Although Yuee Buhui was defeated, he would not be immediately eliminated. He still had a chance to compete for third place.

Next up was the duel between Fang Qiu and Su Li.

Under the gaze of countless spectators, Fang Qiu and Su Li stepped onto the Shuai Zi Stage. Su Li, despite being at the Sixth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage and a Body Refining Master at the Blood Condensation Realm, faced immense pressure from Fang Qiu's cultivation at the Ninth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage. However, she did not concede and decided to give her all.

Fang Qiu, on the other hand, did not underestimate her due to her lower cultivation. He politely cupped his hands towards Su Li and said, "Classmate Su, please."

Without hesitation, Su Li waved her hands. Spiritual Power surged, and three sword-shaped Divine Weapons condensed in each of her hands, which she then launched towards Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu, not making the mistake of underestimating his opponent, immediately waved his hands, condensing four spear-shaped Divine Weapons in each hand, and one more above his head…

Nine Divine Weapons surged forth to meet the opponent's sword-shaped Divine Weapons.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Six sword-shaped Divine Weapons clashed fiercely with six spear-shaped Divine Weapons, exploding, sending Force Power radiating in all directions.

The remaining three spear-shaped Divine Weapons shot towards Su Li. Although Su Li, as a Body Refining Master at the Blood Condensation Realm, could not withstand the Divine Weapons, she quickly dodged to avoid them.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu did not give her any respite. With a wave of his hand, the "rite" character from his body flew out. In just half a month, the Way of Etiquette had grown significantly, expanding from its original basin size to the size of a large vat, gleaming with golden light as it ominously rushed towards Su Li. Greatly shocked, Su Li waved her hand, releasing the "benevolence" character from her body. It was basin-sized and blocked in front of her.

The next moment…

The rite character collided with the benevolence character.

The Great Dao is invisible; the greatest sound is inaudible!

When the Way of Etiquette and the Way of Benevolence clashed, no sound was audible, but people could feel the immense energy eruption at the moment of impact, creating a suffocating pressure.

Then the rite character smashed the benevolence character apart, sending it flying backward.

The recoiling Su Li, her delicate body shuddering, spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off the stage.

With one move, the outcome was decided.

Decisive and efficient! Graceful and swift!

Fang Qiu was indeed formidable!

The audience erupted in applause, genuine cheers echoing through.

Su Li beckoned with her hand, reuniting the shattered "benevolence" character, which returned to her body. She wiped the blood from her mouth and sat cross-legged, regulating her Breathing Technique.

After quite some time, she opened her eyes, ready to face the decisive battle with Yuee Buhui. This battle would eliminate one person, with the victor becoming the third place winner of this championship.

This battle was a contest for third place, a struggle for honor. Whether or not one could earn a reputable title depended on this contest.

Quickly, Su Li and Yuee Buhui stepped onto the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone.

After the past battle, both were injured, with Su Li's injuries appearing more serious on the surface. However, it was likely that Yuee Buhui's injuries were indeed harsher, as he had used Essence Blood to consecrate his Sword Spirit during the battle. This took a significant toll on his physical body.

Their strengths were nearly equal, evenly matched, making this battle a potentially lengthy one, promising much to see.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang no longer felt like watching the match. Fang Qiu's battle with Su Li earlier revealed Fang Qiu's growth once more. In a mere half month, his Way of Etiquette had expanded considerably, which caught Wang Xiaoqiang by surprise. Currently, Fang Qiu's Qi Cultivation was five tiers higher than his, and the Power of Dao was also much stronger. Only in Body Cultivation was Wang Xiaoqiang stronger, but the contest was not solely about physical strength, and Fang Qiu was not the type to engage in a purely physical contest.

Therefore, he was 90% certain to lose in the upcoming battle for the championship.

However, he would not concede. If a weak girl like Su Li did not give up, how could a man like him? He decided to fight, though not likely to win, but at least to hold his ground for a while.

So now, he sat cross-legged on the ground, clearing his mind, eyes closed to rest. Restoring his energy in preparation for the battle for the championship.

It was uncertain how much time had passed when, to the sound of enthusiastic cheers, Wang Xiaoqiang opened his eyes to find that the contest for third place had ended. Su Li was defeated, and Yuee Buhui emerged victorious, becoming the third place winner of this tournament.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang did not watch their fight, he considered Su Li's defeat reasonable. Despite her high cultivation level, Su Li was too ordinary without any special Spell Technique, whereas Yuee Buhui's Sword Technique was incredibly powerful, astonishing. If not for using the Pisces Sword Technique for suppression earlier, he might not have defeated her.

With the determination of the third place winner, the battle for the championship quietly began.

This was also the last fight of this tournament.

This battle was highly anticipated.

This battle would push the championship to its climax…

Wang Xiaoqiang stood up from the ground and walked towards the stage.

Fang Qiu also walked towards the stage with a calm expression.

When the two stood on the Shuai Zi Stage, all eyes were on them, and everyone's feelings were extremely excited,

Firstly, Wang Xiaoqiang, the dark horse, had made it to the final battle. Although it was unlikely that he could knock Fang Qiu off the stage, his clash with the backbone of Yueyang Academy, Fang Qiu, filled everyone with anticipation.

Moreover, Fang Qiu had previously defeated opponents within three moves, never fully displaying his strength. This battle should reveal Fang Qiu's true abilities, promising to be exceptionally exciting.

"Senior Brother Fang, how shall we fight?" After a moment's standoff, Wang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and asked Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu smiled calmly back, "How do you want to fight?"

"How about we contest our Magic Treasures?"

"Solely contest Magic Treasures?"

"Yes."

"No contest!" Fang Qiu directly shook his head and refused.

As Fang Qiu refused, the spectators below burst into discussion:

"Fang Qiu is being overly cautious, isn't he? Aren't Magic Treasures also driven by Spiritual Power? Wang Xiaoqiang is only at the Fourth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, what's there to fear?"

"Better safe than sorry; Wang Xiaoqiang's Spell Technique is strange enough, who knows if he has an even stranger Magic Treasure."

"Hmph, Fang Qiu is just cowardly!"

...

Hearing these discussions, Fang Qiu frowned slightly. However, he did not change his mind because of it. Instead, he gestured to Wang Xiaoqiang, signaling that Wang could make his move.

Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing this, refrained from speaking further, took out the Heaven and Earth Whip, and with a wave, the whip shot out like a python towards Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu didn't expect that Wang Xiaoqiang would actually use a Magic Treasure. His gaze shifted, his Divine Sense swept over, locking onto the Heaven and Earth Whip. Instantly, Soldier Aura condensed in his hand as he reached for the oncoming tip of the whip.

"Hmm?" As soon as the whip tip was grabbed, he felt a prickling sensation in his hand. His expression changed, and he quickly released the whip tip.

Wang Xiaoqiang flicked the long whip, coiling the Heaven and Earth Whip around Fang Qiu,

With a flick of the whip, the Heaven and Earth Whip wrapped around Fang Qiu, hurling him off the stage.

The students watching below gasped, feeling that if Fang Qiu were thrown off the stage, he would lose too miserably.

However, Fang Qiu would not be defeated so easily. Although his body was hurled by the Heaven and Earth Whip, he soared high, preventing himself from hitting the ground, and simultaneously flew back towards the stage.

After tossing Fang Qiu aside, Wang Xiaoqiang put away the Heaven and Earth Whip and took out the Sun-Shooting Bow, drawing the bowstring while condensing a Soldier Aura Arrow. Lightning arced across the arrow, demonstrating overwhelming power.

The Soldier Aura Arrow surpassed the power of the Gang Qi Arrow, capable of slaying an Immortal Sage.

Wang Xiaoqiang aimed at Fang Qiu's body, took a deep breath, then released the bowstring. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote with recommendations and monthly votes at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
