Shi Chun in the mirror closely inspected Chao Zhilin's injuries and was just about to lift the ban on Chao Zhilin's body when Xiang Laner suddenly spoke up to stop her, "Hold on."

Shi Chun looked up, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Laner: "Are you sure you really want to lift the ban on him and engage in combat with him?"

Shi Chun was puzzled, "When did it seem like I was joking?"

Xiang Laner was skeptical, "Are you truly unaware of the strength of the Su Yuan Sect, or are you just pretending not to know?"

Shi Chun was slightly taken aback, "Of course, I know. It's the number one sect in Shengshen Continent, how else should I know?"

Xiang Laner: "Then you still dare to release him so easily? Once he wakes up, he won't be careless enough to be captured again. I, the little sister who was humiliated, can no longer fool him."

Shi Chun: "That's why I first made sure to injure him before testing myself against him."

Xiang Laner couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her forehead, "Among the four major states of the Cultivation World, Shengshen Continent is one of them. How do I feel like you have some misunderstanding about the number one sect of Shengshen Continent? Behind sects like the Su Yuan Sect are ancient creatures that have lived for a thousand years. If you really cross hands with them, even our Three Sects' respective saints would need to be cautious in the face of their edge.

The Su Yuan Skill of the Su Yuan Sect is not to be underestimated. I've heard from my master that the 'Weapon Dissolution Art' and the 'Body-Fusion Sword' practiced by the disciples of the Su Yuan Sect are formidable. Just getting a glimpse of either is enough to dominate a region. The 'Weapon Dissolution Art' can kill people invisibly, and the 'Body-Fusion Sword' seals the throat with a single sword strike, very formidable.

I'll say it again, if we seriously fight him, I'm not sure I would be his match. Even if you've injured him, as long as he still has the strength to fight, you might not be his opponent. The disciples that the Su Yuan Sect sends out in public are very dangerous. Releasing him so easily is like joking with your own life."

Wu Jinliang patted his chest, "Chun Tian, let me try first. If I can't do it, then you can go on."

For this kind of courage that comes from ignorance, Xiang Laner wanted to spit in his face and simply scorned, "Get lost."

Wu Jinliang still wanted to say something, but Shi Chun gestured to stop him with a raise of her hand.

What Xiang Laner had said this time was very clear, very serious, and Shi Chun finally took it to heart, frowning.

It wasn't that he had underestimated Chao Zhilin before, but Xiang Laner had won too effortlessly in the fight, knocking him down in one encounter. How could he respect Chao Zhilin? He simply couldn't. To take a step back, naturally, he felt confident with Xiang Laner by his side.

But he still had some doubts, "Then last night, when we burrowed into the Su Yuan Sect's ambush, why weren't you afraid?"

This was one of the key points in his judgment.

Xiang Laner rolled her eyes coyly, impatiently said, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Gao, I was not afraid because you two weren't. I thought there was some arrangement behind you, and I wanted to see what kind of methods you had hidden. I never imagined that you would just charge in so recklessly.

Not to mention, we could have been easily flipped over by anyone, let alone flipped over by Yuanjian Palace. How dare you bump into the Su Yuan Sect's trap? How could you be so bold?"

The last sentence was directed at Wu Jinliang, filled with incredulity.

From the actions of the two, she had already repeatedly doubted Feng Chi's judgment. Did this seem like the Demon Path?

Just take the present situation, for instance. Could their ignorance about the Su Yuan Sect really be an act? If they were pretending this convincingly, where is the justice in the world?

What about the forces behind them? This was not some random mess they were allowed to create. They were totally unprepared and just blindly groping around. They truly had courage, and they truly were brave.

She wanted to sit back and observe, to secretly watch the details of the two, but she was forced to intervene because she couldn't stand by and watch anymore.

In broad daylight, with the Heavenly Mirror possibly discovering them at any moment, she had to act as a protector. How could she dare to reveal her Demon Skill so carelessly? What were these two blindly messing around with?

Wu Jinliang curled his lips, really wanting to say that they had already killed two of the Su Yuan Sect members.

Shi Chun, however, reflected for a moment, then reached out to touch Chao Zhilin's chest and, with a clean strike, hit him again.

This caused the unconscious Chao Zhilin to spew fresh blood from his mouth and nose once more.

This additional strike caused quite a varied reaction in the complex of the royal arena.

Most of the onlookers voiced their shock in unison.

Elder Ke's cheeks were taut, and he really wanted to ask what this scoundrel was trying to do. There's a limit to killing, but what does it mean to play around by beating up a disciple of the Su Yuan Sect like this?

Elder Yin Huixin was also showing a look of startled concern. The Su Yuan Sect was indeed different from the average sect in Shengshen Continent; it was a sect that had already developed a certain amount of power.

Feng Chi, cloaked in a cape, was observing Shi Chun's expression and reactions seriously. That strike was indeed without any psychological burden, truly valiant!

Elder Ji Qinghe of the Su Yuan Sect remained expressionless, his fingers under his sleeves subtly twisting.

In the best viewing spot, Domain Master Chi Rang of Xuan State, let out a cold, mocking snicker.

Life Continent Domain Master Wei Mo, who initially found the sight of the two Shi Chun's images irksome, was suddenly free of any irritation. Instead, he was stroking his beard thoughtfully, as he seemed confused about whether the situation was good or bad.

"This kid seemed to be mixed up with the people from the Su Yuan Sect before, right?"

"Yeah, I think so. How come he's now attacking the people from the Su Yuan Sect?"

Some Domain Masters who were curious but otherwise uninvolved chatted leisurely among themselves.

On another part of the viewing stand, Miao Dingyi muttered to himself, "Why is this guy torturing Su Yuan Sect disciples for no good reason?"

By implication, this meant a grudge was forming against the Su Yuan Sect.

Lan Qiaoyan, somewhat taken aback, also felt a headache watching. If this wasn't intentional torture, then what was it? It was clear to anyone that it was a deliberate act of cruelty.

Miao Dingyi suddenly realized that this session of watching through the Heavenly Mirror had gone on for unusually long and instinctively looked back at Young Master Nan.

Unbeknownst to him, Young Master Nan had already slipped over to his side.

Sensing his reaction, Young Master Nan telepathically responded, "Brother Miao, it really wasn't me who requested this."

Gong Shaoci, who had been standing nearby, had temporarily left. He knew the Miao family enjoyed watching, and fearing that an abrupt interruption might spoil their fun, he went to notify others. With his family background, acting willful in the Heavenly Mirror didn't pose any issues.

Of course, he also wanted the Miao family to recognize the respect he had shown them afterward.

The radiance of the Su Yuan Sect was so intense that no one noticed the two people lying at Wu Jinliang's feet. Elder Luo Feilie from Yuanjian Palace had a tight expression, also unaware whether the two disciples were alive or dead.

In the mirror, Shi Chun, after finishing his fight, checked Chao Zhilin's injuries and then decided to lift the restrictions on Chao Zhilin's body, touching him at several points in succession.

Xiang Laner, who was watching, grimaced in pain, unable to understand this guy's actions—knowing the danger, he still went ahead.

"Ptui..." Chao Zhilin, regaining consciousness, coughed up blood and quickly sat up, gasping for air, using magic to clear the bloody mucus that was blocking his breathing.

Shi Chun had already stood up and was backing away, retreating while looking, and spreading his arms to signal Xiang Laner and Wu Jinliang to also fall back. His eyes showed resolute determination; there were dangers he would avoid and others he would not retreat from, because some matters were critical, and he wouldn't easily give up, even at the risk of danger.

Wu Jinliang yanked two people by the hands, pulling Mao Zhong and Xun Lingyin back swiftly, as if dragging two corpses.

Having regained the ability to breathe smoothly, Chao Zhilin clutched his chest, realizing he was severely injured. Hearing the dragging noise, he turned his head to look and saw those few people, as well as Shi Chun, who had stopped his retreat.

Chao Zhilin quickly propped himself up and leapt to his feet, wobbled due to discomfort, blood still at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand pointing at them, and spitefully said, "You are men of the Demon Path!"

Shi Chun helplessly shook his head, thinking to himself that he couldn't understand how these Big Sect Disciples thought. Even at a time like this, they couldn't pretend to be oblivious. Now, even if he wanted to spare Chao Zhilin, Xiang Laner certainly wouldn't.

He turned his head to look at Xiang Laner. As expected, the woman's expression had suddenly turned stone-cold.

Turning back to Chao Zhilin, he smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Talk sense. I've made a deal with your Senior Sister Mulan Qingqing; I won't make it difficult for you. We'll fight one-on-one; if you win, you can leave, but if you lose, naturally, you won't be able to."

Chao Zhilin's eyes flickered. There was no need to bring his Senior Sister into this. Considering the current situation, he too had to fight desperately to escape.

He touched his chest again, inspecting his injuries with magic, and felt the hilt of his sword at his waist. Looking down, he saw his sword was still there and hadn't been taken away.

He then took a look around, seeing no one else except the few people there.

Steadying his mind, he glared at Shi Chun and said, "I remember now. Guan Wen once said that you two could really fight."

Shi Chun calmly replied, "It's decent, I suppose. Guan Wen was killed by me."

Upon hearing this, Chao Zhilin's cheek muscles twitched violently.

Xiang Laner, who was observing, was also surprised and looked back at Wu Jinliang with a questioning gaze before she saw that annoying, chuckling expression on the big oaf she liked least.

As if worried that Chao Zhilin wasn't angry enough, Shi Chun added, "Oh, by the way, Yan Ji also died by my blade. I wonder what you'll do."

Xiang Laner, who intended to turn her head once again to seek confirmation, heard another chuckle, so she refrained from turning her head again.

Those two sentences did indeed enrage Chao Zhilin, but his anger quickly faded, replaced by terror and suspicion.

Both his senior brothers had died at the hands of the opponent. Now, heavily injured and recalling how he was defeated at the hands of that woman the previous night, how could he not be frightened?

They had had the full ability to kill him while he was unconscious, yet they did not. Such confidence was formidable.

Though fearful, he had to risk everything for a chance to survive.

His single hand slowly lifted, two fingers extended in front of his chest, his gaze downcast, his breath and momentum concealed in an instant.

His once pristine white garment was now filthy and unkempt, but at this moment, the atmosphere of a Big Sect Disciple remained undiminished.

Xiang Laner and Wu Jinliang were highly alert, ready to intervene in an emergency, not willing to stand by idly.

Inside the royal training ground, the atmosphere became so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes were glued to the mirror, realizing that Shi Chun and Chao Zhilin were about to clash.

Regardless of what had happened before, the prospect of someone daring to fight a Su Yuan Sect disciple was highly anticipated.

Many people had only heard of their name but had never seen a Su Yuan Sect disciple in action. Today was a rare opportunity.

Su Yuan Sect Elder Ji Qinghe squinted slightly, closely observing every move of Chao Zhilin. At a glance, he knew that Chao Zhilin's first move would be lethal.

At this moment, Gong Shaoci was the only person moving in the training ground. Having greeted others, he returned to the side of the Miao family's stand. He expected to see Miao Yilan turning her head to smile and nod in acknowledgment, but Miao Yilan didn't seem to have heard any noise, her eyes fixed firmly on the light screen.

He then noticed that everyone in the training ground was doing the same, so he too turned his attention to the screen.
