"Quickly go and take a look. Li Ziqi and Zhou Wenbin are fighting on the # 8 arena!"
It wasn't known who shouted, but the entire field was in an uproar as people swarmed over.
Let alone the teachers and students, even the ordinary citizens knew who these two were.
During this half a month, all sorts of underground gambling houses could be found all over the streets and alleys. The big ones ranged from a few hundred thousand taels to a few copper coins.
Even the beggars who got their hands on the money wanted to take a gamble. Steamed buns turned into meat buns.
The ordinary citizens didn't care who Li Ziqi was. They only cared if this dark horse could help them earn money or not!
One must know that this person was the strongest contender for the top spot of the 1-star ranking.
"Quick, go and maintain public order!"
Tong Yiming, who was in charge of security, immediately sent more people to maintain public order to prevent people from getting trampled and injured.
...
Lu Zhiruo glanced at the crowd and had a bitter expression on her face.
"It's over. Why is my second match against Zhou Wenbin?"
Lu Zhiruo was worried.
Zhou Aisun's family had a long history and he was also a genius. He wasn't a weakling like her. Given her eldest martial sister's combat strength, she would most probably be crushed.
"Is that guy very strong?"
Helian Beifang was curious.
"Mn, he cultivates the Phantom Sovereign Fist, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. When trained to the extreme, it's said that the phantom of an army can appear."
Lu Zhiruo introduced.
"You seem to know quite a lot."
Qin Yaoguang had a playful look on her face.
"This isn't a big secret in the great teacher world."
Lu Zhiruo opened her mouth but closed it again. No, it was better not to talk about these private matters.
"Saint-tier?"
When Sun Mo heard this tyrannical name, he raised his brows. (I'll find a chance to spar with the Zhou Clan. My Immemorial Vairocana has been hungry for a long time. It's time for me to have a feast.)
However, after obtaining such a cultivation art, one could only use it to increase their knowledge. Even if they secretly cultivated it, they couldn't use it. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
In the crowd, Jiang Zizhong was squeezed until he couldn't breathe. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to see Li Ziqi getting crushed, he couldn't be bothered to suffer.
"Would someone be scheming against us?"
Tantai Yutang frowned.
If Li Ziqi lost this round, Sun Mo would lose face. But if he won, it wouldn't be good either because Secondary Saint Zhou's face would be smacked.
The genius grandson of the second-saint clan had participated in a simple 1-star great teacher examination, yet he had failed. This was a great humiliation.
The family's glory had been tarnished.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely retaliate!
Sun Mo fell silent, feeling a little unhappy because he discovered that he actually didn't have many connections that he could use. He could only get An Xinhui to investigate.
"No, I have to build my own power network."
Sun Mo started to reflect on his way of doing things.
Why did those high-ranking great teachers have so much authority?
Why were they able to immediately know of any changes in the great teacher world?
Because in his lifetime, he had taught students and made friends all over the world.
This duel must have been deliberately arranged by some people from the Zhou Clan's faction who had secretly interfered.
They weren't targeting Sun Mo. They were purely protecting Secondary Saint Zhou's prestige because he was the flag of a faction and couldn't be tainted.
While Sun Mo was in a daze, the smell of gunpowder between the two of them was extremely intense.
"Princess Li, it's an honor to meet you at last!"
Zhou Wenbin clasped his fists, appearing refined and courteous. However, he hated Li Ziqi to death in his heart.
Ever since the start of the examination, things hadn't been going well for him. He had been continuously suppressed, and he had never felt so sullen in his entire life. However, everything was fine now.
It felt too good to be able to settle the battle personally and send you off the examination.
"Brother Zhou, good afternoon!"
Li Ziqi spoke politely. This was the education she had received since young, telling her not to be rude. However, she was still a 15-year-old girl after all.
She was an age where she could deeply remember the moment her lollipop was snatched away by someone else.
Moreover, being rejected by a secondary saint was far more painful than having a lollipop snatched away. It was even more unbearable and made one feel more despair.
In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, secondary saints were authority.
The words they said had unquestionable correctness.
Even if she relied on Great Tang's Majesty's face, it was useless. Li Ziqi was still rejected. This meant that she was trash to the extreme.
At that time, even the little sunny egg herself felt that she was trash and living was a waste of food. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so desperate that she jumped into a lake to commit suicide.
"If it wasn't for Teacher, I'd already be dead."
Li Ziqi's gaze gradually turned cold.
(No matter what price I have to pay, I have to win this battle.)
"Please pay your respects!"
The judge instructed.
"Zhou Wenbin, second level of the blood-ignition realm. Please guide me!"
The moment he said this, many teachers and students exclaimed in admiration.
Look, what was a genius of the Nine Provinces?
This was it!
A 17-year-old at the second level of the blood-ignition realm. How amazing was this?
One must know that other than cultivating, they still had to learn many subjects. If one wasn't a heaven-defying genius, it was impossible for them to do so.
"Li Ziqi, ninth level of the body-refinement realm. Please guide me!"
Li Ziqi spoke loudly!
No one was surprised. Although she wasn't bad, she wasn't strong to the extent where it would shock people.
"Please attack first!"
Zhou Wenbin declined modestly.
"No need!"
Li Ziqi rejected. After that, she brought out her nouveau riche battle technique.
This time around, she tore a total of eight spirit runes, forming a total of 36 lightning spheres to protect herself.
At the same time, the Black Tortoise shone on her head.
"Why? Are you afraid of falling while walking? "
Zhou Wenbin smiled when he heard that. Given his status, it was as easy as flipping his palm for him to obtain information about Li Ziqi. "Since you aren't going to attack, I'll go first."
Zhou Wenbin strode forward and punched!
Phantom Paragon!
Rumble!
A large amount of spirit qi gushed out from Zhou Wenbin's body, condensing into a three-meter-tall, heavily-armored warrior. It appeared in front of Li Ziqi, clenched its fists, raised them above its head, and then smashed down.
Bang!
After being reinforced by special spirit runes, the arena that wasn't easily shattered had some small cracks appearing. It could be seen how tyrannical this attack was.
Li Ziqi retreated two steps, her countenance changing.
"Heh!"
Zhou Wenbin smiled elegantly.
That punch earlier had also smashed six lightning spheres. Hence, some of the lightning bolts darted onto the warrior's body, but they didn't cause any damage.
(Won't I win for sure this time?)
Zhou Wenbin punched again. The heavily-armored warrior, who was over ten meters away from him, was like a controlled mecha, attacking Li Ziqi.
This time around, the little sunny egg was half a beat slower, and the heavy punch grazed the tortoise shell.
Bang!
The tortoise shell trembled violently, but it didn't shatter.
"Eh? This defense is quite strong, huh? "
Zhou Wenbin was surprised. He was very clear about the destructive power of the Paragon Fist. It could even smash the fake mountain in his back garden into powder with one punch. But now, it was steadily blocked.
However, when he thought of Li Ziqi's profound level in the study of spirit runes, he understood.
It wasn't difficult for such a person to draw some peak-grade spirit runes.
(But it's precisely because you're strong enough that you have to die!)
Zhou Wenbin attacked again. He really wanted to smash Li Ziqi with his own hands, but he had to wait for the lightning spheres to be exhausted before he could get close.
"It's over, I'm going to lose!"
Lu Zhiruo felt despair.
Eldest Martial Sister's nouveau riche battle technique was very useful, but against long-range professions or control-type puppeteers, her battle technique would be greatly reduced.
"Don't panic, Eldest Martial Sister can handle it!"
Xianyu Wei's words sounded more like self-consolation.
Crackle! Crackle!
The lightning spheres exploded, and the Black Tortoise Shield kept flickering non-stop. Then, it finally collapsed.
A chance!
Zhou Wenbin had a look of joy on his face and immediately rushed over.
But just when he got close, he saw Li Ziqi tearing a spirit rune.
Boom!
More than ten fireballs the size of fists shot towards Zhou Wen Bin's head.
"Hmph, insignificant tricks!"
Zhou Wenbin resisted it head-on, but who knew that when his fist smashed into the fireball, it actually exploded?
The shockwave was still bearable, but the sparks that exploded like fireworks were too annoying and blocked his vision.
Si la!
Zhou Wenbin heard the tearing sound of spirit runes. He decisively used his sword to defend, and then many coconut-sized fireballs came whistling over.
Flame bullets shot out consecutively!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhou Wenbin didn't want to retreat, but the flame bullets collided and exploded. The scorching airwaves and shockwaves roasted his skin.
Even his hair seemed to be on fire.
There was no solution to it. Zhou Wenbin temporarily retreated.
Li Ziqi immediately threw out a large number of spirit runes as though they were free.
Only then did Zhou Wenbin see that the useless girl was already riding on a ferocious tiger with snow-white stripes. She was dodging the paragon giant while attacking.
"Eldest Martial Sister is so impressive!"
Lu Zhiruo clapped excitedly.
"Using a mount to make up for her clumsiness, what a great idea!"
Helian Beifang praised.
"You should be praising her. Eldest Martial Sister's spiritual control technique is really impressive!"
Qin Yaoguang corrected. This was the core reason why they could use this battle tactic. Because mounts that weren't summoned by the spiritual control technique were forbidden on the arena.
"Quickly look, the wind elementals are coming out!"
Xianyu Wei exclaimed, "We have a chance to win!"
On the arena, two tornado-shaped wind elementals appeared and started shooting crescent wind blades at Zhou Wenbin. This time around, he had no way to attack calmly.
Hence, he got the giant to pounce toward the wind elementals, preparing to destroy them first.
Should he change them?
Li Ziqi hesitated because she wasn't familiar with this cultivation art. She was worried that Zhou Wenbin would be able to summon a new one after exhausting her spirit runes to destroy it.
No, that shouldn't be the case. This thing exhausted a lot of spirit qi. Even if Zhou Wenbin was a genius, how much spirit qi would he have?
At the thought of this, Li Ziqi threw out spirit runes.
Great Flame Explosion!
Boom!
A huge fireball of half a meter was formed and smashed toward the paragon giant like a meteor.
At the same time, in order to prevent this fellow from dodging, the wind elementals kept on throwing wind blades at Zhou Wenbin, interfering with his control. Ma Qianzu didn't move and just stared at him, maintaining the pressure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flame explosions kept on smashing into the giant's body, causing sparks to splatter everywhere.
Finally, the giant collapsed and dissipated.
Zhou Wenbin's lips twitched. As his spirit qi leaked out, he sneered in disdain.
"Do you think I can only use one? Sorry, it's six! "
Six paragon giants appeared on the arena.
However, this time around, they were compressed to two meters in size, but there were more of them and their speed was faster. Hence, Li Ziqi's situation was even more dangerous.
In the blink of an eye, the white tiger was forced into a corner and was surrounded. He had no way to escape.
"It's over!"
The judge sighed.
Although Li Ziqi's spirit rune battle technique wasn't bad, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art was too profound and powerful. This princess had no chance of winning.
