Xue Tao and Bu Ling'er's battle lasted for over ten minutes. However, in the end, Xue Tao's slight advantage led to the end of the match.

"Thank you, Sister Bu." Xue Tao cupped his fists towards Bu Ling'er and smiled.

Bu Ling'er coldly snorted and ignored Xue Tao, leaving the arena.

After a hearty laugh, he looked at the crowd and said, "You are all disciples of my Qing Xuan Sect. I have seen your hard work and progress in this year's great sect competition, but now that Xue Tao has defeated Bu Ling'er, if there is no objection, then in this great sect competition, Xue Tao will be the champion, Bu Ling'er will be the second, and Su Ruo will be the third. You will all be rewarded according to the results you have obtained.

When Su Xing heard this, he clearly didn't agree with it.

He hadn't even competed, yet he was already ranked third. How could this make him submit?

Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Bu Ling'er.

"The reason why the sect head said that was to give you a way out. In the end, it was also to protect you."

Bu Ling'er said to Su Xing, "Xue Tao is really strong. You are not his match at all. Give up. If there's a chance in the future, just go and ask for guidance."

Su Xing understood the meaning behind Bu Ling'er's words. He also understood the sect master's intentions. In an instant, he had fallen into a dilemma.

If he stood on that stage, he might not even be able to defeat Xue Tao, and he might not even be able to make up for the losses. However, he had prepared for such a long period of time for this School Competition.

Just as Su Xing was at a loss, Xue Tao, who was in the distance, suddenly looked towards Su Xing with eyes full of ridicule. He opened his mouth and moved.

"Su Xing, you're just a piece of trash."

Su Xing's boiling blood that had just died down once again surged forth at this moment. He did not listen to Bu Ling'er's advice and directly leapt up onto the stage.

"Senior Xue, I, Su Xing, am not proficient in martial arts. I would like to receive some advice. I hope senior Xue can give me some pointers."

Wasn't the reason why people lived their entire lives was to seek revenge?

Although Su Xing was young, he had already experienced so many things. Was he still afraid of a small competition?

A loss was a loss. At most, he would just get beaten up.

The appearance of Su Xing silenced the crowd for a moment.

"What is Su Xing doing? Even Senior Sister Bu is no match for Senior Martial Brother Xue, let alone him. Isn't he courting death?"

"That's right. The sect head purposely gave him a way out, yet he still tried to show off. I really don't know what to say about him."

"Sigh, he's really asking for trouble. With Senior Xue's conflict with him, he definitely won't show mercy."

"..."

When Bu Ling'Er saw that Su Xing didn't know how to react, she anxiously stomped her feet. "Why is junior brother Su so impulsive? He's …"

"Ling'er, let him go," Su Yuanying, who had been silent all this while, said, "Ling'er is usually calm and collected, but this time, let him be willful."

Although Bu Ling'Er was not optimistic about Su Xing's match, at this moment in time, she could only cheer for him.

Xiao Qingshan did not expect that Su Xing would actually choose to challenge Xue Tao. He looked at Su Xing in surprise and asked once more, "Su Xing, are you sure you want to challenge Xue Tao?"

"I'm sure." Su Xing nodded.

Seeing Su Xing's confident look, Xiao Qingshan did not say anything more.

"In that case, let's begin." Xiao Qingshan said.

The two of them walked into the competition area. Xue Tao looked at Su Xing with interest and smiled, "Junior brother Su, it seems like you have some backbone. I thought you were the same as those cowards who directly surrendered."

"Hur hur, we'll know whether he's a wimp or not in a bit." Su Xing laughed.

"Do you think that just because you charged all the way to the top three and coincidentally drew the space to enter the top two, you think that you're very powerful?"

Xue Tao shook his head and said, "Wake up. The difference between you and me is like the difference between heaven and earth. You're at the seventh level of the Refinement Realm. Haha, I can defeat you with one punch."

"Oh, really?" Su Xing said disapprovingly, "If that's the case, then let me properly experience what is the difference between heaven and earth."

"As you wish." After Xue Tao finished speaking, he slowly clenched his fists and a faint Spiritual Energy began to circulate around his palms.

He suddenly tiptoed and his body flew towards Su Xing at an extremely fast speed.

"Aurora Palm."

Su Xing looked at the incoming Spiritual Energy attack and let out a deep breath before charging forward.

"Dark Asura Fist."

"Bang …"

With an explosive sound, the two retreated a dozen steps back before stabilizing their bodies.

All the Elders in the VIP seats watched this scene. All of them were stunned. They never expected that Su Xing was actually able to withstand Xue Tao's attack.

One had to know that Xue Tao's cultivation level was higher than Su Xing by two levels. Su Xing could be considered to be challenging someone two levels above him.

"Looks like I have underestimated this little fellow!" Xiao Qingshan stroked his beard and sighed.

Xue Tao's expression was somewhat ugly. He did not hold back during the previous strike and had almost used his death blow. However, this fellow had actually forcefully withstood it. Moreover, his own hand was slightly numb from the pain.

At this moment, Su Xing did not feel good. The Spiritual Energy within his body started to surge.

An attack at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm was indeed very strong. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been defeated in a single blow from Xue Tao.

"Looks like you have some skill after all."

Xue Tao twisted his neck and picked up the long spear that had been left untouched at the side the entire time.

Seeing this, Su Xing did not dare to slack off and also took out his personal sword.

Su Xing thought in his heart. Xue Tao's cultivation was two levels higher than his. If the battle continued, the one who would suffer in the future would be him. At this time, he could only desperately fight for his life.

"You must have seen my fight with Senior Bu just now. I thought I would only use the Flame Spear when I was facing her. It seems that I have underestimated you." Xue Tao pointed his long spear at Su Xing.

Su Xing was very familiar with Bu Ling'er's Rainflower Sword Art. Su Xing had experienced it many times during their battle and knew that she was extremely powerful. However, even so, she was still defeated by Xue Tao's Blazing Flame Spear.

It looked like he would have to use that move.

Ever since Su Xing learned this manual, he had never used it against an enemy. This was the first time.
