First Round, Victory!

"The first round of the competition has ended. The five-second countdown has begun."

Five, four, three, two, one.

As Hua Qiang and Zhao Zhiqing killed the Crimson Flame Python, this sound echoed through the Secret Realm.

Swish!

The two were pushed out of the Secret Realm by a mysterious force and returned to the stone platform in front of the sect.

Swish!

At the same time, Lan Zizhu and Jia Bing were also thrown out from inside. The two looked completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Yun Tianxing stood up, walked to the four people, glanced at them, and then fixed his eyes on Hua Qiang.

The more I looked at it, the more surprises I found, as if I had discovered a priceless treasure.

Hua Qiang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the old man, but Liu Piaoxu came over in time to relieve his embarrassment.

"Congratulations!"

Those two simple words conveyed a sense of relief and joy in his voice.

"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Zhiqing quickly expressed her gratitude.

Liu Piaoxu looked Hua Qiang up and down again, and said sincerely, "Not bad, young man, you have a bright future!"

Hua Qiang smiled and nodded.

Many elders gathered around, scrutinizing Hua Qiang, smiling and nodding with goodwill on their faces.

Hua Qiang understood perfectly well that he had failed to impress them with his performance in the Secret Realm.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, as he was a junior and a disciple of the sect, and naturally had to show respect to his elders.

It took Lan Zizhu and Jia Bing a long time to understand what was being said, and then they looked at Zhao Zhiqing and Hua Qiang.

He clenched his teeth, and the muscles on his face contorted slightly.

They hadn't expected their opponents to kill the final boss so quickly. They had thought they had a winning hand, but they'd lost the first round so easily, and they were very unwilling to accept it.

Especially Jia Bing, who is True Immortal Realm cultivator, and who had previously boasted and made grand promises to help Lan Zizhu win this round.

He was very unhappy that he lost to Hua Qiang.

Most importantly, Hua Qiang ruined his good deed!

To ruin someone's good deeds is like killing one's parents; such hatred is irreconcilable and will never end!

"Zhao Zhiqing wins the first match!" Yun Tianxing announced the outcome of the match on the spot.

"The first round of competition is over for today. Both contestants should go back and get some rest. The second round will begin tomorrow!"

After the sect's higher-ups had all left, Lan Zizhu approached Zhao Zhiqing with an unfriendly gaze. "Tomorrow, I will definitely not lose to you!"

Then, she looked at Hua Qiang and said fiercely, "You're very good, daring to ruin my good time. You better watch yourself!"

"Spider Demoness, how dare you! You dare to openly threaten my teammate in front of so many sect disciples! Do you really think the sect's laws are just for show?"

The disciples, who had not yet dispersed and were unaware of what had happened on the platform, stopped and turned their attention to Zhao Zhiqing when they heard her words.

Lan Zizhu hadn't expected Zhao Zhiqing to pull this stunt. After her initial shock, she shrugged and spread her hands, saying shamelessly, "What did I say? I was just reminding this junior brother to be careful."

Even people sometimes get water stuck between their teeth, and people sometimes slip and fall. There are even cases of people choking to death while snoring in their sleep. Shouldn't this junior brother be worried?

"You--"

Zhao Zhiqing was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.

This woman is shameless.

Hua Qiang smiled indifferently, "Okay, senior sister, thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention."

However, none of what you just mentioned will happen to me. Even if someone tries to sabotage me behind my back, I'm not afraid.

If you feel you still want to do what you've done before, then go ahead and do it. Let's see who has the last laugh!

"Holy crap! Junior brother is awesome!"

The disciples below all secretly gave Hua Qiang a thumbs up.

This junior brother is quite something, actually going head-to-head with the Lan Zizhu. He truly is a fearless young calf!

Doesn't he know this person is the type to hold a grudge?

Didn't she know that she had an extremely protective master behind her?

Furthermore, you're only Outer Sect Disciple, yet you dare to confront a true disciple so directly. Aren't you afraid she'll make things difficult for you and secretly sabotage you?

They're still young!

Back at their residence, Wenren Yu ran over excitedly and said, "Brother, congratulations on your first victory!"

Hua Qiang smiled and ruffled her hair.

"You should congratulate your senior sister; it wasn't me."

"Hehehe, Senior Sister, then I've already congratulated you!"

Hua Qiang nodded and said, "Go and focus on your cultivation, and strive to become stronger as soon as possible!"

"Um!"

Wenren Yu nodded and quickly ran into her room, beginning her journey to become stronger.

To prevent malicious acts, Hua Qiang had his third Clone stay in his room, while his main body returned to the Small World to reunite with his parents, wife, children, and other family members.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in the air of this Small World is becoming increasingly concentrated, and it is transforming into a fairyland.

Thanks to the efforts of the Life Divine Tree, the Spiritual Power within everyone's bodies gradually transformed into Immortal Essence.

Ye Bingxue was the fastest to transform. Although she was heavily pregnant, most of her Saint Essence had already been transformed into Immortal Essence, and she would soon advance to the Immortal Human Immortal Realm.

Of course, the two little ones are an exception.

Hua Qiang sensed the fetus inside her womb and immediately beamed with joy.

This little guy is already an Immortal Fetus; once born, he will be at the starting point of the Human Immortal Realm.

"Daddy, Daddy, shall we go hunting?"

Hua Sijun ran towards Hua Qiang on her short legs, calling out excitedly.

Hua Xiaoyao followed behind her, and although he didn't speak, the burning passion in his eyes betrayed his current state of mind.

Although the two little ones are only two or three years old, they are much taller than ordinary children. At this moment, they are running around freely and do not need anyone to accompany or take care of them.

Hua Qiang's parents and wives all knew that these two little devils had become immortals, and they were both envious and jealous at the same time.

At this moment, they also longed for the moment when they would Human Immortal Realm and wanted to go out and see the world.

Mo Yanran quickly ran over and said, "Xiaoyao, Si Jun, stop fooling around. Dad just got back and is a little tired. Let him rest."

Hua Qiang quickly replied, "Yanran, I'm not tired. Since they want to go out and have fun, I'll naturally fulfill their request!"

After saying goodbye to everyone, he took the two little ones and headed into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to begin their hunting trip.

This time, Hua Qiang brought out the White Dragon Horse and the Lightning Thunder Roc.

One served as the mount for the two little ones, while the other was responsible for scouting out the beasts' movements.

Both of them were still at the Human Immortal First Layer, and could only fight level one demonic beasts.

Quickly, thanks to the efforts of the Lightning Thunder Roc, they located a mudflat where weeds thrived, and there were many level one rabbits and pheasants, as well as spiders and scorpions.
