The chubby man's eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils constricted.

The dark green Snow Flower Sword Glow, when swiftly approaching, was impossible to see with the naked eye. Shocked, the chubby man could only reflexively stir the broadsword in front of him again and again...

Crack, crack!

A series of chaotic sounds.

Then...

Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah...

The chubby man's body twisted in pain as if he had been stung by a hornet, and then, blood blisters continuously emerged from various parts of his body.

He had been wounded by the invisible dark green Sword Light.

Seeing this scene, the audience below sighed:

"What a formidable move!"

"This move is so vicious!"

"It really suits her temperament, I like it!"

......

On the stage.

The injured chubby man, furious, first used his Spiritual Power to seal several wounds on his body, then spun his broadsword and shouted loudly, "Spiral Blade Shadow!"

Whoosh~

With the turn of the broadsword, immediately four or five blade shadows, in a spiral shape, rushed toward Lin Xianshu.

Lin Xianshu, seeing her opponent launch a Spell, dared not be negligent. She immediately shook her long sword, and countless snowflake Sword Lights scattered from the Ink Snow Long Sword, forming a giant Snow Flower Shield in front of her.

Boom~

Several Spiral Blade Shadows struck the Snow Flower Giant Shield. The clash neutralized both sides.

Under the strong force, both of them also took a step back.

Seeing his Spiral Blade Shadow unable to harm the opponent, the chubby man bellowed in rage, leapt up, and with both hands wielding the sword, he slashed towards her delicate figure.

This slash was with his full strength, seeing a huge blade shadow forming on the sword, its power massive and surging.

Lin Xianshu held her Ink Snow Sword horizontally in front of her. The Sword Light of Ink Snow Sword greatly intensified, forming a meter-thick massive Sword Light as if it were a solid entity.

The next moment~

Boom~

The Sword Light of the Ink Snow Sword and the blade shadow from the chubby man's hand collided directly.

The loud noise boomed, and the powerful force blasted out, pushing both their bodies toward the edge of the stage.

Immortal Sister Lin even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, falling towards the edge of the stage.

The chubby man also fell toward the edge of the stage.

Just as it appeared that they would both be equally injured and the match would end in a draw, unexpectedly, Lin Xianshu's body suddenly halted just before hitting the ground, then was pulled up, ultimately landing back on the stage.

The chubby man, however, was not so lucky and fell directly beneath the stage.

Everyone stared in amazement with eyes wide, focusing on Lin Xianshu on the stage.

Everyone wondered how Lin Xianshu, clearly about to fall off the stage, suddenly had the strength to return to it.

Lin Xianshu was also puzzled, just at the moment when she was powerlessly about to fall off the stage, something suddenly blocked her downward motion and lifted her back onto the stage.

At that moment, under the astonished gaze of everyone below, she looked down and saw a person standing there, Wang Xiaoqiang, who was smiling at her, his smile somewhat triumphant.

Lin Xianshu's face suddenly reddened, as smart as she was, she instantly understood it was Wang Xiaoqiang who had helped her return to the stage.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could Wang Xiaoqiang have managed to do that without being noticed?

Little did she know, Wang Xiaoqiang had used two Five Elements Spirit Springs to support her body and send her back to the stage.

"Lin Xianshu wins, Lin Xianshu wins."

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Lin."

...

Although Lin Xianshu's victory was somewhat mysterious, emotionally, everyone was biased toward the woman of heavenly beauty rather than the man as fat as a pig. Thus, when they saw the final result that Lin Xianshu had won, cheers erupted from below.

Lin Xianshu jumped off the stage and walked towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Lin Xianshu somewhat guiltily, lowered his head, and dared not look directly into her stunning face.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, thank you," Lin Xianshu began, "but, never use such tricks again in the future, it's unfair to others."

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't expect this exquisite girl, not only to be righteous and responsible but also a girl full of principles and justice. His heart quivered, then he looked up, staring at her, "Hmm, I know, actually I just wanted you to be among the top ten..."

Lin Xianshu's eyes flickered, "Why would you think that?"

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart pounded, this veteran of the romance fields was also embarrassed for a moment, finally Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Because, when I enter the Immortal Realm, I hope to see you there."

Wang Xiaoqiang finished speaking and, without daring to glance at Lin Xianshu again, turned and walked away.

Lin Xianshu's expression froze, her heart trembled, and her delicate body shuddered...

Her beautiful eyes gazed at the receding figure, and a faint sweetness rippled through her heart.

Having won this match, Lin Xianshu had made it into the top ten.

Also entering the top ten were Qii Jingtian and Zhao Wushuang. Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang was among them too.

The competition continued.

Unfortunately, in the next round, Lin Xianshu was defeated by an expert in the Late Golden Core Stage, just managing to rank tenth, which fortunately qualified her to train in the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm had always been a place Lin Xianshu longed for.

Finally, the top four were decided.

Within the top four, from the Taiyi Sect was only Wang Xiaoqiang; the Penglai Immortal Sect had two, Yun Xiu and the Penglai Immortal's prime disciple, Mu Changfeng.

Mount Hua Sword Sect had one, named Zhu Yu.

Next, the matches to rank the first, second, and third places began.

Wang Xiaoqiang's opponent turned out to be Yun Xiu.

Originally, Yun Xiu was a chess piece arranged by Jiang Tianpeng to eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang during the competition, but now that they were truly facing each other on the stage, Yun Xiu had no confidence at all, not to mention killing Wang Xiaoqiang, even winning was difficult.

Below the stage, everyone was discussing that Yun Xiu was at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, and Wang Xiaoqiang was at the Mid Golden Core Stage; by this logic, Yun Xiu should easily defeat Wang Xiaoqiang. However, no one below the stage believed this.

That's because Wang Xiaoqiang was too cunning. In his last two matches, Wang Xiaoqiang hardly made a move. When his opponent had exhausted all their moves, he effortlessly defeated them and forced them down from the stage.

Yun Xiu was a person with a firm will, and though he dreaded Wang Xiaoqiang, his heart was not in disarray. He then took out his magic treasure, the Jade Flute.

Without further ado, he vibrated the Jade Flute. Shimmering with light, it shot rapidly towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang had previously encountered Yun Xiu and knew that although he appeared righteous, he was capable of dirty tricks. Moreover, his relationship as a disciple to Jiang Tianpeng could be detrimental to him, so at this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang did not dare to be negligent and immediately invoked his Holy Flame Sword.

Boom!

The next moment...

The Jade Flute and the Holy Flame Sword collided.

Though it was just a gentle collision, the sound waves and force generated were extraordinary, as this battle was between experts and was certainly not ordinary.

However, this move was merely a probe.

"Seven-Color Spirit Flute Kill!" Retracting the Jade Flute, Yun Xiu, without a moment's hesitation, pointed his finger, and from the seven holes of the flute, shot out seven beams of light—red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet—like seven sword energies, and they all shot towards Wang Xiaoqiang simultaneously.

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart shuddered, and outside his body, five hundred Spirit Springs formed a thick Spirit Spring Giant Shield in front of him.

The next moment...

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~~~~~

The seven-colored light smashed into the five-colored, flowing giant shield, causing the Spirit Spring Giant Shield to shake violently, but it did not break through the Five Elements Spirit Spring.

Seeing that his "Seven-Color Spirit Flute Kill" also failed to pose even the slightest threat to Wang Xiaoqiang, Yun Xiu felt a twinge of frustration, but he did not give up. Instead, he put the Jade Flute to his mouth and blew once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times...

He blew seven times in succession.

Each time, a stream of light akin to a swift arrow burst from the flute, shooting rapidly towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang could not afford to be careless, as the previous Seven-Color Kill, though it did not break through the Spirit Spring Giant Shield, had still left him feeling a surge of turbulence in his blood. Seeing the opponent using a varied strategy, which seemed more formidable than the previous Seven-Color Kill, he immediately released another two hundred Spirit Springs from his body, retaining only fifteen Spirit Springs inside. Thus, the seven hundred Spirit Springs outside formed a thick shield as solid as a mountain in front of him.

The next moment...

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang~~~~~~

The seven streams of light struck one after another on the Spirit Spring Giant Shield. The seemingly small streams of light managed to sway the giant shield from side to side, indicating the formidable power and penetrating force they possessed.

Ultimately, the seven streams of light still could not break through Wang Xiaoqiang's Spirit Spring Giant Shield.

Yun Xiu stared in shock at the scene before him, and so did the crowd beneath the stage, wondering how Wang Xiaoqiang could withstand such sharp attacks without even moving.

While everyone was still puzzling over this, Wang Xiaoqiang, driven by his willpower, drew all six hundred Spirit Springs back into his body. Amidst roaring sounds, spiritual power swirled around him. With an ordinary-looking palm strike, Wang Xiaoqiang hurled forward, instantly forming a Five-Color Spiritual Qi Palm the size of a sieve on his hand, which swiftly surged towards Yun Xiu.

Fear engulfed Yun Xiu's eyes as his body instinctively and alertly drifted backwards.

Boom!

But he was a step too slow.

The Five-Color Spiritual Qi Palm, faster than his movements, landed squarely on his chest.

Yun Xiu was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, his body trembling as he plummeted towards the ground below the stage, blood spewing from his seven orifices.

Just as Yun Xiu was about to hit the ground, a figure dashed out like a specter and caught him—it was none other than Jiang Tianpeng. Jiang Tianpeng caught Yun Xiu's body, immediately pried open his mouth, and poured a handful of red pills into it, like pouring beans. After doing all this, he finally threw a glance at Wang Xiaoqiang on the stage and bellowed angrily, "A match on the stage should stop at a point, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, aiming to take a life with your first move..."

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed towards Jiang Tianpeng, "Hahaha~~~ There are no eyes on fists and feet on the stage, and life and death are each by destiny. Actually, I had already shown mercy, otherwise, what you would be catching wouldn't be a person, but a pile of mush~~~"

After delivering the palm strike, Wang Xiaoqiang released the six hundred Spirit Springs from his body, so at this moment, he still appeared to be at the Mid Golden Core Cultivation.
