Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately received responses from many people.

"Okay, I'll also bet on Lin Qing to win, and I'll also bet 500 spirit stones."

"Count me in, I'm also optimistic about Lin Qing, one thousand spirit stones."

The cheers for Lin Qing's victory grew louder and louder. Suddenly, a senior sister asked doubtfully:

"We've all placed our bets on Lin Qing, but if he wins, won't we get any Spirit Stone rewards?"

This sudden question was like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heads, and the originally heated and exciting atmosphere instantly became quiet.

The senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, hesitation showing on their faces. However, although they all had their own thoughts, no one was the first to speak up and bet on Shangguan Xiyue's victory.

The atmosphere was awkward and tense for a moment, as if time had stopped at that moment.

In this suffocating atmosphere, a clear and firm voice suddenly broke the silence: "We bet on Shangguan Xiyue to win, the stakes are 100,000 spirit stones!"

These earth-shattering words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves and causing an uproar in the audience.

Almost everyone present was attracted by the sound at the same time. They all looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

They all wanted to see who had the courage to place such a huge bet on Shangguan Xiyue.

After all, compared with Lin Qing, Shangguan Xiyue really has no advantage at all.

A woman slowly walked out from the crowd. She was wearing a red dress and a mask on her face. She looked very cold.

This person was Mu Qingli. She calmly took out an exquisite space bag from her bosom and gently handed it to the senior brothers and sisters in front of her. She smiled and said, "Everyone, please take inventory."

The senior sister who took the space bag was stunned at first, then she opened the bag in front of everyone and began to count carefully.

Not long after, she announced loudly, "It is indeed one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching around burst into exclamations.

The pile of spirit stones emitting bright light made many people stare at it. Some people who were just watching the fun and had no intention of participating in the gamble could not help but gather around and join in the fun.

What's more, some people who originally wanted to bet on Shangguan Xiyue to win, after witnessing the entire 100,000 spirit stones with their own eyes, changed their minds without hesitation and placed their bets on Lin Qing.

Lin Qing stood quietly on the stage, his eyes fixed on Shangguan Xiyue opposite him, thinking secretly in his heart.

This competition with Shangguan Xiyue has become an unchangeable fact, and when he saw Mu Qingli take out the full 100,000 spirit stones without hesitation, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

You know, this is not a small amount! Junior Sister is so generous in giving out so many spirit stones, obviously she has high hopes for this competition.

If he ultimately won, his fellow junior brothers and sisters would suffer a huge loss. Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but hesitate. Should he show some mercy in the competition and save some face for his junior sisters?

Shangguan Xiyue was so smart and perceptive that she saw through Lin Qing's inner struggle almost the moment his expression changed, and spoke without hesitation:

"Brother Lin, I hope you can give it your all in the upcoming competition. There is no need to worry about anything. As for the outcome, it all depends on our true strength."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried an unquestionable firmness.

Lin Qing was slightly startled, and looked up to meet Shangguan Xiyue's clear and fearless eyes.

She looked calm and composed, without the slightest hint of anxiety. Lin Qing suddenly realized how disgusting his previous thoughts were, and felt a surge of shame in his heart.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and respectfully bowed to Shangguan Xiyue. He said solemnly, "Junior Sister Shangguan, please rest assured. I will do my best to show my full strength!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Qing's whole demeanor suddenly changed. His originally hesitant expression was replaced by determination, and he exuded a powerful aura of confidence.

The competition also kicked off at this time. Shangguan Xiyue on the ring quickly formed complex and mysterious hand seals with her hands. The air around her seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, and thick water vapor slowly rose like a layer of gauze.

As the hand seal was completed, the pervasive water vapor, as if summoned, began to gather and condense frantically. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic water dragon took shape.

This water dragon is lifelike, its crystal clear body sparkling with dazzling light, its sharp claws dancing in the air, making bursts of dragon roars, which is majestic and awe-inspiring.

Facing the aggressive water dragon, Lin Qing stomped his feet on the ground and slapped his palms at the same time. With a loud "boom", a thick earth wall rose from the ground, like an indestructible fortress, standing between him and the water dragon.

As soon as the earth wall rose, the water dragon hit it hard.

The moment the two collided, countless splashes of water and clods of earth burst out, and the entire arena was instantly covered by dust, making it difficult to see the specific movements of the two people for a moment.

The dust settled slightly, and Lin Qing was seen standing behind the earth wall, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

But Shangguan Xiyue did not stop. With a wave of her jade hand, the water dragon roared towards Lin Qing again.

Lin Qing gritted his teeth and quickly changed the gestures of his hands. Sharp stone spikes instantly grew out of the earth wall and smashed towards Shangguan Xiyue.

The people in the audience were watching with great nervousness.

"I shouldn't have bet on Lin Qing to win. The gap is too big. Are all the junior students in this class devils?" said a senior brother in frustration.

The senior sister next to him continued, "But Lin Qing won't be defeated so easily, right? He hasn't used his fire spirit root yet."

As soon as the senior sister finished speaking, the water dragon on the stage split into three. Two of them bypassed the stone spikes from the side, and one directly broke through the stone spikes. The huge impact force completely destroyed the earth wall.

Suddenly, a strong burst of fire burst out from Lin Qing's body. The flames wrapped him, steadying his body, and he attacked Shangguan Xiyue.

Shangguan Xiyue was not in a hurry when she saw this. She changed the magic formula in her hand, and a large number of ice spikes appeared out of thin air around the flames that were originally rushing towards her. At the same time, the three water dragons gathered into a larger force again, and while Lin Qing was dealing with the ice spikes, they suddenly pounced on him.

Lin Qing had just broken through the ice spikes, but it was too late to dodge the water dragon. He was hit hard and fell heavily on the arena.
