"Golden Stone Beast, charge her! Kill her!"
Jin Ruyi also heard Feng Wuya's words and felt extremely anxious, issuing a death order to the Golden Stone Beast.
The Golden Stone Beast instantly pawed at the ground, lowered its head, and charged at Bai Shengyi with its double horns.
"Pfft!"
Bai Shengyi couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly by the horns. The force was so great that it made her stumble and almost fall to the ground.
She wiped the blood from her lips, her gaze calm and thoughtful, "So this is how the Golden Spirit Root can be used?"
Previously, Chu Tianle and Zhou Yi had both attached the metallic attribute of their golden spiritual power to their weapons, enhancing the weapons' sharpness and hardness to make them more powerful. But this Golden Stone Beast had indeed applied its golden spiritual power to itself.
The small horns seemed to carry immense weight, making Bai Shengyi's stomach churn and her blood surge.
"Hahaha, Bai Shengyi, did you see? My Golden Stone Beast is invincible like this! You're doomed to lose today! Once I defeat you, I'll fight another match and advance! You are all failed examinees!"
Jin Ruyi laughed gleefully, watching Bai Shengyi's predicament.
She desperately wanted to see Bai Shengyi flustered and scared, but she was disappointed.
Bai Shengyi glanced at her indifferently, "If I can't deal with it, can't I kill you first?"
As she spoke, her speed became astonishingly fast!
Extremely fast!
As if carried by the wind, she instantly bypassed the Golden Stone Beast and appeared before Jin Ruyi. Frightened, Jin Ruyi immediately threw out a spiritual formation, but Bai Shengyi was prepared. With a hook from the Qiong Meng vine branch, she captured the spiritual formation in advance. With no other option, Jin Ruyi had to endure Bai Shengyi's palm strike.
"Zhou Yi! Golden Stone Beast! Damn it, help me quickly!" Jin Ruyi dodged awkwardly, her previous pride shattered in an instant.
The Golden Stone Beast swiftly charged over to help, but saw Bai Shengyi use her spiritual power as a long whip to bind Jin Ruyi and swing her to her front. The Golden Stone Beast was forced to pause its actions due to concern.
"Bang!"
"Crash!"
The sound of something being shattered.
Bai Shengyi only heard the Qiong Meng vine weakly say, "Master, she has dismantled the dream." Then the Qiong Meng vine withered and slumped back onto Bai Shengyi's wrist to coil around her.
Zhou Yi's offensive was fierce, she even disregarded her own safety, relentlessly attacking Bai Shengyi, determined to snatch Jin Ruyi back. Under the combined assault of Zhou Yi and the Golden Stone Beast, Bai Shengyi was forced to release Jin Ruyi first.
However, soon after, Chu Tianle also broke out of the formation and decisively led Zhou Yi away.
"Hold her!" Bai Shengyi shouted loudly.
Her spiritual power transformed into a long sword, and she once again pressed forward, intending to control Jin Ruyi first.
Bai Shengyi's plan was sound, but she never expected the Golden Stone Beast to be able to change its form. With a strange cry, it transformed into the shape of a half-bowl, shielding Jin Ruyi at the edge of the arena.
"Clang!"
The long sword struck the Golden Stone Beast, producing a crisp sound. The Golden Stone Beast remained still, and Jin Ruyi was securely protected.
"Golden Stone Beast, guard me closely! If I get hurt again, I'll skin you alive!" Jin Ruyi said indignantly. This damn blind woman, she would get her back if she had the chance!
"Shengyi! Another team has reached 95 points!" Feng Wuya's reminder came from below.
Bai Shengyi couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, which meant they had to speed up. Chu Tianle had completely suppressed Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi, despite her numerous injuries, did not surrender, not uttering a single groan.
Moreover, Jin Ruyi kept saying, "Zhou Yi! No surrender, kill them quickly! Kill them at all costs!"
So the key point was still Jin Ruyi, but the Golden Stone Beast was just so…
As Bai Shengyi pondered, she had already attacked the Golden Stone Beast in various ways, even finding its weakness. The Golden Stone Beast let out painful roars as it was hit, but it still stood in front of Jin Ruyi, refusing to move.
"Golden Stone Beast, hold on for me! Do not return to the contract space!"
"Even if I can't win, I won't let this blind woman win!"
Jin Ruyi shouted repeatedly, coercing and tempting the Golden Stone Beast to continue protecting her.
Since the Golden Stone Beast would not leave, and Jin Ruyi stood in a corner of the arena, if Bai Shengyi tried to bypass the Golden Stone Beast's protective circle, she would fall off the arena, thus losing herself.
Bai Shengyi frowned deeply, contemplating a solution.
At this moment, Bai Shengyi heard the voice of the Reincarnation Brush.
"Burn it! Master, use the Nine Nether Desolate Fire!" the Reincarnation Brush said quickly.
"Can I use it? How? Same as before?"
"Yes, yes!"
Realizing the Reincarnation Brush had awakened, Bai Shengyi was overjoyed, but now was not the time for such talk. Bai Shengyi quickly mobilized the wood and fire spiritual powers within her body, relying on her previous experiences.
"Sss…"
A wisp of small, black-blue flame appeared faintly on Bai Shengyi's fingertips.
Although the flame was small, the surrounding air turned cold as soon as it appeared, and the bowl formed by the Golden Stone Beast trembled slightly.
It was effective!
Bai Shengyi twitched her fingertips, and the flame shot out from her hand, suddenly igniting with a 'poof' like a prairie fire, scorching the Golden Stone Beast.
The Golden Stone Beast let out a scream, could no longer maintain its bowl-like form, and instantly reverted to its original appearance, howling in pain.
"What kind of strange fire is that!" Jin Ruyi panicked, quickly hiding behind the Golden Stone Beast and ordering it to continue attacking Bai Shengyi.
The Golden Stone Beast, seemingly gone mad, even while rolling on the ground in pain, obeyed Jin Ruyi.
It was extremely troublesome.
"Get down!" Bai Shengyi shouted fiercely, sweeping Jin Ruyi off the arena with a whip!
"Bai Shengyi!" Jin Ruyi fell on her face, her entire face contorted in anger. She had never been so disheveled during her assessment, "Aaaaah! I'll kill you! Zhou Yi, Golden Stone Beast, kill her!"
Following that, Bai Shengyi also threw the half-dead Golden Stone Beast off the arena. Only Zhou Yi was still stubbornly resisting.
"Teacher, Zhou Yi no longer has the ability to retaliate. Can the match be declared over?"
Bai Shengyi glanced at the fight between Zhou Yi and Chu Tianle, her brow furrowed. The situation she had worried about the most had indeed occurred.
Yun Ying said with a cold, stern face, "The opponent has not surrendered, so the match is not over. Are you questioning the academy teachers?"
"Shengyi…" Chu Tianle quickly signaled Bai Shengyi, urging her not to get agitated.
Zhou Yi was at the end of her rope, yet she clenched her teeth tightly. Facing Chu Tianle's attacks, she remained silent. Furthermore, using some secret technique, she seemed to have stuck herself to the arena, unmoving.
"Yes! That's right, Zhou Yi, don't let them win!" Jin Ruyi roared.
Bai Shengyi walked in front of Zhou Yi and said coldly, "Is this worth it for you?"
Completely lacking her own thoughts, becoming someone else's puppet, even disregarding her own life and future.
Zhou Yi, who had always kept her head down, finally looked at Bai Shengyi, but still said nothing.
"Shengyi, what should we do? Kill her directly?" Chu Tianle frowned deeply, appearing very troubled.
