Jie Tian stood in the middle of the dueling ring. The surging dragon he had been riding on was nowhere to be seen, but he was completely unharmed.
He was wrapped in two layers of energy. One was so powerful that it produced a phenomenon around himâit was his bloodline power, the Rulerâs Bloodline! The other was a unique formation that perfectly complemented the Rulerâs Bloodline.
The two layers of energy further boosted Jie Tianâs fighting prowess. He previously wielded strength on par with a rank nine Half-God level fighting power, and he now had heaven-defying battle power of one cultivation rank on top of that.
Of course, this was not enough to rival True Dragon World Spiritist, but it was a terrifying force to behold.
âWhy are you hiding the dueling ring? Are you afraid of losing to me again?â Little Fishy asked.
Jie Tian chuckled and replied, âThey arenât worthy of seeing my means. Xianhai Yuâer, Iâll admit youâre a formidable opponent. I wasnât a match for you back then. However, I am not the same person I used to be. You donât stand a chance against me anymore.â
His eyes were filled with excitement and unwavering confidence. He had been waiting for a day to cleanse the humiliation he suffered that day, and he had sacrificed a lot for it.
And the chance to do so was finally right before him.
Jie Tianâs overflowing confidence evoked Little Fishyâs laughter.
âIs this your trump card? Iâm sorry to disappoint you then,â Little Fishy said as her aura changed yet again.
Taken aback by her transformation, Jie Tianâs earlier confidence disappeared without a trace.
â¦
âIf Jie Tian was the one who constructed that concealment formation, it would mean that he survived Xianhai Yuâerâs God Taboo Martial Skill, right? But why did he construct that formation in the first place? Whatâs happening inside?â
The crowd was anxious to know what was happening inside.
âChu Feng, are you able to peer into the dueling ring?â Feng Ling asked.
âThe dueling ring is imbued with a special formation, and Jie Tianâs concealment formation is not to be made light of either. Iâm afraid I canât see whatâs going on in the dueling ring too.â
âDoes Jie Tian truly possess the Rulerâs Bloodline? If so, will Little Fishy be fine?â Feng Ling was worried.
Xian Miaomiao and Long Muxi were concerned too. It hadnât been long since they met, but they were extremely fond of her.
âLook! The formation is dissipating!â
The crowd noticed that the concealment formation around the dueling ring began to dissipate, though Little Fishy leaped out of the dueling ring before the formation fully disappeared.
Chu Feng and the others heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her unharmed.
âWhat happened to Jie Tian?â
As the formation dissipated, the crowd saw Jie Tian lying unconscious in the dueling ring with a bloodied gorge in his chest. Blood was profusely spurting from his nose and mouth. Clearly, he had lost this duel.
âYou bastard! Do you have to go this far for a spar?â
The juniors from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion were infuriated. They were obliged to protect Jie Tian in view of his background even though they werenât close to him.
âYou should be glad he isnât dead. Step forward if you want to avenge him. I, Xianhai Shaoyu, will play with you,â Xianhai Shaoyu said.
As angry as the juniors from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion were, none of them dared to make a move on Xianhai Shaoyu. They knew they wouldnât stand a chance at all.
âOur Seven Realms Sacred Mansion wonât let this go!â
Xianhai Shaoyu couldnât be bothered to respond. The strong spoke with their strength; only the weak would bring up their background.
Interestingly, neither Ling Xiao nor Jie Baobao spoke a word about the matter.
Ling Xiao leaped onto the dueling ring to treat Jie Tian, but a surge of recovery energy shrouded Jie Tian before he could finish constructing his formation.
Weng!
It was Liu Kuo.
âBenefactor Ling Xiao, please leave Benefactor Jie Tian to me,â Liu Kuo said.
âIâll be counting on you,â Ling Xiao said as he retreated from the dueling ring. He could tell from Liu Kuoâs formidable recovery formation that he would be fine.
Liu Kuo rubbed one of the prayer beads in his hand, and both him and Liu Kuo vanished into thin air.
âIs Jie Tian eliminated just like that?â
âXianhai Yuâer is too powerful! Itâs no wonder she was invited to the Nine Heavensâ Zenith instead of Xianhai Shaoyu.â
âThatâs terrifying! In terms of talent, she has most likely surpassed the first Immortal Sea Fish Clanâs Clan Chief.â
âA Xianhai Shaoyu is already scary, and now thereâs a Xianhai Yuâer too. No one can stop the rise of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan in Godâs Era anymore.â
A commotion broke out amidst the crowd after Jie Tian was taken away by Liu Kuo. The daring ones spoke those words aloud, whereas the timid ones communicated via voice transmission. This was simply too shocking to them.
Jie Tian was, without a doubt, incredibly powerful, but Xianhai Yuâer defeated him within an extremely short period of time. This indicated just how terrifyingly powerful she was. Perhaps, she was the true dark horse of the Nine Heavensâ Zenith.
âLittle sister Yuâer, youâre amazing. As a reward for teaching Jie Tian a lesson, Iâll make you a scrumptious feast!â Feng Ling said.
âBig sister, you know how to cook?â Little Fishy blinked her large eyes as she asked.
âOf course! My cooking is the real deal, not involving any world spiritist techniques, and I can guarantee that itâll be delicious!â Feng Ling said.
âWonderful! I also want to cook something for big brother too,â Little Fishy exclaimed.
Upon hearing those words, Xianhai Shaoyu quickly leaned toward Chu Feng and whispered, âBrother Chu Feng, donât say that I didnât warn you. You should think twice about trying my little sisterâs cooking.â
Just then, Long Chengyu walked out of the white fog and asked, âWhat are all of you doing here?â
âLong Chengyu, what took you so long? You missed the show. Jie Tian has been eliminated,â Feng Ling said.
âJie Tian? How was he eliminated? Has the tournament begun?â Long Chengyu was confused.
âThe tournament hasnât started yet. Jie Tian attacked Chu Feng, so little sister Yuâer furiously challenged him to a duel, with a bet that the loser has to leave the Nine Heavensâ Zenith. You get it,â Feng Ling said gloatingly.
Her desire for drama had been satisfied.
