Cold Clouds

"Sister Xiao, I'm here!" Jin Tao looked very motivated. She jumped onto the arena and took small steps, just like she was boxing.

Jin Tao's opponent was a guy who looked like a handsome gentleman. He looked luxurious from head to toe, with golden hair and some purple patterns all over his body.

The young master was fanning himself when suddenly a loud shout came from the audience: "Come on, Fellow Daoist Tan!"

Fellow Daoist Tan? Why does it sound familiar? I seem to have heard this guy's voice somewhere before? Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and recalled it carefully.

Oh, now I remember, aren't these the two guys who were overheard telling little secrets in the hotel box before? The guy who had a weird relationship with the four good brothers.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a quick look and found that the other person was actually quite good-looking. There were four male friends sitting around him who were obviously very close to him, and they all looked pretty good.

Especially the one with purple hair, he looked so fair, even fairer than her current altered appearance, and his eyes were so big, reminding her of her own Zi Zi.

Is Lin Long still in the lower world? Oh well... that's right, that girl named Shangguan probably won't come up so soon. Lin Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and leaned back in the spectator seat to continue watching the game below.

I have already introduced myself. The young man's name is Tan Qianqiu. He slowly waved his fan and looked at Jin Tao, who was jumping slightly. The next moment, he kicked forward and threw a flash jab.

Tan Qianqiu obviously didn't expect Jin Tao to be so fast, and he subconsciously retreated, but Jin Tao stopped in front of Tan Qianqiu instantly, and used his right leg as a fulcrum to sweep across Tan Qianqiu's waist.

Tan Qianqiu shook the folding fan in his hand, and a flame roared out. Jin Tao's pupils shrank slightly and she jumped back a step. Tan Qianqiu pointed with the folding fan, and the flames all chased after Jin Tao.

Jin Tao kept dodging and soon she was out of breath, while Tan Qianqiu was leisurely waving his fan and continuously releasing flames to chase Jin Tao.

Well, it's easy. Tan Qianqiu waved his fan and looked at Jin Tao's dodging figure, and breathed a sigh of relief. At first, Jin Tao's speed did scare him, but he reacted quickly. Now the situation is under his control. His flames have almost covered the entire field. As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely win.

"Fellow Daoist Tan! That's great!" The guy who had an ambiguous relationship with the four men spoke again.

Tan Qianqiu looked over almost the moment he heard the voice, smiling.

He and the monk named Cheng An were childhood friends and had lived together almost all their lives... When Tan Qianqiu saw the four guys chatting and laughing beside Cheng An, a hint of coldness flashed in his narrowed eyes.

How dare those four guys who came later snatch his Cheng An away? And... and...! When Tan Qianqiu thought of what Cheng An had told him a few days ago, his blood pressure rose. Two years, he and Cheng An had been separated for two years, and in those two years, his girlfriend was poached! Those four shameless guys!

Lin Xiaoxiao also noticed the little interaction between Tan Qianqiu and Cheng An. She frowned slightly and tilted her head while smacking her lips.

What is this? Is this the male version of Quintessential Quintuplets? This is insane... Can't these people just not do it during a competition if they want to have an emotional entanglement? Look, they're going to lose, right?

Tan Qianqiu on the arena suddenly felt something was wrong. His pupils shrank and his legs went weak for a moment. Then he looked at Jin Tao with a look of confusion and fear.

At this moment, Jin Tao opened her mouth and swept away all the flames in an instant, and rushed towards Tan Qianqiu with flames all over her body.

The Taotie pattern on Jin Tao's back allows her to devour the spiritual power of others and store it in her body for her own use. Although it will be gradually "digested" over time, the power will be basically the same if she eats it directly and uses it directly.

Tan Qianqiu, not knowing how powerful she was, hurriedly tried to swing his fan to fight back, but Jin Tao's speed was too fast. As soon as Tan Qianqiu moved his hand, Jin Tao's fist had already arrived in front of him.

But there were no injuries on Tan Qianqiu's face. Instead, Jin Tao looked a little strange, but she continued to chase.

Jin Tao felt that the punch she just threw felt very strange.

Of course it would be strange. Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She really didn't expect that this man named Tan actually had the inheritance of the word spirit technique.

The art of word spirit is a move that can only be performed by cultivators after they have comprehended the meaning, connotation and laws of the word through a special method. Its power is related to the degree of comprehension, and if the degree of comprehension is too low, there may be backlash.

Lin Xiaoxiao heard it. Tan Qianqiu must have said "protect" in a very low voice just now.

But Jin Tao's attack did not stop because of this. Instead, it became faster and faster. His fist was stained with the fire-attributed spiritual power that originally belonged to Tan Qianqiu, and the punch was also extremely powerful.

Hey, this little girl is just what she likes. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded as she watched this scene. Except for being a little weak, she was just like her in a fight.

When the time comes, give her a few bottles of monster blood or something like that.

Jin Tao hit Tan Qianqiu on the chest with a heavy punch, and Tan Qianqiu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The "Protect" word spirit that protected him had been cracked a little, and he would definitely lose if he continued like this.

But Cheng An had already passed one round. If he lost here... Absolutely not! Tan Qianqiu gritted his teeth, put away his folding fan, and a long knife flew out of the mustard bag on his waist, forcing Jin Tao to retreat.

"My fellow Taoist, be careful..." The long sword floated in front of Tan Qianqiu, and Tan Qianqiu spoke lightly, his tone very solemn and serious.

"Word Spirit, cut."

Tan Qianqiu gripped the hilt of the long sword, and an astonishing aura burst out from his body... But in fact, up to this point, Lin Xiaoxiao was not too moved. She was not surprised until the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to fluctuate.

The Great Dao echoed? Although the degree of echo was not high, this kid really had something. It was not easy for someone at the initial stage of Refining Void to be able to do this.

To be honest, she felt from the beginning that it was unlikely that Jin Tao would win, because Jin Tao had a breakthrough when she was poisoned. The power of heaven and earth that was originally used to temper her body was mostly eliminated by the strange poison, which resulted in an unstable foundation for Jin Tao, who was in the early stage of refining the void. Moreover, it was obvious that Tan Qianqiu had been in the early stage of refining the void for a long time, but he did not use the art of words and was not good at close combat, so he was restrained by Jin Tao's Taotie pattern.

But now Tan Qianqiu's move directly reversed the disadvantage. Jin Tao stopped awkwardly and spread his hands: "I admit defeat."

She really couldn't bear the blow of the knife.

"Young friend Jin, don't be depressed," Elder Wang said calmly, "You have a hidden disease caused by poison, so it is understandable that you lost the battle. It is rare to have a Taotie pattern and destiny. You can come to my seat and become a personal disciple."

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that Jin Tao had a hidden poisonous injury, but Lin Xiaoxiao had eaten all the elixirs and spiritual plants in the Medicine King Valley before, and the poisonous injury was in Jin Tao's lower dantian. After hiding her identity, Lin Xiaoxiao could not easily use any spiritual roots other than the ice spiritual roots, otherwise it would take another day to change back to the identity of "Liu Xiao", because if she used the Phoenix Fire, the yang element would quickly fill her whole body, and she now had an extremely yin ice spiritual root.

Although she tried her best to adjust Jin Tao, to be honest, her Ice Spirit Root had just grown out, and not only was she unskilled in using it, but the Ice Spirit Root itself didn't seem to be very convinced of her... As a result, the progress of Jin Tao's treatment was greatly slowed down.

However, it is rare to be born with Taotie patterns. If it devours the blood of other exotic beasts in the future, it may fully stimulate the power of Taotie. How could Fulu Sect let it go? Look, it has been taken away.

Jin Tao sat back next to Lin Xiaoxiao and said in dissatisfaction: "I will definitely beat him up next time..."

"Okay, don't be so sad, you are the pre-selected champion," Lin Xiaoxiao threw two bottles of blood to Jin Tao and said calmly, "This is the blood of high-level monsters. It will be good for you after refining it."

"Thank you, Sister Liu Xiao~" Jin Tao hugged Lin Xiaoxiao and rubbed against her, "Sister Liu Xiao is the best~"

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. Why is this child like Ye Lan... I don’t know how Ye Lan is doing. I will go find Song Hanyun and the others after some time. They should be able to reconcile, right?

The two bottles of blood that Lin Xiaoxiao gave to Jin Tao were her own. The dragon blood in her body was irrigated by the power of the Phoenix and Kunpeng, and then absorbed the essence of various spiritual medicines and the blood of monsters. It was also nurtured by the five elements of the five spirit beads and the power of Lin Xiaoxiao's divinity. Until now...

High-level monster? Haha, the blood of monsters without some divinity can't compare to the quality of Lin Xiaoxiao's blood, right? The real thing is super high-end stuff.
