Ascending to Middle-Level Martial Ancestor
When Hua Qiang saw Ye Bingxue injured and covered in blood, it was like a sharp blade piercing his heart, causing him to clench in pain and making it hard to breathe.
Despite the endless worry and anger surging within him, he had to suppress the urge to rush forward.
After all, this is a martial arts competition, and swords and spears have no eyes. Getting injured during a fight is a perfectly normal occurrence.
He knew that too much interference would not be conducive to Ye Bingxue's growth; she needed to grow stronger through such trials.
Wang Baoyuan's eyes instantly turned red. He and Hua Qiang were best friends and brothers, and he considered Ye Bingxue to be his own younger sister.
Seeing her in such a wretched state, he jumped up in a fit of rage, brandishing a large iron hammer, ready to charge at her.
"Damn it, I'm going to go up there and beat that bastard to death! How dare he hurt my Bing Xue Sister!"
Seeing this, Hua Qiang quickly grabbed him.
Wang Baoyuan struggled and said, "Brother Qiang, why are you holding me?"
Hua Qiang was both amused and exasperated by him. He raised his hand and gave him a hard slap, saying seriously, "This is a competition. If you rush in like this, you will not only break the rules, but also make Bing Xue's efforts go to waste."
She fought hard in the ring, all to prove herself!
We cannot let a moment of impulse cause her to lose everything she has achieved.
After saying that, Hua Qiang stared intently at the arena. Although Ye Bingxue looked miserable, her injuries were all superficial and did not affect any vital organs, let alone pose a life-threatening danger.
His current task is to keep a close eye on Ye Bingxue, and he will take immediate action as soon as he discovers anything that threatens her life.
Between ranking in the competition and life, it's obvious to everyone, even a fool!
The students watching from below the stage were heartbroken to see Ye Bingxue injured. They whispered among themselves and discussed the incident.
"Oh dear, Ye Bingxue is so powerful, how could she get injured?"
Damn it! Du Chunqiu, you're a complete bastard! How could you lay a hand on such a delicate young girl?
That's so cruel!
One student, his face full of worry, then angrily began to curse.
"Yeah, Ye Bingxue is our Goddess, how could we let him get hurt? That's not manly at all!"
A student next to him clenched his fists, staring intently at Ye Bingxue on the stage, and angrily condemned her.
"Brother, this is a duel, not child's play. Injuries are inevitable!"
A classmate nearby couldn't stand it and spoke up in defense.
"You damn pockmarked Pockmark, say that again and see if I don't beat you up!"
The student who had previously angrily condemned Du Chunqiu became furious upon hearing that this person was actually defending Du Chunqiu.
I'll roll up my sleeves and, if the other party dares to argue again, I'll beat them to a pulp.
"Sigh! I wonder if Junior Sister Ye is badly injured. This competition is too cruel." Another student sighed softly.
"I think Ye Bingxue will definitely pull through. She's so strong, she won't be defeated easily," a woman said firmly, her eyes filled with admiration for Ye Bingxue.
"Ye Bingxue, you Non-Self. You'd better just admit defeat!"
Seeing that he had beaten Ye Bingxue to a bloody mess with just one move, Du Chunqiu's face was full of smugness.
He crossed his arms, a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if victory was already assured.
"Snort!"
Ye Bingxue snorted coldly, her eyes full of stubbornness.
"You want me to admit defeat? Dream on!"
Although the voice was somewhat weak, it was extremely firm.
The next moment, her aura suddenly changed, and the air on the stage seemed to drop several degrees.
A bone-chilling cold instantly spread, sending shivers down one's spine.
Hold head high--
A colossal Ice Dragon slowly appeared behind her. The dragon was crystal clear, as if it had been sculpted from the purest Bing Xue.
The Ice Dragon let out a long roar that was deafening, as if it were about to pierce the clouds.
Immediately, its body coiled around and enveloped Ye Bingxue, forming an indestructible shield.
A burst of white energy shot out from the Ice Dragon's mouth, like dazzling starlight, and instantly entered Ye Bingxue's body.
Ye Bingxue's wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those shocking wounds gradually disappeared, leaving only shallow traces.
Her aura was gradually rising, and the surrounding air was stirred by her breath, forming tiny vortexes.
Hua Qiang's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, then he was overjoyed. This was a breakthrough on the spot!
The next moment, a loud bang resounded, and the air vibrated as if the entire world was trembling.
Ye Bingxue broke through and reached the Middle-Level Martial Ancestor.
She exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to look at her. Her eyes were filled with strong confidence and supreme majesty, like a queen who was high above.
At this moment, she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, becoming a completely different person from before.
Du Chunqiu was surprised that Ye Bingxue would break through on the spot. The aura emanating from her made him feel great pressure.
At this moment, his expression also became serious, no longer showing the ease and comfort he had before.
"Du Chunqiu, thank you for injuring me, otherwise I wouldn't have gained such a reward. In return, I will show you my powerful attack!"
Ye Bingxue expressed her gratitude in a very calm tone, and then she waved her hands repeatedly, making several hand gestures.
The Ice Dragon coiled around her suddenly raised its head, let out a long roar, and swirled and rolled in the air. Then, it stretched out its giant claws and struck Du Chunqiu with a devastating blow.
Du Chunqiu's eyes sharpened; he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and a powerful force surged from his body into the sword.
Then the Longsword drew circles.
A huge shield radiating brilliant light appeared in front of Du Chunqiu, attempting to block the giant claws of the Ice Dragon.
The moment the giant claw collided with the shield, a deafening roar erupted like thunder, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards.
Du Chunqiu felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body involuntarily retreated.
But he gritted his teeth and desperately maintained the shield, preventing it from breaking.
Seeing that her attack had worked, Ye Bingxue waved her hands again and let out a soft shout.
As if receiving new instructions, the Ice Dragon took to the air once more, circling in mid-air.
The Bing Xue light emanating from the dragon grew even brighter, and the chilling aura seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Seeing that the giant dragon seemed to be preparing a powerful attack, Du Chunqiu felt a little flustered and decided to take the initiative to attack.
Suddenly, he raised his Longsword and slashed fiercely at the giant dragon circling in the air.
[Twin Extremes Sword]
Du Chunqiu shouted, and the Longsword in his hand flew out of his hand, transforming into two swords, one large and one small, in mid-air, which he fiercely slashed at the giant dragon.
