In terms of cultivation base and spirit qi storage, Li Ziqi was inferior to Wei Wuan. If they were to fight in the Nine Provinces, the little sunny egg would lose for sure.
Hence, if they wanted to win, they had to work hard on their battle tactics and equipment.
Although they were all princes and princesses and didn't lack money and could get their hands on peerless-grade saint-tier weapons, they weren't allowed to use them. However, Li Ziqi's spirit rune cudgel wasn't within this range because it was her own work.
As for the battle tactic, it would naturally be aerial bombardment.
At the instant the judge announced the start of the battle, Li Ziqi's body rapidly floated up. At the same time, she tossed out a spirit rune cudgel.
Wei Wuan had clearly guessed this as well. He immediately lunged out.
Rumble!
A sea of lightning erupted, but Wei Wuan passed through it unscathed. However, Li Ziqi had long since considered this possibility. Hence, she fired seven consecutive great flame bullets at Wei Wuan.
Bang!
Wei Wuan landed on the arena. When he saw over ten spirit rune rods being tossed out by Li Ziqi, he no longer hesitated and directly bit his right thumb. After that, he swiftly drew a simple diagram on his left hand and executed the spiritual control technique.
Rumble!
A creature over seven meters long with white scales that looked like an electric eel appeared. It unfolded an invisible spirit qi shield around its body, blocking the lightning attack.
"What's that?"
Many people's eyes widened.
"Teacher Su?"
Qi King asked.
"It's a white flood dragon, an extremely rare wyrm that lives on the fifth level of the Darkness Continent."
Grand Tutor Su introduced with great interest.
"So it's a wyrm. No wonder it isn't as domineering as a true dragon!"
Qi King's lips twitched. Actually, he felt a little envious in his heart.
In ancient times, there were giant dragons residing in the Nine Provinces. However, they were already extinct now.
As emperors, everyone was known as the descendants of dragons. Who wouldn't hope for a giant dragon to guard the country's fate?
Even if they couldn't find a true dragon, a wyrm would do.
A wyrm was a creature that had a trace of a true dragon's bloodline but wasn't a true dragon. However, it was still extremely powerful.
Wei Wuan's wyrm was clearly a young white flood dragon.
The white flood dragon raised its head. A coconut-sized ball of light immediately appeared in front of its mouth. It then shot out toward Li Ziqi.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He fired three shots in a row and returned the favor.
Li Ziqi was extremely knowledgeable. Sun Mo had taught her all the darkness species he had learned before. Hence, the little sunny egg was able to recognize this white flood dragon with a single glance and also knew its attacking methods.
Without any hesitation, the little sunny egg activated the Sky Controlling Spirit Rune and rapidly ascended. At the same time, she tossed out even more spirit rune rods.
Ah!
The White Flood Dragon let out a sharp sound wave, causing the onlookers to cover their ears in pain. Some children and women couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.
A circle of sound waves visible to the naked eye collided with the spiritual pattern rods, directly detonating them in advance.
"He can actually fly so high?"
Wei Wuan inclined his head and stared at Li Ziqi, feeling very envious.
The white flood dragon coiled around Wei Wuan and spat out its forked tongue as it stared at Li Ziqi. This scene was extremely tyrannical.
"Li Ziqi, I can't win against you and you can't win against me either. Why don't we consider it a draw?"
Wei Wuan suggested.
With Wei Country's current battle results, even if they were to get first place in the individual battle, they would not be able to get first place. Therefore, he changed his battle strategy to become famous after defeating Xia Taikang.
As for Li Ziqi?
Honestly speaking, even if she lost, no one would say anything. This wasn't because her skills were inferior to others. This was a suppression of spirit rune knowledge.
As long as they had the Sky Controlling Spirit Rune and those spirit rune rods, even a dog would be able to win.
What people were shocked about was Sun Mo and Li Ziqi's talent in the study of spirit runes. As for their combat strength?
There was no need to mention it!
"Sorry, I want to become the champion!"
Li Ziqi tactfully rejected. "Also, Xia Taikang must be defeated by me."
"That means there's no room for discussion?"
Wei Wuan didn't mind. He shrugged. "Come on, I will let you witness how ferocious and tyrannical my Flood Dragon is!"
ROAR!
The white flood dragon roared, its voice shaking the sky. But all of a sudden, it was as though a large hand was clutching its throat, causing it to fall silent.
"Mn?"
Wei Wuan started. Just when he wanted to say something, a great sense of alarm rose in his heart. The hairs on his skin stood up instinctively.
Because a violent aura was gushing over.
BOOM!
On the stage, a violent gale manifested, forming a hurricane with a diameter of three meters.
"Worm, scram!"
This voice contained the might of a monarch. Everyone on the victory square felt as though a bolt of thunder had exploded in their ears.
"Su... Grand Tutor Su, what is that?"
Qi King asked in shock. His legs were trembling a little.
"I don't know!"
Grand Tutor Su shook his head. "From the might, it seems to be some kind of ancient gigantic beast!"
"You..."
Wei Wuan didn't wish to weaken his momentum. Just when he was preparing to say some ruthless words, the white flood dragon scuttled down the stage with a swoosh. After that, it swished its tail and fled like a loach.
...
Wei Wuan felt very awkward.
The hurricane dissipated. It was as though everything earlier was just an illusion.
"Thanks for letting me win!"
Li Ziqi clasped her fists and descended.
"I heard that you have a mysterious spiritual beast. Is it that thing?"
Wei Wuan was curious.
"Yes!"
Li Ziqi smiled and floated down the stage.
Che!
Wei Wuan was so envious that he was drooling. As expected of a top-notch method to act cool.
The competition continued. However, after seeing the battle between Wei Wuan and Li Ziqi, some of the princes and princesses no longer had the desire to go all out.
In any case, they wouldn't be able to win against Li Ziqi in the end.
Xiang Zhao encountered Jiang Yuzhen and took the initiative to give up after exchanging ten moves. Li Xuan was unconvinced against Xia Taikang and wanted to fight him to the death. He even swallowed an alchemy pill that Han Cangshui had concocted to increase his combat strength. But in the end, he was still beaten to a pulp.
In the end, if it wasn't for Grand Tutor Su and Han Cangshui acting in time, Li Xuan would have been beaten to death.
"Trash!"
This time around, even Li Xiu didn't retort. She cursed.
Li Xuan's performance in the Five Nations Mock Battle was truly lackluster. Wouldn't it be embarrassing enough for such a person to become the Tang Emperor?
"Should I support Ziqi's ascension?"
In the past, Li Xiu didn't think this way. Regardless of the royal family or commoners, the sons would inherit their fathers' businesses and treat their daughters like water that was splashed out. However, after seeing how much Qi King doted on Jiang Yuzhen and how outstanding Li Ziqi was, she decided to change her mind.
Under Li Ziqi's governance, the Tang Empire might become the hegemon of the Nine Provinces.
As for bloodline?
The next Tang Emperor could choose one of Li Xuan's sons. If not, the other princes' sons could be chosen as well.
Han Cangshui, who was standing at the side, could clearly sense that Li Xiu's gaze toward Li Xuan had turned cold. This gave him a bad premonition.
As Li Yingqi's most trusted younger sister, Li Xiu didn't just have the title of Princess Royal. She held real power. Not only did she control all the royal family's businesses, including the Royal Plantation, but she also controlled spies and was in charge of monitoring the officials.
It seemed that she had nothing to do with those officials, but as long as she made a call, they would definitely gather.
If such people supported Li Ziqi's ascension, Li Xuan's position would be unstable.
"Trash, you only know how to create trouble!"
Han Cangshui felt very depressed.
The individual battles continued. Finally, when there were only eight people left, Li Ziqi and Xia Taikang faced off.
Right now, Great Xia and Great Tang had won two rounds each in the civil battle and one round in the martial battle. Therefore, the outcome of this battle would determine who would be the champion of this mock battle.
The victory plaza was filled with people.
Grand Tutor Su had already set up the 'Prison of Drawing' around the arena to prevent the battle's range from being too large and causing the spectators to be injured.
The judge announced the start of the battle. Xia Taikang's two-handed greatsword slashed out.
Swoosh!
The crescent-shaped sword qi whistled and smashed into the wind shield in front of Li Ziqi, dispersing it.
Xia Taikang didn't think that his attack would succeed. He stomped on the ground and shot out. His speed was so fast that it was like he had teleported. He appeared in front of Li Ziqi and slashed out with his sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Li Ziqi's wind shield was on the verge of collapse. She had no choice but to raise her hand and release her trump card.
Rumble!
Li Ziqi's left hand spewed out a bolt of lightning. After that, it spread out like a spider web. As for her right hand, it was a transparent wind bullet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the same time, Li Ziqi climbed up vertically, dodging the slash.
Facing such a large-scale attack, Xia Taikang had no way to deal with it in one go. He was forced back and fell onto the arena.
"Aiya, what a pity!"
The people from Grand Xia felt that it was too much of a pity. Those who had bet on Grand Xia were all cursing. As for the people from Great Tang's camp, they felt a lingering fear in their hearts.
This Xia Taikang was really too impressive.
Boom!
A raging wind rose and a tornado was formed!
The Wind King was summoned.
"Ant, scram!"
Just the Wind King's voice caused intense pain in the eardrums of others.
"Multitasking? Impressive! "
Xia Taikang praised. This was Li Ziqi multitasking. When she was fighting, she summoned the Wind King at the same time. "But I know how to do it too!"
"Mn?"
Li Ziqi was shocked and hurriedly moved, but she was still too slow.
A scorching fireball shot toward her. Luckily, the Wind King's reaction was fast enough and cast a shield for her. If not, she would have lost her life.
Everyone raised their heads. Only then did they discover that there was a ferocious beast with a pair of wings in the sky. It flew down and landed beside Xia Taikang.
"What is this? A lion? "
"Fool, this is a qilin, Grand Xia's guardian divine beast, the qilin!"
"Oh my god, has Emperor Xia decided to abdicate? Otherwise, why would Xia Taikang bring the Qilin out? "
The commoners were shocked by the appearance of the Qilin. After all, this kind of mythological beast with the head of a lion, the antlers of a deer, the body of an elk, and covered in dragon scales was considered auspicious. Ordinary people would not be able to see it.
Although the royal descendants and nobles had never seen it before, they knew the significance of this auspicious beast compared to ordinary people.
It was the guardian divine beast of Great Xia, and only the king had the right to tame it.
Xia Taikang leaped onto the kirin and rode on its back. After that, the kirin carried him and flew up, reaching the same height as Li Ziqi.
"It's over. We're definitely going to lose this time!"
Lu Zhiruo was so worried that she didn't dare to pant.
Eldest Martial Sister's trump cards were flying, spirit runes, and the Wind King. Right now, her opponent could also fly, and the kirin seemed to be at the same level as the Wind King?
How were they supposed to fight?
"Li Ziqi, admit defeat!"
Xia Taikang looked straight at the little sunny egg. "You won't be able to defeat me!"
"I've never fought before. Who knows?"
Li Ziqi was unhappy.
"That person below is an elemental lifeform, right? Even if my kirin is inferior to it, I can still hold it back and gain three minutes for me. Do you think you can win against me within three minutes? "
Xia Taikang smiled. "Naturally, I can let you be the champion. However, you have to promise me a condition!"
"I don't need to let you win!"
Li Ziqi was angry.
"Listen to me first!"
Xia Taikang surveyed Li Ziqi. Although this woman's figure wasn't good and was like an iron plate used to forge swords, her brain was too good. Hence, it was worth fighting for. "Be my crown princess! If we join forces, we'll definitely be able to create the strongest empire! "
"Huh? Is this fellow dreaming? "
Lu Zhiruo was angry. In her heart, her eldest martial sister was extremely impressive. There was basically no man who could match up to her other than her teacher.
(Aiya, doesn't this mean that her eldest martial sister will have to live out her life alone?)
"Quickly look!"
Qin Yaoguang used her elbow to poke Tantai Yutang.
The sickly invalid turned his head and discovered that his teacher's countenance had turned very unsightly.
"Your Majesty, we must stop this matter!"
The empress was worried. These two were dragons and phoenixes among men. If they were allowed to get married, the Qi Country would definitely be finished.
"Don't worry, as long as we get Sun Mo, there's no need to fear these two!"
Qi King was very calm.
"After the mock battle ends, I'll go to King Tang to propose marriage."
The more Xia Taikang looked at Li Ziqi, the more he liked her. Although she was still young, she already exuded an intellectual beauty and a scholarly aura.
"Scram!"
Li Ziqi flew into a rage from embarrassment. She subconsciously glanced down at her teacher.
(Damn it, I won't marry you!)
(I want to serve Teacher forever.)
(Aiya, Teacher seems to be angry?) (What should I do?)
(Right, kill this fellow!)
"Wind King, kill him!"
Li Ziqi roared in rage.
The tornado on the stage directly shot out a large number of crescent wind blades.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Roar!
The kirin roared and blasted out a fire wall that was over ten meters tall, incinerating all the wind blades.
"Li Ziqi, you..."
Xia Taikang wanted to persuade her, but he saw a tornado forming with Li Ziqi as the eye of the formation, enveloping her. It could be used for both defense and offense.
This caused his expression to turn unsightly.
The opponent was more powerful than he had expected.
The kirin and the wind king exchanged blows and started to clash. Xia Taikang and Li Ziqi's combat strength no longer had any prowess in a battle between ancient divine beasts.
"Aren't you an elemental king? You can't even win against a mount? "
Li Ziqi mocked.
"This is just a clone projection, alright? If you completely release the seal on me, my true self will descend to the nine provinces and smack it to death with a single hand."
The wind king grumbled.
Li Ziqi had been studying the seals on the Wind King Altar and had some inspiration to break them. However, she wouldn't do it because once the wind king broke free, it would definitely become a disaster.
Such a hegemon would definitely not be willing to be enslaved by others.
"No, I can only rely on myself!"
Li Ziqi racked her brains to think of a solution. "It's fine if I lose, but I must not throw Teacher's face."
Xia Taikang rode on the kirin and charged a few times, wanting to get close to Li Ziqi and kill her. However, he was forced back by the tornado.
The situation was in a stalemate.
"Your Majesty, let's announce a draw. There's no meaning to such a competition!"
Teacher Su suggested.
Although the two of them could summon powerful spiritual beasts, there wasn't much technical content to it.
"Alright then!"
The Qi King stood up and just when he wanted to announce the result, a sudden change occurred.
