Chapter 24: Bai Xiruo and the Mysterious Girl

Number 9 Arena.

Boom!

The terrifying power of the explosion swept out like a storm.

The sturdy arena crumbled inch by inch as if it were tofu.

The violent power of the explosion rushed out of the arena, raging in all directions.

The spectators near the arena all changed color and fled in panic.

The terrifying power of the explosion raged for a full few minutes before slowly subsiding.

When all the dust settled.

The crowd then looked at Number 9 Arena with shock and suspicion.

Immediately, they discovered with shock that the tall, sturdy arena had actually turned into a ruin.

Above the ruins, a figure was suspended in mid-air.

Her dress fluttered, and she was shrouded in cold moonlight.

It was none other than Wang Yu Yao.

On the ground more than a hundred feet away from her.

A crimson armor had appeared on Ye Lingyun at some point, emitting waves of scorching heat; his slightly pale face wore an extremely gloomy expression.

Seeing this scene, bursts of exclamations erupted from the spectator stands.

"Hiss~ This Wang Yu Yao actually self-detonated two Magic Tools in one go; those were High-grade Magical Artifacts!"

"If I had a High-grade Magical Artifact, I would hug it even while sleeping; how could I bear to self-detonate it? This Wang Yu Yao is too wasteful."

"Speaking of which, isn't Ye Lingyun too strong? Two High-grade Magical Artifacts self-detonating didn't even cause him serious injury!"

"Another Talisman Treasure; this guy is really a wealthy spendthrift!"

Wang Jianqiang was among the crowd, his gaze fixed on the crimson armor on Ye Lingyun, his expression somewhat regretful.

This guy indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

His reaction was shockingly fast.

He had actually reacted the instant Wang Yu Yao detonated the Magic Tools.

Listening to the exclamations all around, Ye Lingyun's expression became increasingly ugly.

He stared fixedly at Wang Yu Yao.

He never expected that Wang Yu Yao would be willing to self-detonate High-grade Magical Artifacts, and to self-detonate two of them at once!

If he hadn't reacted fast enough and activated his Defensive Talisman Treasure in time, he would have been crippled if not dead.

A dignified top powerhouse of the Outer Sect had actually been schemed against by an unknown woman; how could he swallow this breath?

"Bitch, I'll kill you!"

His eyes turned crimson, and he transformed into a streak of light to kill Wang Yu Yao.

"Ye Lingyun, you have already lost."

Just at this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the spectator stands.

Ye Lingyun's figure stopped instantly, and he looked at Wang Jianqiang with a ferocious expression, "She was the one who conceded first; I have not lost."

"Conceded?"

Wang Jianqiang sneered, "Who heard her concede?"

"She already jumped off the arena; as long as one jumps off the arena, it counts as a concession."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang laughed, a touch of mockery crossing his face, "Didn't Senior Yun Zhongque just say it earlier? As long as the contestant has not touched the ground, it does not count as a concession."

"Wang Yu Yao did indeed jump out of the arena, but she hasn't touched the ground even now."

"And you, you have already touched the ground."

"Therefore... the one who lost is you."

Ye Lingyun's expression stalled, and he couldn't help but look at Yun Zhongque.

Yun Zhongque looked deeply at Wang Jianqiang.

Others might not know, but with his cultivation, how could he not have discovered Wang Jianqiang's previous voice transmission?

Wang Yu Yao was merely the executor; the true mastermind was actually this person!

To block his mouth and prevent him from favoring Ye Lingyun further, he actually used his own words against him.

In front of so many Outer Sect Disciples, if he continued to favor Ye Lingyun, wouldn't he be slapping his own face?

This Outer Sect Disciple has such deep schemes.

Not only did he scheme against Ye Lingyun, but even he himself had been schemed into it.

But all in all, although this Ye Lingyun had talent and strength, he was ultimately too green.

He shook his head and looked at Ye Lingyun, "Ye Lingyun, you have lost."

Hearing Yun Zhongque's announcement, Ye Lingyun's face turned pale, his heart filled with unwillingness.

He looked coldly at Wang Yu Yao, "Wang Yu Yao, is it? Consider yourself ruthless; we'll see."

Just as his voice fell, before Wang Yu Yao could speak, a faint voice followed, "Since you've already been eliminated, don't delay the progress of the competition."

Ye Lingyun's expression stalled; he looked at Wang Jianqiang, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

Then, with a cold snort, he transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

As the biggest favorite to win the championship of this grand competition, he had been tricked by an unknown woman and failed to even make it into the top ten.

He no longer had the face to stay any longer.

After Ye Lingyun left.

Wang Yu Yao looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang naturally understood her meaning and slowly shook his head.

Ye Lingyun had been eliminated, the greatest competitor for the championship had vanished, and it was the best time to vie for the championship.

But the championship was not so easy to seize.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over the remaining challengers without leaving a trace.

It paused for a moment on two of the figures.

These were two women.

One was dressed in a pale yellow long dress, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a slender figure.

One looked very young, with a petite stature, but her youthful face already displayed a beauty that could topple cities.

These two had never made a move since the start of the ring competition, yet they gave Wang Jianqiang an extremely dangerous feeling.

This level of danger even exceeded that of Ye Lingyun.

Even without self-destructing the Perfect Small Thousand Mountain Seal and the Perfect Cloud Water Cold Light Sword, Wang Yu Yao was definitely no match for these two, let alone now?

Wang Yu Yao did not know what Wang Jianqiang was thinking, but she trusted him unconditionally.

Seeing him shake his head, she immediately extinguished the thought of vying for the Number 1 Arena.

However, just because Wang Yu Yao could resist the temptation of the championship did not mean others could.

Some who were confident in their own strength began to compete one after another.

The progress of the competition clearly accelerated.

After a short half-hour.

Below the arenas, only two people remained who still possessed the qualification to challenge.

They were precisely the two women Wang Jianqiang had noticed earlier.

The woman in the pale yellow long dress looked at the petite young girl and took action first.

She leaped up, her posture graceful and elegant.

"It's Bai Xiruo!"

"She has finally taken the stage!"

"This is the head of the Outer Sect Three Beauties!"

Amidst the bursts of cheers, Bai Xiruo landed on the Number 1 Arena.

Then, the battle began.

With just a single strike, the Number 1 arena defender fell off the arena in a sorry state.

"So strong!"

Seeing this scene, the crowd gasped.

Bai Xiruo was hailed as the head of the three beauties mostly because of her appearance; her talent could only be considered above average.

She was simply incomparable to a heaven-gifted talent of Su Yutong's level.

All along, she had rarely made a move in front of others, so few people knew her specific strength.

In the previous rounds of the competition, she had not performed too outstandingly, and it was already quite surprising that she could enter the top fifty.

No one expected her true combat power to be so exaggerated!

Even Wang Jianqiang's heart could not help but jump.

How could there be any weaklings among those who dared to vie for the Number 1 Arena?

Although that arena defender could not compare to Ye Lingyun, they were no mediocre person and were also a renowned figure in this Outer Sect.

They had previously defeated several challengers in a row and had held their ground until now.

Their strength was even above that of Su Yutong.

Such strength was actually taken out in a second by a casual strike?

This strength was truly terrifying!

After Bai Xiruo, that petite young girl also moved.

She did not choose to challenge Bai Xiruo.

Instead, she ascended the Number 2 Arena.

It was likewise a light and effortless strike.

The Number 2 arena defender, who had held their ground for 6 rounds of challenges, spat out blood and conceded in horror.

Such an astonishing performance once again caused the crowd to exclaim.

From the voices all around, Wang Jianqiang unexpectedly learned that no one knew this petite young girl.

It was as if she had appeared out of thin air in the Outer Sect.

This made Wang Jianqiang feel somewhat surprised, and he focused his gaze over.

The next moment, the girl's Attribute Panel appeared in his mind.
