After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"The outcome is decided; Qin Chuan emerges victorious!"

Just as everyone was in shock, the voice of Sect Master Ji Li resounded in everyone's ears.

Wow!

These words caused another uproar in the audience.

These new disciples never expected that the person who entered the sect with a one-star bloodline would actually be the champion of the final competition!

Glancing at Gao Kui, whose face was completely disfigured on the ground, Ji Li smiled helplessly and said in a low voice, "Qin Chuan is really cunning. If he hadn't been hiding his strength, Gao Kui definitely wouldn't have had any intention of fighting."

It truly gives people hope time and time again, only to plunge them into despair again!

Although he said that, he did not feel any regret about Gao Kui's death.

He willingly took forbidden pills and then tried to kill his fellow disciples; he only had himself to blame.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Upon hearing the news that Qin Chuan had come in first place, Zhao Zongping and the other two were initially a little incredulous.

After confirming that it wasn't a dream, they could no longer suppress their laughter and burst into tears.

Although they bet on Qin Chuan to win, the three of them were in a state of high anxiety throughout the process, especially after Gao Kui took the forbidden pill, which made him even more uncertain.

Now that they had actually won the bet, they breathed a long sigh of relief, their faces beaming with smiles.

After exchanging a glance, the three of them walked up to the other outer sect elders and spread their hands, saying, "Elders, please give it to me!"

Upon hearing this, the outer sect elders immediately wore long faces.

They originally wanted to take this opportunity to earn more contribution points.

But to their surprise, they not only wasted their time, but also lost everything!

"Ugh…"

With a deep sigh, the outer sect elders hung their heads in dejection and took out their identity tokens.

They were willing to accept the consequences of their bet, since Gao Kui, who placed the bet, not only used forbidden pills but also died on the spot, so they had nothing to say.

Among the outer sect elders, Xiao Wen was the first to step forward. After reluctantly handing over his contribution points, he turned and left.

"Thank you, Xiao..."

Just as Zhao Zongping was about to thank him, he noticed with puzzlement that the other person had left in a hurry, as if he had something important to do.

Immediately afterwards, the other outer sect elders also stepped forward and, as previously agreed, placed their respective bets.

Four thousand contribution points!

Eight thousand contribution points!

.........

As Zhao Zongping and the other two watched the contribution points slowly increase in their identity tokens, their aged faces blossomed like chrysanthemums.

Old Du, in particular, made a fortune because he had previously withheld 50,000 contribution points.

After all the outer sect elders gave their contribution points, they all looked at Han Yutang with resentment.

Although it was also because they were greedy and wanted a share of the pie, they wouldn't have believed him so easily if Han Yutang hadn't looked so certain.

"Damn it, they wouldn't have shared the winnings with me, and now that they've lost, it's all my fault!"

Seeing the resentful looks in the eyes of the outer sect elders, Han Yutang's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth inwardly.

Immediately, he walked towards the number one arena and came face to face with Qin Chuan, who was walking down from the arena.

Looking at the unfamiliar elder before him, Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"Of course something's wrong! You killed my disciple!"

Han Yutang's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "Your name is Qin Chuan, right? You'd better be careful when you walk at night in the sect from now on!"

His words were full of veiled threats.

The person is not good!

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

The elder in front of them appeared to be Gao Kui's mentor, but anyone with eyes could see that even if his palm hadn't hit Gao Kui, he would still have been doomed.

If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext!

He realized that he was being resented by the elder in front of him.

"You just wait, you brat!"

Just as Han Yutang finished speaking and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Ji Li's voice.

"I'm afraid you won't have that chance!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yutang's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a chill run through his body.

When he turned his head, he saw Ji Li's smiling face.

“宗…”

No sooner had Han Yutang spoken than Ji Li suddenly struck out, slapping Han Yutang on the top of the head.

Bang!

In an instant, Han Yutang's eyes widened, his expression froze, and his skull shattered on the spot; he was dead beyond any doubt.

"Such terrifying strength..."

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan's pupils contracted, and a deep sense of apprehension rose in the depths of his eyes.

He hadn't even seen the middle-aged man's attack clearly; if he had attacked him...

After some thought, he could only think of using Empress Yaoxi's power to have any chance of survival.

Moreover, whether they can win is still an unknown.

At the moment Han Yutang died, Ji Li's voice slowly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Elder Han has arbitrarily given me forbidden pills, disregarding my life. I have already expelled him from the sect!"

Hearing Ji Li's words and looking at Han Yutang's corpse on the ground, everyone felt a sense of unreality.

He was a living elder just a moment ago, and he was killed with a single blow.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the smiling Ji Li.

Everyone initially thought the sect leader was an easy person to talk to, but that wasn't actually the case...

After a moment, Ji Li turned to Qin Chuan and smiled, "You weren't scared, were you?"

Qin Chuan shook his head. "I've seen this many times before, so I don't really feel anything about it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Li nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

If one is afraid of even the smallest things in the martial arts world, how can one hope to reach the pinnacle in the future?

Immediately, Ji Li took out a storage ring and handed it over, saying, "This is your reward for first place."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

After taking the storage ring and seeing the bottle of dragon blood inside, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease.

Of all the rewards for winning first place in the freshman competition, the one he valued most was the dragon blood.

After putting away the storage ring, Qin Chuan clasped his hands in thanks to Ji Li and said, "Thank you, Sect Master!"

"Hmm." Ji Li nodded, then suddenly said, "It's truly remarkable that you've reached the seventh level of the Great Mystic Master realm, but the time for your life-or-death duel with Gu Wenxuan is fast approaching."

"Your current level is far from sufficient."

"What realm is Gu Wenxuan at?" Qin Chuan asked.

Ji Li smiled and said, "Fifth level of the Profound King realm!"

Upon hearing the words "Xuan King," Qin Chuan's pupils contracted, surprised that Gu Wenxuan's cultivation level was so high.

Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Ji Li teased, "What, are you scared now?"

Qin Chuan remained calm, "I just feel that his cultivation level is still a bit low."

This time it was Ji Li's turn to be stunned.

After a long silence, he chuckled and said, "It seems Guan Yueyue has taken on a good disciple."

Qin Chuan smiled but did not answer.

Seemingly remembering something, Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sect Master, can you tell me about Falling Leaf Peak?"
