Because he possessed the innate divine ability Qianyuan Undying Jade-Pure Mystic Light, Zhao Ruoming's injuries healed far faster than those of other cultivators.
The moment he had recuperated, he immediately began searching for Chi Jiuyu.
After all, this was already the penultimate round. The contestants were each stronger than the last—if he did not act now, he would truly have no chance to win back his pride!
Fortunately, once he learned that Lin Changsheng and Yue Zhongfeng had come to blows, he guessed that Chi Jiuyu would definitely go watch the excitement.
And reality was just as he had expected.
Though in some sense, he was still a little late...
He had made it in the end!
'Brother Dog?' Chi Jiuyu glanced back.
"Chi Jiuyu! Do you dare compete with me again?!" The words he had held in for so long finally burst forth.
Zhao Ruoming felt the pent-up gloom in his heart dissipate, even his spiritual power circulating a little more smoothly as a result.
Yet just as he was full of anticipation, preparing to compete with Chi Jiuyu again and reclaim his dignity...
"Go play somewhere else!" Chi Jiuyu merely tossed out those words.
Then she merged with her sword light and continued charging toward the trace of sword intent she sensed.
Go... play somewhere else?
As Zhao Ruoming stood there stunned, the sword light had already vanished completely from sight.
"..."
She had ignored him?!
This...
This Chi Jiuyu...
What gave her the right...
Only after a long while did Zhao Ruoming finally come back to himself. Once he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, his gaze grew ever more resolute.
No!
He had to follow her!
Mystic light rose again as he prepared to continue after her.
Whoosh~!
A thread of true fire lit up
