canceled the R&D department. With such a heaven-defying prescription in hand, who would need to spend money on research and development anymoreEven if Shao Dongliang and his team spent a lifetime rese...In the midst of everyone's puzzled gaze, Situ Dianmo grew weaker with each strike, barely holding on for a dozen moves before being knocked off the stage by a single palm, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing his own family's disciples finally win, Wei Changsong burst into laughter.

I thought to myself, did this kid take the money or actually do the job And he put on quite a show! If I didn't know better, I would have been fooled.

He was also worried that the other party would concede immediately, which wouldn't look good in the end. Besides, he had placed bets in various gambling dens, and an easy win could easily arouse suspicion from others.

The audience below was in an uproar, no one had expected that the undefeated golden body of Lingyun Jianzong would be broken in this match.

Although I was surprised, I could still accept it emotionally.

After all, the competition has reached this stage. It's impossible to expect all five players to win.

On the platform of honor, Wuhua Daojun showed a puzzled expression: "What's going on This shouldn't be the case, logically speaking."

Before, because everyone from the Lingyun Jianzong was carrying concealed aura treasures, he couldn't see through them, which is understandable.

But it should be getting stronger, why did it suddenly weaken

"I know what's going on."

Next to him, Ouyang Pingjiang revealed a look of knowing everything, "In my opinion, the Lingyun Jianzong's previous improvement was definitely abnormal. Either they used secret methods to overdraw their vitality in exchange for cultivation, or they took drugs that temporarily boosted their strength."

None of them can last forever, now it's time to pay the price.

Wu Huo Daojun nodded, seemingly the only explanation that made sense.

However, this is not against the rules. The Hundred Schools Tournament's rules are that there are no rules. As long as you can win on the stage, it's skill. Whether you use pills or special methods is within the allowed range.

Watching Ouyang Pingjiang speak eloquently, Chixia Fairy beside him couldn't help but smile inwardly. She naturally knew what was going on, but she absolutely couldn't say anything about it.

Though my heart was filled with joy, my expression remained cold.

Seeing her silence, Ouyang Pingjiang said, "Elder Chixia, why don't you speak"

There's nothing to say.

Chíxiā Xiānzi shook her head slightly. The other party thought they saw through everything, but the truth was ten thousand eight thousand miles away.

However, Ouyang Pingjiang didn't know about any of this. In his eyes, the reason why Chixia Fairy wasn't in high spirits was entirely because of the upcoming match.

“Elder Chixia, actually winning and losing are common occurrences in warfare. Ao Yue’s strength is still lacking. Losing doesn't mean anything. We just need to practice harder in the future.”

You don't have to be down in the dumps, and you shouldn't take it to heart.

"Elder OuYang, what do you mean by that It sounds like you think our Bixia Sect is bound to lose this match!"

Ou Yang Pingjiang gave a smug smile: "We're all old acquaintances, there's no need to force it with this kind of thing. "

In the past, your Bi Xia Sect could have ranked in the top three.

It's a pity that I got the west wind gale early this time, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, strength is a hard thing to change.

Ouyang Pingjiang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Elder Chixia, I really don't know who gave you the confidence. If you're not convinced, how about we have another wager"

In his opinion, the other party must be putting on a brave face for the sake of appearances. He himself wouldn't dare to provoke them, even if he wanted to.

To my utter surprise, Chixia Fairy didn't hesitate at all. She directly asked, "Then what do you propose we wager"

"This..."

Ouyang Pingjiang was taken aback, looking at the other party in surprise: "You're not kidding, you really dare to bet"

"What are you afraid of Name your bet, and I'm in."

Ouyang Pingjiang, however, was unaware of all this and was immediately overjoyed.

Yesterday I just lost three games, today I can finally win a game.

He pondered, the higher-order Xianling Grass had been exhausted, and those of lower grades were simply not worth it.

"How about we make a bet of ten billion mid-grade immortal crystals"

This guy was so excited, he didn't even have that much fairy crystal. He directly brought the sect's resources to use as a bet.

After all, in his eyes, this gamble was a win-win situation. No matter how much he bet, it didn't matter; ultimately, it was the Bixia Sect who would lose.

Chíxiā Xiānzi's expression was indifferent, but in her heart, she was overjoyed. With these ten billion Xianjing, she could finally repay the favors owed to Junlín Dān.

At this moment, the second match on the stage has begun. Xuanyuan Linglong is against Qiao Yunan from Hehe Sword Sect.

This match was extremely exciting and intense.

Xuan Yuan Ling Long directly suppressed her cultivation to the late Immortal King stage, and the two were evenly matched in strength, so their battle was naturally intense.

After fighting for three hundred moves, he was finally knocked off the stage by a single palm strike from his opponent.

This match can be said to be even more perfect than the last, losing beautifully with no flaws and raising no suspicion whatsoever.

Even though Xuanyuan Linglong's previous performance was extremely extraordinary, everyone guessed that she was at most a late-stage Immortal Monarch. Therefore, this result was somewhat expected.

Ouyang Pingjiang pointed at the distant landscape once more and said, "Elder Chixia, you see, Lingyun Jianzong's good fortune has finally run out."

It's a pity you missed it.

Elder Chixia's few words were light but carried a heavy weight, leaving Ouyang Pingjiang red-faced and embarrassed. He had lost three matches yesterday because he underestimated the Lingyun Jianzong.

Behind the three, Yuan Kun, the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sword Sect, wore a look of disdain on his face, his eyes filled with mockery.

To think he still wants my Immortal Crystals, he's delusional.

He now deeply admired his wise decision from yesterday, even with a touch of pride.

It's obvious that Lingyun Sword Sect has reached its end. They don't even have the qualification to make a deal with me. If I had actually paid them that sum of fairy crystals, I would be regretting it to death now.

The competition ended, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to the next match.

It's strange to say, but Ye Bufan didn't move a single finger, yet he became the focus of the entire game. Every move he made attracted the attention of countless people.

"The Lingyun Jianzong's luck has run out, this kid has also come to the end..."

"That's pretty good, reaching this far without even playing a formal match. If I dreamed this, I'd wake up smiling..."

"Great, this guy is out for good. He can't advance to the next round anymore..."

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd. In everyone's eyes, this match was a battle between fellow disciples. Naturally, Ye Bufan, the weaker one, would concede defeat and let Leng Qingqiu face the stronger opponents in the later rounds. Who knows, she might even create another miracle.

To everyone's astonishment, under the gaze of all, Leng Qingqiu softly uttered three words from her mouth, "I concede!"

After finishing, he turned and jumped off the stage.

"This…"

Now everyone was dumbfounded. There had been no fighting between the disciples, but no one had expected that it was Leng Qingqiu, who had previously been renowned for his astonishing swordsmanship and brilliance, who conceded defeat.

While Ye Bufan smiled, standing there still without making a move, not even a finger twitching, he entered the next round once more.Shen Qiyue chewed thoughtfully, her brow furrowing slightly. "This medicine tastes strange."
