One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

After Zhuge Qing was thrown out, he immediately stood up and looked at Ma Long, who was slowly walking out of the pit.

At this moment, all of Ma Long's defenses disappeared, clearly having been destroyed by Zhuge Qing. His defenses were indeed useless against the Samadhi True Fire.

Ma Long's expression was not good, and he was also full of doubt. He looked at Zhuge Qing with a very serious expression, and the two stared at each other for a long time without saying a word.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with Young Master Long?"

Why are you not attacking, and why are you not saying anything?

What exactly happened?

How would I know?

We're just here to watch the show, don't ask unnecessary questions!

Almost no one in the audience knew what had happened; even famous figures like Lü Ci, Chen Jinkui, and Feng Zhenghao were confused.

Only a few experts from the Zhuge family could see it clearly; they knew that Ma Long was no ordinary person.

This guy is absolutely not someone you should offend!

Bao Chan, watching from the stands, also had a strange look in his eyes. He was somewhat delighted and kept thinking about something.

Wang Ye and Xia He were also confused and asked Feng Baobao, "Bao'er, what's going on?"

Did you understand?

Feng Baobao calmly stated simply: "Oh~ it's just that the two of them burrowed underground."

Then Zhuge Qing burned Ma Long, breaking through his defenses, but he couldn't ignite Ma Long's soul.

Then Zhuge Qing was shocked and was knocked out by Ma Long.

That's it.

……

The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened!"

Old Taoist priest, hurry up and tell me!

I'm so anxious!

Lu Jin was completely engrossed in watching it. Since he couldn't see it in person and could only watch it through the screen, he couldn't make heads or tails of it.

The old master smiled calmly, remaining silent for a long time, as if he greatly appreciated the scene he was witnessing.

The more he acted this way, the more anxious Lu Jin became, constantly urging him to explain it to him.

"Hahaha!

"Old Lu, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush things!"

"What time is it? Stop using tired, overused jokes, okay?!"

"Uh~ I didn't expect Ma Long to be so good."

While enhancing the foundation of one's physical life, it also simultaneously improved the strength of one's soul. Faced with such a pure and unyielding soul, the Samadhi True Fire naturally could not ignite it!

The old master slowly finished explaining, and his answer was the same as Lu Jin's in mind, but Lu Jin still found it hard to believe.

"It's cheating, it must be a cheater!"

What makes him possess such a powerful spirit? Has he trained in martial arts?

The Quanzhen Baiyun Temple has cultivated its spiritual essence through years of arduous practice and refinement.

What gives him the right?

Faced with Lu Jin's questioning, the old master did not continue to explain, but smiled faintly and continued to watch.

He definitely wouldn't tell Lu Jin about Lao Gu's affair.

……

On the Xuanwu Platform, Lu Linglong looked at Ma Long with great admiration. She had been practicing asceticism at Baiyun Temple for many years.

She naturally knew how difficult it was to temper one's soul. Seeing the blue-green flames that Zhuge Qing had just unleashed, she knew that her own soul could not withstand such a test.

But Ma Long was completely unharmed!

"Young Master Long is merely a polymath!"

……

Gao Yushan, who was lurking in the shadows and emitting electromagnetic waves, had been watching the game closely. When she saw that Ma Long was unharmed, she was both happy for him and filled with jealousy.

Although he could withstand Zhuge Qing's Samadhi True Fire, he had been cultivating the soul for many years.

He's nowhere near as good as Malone: ​​"Hmph!"

Hook up, Brother Long just knows how to cheat!

And Old Gu is really something else; he's definitely biased towards Malone, otherwise how could he have progressed so quickly!

Suddenly, a sinister voice entered her ears: "Erzhuang!"

What did you just say?

Gao Yushan immediately realized she had misspoke: "Uh~ Elder Gu, I was just kidding!"

Hehehe, you're everywhere, I mean you're a great teacher.

"In just a few months, you've mediated things so well with Brother Long!"

"Humph!

Stop accusing me!

I never coached Malone; it was his own destiny.

You're making slow progress yourself, yet you're jealous of others.

Why aren't you cultivating properly?

"Uh~ I know I was wrong, Elder Gu!"

……

On the arena, Zhuge Qing, who had been silent for a long time, gradually came to terms with it.

Even though he might not believe it was possible, it was the truth.

He slowly began to speak: "It is a sin to disobey a master!"

Young Master Long, I truly cannot believe that someone can excel in every aspect and reach the level of being the best among their peers.

At this age, you're already far ahead of everyone else. Apart from the old master, you might really have a chance to reach the pinnacle.

Young Master Long, keep up the good work! You have a long road ahead of you!

At least, I will keep an eye on you, and one day, I, Zhuge Qing, will defeat you fair and square!

"I will take back what my Wuhou School has wrought!"

Ma Long was shocked by the Samadhi True Fire and remained silent for a long time. He was somewhat displeased that Zhuge Qing continued to speak harshly.

"Alright, alright, it's all up to you!"

Just tell me who won!

"you!

I give up!

Zhuge Qing was angered by Ma Long's words and conceded defeat, walking off the stage.

Zhuge Gong remained silent for a long time: "Ma Long challenges Zhuge Qing, Ma Long wins, and their rankings are swapped."

The game continues!

He said absentmindedly, "Although Zhuge Qing's Samadhi True Fire is not strong now and has not changed, it is indeed true."

Ma Long was not seriously injured; only the Bodhisattva pendant given to him by Ma Xianhong had a crack.

This pained him greatly, and he held it in his hand for a long time. Fortunately, it was still functional, and he would find an opportunity to have Lao Ma fix it.

"Young Master Long, you're awesome!"

"First among his peers, truly deserving of the title!"

Faced with a deluge of compliments, Malone responded with a nod; he was no longer a greenhorn fresh out of school.

Naturally, these words will not disturb one's state of mind.

Xia He ran over excitedly: "I never thought that the famous Samadhi True Fire couldn't do anything to you!"

"Lucky luck!"

"Tch, it's not luck, your strength speaks for itself!"

Wang Ye walked over and asked, "Junior Uncle, how does the Samadhi True Fire feel?"

Ma Long hesitated for a moment, thought about how to phrase it, and didn't know how to explain: "Uh~ it's a little cold."

I didn't feel anything else.

Since witnessing the great battle between Zhuge Qing and Ma Long, no one has stepped onto the stage to compete for a long time, and everyone has been immersed in the moment.

Subsequently, Xia He voluntarily stepped down to Bao Chan, moving to fourth place. She said that Bao Chan's methods were restrained, and she directly gave up her position to save time.

Xue Fan was also self-aware and directly gave way to Zhang Lingyu, as he was well aware of the importance of the outstanding disciple of Longhu Mountain.

Being in fifth place is too conspicuous; it's a good thing to move down a bit.

Some people have self-awareness, while others do not, such as Wang Bing.

He was still wondering why Xue Fan wouldn't give up his position to him. Was he that weak?

He was seething with anger, and he was going to unleash his full power that afternoon!

His goal is to maintain his position in the top ten and strive for the top five.
