Wang Xiaoqiang saw that Qii Jingtian was indeed as Ye Qingcheng had said: not only were his Basic Cultivation Techniques solid, but his Spell Techniques were also endlessly innovative. He dared not treat the situation lightly and immediately absorbed fifty of the two hundred Spiritual Springs within his body. Instantly, the Spiritual Power within his body surged, and with a thought, he stimulated all the Five Elements True Qi. As he opened and closed his hands, he formed a gigantic five-colored hammer. When the Yin-Yang Taiji Charge approached, Wang Xiaoqiang swung the giant hammer, made of condensed Five Elements True Qi, smashing it into the Yin-Yang Taiji Wheel.

Boom!

The five-colored giant hammer struck the Yin-Yang Taiji Wheel, shattering it into pieces. During the impact, the hammer's light also dimmed, gradually fading away.

A huge wave of True Qi exploded outward, pushing both Qii Jingtian and Wang Xiaoqiang backwards through the air.

According to the rules of the competition, falling off the platform meant defeat.

Fortunately, both individuals had profound Cultivation Bases and had reached the stage of Sky Manipulation; both managed to stay airborne after being pushed back.

"Huh? That's not right, the Spiritual Power in Wang Xiaoqiang's body has increased again!" a discerning disciple below the stage immediately observed the enhancement in Wang Xiaoqiang's Cultivation Base.

"From what I see, it looks like he has reached the Late Golden Core Stage..."

...

While the disciples below the stage were busy discussing, Wang Xiaoqiang and Qii Jingtian flew back up onto the platform.

They faced each other off again.

Qii Jingtian stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, his eyes filled with profound shock. The youth before him had managed to condense such a mighty Five Elements True Qi, a feat unheard of in the Cultivation Realm. Indeed, Zhao Wushuang had condensed Five Elements True Qi earlier, but that was due to the inherent power of the Ruthless Pipa, unrelated to Zhao Wushuang's own Spiritual Power.

Speaking of the Ruthless Pipa, it had quite a background. It was said that originally in the Land of Sacred Emptiness, there was a Tree Spirit that, during its tribulation, was struck by a massive heavenly lightning. Before its tree body was destroyed, a Daoist from the Pines fortuitously encountered it and crafted a section of the tree into a pipa. Using the Tree Spirit's wood as the base and stringing it with True Law refined Five Elements True Qi, the Ruthless Pipa was created.

Thus, the Ruthless Pipa could unleash Five Elements True Qi, which stemmed from the pipa rather than Zhao Wushuang.

In contrast, Wang Xiaoqiang was different. He had not used any Magic Treasure but had condensed the Five Elements True Qi from his own True Yuan. This ability was somewhat contrary to heaven's will.

Not only was Qii Jingtian in doubt, but several Sect Leaders and Elders on the main stage were also filled with disbelief.

When masters clashed, the outcome was often decided within three moves. Qii Jingtian knew he was no match for Wang Xiaoqiang. However, he still had a secret Spell Technique up his sleeve, so he was not ready to admit defeat.

"Senior Brother Qii, let's not waste more time. The final round, shall we decide the winner?" Wang Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows,

'That's exactly my intention,' Qii Jingtian said, then without another word, the Life-Snatching Gun traced circles in the air, forming another Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram identical to the one before. Only this time, as the Taiji Diagram formed, Qii Jingtian bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Taiji Diagram, turning it blood red instantly.

A blood-red Taiji Diagram spun ceaselessly, its fierce energy soaring to the sky.

"Blood-Colored Taiji, go!" Qii Jingtian urged the spearhead forward, hurling the blood-colored Taiji Diagram towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Knowing this was Qii Jingtian's final move, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't afford to be careless. He immediately absorbed another fifty Spiritual Springs into his body and condensed a Taiji Diagram in front of him. This diagram, rippling with five colors and incessantly rotating Five Types of True Qi, was immensely powerful.

The next moment...

The Blood-Colored Taiji clashed with the Five-Colored Taiji.

Boom!

After a deafening boom, the wooden platform splintered into pieces from the vibration. The intense force caused weaker disciples beneath the platform to spit out blood,

Meanwhile, the two combatants on the platform were also thrown backward by the powerful shockwave, spewing blood from their mouths.

However, the difference was that Qii Jingtian's body, like a kite with its string cut, eventually fell to the ground, while Wang Xiaoqiang, supported by the hundred Spiritual Springs around him, returned to the platform.

According to the rules, no matter how severe the opponent's injuries, as long as one remains standing on the platform, one is considered the winner.

"Ah, Wang Xiaoqiang won?!"

"South Gate Wang Xiaoqiang has claimed the championship!"

Not only were the disciples below exclaiming, but the several sect leaders and the six grand elders on the main stage all suddenly stood up, eyes tightly fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang on the fighting platform.

After a hundred Spiritual Springs supported Wang Xiaoqiang's body, they continuously infused Wood Element Spiritual Qi into his body, healing his injuries. Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang had recovered.

With the crowd cheering below, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't forget to release the hundred Spiritual Springs from his body.

Meanwhile, Qii Jingtian lay half-dead on the ground, while several fellow disciples were feeding him pills.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out a Fire Spirit Pill given to him by Guo Shoujing, flicked his hand, and the pill spun towards Qii Jingtian's face,

"Ah, a Fire Spirit Pill," someone exclaimed.

"A Middle Grade Pill. This, this is for whom?"

"For Qii Tianjing to accept defeat," Wang Xiaoqiang said, and someone immediately fed the Fire Spirit Pill to Qii Jingtian.

Wang Xiaoqiang's actions quickly endeared him to his fellow disciples. For a moment, the crowd erupted in applause. There were cheers, celebrations, and praises.

Turning to the sect's female disciples, their gazes heated up when they looked at Wang Xiaoqiang, including Hee Saixue and Zhao Wushuang, who now focused intensely on him.

When Wang Xiaoqiang jumped down from the platform, Ye Qingcheng rushed to hug him and, in full view of everyone, unabashedly kissed him on the face.

Suddenly, the cheering and celebrations halted, and the venue fell silent, clearly shocked by Ye Qingcheng's bold move.

Damn, Ye Qingcheng actually took the initiative to kiss Wang Xiaoqiang, and in front of everyone, no less. Isn't she embarrassed?

After a moment of bewilderment, the crowd burst into discussion again. Some male disciples even whistled flirtatiously.

Little did they know, a woman like Ye Qingcheng doesn't easily fall in love with someone. Once she does, she throws caution to the wind. Moreover, with Wang Xiaoqiang being so outstanding, she feared other women might snatch him away, with contenders like Hee Saixue and Zhao Wushuang. Her bold kiss was also a show of dominance to those women, clearly stating, hmph, Wang Xiaoqiang is my boyfriend, so don't compete with me.

On the main stage, several sect leaders and elders watched Ye Qingcheng's actions. The Sect Master of West Sect joked, "Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Qingcheng, quite the talented couple. If they were to be together, it would indeed be a wonderful tale. What do you think, Old Guo?"

As the Sect Master of West Sect spoke, his gaze turned toward South Gate Sect Master Guo Shoujing.

Before Guo Shoujing could reply, True Person of Taiyi said, "Indeed, the two kids Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Qingcheng are quite compatible. I also think they make a good pair. However, we old folks shouldn't worry about these matters... haha..."

The Taiyi Sect competition ultimately ended with Wang Xiaoqiang claiming the championship. But Wang Xiaoqiang won not just fame but also the hearts of many female disciples, not least of all, Ye Qingcheng, who had boldly kissed him.

Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly felt out of place, as in the following days, wherever he went, female disciples would come up to strike a conversation, and of course, some male disciples wanted to befriend him too.

As for Lin Jinghong's case, True Person of Taiyi administered severe punishment. All the disciples from the Lin Family were expelled from the sect, regardless of whether Lin Jinghong had colluded with Evil Cultivators, guaranteeing that Lin descendants would not again be admitted to Taiyi Sect.

South Gate Sect Master Hong Zhong received severe punishment from True Person of Taiyi.

After this grand competition, the top ten disciples would travel to Penglai Immortal Island to participate in an inter-sect competition in a month. So during this month, those among the top ten would heal, rest, and cultivate. Wang Xiaoqiang, having the most leisurely time, directly took Ye Qingcheng to travel to Lhasa.

They visited many places, famous mountains, and renowned sites. While moving around these places took considerable time and effort, the two were not ordinary people. With Sword Control as swift as electricity, they had the freedom of birds. Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want Ye Qingcheng to use her Spiritual Power excessively. Instead, he used Spiritual Springs to form a Flying Boat, and their journey on this flying boat felt as exhilarating as riding a spaceship.

"Qingcheng, you are truly beautiful,"

That day, after Ye Qingcheng bathed in the creek, she casually draped a white garment over herself. With her slender jade fingers running through her wet hair, she slightly tilted her delicate, rosy neck,

"Hmph, of course, this lady can charm a city with a smile, and with another, charm a nation..." In response to Wang Xiaoqiang's compliment, Ye Qingcheng wasn't shy in the least. She raised her rosy neck proudly, her tone lofty as though she were a proud princess.
