Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Zhao Xinglu is even more brainless.

With her second magical artifact to block, she almost ignored Luo Xiaoman's attack, and with both hands, she wildly spun her Guan Dao, slashing out countless crescent moons, and suddenly forced Hua Sheng back several meters.

"They've gone mad! They've really gone mad!! The members of the Broken Heaven Academy are actually going to any lengths to kill the Flower Saint!!"

"The Flower Saint has reached her limit!!"

"Is the Flower Saint really going to give up?!"

In the scene, Xiao Hanye, who had transformed into green lightning, moved faster and faster, slashing through Hua Sheng from front to back with one strike after another.

Each time she clashed with the Flower Saint, her movement speed increased, almost transforming into an arc of lightning.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds...

Xiao Hanye counted silently in her mind, and her figure accelerated again, slashing her opponent back several meters at a speed that Hua Sheng could not see with the naked eye.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she actually cornered the famous Flower Saint Yan Zhiliu against the wall.

Upon seeing this, both commentators for the match looked horrified.

They never expected that Tianjie Xiao Hanye, who was at the bottom of the Ten Heavenly Kings of Northern Saint in last year's Northern Saint League, has grown to the point where he can suppress Hua Sheng this year.

Or perhaps, after Hua Sheng lost to Princess Zijing, her mentality became weak?

"how so……"

"Clang clang clang clang"

At the same time, Hua Sheng, who was frantically spinning the sun wheel to resist Xiao Hanye's attack, was also shaken to her core.

What the hell is this guy?!

Ten seconds passed, and both Zhao Xinglu and Luo Xiaoman's return-to-sheath techniques had disappeared.

Xiao Hanye's body was still wrapped in violent blue-green electric arcs. She glanced at Luo Xiaoman, who was kneeling on the ground panting, out of the corner of her eye.

Xiao Hanye first spun back a few steps, then swiftly killed Youhe Luo Xiaoman, who had exited her sheathed state.

It once again transformed into a cyan-green lightning bolt and slashed out.

Eleven seconds.

Twelve seconds...

Thirteen seconds...

Every second it takes to return to its sheath consumes a massive amount of the weapon refiner's spiritual energy.

As spiritual energy is consumed, the value of the spirit weapon's return to its sheath will increase.

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Hanye's pure white wedding dress was now covered with turquoise lightning.

Even her lovely face gradually cracked with green lightning, revealing an incredibly terrifying and horrifying appearance.

"He has attained sainthood..."

Seeing this, Lu Chan's pale purple eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Hanye used the Flower Saint's spiritual artifact to attain sainthood, Princess Leiyue also showed signs of attaining sainthood during her battle with the Flower Saint.

You can tell from the fact that she can maintain her spirit artifact state for so long.

In the Northern Saint State League, the Nine-Petaled Peach Blossom Snowflake became the stepping stone for two magical artifacts.

The Flower Saint is truly pitiful...

While countless viewers were stunned.

At the fifteenth second, Xiao Hanye's figure had completely disappeared into the azure lightning. As if teleporting, she gripped her katana and slashed through Hua Sheng's body.

Xiao Hanye chuckled lightly: "Compared to Lu Chan, your technique for controlling the Sun Wheel is really crude."

In an instant, under the incredulous gaze of the Flower Saint, Xiao Hanye had already walked lightly behind her.

In an instant, the bursting blue arc of electricity pierced through the Flower Saint's protective spiritual energy, blasting her away violently.

[Broken Heaven Academy wins]

[Duan Tian Yuan advances to the top 16]

[Liu Miyuan, eliminated]

"The Flower Saint has actually been defeated!!!"

"It seems like only a dozen seconds have passed since the start of the match!"

Upon seeing what appeared on the screen, countless viewers displayed expressions of disbelief.

Before the match began, even though the Dantenin team had been dominating the game, many still thought that Ryumiin, with the Flower Saint, would be stronger.

It's unbelievable... that Hua Sheng was actually crushed to death by Xiao Hanye, who unleashed his full power, in just over ten seconds at the start of the game, without even a chance to make a move.

The sudden burst of energy from the Duan Tian Yuan team left many viewers stunned until the match ended.

The people in Zijing Courtyard were also slightly speechless.

Dean Zijing frowned and said, "The Broken Heaven Academy won so easily. Has Xiao Hanye been hiding his strength all along?"

"It seems she has acquired a new spiritual skill..."

In order to win this match, Zhao Xinglu also contracted a second spiritual artifact.

"Yūmi-in's defeat was not unjust."

Fortunately, Hua Sheng's original die-hard fans had already been completely drained by Lu Chan.

Therefore, the elimination of Hua Sheng did not cause much of a stir.

After all, Hua Sheng, who lost to Lu Chan, was no longer the player that everyone was looking forward to.

Only a few weapon refiners from Liu Mi Academy angrily cursed Duan Tian Academy for rushing to be reborn.

It's hard to imagine... Liu Miyuan, who possesses one of the Three Saints, the Flower Saint, and Youhe Luo Xiaoman, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the North, actually fell in the top 32 this year.

This is the most tragic ending ever!!

Nan He stuck out her tongue lightly and complained, "I'm relieved as long as I see that Luo Xiaoman get eliminated. I don't want to be remembered by someone who holds such a grudge every day."

Because she had stood Luo Xiaoman up on her blind date, Luo Xiaoman had been nagging her about it for a long time during their confrontation.

The match between Duan Tian Yuan and Liu Mi Yuan has ended.

While the group was having their meal, the last few matches came to an end.

Apart from the defeated Ryumi-in.

The remaining powerful families—Broken Heaven Academy, Myriad Swords Academy, Star Academy, and Fengdu Academy—all defeated their opponents without any suspense.

Among them, Wan Jian Yuan remains the team that resolves the match the fastest.

In this round of matches for Xingchen Academy, neither the captain nor the captain appeared.

Neither the mysterious new captain nor the vice-captain of the Star Academy, nor the strongest of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the North, Hanxing Huangming, has shown themselves. It is unknown what the Star Academy is hiding.

The draw was completed very quickly.

The two female hosts will announce the next round of the competition to the audience.

While awaiting the results, the female host smiled and said, "All 16 teams have advanced. Although Liu Miyuan's elimination was somewhat unexpected, it also proves... that Liu Miyuan didn't have the strength to compete for the championship this year."

"If you ask me, the strongest team this year..."

"As expected, it's still the Fengdu Temple led by the Ghost Saint."

"Either it's the Sword Saint leading the Ten Thousand Swords Academy."

"And the Bauhinia Academy led by Princess Bauhinia, right?"

"However... I really can't imagine that someone as strong as Hanxing Huangming is only the vice captain of the Star Academy this year. Could it be that the Star Academy has produced an even stronger weapon refiner this year?"

"In any case, I hope to see the Star Academy go all out as soon as possible!"

Just then, the female host also received the lottery information.

She announced, "Alright everyone, the draw for the Round of 16 to Round of 8 matches is complete tomorrow night. Next, I will announce the match schedule for the next round."

Upon hearing this, many team members held their breath and focused their attention.

There are still 16 teams in the final round.

After so many rounds of competition, the strength of each team has become very clear.

For many teams, advancing to the quarterfinals no longer depends on their own strength, but on the luck of the draw!

Dean Zijing also became anxious at this moment.

Although she had a lot of confidence in Zijingyuan, led by Lu Chan, she still hoped that Zijingyuan could meet a slightly weaker opponent and advance to the next round smoothly!

"The first match: Duan Tian Academy versus Di Shou Academy"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Imperial Beast Academy, who were also among the top eight powerhouses last year, all revealed expressions as ugly as if their entire families had been wiped out.

Before today's match, they might have still had some fighting spirit.

Unfortunately, after watching Duan Tian Yuan's match today, they lost even the slightest bit of hope.

The Imperial Beast Academy had previously lost to the Fengdu Academy, but they fought their way back through the revival round.

However, Duan Tian Yuan crushed Liu Mi Yuan, led by Hua Sheng, with lightning speed, demonstrating the significant difference in strength between the two sides.

As the female host announced the final two rounds, all the teams couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

The remaining four teams have not yet been announced.

It turns out to be the Purple Thorn Academy, the Star Academy, the Myriad Swords Academy, and the Fengdu Academy.

So, does this mean that all four teams with a chance to win the championship will be eliminated in this round due to internal conflicts?

Dean Zijing nearly spat out his water.

She slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily.

What the hell!!

What incredible luck!

Now, all she can hope is that Zijing Academy won't encounter Fengdu Academy this round. No, the best outcome would be to encounter Xingchen Academy!

Lu Chan, meanwhile, was enjoying her food with elegance, her indifferent expression remaining completely calm.

"The Purple Thorn Academy versus the Myriad Swords Academy"

"Star Academy versus Fengdu Academy!"

As the female host finished speaking.

The members of the Zijingyuan team all wore solemn expressions as they listened to the female host's voice, and Lu Chan's light purple eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh……"

Is this round's opponent the Sword Saint?

That's quite interesting.

Speaking of which, I've been using the Sky Dance Wheel ever since I came to the league in Northern Saint State.

The Storm Sword hasn't been drawn in a long time...

Lu Chan also wanted to take the opportunity to test the power of the Storm Sword on the Sword Saint.

The audience in the Sky Gardens erupted in cheers at that moment.

"The Bauhinia Academy and the Myriad Swords Academy!!"

"And then there's Xingchen Academy and Fengdu Academy. Are the semi-finals and finals being played out ahead of schedule?"

"To see Princess Zijing battle the Sword Saint so soon? This round of the competition is truly amazing!"

"Go, Princess Zijing! Beat the Sword Saint into a pathetic dog like the Flower Saint!"

at the same time.

Inside the team's private room at Wanjian Academy:

The girl with long gray hair and slightly lifeless eyes also had a faint, indifferent smile on her lips.

Let her prove it to the people of Northern Saint State...
