Junior sister took first place again

Deep within the "Flame Hell Refining Realm," Ning Jiasheng felt an ancient and mysterious power surge. This power was unlike the aura of any living being; it was more like a pure energy nurtured by the refining realm itself.

She took a deep breath, adjusted herself, and prepared to face the upcoming challenge. Her eyes were determined, and she gripped the sword tightly, the blade gleaming coldly in the firelight.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the depths of the refining realm, like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth, shaking the entire earth.

Ning Jiasheng's heart tightened and he quickly looked up. He saw a huge pillar of fire rising into the sky, standing between heaven and earth like a giant pillar.

In the pillar of fire, a huge figure made of flames and rocks slowly emerged.

It was a fire giant that was dozens of feet tall. Its body was made of hot lava and blazing flames, as if it was a demon that walked out of hell.

Every step it took shook the earth, emitting a dull thud, as if it were about to crush the entire world. Its skin was crimson, flowing with boiling magma, emitting a suffocating heat wave.

Its head was engulfed in blazing flames, its eyes like burning magma, gleaming with a fiery light. Wherever its gaze reached, everything turned to ashes, and nothing could withstand its gaze.

At this moment, those blazing eyes suddenly locked onto Ning Jiasheng. Ning Jiasheng felt a powerful pressure coming at him, as if he had become the prey of this flaming giant.

She couldn't help but gasp, her heart beating rapidly.

run!

This was the only thought that came to Ning Jiasheng's mind.

Without any hesitation, she flew away on her sword in an instant, but soon she discovered that every step the fire giant took caused the earth to shake, and this vibration seemed to trigger some mechanism, causing the surrounding rocks to begin to activate and turn into stone men.

Although these stone men are small in size, there are many of them. There is a faint blue light flashing in their eyes. They move quickly and keep approaching Ning Jiasheng.

Ning Jiasheng realized that this land was the domain of the Fire Giants, and every step she took could awaken more stone men. She had to find a way to avoid the Fire Giants' pursuit while avoiding awakening more stone men.

She began to jump from rock to rock, trying to avoid direct contact with the ground.

Her swordsmanship was light and swift, and each swing of her sword accurately hit the stone men's weak points, pushing them back one by one. However, the number of stone men seemed endless. No matter how many she defeated, there were always new stone men awakening from the rocks.

Beads of sweat oozed out of Ning Jiasheng's forehead and her breathing began to become rapid. This was not a solution. She needed to find a breakthrough, an opportunity that would allow her to escape the pursuit.

While dodging danger after danger, Ning Jiasheng discovered a strange phenomenon: when the stone figure's eyes met the giant's, its movements would briefly pause. A thought struck her, and a plan gradually took shape.

Ning Jiasheng began to consciously guide the attention of the stone men around the fire, while moving among the stone men to create opportunities for the stone men to see the giant.

Sure enough, every time the stone man turned towards the giant, his movements would stop. Although the time was extremely short, it was enough for Ning Jiasheng.

She took advantage of this opportunity, constantly moving back and forth among the stone men, while directing the fire giant's attacks, creating chaos. The stone men began to shatter under the scorching flames, and the fire giant seemed to become even more violent because of Ning Jiasheng's provocation.

Finally, with a perfect command, Ning Jiasheng successfully made the Flame Giant's flames hit an area densely populated with stone men. The stone men were reduced to pieces in the flames, and the Flame Giant seemed to be temporarily stagnant due to excessive consumption.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Jiasheng quickly flew deeper into the Refining Realm. She knew the Fire Giant would not give up the pursuit, but she had already found a way to deal with these rock guardians.

Ning Jiasheng's speed increased, her figure moving between flames and rocks like a ghost.

Ning Jiasheng's heart was filled with determination. She didn't know when this escape would end, but she wouldn't give up. She would continue to fight until she found a way out of the "Infernal Hell" or until her strength was exhausted.

No matter what, she would not succumb to the threat of these rock guardians. If she was teleported out after only reaching the second floor, that would be too weak.

While fleeing, Ning Jiasheng realized that she had to find a way to get rid of these guards. As she ran, her eyes wandered around the refining realm, looking for any possible escape route.

Suddenly, she noticed a strange distortion in space. It seemed to be an unstable point in the refining realm, where the texture of space became blurred, as if it was a portal to another world.

Ning Jiasheng's idea moved, and he flew towards the place where the space was distorted, while constantly using illusion and invisibility techniques to cover his whereabouts.

Although the fire giants and stone guards were chasing closely, their movements became slow near the space distortion, as if that space was extremely unfavorable for them.

When Ning Jiasheng approached the space distortion, he took a deep breath, concentrated all his spiritual power on one point, and then suddenly jumped into the distorted void.

Her body felt a huge tearing force the moment it crossed the space, but soon she found herself in a completely different space.

This was an isolated island in the void, surrounded by endless darkness, with only the island itself emitting a faint light. Ning Jiasheng landed on the island, and her feet were no longer on the scorching earth, but a ground composed of pure energy. This environment was deadly for the rock guards of the Refining Realm.

Ning Jiasheng knew that she was safe for the time being. Here she could recover her strength, heal her wounds, and think about how to completely escape the pursuit.

She sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the spiritual power in her body, repairing the damage to her body and absorbing the energy from the void island to restore her spiritual power.

Ning Jiasheng concentrated her mind and calmed her breath, allowing her soul to merge with the energy of this space. Her body began to emit a faint light, which was a sign that she was in sync with this space.

She sat quietly on this empty island, her body rising and falling slowly with the rhythm of her breathing, and each breath seemed to be synchronized with the pulse of this space.

As time went by, Ning Jiasheng's strength unknowingly returned to its peak state. Hiding here all the time was not a solution to the problem. She needed to face the challenge and find a way to pass the "Flame Prison Refining Realm".

But Ning Jiasheng had already discovered after dodging all the way that the attacks of the cultivators with fire spiritual roots were ineffective against the fire giant, which made her fall into deep thought.

Ning Jiasheng recalled her own cultivation journey and the various knowledge she had learned in the sect. She realized that perhaps the answer did not lie in the power of attack, but in strategy and wisdom.

She began to explore around the island, looking for possible clues.

Ning Jiasheng's days in the "Flame Hell" became increasingly difficult. Every time she left the empty island, it was to find a way to defeat the fire giants, but each time she returned to the island wounded.

Although her strength was recovering, her mind was beginning to tire.

That day, Ning Jiasheng was once again cornered by the fire giant and countless stone guards. Her clothes were tattered, her body covered in burns and scrapes, and her spiritual energy was dwindling. She barely managed to fly back to the Void Island on her sword, but on the way, she sensed a strange aura.

She turned her head and saw two figures through the flames and smoke. Their situation was not much better than hers. They were also disciples with fire spiritual roots and were also struggling to escape.

Their eyes met in the confusion, and a silent understanding formed between the three of them.

Without words or communication, they instinctively ran in the same direction—the Void Island. Ning Jiasheng was the closest, and she reached the island first, followed by the two disciples who stumbled after her.

The fire giants and stone guards seemed unable to step into this space. They could only roar and crash outside but could not reach the three people on the island.

The three of them panted on the island, their eyes gleaming with unwillingness and determination. Ning Jiasheng was the first to break the silence, proposing her own idea: "We can't passively avoid this any longer. We must find a solution."
