Lilu Lu shook her head upon hearing Li Yunqing's words.
"We want to gather the Eight Extraordinary Techniques by ourselves for you," she said.
Li Yunqing patted Lilu Lu's head and smiled. "Then I'll be waiting for you."
"We'll do our best!"
At that moment, Sera and the others arrived.
"There are eight matches in the morning and eight in the afternoon, and I’m in the morning session," Sera said, hugging Li Yunqing's arm.
Li Yunqing patted her head upon hearing her words. "So who are you fighting against?"
"Hu Jie."
"The one involved in loan sharking?"
"Yeah, that's the one. I think we can take him down."
"Forget it, let him be."
Hu Jie was one of the Quasi-Four Madmen, known as Huo Gen Miao Shen Chong, whose ability revolved around loan sharking. He could form contracts with others, allowing the contractors to absorb the essence of the deceased by defeating them. However, a portion of the essence absorbed from each kill would be transferred to Shen Chong himself, and as the number of defeats increased, this proportion would gradually rise. When the essence gained from killing became less and less, the contractor would start to lose their sanity.
Hu Jie was already on the brink of losing his mind.
Once Hu Jie finishes his matches, he will definitely lose his sanity, and that’s when the story of Longhu Mountain and Quan Xing will officially begin.
"Shall we go check out the venue first?"
"Sure."
Upon arriving at the venue, it became clear that aside from a few outliers, there wasn't a significant gap in strength among the participants.
Each of them had their own martial arts, and the duel was essentially a battle of endurance. At least, Li Yunqing and the others had been watching for nearly half an hour, and the two were still engaged in a fierce exchange.
Finally, it came to an end. Sera leaped down from her position. Meanwhile, Hu Jie strolled in leisurely, a sinister smile plastered across his face as he looked at Sera.
Through high-interest loans, he had quickly acquired an unprecedented amount of Qi, which made him feel extraordinarily powerful. This overwhelming Qi clouded his judgment, leading him to believe he could defeat Sera. He even fantasized about injuring her severely and then ambushing her at noon to steal her Qi. Surely someone so strong must possess equally potent Qi, he thought, licking his lips unconsciously as he gazed at Sera.
Sera found Hu Jie’s demeanor repulsive.
The match began! As soon as the Daoist priest's voice fell, Hu Jie charged forward.
With a powerful punch! Hu Jie unleashed a devastating blow fueled by his immense Qi, amplifying its force exponentially.
In response, Sera instantly countered after Hu Jie threw his punch.
Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide!
Several massive waves surged forth in an instant, crashing into Hu Jie. He was immediately sent flying, colliding with the arena wall and becoming embedded within it.
Judge Daozhang rushed over to assess the situation. A human-shaped imprint appeared on the wall; the Daoist priest quickly deduced that Hu Jie had multiple fractures. Given the blood streaming from his seven orifices, it was likely that his internal organs were also severely damaged.
"Hurry up and get him out."
The competition ended, and the victor was Sera. After announcing the result, the Daoist hurriedly lifted Hu Jie onto his back and rushed towards the healing area.
In the audience, most had come because of Sera, and they were familiar with Hu Jie as well. After all, Hu Jie had previously left the other three competitors severely injured in their match, so there were no complaints about his performance this time.
Sera is still so strong! What kind of technique was that? How did so many waves suddenly appear?
Sera looks a lot like Lilu Lu; they must be sisters. Their techniques are quite similar, but with different focuses.
As the audience discussed, Sera approached Li Yunqing after the Daoist declared her victory.
"Darling, I'm here! I didn't like that look he gave me, so I went a bit hard on him."
"No worries, do whatever you want. I've got your back," Li Yunqing comforted as he patted Sera's head.
"Just got back from home and started work. I'll be there by seven tonight. After dinner, I'll quickly write a chapter. I might only manage one today."
