My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

"The Wei family, Wei Tieshan."

Wei Tieshan volunteered his name.

"Chu Qingshan".

After exchanging names, the two sides began their magical duel.

Chu Qingshan didn't want to waste any time from the start, so he immediately used a fully-developed fireball technique, and the fierce flames instantly engulfed most of the arena.

This caused the temperature on the arena to soar instantly.

"The difference between the third and fifth levels of Qi Refining is like the difference between the early and middle stages of Qi Refining. I estimate that Wei Tieshan won't last ten moves." Someone whispered below the arena.

The Wei family members all looked grim. With such a large difference in cultivation level, how could they possibly fight?

The fireball exploded, and Wei Tieshan staggered backward, but his aura remained intact.

"Huh! A Great Completion level Heavy Water Technique? No wonder." Chu Qingshan was somewhat surprised that a mere Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator could withstand his Great Completion level Fireball Technique.

Even Wei Qingyao, who was previously at the fourth level of Qi Refining, did not dare to directly take this fireball spell.

"A mastered level Heavy Water Technique?" Below the arena, Seventh Elder Wei Dao raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Wei Tieshan is usually quiet and reserved, only knowing how to bury himself in his cultivation. He has actually mastered the Heavy Water Technique to a high level.

A faint green halo appeared around Wei Tieshan, and a transparent water sphere enveloped him.

"Water overcomes fire. To be honest, with this masterful Heavy Water Technique, Chu Qingshan will still have to put in a lot of effort to defeat him."

"yes!"

The crowd below the ring was talking.

Wei Jing gave a bitter smile. It was true that water could overcome fire, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, so even if they could overcome each other, it would be useless.

Sure enough, the next moment Chu Qingshan used both hands simultaneously, flicking his fingers in quick succession.

With almost no casting animation, fireballs shot out like a barrage of bullets in an instant.

Wei Tieshan's expression changed, and his pupils shrank slightly, but he did not retreat.

He took a deep breath, his chest bulging like a bellows, and then exhaled sharply. As he exhaled, the spiritual energy fluctuations around him suddenly changed, from heavy and steady to soft and lingering.

"Heavy Water Sky Curtain!"

Wei Tieshan raised his palms upwards, as if supporting an invisible ocean. Aquamarine spiritual light burst forth from his body, condensing into a huge water curtain above his head, the water curtain shimmering with a deep blue luster.

Fireballs rained down upon them.

"Boom! Boom!"

After enduring only three fireballs, Wei Tieshan was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a stone pillar beside the arena.

"That's enough!"

"My Wei family concedes defeat!" Wei Lie swept his hand, extinguishing the remaining fireballs with a single palm strike.

Wei Tieshan looked grim and staggered off the stage.

As expected, he couldn't withstand ten moves, and the Wei family disciples watching from below the stage all shook their heads and sighed.

However, this was within everyone's expectations, as the gap in cultivation level could not be bridged by a mere mastery of the Heavy Water Technique.

"Wei Jing, do you still want to try?" Wei Dao came out and asked Wei Jing.

Everyone witnessed Wei Tieshan's fate. Wei Jing was several years younger than Wei Tieshan, and his fate after stepping onto the stage wouldn't have been much better than Wei Tieshan's.

Wei Jing glanced at the disheveled Wei Tieshan, then at the refined Chu Qingshan on the stage, and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, the Chen family members didn't say anything more. In their view, it was reasonable for Wei Jing to give up.

Wei Yun shook his head, and Wei Qingyao sighed helplessly.

Even Wei Long lowered his proud head. The atmosphere on the Wei family's side was somber, a stark contrast to the Chu family's camp.

"Little Tree, it seems we don't need you to play anymore. Brother Qingshan has already won three games in a row."

"Ha ha!"

The Chu family members laughed.

On the arena, Steward Han asked as usual, "Does the last member of the Wei family still want to challenge?"

"Wei Jing, let it go!" Wei Tieshan gritted his teeth and limped toward him.

Wei Jing smiled and cupped his hands towards the Seventh Elder, Wei Dao, saying, "This humble one is willing to give it a try."

Wei Jing was telling the truth. In the years since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had been cultivating diligently every day and had never competed or fought with other cultivators.

Even if you lose, it's not shameful.

After saying that, Wei Jing lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped onto the arena.

Deacon Han gave the young man from the Wei family a deep look, unsure whether to praise his bravery or his foolishness.

It's obvious that the game is already lost, yet they still come up here to get beaten up for nothing.

"In that case, let's begin!" With Steward Han's words, the duel officially began.

Chu Qingshan showed no mercy, immediately unleashing a fully-developed fireball technique. He formed hand seals and unleashed three or four raging flames with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Wei Jing remained calm and unhurried. He stepped forward with his hands facing the sky, and in an instant, spiritual energy surged around him, and a crystal-clear, dark blue light appeared.

"This is a heavy water canopy. Wow, another master of heavy water magic."

Upon seeing this, the crowd below the arena immediately began to discuss it. Although the Heavy Water Technique was only a minor spell based on the Five Elements, it was possible to master it in the early stages of Qi Refining.

Especially considering that Wei Jing looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old, it's quite remarkable that he could master a basic Five Elements spell at such a young age. He must be quite talented.

"Good!" Seventh Elder Wei Dao was pleasantly surprised. In his opinion, even if Wei Jing couldn't withstand this round of attacks, the magical talent he showed was already enough to surprise him.

Even if we lose, it's not a loss.

To his surprise, Wei Jing managed to block all four fireballs.

Wei Jing was only knocked back a few steps, and the heavy water curtain had not yet dissipated.

"Tieshan, it seems that Wei Jing's understanding of the Heavy Water Technique is even deeper than yours."

"My cousin Wei Jing is indeed stronger than me." Wei Tieshan did not argue, because he was sent flying after withstanding three fireballs, while Wei Tieshan only took a few steps back.

However, they can't be that much stronger, and defeat is only a matter of time.

"Good lad!" Chu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and then he flicked his fingers, using the same move that had defeated Wei Tieshan once again.

Wei Jing raised an eyebrow and immediately used the Light Breeze Technique. Instantly, Wei Jing felt light as a feather, as light as a swallow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

More than a dozen fireballs bombarded the area, and even the air felt scorching hot.

Just a second before the fireball struck him, Wei Jing moved like a rabbit, dodging and weaving across the arena.

"What?"

"Another basic Five Elements spell at the mastery level?"

Everyone was astonished to see Wei Jing move like a breeze on the arena, easily dodging the incoming fireballs.

He didn't even dodge some fireballs; he simply tapped his fingertip, and a gust of wind burst forth, deflecting the fireball's trajectory.

"Haha! Interesting! Interesting!" Elder Wei Lie slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter.

Chu Qingshan's face was grim. He kept forming hand seals and throwing fireballs as if they were free, completely disregarding the consumption of spiritual energy.

Wei Jing's expression was solemn. He walked through the curtain of fire, using the Heavy Water Technique to protect himself while using the Light Wind Technique to constantly dodge the dense fireballs.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Jing was panting heavily, and his spiritual energy had been largely depleted under such a high load.

"Is this all you know how to do?" Wei Jing roared.

But Chu Qingshan on the other side seemed to be possessed, unleashing fireballs one after another.

"Madman!" Wei Jing cursed under his breath. What kind of fighting style is this? Overwhelming firepower?

Just as Wei Jing was having a headache, he suddenly noticed that the aura opposite him was rapidly decreasing, like a deflated balloon.

In the blink of an eye, he actually fell from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the fourth level, and then fell to the third level before stopping.

"What's going on?" Wei Jing stared at Chu Qingshan in surprise and disbelief.

Chu Qingshan was covered in sweat, his face was very pale, and his body was trembling.

"This is..." Wei Dao and Wei Lie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.

Elder Honggu said in a hoarse voice, "So this little fellow has mastered that secret technique. No wonder."

"The secret technique's duration has expired, and it's backfiring?"

"He was unlucky to have encountered someone like Wei Jing, who had mastered two basic Five Elements minor spells."

On the stage, Wei Jing seized the opportunity, just as the saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot."

Wei Jing reached out and struck out with a palm, unleashing a continuous curtain of water that slammed heavily into Chu Qingshan's body.

"what!"

Chu Qingshan screamed and was sent flying off the stage.

From the direction of the Chu family, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared and caught up with Chu Qingshan.

Deacon Han gave Wei Jing another deep look, then cleared his throat and said, "Wei Jiasheng."

"We actually won!" Wei Tieshan murmured to himself.

The Wei family camp immediately erupted in deafening cheers.

Although they didn't know why Chu Qingshan's cultivation level dropped so rapidly in the end, they saw the result.

Wei Jia wins!

"Don't be too happy yet, there's still one person left in the Chu family." Wei Long's words interrupted the cheers.

Yes! There's still one member of the Chu family who hasn't played yet; they haven't truly won.

But looking at Wei Jing's disheveled and ragged appearance on the stage, could he still fight?

Everyone in the Wei family was secretly worried for him.

Just then, the last member of the Chu family, Chu Shu, stepped onto the stage.

Seeing this, Wei Jing breathed a sigh of relief. The opponent was also at the third level of Qi Refining, so there was still a chance to fight.

Although he didn't have much spiritual power left.

With a command from Steward Han, "Begin?"

Wei Jing immediately cast the spell, holding nothing back, mimicking Chu Qingshan's moves, his ten fingers flicking repeatedly.

In an instant, more than a dozen fireballs suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards the tree.

"What?" Chu Qingshan was shocked. How could he have known about this move?

Chu Shu was stunned and seemed to have forgotten to resist.

"Alas!" From the direction of the Chu family, an old man sighed, then used a palm strike to dispel the fireball that was about to explode on Chu Shu's body.

"The Chu family concedes defeat."
