Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Lin Chengtian looked at Mu Shengyuan coldly: "She is not your sister, don't call her that."

Mu Shengyuan raised an eyebrow: "She's younger than me, so it's okay for her to call me 'little sister,' right?"

Lin Chengtian pointed his long sword directly at Mu Shengyuan: "You can call other people, but not her."

Mu Shengyuan: "Why?"

"Because she is my sister." With that, Lin Chengtian attacked Mu Shengyuan directly.

Mu Shengyuan was a little surprised. While dodging Lin Chengtian's attacks, he said, "Your surnames are not the same, so how could she be your sister?"

These words undoubtedly struck a chord with Zha Linchengtian, causing his attacks to become even more ferocious.

Two vines flew out from behind Mu Shengyuan, one towards Lin Chengtian, and the other towards Ling Yi.

Ling Yi originally intended to take the spirit orb while they were fighting, but unexpectedly, the white-skinned, black-hearted dumpling noticed him.

The sharp tips of the attacking vines were incredibly sharp. The moment the vines flew past, Ling Yi grabbed one and pulled hard. Mu Shengyuan, who was standing on the vine, looked over. The next moment, countless tiny tendrils sprouted from the vine that Ling Yi had grabbed, twisting and wrapping around Ling Yi's arm.

Ling Yi shook off the vines and leaped upwards.

The vines immediately gave chase.

Ling Yi led the vines downwards, heading towards Mu Shengyuan's direction.

The vines relentlessly pursued him, and just as they were about to reach Mu Shengyuan, Ling vanished in an instant, the tips of the vines striking Mu Shengyuan's face directly.

Mu Shengyuan looked at the vines, his dark green eyes seemed to light up for a moment, and the vines stopped abruptly and then disappeared.

Mu Shengyuan looked up and saw that Ling Yi had once again headed towards the spirit orb, but this time the person stopping Ling Yi was Dongfang Jibai, who had been watching the show all along.

"I thought you were going to just watch the show," Mu Shengyuan said, and then flew towards the spirit orb.

"How could that be?" Dongfang Jibai smiled. "Let's rely on our own abilities."

Upon hearing this, the competition area descended into complete chaos.

The arena was covered in vines, sword light, and flames. In the dazzling chaos, it was impossible to see who was closer to the spirit orb. All that could be seen was that just as someone was about to touch the spirit orb, it was knocked away.

Whoever was closer to the spirit orb was surrounded and attacked by everyone, making everyone hold their breath.

"boom!"

Flames collided and exploded violently.

The vines of the Wood Origin pierced through the flames and rushed towards the Spirit Orb, while the Wood Origin itself quickly approached the Spirit Orb by stepping on the vines.

Just as she was about to touch the spirit orb, the speed of the wind around her suddenly slowed down, and Mu Shengyuan could feel that his own speed also slowed down in an instant.

Before Mu Shengyuan could fully appreciate it, the wind howled past, and everything returned to normal, as if the momentary slowdown had been just her illusion.

If it were anyone else, they might think it was their imagination, but Mu Shengyuan wouldn't. The moment he returned to normal, Mu Shengyuan looked up and saw Ling Yi holding the spirit orb.

The outcome is decided.

But Mu Shengyuan didn't look at it much; instead, he quickly turned around and looked at the people below.

Lin Chengtian was kneeling on the ground, it was unclear whether he had been injured in the explosion.

Yan Wuxuan wasn't in good form either. This was the last round, and there were no more matches after that, so everyone was giving it their all.

Dongfang Jibai's complexion was also not good.

This wasn't the first time Mu Shengyuan had fought against Dongfang Jibai and Yan Wuxuan. She didn't believe that the momentary slowdown was caused by them. Her gaze swept past Lin Chengtian and returned to Ling Yi.

Which one of them is it?

Who possesses such terrifying power to slow everything down?

Ling Yi landed with the spirit orb, took a few steps to Lin Chengtian, looked down at him without saying a word.

The teacher announced: "Ling Yi of Lingyang Kingdom has won first place in this Imperial Grand Competition!"

"Ahhh!" As soon as the teacher announced, Ye Qingshuang stood up excitedly: "Ling Yi, you're the best!"

The others in Lingyang Kingdom were also very excited.

In contrast to the excitement of the teachers and students in Lingyang Kingdom, the other areas were extremely quiet.

No one expected that the students from the small country would win first place in this imperial competition.

After a brief silence, the contestants from other smaller countries began to applaud Ling Yi.

Ling Yi won. Ling Yi is a student from a small country, just like them. In all the years that the Imperial Grand Competition has been held, no contestant from a small country has ever made it into the top three, but now one has!

Although they are not from their country, Lingyang Kingdom is a small country just like theirs, and they should be happy for her!

Ling Yi showed the four great empires that even small countries have outstanding students and that small countries can also achieve first place!

Amidst enthusiastic applause and cheers, the second spirit orb appeared on the competition stage, and the teacher announced: "The battle for second place in the Imperial Grand Competition now begins!"

After saying that, the teacher looked at Ling Yi and said, "Ling Yi, you can go down now."

Ling Yi grabbed Lin Chengtian, who was kneeling, and looked at the teacher: "Teacher, Lin Chengtian has given up the competition for second and third place."

Upon hearing this, the teacher looked at Lin Chengtian: "Are you going to give up?"

If Ling Yi hadn't been holding him up, Lin Chengtian wouldn't have been able to stand at all. He nodded and said, "I give up."

Mu Shengyuan's gaze fell on Lin Chengtian. Could it be him?

"If you're going to give up, then you should leave the game," the teacher said.

"Let's go down now." After Ling Yi finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Chengtian and pulled him off the stage.

The two stepped down from the competition platform, and the other four began to compete for second place.

Ling Yi helped Lin Chengtian back, and Teacher Mu took Lin Chengtian from Ling Yi's arms and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Upon hearing this, the two accompanying alchemists immediately came up to examine Lin Chengtian.

Ye Qingshuang said, "Ling Yi, congratulations on winning first place!"

The two accompanying students offered their congratulations, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Ling Yi looked at them, concealing his coldness, and smiled.

Ye Qingshuang said generously, "I'll treat you to a meal after the competition!"

Ling Yi won first place, and she's rich!

Everyone else knew that Ye Qingshuang had suppressed Ling Yi, so they didn't hold back and responded in kind. Only Ling Yi, the person involved, lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Chengtian.

After examining Lin Chengtian, the two alchemists told Teacher Mu, "He has some external injuries and is just exhausted, but there are no other problems."

"The match is over, don't use the Rejuvenation Pill," Teacher Mu said. "Take your time to recover."

The two alchemists thought the same way, so they gave Lin Chengtian a hemostatic pill and then treated his external injuries.

After the alchemist finished his work and returned to his seat, Ling Yi sat down next to Lin Chengtian.

Just as Ling Yi sat down, the competition for second place ended, and Mu Shengyuan won second place.

Mu Shengyuan is eliminated, while Dongfang Jibai, Yan Wuxuan, and Liejiu compete for third place.

The strong liquor kept going and didn't give up. By the third round, the Western Flame Empire had two players left, while the Eastern Yang Empire only had Dongfang Jibai. The outcome was already decided.

As everyone expected, Yan Wuxuan came in third place.

The top three in the Imperial Competition have been officially determined, ranked in order of their rankings: first, Ling Yi; second, Mu Shengyuan; third, Yan Wuxuan; fourth, Dongfang Jibai; fifth, Liejiu; and sixth, Lin Chengtian, who voluntarily withdrew.

After the top three rankings are determined, the competition will begin with six players being eliminated to advance to the final four.
