Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

On the arena.

The old man hadn't felt such exhilaration in a long time: [Did you hear that? Master said you're his precious disciple! I can't let Master down! No more holding back, use everything I've learned and beat him to a pulp! This is the final step, I must win!!!]

Xiao Wuli's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. As he listened to the drumbeats, his phoenix eyes narrowed and his dark pupils darkened.

Lu Haotian, the other party, also had a gloomy expression; he had obviously overheard the conversation on the platform.

The drumming stopped, and suddenly, a struggle was about to break out!

Suddenly, a spiritual wind arose on the arena. Lu Haotian made the first move, his five fingers forming a claw, and he slammed it against the beast pouch at his waist. A deafening tiger's roar resounded, and the phantom of the snow-white Rending Wind Tiger roared and appeared behind him, raising its sharp claws high to strike Xiao Wuli's brow!

Xiao Wuli reacted extremely quickly. His clothes flew up as he spun around and retreated, leaving a terrifying tiger claw print where he had just stood!

If he had been a step slower, he would have been torn to shreds by those tiger claws!

"Just an ant who made it to the finals by luck." Lu Haotian sneered contemptuously, his spiritual energy surging around him. "A Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to defeat me, a Golden Core cultivator? A fool's dream!"

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal, chanting, "Tiger Claw!"

The sky rumbled and was covered by dark clouds, as an even more terrifying giant claw descended from the sky.

As Xiao Wuli watched, a ruthless glint flashed in his dark eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and a dense spiritual aura overflowed from him in half a second. The people below the stage were all shocked and gasped when they saw the spiritual aura around him.

How can someone at the Foundation Establishment stage have such abundant spiritual energy within their body?!

Xiao Wuli ignored the reactions of the people below the stage, his gaze cold and deep as he watched the tiger claws approaching. He made a hand seal with his left hand, and golden blade energy condensed in his palm before he slashed out fiercely!

Nine Heavens Sky-Splitting Slash!

The sharp blade pierced through the claws of the Rending Wind Tiger and slashed towards the ferocious and enormous beast behind Lu Haotian.

Lu Haotian's pupils constricted, and he quickly formed hand seals, chanting, "Possession!"

The phantom of the Gale Tiger behind him roared and entered his body. In an instant, Lu Haotian's body swelled by 10 feet, his face transformed into that of a ferocious tiger, and his fangs gleamed with a bloodthirsty cold light.

"roar--!"

Lu Haotian raised his hand, and the phantom tiger claw materialized in an instant, catching the incoming blade in his palm and destroying it!

The advantage of having a higher cultivation level became apparent at this moment.

The old man frowned. "The difference in strength between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is still too great."

If it were someone of the same level, how could the Nine Heavens Sky-Splitting Slash be so easily neutralized?

Xiao Wuli did not stop. With a light touch of his toes, his body instantly transformed into a transparent phantom, circling around to Lu Haotian's back.

Traveling through the void.

Lu Haotian realized what was happening and quickly turned around, but the "Chaotic Heaven-Destroying Palm" was already slamming towards him!

"A hundred beasts devour the heart!"

Hundreds of phantom soul beasts appeared around Lu Haotian, roaring as they pounced on the Heavenly Annihilation Palm.

"Quick, quick! This kid's been tricked!" the old man exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Wuli's dark eyes flashed with golden light, and countless law runes appeared around him. He flicked his fingertips, "All laws return to one!"

One rune after another was pasted onto the foreheads of the beasts, and as if a pause button had been pressed, the phantoms all stopped in mid-air.

The old man, seeing victory, screamed with fervor: "Xiao Wuli, now's the time!!"

However, Xiao Wuli did not carry out the plan immediately. Instead, he suddenly unleashed the "Chaotic Heaven-Destroying Palm" directly at Lu Haotian's face.

“Pah!”

A loud slap suddenly rang out.

Old man:............

For a moment, the previously enthusiastic cheering crowd fell silent.

On stage, Lu Haotian was clearly stunned by the slap. The slap had obviously been delivered with all his might, and a clear red mark with five fingers appeared on his face in half a second.

Taking advantage of the moment he froze, Xiao Wuli leaped up again, no longer hiding all the spiritual energy in his body, and gathered it all in his palm. After countless compressions and contractions, it finally turned into a dark blue color, wrapped with a terrifying aura that could break through all realms, and blasted straight towards Lu Haotian's spirit!

Nine Revolutions of Brahma!

Space twisted, the phantom of the soul beast was swallowed, and blinding white light enveloped the entire arena!

"Stop!" A hurried roar came from the stands, and a golden light instantly enveloped Lu Haotian.

"Bang--!!!!"

A tremendous sound rang out on the arena, and the cultivators standing nearby couldn't bear it and raised their hands to cover their ears.

The white light dissipated, and the golden light shield lasted for two seconds before finally shattering and crumbling, scattering across the ground.

Xiao Wuli was panting heavily, his fingertips trembling. His lips were pale from excessive consumption of spiritual energy. He spread his legs slightly apart, trying to maintain his balance. The warm jade in his palm continuously transmitted spiritual energy into his empty body.

But at this moment, his body felt as if it had been drained dry. The wisps of spiritual energy had little effect on him, and he stood in the center of the arena entirely by willpower.

A familiar, exotic fragrance supported him from the side, and he seemed to lose all his strength, with half of his weight falling on the person who had come to him.

Chi Buwan helped him up, and looking at the slap mark on Lu Haotian's face opposite her, she felt incredibly happy.

Wow, as expected of the male lead, he knows how to make him feel good.

"Master, did I win?" Xiao Wuli asked, his lips pale.

Chi Buwan grasped his wrist, transferring spiritual energy to him, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy and pride, and said, "You won, you won beautifully."

Xiao Wuli lowered his eyes and nodded gently, his gaze falling on his fair, slender fingers, his breath lingering around his nose, their shoulders and arms pressed tightly together.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his breathing gradually slowed down.

This was the most intimate moment between him and his master. In front of everyone, without any urgent matters to attend to, his master held his wrist and supported his shoulder and arm.

At the same time, Master was also very happy.

He really enjoyed seeing his master smile, especially when he smiled at him; it was a beautiful sight.

Xiao Wuli's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

If only time could stand still at this moment.

It was only then that the people around realized what was happening, and a series of incredulous voices came from all around.

[Damn, bro, your reaction was way too fast!] Xie Hanfeng arrived at the arena ten steps late.

The match was so exciting that he was stunned. When he came to his senses, he saw that Chi Buwan had come to the stage and helped Xiao Wuli up.

To be honest, the two of them are quite a good match in terms of face and height. If you didn't know better, you would think that the wife was worried about her husband and rushed onto the stage to protect him!

Xie Hanfeng dared not tell Chi Buwan this, otherwise he would have killed him.
