The Twenty-Sixth Battle, an Extra Match!

"Is it my turn to go on?"

Upon hearing her name called by the Optical Computer, Ruan Liusu immediately headed towards the combat zone.

Ruan Liusu's opponent, Meng Zhao Chen Lie, had met him before. He was not at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi. With Ruan Liusu's strength, dealing with him should be a piece of cake.

Meanwhile, in the rest area, Ning Fan heard the notification that it was his turn to go on stage. Seeing that Wang Shou was using his Innate Primordial Qi to expel toxins from him and had not yet finished, he immediately told Wang Shou to stop the process.

"President Wang, that's enough for now, it's my turn!"

Wang Shou finished his practice and asked, "Are you sure you don't feel any discomfort?"

"No!"

"I hope nothing happens. You can go on stage now!" Wang Shou said.

Ning Fan nodded and went to the combat zone for True Qi Martial Artist.

Inside the battle zone for martial Martial Artist, both sides, Ruan Liusu and Meng Zhao, took to the stage.

Meng Zhao looked at Ruan Liusu and said calmly, "So you're the replacement player for Blue Star?"

Ruan Liusu did not answer Meng Zhao. She observed that Meng Zhao did not have the signs of Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow, indicating that this person was only at the Small Extreme Realm Blood-Qi Like Slurry.

Although she is not yet at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, her true strength is already enough to deal with Mortal Aperture Stage Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow stage. Wouldn't dealing with this person from Wood Source Planet be a piece of cake?

"Hmph, a mere backup option, a nobody, how dare you ignore me?"

Enraged, Meng Zhao swung his fist the moment he heard the announcement that "the contest has begun," unleashing a tremendous force of tens of thousands of pounds towards Ruan Liusu.

"Boom!"

Ruan Liusu retaliated, unleashing the S-rank martial art Thousand Spirit Revolving Palm.

She had only unleashed half of her palm strike when she suddenly Meng Zhao flying.

"What? You're at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi?"

After being easily blasted away by Ruan Liusu's palm strike, Meng Zhao instantly realized that his opponent Ruan Liusu's strength was far beyond that of someone in the Blood Refining Stage.

Are the Blue Star crazy? Why would they include someone with such low strength as a candidate?

Ruan Liusu remained silent as she continued to unleash her martial arts, striking out with powerful palm strikes.

"Boom!"

A series of consecutive palm strikes left Meng Zhao no chance to react before he was knocked out of the combat zone and fell outside.

"The twentieth battle, the battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

Blue Star Ruan Liusu defeated Wood Source Planet Meng Zhao Ruan Liusu, increasing Blue Star Blue Star's score by one.

On the holographic projection, Blue Star's score changed from 9 to 10, giving it a one-point lead over Wood Source Planet.

Ruan Liusu stepped off the battlefield, thinking to herself that this point came easily because Meng Zhao of Wood Source Planet was no match for her in strength.

From the moment she stepped onto the stage, Ruan Liusu was extremely cautious, daring not to be careless in the slightest. Even when facing opponents who were not as strong as herself, she put on a show of giving it her all.

My boyfriend won so well just now, wouldn't it be so embarrassing if I lost?

The twentieth battle, a battle of vital energy, had just ended when the twenty-first battle began.

"The Twenty-First Battle: The Battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

Blue Star Xia Zhizhi vs. Wood Source Planet Yue Shan.

"Two-star contestants must immediately enter the arena for the duel; those who do not enter the arena within 100 seconds will be considered to have automatically forfeited."

On the other side, in the battle zone for those at the True Qi Stage.

Meng Qingwan and Ning Fan have completed their mutual probing.

Meng Qingwan narrowed her eyes, holding her long sword horizontally in front of her chest, an invisible sword aura spreading throughout the entire battle area.

"Ning Fan from Blue Star, let me see just how much you're worth, and whether you're worthy of being my opponent!"

"You may not be qualified to be my opponent!" Ning Fan said calmly.

"Hmph, how arrogant! Prepare to die!"

Meng Qingwan brandished her long sword, unleashing a series of sword techniques as she attacked Ning Fan.

"Splash!"

In a flash of sword light, Meng Qingwan appeared before Ning Fan. She raised her sword and slashed down, the sword light flashing like a dragon.

"Boom boom boom!"

Seeing Meng Qingwan charging towards him, Ning Fan showed no mercy, unleashing a Xuan-grade martial skill, with white, black, and green true True Qi intertwining and clashing.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled, actually cultivating the three Five Elements True Qi of metal, water, and wood."

Meng Qingwan changed her sword technique, and a sword intent spread out.

"Longwind Sword Art!"

With a single slash of her sword, an incredibly powerful sword aura instantly descended upon Ning Fan's head.

"Boom boom boom!"

Ning Fan used his martial arts skills to forcefully break through Meng Qingwan's sword energy and engaged in close combat with Meng Qingwan sword moves were constantly changing.

Within the battle zone, Meng Qingwan's sword energy sliced through the air, colliding and entangled with Ning Fan's three- Attribute True Qi. Her sword moves were unpredictable and dazzling.

The combined strength of the two Third-Order Qi Accumulation Realm Martial Artist was almost comparable to that of Seventh Tier Qi Refining into Gang Martial Artist in the Eastern Star Region.

The battle on the field shocked the spectators from Four-Sided Star Domain.

"So this is the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Star Region? He's truly impressive!"

"The strength these two have displayed is almost comparable to that of an ordinary Seventh-Order Martial Artist. It's truly unbelievable!"

The higher-ups of the Four-Sided Star Domain instructed the geniuses of this star, "Remember this, the two people currently fighting on the field are a Sword Cultivator who has comprehended sword intent and a martial arts genius who has cultivated the Five Elements True Qi into three types. These two will soon become your formidable rivals."

By carefully observing their battles and studying their martial arts, you can gain a thorough understanding of your opponents. In the future, even if you encounter them on the battlefield, you will not only have a significantly higher chance of winning, but you will also have the upper hand.

We must seize this opportunity, because only by becoming Permanent Councilor Star can we witness the clashes between the top young geniuses of the Eastern Star Region and have the chance to study their martial arts techniques."

The tens of thousands of martial arts students watching from Azure-Wave Prefecture were mostly at the Blood-Qi Stage, so they didn't pay much attention to the battles between True Qi Martial Artist.

On the high platform of the Hall of All Stars, the envoy of the Ten-Star Alliance was somewhat taken aback and commented. "These two are not bad. They are from the Eastern Star Region. One has a domain sword intent, and the other has cultivated the Five Elements True Qi into three types."

Even compared to the geniuses of the Ten-Star Alliance, he is almost on par.

"Both of these two are students at Starry Sky University. Back in the Eastern Star Region, the martial arts environment was certainly insufficient for them to achieve such success in martial arts. After entering Starry Sky University, although they have fewer resources than the students of the Ten-Star Alliance, at least their martial arts environment has improved."

"Of course, achieving such success in martial arts is truly remarkable," Wu Danchen said.

The participants from both Blue Star and Wood Source Planet are paying close attention to the True Qi Martial Artist combat zone.

Chief Secretary Muyuan Xingxing frowned as he looked at Ning Fan, who was performing normally on the battlefield, and couldn't help but suspect that Yang Jingnian's plan had failed.

The Martial Artist at the True Qi Stage on Blue Star cheered for Ning Fan, while those on Wood Source Planet also cheered for Meng Qingwan.

Within the battle zone, Meng Qingwan's sharp sword energy swept across the sky, her sword techniques numerous and overwhelming, leaving Ning Fan overwhelmed. In a short time, the two had already exchanged thousands of blows.

After several more rounds of fighting, Meng Qingwan's sword momentum surged. She raised her longsword, and countless sword shadows formed a sword aura filled with cold light.

"Longwind Sword Art, One Sword Annihilating the World!"

"Splash splash splash!"

A sword strike, seemingly capable of cleaving through space, descended, its energy swirling within the battle zone.

Faced with Meng Qingwan's fierce sword strike, Ning Fan's expression turned solemn. He dared not be careless and circulated his True Qi to the extreme, unleashing his martial arts skills with all his might.

"Behold my Xuan-grade martial skill, Seven-Star Qi Annihilation Hand!"

Ning Fan channeled his white, metallic True Qi into his fists, forcefully withstanding Meng Qingwan's fierce sword strike.

"Boom"

The powerful sword energy collided with the True Qi of metal, and the sound of explosions was deafening. A huge shockwave emanated from Ning Fan and Meng Qingwan and spread outwards.

"Break!"

Meng Qingwan mobilized all her True Qi, imbuing her True Qi with it, and unleashed the second strike.

Ning Fan remained calm and once again circulated his True Qi, intending to meet the attack head-on.

Just then, he suddenly frowned, feeling his internal True Qi become inexplicably disordered.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain that penetrated to the bone marrow came over him and spread to every part of his body in an instant, making him gasp in pain.

"Damn it, we must have fallen victim to that traitor Yang Jingnian's scheme!"

The serious problems in his body caused Ning Fan unbearable pain, his internal True Qi was in disarray, and his eight extraordinary meridians were being impacted, making it even more difficult for him to concentrate his strength.

At this moment, Meng Qingwan slashed with her sword, and the powerful and fierce sword energy instantly and irresistibly cut through Ning Fan's defenses.

"Boom!"

The aftershock of the sword energy struck Ning Fan's arm.

Damn it!

When the sword energy sliced straight into his arm, Ning Fan broke out in a cold sweat. Turning his head, he saw that his arm was already bleeding, and some of the bone was exposed.

Meng Qingwan sneered, "I thought you were so capable, but I've only just exerted myself and you can't hold on anymore. Die!"

Meng Qingwan raised her sword horizontally and swept it out, creating a huge wave of sword energy that sent Ning Fan flying out of the combat zone.

After tumbling several times in the air, Ning Fan barely managed to regain his balance and land on the ground.

Just then, the notification sound from the Optical Computer rang.

"The nineteenth battle, True Qi Martial Artist Battle."

Blue Star Ning Fan vs. Wood Source Planet Meng Qingwan, Wood Source Planet Meng Qingwan wins, Wood Source Planet's score increases by one.

On the holographic projection above the battle arena, the score of Wood Source Planet changed from 9 to "10", once again tying with Blue Star.

Ning Fan's sudden defeat puzzled many viewers. After some speculation, they simply concluded that his physique was inferior to Meng Qingwan's and that he lacked the strength to continue.

"The Twenty-Second Battle: True Qi Martial Artist Battle."

Blue Star Tang Yan'er vs. Wood Source Planet Sun Ruyi.

"Two-star contestants must immediately enter the arena for the duel; those who do not enter the arena within 100 seconds will be considered to have automatically forfeited."

As soon as the battle notification sounded, Tang Yan'er and Sun Ruyi went to the battle zone.

On the other side, Ning Fan, having regained his footing, quickly leaped into the rest area.

His True Qi was disordered, impacting his eight extraordinary meridians, causing him unbearable pain. He quickly sat down to regulate his breathing.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong with you?"

"You haven't even used your other martial skill or your Mental Power yet, how could you suddenly be defeated?"

Yu Wenqin came to Ning Fan's side and asked.

At this moment, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong arrived.

Seeing Yu Wenqin reach out to touch Ning Fan, Chen Lie walked over and said, "Don't touch him, he's been poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" Yu Wenqin was taken aback.

Lei Jinglong was furious. "I knew Wood Source Planet wouldn't just order that traitor Yang Jingnian to do that little thing, but I didn't expect them to actually poison us?"

"Chen Lie, do you know what kind of poison Ning Fan was given?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "He was poisoned by a drug called ' Violent Qi Powder '."

"If Martial Artist at the True Qi Realm is poisoned by this kind of poison, they cannot fully mobilize their True Qi; otherwise, their True Qi will become disordered, rushing backward through their meridians and causing excruciating pain, like ten thousand insects gnawing at their bones."

"How could Wood Source Planet be so despicable? They can't win on the front lines, so they resort to such underhanded tactics!"

Yu Wenqin said, "I knew it! How could Brother Ning be no match for Meng Qingwan? He was poisoned!"

The Martial Artist at the True Qi Stage echoed this sentiment.

"What can we do? Ning Fan has been poisoned. Who can deal with Meng Qingwan in the team battle later?"

Wang Shou then looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, since you know the origin of this poison, do you know how to cure it?"

"I know!" Chen Lie said, "He only needs a Ninth-Order Grandmaster who has converted all of his Innate Gang Qi into Innate Primordial Qi to help him regulate his breathing for two or three days, and the poison will dissipate."

"We need to adjust our breathing for two or three days? Where do we find the time for that right now?"

Lei Jinglong immediately cursed, "That bastard Yang Jingnian enjoyed so many resources from Blue Star, but betrayed us at this crucial moment, causing Blue Star to lose its Permanent Councilor Star seat. His ' Dark Star ' organization won't benefit at all!"

"Is there really no other way besides this antidote?" Wang Shou asked, frowning.

"There is none left!"

Chen Lie shook his head.

Unless a martial arts expert who has entered the Primordial Essence Domain Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood ordinary can be found to help Ning Fan regulate his breathing with the power of True Essence, the poison of the Violent Qi Powder can be quickly neutralized. However, it is clear that Blue Star cannot possibly invite a martial arts expert who Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood.

Such a powerful individual should be considered a pillar of strength within the Ten-Star Alliance; how could they be so easily persuaded?

"So... Blue Star really going to fail?"

Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong sighed at the same time.

"Not necessarily," Chen Lie said.

"Oh? Do you perhaps have a way to cure Ning Fan's poison?"

"I can't do anything about his poison, but even if a team at the True Qi Stage loses the battle, it doesn't necessarily mean they've lost."

The Grandmaster battle is a sure win; if we can win the Qi and Blood battle, the final victory will still belong to Blue Star.

"Yes, we can't be discouraged prematurely. The combat power that Chen Lie just displayed is comparable to that of Heaven Aperture Stage stage cultivator. Coupled with his Mental Power, he might just be able to hold his own against Xue Zhiran from Wood Source Planet."

Lei Jinglong encouraged him.

He also knew that with Ning Fan down, Blue Star's chances of winning the battle were extremely slim.

Putting aside whether Chen Lie can fight Xue Zhiran a draw, even if he can, Hua Jianying on Wood Source Planet, is no pushover.

With Hua Jianying's SSSSS martial arts, which she has cultivated to the pinnacle, apart from Chen Lie, probably no one in the Blue Star Blood-Qi Stage is her match.

Even if the chances of winning are slim, we cannot give up before the outcome is decided.

At this moment, Ning Fan finished regulating his breathing, and the excruciating pain in his bones subsided somewhat. He stood up.

"President Wang, Principal Lei, I'm sorry, I couldn't win the battle."

Wang Shou shook his head and said, "This is not your fault, it is the fault of that traitor."

"It seems I'll have to discuss the strategy against the ' Dark Star ' organization in Three-Island Province with the Administrator when I get back."

"How are you feeling now?" Lei Jinglong asked.

"My True Qi is still a bit disordered, but it's much better!" Ning Fan said.

Wang Shou said, "Sit down, let me help you regulate your breathing, it might help."

Ning Fan nodded and sat down to let Wang Shou help him regulate his breathing.

Meanwhile, the two battles taking place on the battlefield also came to a conclusion.

Xia Zhizhi defeated Yue Shan, Yue Shan won. Tang Yan'er defeated Sun Ruyi, and Sun Ruyi won.

Wood Source Planet suddenly scored two points, going from 10 to 12, widening the gap with Blue Star by two points.

In the individual battles, only three battles remain: one against the True Qi Martial Artist and two against the Blood Qi Martial Artist.

"The Twenty-Third Battle: True Qi Martial Artist Battle."

Blue Star Shen Fei vs. Wood Source Planet Fu Sifan.

"Two-star contestants must immediately enter the arena for the duel; those who do not enter the arena within 100 seconds will be considered to have automatically forfeited."

"The Twenty-Fourth Battle: The Battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

"Blue Star Han Keke vs. Wood Source Planet Gu Qian."

"Two-star contestants must immediately enter the arena for the duel; those who do not enter the arena within 100 seconds will be considered to have automatically forfeited."

Han Keke waited for a long time before it was finally her turn.

She came to Chen Lie's side and said, "Big brother, just watch me. I definitely won't hold you back. I'm taking this point!"

Now that Ning Fan, the number one Martial Artist of True Qi, has been ambushed, we certainly can't count on him anymore.

While Grandmaster -level team battles are almost always won, the weighting of Grandmaster battles is very low. It can now be determined that team battles involving True Qi Martial Artist are destined to lose, and Wood Source Planet is already leading Blue Star by two points.

She firmly believed that Chen Lie could turn things around, but the prerequisite for turning things around was that his team couldn't be full of useless teammates.

If you lose the individual battles, even if you win the team battles, you can't turn the tide of the game.

Chen Lie hummed in agreement. "Gu Qian from Wood Source Planet shouldn't be stronger than you. If you play normally, you have a very good chance of winning."

Han Keke went to the combat zone and arrived opposite Gu Qian Wood Source Planet.

As soon as the announcement of "The competition begins" rang out, she took the initiative, her blood and energy suddenly erupting as she unleashed several powerful punches at Gu Qian.

Gu Qian reacted quickly, temporarily avoiding Han Keke's offensive onslaught before launching a counterattack.

"Blood Grandshadow Palm, die!"

Han Keke unleashed her martial arts skills, solidifying a massive palm print of qi and blood, and pushed it horizontally towards Gu Qian.

"Boom boom boom!"

Gu Qian also used the martial arts of the Wood Source Planet and began to fight with Han Keke.

The two fought for hundreds of rounds. With her solid foundation and powerful physique, Han Keke completely suppressed Gu Qian. Finally, she seized an opening in Gu Qian's fight and defeated him, ending the battle.

"The Twenty-Fourth Battle: The Battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

Blue Star Han Keke vs. Wood Source Planet Gu Qian, Blue Star Han Keke wins, Blue Star's score increases by one.

After the Satellite Sky Eye captured the battle results, the Optical Computer broadcast them directly.

On the holographic projection, Blue Star's score changed from 10 to '11'.

"The Twenty-Fifth Battle: The Battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

Blue Star Hao Yulong vs. Wood Source Planet Du Jia.

"Two-star contestants must immediately enter the arena for the duel; those who do not enter the arena within 100 seconds will be considered to have automatically forfeited."

Han Keke had just left the arena when the Optical Computer began broadcasting the announcement for the next match, which was the final match of the individual battle.

The final battle between Qi-based Martial Artist and the True Qi Martial Artist Battle were held simultaneously.

Chen Lie watched from below the stage, not optimistic about Hao Yulong and Shen Fei's chances of victory on the battlefield.

Shen Fei and his opponent Fu Sifan had been locked in a fierce battle for quite some time, and Shen Fei was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, seemingly no match for Fu Sifan.

Although Hao Yulong and Du Jia were evenly matched in strength, Hao Yulong's combat power was affected by Yang Jingnian's injury. Although the injury was not serious, his defeat was already inevitable.

As expected, not long after the battle began, Shen Fei and Hao Yulong were defeated one after another.

"The Twenty-Third Battle: True Qi Martial Artist Battle."

Blue Star Shen Fei vs. Wood Source Planet Fu Sifan, Wood Source Planet Fu Sifan wins, Wood Source Planet's score increases by one.

"The Twenty-Fifth Battle: The Battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

Blue Star Hao Yulong vs. Wood Source Planet Du Jia, Wood Source Planet Du Jia wins, Wood Source Planet's score increases by one.

On the holographic projection above the battle arena, the score of Wood Source Planet changed from 12 to '14', leading Blue Star by 3 points.

Blue Star's successive defeats left Lei Jinglong looking ashen-faced.

The individual battle score was three points behind Wood Source Planet's. Even if the Qi and Blood Martial Artist ' team won, it would be difficult to turn the tide, right?

Looking at the score displayed on the holographic projection, Ruan Liusu seemed to be in a daze and said, "The individual score is too low. Is there any hope of winning?"

Han Keke shook her head and said, "What a bunch of incompetent teammates! A bunch of idiots have given away the entire score; there's no way to save them now."

Compared to the melancholy of Blue Star, Wood Source Planet is much more cheerful.

The individual battles had opened up a three-way score gap. They were familiar with the team battle rules. Under the premise of losing the Grandmaster -level team battle, as long as Wood Source Planet could win one team battle between True Qi Martial Artist and Blood Qi Martial Artist, Wood Source Planet would be invincible.

At that moment, the voice from the Optical Computer, which covered the entire venue, rang out again.

"Individual battles are over; the two-star contestants begin preparing for the team battles."

"Team Battle Rules Announced -- Grandmaster Martial Artist Team Battle: Each of the two stars will send three Grandmaster to compete. The winning team will have their score increased by 3."

True Qi Martial Artist Team Battle - Each of the two stars will send ten True Qi Realm Martial Artist under the age of twenty to compete. The winning side will have their score increased by 5.

Qi and Blood Martial Artist Team Battle - Each of the two stars will send ten Blood-Qi Stage Martial Artist to compete. The winning side will have their score increased by 5.

Additional rule: In team battles, if the winning side can achieve a quick victory within ten minutes, the score will be increased by 1.

(Note: There is only 1 bonus point. The team that completes this achievement first in the team battle, either Blue Star or Wood Source Planet, will receive 1 point.)

"Two-star Grandmaster Martial Artist are preparing to enter the arena; the Grandmaster- level Martial Artist battle is about to begin..."

Optical Computer announced the rules, Ruan Liusu frowned.

"With so many people competing, it's difficult to win in ten minutes, isn't it?"

Moreover, the score in the individual battles has already widened to three points, and even if the Grandmaster- level team battle is won, it will only be by three points. Even if the Grandmaster battle is won, if Blue Star loses either the Qi Blood-Qi Stage team battle or the True Qi Stage team battle, Blue Star will have no hope of winning."

Expecting a quick victory in ten minutes during a team battle is unrealistic. With so many participants, winning is no easy feat.

"Have you forgotten about the additional individual battle? If we win the additional battle, and assuming we win the Grandmaster battle and lose the True Qi Martial Artist battle, the team battle among the Blood-Qi Stage Martial Artist can sway the outcome of the battle," Chen Lie said.

"Additional warfare?"

Ruan Liusu was taken aback.

At that moment, the voice from the Optical Computer rang out again.

"Due to special circumstances, an additional match will be added to the individual battle."

"Both Blue Star and Wood Source Planet will send Martial Artist at each of their Blood-Qi Stage to compete."

"The Twenty-Sixth Battle, an Additional Battle."

The contestants selected by the two stars will immediately enter the arena to compete; those who do not enter the arena within 100 seconds will be considered to have automatically forfeited.

After the voice from the Optical Computer faded, Chen Lie arrived at the combat zone for the Blood-Qi Stage.

On the other side, Xue Zhiran stepped out from the ranks of contestants from Wood Source Planet and approached Chen Lie with a cold smile.
