The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

In Luo Qingcheng's view, the sword held by the white figure inexplicably emitted an earthy yellow light.

She gripped the sword hilt with great interest.

At first, I thought Bai Ying had become weaker in today's battle, but I didn't expect her to be waiting here.

but--

No matter how strong a sword is, it's useless if it can't hit its target!

The best defense is a good offense!

Luo Qingcheng raised his sword to his chest, his forearm rotating outward, waiting for the white figure to arrive in front of him.

Seeing her assume a stance, as if she were ready, Zheng Li couldn't help but mock, "Do you really think that your meager possessions can break through the difference between immortals and mortals?"

While the Sword Inquiry Sect truly reveres the sword, cultivation level remains an insurmountable barrier.

"She still wants to fight? Isn't she afraid?"

"Truly worthy of someone who broke through numerous trials despite having no spiritual roots!"

"But if she keeps fighting, it'll be the end for her."

"Wasn't it unfair of Senior Brother Zheng to use his cultivation level to suppress others?"

"Shh! Do you want to die?!"

Zheng Li naturally heard these words as well. He glanced at the man and memorized his face.

Let's deal with this overconfident mortal first!

Zheng Li drew his sword and, with a simple horizontal thrust, strode swiftly toward Luo Qingcheng.

finally come!

I don't know why this white figure is being so dawdling today.

"Bang!"

As the two swords clashed, the veins on Luo Qingcheng's hands bulged.

As they caught each other, the air fell silent for a moment, then a hurricane burst forth from the point of contact!

Her dress flew backward, and her hair was blown around like a snake!

A single strand of hair was severed by the wind whistling through the blade.

His hand was cracked, and blood immediately seeped out from his palm, dripping down the hilt of the sword.

A bit slippery.

However, Luo Qingcheng tightened his grip on the sword instead of loosening it; as long as he could block it, that would be enough!

She exerted her strength secretly, pulling the blade from front to back, then sweeping it diagonally backward, gradually bringing Zheng Li's sword to the rear.

"It's a combination of a horizontal sweep and a turning diagonal sweep from the 'Elementary Sword Techniques'!"

"She actually blocked it!"

It was blocked, but at a high cost.

[Host, the opponent only used a fraction of their cultivation.]

However, Luo Qingcheng could not hear what the system was saying at this moment.

Otherwise, she would never have gone so far as to want to defeat Bai Ying.

Zheng Li only wanted to teach the arrogant Luo Qingcheng a lesson and did not intend to cause any deaths. Even when he had to use his spiritual power, he only used his cultivation level of about the first level of Qi Refining.

Unexpectedly, he was unable to completely suppress this mortal without spiritual roots in front of him.

He felt ashamed and couldn't care less about anything else at that moment.

If people knew that he, a sword cultivator who had cultivated for many years to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, couldn't even defeat a mortal, how could he save face?

He immediately and secretly mobilized his spiritual power. As the spiritual power flowed, the earthy yellow light on the sword blade suddenly shone brightly.

Luo Qingcheng, who was already struggling to stay afloat, was immediately blown away by the spiritual energy wave.

With a loud thud, it fell heavily to the ground.

"Pfft!" Blood gushed out.

"Qingcheng!"

Wanwan ran over, hugged Luo Qingcheng's head, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Luo Qingcheng then withdrew from his previous state of mind.

She opened her eyes weakly.

It was pitch black all around.

Luo Qingcheng: !!!

what's the situation?

She clutched her aching chest, tasted blood in her mouth, and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Why are so many people watching her?

Could it be that someone else discovered the bizarre scene of her and Bai Ying's chaotic and erratic duel?

"Qingcheng? Is everything alright?"

Wanwan asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Luo Qingcheng stood up.

She's quite used to enduring pain.

I just don't understand why there are so many people here.

"Junior sister, I have some healing pills here, do you want them?" a man Luo Qingcheng didn't recognize asked solicitously.

"Junior sister has no spiritual root, are you going to use pills to make her explode and die?!" Another man whom Luo Qingcheng didn't recognize said disdainfully, then took out a small purple fruit from his pocket.

"Junior sister, this is a purple clay fruit that has miraculous healing effects. Do you want some?"

Luo Qingcheng touched his face and took out a mirror from his storage bag.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he still had that same sallow, thin, and ugly face.

Strange, she didn't transmigrate into a stunning beauty, so why is someone suddenly fawning over her?

Suddenly remembering something, Luo Qingcheng's previously bewildered expression turned wary.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

When did the news that she had a huge sum of 90,000 spirit stones on her person leak out?!

[dark.]

[By the way, system, tell me what happened?]

She had almost forgotten the system existed because it remained silent.

[A lunatic challenged you to a fight, and you fought him but lost.]

The system provides a brief overview.

Before Luo Qingcheng could react, the "lunatic" the system had mentioned walked over.

Wanwan nervously stood in front of Luo Qingcheng.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled. "Senior brother, is there something you need?"

Zheng Li was tall and burly, which did not conform to the traditional aesthetic of a well-proportioned and slender figure in the cultivation world. He looked somewhat like a gangster.

It's best not to offend this kind of person.

[He's the one who beat you until you vomited blood.]

[What?]

Luo Qingcheng's previously friendly business smile vanished instantly.

Brother, do you know what? You're in big trouble.

Offend me, Feng Aotian?

Once I've fully developed, you'll either lose face or die, you understand?

"Before I left, I wanted to see what was so special about the legendary person who passed the entrance exam without spiritual roots. I didn't expect it to be so unremarkable."

Zheng Li sheathed his sword, looked Luo Qingcheng up and down, and said disdainfully.

Luo Qingcheng realized that the person who had just fought her was not the white shadow she thought he was, but the simple-minded, physically strong person in front of her.

She thought back for a moment, then pretended to be naive, "So, when Senior Brother first started sparring with me, a useless person with no spiritual roots who had only practiced swordsmanship for a day, he held back? No wonder I felt it was so easy to fight him. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Senior Brother."

What does "releasing the sea" mean?

"Idiot, you don't even understand 'releasing the sea'? It means releasing a whole sea of ​​water."

"Huh? But I saw that Senior Brother Zheng was fighting quite seriously, but he still lost."

"Hiss—it's you again, you blockhead! Shut up!"

Seeing Zheng Li's gaze turn in their direction again, the kind-hearted person next to him gasped and slapped the head of the straightforward man who had just said that Zheng Li's victory was "unfair due to his cultivation level."

Luo Qingcheng naturally heard it too.

She chuckled to herself.

Zheng Li was very concerned about his reputation. He thought this operation would help the sect eliminate a mortal who had passed the entrance exam by luck, and also give him a chance to spread his name before going to the inner sect. However, he did gain a reputation, but it wasn't a good one.

He couldn't save face, but forced himself to say, "If I had used my full strength, you would probably be dead or alive by now. I'm just letting you know that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your reach. Especially since you don't have the talent, you need to work even harder."

If things had gone according to plan, he feared his reputation would have been even worse.
