Long River Eternity

In the space of the stone tablet, Jiulie Jun was pressed to the ground by Shi Gang and beaten repeatedly. He had no power to fight back. Jiulie Jun could only transform back into his original form. The huge willow tree appeared in front of Shi Gang again, and then hundreds of willow branches swung wildly, forcing Shi Gang to retreat.

"I didn't want to use this move because the destructive power is too great. However, in ordinary challenges, injury or death will not affect reality. Take it! Willow Blade Storm!" Jiuliejun's voice came from the willow tree.

Then, the whole willow tree began to spin wildly, and all the willow branches swayed with the rotation of the willow tree, like a propeller that could strangle everything, and crashed towards Shi Gang.

A willow leaf that was thrown out from the willow tree flew across Shi Gang's cheek, and a shallow blood mark appeared on his face. It can be seen how sharp these willow leaves are, not to mention the rapidly swinging willow branches.

Shi Gang's flesh and blood body did not dare to fight back, and he kept moving away from the willow tree, but he was still scratched by countless willow leaves. His skin was torn and bleeding all over.

Shi Gang dodged while making hand gestures, then stretched out his palm towards the willow tree: "Thunder net!" A huge net woven by lightning appeared between Shi Gang and the willow tree.

However, the lightning net only blocked the willow tree for a moment before it was torn into pieces by the willow branches and continued to rush towards Shi Gang. However, this moment was enough time for Shi Gang to form another seal.

Purple Thunder Cage

As the willow tree broke through the lightning net, a huge cage made of purple lightning appeared above the willow tree and fell straight down, trapping the willow tree inside. The willow tree kept hitting the cage, causing lightning to spread everywhere.

At this time, Shi Gang formed another seal, this time more complex than the previous ones. Shi Gang said, "Let me show you my new skill, Nine Heavens Thunder!"

As Shi Gang formed seals, the sky was once again covered with thicker dark clouds. Ninety-nine and eighty-one purple lightning bolts as thick as arms fell from the sky at the same time, condensing into a huge lightning pillar almost as thick as a willow tree, and landed on the rotating willow tree.

Purple lightning struck the willow tree, continuously emitting lightning bolts. Gradually, the tree's rotation slowed down, and finally, the moment it came to a complete stop, the entire lightning column passed through the willow tree, scattering all the leaves and splitting a dark crack in the trunk, nearly splitting the tree in two.

"Shi Gangsheng"

On the ranking list, the 20th place changed from Jiuliejun's name to Shi Gang.

Then Shi Gang's consciousness was transmitted back to reality.

Shi Gang opened his eyes, a trace of worry in his eyes. He looked around but couldn't find Jiu Lie Jun. He should not be in this square. However, thinking of what Jiu Lie Jun said, that ordinary challenges would not affect reality regardless of the outcome, he felt relieved for the time being.

"That's great, Shi Gang. That last move was pretty powerful." Ye Tingxue stepped forward and praised.

"What's so great about it? It's so hard to get to 20th place. I thought it should not be difficult to get into the top ten, but I didn't expect there are so many geniuses in the mainland." Shi Gang was a little hit.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Those on the rankings are people who have practiced for more than ten years or even dozens of years. We have only practiced for a short month and have already reached the 20th place. What are you still dissatisfied with? You can take a rest and we will give it a try." Yang An comforted Shi Gang.

"Okay, although you won't get hurt, it's really tiring. Have you chosen your opponent?" Shi Gang sat down on the ground and asked Yang An.

"Yang An, wait a moment, let me try first. I have already chosen my opponent." Ye Tingxue said anxiously.

"Oh? Since you have made your choice, then you go first. Who did you choose?" Yang An asked.

"No. 16 on the Pangu List, at the peak of the Water Element Wind Control Realm - Rain Master's Concubine." Ye Tingxue introduced.

"What?! You want to challenge the Pangu List, or the peak of the Wind Control Realm? What realm are you in?" After hearing this, Shi Gang jumped up from the ground excitedly and asked.

"What's wrong? I'm a natural spiritual root, a disciple of Nuwa, and at the peak of the Wind Control Realm. Is there any problem for me to challenge the Pangu List?" Ye Tingxue said proudly with his hands on his hips.

"You have also reached the peak of the Wind Control Realm?" Yang Nian was also a little surprised after hearing Ye Tingxue's words.

"Yes, if my master hadn't stopped me from breaking through, I would have reached the Heyuan realm long ago. But luckily I didn't break through, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to the list." Ye Tingxue said.

"It has to be Nuwa, she picked the most perverted one." Shi Gang sighed.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to challenge you." Ye Tingxue said as he came to the stone tablet, soared into the air, and pointed at the name of the 16th Rain Master's Concubine. After waiting for a moment, Ye Tingxue's eyes lit up, and he waved to the three of them and said, "She agreed. It's a normal challenge. I'm leaving!"

Immediately, the projection on the square lit up, showing the scene of the upcoming battle.

Standing before Ye Tingxue was a charming, voluptuous, and beautiful woman in a black dress. Her most striking features were the two snake-shaped earrings, one blue and one red. Today, Ye Tingxue was wearing a pure white, fitted dress. Her petite figure and charming demeanor formed a stark contrast to Yu Shiqi's concubine.

"Wow, the battle between two beauties. So exciting." said someone in the audience.

"You just look at the beauties. Can't you see? This is Yu Shiqi, number 16 on the Pangu list. Who is the one opposite? I've never seen her before." Another audience member said excitedly.

At this time, the concubine of the Rain Master in the projection spoke: "Little sister, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time?"

"Yes, it's my first time to go out and gain experience." Ye Tingxue said.

"Oh! You're challenging the Pangu List for the first time. You're really confident, little sister. Aren't you afraid that your sister will be in a bad mood today and start a life-and-death challenge?" Yu Shiqi said with a little surprise.

"Sister, this is not turned on. It shows that you are kind-hearted." Ye Tingxue said with a smile, a little naughty.

"You're such a sweet talker, but I won't show any mercy, so be careful." said Yu Shiqi.

Before he finished speaking, Yu Shiqi took the first step. As geniuses ranked at the top of the Pangu list, they were all battle-hardened and would not take it lightly just because the opponent was a rookie or spoke kindly.

Yu Shiqi waved her hand and condensed three water arrows to attack Ye Tingxue's vital points: the center of the eyebrows, the center of the temples, and the dantian.

Ye Tingxue also waved her hand, and three wooden spikes shot towards Yu Shiqi's three vital parts. The wooden spikes and water arrows collided in the air and exploded in the air. It seemed that the first confrontation was evenly matched, but in fact, due to the mutual generation and restraint relationship between water and wood, Yu Shiqi's realm was superior.

Ye Tingxue naturally understood this principle, so she prepared to seize the initiative, quickly forming hand seals and attacking again. Several vines sprang from the ground, whipping towards Yu Shiqi. Yu Shiqi formed a hand seal with one hand, then swung out a water blade, slashing at the vines. Instantly, most of the vines were split in two, leaving only two that shifted position in the air, switching from lashing to stabbing, avoiding the water blades and continuing to shoot towards Yu Shiqi.

Yu Shiqi was unable to fight back and had to summon a water wall to block the two vines. The vines hit the water wall and stopped after penetrating only half an inch. Yu Shiqi pushed the water wall forward, and the vines were pressed to the ground by the water wall and then exploded.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tingxue's attack was not over yet. Just after dealing with the vines, he found that Ye Tingxue summoned two giant tree men rushing towards him.
