Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 46 The Tragic Ruan Fei, the 7th Prince Enters the Trap

"Damn, they still couldn't beat that kid?!"

On the viewing platform, Ruan Fei felt a tightness in his chest.

Li Wudao was just a hair's breadth away from being defeated, but he still lost?

"Damn it, I refuse to believe that so many of us can't kill you!"

He muttered curses under his breath and took out a communication jade slip to urge the others to go on stage.

"Fang Yue, you go! Don't give that kid a chance to breathe, take him down in one go!"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ruan, this boy is at his last gasp. I will definitely defeat him!"

........

The fourth person stepped onto the stage and launched a fierce attack on Li Wudao.

Fang Yue was also at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, and he used all his strength from the start, intending to finish the battle quickly.

Li Wudao fought and retreated, his breath coming in short gasps and his face gradually turning pale under the opponent's ferocious attacks, as if he was really struggling to hold on.

"Good! That's how it should be, this kid's about to collapse!"

Ruan Fei and Sun Qian cheered inwardly, their eyes shining with the light of victory.

If this continues, Li Wudao will surely be defeated in just a few moves.

However, what they found frustrating was...

Two hundred moves had passed, and Li Wudao was still full of energy. Although he was at a disadvantage, he remained standing and barely managed to block many of Fang Yue's attacks.

Another few dozen moves passed.

Li Wudao deliberately lured his opponent to the edge of the arena.

He dodged the attack hastily, then kicked him away, yelling, "Go!"

"......"

Everyone was stunned.

This victory was somewhat hasty.

The two were just locked in a fierce battle, how did it suddenly become a decisive battle?

Many disciples had strange expressions. Li Wudao was about to lose, but he won in this way.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether to marvel at Li Wudao's incredible luck or Fang Yue's terrible luck.

"Damn it! Fang Yue is a good-for-nothing, more trouble than he's worth!"

Enraged and humiliated, Ruan Fei slammed his fist into the ground.

"hiss--"

As a result, the next moment his face contorted in pain, he grimaced and his fists became red and swollen.

Seeing this scene,

The other disciples nearby all looked at him strangely, as if he were an idiot.

The paving stones in the square and the training ground are made of special materials that are difficult to damage even for a Martial King. How could an inner disciple like him possibly cause such damage?

"Ahhh! Damn it!"

Ruan Fei felt utterly ashamed and inwardly screamed with helplessness as his hatred for Li Wudao rapidly intensified.

"Song Cheng, you go! You can only win, you can't afford to lose!"

He shouted angrily into the communication jade slip, unable to bear it any longer, and directly dispatched his strongest expert, a True Essence Realm early stage expert.

"Don't worry, I can beat him with one hand!"

A confident and sharp response came from the jade slip.

Before long, Song Cheng and Li Wudao were locked in fierce combat.

"How can this kid have such stamina?"

As time went on, the former's expression gradually turned ugly.

It should be noted that Li Wudao had already fought several battles, and should have been exhausted by now.

Moreover, he suppressed his cultivation level to the peak of the Blood Refining Realm. With his three years of combat experience, how could he not be able to crush his opponent and win under these circumstances?

Now, let alone winning with one hand, even using both hands and feet together might not guarantee victory.

"What kind of freak is this guy...? No, he's deliberately hiding his strength!"

Suddenly, Song Cheng's pupils contracted, realizing something.

In fact, the young man in front of us is not at the Blood Transformation Realm at all, but at the True Essence Realm!

Only in this way can all of this be explained.

Thinking of this, Song Cheng's face darkened. He had been so confident just moments before, but now he was in a difficult situation.

He stared intently at Li Wudao, his mind in turmoil.

Unexpectedly, Li Wudao was also at the True Essence Realm, just like him.

Keep in mind that he has been an inner disciple for three years, while the former has only been one for three months!

"I have no choice but to give it my all. I hope I won't be recognized by the sect's higher-ups."

Song Cheng gritted his teeth and released the aura of the True Yuan Realm.

At this moment, to win, we must unleash all our forces; only then will we have a chance.

On the high platform,

The sect leader and the others were looking at a certain arena with great interest, nodding in satisfaction from time to time.

At this moment, Jiang Churan stood quietly on the number one arena, her calm gaze looking elsewhere, her clothes spotless, her demeanor exceptional.

She has already defeated ten challengers.

Each time, he defeated his opponent with a single punch, winning without any suspense. As a result, after waiting for an incense stick to burn, no disciple dared to challenge him.

Compared to Jiang Churan, the performance of the other disciples was rather unsatisfactory, and the gap was too obvious.

Even Qi Xingyu was only slightly more eye-catching, but still couldn't compare to the girl.

"This girl truly lives up to her Heavenly Qualities; she's already entered the True Essence Realm so quickly."

"This girl is more than just a True Yuan Realm cultivator; in my opinion, her aura is no weaker than that of a late-stage True Yuan Realm cultivator!"

"Hiss! No wonder he was able to win in one move. His talent is truly terrifying. He is probably comparable to the top ten prodigies of the sect ten thousand years ago."

“I think it’s more than that. Jiang has only been in the sect for a short time, and her potential has not yet been fully realized. She has a chance to surpass the prodigies of recent times in the future.”

"Indeed, I also have high hopes for this girl. Perhaps she can lead the Xuantian Sect out of its current predicament and back to glory."

"The sect leader has taken on a fine disciple; we are truly envious..."

Many elders praised him lavishly, but also complained to Murong Yan with a mixture of admiration and envy.

Murong Yan was also very satisfied with Jiang Churan, and smiled with a radiant face.

This disciple's talent far surpasses that of Wu Shaotian, and his future achievements are limitless.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Churan had only been in the sect for a short time and lacked experience, she would have been appointed as the young sect leader long ago.

"Om-"

Suddenly, the aura of the True Essence Realm erupted from Arena No. 6, instantly attracting the attention of many high-ranking members.

So far, the strongest disciple among all the challengers is only at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, which is far from the True Essence Realm.

"Hmm? An inner disciple has actually broken through to the True Essence Realm! Could it be that a genius was overlooked during the entrance examination?"

Murong Yan's scrutinizing gaze fell on Song Cheng, his expression trembling slightly.

Judging from the young man's attire, he is undoubtedly an inner disciple.

But immediately,

He frowned slightly. "Something's not right. This kid's bone age is at least 19, and why does he seem so familiar?"

With these questions in mind, Murong Yan inquired with the elders present.

The elders whispered among themselves, looked at each other, and all said they didn't recognize him.

The Xuantian Sect recruits so many inner disciples each time, but has fewer than a hundred elders. Most inner disciples do not have a dedicated master and can only listen in on public classes.

However, no one noticed.

Several elders fell silent, their eyes filled with panic.

"What's going on with Song Cheng here?! What happened...?"

Ruan Liangcai's old face changed repeatedly, and his heart sank.

He is the third elder of the inner sect, and Song Cheng is an inner sect disciple he took in three years ago.

If an older disciple dares to disrupt the newcomer competition, and is found out, even he will be in serious trouble.

"Song Cheng, who gave you the audacity...?"

Ruan Liangcai secretly rebuked him and demanded an explanation.

When he learned that everything was at the behest of his beloved son, his old face froze.

"What? This unfilial son... he's utterly outrageous! He's really going to cause me trouble!"

His heart was pounding and his breathing was rapid.

This son is a total disaster for his father!

If Ruan Fei's actions are exposed, his father will also be implicated.

At best, his salary would be reduced; at worst, he would be dismissed from his position.

Ruan Liangcai's forehead was covered in black lines, and he cursed Ruan Fei in his heart.

But despite the criticism, they still have to clean up the mess.

After all, he had a son late in life, and Ruan Fei was his only son. He couldn't just abandon him no matter what.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, Song Cheng... is my disciple."

Ruan Liangcai steeled himself and stepped forward, trying to keep his tone calm, though he felt like he was walking on thin ice.

Fortunately,

Murong Yan didn't delve into it, nodding nonchalantly, "Oh? So he's the Third Elder's beloved disciple. This boy is quite good; he can be properly nurtured."

"Master, you are too kind."

Ruan Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave the other elders a meaningful look. Besides him, there were several other elders who recognized Song Cheng.

Immediately, those elders who were still interested withdrew.

Although they didn't know why Song Cheng was there, since Ruan Liangcai had said so, they didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.

"What on earth is Song Cheng doing? Didn't he say he could win with one hand? How come he hasn't taken it down yet after all this time...?"

Ruan Fei watched the two fighters going back and forth on the stage, and he was so angry that his nose was crooked. He kept cursing them as trash.

"Could he really win?"

Sun Qian's expression also turned grim. Li Wudao's combat strength and endurance far exceeded expectations. He was like an unkillable cockroach, incredibly tenacious.

She clenched her fists tightly, staring intently at the boy on the number six stage, her heart pounding in her chest.

Aside from the two of them, everyone else who knew Li Wudao also had different expressions.

Qiu Zishi, Wang Zhao, and Jiang Churan looked on with some suspicion and puzzlement.

It shouldn't be.

They had a general idea of ​​Li Wudao's combat strength, and logically speaking, it shouldn't have been so difficult to deal with someone at the early stage of the True Essence Realm.

As for Qi Xingyu, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he was just short of laughing out loud in front of everyone.

After this battle, he was completely convinced of Li Wudao's strength and that he posed no threat to him whatsoever. He could now act with confidence and boldness!

"Heh, with your meager strength, you dare to compete with this prince for a woman? You're utterly absurd!"

Qi Xingyu sneered inwardly, a flash of murderous intent disappearing from his eyes.

With such strength, even he couldn't defeat them, so how could they possibly face a premeditated ambush?

This is it, Li Wudao is definitely doomed!
