"If I'm not mistaken, this staff was crafted by Niu Qingfeng. That earth element staff alone is worth over 100 million on the market. During the college entrance exam week, most of the staffs at our auction house were bought by college entrance exam takers, at ten times the price."

"I vaguely remember that if it was bought before the college entrance exam, it would only cost 100 million star coins. But if it was bought during the college entrance exam, it would cost 1 billion. Is Jiang He from some big family? How can she be so rich?"

“I looked it up and found that the Jiang family’s daughter who was very popular before, the real and fake heiress, is Jiang He. I remember the Jiang family is a Yellow Rank family, right? If it was really given by the family, I can only say that the Jiang family has invested a lot in Jiang He.”

"Couldn't Jiang He have earned it himself?" Helian Fenghua interjected. During the previous black market auction of the staffs, all five staffs were bought by cultivators in the same private room. Each staff was worth 1 billion, so five staffs would be worth 5 billion. Helian Fenghua was unwilling to pay a premium.

However, after entering university, Helian Fenghua broke out of her original circle. As a student of Wanjue Academy, there were quite a few places where she could make money.

For example, accepting commissioned tasks or entering secret realms.

Especially for alchemy practitioners, medical practitioners, and artifact practitioners, making money is even easier.

The words spoken outside the protective shield had no effect on Jiang He.

She stared at Liu Neng for a long time. Liu Neng's staff was not much different from hers, yet he could still cast spells.

wrong……

Jiang He looked at Liu Neng, clearly very interested in the item on him that could prevent the staff from casting spells.

Jiang He always held up her staff. To prevent Jiang He's staff from taking effect, Liu Neng had to shield it multiple times. Every time a large-scale spell erupted, Liu Neng had to pause and conceal the red light in his hand.

Jiang He kept dodging, and finally saw clearly the device that Liu Neng had hidden inside his sleeve.

An oval-shaped black object.

Thinking about the items she had just seen, Jiang He didn't dodge this time.

As Jiang He dodged, her black hair flickered in the shadows. She clasped her hands together, then quickly opened them, and a huge ball of flame took shape in her hand.

"Look, Jiang He has finally made her move, and I've been waiting for her."

"I'm still wondering why Jiang He doesn't use a staff."

The flames in Jiang He's hand grew larger and larger, and she silently chanted:

Second Form of Moon-Treading Meteor

This was the second time Jiang He had used a fire-based technique since the college entrance examination.

From Liu Yang to Liu Neng, and then to Jiang He who reached the Golden Core stage, their spiritual energy and spiritual power underwent a qualitative change.

As soon as the "Moon-Stepping Meteor" move was unleashed, the cultivators watching the match recognized it:

"This isn't a special fire-based spell from the Liu family, how could Jiang He know it?"

"Isn't Jiang He from the Jiang family? Could it be that she's the illegitimate daughter of someone from the Liu family? That's outrageous! The Liu family's special fire-based magic is never passed down to their branches. I've seen Liu Yan use it several times. This move is incredibly powerful; the flames rush towards you like countless sharp thorns. If you don't dodge, the flames on it can easily burn your skin."

"Wow, that's really impressive."

"I saw it clearly just now. Jiang He didn't use a staff at all. She relied entirely on incantations and hand gestures to create the magical aura. It was completely instantaneous."

"Instantaneous casting is one thing, but it's at the level of Moon Stepping Meteor. Who told me Jiang He's magic is bad? I think this is pretty good. At least she definitely won't fail her first year's magic cultivation course."

"Stop talking, all of you. Look what Jiang He took from Liu Neng."

While Jiang He was casting fire-based spells, the spiritual energy of other elements was also busy, all gathering in her dantian.

As the meteor fell, ice spikes began to fall one after another.

Following behind the ice spikes were water and lightning spells.

Within ten seconds, before Liu Neng could recover from Jiang He's Moon-Stepping Meteor, other large-scale spells had already followed.

Jiang He looked at the disheveled person lying on the ground.

With lightning speed, she used her staff to pick out the black object from Liu Neng's sleeve.

Jiang He didn't rush to take it, but put it aside first and then immediately delivered the finishing blow.

Jiang He is very experienced in finishing off enemies.

This time, before Liu Neng could speak, Jiang He's staff regained its function.

She lightly tapped her staff, and in an instant, hundreds of icicles pierced Liu Neng's body.

The pure white ice and the crimson blood mingled together, and the gushing blood splattered onto Jiang He's white robes.

She looked at Liu Neng as if he were an inanimate object.

"One of the competitors has been found to have no vital signs; the competition is over."

Besides the voice of the machine referee, even the monk who was giving the commentary was stunned in the training field.

The venue was silent for a full two seconds before the others came to their senses.

"Is Liu Neng dead?"

"Judging by appearances, he's dead."

"Liu Neng is dead? What about the bet? I remember that dead people can't keep their bets."

"What kind of death joke is this? I stopped breathing just now and didn't even dare to blink. Your interruption has made me feel much better. From the moment I stepped into the ring, it was a matter of life and death."

"I had thought about whether Jiang He could turn the tide, but I didn't expect her to be so strong. She can cast spells instantly and uses several different kinds of spells with different spiritual energy. Liu Neng's death was not unjust."

"That ice shard is the real MVP, no wonder it has an ice spirit root, it's amazing."

"What ice spirit root? I remember Jiang He only has seven spirit roots."

"The seven types of spiritual roots do not include the mutated ice spiritual root?"

"No, the only mutated spiritual roots are lightning and wind!"

"Holy crap! What's going on here?"

There were many people watching Jiang He inside the venue.

Some ice shards that hadn't completely melted were still clinging to Liu Neng's body.

"An ice spirit root! This is a mutated spirit root!"

Zhong Liyu recalled the spell Jiang He had just used, making no attempt to hide the amazement in her eyes.

His gaze shifted to the items that had flown off Liu Neng on the ground:

"what is that."

Many cultivators shared Zhong Liyu's doubts, and they waited quietly for Jiang He to speak.

From the moment Jiang He struck until Liu Neng died, no one in the training ground questioned Jiang He's strength again.

Jiang He put away her staff and looked at the people outside the arena, saying:

“Just now I intercepted a black oval device from Liu Neng. After this item emitted red light several times, my staff malfunctioned repeatedly until I knocked the item away and the staff returned to normal. I suspect that this item was developed by Yunhuo, a technology company under the Liu family. I will inform the school about this matter…”

"Technology that can disable magic staffs!"

"No, I forgot something. The Liu family has such a thing. If what Jiang He said is true, then Liu Neng really did not die unjustly."

"Not only that, this is true, the entire Liu family will be purged by the empire."

"If such a thing were actually developed, wouldn't that harm both oneself and others? A malfunctioning staff is no small matter. I remember there were many magic cultivators on the Black Nest battlefield. Even a small mistake on the battlefield can change the course of the battle, let alone a malfunctioning staff, which would be fatal for magic cultivators."

"Oh, really? It's gotten to the military?"

"How could it not be! This kind of technology is completely harmful."

"Everyone, calm down. What if Jiang He is just making things up?"
