Under this powerful surge of energy, most of the disciples outside the arena took several steps back.
Those with lower cultivation levels even felt their spiritual palaces tremble violently.
Everyone looked at Dong Weiqi's position with horror.
Dense dust had already spread from that spot, making it impossible for anyone to see the situation within.
Wu Tian casually retracted the Thunderclap Sword, his expression unchanged, not even his breathing disturbed.
Despite having just repelled Dong Weiqi's top-tier spiritual skill, he showed no signs of distress. Such composure was utterly beyond the norm for disciples of the Divine Doctor Sect.
Soon, the thick dust dispersed with the wind, and everyone could finally see Dong Weiqi's condition.
However, what they saw made them gasp in shock.
Witnessing Dong Weiqi's appearance, everyone's breathing became rigid.
"This..." Their eyes widened, utterly disbelieving what they were seeing.
Dong Weiqi was still standing in his original spot, but his figure was swaying precariously, looking as if he could collapse at any moment.
His entire body was covered in scorched black marks, the remnants of lightning attacks that had nearly incinerated his flesh.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his mind was numb from the electric shock. At this moment, he could barely recall where he was.
Wu Tian smiled at him and said, "My apologies, I might have been a bit heavy-handed."
"But you were the one who said fists and feet have no eyes, so you can't really blame me, can you?"
After a considerable pause, Dong Weiqi finally regained his senses.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "This... How could this happen? How could this happen!"
"Why did I lose to you? It shouldn't be like this! No matter how I think about it, this shouldn't have happened!"
Wu Tian chuckled, "There are so many 'shouldn'ts' in the world. Ultimately, it's just because your strength is inferior to mine."
"Consider this a lesson learned today."
"Don't be so arrogant and overbearing in the future, or you'll end up suffering losses like this."
Dong Weiqi's eyes trembled, but he simply could not accept this outcome.
He glared at Wu Tian and said, "I refuse to accept this! There must be something wrong!"
"I am the second disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect!"
"Someone like you, someone like you, how can you... cough cough cough..."
His body was already severely injured, and with his emotional agitation, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Wu Tian knew the man was still trying to be stubborn, so he smiled and said, "Who you are is not important. What's important is that you have lost to me."
"I'll ask you this: do you admit to this fact?"
"If you don't admit it, that's fine too. We can just have another match. This sort of thing is no problem for me."
As he spoke, lightning flickered in Wu Tian's hand again, indicating he was ready to attack.
Given Dong Weiqi's current state, he was in no condition to spar with Wu Tian. Even an ordinary person could knock him out with a slap.
Therefore, he quickly said, "Wait! What are you doing!"
"I'm warning you, don't mess around, or you won't be able to leave the Divine Doctor Realm!"
Wu Tian laughed, "You're a strange person. You won't do this, and you won't do that. What do you expect me to do?"
"This competition must have a winner, and since you refuse to concede, I'll have to beat you into submission."
"To help you lose to me faster, I'll be even heavier-handed this time."
"So... please be prepared!"
With that, lightning began to gather in Wu Tian's hand.
He raised his hand, truly intending to attack Dong Weiqi.
Dong Weiqi was utterly terrified.
Driven by his instinct for survival, he frantically raised his hand and shouted, "Wait, wait! I admit it! I lost this time! Stop!"
"Oh really?" Wu Tian had been waiting for Dong Weiqi to beg for mercy.
He immediately turned to Mo Xuantian and said with a smile, "Sect Master Mo, since he has surrendered, I should be considered the winner this time, right?"
Mo Xuantian chuckled and said, "Of course, you've won. But young man, I must say, you've truly surprised me."
"With someone like you emerging from the Night God family, I'm sure its future development will be even more prosperous."
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "It's nothing. I just won by luck. This hardly counts as true skill."
"Sect Master Mo, you might be even more surprised in the future."
As he said this, Mo Xuantian could clearly sense a hint of hostility and hatred in Wu Tian's tone.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he didn't dwell on it.
He smiled again and said, "Is that so? Then I shall look forward to it, hehe."
With the competition reaching this point, the outcome was quite clear.
No one had anticipated that Dong Weiqi would lose to Wu Tian, and lose so abjectly.
Dong Weiqi, dragging his heavily injured body, walked off the arena.
Upon reaching Xiao Qilin, he dared not look him in the eye and said timidly, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. I lost."
"He... he's just too powerful..."
Xiao Qilin's expression had turned extremely grim.
Without even glancing at Dong Weiqi, he said, "Useless!"
"You don't need to follow me anymore. All the benefits and resources I've given you, you must return to me starting today."
Dong Weiqi hadn't expected Xiao Qilin to be so heartless.
But having followed Xiao Qilin for so long, he knew Xiao Qilin was a stern person, and any explanation would be futile.
The thought of everything he possessed turning to dust made his chest feel constricted.
In a surge of grief and anger, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood before collapsing onto the ground.
The disciples quickly gathered around him, but Xiao Qilin still refused to spare him a glance. Instead, he cast his cold, menacing gaze towards Wu Tian.
Wu Tian was just about to step out of the arena.
Sensing Xiao Qilin's gaze, he did not evade it. Instead, he met it head-on, flashing a brilliant smile.
"Hmph!" Seeing Wu Tian's attitude ignited Xiao Qilin's anger. His face contorted with malice as he said, "You scoundrel, do you really think you can turn the world upside down?"
"Once I deal with that woman Su Qiannai, you'll be next."
"By then, I'll make you truly taste what it's like to offend me..."
