Other people hadn’t said a thing when, on the Martial Observation Platform, Vice Academician Liu Qingzhu flashed over in an instant and kicked Yan Chen to the ground with a foot.
"Too bullying, my ass! You blame others for your own lack of skill?
Got led by the leash, did you?
Well, why don’t you leash someone else if you’re so capable?"
After finishing her words, Liu Qingzhu delivered another kick, "It’s just an intra-school martial contest; what’s with all these wild thoughts?
Shouldn’t the normal reaction be to feel ashamed and then strive to improve, aiming to turn the tables next time?
You kid, better straighten out your heart!" Liu Qingzhu landed another flurry of kicks.
"Auntie, I don’t have any ulterior motives..."
"Shut up, who is your auntie! If you have thoughts again, I’ll disown you! Remember, you are all disciples of the Da Chen National Daoist School!
In the future, you fifteen True Disciples are all classmates and junior brothers!"
"Feiqing, educate him properly on what the four iron-clad rules of life are!" After kicking Yan Chen once more, Liu Qingzhu instantly flashed away, but this time without burying her head in her bosom.
With matters having escalated to this point, there was no use in hiding.
Now, she needed to think about finding opportunities for redemption.
"The four iron-clad rules of life? What’s that?" Meng Qingqiu asked.
Yuan Feiqing smiled but didn’t immediately respond, while Fang Mingchun on the side said, "Senior Sister, I know, I know! The four iron-clad rules of life, yeah, ’have fought together, studied together, shared spoils, and walked the path together...’"
Yuan Feiqing kicked Guan Li flying, then helped Yan Chen up.
"Brother Yan, don’t take it to heart, Academician Liu means well for us," Yuan Feiqing comforted.
"I know, but I just..." Yan Chen forced a smile, then explained to Meng Qingqiu, "Senior Sister, I don’t see him as an enemy; it’s just that I’m upset and feel frustrated.
Senior Sister, you must win a match later!"
Meng Qingqiu didn’t respond to Yan Chen, instead, she turned to Yuan Feiqing and asked, "I understand the first three ’irons’ among the four, but the fourth, ’walked the path together,’ what does that mean? Like-mindedness?"
Guan Li smirked, about to explain to Meng Qingqiu, but was silenced by a glare from Yuan Feiqing, "The fourth iron means exactly that, comrades who share the same path and have a solid relationship!"
Behind her, Guan Li felt an urge to laugh amidst his astonishment.
Damn, both Senior Sister Meng and Senior Brother Yuan are geniuses, even coming up with such an explanation?
In the spectator area at the back, even more dejected than Yan Chen was Lv Kun.
He had wanted to vent his frustrations, frustrations that had never been released before.
He thought that during this ranking battle, top figures from the National Taoist Institute like Yan Chen, Yuan Feiqing, Meng Qingqiu, and others, could help him vent.
But unexpectedly, Yan Chen was defeated outright.
Taken out in one move!
The pent-up frustration in Lv Kun’s heart thickened, nearly driving him mad.
Suddenly, a Starlight Transmission message appeared before Meng Qingqiu.
Yuan Feiqing, currently ranked third, no longer had a chance to face Xu Jin. Up next, he would be contending with Yan Chen for the third place.
"Senior Sister, you must defeat Xu Jin!" Yan Chen persisted with his obsession, murmuring again.
Meng Qingqiu said nothing, stepping onto the stage where Xu Jin was already waiting.
"Senior Sister Meng!" Xu Jin greeted with a clasped hand first.
Xu Jin had a good impression of Meng Qingqiu.
Mainly because during the fourth challenge in the Wilderness Blood Battle, Meng Qingqiu had not participated in the group attack, waiting for a one-on-one duel with Xu Jin instead.
At that time, Xu Jin understood Meng Qingqiu’s intention, but with no Star Power left after striking down Yan Chen and Yuan Feiqing, he could only die at the hands of Fang Mingchun.
Meng Qingqiu seemed to be a relatively straightforward person.
"Senior Brother Xu, please unleash your full strength, and do not hold back at all!" Meng Qingqiu returned the greeting with a clasped hand.
"Alright!" Xu Jin agreed readily.
In the next instant, as the light barrier dissipated, both Xu Jin and Meng Qingqiu lunged out simultaneously.
Meng Qingqiu casually launched a series of Star Arrows, the Star Arrows spinning rapidly towards Xu Jin.
"Spiral Star Pattern?" Xu Jin recognized it immediately.
In a blink, the Spiral Star Arrow shattered Xu Jin’s Star Shield, and even troubled the Body Protective Starlight surrounding Xu Jin!
Senior Sister Meng Qingqiu really did have some strength!
But that was just a modest strength.
In the next moment, Xu Jin leaped up, with three Star Ropes instantly entwining towards Meng Qingqiu.
Meng Qingqiu was prepared, blasting out two Star Ropes, somehow managing to tangle up Xu Jin’s three Star Ropes, rendering him unable to execute the Kite Ring Strategy.
But that was all it did—preventing the Kite Ring Strategy.
As their Star Ropes tangled, Meng Qingqiu’s positioning and speed became restricted.
Xu Jin’s fingers flickered rapidly.
The next instant, a barrage of Star Arrows was unleashed.
Although she had considered how to counter this, only when directly facing the rapid and relentless assault of Star Arrows did she realize how difficult it was to handle!
Dodging and blocking forcefully.
Senior Sister Meng Qingqiu dissipated into starlight!
