Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Song Dan's big cat had been staring menacingly at Ye Liuyun since the beginning, making Ye Liuyun feel uneasy.

"Since there are no problems, let's begin," Elder Qin announced.

As the competition began, Ye Liuyun immediately had three pills in her hand. She first crushed the Vajra Pill, and a golden energy was absorbed by her body. Then she crushed the Wind God Pill and the Lightness Pill to give herself two more buffs.

Once these three states are added, Ye Liuyun is considered the complete version. With this state, combined with his internal energy and the Nine Revolutions Divine Power, Ye Liuyun could probably withstand a blow from the Out-of-Body stage.

These three types of pills differ from other pills in that their effects are enhanced based on the user's own physical constitution.

It's a panacea, but there's no way to improve its effectiveness.

"Senior sister, am I about to begin?" Ye Liuyun reminded Song Dan, staring at her.

Song Dan was not afraid, but curious about what kind of pill Ye Liuyun had used. After Ye Liuyun struck a pose, he suddenly threw out a pill that emitted billowing white smoke.

A burst of scalding steam instantly enveloped Song Dan and her spirit pet.

"Hmm? It's so hot. Xiao Lei, disperse the smoke." Song Dan quickly ordered.

Upon hearing this, Lei Hu immediately opened his mouth and spewed out a violent storm, which swirled up hot mist and lifted it into the sky.

"Where is he?" But at the same time, Ye Liuyun disappeared from their sight.

"I'm right here, take this Mount Tai crushing blow!" Ye Liuyun swung his Myriad Medicines Cauldron down from the sky, smashing it down on Lei Hu with immense force.

Ye Liuyun was clearly targeting this Thunder Tiger.

Upon hearing the sound, Song Dan immediately looked up. Lei Hu also swung his large claws at Ye Liuyun. However, to Lei Hu's surprise, his claws collided with Ye Liuyun's medicine cauldron and he was no match for it. The bones of his claws shattered, and Lei Hu felt a sharp pain as his body was almost crushed.

"this?"

Song Dan's expression changed, and she lashed out with her whip in time to push Ye Liuyun away. Otherwise, if the tiger demon couldn't hold on any longer, the cauldron would have smashed into Lei Hu's head.

The whip only crackled and sparked when it struck Ye Liuyun, forcing him to retreat. The first wave of attack was neutralized, but Lei Hu's right claw was temporarily crippled.

Lei Hu's claws were covered in blood, and he howled in pain, constantly licking his claws.

"What? Are you kidding me? This woman's physical strength is even stronger than that of a late-stage Dao Palace demon beast?" Everyone was at a loss for words as they watched Ye Liuyun clash head-on with the Thunder Tiger. She was truly a humanoid beast.

Such a frail body could unleash such powerful strength, crippling one of the opponent's pet's right claws with a single move. This must have been a severe blow to Lei Hu, causing his combat power to drop by at least 30%.

"Damn it, what kind of skill is a sneak attack? If you have the guts, fight me head-on." Song Dan felt very sorry for the injured spirit pet, so she swung her whip and lashed it at Ye Liuyun.

This time, however, Ye Liuyun abandoned the use of the Myriad Medicines Cauldron and instead reached out and grabbed Song Dan's whip tightly in his hand. However, the whip was also filled with terrifying electric current, which shocked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was not afraid of this small amount of electricity at all.

"Good heavens, catching a top-grade spiritual weapon with her bare hands, this woman is getting more and more monstrous. But this must be the effect of the pills she used before?" Some observant people noticed this problem.

After grabbing the whip, Ye Liuyun took advantage of Song Dan's momentary daze, grabbed her forcefully, and flung her into the air.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was incredibly strong, but the pill had a time limit, so she had to take the opportunity to inflict serious damage on her opponent.

In Ye Liuyun's hands, Song Dan felt as if she had no weight; she couldn't stop her body no matter what she did.

"Damn it, what strength! Stop it, you bastard!" Song Dan shouted, unleashing the power of his treasure.

As the current increased, Ye Liuyun could no longer withstand it. Helpless, she pulled hard, instantly pulling Song Dan in front of her.

"Take this punch." Ye Liuyun's punch was extremely heavy, carrying the power of magic and the Vajra Pill. If Song Dan were hit, he would definitely break several bones.

"Roar……"

But at that moment, the Thunder Tiger seemed to sense something was wrong. Despite the pain, it leaped up and appeared on top of Ye Liuyun's head. With its other paw, it slammed down heavily on Ye Liuyun's head.

This is a diversionary tactic to relieve the siege of Wei. Ye Liuyun either has to give up attacking Song Dan or take Lei Hu's slap head-on.

Ye Liuyun didn't think his head could withstand that blow without getting hurt.

"Tch! You're cooperating pretty well, aren't you?" Ye Liuyun quickly shook off Song Dan and jumped back to avoid the slap. Lei Hu's huge claws slammed heavily onto the ground.

But it wasn't over yet. In retaliation for Ye Liuyun's earlier attack with the cauldron, Lei Hu suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning at Ye Liuyun, who was jumping back.

"Damn it, I can't dodge it." Ye Liuyun hurriedly used his defensive stance to take the hit head-on, and Lei Hu's lightning immediately engulfed Ye Liuyun.

The master and servant worked together very well. After the attack, they retreated a distance and calmly looked ahead. However, Ye Liuyun was not injured at all; only a wisp of green smoke rose from his body.

"Damn it, nothing happened? Is this woman even human?" Song Dan's face was extremely ugly.

Ye Liuyun lowered his hand and then let out a sigh of relief.

"It's tough fighting two people at once," Ye Liuyun complained.

Song Dan alone is not a problem, but this big cat is the trouble. She must deal with this big cat first. As she spoke, the meridians in her body changed from a defensive mode to a speed mode, and Ye Liuyun appeared in front of Song Dan with a whoosh.

"So fast, the speed has increased several times in an instant." Song Dan was forced to defend, but still took a punch from Ye Liuyun. However, this punch was more than half of the power of the opponent's magic defense and treasures. In addition, since it was not in normal form and the power was greatly reduced, it could only knock Song Dan away at most.

However, Ye Liuyun's target was not this woman. She knocked Song Dan away and threw a blinding flashing pill, which forced Lei Hu and Song Dan to look away.

After the Flash Pill ended, Lei Hu and Song Dan hurriedly searched for Ye Liuyun's location.

Just as Lei Hu was about to look for someone, he found his body floating up uncontrollably. That was because Ye Liuyun appeared at his tail, grabbed his tail, and swung him up.

"Gotcha! Get up!"

Ye Liuyun threw Lei Hu at Song Dan as if he were a weapon.

Before Song Dan could react, he was struck by Lei Hu's massive body and sent flying.

"Sorry, big cat, I'll have to disable you." Ye Liuyun swung the Thunder Tiger and slammed it heavily to the ground, where the Thunder Tiger cried out in pain.

The scene was incredibly visually stimulating. Ye Liuyun slammed Lei Hu down several times, the last blow sending Lei Hu's head crashing to the ground. This attack made Lei Hu's eyes roll back in his head.

"Let go of my Little Thunder, Thunder Fist!" Song Dan threw a punch from a distance, a fist formed from lightning magic slammed heavily into Ye Liuyun's body, forcing Ye Liuyun back from Lei Hu's side.

Ye Liuyun was forced back more than ten meters by the punch, while the big cat had already fainted and was lying on the ground unconscious.

At the same time, the power of the Vajra Pill on Ye Liuyun's body began to dissipate. Under normal circumstances, the pill could last for three minutes, but the problem was that fighting against these powerful opponents consumed too much of its power. After enduring these attacks, the power of the Vajra Pill had been completely exhausted, but she had still managed to kill the opponent's pet.

"Phew, all done." Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Dan quickly checked on her pet and, seeing that it had only fainted, had no choice but to put it back in its pet carrier.

"What's going on? Why is this guy targeting my pet instead of me?" Song Dan's face was very ugly.

With the pets gone, Song Dan's fighting power will decline significantly.

This is because, based on the analysis of Song Dan's previous battle, to defeat Song Dan, one must first defeat her pet. Defeating her pet before dealing with Song Dan would increase the chances of victory by at least 30%.

"Alright, Senior Sister, the real battle is just beginning," Ye Liuyun said.

Song Dan clenched his fist, and the Dao Palace behind him began to reappear. All the power of the Dao Palace was poured into the whip, and the whip burst out with extremely dazzling lightning.

Song Dan swung her whip and lashed at Ye Liuyun rapidly. Ye Liuyun quickly released his Myriad Flower Eyes to slow down the whip's attack speed, and then used his speed to dodge.

Song Dan became increasingly frustrated with her attacks, her whip already creating shadows, but Ye Liuyun seemed to dance within the whip, easily dodging each strike.

Such an attack cannot continue indefinitely. After Song Dan finished her attack, the meridians within Ye Liu changed again, this time into a vortex shape. At the same time, a high-speed rotating energy ball quickly appeared in her hand. This thing is not suitable for long-range attacks because it will not be very fast when thrown. The best way is to attack from a distance.

Ye Liuyun grabbed the energy ball and rushed towards Song Dan.

Seeing Ye Liuyun approaching, Song Dan quickly formed hand seals, and bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking Ye Liuyun. Relying on his speed, Ye Liuyun dodged left and right, finally closing in and striking Song Dan with a spinning energy ball.

Song Dan had no choice but to use his lightning power to fight Ye Liuyun in close combat. As a disciple of Lei Yun Peak, Song Dan had considerable experience in close combat.

She could also tell that the thing in Ye Liuyun's hand was dangerous, so she tried her best to avoid it.

"Damn it, this is really troublesome." With a whoosh, Song Dan took to the air and flew into the sky.

"Tch! What's so great about being able to fly?" Ye Liuyun took a deep breath, and while the Lightness Pill and Wind God Pill were still effective, he stepped into the air and headed towards Song Dan.

Ye Liuyun's act of walking on air was once again astonishing.

"Strange, I've read ancient books, don't they say that body cultivators can't fly? How did she manage that?" someone asked in surprise.

"No need to look anymore, it must be the blue light emanating from her body, and this blue light clearly has a fluctuation of wind power," the observant person replied.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun could still fly, Song Dan had no choice but to fight. Hiding wasn't an option, because according to the rules, one couldn't avoid the fight for too long. After all, this was a competition, and if she kept running away, it would be considered malicious delay and she would be judged to have lost.

"Five Extremes Lightning Hand." Song Dan raised her right hand, and a large amount of lightning power surged into her body and erupted, then condensed into a large hand filled with five colors of lightning. She controlled the large hand and slammed it down hard towards Ye Liuyun who was rushing over.

However, the rotating energy ball in Ye Liuyun's hand had been accumulating energy for a long time and was already a meter in diameter. Without hesitation, Ye Liuyun dragged the energy ball and crashed it into the opponent's spell.

The moment Song Dan came into contact with Ye Liuyun's attack, her expression turned grim, because her magic was distorted, or rather, her power was being absorbed by the thing in Ye Liuyun's hand.

"Damn it, is it draining my power? Dao Palace Power - Activate." Song Dan activated the power of the Dao Palace, but even so, he still couldn't stop his spell from collapsing.

Ye Liuyun's thing isn't being absorbed, but rather being constantly worn down.

"Break." Ye Liuyun snorted coldly, directly shattering the opponent's technique, and the huge energy ball immediately rushed towards Song Dan.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to reach Song Dan, he let go, the energy ball left his palm, and he began to fall. Song Dan quickly activated his armor to defend himself.

"This attack actually drained my internal energy." As Ye Liuyun fell, he felt that the internal energy in his dantian had dried up.

Song Dan was shocked as she watched the enormous energy ball collide with the defensive power of her battle armor.

"What kind of method is this? It's like a leech, constantly wearing down the power of my magic weapon, and I can't push it away." Song Dan mustered her strength to try to break free from the huge energy ball, but the moment she made contact with it, she was already stuck in the mire.

Unless her magic power and magical artifacts can last until the power of this rotating energy ball is exhausted.

Ye Liuyun had landed steadily on the ground and was now gazing at the sky, knowing that victory or defeat depended on this moment.

"I can't use this move with too much internal energy in the future. At least not until I'm sure I can defeat my opponent," Ye Liuyun reminded himself.

Song Dan was still resisting, but cracks were starting to appear in her armor, meaning she couldn't hold on any longer.

This drill-like energy left her helpless.

"Damn it, you freak, I give up!" Song Dan shouted.

As soon as he said this, Elder Qin waved his hand, and Ye Liuyun's energy ball shattered with a thud.

Song Dan was out of options. Since there were no other ways to counter this move, she was destined to lose. To avoid getting hurt, admitting defeat was the wise choice.

As soon as Song Dan conceded defeat, sighs immediately came from Lei Yunfeng's side.

"What a pity. If Junior Sister Song's pet hadn't left the stage so quickly, the outcome would have been uncertain. But how many strange tricks does Ye Liuyu still have up his sleeve?" A disciple of Lei Yunfeng asked Ye Liuyun on the stage with a curious look.

"Phew...we won." Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the spectator stands. As soon as she returned, the disciples of Caiyun Peak would surely cheer.

After dealing with the disciples of Caiyun Peak, Ye Liuyun sat down next to Lin Aoxue.

"Wow! This move is indeed powerful. Why does it look so familiar? It's like a move from an anime I've seen before. Oh, I remember now, isn't this the legendary Giant Rasengan? Hahaha." Ye Liuyun laughed heartily.

"Hmm, it does look somewhat similar. I feel it's not just this move that's similar, even those troublemakers you caused before, they all seem like moves from anime. Did you intentionally or unintentionally imitate those moves?" Lin Aoxue asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head.

"Definitely not, but I suddenly had the idea to do it. I want to take advantage of the time I have now and research more similar moves." Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Lin Aoxue was both amused and exasperated by Ye Liuyun's intrigued expression.

The battle on stage soon resumed, but it had nothing to do with Ye Liuyun anymore; they just needed to wait for the semi-finals to end.

The semifinals only had 50 matches, which were all finished today. The finals start tomorrow, which is a disadvantage for the winners who were injured in the semifinals. However, their coaches will definitely do their best to help them recover.

In the stillness of the night, in the main hall of Yunzong.

The high-ranking officials were looking at the list in their hands with a headache, because this time there was no room for any more. Although they had secretly manipulated things to separate the top disciples of the six major factions, how could they match them up for the final?

If it's a random match, and direct disciples or seeds collide, that's not the result they want.

"Sect Master, if we had known, we would have just chosen a hundred people directly. I feel that there will be problems no matter how we choose, using this method to select people," the crowd said irritably.

"Alright, alright, you five factions, stop thinking about all that nonsense. Since it's already agreed that the matchmaking will be random, the finals will also be random. If a direct disciple or a seeded player is matched with someone, then it can only be said that they are unlucky. However, I suggest that the finals and the ranking matches be held at the same time."

Fang Mingyu has a new idea.

He then shared his ideas on how to combine the finals with the ranking matches.

That is, after their 1v1 matches tomorrow, the winner will enter the Cloud Ladder, a special secret realm of their Cloud Sect called the Cloud Ladder Secret Realm, which is used to test the disciples' talent and perseverance. The Cloud Ladder has a total of 100 floors, somewhat similar to the mountain climbing staircase of the Cloud Mist Sect.

However, the pressure is much greater than that. Murong Huan, the chief disciple of Yunzong, not only ranked first in combat power, but he has also always been ranked first in the Cloud Ladder.

According to Fang Mingyu's plan, after the competition, the winners will attempt to climb the Cloud Ladder again, and then be ranked according to their respective ladder levels.

The ranking competition is only for distributing sect rewards and has no impact on going to the Southern Ridge Grand Gathering.

After listening to Fang Mingyu's suggestion, everyone agreed, because the Nanling Grand Gathering was not far away, and they needed to leave time for their disciples to prepare and recuperate, so they could not schedule the time too tightly.

Looking back into Bixia Valley, Ye Liuyun was practicing her weapon under the cover of night. Tomorrow's battle would be fought with a sword, and there was no time left for her to develop other internal energy techniques.

However, Ye Liuyun's swordsmanship was really too rough and too basic. After watching for a while, Lin Aoxue personally stepped forward to teach Ye Liuyun swordsmanship. At this time, Ye Liuyun's Myriad Flower Eyes came in handy again. He used the Myriad Flower Eyes to copy Lin Aoxue's swordsmanship, and the copy was almost perfect.
