The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"That's right, it's the Blood Spirit Pill!" Zhao Tianming sneered. "I didn't want to do anything, but you, Chen Xuan, have gone too far. Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

After saying that, Zhao Tianming charged at Chen Xuan again and slashed out with his sword. The power of the sword was more than twice as strong as before.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan's expression turned slightly serious. Not daring to be careless, he immediately unleashed his sword technique and charged forward.

boom!

With a loud bang, Chen Xuan was forced back a step, while Zhao Tianming took three steps back.

"How is this possible? Senior Brother Chen Xuan was actually forced back a step!"

"Could it be that Zhao Tianming's strength has really increased so much after taking the Blood Spirit Pill?"

Everyone was shocked by what they saw. No one expected that Zhao Tianming would be so ruthless, actually taking the Blood Spirit Pill in order to defeat Chen Xuan.

"He's on drugs. Looks like I'll have to get a little more serious!"

Seeing that Zhao Tianming's cultivation level had reached the same level as his own due to drug use, Chen Xuan decided to stop holding back and intended to kill him with one blow.

As we all know, even if these protagonists in novels take drugs, they won't experience any side effects. In fact, they might even gain some kind of insight from it, leading to a sudden enlightenment and a qualitative change!

He, Chen Xuan, would not allow such a thing to happen!

Then, the longsword in Chen Xuan's hand shone brightly, like a divine weapon, exuding a sharp sword intent.

"Flying immortals from beyond the heavens!"

Chen Xuan let out a low shout, thrusting out his longsword. A sword beam pierced through the void, carrying unparalleled power, and slashed towards Zhao Tianming.

This sword strike was as if it were made by an immortal, its imposing momentum so great that no one dared to look directly at it.

But in reality, this was just a sword strike he used with all his might, and it didn't even have a name; he just said it offhand.

Looking at Chen Xuan, who seemed like an immortal being, Zhao Tianming's pupils shrank, and his face turned ashen. He already felt the threat of death.

He couldn't catch it! If he dared to take that sword strike, he would surely die! He felt that he was full of openings and couldn't even run away!

"Master, I'm sorry, you're of little use to me now, so please save my life!" Zhao Tianming murmured to himself.

Qian Muli: "???"

The next moment, Zhao Tianming no longer hesitated, directly pulled off the jade pendant, and then threw the jade pendant in his hand to Chen Xuan in the face of this attack!

Qian Muli: "??!!!"

boom!

A powerful burst of energy erupted, and the jade pendant completely blocked Chen Xuan's attack. At the same time, the aftershock also sent Zhao Tianming flying.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the jade pendant with cracks on the ground.

"Chen Xuan, I admit defeat this time, but I will definitely avenge this humiliation one day!" Zhao Tianming spat out another mouthful of blood, steadied himself, and jumped off the stage, speaking coldly.

"I'll be waiting anytime!" Chen Xuan said calmly, then picked up the cracked jade pendant and turned back to his own circle.

As Zhao Tianming watched Chen Xuan turn and leave, his eyes were filled with resentment and venom. He secretly vowed that he would not be a man if he did not avenge this grudge!

He then left the square.

Watching Zhao Tianming's departing figure, a cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes, but the most urgent matter was the jade pendant in his hand.

"Ding! It has been found that Qian Muli, the master of the Chosen One Zhao Tianming, has completely lost hope in him, and even hates him. The host is rewarded with Destiny Points and 10 chances to draw a prize. The host has successfully captured Qian Muli and is rewarded with 1 Jianmu Fruit!"

"The fruit of the Jianmu tree? What's it used for?"

"It can bring the dead back to life, heal the bones, and reshape the body."

"Huh? Such a wonderful treasure? Your system is so generous!"

"Ding! Due to Qian Muli's special identity, the host can choose from the following three routes, each with different rewards!"

1. Become Qian Muli's disciple and rebuild her body, and you will be rewarded with a small opportunity in the cultivation world!

2. Become friends with Qian Muli and reshape her body. Reward the host with a certain amount of Destiny Points. Cultivation will not be suppressed during the Nascent Soul stage.

3. Take Qian Muli as a slave and rebuild her body. As a reward, the Blue Star Secret Realm will be upgraded once and become a blessed land!

"Hiss, ah, this..." Chen Xuan was stunned when he saw the choice given by the system.

These three items are all treasures! To be honest, he wanted them all, but the soul inside this jade pendant was named Qian Muli, which meant she might be some kind of empress's master or something. Taking her as a slave... that was incredibly exciting!

He desperately wanted to have a proper talk with the soul in his hands, but unfortunately, he was in the middle of a competition and couldn't deal with her.

Left with no other choice, he threw the jade pendant into the Blue Star Secret Realm, where it was placed under the strict guard of Fairy Bixiao.

"Ding! Zhao Tianming, the chosen one of destiny, now has a destiny value of 2000 points, which is close to the kill line. Host, please keep a close eye on him to prevent him from taking off again!"

“Indeed, he’s managed to come up with so many strange and unusual things in just a few days. We should stop supporting him and just find another chosen one. His unpredictability is a bit too much.” Chen Xuan agreed wholeheartedly.

So he stood up and announced to everyone present: "Fellow junior brothers, I have something to attend to and can't stay here with you any longer. If you can't decide the top 32 within 15 minutes, I'll decide for you!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.

"Senior Brother Chen Xuan, what are you trying to do?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Chen Xuan, this is against the rules!"

"Rules? What rules? Sect rules, or kingdom rules?" Chen Xuan said calmly. "I already gave you a chance, but you were useless. You were dawdling here, and I was almost falling asleep."

"This, this..." Everyone was speechless after Chen Xuan's rebuttal, and for a moment they couldn't find any reason to refute him.

"Since you can't think of a good solution, then I'll lend you a hand!"

"You have one incense stick's time left. If you still can't determine the top 32, then I'll step in and decide for you directly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked and looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

"Fellow junior brothers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you'd better hurry!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, then closed his eyes and ignored everyone.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Chen Xuan was serious. They had no choice but to do their best to determine the top 32 within the allotted time.

In an instant, the entire arena was once again engulfed in fierce combat. However, their hearts were filled with resentment, secretly cursing Chen Xuan for being tyrannical, domineering, and unreasonable.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, closed his eyes and rested leisurely, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
