than when they praise him himself."

—Sometimes I really don't understand these people.

"So—" Liang Jue pulled out a small stool from somewhere, skillfully found a suitable spot to sit down, and looked at the arena. "How did you get in?"

"You'll have to ask your team leader about this; she opened the back door for us." Yun Ping directly betrayed Fan Luo Kui.

"Captain? The captain doesn't seem like the type to do this..."

"At first I also thought it didn't seem like it, but now I don't think so."

Liang Jue's body stiffened abruptly, and she turned her head around somewhat at a loss. "What do you mean by that?"

Yunping didn't answer him directly, but narrowed his eyes, his gaze seemingly containing something strange. "You will know, in the near future."

Liang Jue: "..."

—I have absolutely no idea what this guy is talking about.

In fact, Liang Jue had long known that these guys' identities were definitely unusual, so unusual that they couldn't be more unusual.

But he had absolutely no idea what they wanted to do or what their purpose was in taking the Silver Frost Flower.

Plus--
