Chen Mobai stood on the stage, bowing to the voluptuous woman in red in front of him.

“Your courage to step up here surprises me.”

Ding Ying’s face was relaxed, her right hand holding two talismans, one green and one yellow. She slowly walked towards Chen Mobai, gradually increasing the pressure.

“After all, it’s already the sixth round. As long as I pass this round, I will become a true disciple of the sect. No matter how strong the opponent is, I have to give it a try.”

Chen Mobai’s words were humble, expressing his unwillingness to give up and his desire to fight for victory.

“Do you think you can beat me?”

Upon hearing his words, Ding Ying couldn’t help but laugh, as if she had heard a joke she couldn’t resist.

“Yes!”

To this, Chen Mobai only replied with one word.

“Yes?”

Ding Ying widened her eyes, not understanding where his confidence came from.

With a snort of anger, she threw out the yellow talisman in her hand.

With a loud bang, a fireball with a diameter of half a meter appeared out of thin air, falling towards Chen Mobai’s head, ready to engulf him.

A pure green flying sword soared into the sky, circled around the fireball, and turned it into a sky full of sparks.

The entire stage seemed to be under a rain of fire, but Chen Mobai blocked it all with a defensive talisman.

“Without this divine wood sword, you wouldn’t be able to withstand even one of my moves.”

Ding Ying sneered, and another green talisman bloomed with spiritual light, falling at her feet.

Then a sapling broke through the ground, growing into a two-meter-tall tree in the blink of an eye.

“This is…”

Chen Mobai recognized the power, and Ding Ying’s actions immediately made him understand why it seemed familiar.

He saw her slap a talisman into the tree, and a clear light emerged, transforming into a green glow that made the entire stage tremble. The glow condensed into a fist-sized light column at the tips of Ding Ying’s fingers.

“Heavenly Wood Divine Light!?”

Back on Qingguang Island, their team had been able to withstand the flock of Black Plague Birds and even repel the second-order Bird King thanks to the presence of a spiritual tree.

But if Ding Ying could use the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” by herself, she would probably be unmatched among the true disciples.

After calming down, Chen Mobai analyzed and found the difference between this green glow and the Heavenly Wood Divine Light.

It seemed to be a degraded version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light.

“You should be proud to lose under my second-order Heavenly Wood talisman.”

Although Ding Ying’s words were contemptuous, her actions were very serious. After all, Chen Mobai had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and had a second-order flying sword in hand.

This Heavenly Wood talisman was one of her trump cards. She raised her head, her right hand opened towards Chen Mobai, and the Heavenly Wood spiritual light began to rotate, forming a spiral spearhead.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai pressed his sword finger, and the divine wood sword hummed. He wanted to give Ding Ying a crushing defeat she would never forget.

A drop of liquid spiritual power surged from his dantian, entered the sword through his fingertips.

In an instant, the divine wood sword, like a pure green ribbon, shot out from his fingertips.

At the same time, Ding Ying also launched her Heavenly Wood spiritual light spear.

With a piercing sound, the spiral green spearhead twisted the air like a cannonball, even cracking the stage it passed, carrying a terrifying force that could shatter all defensive spiritual light, and collided with the pure green flying sword controlled by Chen Mobai.

After a sharp boom, the pure green flying sword, under the incredulous eyes of everyone, burst out with a clearer spiritual light, erupting a terrifying divine wood sword qi, and directly broke Ding Ying’s Heavenly Wood spiritual light in a head-on clash.

After the sword qi slashed open the spiral spearhead condensed by the Heavenly Wood spiritual light, it continued its momentum and fell directly in front of Ding Ying.

Petals of bright red flying flowers appeared out of thin air, forming a sturdy talisman armor, blocking the terrifying divine wood sword qi at the last moment.

With a loud bang, the reinforced stage trembled violently.

Ding Ying’s body involuntarily retreated again and again, the flying flower talisman armor began to disappear one by one, and it seemed that it was about to completely disintegrate. Her face changed drastically, and she resorted to a secret technique that consumed her vitality to enhance her spiritual power.

Green and red lights flickered on her beautiful face, and in an instant, the green spiritual power was swallowed up by the red spiritual power.

This was a method of using the Two-Phase Technique, feeding the wood attribute spiritual power to the fire attribute spiritual power in a short time, allowing the latter to increase its power threefold in an instant.

With this as her killing move, Ding Ying had been able to hold her position among the true disciples for more than a decade.

With a thought, the flying flower talisman armor, which was about to disintegrate under the attack of the divine wood sword qi, burst out with a brighter red light. The disappearing runes began to reappear, reassembling into a complete defensive talisman armor.

At this moment, the divine wood sword qi fully erupted, the clear spiritual light spread out, attracting the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, turning into a sword qi torrent, and violently bombarding the flying flower talisman armor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!Petal-shaped runes began to dim, disintegrate, and disappear under the impact of the sword qi.

Ding Ying could no longer hold on, she spat out blood and was thrown out of the ring.

“This is impossible!”

Ignoring the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, she struggled to get up from the ground, staring at Chen Mobai who had recalled his Pure Green Flying Sword.

She had faced the Divine Wood Sword before, how could it be so powerful?

Even her proudest ultimate move, coupled with the Flying Flower Rune Armor, couldn’t withstand this powerful sword qi.

If Chen Mobai hadn’t withdrawn his sword at the end, she might have already lost her life on the spot.

What kind of power was this!?

“Sister Ding, thank you for your guidance.”

Chen Mobai’s face was calm. With a wave of his sword finger, the Divine Wood Sword beside him trembled like a swimming fish and flew into the storage bag at his waist.

Defeating the enemy with one move, seeing Ding Ying’s unwillingness, fear, and disbelief, the depression in Chen Mobai’s heart dissipated.

But after that, he felt a sense of emptiness and boredom.

After a long time, it seemed that even the elder who was presiding over this round hadn’t come back to his senses. It was only after a while that he announced Chen Mobai’s victory.

As he stepped down from the ring, he saw Qi Rui with his mouth wide open, the shocked Xi Jinghuo, and Zhuo Ming covering her mouth.

And on the neighboring tavern, Yuan Chiyi who was holding a wine cup in a daze, and Liu Wenbo standing next to him with a shocked expression.

“Junior Brother, from today on, your name will be as renowned as Uncle Red River’s in the entire Divine Wood Sect.”

Qi Rui was full of emotion. He remembered the young boy who was a little flustered when facing the attack of the demon beast on the Green Light Island.

Although he had thought that Chen Mobai would become a member of the Divine Wood Sect, even a true disciple, he had never imagined that in less than four years, this handsome young man would have grown to such an extent.

“Let’s go, let’s have a good drink today.”

Chen Mobai said with a smile, calling Qi Rui and the others who had planned to comfort him after his defeat to the tavern they often went to.

Yuan Chiyi was also there.
