He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately collected his mind and concentrated his energy on gathering the power of thunder and lightning around him.

For a moment, the crackling sound of electricity resounded through the sky, and arcs of electricity flickered and jumped in his hands, like nimble dragons, ready to strike, ready to meet the impending attack.

"Thunderous!" Luo Yu also shouted loudly, his whole body was wrapped in lightning, as if he could tear the sky apart.

The two of them each used all their strength to continuously gather the spiritual power in their bodies.

Two extremely sharp rays of light streaked across the sky like meteors and collided with each other with lightning speed!

There was only a loud "boom" sound, as if the whole world was shaking.

The deafening roar was like thunder from the sky, resounding through the clouds, making people cover their ears.

The disciples of the sect below the stage opened their eyes wide and watched every move on the ring nervously, afraid of missing any exciting moment.

Everyone knew that the end of this attack would be the moment that decided the outcome.

Nie Xiuyuan's Golden Dawn and Luo Yu's Thunderous Power clashed fiercely in the air. The power of the two seemed to be equal, but Luo Yu's thunder and lightning power seemed to be more violent, gradually suppressing Nie Xiuyuan's golden light.

"Impossible..." Nie Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and insisted, but his body had begun to tremble, and he had obviously reached his limit.

Luo Yu saw Nie Xiuyuan's predicament and knew that his chance had come, so he increased the output of lightning power.

"It's over." Luo Yu said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Xiuyuan was knocked out and landed heavily outside the ring.

The audience below burst into exclamations; they didn't expect the fight to end like this.

Nie Xiuyuan stood up with difficulty, he knew he had lost.

After a brief silence, the crowd suddenly exploded like a lit powder keg, and the noisy sound filled the entire arena.

"How could Nie Xiuyuan lose? This is simply unbelievable! He must not have used his full strength!"

A sharp voice cut through the noise and reached everyone's ears clearly.

When the others heard this, it was as if their emotions were ignited, and they all followed suit.

For a time, all kinds of doubts and speculations came like a tide.

"Yes, Nie Xiuyuan can fight against opponents of higher ranks, equivalent to an eighth-rank Spiritual Emperor, while that junior brother is only a fifth-rank Spiritual Emperor..."

"He must be hiding his strength!"

Everyone was asking Nie Xiuyuan whether he really had reservations, and disbelief was written all over their faces.

Faced with everyone's questioning, Nie Xiuyuan could only shake his head helplessly, his face slightly pale, and said, "I have tried my best."

Unfortunately, his explanation seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. Everyone still looked at him with suspicion, as if they believed that he was still hiding something.

Nie Xiuyuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He felt wronged that no one believed him even though he was telling the truth. At this moment, he even felt a little sympathy for Si Yang, the first to lose the game.

Just now, when he saw Si Yang being knocked down by Mu Qingli, he had suspected that the other party was deliberately letting him win.

But now, the same experience befell him, and he deeply felt the inexpressible pain.

Thinking of this, Nie Xiuyuan subconsciously turned his head to look for Si Yang's figure. Their eyes met in the air.

Si Yang actually gave him a faint smile, which seemed to contain understanding, and even a hint of imperceptible teasing.

Nie Xiuyuan's heart trembled, and he quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at Si Yang again.

He could no longer tolerate the gossip of the people around him. He felt that these voices were like countless needles piercing his heart.

So, he staggered and turned around, fleeing in panic, fearing that if he stayed even a second longer, he would lose control of his inner urge and rush onto the stage to challenge again, only to suffer the humiliation of failure once again.

At this moment, the other waiting challengers began to shout, expressing that they also wanted to go on stage to compete with their junior brothers and sisters. For a while, it was very lively.

Seeing this, the elder in the arena narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the noisy crowd below the stage, then slowly called out a person's name.

The person whose name was called immediately became so excited that his face flushed red, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he rushed onto the stage first.

After he had gained his footing, he couldn't wait to shout out loudly before his opponent even stepped onto the stage: "My name is Lin Qing, and my current cultivation level is the seventh level of Spiritual Emperor!"

Mu Qingli, who was standing by and watching the fight, just glanced at him indifferently after hearing the voice, and then gave Shangguan Xiyue a look without any expression.

Shangguan Xiyue smiled slightly after receiving the signal, and then she moved as lightly as a swallow, tapped her feet lightly, and landed on the ring gracefully like a petal dancing in the wind.

When Lin Qing saw that it was a woman walking onto the stage, he was slightly stunned, and then scratched his head embarrassedly.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Xiao Lingyi who was standing not far away, and said loudly: "Miss, I'm really sorry, I actually want to compete with the junior brother over there."

Shangguan Xiyue's eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of doubt flickered in her beautiful eyes. She opened her red lips and asked, "Do you look down on me?"

Her words were clear and pleasant, yet contained a hint of questioning.

Lin Qing, who was standing opposite Shangguan Xiyue, heard this and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly:

"That's not the case. I just think you're a girl. As a man, I really can't bear to attack you, let alone bully you."

After saying this, he showed a simple smile.

However, after hearing these words, Shangguan Xiyue suddenly chuckled, and her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell.

She raised her head slightly and said confidently, "You're overthinking it! Even though I'm a woman, I can still defeat you!"

The senior brothers and sisters below the arena couldn't help but discuss Shangguan Xiyue's domineering declaration. One of the senior brothers spoke first, "Who do you think will win this competition?"

Another senior brother immediately chimed in, "I originally thought Lin Qing had a better chance of winning, after all, he practices very hard every day. But now that even Si Yang and Nie Xiuyuan have been defeated by these junior brothers and sisters, I'm a little unsure."

At this time, another senior sister suggested: "Since everyone has different opinions, why don't we just make a bet? I bet Lin Qing will win, and I'll bet 500 spirit stones."
