Bai Shengyi arrived at the main peak and understood what Qianying meant by bringing glory to Qianxiao Peak.
On the plaza where the main peak was holding the exchange大会, a surging crowd buzzed with excitement. Especially around the two battle stages, one to the south and one to the north, they were surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
On the northern battle stage, a cultivator with a green forehead band stuck his sword into the ground and mockingly sneered, "Before coming, this young master heard that the cultivators of Qianxiao Peak were very special. Could it be that this kind of special is like a weakling?"
Opposite him, Li Shiqing lay on the ground, spitting blood with a broken sword tip, yet she forced herself not to concede.
This person was named Li Yihui, and he was one of the members of the mysterious force rumored to be at this exchange大会.
He had already fought and defeated ten students from various academies. Not only that, after each victory, he would mock Qianxiao Peak sarcastically, clearly targeting them.
In the previous match, Li Yihui had even crippled his opponent's hand and leg tendons, then boasted, "Your academy is nothing more than this! I assume the disciples of Qianxiao Peak are even more cowardly, even worse, hahaha!"
Li Shiqing immediately jumped onto the battle stage to face him, but she was utterly defeated.
This person not only had pure spiritual energy but his spiritual techniques far surpassed what their academy had taught them. Li Shiqing, having never taken a master, was no match for him.
"Li Shiqing, concede."
Amidst the numerous sighs and boos from the ground, Li Shiqing heard the voice of Venerable Qianying and saw Bai Shengyi beside her, her gaze dimming slightly.
She didn't know when the little sister she once took care of had also surpassed her.
She dazedly conceded, was pulled off the battle stage by Qianying, and watched as Qianying pushed Bai Shengyi forward.
"Venerable Qianying, this person's strength is formidable, Bai Daoyou..." she said worriedly.
Qianying stuffed a handful of pills into her hand, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she said carelessly, "Don't worry, just watch how your junior martial uncle teaches him how to behave!"
"Yo! Little beauty, are you also from Qianxiao Peak?"
Li Yihui's eyes lit up as he clearly saw Bai Shengyi's appearance!
Those bright, clear eyes, that small red mouth, the intense beauty mixed with a hint of cold aloofness – wasn't this his ideal type!
Li Yihui's eyeballs rolled around, and he chuckled, "Little beauty, call me Big Brother, and I'll go easy on you, how about that?"
"Not good!" Bai Shengyi looked up and sneered, "Did you not look in the mirror when you went out today?"
"Huh?" Li Yihui didn't understand.
Bai Shengyi hooked her lips, and the next second, she spoke coldly.
"With your unlucky and shabby appearance, do you think you're worthy?"
"Not worthy!"
From below the battle stage, a strong shout pierced through the crowd and reached Li Yihui's ears.
Li Yihui's expression immediately turned grim. He glared fiercely, only to see a fop holding a small handkerchief and several people around him shouting loudly, "Not worthy."
"Since this little beauty is so ungrateful, don't blame this young master for being impolite!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yihui drew his sword from the ground and thrust it at Bai Shengyi with a "swish!"
As soon as he attacked, Bai Shengyi sensed the peculiarity of this person.
His spiritual energy was thick and rich, making others envious.
To put it in her words, if her and Li Shiqing's spiritual energy were like a continuous small stream, then Li Yihui's spiritual energy was like a surging, vast ocean.
With such profound spiritual energy and exquisite sword moves, Bai Shengyi was caught off guard, and two sword marks appeared on her arm.
Blood seeped onto the water-blue sleeve.
Li Yihui, having landed a hit, whistled and said contemptuously, "Your Qianxiao Peak, one is worse than the other..."
Before the word "one" could be uttered, a chill suddenly ran down his back.
Li Yihui instinctively retreated rapidly, but it was too late!
Vines that blocked out the sun instantly enveloped him.
Bai Shengyi formed a hand seal and used her spiritual energy to stop the bleeding from her wound, saying coldly, "You are very strong, but what is there to be proud of when you are not even at the Golden Core stage?"
Rich spiritual energy? She figured Little Vine Leaf would like it very much.
On the Moon Invitation Terrace of the main peak, Rong Bugui, Dao Ming, Qi Fei, Xia Xilou, and Qin Si each occupied a corner, drinking tea and wine, watching the duels on the battle stage, as if the conflict that had escalated to a fight on the main peak half a month ago had never happened.
"This little girl is indeed sharp-tongued. According to her, wouldn't anyone below the Golden Core stage be her opponent?" Rong Bugui sneered, "Does she think my disciples of Xile Sect grew up eating chaff and rice?"
These words were a veiled insinuation that the spiritual energy used by disciples from the continent of Shenqi, compared to that used by disciples born and raised on the continent of Shenqi, was like chaff and rice!
Xia Xilou's expression remained unchanged, and he said gently, "Sect Master Rong is truly joking."
Qin Si's luxurious robe trailed on the ground, a flicker of amusement in his phoenix eyes, and he scoffed, "Just wait and see."
Rong Bugui snorted, "Vice Principal Qin, are you so confident in your academy's disciples? A mere seedling of a girl..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Yihui, who had just broken free from the vines, being knocked to the ground again by Bai Shengyi's whip!
Not only that, Li Yihui's famous sword move "Breaking Moon, Playful Shadow" was actually broken by the writing brush in Bai Shengyi's hand!
The smile on Rong Bugui's face immediately froze!
Dao Ming rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "This young girl's moves are somewhat like using a sword?"
Bai Shengyi was unaware that someone was watching their duel from the shadows.
She held the Wheel of Reincarnation Brush, her eyes clearly seeing Li Yihui's sword trajectory. Instinctively, she swung it as if she were holding a sword, directly sweeping away the "real" sword from Li Yihui's myriad sword shadows, breaking it.
Before Li Yihui could react, she closed the distance, punched his nose, and kicked his knee.
Li Yihui usually focused on practicing his sword forms and had never paid much attention to close combat. Moreover, his weapon was already destroyed. Bai Shengyi's every move landed effectively, coupled with sharp spiritual energy attacks like small arrows, and soon he was sent flying to the ground, unable to get up.
"Shabby ghost, if you call me Grandma, I'll go easy on you, how about that?" Bai Shengyi walked over with a smile.
Li Yihui's entire body was in so much pain that it felt like thousands of needles piercing his bones. Seeing Bai Shengyi's movement, he instinctively retreated, "You... you don't come over... I, I surrender!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Yihui's face turned pale.
It was over.
He had lost all face and dignity! His Sect Master would not let him off!
"Bai Shengyi! You are amazing ahhhhhh!"
"Junior Martial Uncle!"
"Ah! It's truly satisfying!"
In contrast, below the battle stage, a group of disciples led by Feng Wuya and Luo Feihua were ecstatic!
Finally, someone had severely put this arrogant guy in his place and vented the academy disciples' anger!
Because this person was only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, the disciples who had stepped onto the stage from the academy had not exceeded the eighth order either. However, more than a dozen people had been defeated and returned, which only fueled this person's arrogance.
Bai Shengyi's actions now truly brought immense honor to the academy! Honor to Qianxiao Peak!
The crowd cheered continuously, and Bai Shengyi thought her task for the day was finished and was about to step down, when, at this moment, a whip was swung from not far away—
"Wait, I want to spar with you!"
