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

Jiang Qinghua sneered – she was certain that Jiang Yuetian must have exhausted all her spiritual energy to use such a martial skill. Although she was also close to being exhausted, dealing with Jiang Yuetian, who had no magic weapon, was still a piece of cake.

In this battle, she is still the victor!

—The instant this thought popped into my head.

"Han Qianying."

Three words were uttered from the mouth of the pale-faced, slumped-to-the-ground purple-haired youth below.

Jiang Qinghua's smile froze instantly. She hurriedly turned her head and looked behind her in horror.

As if summoned, the jet-black spear that had originally grazed past his cheek suddenly twisted its direction and attacked his back, which he could not defend against!

And this time, the third blue ring has also disappeared!

Ice flowers!

Once again, what appeared before Jiang Qinghua was an ice flower as terrifying as a frost giant, yet also incredibly gorgeous and dazzling!

There was no way to avoid it, no way to dodge it!

She could only stare in terror at the enormous frost flower that was crushing down on her from above!

"Do not!!"

A terrified and incredulous cry escaped her lips.

She doesn't believe it, she doesn't understand!

Why did I have to lose?! Why did she have to lose?!

He clearly had a higher cultivation level, he was the one who came from the Jiang family, and this man in front of him should have become a cripple after leaving the Jiang family!

Why...why did it turn out like this?

With a fierce and resentful gaze, Jiang Qinghua glared at Jiang Yuetian not far away. His anger was about to burst forth in words.

However, she did not make a sound, because half a second later, she was crushed to the ground by the ice flowers.

boom!

The ice flowers shattered.

Hundreds and thousands of ice crystal fragments scattered on the ground like cherry blossoms. Lying in the ice crystals, the woman, covered in countless wounds and stained crimson with blood, lay motionless on the ground.

This contest of blood ties ultimately ended with Jiang Qinghua's defeat.

Jiang Qinghua – Eliminated.

Watching Jiang Qinghua slowly being teleported out of the arena after losing consciousness, not far away—the purple-haired youth smiled palely…

He raised his head, looked up at the azure sky, and said softly.

"At least I didn't embarrass you... teacher."

After speaking.

He lay down, his spiritual energy depleted, his body covered in wounds—he could no longer support himself, and finally, his consciousness slowly sank into darkness.

Having conceded three moves to Jiang Qinghua and endured blows that nearly made him lose consciousness, coupled with the subsequent use of martial arts techniques three times in succession, it is almost a miracle that he has managed to hold on until now in the eyes of outsiders.

It's only thanks to his relentless fighting spirit that he finally collapsed.

In the dim light, he seemed to see a snow-white figure walk onto the fighting arena and come to his side.

"Well done."

Upon hearing the figure's words, Jiang Yuetian unconsciously broke into a smile.

Immediately—unable to resist the overwhelming drowsiness, he fell into a deep sleep.

With that, the outcome of this thrilling battle became clear.

—The first round of the battle among all factions.

I got back a little late!

During these few days of holiday, I updated mostly in the afternoon and evening.

(It's almost the end of the month, I want something, hmm.)

95. Fan Luokui, teetering on the brink of failure?

This victory is a real morale booster for both Jiang Yuetian and Yun Ping.

At least Yunping's anxiety was finally relieved.

He had enough confidence in Xiao Jiang, but confidence didn't mean he wouldn't be worried about him during the process—in fact, Lao Yun, who watched the entire battle from outside the sword formation, felt like he was on a roller coaster.

—One moment it's heaven, the next it's hell, going back and forth. It has to be said that the battle between these two siblings was truly terrifying to watch.

But now, everything has settled down.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, who was in a daze and completely exhausted, Yun Ping smiled with relief—his injuries were not that serious, but the overdraft of his spiritual energy had drained his mental strength.

To put it simply, I should just sleep a little longer.

Just as he was carrying Jiang Yuetian down from the fighting arena, a familiar black and white figure darted out from the side.

"Finally found you... I figured you'd probably come to watch Senior Brother Jiang's match."

The girl named Ye Yuchan stood before the cloud without a scratch, as if nothing had happened.

The black and white maid outfit wasn't even dusty. Yun Ping was astonished and deliberately used his divine sense to scan the girl's meridians.

—Less than 40% of the spiritual energy was consumed.

"Are you done playing?" He raised an eyebrow in confusion.

As if it were a matter of course, Ye Yuchan said in a very ordinary tone: "After we finished fighting, I went to the same place to find you, but after wandering around for a long time, I couldn't find you, so I started looking for Senior Brother Jiang everywhere."

……

According to this girl, she spent less than 40% of her spiritual energy in the first round of the Ten Thousand Sects Competition, and quickly defeated her opponent. Then she spent a lot of time looking for herself.

Yunping stared at a girl surnamed Ye who was clearly on the wrong path in her upbringing, and blurted out, "What level of opponent did you encounter in the first round?"

"I didn't notice."

"what?"

Faced with Yun Ping's slightly astonished gaze, Ye Yuchan scratched her face somewhat embarrassedly, "He seems to be at the same Spirit Platform stage as me, but he's too weak. I didn't even have to do much before I shot him into a pincushion."

……

hedgehog.

Imagining the poor cultivator covered in arrows of spiritual energy, Yun Ping suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the person who had faced Ye Yuchan.

A perfectly healthy cultivator, probably got beaten so badly he's starting to question his existence.

"Ah, right..." Ye Yuchan finally remembered the important matter. He looked at Jiang Yuetian, who had fainted and was as captivating as a sleeping beauty, swallowed, and tentatively asked, "Senior Brother Jiang, what happened to you...?"

Yunping replied decisively, "We won."

With a heavy weight lifted from her heart, Ye Yuchan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also very worried about whether Jiang Yuetian could win the first round of the competition. After all, she had been exchanging barbs with Jiang Qinghua. If she lost in the first round, she would lose face big time.

However, Ye Yuchan rarely saw Jiang Yuetian in such a disheveled state. The last time she saw him looking so disheveled and miserable was during puppet training.

"Has Senior Brother Jiang encountered a formidable enemy?"

“A formidable foe… I suppose so.” Yunping looked at Jiang Yuetian, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. “He encountered Jiang Qinghua.”

"What?!"

Yu Chan almost exploded.

The old rogue glanced at the girl with disdain. "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just running into an acquaintance at the beginning, it's normal—and Xiao Jiang won, didn't he?"

"That's what they say, but I ran into her in the very first round..."

The words "conspiracy" and "behind-the-scenes manipulation" immediately flashed through Ye Yuchan's mind. After looking around and confirming that there were no members of the royal family, she whispered, "Did that Qinghua bribe someone from the royal family?"

"Otherwise, how low do you think the probability would be to run into someone in the first round?" Yunping rolled his eyes. "Even a fool would know that she must have had someone from the royal family pull some strings behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, the maid couldn't help but sigh.

His eyes were filled with emotion.

"Trying to bribe the organizers to get yourself into the first round against Senior Brother Jiang, and then getting brutally beaten to the ground... What is that? A fancy way to commit suicide?"

……

Although this sounds strange, upon closer reflection, it does make sense!

Fortunately, Jiang Qinghua was unconscious at the moment. If she had heard Ye Yuchan's words, she would probably have been so angry that she would have left her body and died on the spot.

Poor Qinghua girl sent herself down right at the start; this unbelievable move really left Yunping feeling a bit bewildered.

"Let's not talk about that." He shook his head, temporarily banishing Jiang Qinghua from his mind, and then asked the silver-haired girl in front of him about the other disciples, "Where are your junior sister Ruoxue and the others?"

"They... should be done with it by now."

"should?"

Ye Yuchan nodded her chin and slowly traced the memories that had been imprinted not long ago. "I remember that Senior Sister Yuan'er seemed to have come out very quickly as well... It seems that her opponent was only at the peak of the Transformation stage and could not withstand her string music at all. He lost consciousness and was judged to have failed."

"The peak period, huh? It will indeed be very soon."

Yunping had once examined the power of the double pupils within Yuan'er's body. After awakening, the double pupils remaining in her body could unleash power comparable to the peak of the Transcendent God stage in an instant. Moreover, the power of the double pupils was inexhaustible, and there was no situation like other cultivators who lacked spiritual energy.

Based on this, Yuan'er's strength is definitely not limited to the Transcendent God stage.

Moreover, this girl herself is already very skilled in playing the zither, and she probably can figure out how to turn the strings and zither techniques into offensive methods without being taught.

In terms of talent, she is no less talented than Jiang Yuetian and the others.

Speaking of Lin Yuan, we must mention Zhang Ruoxue, who is at the very bottom of the Lin-level cultivators.

I wonder how her battle is going.
