Chapter 1555: Sparring and Growth: The Newcomers

Su Xiao: "Suddenly it's quiet. Sigh, why didn't any strong ones join? Then we could all spar a bit."

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Want to spar? Easy. Come, I, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas of Lingshan, will spar with you."

Su Xiao: "No no, Monkey's gonna hit me!"

Sun Wukong: "If you can talk, then talk more!"

Hu Yifei: "If some stranger said that, Wukong's staff would already be on their head."

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Mistress, am I really that brutal? It's not worth death—I'd just beat someone senseless."

Su Xiao: "Taixuan brother, the monkey wants to bully me, waa waa waa…"

Xiao Mai: "That crying's fake. Cry again!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Stop teasing. Want to spar? Simple—there are so many Grand Luo Jinxian in the group, just pick someone at random and spar."

Su Xiao: "What if I run into someone I can't beat?"

Ye Hei: "You want to win every single spar? You might as well say you want a punching bag."

Xiong Ba: "Miss Su, how about we give it a try?"

Yue Buqun: "Long time no see, Boss Xiong actually wants to step onto the arena. After breaking through to Grand Luo Jinxian, are you feeling more confident?"

Xiong Ba: "I've always been confident. Sect Master Yue, you want to spar? Of course—get in line."

Su Xiao: "Great! Let's fight!"

【Ding, arena battle initiated…】

【Ding, Yue Buqun entered spectator mode.】

【Ding, Touma Kazusa entered spectator mode.】

【Ding, Yan Shuangying entered spectator mode.】

【…】

Vast cosmos, endless immortal lands.

Su Xiao wore modern attire, facing off against Xiong Ba, dressed in ancient robes.

Their styles and aura were utterly different, creating a striking novelty.

Especially for newcomers to the group, the sight before them filled them with awe.

Touma Kazusa's eyes widened: "Is this also a function of the chat group? This is too powerful—it's like stepping into another world all at once."

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "Just a simulation. Of course, you can treat it as a real world. Except that after each battle, everything is reclaimed. This world is no different from the real one."

Touma Kazusa looked at the newcomer—and just one glance made her heart race like a startled fawn.

The newcomer was too beautiful.

Even a fleeting glance, without even properly observing, made her feel this person was more beautiful than anyone in the world.

Du Dao Mianzi looked over, stunned for several seconds, then praised: "The chat group is truly incredible."

Yan Shuangying scanned the crowd, seeing their aura was refined, and from appearance alone, none looked evil—he relaxed slightly.

Just as he thought, a voice called out.

"Big Brother Yan!"

"Are you Zhang Ga?"

"It's me!"

"You've grown so big now—calling me 'big brother' isn't appropriate anymore."

"Big Brother Yan doesn't need to worry," Zhang Ga grinned. "We're fellow cultivators, after all."

Though he had cultivated for countless years, his true age was hundreds of thousands of years.

Yet Zhang Ga's personality remained unchanged—he still deeply admired those who fought for their nation.

Calling him "big brother" didn't feel like any sort of humiliation to him.

"Is this the arena?" Di Panpan also appeared in spectator mode.

Everyone turned.

Xiao Mai exclaimed: "Director Di, you said you weren't fat?"

Di Renjie sighed: "Where am I fat? This is just a normal build."

Compared to his portly portrayal in the TV series, the real Di Renjie was slightly taller and slimmer, making him look less fat.

Hu Yifei laughed: "Alright, let's watch the battle first, then talk about other things."

Hearing this, everyone turned to the two fighters.

At this moment, a massive seal hovered above Xiong Ba's head, radiating an overwhelming, weighty aura.

Clearly, he had refined his former divine technique, the Qilin Seal, into a top-tier immortal artifact.

Why he hadn't forged it into a spirit treasure was likely due to limitations in technique or materials.

Even a post-heaven spirit treasure was beyond the capability of an ordinary Grand Luo Jinxian to forge.

Meanwhile, Su Xiao held a sword, radiating primordial Dao energy.

It was clearly a primordial spirit treasure.

Though low in rank, it made Xiong Ba's teeth ache.

Damn!

Su Xiao's trying that "power crush" trick again, huh?

Having money really is a big deal!

Su Xiao smiled lightly: "A spirit treasure is still a form of combat power. If Boss Xiong doesn't want to spar, we can just switch opponents."

Xiong Ba snorted: "Do you think I'm afraid? Even if I lose, what's the harm?"

·· ···Seeking flowers··· ········

Activating the Qilin Seal, he fought it head-on.

The seal and the sword collided, erupting into a massive shockwave that shattered a vast world into pieces, turning the starry sky into ruins and wiping out the simulated living beings.

This gave the newcomers an enormous shock.

This is what immortals fighting looks like.

Even an entire world couldn't contain these people—they simply tore heaven and earth apart.

How terrifying!

Slash!

Su Xiao suddenly gave a soft cry, and endless sword-lights flew up, cleaving Xiong Ba in two.

Even his divine soul was plunged into darkness.

The next moment, Xiong Ba reappeared on the arena, a look of shock on his face.

It was different from what he had imagined.

Although Su Xiao's spirit treasure was a notch stronger than his, in the fight she didn't use the spirit treasure to overwhelm him. Instead, she met the enemy with all kinds of divine abilities—techniques so dazzling they truly left him unable to cope.

At this moment, he gained a clear understanding.

Su Xiao was no mere ornament, but a peer-level expert with a multitude of techniques.

Even without a primordial spirit treasure, he would still have lost.

Xiong Ba sighed, "I didn't expect it—I've actually underestimated you!"

Su Xiao laughed lightly, "Everyone grows, after all. Does anyone else want to fight me?"

Her gaze swept sternly over the crowd.

Defeating Xiong Ba made Su Xiao overjoyed.

This victory, she relied on her own bitter cultivation—not on realm, not on using a spirit treasure to overwhelm others.

This feeling was simply too exhilarating.

Ye Hei let out a long howl, and the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron appeared above his head: "I'm coming!"
