Chapter 114 - A Strong Opponent, Against the Sunset Sect!

The two matters were mixed together and caused an uproar, almost to the point where everyone knew about it.

Everyone was guessing whether the spirit pearl was a Wood Spirit Pearl or not. Who was the one who had spent so many spirit stones on the Tai Qing Sect?

During the intermission, Lee Changhong, a disciple of the Tai Qing Sect, mysteriously pulled Ye Xuan to the side. His face was full of excitement and elation.

“Elder Ye, we’ve really struck it rich this time. So many spirit stones.”

Lee Changhong was a little incoherent. He had never seen so much money in his life. In comparison, Ye Xuan was much calmer, as if this result was within his expectations.

Lee Changhong was impressed by Ye Xuan’s nonchalant attitude. Lee Changhong’s expression was full of respect and admiration. Ye Xuan was the real expert!

It must be known that he was also shocked when he received Ye Xuan’s instructions. After all, so many spirit stones were actually all bet on Liu Jin. If he lost, wouldn’t it be a massive loss?

But who would’ve thought that Ye Xuan would be so insistent? There was nothing Lee Changhong could do to change his mind. Lee Changhong was even mumbling inwardly but he could only do as he was told.

“No one noticed you when you went to place your bet, right?”

Lee Changhong patted his chest and promised, “Elder Ye, don’t worry. I put on a disguise. Plus, there were a lot of people there, so no one noticed me.”

He seemed to have thought of something and could not help but laugh. He said, “Elder Ye, you didn’t see the dealers and that group of people’s expressions. It’s really funny. They’ve all suffered a huge loss this time.”

Lee Changhong was gloating. After all, when he was betting, he had heard a lot of people gossiping about the Tai Qing Sect. There were all kinds of bad things. If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan’s instructions, he would have gone up to argue with them.

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Then that’s even better.”

Very soon, the second round of the competition began. This time, the Tai Qing Sect was actually going up against the Sunset Sect!

The Sunset Sect was considered a strong sect. All of their disciples were at the peak of the earth rank, and some had even broken through. Everyone had high hopes for them. They had already won seven matches in a row, almost catching up with the previous record.

“So it’s the Sunset Sect. They’re a truly strong opponent and have the highest chance of winning this year. I heard that one of the seven great sects, the Infinity Sect, has already sent people to contact them.”

No one had expected that the Tai Qing Sect would draw such an opponent in the second round. They really didn’t know whether they should lament that their luck was too good or too bad.

There were already many people gathered below the stage. They were all attracted here.

Most of the people had heard about the battle with the Green Peak Sect and knew that the Tai Qing Sect had a powerful magic weapon. However, few people had seen it with their own eyes, and most of them just watched from a distance.

The participants this time were Yang Zetao from the Sunset Sect and Deng Anzhi from the Tai Qing Sect.

Following Yang Zetao’s appearance on the stage, the crowd didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they felt that the temperature had dropped a lot. Some observant people noticed that the ground of the stage was actually covered in a thin layer of ice crystals.

“Mutated Ice spirit root indeed lives up to its name!” The crowd could not help but exclaim.

Judging from the aura that Yang Zetao was giving off, he had already entered the sky rank. His strength was one of the best in the entire area.

“He’s already a sky rank level 1 at such a young age, his future is bound to be limitless.”

“Tai Qing Sect is really too unlucky. Not only did they draw the Sunset Sect, but they also have such a powerful opponent.”

On the other hand, although Deng Anzhi of the Tai Qing Sect was a bit higher than Liu Jin with an earth rank level 8, there was an uncrossable gap between him and the sky rank. It could be said that the difference was like heaven and earth.

Many people looked at him with sympathy.

“So what if the Tai Qing Sect still has spirit pearls? This is a mutated single spirit root. Ordinary Fire Spirit Pearls can’t deal with it at all. The result will be a definite defeat.”

Xiang Yang and Yang Zetao could not be compared at all. With his mutated Ice spirit root, his natural talent was outstanding, and coupled with his hard work and training, Yang Zetao was one of the best in the Sunset Sect. Furthermore, he never underestimated his opponent.

In the face of such a powerful enemy, even though they had seen the power of the Five Elements Pearl, the people of the Tai Qing Sect could not help but feel a little worried. They cheered for Deng Anzhi.

“I look forward to a good match,” Deng Anzhi cupped his fists and said.

Yang Zetao nodded his head. He had an indescribable arrogance about him. Perhaps it was because of his mutated Ice spirit root, but his entire body was cold.

He didn’t waste any words. With a raise of his hand, countless icicles flew out, intertwining to form a large, dense net. He had actually attacked with a big killing move.

If Xiang Yang had not been careless and underestimated his opponent, he would not have ended up in such a sorry state.

Deng Anzhi didn’t dare to underestimate the attack. He threw out the spirit pearl in his hand, and a fiery red dragon soared into the sky. The icicles melted in an instant, turning into a pool of water on the ground.

Yang Zetao’s expression did not change. He said, “Do you think you can deal with me like this? You’re too naive.”

The Sunset Sect had probably made preparations long ago and knew that the Tai Qing Sect had a powerful spirit pearl in their hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, the water on the ground began to flow on its own. The temperature dropped rapidly, and a cold wind suddenly blew. It was unknown when it started, but the sky was actually filled with snow.

Upon closer inspection, they were not snowflakes at all, but diamond-shaped icicles that flickered with countless cold glints. However, they were too small and densely packed, so they looked like snowflakes from a distance.

“Swish!”

Countless cold lights flashed and landed on the fire dragon with lightning speed. The fire element was instantly reduced by more than half, and the originally huge dragon body shrank rapidly. With a wail, it turned into steam and dissipated in the air.

“Your spiritual energy is too weak. If you want to deal with me, these Fire Spirit Pearls are not enough.”

Yang Zetao easily neutralized Deng Anzhi’s attack, leaving the audience gasping in amazement.
