One purely in love, one with a phobia of love, truly remarkable!
But actually, for Xia Yunxi, if Hong Yu could have something happen with Li Qingyun, it wouldn't be bad either.
She wasn't foolish; she was still quite appreciative of Li Qingyun's aptitude and strength.
Being able to provoke so many people and remain safe until now was also a kind of skill.
But what made her very unhappy was, aside from being a bit proactive and not thinking clearly, in what aspect was their Hong Yu fairy not top-tier?
Was her face not perfect? Were her assets not ample? Was her figure not good?
Why was this Li Qingyun so disgusted?
She pondered for a moment, then asked the Green Emperor, "Great Emperor Green, does your disciple have unusual preferences regarding the gender of their chosen partner?"
The Green Emperor immediately became agitated, "Don't spread baseless rumors! He's just been hurt in love, so he has a phobia of love!"
"Then how can you be a master? Why don't you counsel him?"
"Ah, really? You need to manage his psychological health for this?"
Everyone stared at the Green Emperor, "???"
The Green Emperor instantly became furious and slammed the table, "What do you mean? How dare you look at this Emperor like that?"
Here it comes, seeing he wasn't in the right, he started putting on airs again.
These powerful figures were already accustomed to it, and they all turned their heads in unison, looking at the geniuses fighting in the scroll painting.
The Green Emperor also sat down unhappily. He felt that Li Qingyun's psychological health could be managed by Chu Yang; after all, he had experience.
If they couldn't capture Li Qingyun in the first wave, it would be difficult to do so later because they were no longer united and had to guard against those behind them at all times.
Some people also found the place where Li Qingyun and Hong Yu were hiding, but it was too late.
Li Qingyun had layered ten [Mist Illusory Kill Formations] around himself.
As soon as these people touched the formation's range, they felt dizzy and disoriented, their minds no longer their own.
If they went deeper, wouldn't their brain CPUs directly burn out?
Setting up this wave of formations had cost Li Qingyun over a hundred top-grade spirit stones, which made his heart ache.
But fortunately, he had been frugal over the years, coupled with robbing the storage rings of a bunch of geniuses, which was barely enough to sustain himself.
Then, he didn't go out to fight but stayed hidden here.
It wasn't until there were only a hundred people left that he and Hong Yu were both teleported out.
Hong Yu's enlightenment state was interrupted. She was close to mastering this formation and felt a bit angry.
"Damn it..."
When she wanted to look again, Li Qingyun took away the formation diagram, "What's with the 'damn it'? This is a treasure I'm taking home. You don't want to secretly take it, do you?"
Hong Yu's eyes widened. Looking at her surroundings, she suddenly realized that the trial had ended.
Although she wasn't very smart, she could figure out how she was tricked after being deceived.
She clenched her fist, trembling with anger!
"Damn it, Li Qingyun, you actually set a trap for me!"
Li Qingyun subtly took two steps back and then drew a dividing line with his hand gesture.
"Fairy Hong Yu, please clarify, didn't I teach you how to study formations?"
"Ah, was that teaching?"
"Just tell me, is your understanding of formations now on a higher level than before?"
"Ah, this..." Hong Yu was choked for a moment.
Although she hadn't fully learned this [Mist Illusory Kill Formation], if she were to study some simple formations now, she would definitely grasp them in minutes.
But... but this was the rare opportunity for them to be alone that she had created. She didn't really want to learn formations, damn it!
Li Qingyun continued, "Furthermore, didn't I allow you to easily enter the top one hundred without participating in any battles throughout the process?"
"Ah, this..."
"In conclusion, for using your teleportation talisman, we are square. We will have to fight each other if we meet again!"
Hong Yu was so wronged she was about to cry. What did he mean by meeting again? You haven't even met me properly yet!
But regardless, apart from not gaining any advantage over Li Qingyun, she had still made a profit.
Not everyone could enter an enlightenment state at any time with the power of the Enlightenment Tree like Li Qingyun. She had also benefited from it.
Others were even angrier to see Li Qingyun safe and sound!
After a brief rest, came the second phase of the competition.
That is, grouping for confrontation.
This process would take about a month, all one-on-one duels.
In this phase, Li Qingyun was the most confident.
As a genius with heaven-defying potential, he feared no solo combat.
Those who were unconvinced of him might think he ran away because he feared them; in reality, he mainly feared being ganged up on.
He looked towards the Green Emperor on the high viewing platform, only to see the Green Emperor making a greasy heart gesture at him.
Li Qingyun: "..."
The Green Emperor had also picked up many bad habits from Blue Star, truly out of place!
Although the Green Emperor was purely hands-off with him, he merely didn't provide Li Qingyun with resources to improve his cultivation. Cultivation methods, immortal arts, formations, and combat skills were all directly infused into Li Qingyun's mind with a single palm strike when he first met him.
It seemed that by teaching his inheritance to Li Qingyun, he had fulfilled his duty as a master.
"Fifth match: Li Qingyun versus Yun Hang!"
"Li Qingyun! I've tolerated you for a long time, and this time I must step on you and humiliate you severely!"
A few minutes later, Yun Hang flew out directly.
"Damn it, remember me, I will definitely return!"
...
"Thirty-third match, Li Qingyun versus Ren Tianxing!"
"Haha, I've finally waited for this opportunity!"
This battle was a bit challenging for Li Qingyun, but it was not a big problem. After about ten minutes of fighting, holding the Enlightenment Tree, he directly smashed Ren Tianxing out of the arena.
Ren Tianxing's eyes were vacant, and he was taken away by his sect elders.
...
"Sixty-sixth match, Li Qingyun versus Hong Yu!"
"Sob sob sob, I won't fight back, can I ask for a hug if I surrender actively?"
Xia Yunxi, the Valley Master of Residual Fragrance Valley, put her hand on her forehead and sighed. Although she knew Hong Yu couldn't defeat Li Qingyun anyway, couldn't she be less embarrassing?
In the end, Li Qingyun also had a cold expression and directly slapped Hong Yu out of the arena, but he controlled his strength, not letting her get too injured, as she wasn't resisting anyway!
...
Finally, Li Qingyun swept through everyone.
In the final decisive battle, he faced a possessor of the Void Body, who also had heaven-defying potential.
Both were in the late stage of Void Refining, and they engaged in a fierce offensive.
Ultimately, Li Qingyun won by a slim margin solely due to the sustained nature of his cultivation method, standing on the highest award podium covered in blood.
He ascended to the peak and suppressed an entire generation!
Therefore, those who had looked down on him before were silenced, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
He had even defeated the Void Body; what else could they object to?
