"Wow!" Yang Fei exclaimed in a daze, his eyes fixed on the path formed by the fireworks before him.

"Junior Sister..." he managed to stammer, "you're getting more and more awesome!"

Ning Yue waved his hand and stepped onto the road of blazing fireworks.

Her steps were extremely steady; from behind, she didn't look like she was walking on ethereal flames at all.

Every now and then, one or two burning sparks would be pumped out from the blazing magma below.

Ning Yue didn't even look at it, and raised his hand to create a barrier, easily deflecting the sparks that were about to hit him.

Awesome! So handsome!

This was the thought that all the senior brothers and sisters behind me had at the same time!

My junior sister is so reliable!

Ning Yue successfully reached the very center of the lava, where the temperature was almost enough to melt a person.

But it had no effect on Ning Yue, who casually wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead.

As if to show off, he simply reached out and grabbed it—

The Blazing Flower emitted billowing flames, and Ning Yue casually conjured ice crystals to cool it down before holding it steadily in his hand.

Raising an eyebrow at the senior students opposite him, he said, "Don't worry, I got it!"

She walked back along the road, and was about halfway down when she reached the ground.

Shi Yinghan's gaze suddenly stopped on a spot to the side, her eyes widened abruptly, and her brows furrowed.

"Junior sister, watch out—!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yue felt a strong pulling force coming from the arm holding the Blazing Flower!

She steadied her legs, hooked her arms around herself, and quickly looked to the side.

Several ice crystal arrows, carrying a chilling aura, shot out simultaneously.

It turned out that it was the Purgatory Sect who pulled her away!

A red whip was tightly wrapped around Ning Yue's forearm, with the other end held firmly in Chu Zhi's hand.

Chu Zhi secretly tightened her grip on the whip, refusing to let go, her eyes gleaming with determination.

Ning Yue almost burst out laughing.

If I remember correctly, the first time she met Chu Zhi was when Chu Zhi came to steal her Bi You Lian.

At that time, Ning Yue's feelings towards the Purgatory Sect were so-so; he didn't feel much aversion towards it.

Ning Yue saw Chu Zhi's trick as a child's tickling trick and didn't take it to heart, nor did she intend to do anything to Chu Zhi.

But the situation is different now.

Putting aside how much Ning Yue dislikes the Purgatory Sect now, just consider Chu Zhi's malicious gaze.

Ning Yue had no intention of showing any mercy.

Moreover, it seems that Chu Zhi harbors a great secret.

Ning Yue grinned smugly at Chu Zhi, waving the Blazing Flower in his hand.

Chu Zhi failed to snatch the Blazing Flower this time.

"Isn't this a bit shameless? This is the second time!"

"Do you think I'm so good-natured that I'll allow you to take something from me a second time?"

Chu Zhi's expression remained unchanged, but she gently clenched her back teeth, staring intently at the blazing flower in her hand.

"It's all about ability; you shouldn't be blamed for not being able to protect them."

"Hmph..." Ning Yue stared at Chu Zhi, almost laughing in anger, "So, it's all about skill, huh? Fine."

As she said this, she stopped directly in the middle of the fiery path and refused to move forward.

He raised his hand and removed the ice and cold from the Blazing Flower.

The ice instantly turned into water, and the Blazing Flower emitted a scorching light and flames in Ning Yue's hand.

Suddenly, the whip wrapped around Ning Yue's arm caught fire!

The flames, like a fiery serpent licking its prey, rushed towards Chu Zhi with fierce fire.

The speed was so fast that it was impossible to react.

Chu Zhi only let go of the whip when her fingers were burned.

"Ah—! How is this possible!?"

She stared in disbelief at the whip that had burned to ashes, her eyes filled with shame, anger, and resentment.

Ning Yue leisurely held the burning Blazing Flower in his hand, even casually twirling the stem between his fingers.

"Oh, isn't it supposed to be a matter of skill? What else can you do besides snatching from others?" Ning Yue's voice was full of mockery.

"I haven't made a move yet." After saying that, she glanced at Chu Zhi, moved lightly towards the shore, and said in a cold voice.

"You don't even have the ability to hold a Blazing Flower."

Chu Zhi stood frozen in place, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, her fingers clenched tightly, and her lips bitten until they almost bled.

Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her arm and lifted her off the ground.

"Stand up," Qi Xucheng's cold voice rang out. "You're already done for before she even makes a move?"

Chu Zhi was startled, then gritted her teeth and sat up from the ground.

Qi Xucheng raised his hand and grasped at the void, and a red heavy sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

His gaze was like that of a venomous snake lurking in the jungle, relentlessly entwining itself around Ning Yue.

The spiritual power of the heavy sword gradually filled up, and Qi Xucheng gripped the hilt tightly, facing Ning Yue's back.

Ning Yue naturally noticed Qi Xucheng's undisguised attack, but she did not react.

...because she didn't need to take action herself at all.

Sure enough, a bright blue sword light flashed and sliced ​​off a large rock behind Qi Xucheng.

Dust rose up—

Shi Yinghan smiled, her voice cold and laced with just the right amount of disdain and mockery.

"Junior Brother Qi, you're planning a sneak attack? Isn't that a bit shameless?"

Qi Xucheng looked coldly at Shi Yinghan, his expression a mix of coldness and a smile. The air was silent for a moment, then a few breaths later...

The two figures quickly engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air.

Ning Yue landed safely on the ground, the Blazing Flower in his hand still radiating fierce flames, its temperature so scorching that no one dared to approach.

Yang Fei automatically took two steps away from Ning Yue: "I can't take it anymore, Junior Sister. How can you endure it?"

Ning Yue gently flicked the petals of the Blazing Flower, causing ice crystals to condense again, firmly freezing the Blazing Flower.

The temperature dropped sharply, and Yang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He approached Ning Yue, summoned his blue flames, and stood in front of Ning Yue.

Ning Yue directly put the frozen Blazing Flower into his Qiankun Bag.

"Hey, junior sister—" Yang Fei reacted quickly and stopped Ning Yue's actions.

"This cannot be stored; treasures obtained in the secret realm cannot be put into the Qiankun Bag."

"Then are you just going to hold it with your hands?" Ning Yue asked.

"Indeed..." Yang Fei sighed, "This secret realm is incredibly dangerous. How can we let other sects know who obtained it if we don't keep it in our hands?"

"Moreover, it will also make it easier to seize the magic treasure later," Song Yishi added from the side.

"One of the highlights of the team competition is the competition between sects for magical treasures, with each sect relying on strategy and strength to win."

"It's not that whoever gets it first gets to keep it; it depends on whether they have the ability to protect it in the end."

Ning Yue nodded knowingly.

He infused the ice crystals encasing the Blazing Flower with spiritual power.

The Blazing Flower soared into the air and landed steadily beside Ning Yue, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.

Easy, easy...

Since it can't be hidden anyway, might as well not hide it at all and just openly expose it to others.

If you have the ability, come and take it.
