Amidst the thunderous roar,
Two blood-soaked figures fell simultaneously. Chen Mobai immediately rushed towards Shi Yuanqing, trying to catch him before he hit the ground.
But as quick as his reaction was, someone else was even faster.
A pure white figure arrived first, surpassing Chen Mobai and supporting Shi Yuanqing. Then, she gently laid him on the ground, skillfully sealing several of his critical acupoints.
“Ning, we need you over here urgently. He’s barely breathing. Come and save him.”
Just as she finished dealing with Shi Yuanqing, an anxious voice from the representative of the Five Thunder Academy on the stage rang out.
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, even if he’s out of breath, I can bring him back from the brink of death.”
As Chen Mobai arrived, the representative of the Medical Academy in a white coat immediately grabbed his hand and placed it on Shi Yuanqing’s heart.
“Keep pressing with this force and don’t stop. I’m going to save the other one.”
The representative of the Medical Academy, a young man wearing a mask, instructed Chen Mobai on the emergency procedures before quickly heading to the stage.
Although Xue Luan had knocked Shi Yuanqing off the stage, his condition was extremely dire. Not only were all his pores burned off, but the flesh of his left hand, which had been clenched into a fist, had melted away, leaving only bare bones.
Moreover, his breathing was extremely weak, and the violent power of heavenly thunder rampaged within his body, rupturing his meridians and even causing them to burst.
If it weren’t for the representative of the Five Thunder Academy, who was extremely familiar with the power of thunder, protecting Xue Luan’s dantian and placing a thunder bead on his chest to continuously draw out the unrefined violent heavenly thunder power from his body, he would have already died.
The representative of the Medical Academy was even more professional.
He pulled out a scalpel from his sleeve and made eighteen precise and elegant cuts on Xue Luan’s body, causing blood to splatter.
As soon as the eighteen cuts were made, the dark purple power of heavenly thunder, no longer restrained by meridians and flesh, burst out from Xue Luan’s body along the cuts, and was completely absorbed by the thunder bead controlled by the representative of the Five Thunder Academy.
“Rest and recuperate for half a year, and you should be fine. But if you want to fully recover, it might depend on the Divine Thunder Method of your Five Thunder Academy.”
“This guy might not even be able to join our academy.”
The representative of the Five Thunder Academy, seeing that Xue Luan’s breathing had returned to normal, no longer showed the urgency he had at the beginning, but instead started to act nonchalant in front of the representative of the Medical Academy.
“Call the school doctor from Danzhu Academy to take this guy away. I need to deal with the other one.”
The representative of the Medical Academy, named Ning Anning, was a cultivator who had risen rapidly in the field of medicine in the past twenty years. After instructing the school doctor, he returned to Chen Mobai’s side.
“Good job with the compressions.”
Ning Anning first checked Chen Mobai’s actions, praised him, then asked him to stop. He then pulled out his scalpel again and skillfully cut open the ceramic armor on Shi Yuanqing’s body.
The ceramic armor, which could even withstand the power of heavenly thunder, was as fragile as tofu in front of this small scalpel.
“This kid is reckless. Despite having three broken ribs, he still wanted to fight to the end.”
Ning Anning cut open the chest wound on Shi Yuanqing that had been caved in by Xue Luan, released the thunder and lightning spiritual power within, then took out a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound. With a swipe of his hand, all the displaced and broken bones returned to their original positions, and the sunken flesh bounced back to its original flatness.
However, the wound needed time to heal, and the recovery of the bones was the slowest.
“Take some calcium supplements, and you should be fine after lying down for three months.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
Chen Mobai and Shi Jingjing both thanked Ning Anning at the same time. The latter immediately waved his hand, cleaned himself up with a cleansing spell, then called the school doctor from Danzhu Academy to bring a stretcher over and take Shi Yuanqing away.
“I thought it was going to be a boring fight, but now I’m a bit interested in the next two rounds.”
After saving the two, Ning Anning leisurely returned to his seat and smiled at the other representatives of the Daoist academies.
“Both of them just now were not bad, they are qualified to enter our Taiyuan Academy.”
A beautiful young girl glanced at Xue Luan and Shi Yuanqing, who were being carried away on stretchers, and said something that made the representative of the Five Thunder Academy snort.
“Let’s not talk about the one who broke through in battle with dual fire and earth spiritual roots. If this Xue Luan doesn’t come to our Five Thunder Academy, his future will be ruined.”
“If he has a fire spiritual root, he should come to our Pure Yang Academy for further study. He might have a chance to form his golden core in the future.”
A chubby man said something that made everyone roll their eyes. Who among them didn’t have the potential to form a golden core? But in the end, probably only one or two would succeed.
Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi were famous enough, weren’t they? They had been at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for over a decade, but they were still waiting for the right opportunity and didn’t dare to take the next step rashly.
“The third round has begun.”
With the warm-up of the previous two rounds, the representatives of the Daoist academies, who were initially not very interested, immediately focused their attention on Yang Jing and Hong Gang, who had just taken the stage.
“This young girl seems to have some problems.”
Ning Anning suddenly noticed something when he took a closer look.
“What’s wrong? Have you taken a liking to this girl with an unusual spiritual root? Do you want to snatch her from Sister Yan?”
The representative of the Five Thunder Academy asked curiously when he heard Ning Anning’s words.
“No, I might have seen it wrong.”
Ning Anning shook his head and didn’t say anything more.
However, the girl in the blue dress sitting at the far left of their row looked up and glanced at Ning Anning with a slight surprise.
Yan Qiongzhi didn’t expect him to notice.
This battle, however, was somewhat disappointing for the spectators.Although Hong Gang had cultivated the formidable Vajra Body, he was completely countered by Yang Jing’s eerie ghostly power. Eventually, his mental weakness was discovered, and he only managed to hold on for ten moves under Yang Jing’s hand before his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the stage.
“A bit disappointing.”
Chen Mobai shook his head. Hong Gang had quite a reputation, rumored to have fought several times with Xue Luan, with no clear winner. He had initially thought that even if Hong Gang was not a match for Yang Jing, he could at least force her to reveal some of her cards. However, he didn’t even have the strength to fight back.
The last match of this round was between Kong Feichen and Ji Jing.
There was no suspense at all. Although Ji Jing tried her best and had the strength of the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, Kong Feichen didn’t give her any chance, learning from Shi Yuanqing’s sudden breakthrough in the battle.
As soon as he stepped on the stage, he bombarded Ji Jing with a first-grade superior Wind Thunder Talisman combined with his unique wind power. Ji Jing struggled for a few rounds, but eventually ran out of all her talismans. Kong Feichen broke through all her defenses, and she had no choice but to surrender.
