The green ocean steadily retreated beneath the black lightning dragon's attacks, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of it had dissipated.
Just as the hundred-zhang lightning dragon, having pierced through layer after layer of vines, prepared to press deeper, an incomparably thick pillar of energy suddenly flashed up from below and swept violently toward it.

Finally victorious, Xiao Li raised an arm and burst into laughter.
"Hmph, you only won because Xiao Jiu gave you special instruction. If an Eight-Star Dou Sheng guided my cultivation too, I could defeat you as well."
Xiao Ding curled his lip, ignored Xiao Li, and flew straight down from the arena.

"Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and the other five children are quite good.
