On the ice field.
The blazing flames bathed the earth.
Ji Shao, his body wreathed in flames, looked at the woman not far away and spoke.
"Ji Yushao, you have disappointed me greatly."
"The Ji Family will perish because of you!"
Ji Yushao was the Ji Family Saintess. A ring of fresh water circled her fingers, and her eyes, like gemstones, looked Pride at Ji Shao.
"Extinction? How could that be?"
"I am now the Holy Maiden, I have a share in the family's power, and I have the authority to change everything."
"You, Ji Shao, are merely vying for the position of Holy Maiden, and you're simply Envy of me."
Ji Shao remained silent; she knew that the woman before her was no longer willing to listen to anything.
How could she dare to associate with this group of holy sons and daughters?
The Ji Family will be annihilated sooner or later by these forces, just like a husky mixed into a wolf pack. The Ji Family is forced to make a choice because of this holy maiden.
"Ji Yushao, you wanted the power, and I've given it to you."
"I must have been mistaken, I'm blind."
I didn't expect you to be an Authority Holder seeker.
"Disregarding family and relatives, all he cared about was power."
"I'll put an end to your hopes today!"
In an instant, raging flames engulfed the entire sky.
The snow has begun to melt.
Ji Yushao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Ji Shao, you are no match for me."
"You should know that my power is the Spring of All Things."
"You are nothing but a Lava Flame, how dare you fight me?"
With a slight twitch of her finger, droplets of water splashed up on the ground and gathered together.
"Go!"
As if it had gained self-awareness, the water coalesced into clusters of weapons, rapidly hurtling towards Ji Shao.
Empty~empty~
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out continuously.
The flames were instantly pierced, but the water-based weapons within the crack did not slow down in the slightest.
Ji Shao snorted coldly.
With a clap of his hand, it was as if a fiery palm appeared in the sky, instantly evaporating the water-based martial arts.
She looked at Ji Yuzhao and said, "Everything in the universe has its counter, but water and fire are simply incompatible."
Just like you and me.
"You're just lucky to have a relatively good talent."
Suddenly, a beam of golden light descended from the sky.
Ji Mumu's eyes shone with dazzling golden light, like a deity watching over everything from the sky.
White mist began to rise from the ground.
That's water; the snow is starting to evaporate due to the high temperature.
Ji Yushao naturally noticed it, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
In an instant, she knew what the two people in front of her wanted to do, evaporating all the water around her, which weakened her power by more than half.
But she never said she was alone!
As Ji Mumu was still radiating sunlight, a man in a white trench coat calmly stepped into the air and appeared in front of Ji Mumu in a flash.
With a "bang".
Ji Mumu was instantly knocked down.
The man in the sky stared at Ji Shao and the other woman with lifeless eyes, his tone indifferent.
"The Ji Family shouldn't have interfered in this Academy Tournament."
"The qualifications are too low."
Not only was Ji Shao stunned, but Ji Yushao was also taken aback.
He meant the Ji Family, and all three of them were members of the Ji Family.
The man raised his hand, and it was as if a whirlwind had swept across the world. He looked in one direction and murmured...
"Gu Changkong? It seems the Daoist Family have also made their move."
"It seems today that Gu Xingyun was right; the Secret Realm was sealed off, making these geniuses wait for the arrival of a chaotic era."
But is it really as you think?
He vanished in an instant, showing little interest in the people below.
Ji Yushao was stunned...
What's wrong with today's Academy Tournament? She always looks forward to Academy Tournament, but today it seems to be quite different from what she expected.
Ji Shao glanced at Ji Mumu behind him and breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't seriously injured. He hadn't expected that the man had such powerful strength with just one strike; he was truly terrifying.
It should be the Su Family Saint Son, but it seems that man has left and doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Ji Family.
This made things easier for her; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to lead Ji Mumu against the two Holy Sons.
Suddenly, a water spike shot up from the ground.
Ji Shao reacted quickly, stepping back and looking at Ji Yushao not far away.
"Since that's the case, let's settle things today."
Boom! Boom!
The roaring sound continued.
The black and red objects kept colliding in the air.
Fragments of the blood-soaked armor continued to fall from the sky.
The Shi Family Saint Son had a mad glint in his eyes, and the trident in his hand was already stained with his own blood.
"Come on, let's continue!"
"It's been so long, so very long... I haven't had this much fun playing."
"It's fine if you take this championship; only the strong deserve the title of champion."
Li Chen gripped the Demon Blade, his face covered in black lines—the effects of energy overload were beginning to show on his skin.
In this state, he becomes extremely terrifying.
Everything around me, from the energy to the air, seemed to be Distortion.
He dared not use the Forbidden Power, for fear of going completely berserk.
At this moment, the murmuring voice began to echo in his mind, whispering like a demon.
"Mutation... Mutation..."
Li Chen's eyes were completely calm as he murmured, "Shut up."
He knew all too well that this was the temptation of the Eldritch God. Just once could allow his body to be completely possessed by the Eldritch God, granting him power but causing him to lose consciousness, and possibly even losing control of his body forever.
He had already experienced that feeling a few hours earlier.
At least he won't Mutation again unless he's in dire straits.
This is a trump card, but it's also the most threatening one.
Suddenly, the Shi Family Saint Son moved, his figure swift.
In an instant~
An invisible white mist also spread through the air.
Li Chen frowned slightly, his body trembled, and all the mist dissipated.
The Shi Family Saint Son was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, a red light appeared in the sky.
Li Chen raised his head slightly and saw that the blood of the Shi Family Saint Son was flowing continuously, but he used his ability to fuse it.
The Shi Family Saint Son had a slightly dimmed look in his eyes. His Blood Demon Armor was already shattered. He stared at the blood that was still merging before him and murmured to himself.
Forbidden Curse Demonic Blood.
"I'm running low on blood; I'll die if this continues."
"But it was worth it..."
A great deal of blood was spilled.
The fused blood instantly imbued the trident with a blood-red color, making it resemble a demonic weapon.
The Shi Family Saint Son closed his eyes and said, "You're quite good, at least in the Academy Tournament, you're one of the better opponents I've encountered."
"I know I'll lose today, but I'll at least skin you alive!!"
A thunderous sound rang out.
This isn't the sound of drums; it's the sound of a heartbeat.
Red mist continuously emanated from the body of the Shi Family Saint Son, and his eyes suddenly opened, turning blood red. He gripped the demonic weapon in his hand and stared intently at Li Chen.
With a loud "boom".
The air itself was sonic booming from being stepped on.
His figure moved, like a killing machine; his blood demon aura dyed the entire sky red.
Blood burning fiercely.
