"I dare not disobey a woman, what makes you say she's special?" Dongfang Wuji toyed with her small hand, "By the way, she's also your savior."
Savior... Luo Qianqian was startled. This woman was a demigod!
"Your Majesty commanded me to protect her well. If anything happens to her, Your Majesty will skin me alive," Dongfang Wuji shuddered at the thought.
"So that's how it is," Luo Qianqian nodded. "I will protect her too!"
Hearing this, he gently ruffled her hair. "Leave this to me. You just need to protect yourself."
"The last match! Ziyun Sect versus Que Tian Sect!"
Luo Qianqian excitedly looked towards the arena.
Bai Ran and a few others slowly ascended the stage. Su Yichen grinned like a chrysanthemum, "Finally, I can fight you."
Xiao Ming's eyes were also filled with boundless fighting spirit. "Miss Bai, please give me your guidance."
"The match begins!" As the referee's words fell, the arena instantly ignited with battle.
According to the plan, Ran Shuang and the others successfully intercepted the three disciples of Ziyun Sect.
"One against two, you look down on us a bit," Su Yichen chuckled.
Bai Ran drew her Feng Yin Sword, its tip pointing directly at the two. "It's because you're too weak."
Upon hearing this, Ma Huai, who was not far away, twitched his lips. Captain Bai... they were just a little weaker compared to you...
Xiao Ming's expression sank slightly. "Miss Bai, please forgive me."
In an instant, both of them vanished from the stage.
"Such speed!" Qiao Mu below the stage showed concern. "Their strength has improved again!"
"Oh, don't worry. Don't you know Miss Bai's strength? Fighting them is like playing around," Liang Wenjing patted him.
Bai Ran held the Feng Yin Sword, not moving an inch. "The speed is fast."
"But their openings are full of flaws," she chuckled, then suddenly turned and slashed at Xiao Ming, who was about to attack.
At this moment, Su Yichen also appeared behind Bai Ran, gathering spiritual energy and attacking Bai Ran.
"Attacking from both sides! Will she get hurt!" Luo Qianqian watched nervously from the stands.
Dongfang Wuji let out a smile. "No."
After Bai Ran repelled Xiao Ming, her Feng Yin Sword became wreathed in flames. The flames surged towards Su Yichen, repelling him several meters away.
The two landed, their expressions solemn.
"As strong as ever," Su Yichen chuckled. "Then how about this move?"
His body slowly transformed into a pool of water, and countless water pillars shot towards Bai Ran.
Xiao Ming also conjured several wind blades, whistling towards Bai Ran.
"Shape-shifting!" Sect Master Xiong exclaimed. "Su Yichen actually learned shape-shifting!"
Shape-shifting refers to cultivators who have completely mastered the elemental attributes within their bodies, transforming their bodies into the corresponding attributes.
In the shape-shifted state, all physical attacks are ineffective against the cultivator.
The water pillars and wind blades flew rapidly towards Bai Ran, but she still stood on the stage, unmoving.
"Not good! They're going to hit Sister Bai!" Fang Tianhui's heart was in her throat.
"Whoosh—" The water pillars and wind blades passed straight through Bai Ran's body!
Holes appeared in Bai Ran's abdomen, but the expected splash of blood did not occur.
Within the holes, there were raging flames!
"You've learned shape-shifting too!" Su Yichen's brow furrowed. "But why can your shape-shifting defend against my water pillars?"
Logically, shape-shifting could only defend against physical attacks like weapons. Attacks that used spiritual energy, like water pillars and wind blades, were unavoidable even for a shape-shifted cultivator.
But why could Bai Ran do it?
Xiao Ming's expression was also grim. Bai Ran's body had transformed into flames, meaning all their attacks were ineffective against her...
Bai Ran smirked, and the wounds on her body healed rapidly. "Ordinary shape-shifting naturally cannot."
However, she originally possessed two divine flames within her body. Fire and she were one, and with shape-shifting, defending against spiritual energy attacks was naturally effortless.
But if the opponent's strength was far superior to Bai Ran's, she would not be able to defend either.
"Is it over? Then it's my turn," Bai Ran raised her hand, and flames instantly erupted, forming two enormous fire dragons in the air.
With a flick of her wrist, the fire dragons roared towards the two.
Not good! The spiritual energy carried by the fire dragons was too immense; they had to dodge!
The two leaped into the air, thinking they had evaded Bai Ran's attack. However, with a flick of Bai Ran's wrist, the fire dragons immediately changed direction and attacked the two in mid-air!
Xiao Ming quickly channeled spiritual energy to block, but it was instantly shattered by the fire dragons!
"Ahhh!" In the blink of an eye, the fire dragons engulfed Xiao Ming, passing completely through him and soaring into the sky!
"Boom—!" Xiao Ming, scorched black, slammed heavily onto the stage and fell unconscious.
"One down," Bai Ran's lips parted slightly.
Su Yichen was shocked. He immediately transformed into a pool of water in a corner of the stage and then vanished into thin air.
Bai Ran chuckled, and the fire dragons in the sky dissipated.
"Su Yichen disappeared?"
"Can he teleport?"
The disciples below the stage were confused.
Bai Ran slowly walked to the pool of water and squatted down. "He can transfer his true form here in an instant. Such speed is incredible."
At this moment, Su Yichen's face was contorted. Should he come out or not...
Bai Ran slowly reached her hand into the water. As everyone watched in confusion, she actually pulled Su Yichen out of the water!
She held the Feng Yin Sword and pressed it directly against his neck.
"Sigh," Su Yichen sighed. "I concede."
"Bang—!" Bai Ran let go, and he fell onto the stage.
Meanwhile, Ran Shuang and the others were still locked in a fierce battle.
The disciples of Ziyun Sect saw that Xiao Ming and Su Yichen had fallen, and Bai Ran was walking towards them. They were instantly terrified and jumped off the stage one after another.
Ma Huai rested his sword on his shoulder. "Captain Bai, you are mighty."
"Match ended! Que Tian Sect wins—!"
"We won! We are the number one in the Middle Realm!" Fang Tianhui stood up excitedly. "Sister Bai is truly amazing!"
"Watching this makes me so excited. Lady Bai is indeed brilliant and heroic!" Qin Mubai laughed, slinging an arm around Fang Tianhui.
"Bai Ran! So cool!"
"Heavens, her strength has increased again!"
"Bai Ran, my goddess!"
"Bai Ran—!" The cheers erupted once more, reaching the heavens.
"Wow—" Luo Qianqian's eyes sparkled. "She's so amazing! The entire crowd is cheering for her!"
Dongfang Wuji smiled. "She is indeed such a dazzling woman."
The cheers continued incessantly, so much so that the referee could not announce the match result.
Sect Master Xiong flashed forward and appeared on the stage with a smile. "Everyone, please be quiet. Let's ask Bai Ran to say a few words."
The crowd immediately fell silent, and expectant gazes fixed on her.
Bai Ran stiffened. Is this old man too bored?
