TFHS: Chapter 179

Wu Liyan said, “Ordinary essence liquid realm cultivators won’t be his match, don’t you think?”

Zong Yupao said expressionlessly, “What you see is just what he revealed.”

Wu Liyan didn’t refute it. This was just the beginning. No matter who came on stage, it was impossible for them to fully expose their strength while they still had spare strength.

However, Wu Liyan was very happy. She shook her neat short hair and said, “It seems that this league is very interesting. There are finally some new faces instead of just your old face. I’m tired of it.”

Ji Yuan couldn’t help laughing when he heard this. Zong Yupao’s expression didn’t change at all. He said, “A defeated general has no right to say anything.”

Wu Liyan was about to explode, but it was a fact that she couldn’t beat this guy.

Looking at Bai Qiaomo, who continued to defend the arena and accept challenges on the stage, Wu Liyan suddenly felt that it would be better if Bai Qiaomo could become stronger and defeat Zong Yupao. Then let’s see if this guy could still act so arrogantly.

Thinking of this, Wu Liyan’s temper subsided. She gave Zong Yupao a meaningful smile before turning around and striding away.

Just watching the current arena battle couldn’t show Bai Qiaomo’s true strength.

So there was no need to watch the next battle. Wu Liyan stopped wasting time here.

Ji Yuan was a bit surprised to know that Bai Qiaomo had the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels. He said to Zong Yupao, “If Bai Qiaomo is really proficient in formations, then how high is his real combat power?”

Even if Zong Yupao could defeat Bai Qiaomo in the arena, it didn’t mean that his combat power was really higher than Bai Qiaomo’s. After all, the latter still had some hidden tricks that he hadn’t used.

As an expert formation master, Ji Yuan was well aware of the destructive power that could be brought about by using formations in battle.

Zong Yupao finally became upset. Everyone was worried that he would lose. He said coldly, “After the competition, I had better come and practice with you.”

Ji Yuan immediately shut up. What he said just now made this guy angry.

The others were excited when watching this, but Gong Liquan’s group was very annoyed.

Even a mid-stage essence liquid realm cultivator couldn’t delay the situation for long as Bai Qiaomo dealt with him quickly. How much of a role could the others play if they went up?

They really wanted to call the contestants in the late stage of the essence liquid realm, but such contestants might not listen to them.

Those in the late stage of the essence liquid realm were all selected seeds and wouldn’t go on stage easily. Once they went on stage, they would aim to be the final champion. No one wanted to give up halfway.

“Keep going. Even if we can’t defeat him, I don’t believe that the yuan energy in his body is endless. Don’t give him time to rest.”

“Okay, then let me do it.”

Another mid-stage essence liquid realm cultivator jumped onto the stage. Once the two of them introduced themselves, the referee activated the protective formation, and the two of them started a new round of fighting.

The other cultivators also gradually realized the problem. Three people in a row came from the same force, namely the Imperial Academy. Could such a coincidence be possible?

Many disciples of the Liefeng Sect were also attracted to the third arena. One of the qi gathering realm cultivators who had been in the arena asked the person next to him, “Senior Brother Qin, what do you think the disciples of the Imperial Academy intend? They are challenging the same person one after another, not even giving him time to catch his breath.”

Senior Brother Qin, whose name was Qin Jian, had reached the late stage of the essence liquid realm. As his name suggested, his character was very firm.

Qin Jian’s eyes swept to the position where Gong Liquan and the others were standing and sneered. “What’s wrong with their intention? They just want to use a round-robin battle to wear Bai Qiaomo out. It would be even better if they could kick Bai Qiaomo out of the top 60. These people are used to being domineering, but perhaps they will hit a wall this time.”

The junior brother gasped. He didn’t dare to guess before, but he hadn’t expected it to be like this. “They are too much. This league isn’t held for their Imperial Academy alone. They don’t allow others to come forward? Senior Brother Qin, will they use this method on you?”

Qin Jian sneered. “I’m not afraid if they use it. However, it is enough for them to target Bai Qiaomo now. They don’t have time to care about others. Perhaps they are targeting Bai Qiaomo due to Alchemist Feng.”

No matter whether it was Feng Ming winning the championship of the alchemist competition or spending more than 10 million yuan to bet on Bai Qiaomo to win the championship, it was estimated that these self-righteous guys were unhappy so they used this method to disgust people.

“Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Qin, Zong Yupao is also here to watch Bai Qiaomo’s match.”

Qin Jian knew what his junior brother wanted to say, so he said, “Zong Yupao isn’t in the same group as them. He looks down on this type of method.”

This was a mutual attraction between masters. They could always understand each other’s thoughts and pride.

In the arena, Bai Qiaomo once again spent less than two minutes to send his opponent off the stage with his spear. He did it very cleanly and neatly, without the thought of delaying time to reduce consumption. He just directly declared war on this group of people.

After sending this man off the stage, Bai Qiaomo’s face didn’t even turn pale. He directly thrust the spear in his hand forward, pointing the tip in the direction of Gong Liquan’s group. “Come on!”

Feng Ming was still shouting in the audience. “Come on, show your skills in the round-robin battle. See if my Brother Bai is afraid of you!”

Why should he cover up for this group of people? He just wanted to expose their actions in front of all the participating cultivators.

They had no shame themselves, so why should others cover up for them?

Some people, like the disciples of the Liefeng Sect, noticed that something was wrong. Others were so busy watching Bai Qiaomo fight that they hadn’t thought much about anything else.

Now that it was exposed by Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming, they were immediately furious. That person must be a disciple of the Imperial Academy. Were the disciples of the Imperial Academy so shameless?

Gong Liquan and the others never expected that these two people would expose the matter. Shouldn’t they just accept it and bear it silently?

Didn’t they know where they were standing? This was Imperial City. Gong Liquan’s group had the final say here.

They were used to being unscrupulous and used to no one daring to argue with them. There was no way except to tolerate them.

Who would’ve thought that they would meet people like Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, who didn’t follow their rhythm?

Gong Liquan and the others immediately became the focus and were pointed at by many people. Their faces turned as dark as ink, and they wished to strangle Feng Ming to death.

Gong Liquan was really annoyed. “Did we violate the rules in any way? If you can’t afford to lose, don’t take to the stage.”

Feng Ming put his hands on his waist and counterattacked. “Did I say that you violated the rules? Who said that we can’t afford to lose? Aren’t you the ones who can’t afford to lose? If the rules allow it, I really want to let all of you go on stage together and see if my Brother Bai will be scared.”

“You dared to do this, but you are afraid of being criticized? Go on, the round-robin battle will continue.”

Other people laughed when hearing Feng Ming’s words.

Feng Ming wasn’t wrong. In this matter, it was obvious who couldn’t afford to lose and who did something unkind.

Cultivators who weren’t from the Imperial Academy were eager to see the excitement of the Imperial Academy.

Therefore, these people also shouted, “Yes, keep going. Don’t stop.”

“Alchemist, what if Bai Qiaomo can’t stand the round-robin battle and loses?”

“Relax. You guys are underestimating him. My BrotheR Bai is the one who will win the championship. Do you think I spent 10 million yuan crystals just for fun?”

Everyone laughed.

Gong Liquan’s group couldn’t advance or retreat. Their eyes were full of fire and for a moment, they didn’t know if they should continue this round-robin battle.

At this time, a voice was heard. This caused Gong Liquan and the others to look over in surprise.

The speaker was Zong Yupao. He said in a cold voice, “Keep going. Don’t stop once you start.”

Ji Yuan also sneered. What was the point of withdrawing at this time? Bai Qiaomo was telling them that their plan wouldn’t work. They underestimated Bai Qiaomo too much.

Feng Ming was right. If he used a formation, it didn’t matter if everyone went up to the stage together. They would be beaten badly by Bai Qiaomo and defeated miserably.

Gong Liquan’s group gritted their teeth and had to continue sending people to the stage.

More than a dozen people came up next, but none of them could last even a minute before being knocked off the stage by a spear.

The so-called battle of attrition became a complete joke in the face of absolute strength. It only showed that the disciples of the Imperial Academy were weak and were ruthlessly crushed by Bai Qiaomo, a disciple from Sihong Academy.

The disciples who were over the age limit wanted to cover their eyes with their hands, unable to watch any longer.

Not only did this group of people fail to achieve their goal, but they also contributed to Bai Qiaomo’s reputation and caused harm to the entire Imperial Academy.

These people also realized that Bai Qiaomo wasn’t an ordinary late stage essence liquid realm cultivator. Nearly 20 people came on stage to challenge him. Seeing that Bai Qiaomo showed no signs of exhausting his yuan energy on the ring, they started to retreat and wanted to leave.

They wanted to leave, but Zong Yupao refused to let them. They were the ones who started it. It wasn’t their turn to decide when it would end.

So under Zong Yupao’s cold gaze, Gong Liquan and the others were forced to continue sending disciples from the Imperial Academy to challenge on stage. Finally, even a cultivator at the peak of the qi gathering realm was sent to the stage.

However, when such a cultivator came on stage, he didn’t even have a chance to fight and was directly swept down by Bai Qiaomo in a single blow.

After meeting dozens of people, Bai Qiaomo’s forehead was finally wet with sweat and he was breathing slightly as he stood on the stage.

Gong Liquan and the others were secretly resentful, but they didn’t dare to hate Zong Yupao. They directed all their hatred toward Bai Qiaomo.

Bai Qiaomo’s current state finally gave them hope.

“Xiong Kui, go ahead!”

At this time, a man walked out from behind the crowd and immediately attracted everyone’s attention. This man was tall and strong, and they could feel the ground shaking as he walked. According to visual estimation, his weight might be more than 300 or 400 kilograms. His body was also covered with a lot of hair. He looked like a humanoid wild beast, not a human being.

“Wow, these people actually have a hidden card. This Xiong guy is really a bear. Looking at his cultivation, he has reached the middle stage of the essence liquid realm.”

“Will Bai Qiaomo fall this time? This Xiong guy definitely isn’t an ordinary middle stage essence liquid realm. If Bai Qiaomo hadn’t experienced so many battles and was still at the peak of his strength, he should have no problems fighting this Xiong guy. However, in his current state, I’m afraid Bai Qiaomo will be in trouble.”
