Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 362: 362 Give up!

Mo Qing and Yue Qi themselves weren’t too bothered about the token numbers they drew; after all, even if they were separated into different halves, they would still face each other in the final battle.

However, compared to the two of them, the remaining thirteen young talents were fervently praying not to draw tokens for the upper half. If they did, the only way to qualify for the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference would be to defeat one of these two.

”Bi Luo: Green Token number five!”

”Liang Kan: Black Token number four!”

”Ling Wan: Black Token number six!”

”Xue Gong: Black Token number seven!”

”...”

As Su He announced each name, the disciples of both Inner and Outer Sect within the Arena Hall basically figured out their respective opponents for the first round.

However, when everyone saw a youth holding the black number four token, his face the picture of despair, they couldn’t help but cast sympathetic glances at him.

This genius from the Poison Vein, named Liang Kan, had the ”luck” of drawing the black number four token, meaning his first-round opponent would be Yue Qi, who drew the green number four token.

Perhaps in the hearts of many Inner and Outer Sect disciples, drawing Yue Qi might be even more tragic than drawing Mo Qing, the current leader on the Spiritual Chick List; after all, the geniuses from the Medical Pulse tend to be gentler in their approach.

Liang Kan knew in his heart that drawing Yue Qi likely meant there was no crossing this first round, he might even leave his life on the arena stage - the Spiritual Chick Battle List does not prohibit lethal outcomes.

Although Liang Kan’s teacher wasn’t a Elder Fu Du, he knew very well about this big senior brother of Medical Pulse. As a fellow Poison Vein Master, he likely understood the terror of Yue Qi even more profoundly than the spectating talented disciples; one misstep could truly cost him his life.

However, as it didn’t concern them directly, others might simply revel in his misfortune. Coincidentally, people related to Yun Xiao, like Bi Luo and Xue Gong, mostly drew tokens for the lower half.

It is worth mentioning that Bi Luo’s first-round opponent was Chang Qing, the favored disciple of Li Shan, the Fourth Elder. This match between two old-timers on the Spiritual Chick List was sure to be a highlight of the first round.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the last token in Su He’s hand – a black token with a big ”eight” on it, clearly the black number eight token.

Now everyone knew, out of the sixteen competitors in this Spiritual Chick Battle List, there was one, named Yun Xiao, who was absent. Thus, this remaining black number eight token naturally belonged to Yun Xiao.

Having this thought cross their minds, everyone then glanced at the fifteen contestants. Among them, a young figure in a green robe, holding the green number eight token, stood out strikingly.

”Yin Huan really has some good luck!”

Seeing the figure in the green robe, whether it was members from the Poison Vein like Bi Luo or the Medical Pulse like Xue Gong, all harbored a trace of sentiment.

Though Yin Huan was greatly favored by the Second Elder, Elder Fu Du, due to his age, his capabilities among the Inner Sect disciples were not stellar, and he hadn’t even made it onto the Spiritual Chick List before.

But now, drawing Yun Xiao as his opponent meant that regardless of his abilities, Yin Huan was certain to advance to the top eight of the Spiritual Chick List. It goes to show that sometimes, luck is also a form of strength.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a hint of disappointment passed over Yin Huan’s face. Having greatly improved his strength in the past months, he did not wish to advance in such a manner.

Moreover, bearing long-standing resentment towards Yun Xiao, he truly wished to defeat or even kill him in this Spiritual Chick Battle List, to quench the hatred in his heart.

However, when Yin Huan saw his opponent for the next round, a cold smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Xue Gong from the Medical Pulse smiled coldly back at him, as he was likely to be Yin Huan’s second-round opponent.

It must be said that these young talents of Medical and Poison pulses, mutually disdainful, would not hold back if given the chance. Apart from Jade Pot Cave, where they couldn’t attack each other at will, the arena stage of the Spiritual Chick Battle List provided an excellent opportunity.

”Token draw complete, please invite the two disciples who drew the green and black number one tokens to the central main stage for the battle!”

Su He didn’t pay much heed to the remaining black number eight token in his hands. With a wave of his right hand, Mo Qing, clad in black clothing and a black skirt, gracefully ascended the central main stage.

The Spiritual Chick Battle List of the Inner Sect differed from the Outer Sect’s great competition in that, due to fewer participants, all battles took place on the central main stage, and only after one battle concluded would the next begin.

Of course, after each round concluded, there was a night’s rest. As to what state one could recover during that night’s rest depended on individual fortune.

As the top super-genius on the Spiritual Chick List, Mo Qing didn’t bother figuring out who her opponents were. Among the fourteen people present, except for Yue Qi who could pose a slight potential threat, everyone else, in her eyes, were merely stumbling blocks.

Mo Qing’s opponent also had a cultivation at the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm, but as soon as he climbed onto the arena, that bitter expression on his face already proclaimed his defeat before the battle had even begun.

”You are not my opponent. Admit defeat!”

Mo Qing glanced coldly at the person opposite her and issued a chilly voice, being the first on the Spiritual Chick List, she had the grounds to say such words.

”Senior Sister Mo Qing, please enlighten me!”

However, as soon as Mo Qing finished speaking, that person showed no sign of realization, but instead quickly made the first move with a salute. It seems that Mo Qing’s renown as the top of the Spiritual Chick List couldn’t intimidate him at all.

”How presumptuous!”

Mo Qing’s face was covered with frost, and when a thick Meridian Qi burst out from her, all the young talents in the Arena Hall gaped, as if they could fit a goose egg in their mouths.

”Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm?!”

A few Meridian Refining Masters with strong Soul Power sensed it immediately. Being accurate in their sensing, waves of shock stirred in their hearts.

”I didn’t expect that I thought I had made another breakthrough, but this woman, after all, has not let me down!”

As opposed to the shocked faces of the crowd, Yue Qi’s face immediately surged with a lofty fighting spirit. He had originally decided to take back what was his from Mo Qing’s hands in this round of the Spiritual Chick Battle List.

Due to a sudden breakthrough, Yue Qi had been fully confident of defeating Mo Qing, but now, when the latter burst out with the aura of the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, he suddenly felt unsure .

However, it was this uncertainty that made Yue Qi feel that defeating Mo Qing would be more meaningful. If he could effortlessly defeat Mo Qing, what fun would that be?

In the northern seating area, Lu Zhan stroked his beard and smiled, seemingly enjoying the feeling. Mo Qing was his most proud disciple, and now that she had broken through to the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, he also felt pride.

”Tsk tsk, Great Elder, if I’m not wrong, it seems like Mo Qing has controlled the backlash from her Fire Attribute Technique, which led to her breakthrough!”

Yu Shu, the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, with his discerning eyes and unparalleled Soul Power, spotted some clues in an instant. This statement shocked everyone’s faces, including Li Shan, Su He, and Fu Du Mo Li, dramatically.

About the Fire Poison backlash caused by Mo Qing’s unique Fire Attribute Technique, many present had heard about it; even Li Shan, Yu Shu, and Fu Du had tried to treat Mo Qing before, as such a genius affected by her technique would be a great loss to the sect.

Whether it was Li Shan or Fu Du, or even Sect Master Yu Shu, all were helpless against the backlash of Mo Qing’s technique. Eventually, it was Yu Shu who concocted a plan for Mo Qing to soak in the hot springs of Yurong Volcano monthly, which might have some effect.

But Yu Shu and Fu Du knew that this method only treated the symptoms, not the root cause, and had no real effect on the Fire Attribute backlash inside Mo Qing.

They never expected that on this day at the Spiritual Chick Battle List, Mo Qing would suddenly demonstrate control over that Fire Attribute Technique.

This was a peculiar condition that even Fu Du and Yu Shu couldn’t solve—could Lu Zhan have come up with some better method during this time?

Seeing the astonished expressions of the elders looking at him, Lu Zhan felt a touch of emotion and didn’t hide anything, instead responding, ”Speaking of which, we should thank Yun Xiao for this!”

”Yun Xiao again?!”

At these words, the expressions of several Elders changed again. Apart from Fu Du and Mo Li feeling discomfort, Li Shan showed a grateful look, as if without Yun Xiao, he might have already perished.

”According to Yun Xiao, Qing’er’s condition doesn’t seem to originate from the Fire Attribute Technique, but from a special constitution that was merely triggered by cultivating the Fire Attribute Technique!”

What Lu Zhan said next made Yu Shu and the others even more confused. How did it relate to a special constitution instead of the technique?

”Hmph, several Elders and the Sect Master couldn’t see through it, and this young fellow could understand it?”

Being replaced by Yun Xiao for his disciple’s slot had irked Mo Li. Now was naturally the time for a sarcastic comeback, and his words spared no courtesy.

”Third Elder, whether this matter is true or not remains to be seen. My disciple Mo Qing’s rise in Meridian Qi isn’t false, and that’s my disciple, do you believe it or does it matter at all?”

Lu Zhan glanced coldly at Mo Li. His words caused the latter to halt, unable to retort, but what the Great Elder didn’t know was that even Yun Xiao himself was first encountering Mo Qing’s peculiar constitution. He was completely clueless himself, it was merely like a blind cat running into a dead mouse.
