Chapter 228 This Mess
Chapter 228 This Mess
Of the fifteen participants, two were seriously injured and withdrew from the competition.
Only thirteen people remain to compete for the top ten.
Most surprisingly, none of the top ten most popular candidates, including the Nangong siblings from the Beast Taming Sect, Wen Xupeng from the Lingyun Sect, and Shan Hai from the Taixu Sect, made it into the final fifteen-person list.
Some might say that the Qingyun Sect got lucky, but the Nangong siblings and Wen Xupeng were all killed by Zhong Lingxin, and the Taixu Sect's Shan Hai was killed by that female cultivator named Long Ling'er.
The female cultivators of the Qingyun Sect this year are too powerful, and the male cultivator is also quite good. In the end, he also eliminated one of the top ten candidates.
It seems that the Qingyun Sect is really going to rise. Even if it doesn't rise this time, it will rise next time.
The three people, Zhong Lingxin, Zhong Lingxin, and Zhong Lingxin, exchanged glances as they stepped onto the competition field.
Zhong Lingxin stepped onto the first arena. She was aiming for first place and was ready to fight anyone who disagreed.
With a single move of her Water Cloud Sword, Long Ling'er went straight to the second arena. She was not convinced by anyone but her master, so she wanted to be second place.
The remaining eleven cultivators looked at each other and carefully assessed their own and their opponents' strength.
Seeing that no one was going to the third arena, Mei Yuqing chuckled softly, "In that case, I'll wait for you all in arena number three."
With a light touch of his toes, he leaped onto the third arena.
The remaining ten people quickly seized the remaining seven arenas.
The challenge has officially begun.
The three who failed to secure a spot on the arena scanned the ten arenas.
Those who haven't reached their ideal arena are also eyeing the arenas ahead.
Zhong Lingxin sat calmly cross-legged on the number one arena. She knew in her heart that no matter what the outcome of this arena competition was, she had officially entered the sight of cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
From this day forward, all sects on the Immortal Spirit Continent will collect information about her, study her, and work to restrain her.
But so what!
Her goal was never the Immortal Spirit Continent.
She wants to ascend to heaven; she wants to go to a wider world and make a difference.
On the stage, after a long period of evaluation, someone finally made a move, and it was two people at once.
One of them was Xiao Meng, a cultivator from the Taixu Sect in Arena No. 4, who went straight for Long Ling'er in Arena No. 2.
Long Ling'er killed Shan Hai.
It just so happens that Xiao Meng has long been dissatisfied with Shan Hai. In his opinion, Shan Hai is just a disciple who relies on his good family background and many magical treasures, and has no real skills.
If he can defeat Long Ling'er, he can solidify his position in the Taixu Sect.
The other one was a Lingyun Sect disciple who hadn't managed to get a spot on the arena, and instead headed for the Chaoyuan Sect disciple in arena number five.
Long Ling'er was practicing her master's self-cultivation skills on the arena, imitating her master's composure.
As she saw someone running towards her, she excitedly jumped up.
They're here, they're here! It's not that she's not cultivating her character enough, it's that others are coming for her.
Zhong Lingxin pressed her forehead. It seemed that her disciple's self-cultivation skills were still far from sufficient. She needed to teach her to calm down. She wondered if copying books in the secular world would be acceptable, and whether her plum blossom calligraphy would be enough for her to practice.
Long Ling'er, who had been acting too aggressively, caught a glimpse of her master's expression out of the corner of her eye and thought to herself, "Oh no, I've acted too aggressively. I haven't maintained my composure and aloofness enough."
When she gets back, her master will definitely punish her.
Long Ling'er vented all her frustration on Xiao Meng. She slowly drew her Water Cloud Sword and said calmly, "Let's begin."
Xiao Meng, who was feeling a little uneasy after being teased by Long Ling'er, turned around and saw Long Ling'er putting on an act again. He sneered, "Another show-off, just like that Shan Hai Yi, all talk and no action, useless."
He's here to deal with these pretentious, useless types.
Mei Yuqing, standing on the third arena, couldn't help but chuckle.
He had seen Zhong Lingxin teach Long Ling'er how to cultivate her character, so he knew the whole story.
But the way things have turned out is just too funny.
Soon, he frowned.
Xiao Meng was truly despicable; he swung his right hand and grabbed Long Ling'er's chest.
Although Long Ling'er reacted quickly to avoid the grab, the extremely insulting grab still made her face turn red with anger. She suddenly swung out the Water Cloud in her hand, and countless water arrows shot towards Xiao Meng's right hand.
Xiao Meng dodged with a sinister grin, his hands forming claws, each claw strike landing right in front of and behind Long Ling'er, while his mouth spewed out filthy and extremely insulting words.
Zhong Lingxin looked calmly at the second arena.
Long Ling'er's self-cultivation skills were still insufficient, and she fell into the enemy's trap, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks in a short time. If this continued, her spiritual energy would soon be depleted.
This is exactly the effect Xiao Meng wanted.
He could tell that Long Ling'er had a single water elemental root, so his words were full of things like "warming the bed" and "serving as a furnace."
Because of the battle on Dragon Island, Long Ling'er hated the idea of a furnace or cauldron the most. She was both angry and anxious, and unleashed several moves in succession, including the Raging Waves, Ten Thousand Arrows, Ice Rain, and Snowfall.
Soon, Long Ling'er turned pale.
Xiao Meng's claws continued to lash out, creating a flurry of claw shadows on Long Ling'er's chest.
After using the Dragon Gate Waves move, Long Ling'er took a step back.
Xiao Meng tore apart Long Ling'er's Dragon Gate Waves move with his claws, and grinned as he grabbed at Long Ling'er's chest with another claw.
All the spectators closed their eyes.
Long Ling'er is going to suffer a loss.
In fact, Long Ling'er is indeed going to suffer a loss!
As the granddaughter of the Dragon Island Lord, although she possessed a water elemental root, she was never subjected to foul language.
She lost her temper because of Xiao Meng's words about warming her bed and being a "furnace."
Seeing Xiao Meng's claws about to reach her chest, Long Ling'er's eyes turned red with rage, and she roared, "Ah!"
He thrust out the Water Cloud Sword in his hand, aiming straight for Xiao Meng's face.
At the same time, she also turned her hands into claws and grabbed at Xiao Meng's hands.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a pair of dragon claws emerged, seizing Xiao Meng's hands and tearing them apart in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the dragon claw reached forward, grabbed Xiao Meng's head, and crushed it.
There was complete silence on and off the stage.
This is... this is the awakening of the dragon bloodline!
Long Ling'er actually has dragon blood!
The cultivators, having come to their senses, each had their own thoughts.
Many cultivators secretly plotted to capture Long Ling'er alive, to use her for alchemy, to refine her body, to...
Zhong Lingxin sighed softly and looked up at the sky.
What a mess!
I'm afraid that soon, some clever person will follow the clues and find out that a thousand members of the Long family came to Qingling Peak, and also that they went to Dragon Island in the South China Sea.
Alas, a thousand years later, Dragon Island will emerge, bringing great trouble.
She still needs to find a way to hide Dragon Island even more deeply.
Right now, let's focus on protecting the Long family members on Qingling Peak.
That cunning Heavenly Way, always causing her trouble.
The Celestial Spirit Heavenly Dao, hidden in mid-air, was secretly delighted.
Finally, a member of the dragon race has awakened their dragon bloodline.
If there's one, there will be two; if there are two, there will be three; and then there will be many, many more...
It seems we've found the female nun who can help us.
On the Immortal Spirit Continent, there are cultivators of various bloodlines.
But they usually keep it very well hidden, existing only in legends.
