At the summit, an unexpected battle unfolded.
Qi Ling faced Xin Ku of Jade Splendor Peak.
Little Green Peak had already lost two matches. With Lü Qingyu and You Sanfeng defeated in succession, its spirits had sunk to rock bottom.
They could not afford to lose this match!
Lü Qingyu pressed her lips together. As the senior disciple, she should not have had to send her junior sister into danger. A hundred emotions churned within her.
"Junior Sister Qi, be careful."
Qi Ling's dark hair streamed behind her. "Little Green Peak will win."
As her slender figure stepped onto the arena, the disciples of Little Clear Peak clenched their fists as one.
Nie Qingzhu said, "Ling'er, the path of cultivation is not decided by a single victory or defeat."
"Water does not fight to be first. It strives to flow without end."
But Qi Ling said firmly, "I must fight for this."
Nie Qingzhu could only sigh.
At the other end of the arena stood a tall youth named Xin Ku.
Yuan Shujian's gaze sharpened. This youth was a disciple of a Jade Splendor Peak elder who had taken in students this year. Born with the Wu-Earth Constitution and the Earth Phase Mirror, he had been blessed by heaven on his path of cultivation. After just three months in the sect, he had reached the Perfected Body-Shaping Stage.
Qi Ling, by contrast, had no reputation. Outside Little Green Peak, she had not distinguished herself among the various branches.
She was only at the Body Shaping Late Stage.
The tall youth opposite her already had a deep, powerful aura. Yellow sand flowed around him, swirling like ribbons of silk.
A small earth-colored mirror appeared before his chest, seemingly able to command flying sand and rolling stones.
Sand and soil were summoned
