Bamboo Mound

Sure enough! As soon as he opened his mouth, Ning Chang could tell just by the tone of his voice!

"Well, she's still a green tea bitch..."

If it weren't for the fact that the match hadn't started yet and it didn't violate the rules, Ning Changlian would have eliminated her and left before even hearing the first sentence.

"My sister's name is Bai Ke'er. If we fight later, I hope you'll be considerate of me because I'm a weak woman."

Brother, you didn't go too far, did you? If you want this ranking, just tell me, and I'll surrender!

"Oh, brother~ say something! I don't even know your name!"

Ning Chang's face darkened, his hands clenching and unclenching, every word spoken here was torture for his ears.

"Ning Chang." He took a deep breath and gave his name.

"Also, stop with your little tricks, you've already lost."

He announced with a stern face.

"Oh, Brother Ning Chang, what are you saying? If you want to win, you should just surrender. Why are you slandering me for no reason?"

Bai Ke'er was surprised and asked with teary eyes.

She didn't believe Ning Chang could discover her purpose, and only took it as Ning Chang bluffing.

What she didn't know was that, in Ning Chang's eyes, ever since she stepped onto the battle stage, strands of blue spiritual energy had been emanating from the ground beneath her feet, gathering into a single force that stretched towards Ning Chang's feet.

Moreover, it actively absorbed the spiritual energy around it, and without much refinement, it was transmitted underground, causing Ning Chang's spiritual power to mix with the underground spiritual energy flow.

Ning Chang, who saw all of this clearly, grew increasingly dark-skinned as Bai Ke'er tried to distract him.

He even wondered how this guy could think that such obvious spiritual power could go undetected.

He didn't want to waste any more time on this green tea, so he snorted and easily seized control of the spiritual energy underground. He then pulled it to the ground and scattered it all.

Bai Ke'er never expected that Ning Chang could see her setup and even mix spiritual energy into it.

She wasn't very skilled at controlling so much unconverted spiritual energy, and she was also startled by Ning Chang's words, which is why Ning Chang was able to take it away so easily and without any resistance.

Upon seeing this, her face instantly darkened.

Although she was a manipulative woman, she wasn't stupid. The Qingyun Sect disciple in front of her could easily neutralize her spiritual power. Even though she hadn't fully controlled it, it was enough to show that the other party's control over spiritual power was far superior to hers!

Moreover, Ning Chang clearly did not want to have any conversation with her, and her voice could not be heard in the spectator stands, so she could not use the voices of her junior brothers to put pressure on her.

Realizing that she could only fight with her true strength, her expression instantly hardened.

"Since brother is so heartless, then sister has no choice but to fight alongside brother."

As he spoke, he took out several talismans and was about to stick them on his body, while simultaneously releasing his spiritual power to try and condense array patterns.

"I told you, you've already lost."

Ning Chang's gloomy words came again.

Bai Ke'er remained unmoved, took out a few spirit needles and threw them at Ning Chang, while moving quickly to dodge Ning Chang's possible attacks, providing cover for the array she was drawing.

Seeing this, Ning Chang sighed softly. He couldn't understand how someone as stupid as Bai Ke'er could become a personal disciple.

If the spirit needles she flung out were just spirit needles, it would be fine, but they were too fine for Ning Chang to see clearly.

But the key lies in the water-attribute spiritual power she imbued the spirit needles with, making them look like a fluorescent ghost face in the night, trying to scare people.

Left with no other choice, he took a half step back, released a few bamboo leaves, caught up with the spirit needles, and guided them to change direction. At the same time, he wrapped the needles with his own leaves, thus taking control of the spirit needles.

He then controlled the spirit needles to pierce Bai Ke'er.

He's now thinking he has to teach her a lesson.

Bai Ke'er affixed a spirit-gathering talisman and a speed-traveling talisman to herself, and while running around the battle stage, she absorbed the spiritual power she released to draw an array. She was confident that as long as the array was completed, she could easily eliminate Ning Chang.

As for the spirit needle, she never intended to control it; to her, it was merely a consumable. Therefore, she did not notice that Ning Chang had taken the spirit needle.

Seeing that Ning Chang easily dodged, she immediately took out a few more spirit needles, preparing to throw them again.

However, before they could take any action, Ning Chang noticed their movements.

At this moment, the Bamboo Leaf Needle was already very close to Bai Ke'er.

Currently, Bai Ke'er only has a small portion of spiritual energy left in her dantian. Ning Chang, holding onto the spiritual energy, swiftly extracted it all from the location where Bai Ke'er was drawing the array patterns!

In an instant, Bai Ke'er's face turned pale, and the feeling of his spiritual energy being instantly depleted made him feel sluggish.

At the same time, the talisman lost its spiritual power supply and became ineffective instantly. The residual inertia caught her off guard and caused her to fall to the ground.

Under Ning Chang's control, all the spirit needles pierced under her fingernails!

This was Ning Chang's result after a little thought. If the needle was stuck in other parts of the body, the pain would only be temporary, and a simple treatment would bring about a full recovery.

If the needle pierces the nail bed, the pain will be more intense, and treatment will likely be slower, leaving her with lingering pain and discomfort for a while.

The number of spirit needles was not large, so Ning Chang also inserted half of the spirit needles into each of his hands.

However, judging from Bai Ke'er's performance, it was clear that the pain caused by the acupuncture needles was ignored by her nervous system due to the fall.

This made Ning Chang quite unhappy.

Two breaths later, Bai Ke'er finally recovered from her dizziness and quickly looked inward at her dantian.

"This is impossible! How can you control my spiritual power! I... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, she cried out in alarm and fainted.

She shouted as she tried to stand up, supporting herself with her hands on the ground.

However, as soon as she exerted force with her hands, she touched the spiritual needles at her fingertips. The intense pain from her nerves dealt a severe blow to her already unstable mind, causing her to faint on the spot.

"Tsk, just like that, she got off easy again. But it really hurts, huh? It really can make someone faint. I wonder if she'll wake up from the pain?"

Ning Chang stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "It seems we can prepare some needles later; they'll be quite useful."

He glanced at Bai Ke'er, who was lying on the ground, and then looked towards the Huayu Sect's viewing platform.

Turning back, the host and an old man appeared next to Bai Ke'er.

The two of them each sensed Bai Ke'er's condition.

The old man nodded to Ning Chang. "Young man, you're quite good. My disciple does indeed need to be taught a lesson."

He then raised his hand and sucked up the unconscious Bai Ke'er, saying, "Sigh, I hope you'll really learn your lesson this time."

After saying that, he took a step forward, bringing Bai Ke'er, who was floating, back to the Huayu Sect's viewing platform.

At this moment, the host nodded to Ning Chang and announced to the audience:

"Ning Chang, a direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect, wins against Bai Ke'er, a direct disciple of the Huayu Sect!"
