"Boom!"
Purple energy shook the heavens like thunder. The purple blood sword radiated a brilliant sword light, piercing the sky, accompanied by a rumbling divine sound, slashing down toward the earth-element powerhouse.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, purple energy and ashes surged as the purple blood sword struck the opponent's giant hammer. The earth-element expert's arms were instantly shattered, and he was sent flying, crashing into the barrier before bouncing back.
"Ssshh"
At that moment, a purple blood sword pointed at his throat. Luo Xue's face was pale, completely drained of color, barely able to stand, yet her eyes held a chilling determination:
"You have lost."
The earth-element expert's face turned extremely grim. He lost by just one move—not because he was inferior, but because he was less ruthless than Luo Xue.
Luo Xue braved her injuries to meet his blow. Her sword energy drained some of its power, and her long sword lost some of its power. Taking advantage of the moment she was thrown backward and injured, she gathered all her essence and blood, transforming it into a deadly strike.
But after using his first move, he had no chance to change tactics or regain force. He looked at Luo Xue, who had used up all her strength. Standing here was all thanks to sheer willpower.
At this moment, if he fought back, Luo Xue would surely die. He hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and sighed, "
Forget it. Defeat is defeat. Thank you for sparing me from killing."
That person wasn't bad either; he didn't take advantage of the situation to fight back and just admitted defeat. Although the reward is important, sometimes people still care about their dignity.
After that person left, Luo Xue was teleported out. Luo Xue returned to the viewing platform, her face full of excitement. But as soon as she landed, she stumbled and couldn't even stand, and Luo Bing caught her in a steady hand.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and Luo Qing were all excited and thrilled. Long Chen was speechless. The Luo family disciples valued their family's honor too highly, and instead, they cared less about their own lives.
He had told Luo Xue before not to push herself so hard, but the outcome was still the same. Although Luo Xue won this battle, the cost was enormous, even affecting her future cultivation. In Long Chen's view, it was not worth it, but Luo Xue seemed to feel she had gained a lot.
Luo Bing took out a pill and handed it to Luo Xue, but Long Chen took it away. Luo Bing and the others were stunned, and Long Chen sighed and said, "
I really have to hand it to you. Why are you pushing yourself so hard?" Is this reward really worth it?
Your essence and blood are now depleted, and even your spiritual root is loose. Most pills contain pill poison, which is normal for consumption. Taking it now and pill poison invades your spiritual root, damaging your talent and seriously affecting your future cultivation path. Long
Chen tossed Luo Bing's top-grade pill onto the ground like trash, then took out a box. As soon as the box was opened, a rich fragrance of pills wafted out, and as mist rose inside, a spirit pill the size of a longan appeared.
On the elixir, divine light swirled, runes swirling like living creatures, moving back and forth. As soon as the elixir appeared, everyone's hearts raced wildly.
"Top-grade elixirs?"
Even Lu Mingxuan, who was well-traveled, couldn't help but be startled and exclaimed, "
The medicinal power of this supreme elixir is completely locked, and the Dao patterns on it seem to have their own soul consciousness. This is extremely rare."
"I've seen a bit, but the Dao patterns of top-grade elixirs aren't this lively." Long Chen said.
"Oh my god, don't tell me this is the legendary treasure pill?" Lu Mingxuan covered his mouth, looking utterly incredulous.
Long Chen didn't answer Lu Mingxuan. Instead, he took out the pill and handed it to Luo Xue, saying, "Take it, and your foundation won't be damaged at all. However, to fully recover, it will take at least three days. And during this time, you won't be able to fight anyone. You won't be able to participate in the next competition. That's all I can do." "
Senior Brother Long Chen, this ... This is too valuable, I can't take it... Luo Xue looked at the precious pill, her eyes slightly red. She had no personal connection with Long Chen, and her contact with him was only due to family orders. Yet when Long Chen gave her such a precious pill, she was moved but dared not accept it.
Although she had never seen a treasure pill, not even a top-grade spiritual pill, she knew that a treasure pill was something countless people had never seen in their lifetime. She felt that accepting it would be a huge favor.
"Stop being so naggy. Just treat me like your own big brother. If your own sister is injured, how can your brother just stand by and do nothing?
Alright, lots of people are watching us, don't let people laugh at us. Long Chen said as he spoke, giving Luo Ning a meaningful look.
Luo Ning understood Long Chen's meaning, took the pill, and without giving Luo Xue a chance to refuse, she directly fed it into her mouth. Luo Xue was so weak that she didn't even have a chance to refuse.
When Luo Xue swallowed the pill, everyone was shocked to find that her pale, paper-like face with no trace of color instantly flushed with a faint blush. Her depleted blood and nearly dried soul were instantly replenished, and she instantly became energetic.
Everyone couldn't help but marvel. No wonder treasured pills are said to be incredibly precious. If one hadn't seen this effect with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe. Luo Xue was almost completely drained; after taking one pill, it felt as if she had restored at least about fifty percent of her combat power.
"I... "I..." Luo Xue wanted to express her gratitude, but when she opened her mouth, she realized she didn't know what to say, and her voice choked up.
"Don't get so worked up. For others, this is a treasure, but to me, it's nothing. You've recovered about fifty to sixty percent of your stamina and your injuries are basically healed.
But that's only the surface; during this period, you need to rest and rest to let the medicinal effects gradually settle. Long Chen reassured him with a smile.
Luo Xue nodded gratefully and rested peacefully nearby. After all, she was already in the top 100, and she was already content.
Because after entering the top 100, except for the top three, everyone else received the same rewards, so there was no need to fight for it anymore. She was self-aware.
"Brother Long Chen, since the treasure pill means nothing to you, why don't you give me one too? You're my real big brother—no, my real grandpa—give me one, okay?" Seeing Long Chen say this, Lu Mingxuan grabbed his hand and acted spoiled.
"Go aside."
Lu Mingxuan, a filthy girl, suddenly pulled him to act cute. Long Chen shivered, feeling goosebumps, and hurriedly shook off her hand.
Seeing Long Chen's speechless expression, everyone burst into laughter. He was actually afraid of this.
The match continued, and after eight more rounds, the nameplate at Long Chen's waist lit up.
"Third Brother, be careful."
Mu Qingyun reminded Long Chen to face Chu Shuang, but Long Chen seemed not to take Chu Shuang seriously at all, as if he were about to crush a rabbit. Mu Qingyun was a bit worried, afraid Long Chen might be too careless.
"You should make that Chu guy watch out." Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh, telling the boss to be careful about what she was thinking.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen was teleported into the arena, and the entire arena erupted in cheers—they had finally been waiting for Long Chen to appear again.
