The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

On the mountaintop, a man sat staring at a blue flag. "I don't know why, but after two divinations, I've concluded that this flag will be destroyed."

The other man, holding his sword, said, "You've been staring at this flag for four hours straight. What good is it? Do you think the two of us can damage it? Look out at the enemy!"

The man wasn't angry when he was scolded. "No, I'm making a choice between the accuracy of my divination and the honor and ranking of my sect."

If the calculation is correct, it's because the sect is incompetent; if it's wrong, it's because I am incompetent. Either way, one of them—the sect or myself—is at fault.

The man, holding the yarrow stalks, said, "How about... I calculate it again?"

"Are you out of your mind? You've learned the art of prying into the secrets of heaven, you should have done it twice already." The swordsman snatched the yarrow stalks from his hand. "You're going to do this for something so trivial?"

"This is a trivial matter; it won't shorten my lifespan." The cultivator's eyes never left the flag. "But the divination indicates that it will soon..."

The swordsman suddenly drew his sword, the sword energy like a white rainbow. He moved quickly on the ground and almost became one with the earth. The thing was lifted high into the air by the sword energy and then landed heavily at the feet of another cultivator.

"It's just a toad, why are you making such a fuss, senior brother?"

"What kind of toad can run so fast close to the ground?" The swordsman looked at the ground while holding his sword.

The wood-colored jumping frog had just landed on the ground, and although it should have been facing away from the ground, its four legs strangely continued to spin wildly, regardless of whether it was facing forward or backward, and it rushed forward at high speed.

Luoshu Sect disciple: ...probably a toad with four legs that can turn.

"How can this toad run so fast even though it's flipped over?"

"Because that's exactly what I considered," a smiling male voice echoed from below the mountain. "You can run either way, didn't expect that, did you?"

A young man in red appeared before them, took the wooden frog that was rolling backwards on the ground, and was extremely arrogant with his sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes.

The swordsman's heart skipped a beat. "How did you get up here?"

"I came up on my legs, how else could I have gotten up?" Yuan Ye chuckled and put away the jumping frog in his hand. Seeing the swordsman raise his hand to strike, he darted back like a monkey.

"Senior sister, save me!"

Yuan Ye dodged the sword with surprising skill, nimbly leaping behind Xia Tianwu, and righteously complained, "Senior Sister, he hit me!"

Sword Cultivator: ...That's it? Wasn't that an offensive stance just now?

"Senior brother," another person stood up and stood guard in front of the sect's banner, "Isn't everyone supposed to be setting up formations and scouting at this time? Li Jue is still down there! Who are they...?"

"Look at these people dressed in all sorts of different outfits, which sect could they be from? The Supreme Sect, of course." The sword cultivator held his longsword and stared at the two people in front of him.

Xia Tianwu also drew his soft sword from his waist and shielded Yuan Ye behind him, saying, "Excuse me."

As soon as she finished speaking, flames shot into the sky, clashing with the clear, cold sword energy in mid-air.

The fire was torn open by the sword energy, like a fine crimson brocade being split in two.

Yuan Ye hissed and suddenly felt a chill in his chest. He rummaged through his storage bag for a while and pulled out a huge, round, wooden iron-eating beast.

The person who had been guarding the flag froze for a moment, then jumped up, exclaiming, "Senior brother, what a huge turtle!"

"What the hell! This is an Iron-Eating Beast! An Iron-Eating Beast!" Yuan Ye jumped up, then used a spell to activate it. The wooden Iron-Eating Beast, which still had obvious wood block marks and was not very round, slowly stood up and looked down at the human on the ground.

Then it raised one paw high and snapped it.

The blue flag was knocked away.

As luck would have it, the flag was slapped by the Iron-Eating Beast and flung directly into Xia Tianwu's sword energy. The blue flag was burned to ashes by the raging fire.

Luo Shu Sect disciple: ...You bastard!

The swordsman's attention was instantly diverted, and Xia Tianwu seized the opportunity to unleash another sword strike.

The fire serpent appeared gentle, but it possessed an unyielding savagery within, easily breaking through the sword cultivator's defenses.

The sword cultivator regained his senses and immediately raised his hand to defend. His sword energy surged like thousands of flowing waters, covering the fierce attack from the other side.

Xia Tianwu was in the late stage of the Cloud Soaring Realm, while the sword cultivator was in the middle stage. However, the sword cultivator's attribute was water, while Xia Tianwu's attribute was fire. Moreover, Xia Tianwu was a healer. Initially, the water sword always restrained the fire sword, but whenever they were mutually restraining, there would always be a time when they would counteract each other.

The white-clad female cultivator's eyebrows and eyes were like glacial flowers that never faded, and the firelight cast winding thorns in the dark depths of her eyes. With a flick of her wrist, spiritual energy poured out.

The raging fire serpent roared through the air as it collided with the water dragon-like sword energy, hissing and scraping as it clashed, before forcefully breaking through the water dragon sword energy.

The soft sword coiled around the longsword of the Luoshu Sect disciple. Xia Tian unintentionally destroyed the person's weapon, flicked his wrist to retract the sword, and the sword blade popped out a bright sword flower in the air. The spiritual power turned into internal force, and the sword cultivator could not dodge in time. After being hit, he fell heavily down the mountain.

"Senior brother!" Another person, who was being pounded all over the mountain by the Iron-Eating Beast, rushed down the mountain.

"Hey, no, throwing things from high places is strictly prohibited! Where's your manners?!" Lin Du had just started climbing the mountain when a heavy object fell in front of him, startling him so much that he quickly moved aside.

She moved nimbly, and Yan Qing and Jin Xuan behind her quickly moved aside, allowing the person falling from above to continue falling without any obstruction.

Yan Qing and the others moved aside and then noticed something. "Wait, that looks like a person."

"Oh, the person? That's alright then." Lin Du continued walking uphill, but stopped a few steps later. "Wait, the person? Arrest them!"

"Yuan Ye! Where's our Devouring Frog?!" She quickly chased after it.

"Here it comes!" Yuan Ye took out another huge thing from his storage bag and threw it directly in front of the junior brother of Luo Shu Sect who was scrambling down the mountain to rescue his senior brother.

The man abruptly stopped, "What? Another bastard like this!"

"You bastard! You're the bastard! This is a Heaven-Swallowing Frog!" Yuan Ye was furious.

He admitted that the appearance needed improvement. The wood was piece by piece joined together with mortise and tenon joints, making it look like individual pieces. However, the iron-eating beast's eye circles and arms were painted black, and only a blind person could tell that it was a turtle!

And speaking of this Sky-Swallowing Frog, that was a name personally given by Junior Uncle, how could it be a turtle! Turtles are round, while toads are flat!

He activated the spell, and the Devouring Frog opened its mouth wide, swallowing the person who wanted to attack into its belly, leaving only its two legs still kicking wildly outside.

Lin Du exclaimed, "There's one more down there, let's swallow them both together."

Yuan Ye grinned and replied, "Okay."

With a powerful leap, the giant frog pounced on the swordsman who had just regained his footing. Then, it raised its head, and the man, who was kicking wildly, slid into the mechanism inside its abdomen.

The swordsman drew his longsword. "What kind of twisted humor does your Supreme Sect have... ugh... hey!"

The Devouring Frog suddenly opened its huge mouth and bit his head. The Iron-Eating Beast, which had arrived behind him at some unknown time, used its sharp claws to hook the man's belt and shove him into the Devouring Frog's mouth.

The Heavenly Frog closed its mouth, tilted its head back again, and the internal mechanism opened and closed once more.

"Alright, let's send it down the mountain." Lin Du took out a crimson-gold flag and planted it on the mountaintop.

The score started changing just six hours after the fifth level began, setting a new record for the fastest score.

At this moment, next to the golden list in the air, behind the three large characters of Supreme Sect, two black and gold banners were extremely conspicuous.

The small blue flag that originally stood behind Luoshu Gate disappeared silently.
