Chapter 840: The Undefeated Venerable

The Dragon Pool contest concluded, leaving many guests thoroughly satisfied; although it was merely a struggle among the younger generation, the power level, owing to the "Harmonized Qi," was comparable to that of a Marquis-sealing expert.

At the same time, they secretly marveled, for indeed, as a Li Li Tianwang-level faction, such young geniuses never ceased to emerge.

Originally, they believed the most dazzling clash of this Dragon Pool contest would be between Qin Yi and Li Li Qingfeng, after all, the two were the top geniuses of the younger generation from the two Li Li Tianwang-level factions.

Yet no one expected Li Luo to suddenly burst forth.

Moreover, besides that Li Luo, Li Jingtang from the Dragon Tooth Pulse also garnered some attention, since being able to block Li Li Qingfeng's full-force assault was enough to demonstrate his strength.

Although under the state of "Harmonized Qi," the gaps between everyone were greatly narrowed, regardless, a win was a win.

Amidst the bustling atmosphere, Qin Yi landed before the "Fire Lotus Camp"; she tilted her head slightly, her hair falling upon that exquisitely beautiful face like white jade, her crystal-clear nose bridge rising straight like distant mountains, making her features appear even more three-dimensional and exquisite.

Her red lips pressed lightly together, seemingly a bit disappointed due to this failure.

That incredibly moving appearance made many men feel heartache, and within the Fire Lotus Camp, some captains who were on good terms with her stepped out, thoughtfully offering words of comfort.

Qin Yi responded with a faint smile, composed her mind, and then her gaze swept over Li Luo, who appeared incomparably dazzling amidst the cheers of the Qingming Flag followers not far away; her lively eyes, clear as a deep lake, fluttered slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

Afterwards, she passed through the crowd and went to where Qin Qin Lian was.

She first bowed to Qin Qin Zhiming, saying, "Grandfather, Qin Yi failed, disappointing you."

Qin Qin Zhiming waved his hand with a chuckle, saying indifferently, "Your performance was already brilliant; do not mind this gain or loss, there will be many opportunities ahead."

The look in his eyes directed at Qin Yi carried a touch of doting.

Qin Yi nodded to accept the teaching, spoke two more words with Qin Qin Zhiming, and then walked towards the back to Qin Qin Lian, who sat before the table with a expressionless face.

Upon seeing Qin Yi, Qin Qin Lian let out a dissatisfied huff and said in an annoyed voice, "Losing to anyone else is fine, but why lose to that brat?"

Qin Yi helplessly said, "I did not hold back either; that Li Luo indeed possesses some capability."

"What capability could he have? He merely used 'Harmonized Qi' to narrow the true gap," Qin Qin Lian said coldly, clearly unable to tolerate any words praising Li Luo.

"You should have been decisive at that time; even if you had to abandon suppressing the others, you should have concentrated your strength to deal with Li Luo first."

Regarding Qin Qin Lian's interrogation, Qin Yi felt extremely helpless, after all, the decision to release the Shuidian to suppress the geniuses of the five Heavenly Dragon Pulses, revealing the capabilities of the Qin Li Tianwang lineage, came from Qin Qin Lian herself; she had already succeeded at that time, but no one expected Li Luo's final move to be so fierce beyond imagination, to the point that even her "Water Jade Flawless Body" could not block it.

Although Qin Yi was quite confident in her own strength, truly asking her to suppress so many geniuses of the five Heavenly Dragon Pulses with her own power would be underestimating the latter too much.

"Qin Qin Lian, do not be so harsh on Xiao Yi; she was able to trap Li Li Qingfeng and others in the Shuidian for so long, which already demonstrated her skill; all the guests present can see that if it were a full-force one-on-one duel, Li Luo would definitely not be Qin Yi's match."

"Actually, you were greedy this time; originally I only wanted Xiao Yi to seize the Golden Dragon Pillar, but you insisted she reveal her strength and contend with so many peer geniuses; do you really think people like Li Li Qingfeng are incompetent?" At this moment, Qin Qin Zhiming's voice slowly came.

Hearing Qin Qin Zhiming's words, Qin Qin Lian's expression shifted; although her personality was domineering, facing Qin Qin Zhiming, this direct elder, she dared not refute and could only sullenly agree.

Chu Qing, who had not spoken until now on the side, also smiled slightly and said, "Master, Junior Sister's performance was actually already perfect; moreover, Li Luo's lucky victory was only due to the 'Harmonized Qi' boost; if relying on his own power, let alone defeating Junior Sister, he probably wouldn't even rank high among the twenty Heavenly Dragon Flags."

Qin Qin Lian spat out a breath of depression and said, "How could I not know these things? I just cannot stand seeing that brat gain momentum; looking at his face reminds me of that woman, Tantai Lan!"

Qin Yi silently shook her head; over these years, she had heard countless verbal attacks from Qin Qin Lian against that Tantai Lan, so she was already immune.

"Mother, Li Luo will be in the Outer Shenzhou of Tianyuan for a long time in the future; there will always be many opportunities, so there is no need to fight over this gain or loss; moreover, today is after all the birthday of the Head of the Dragon Blood Pulse, and going too far would only make people unhappy," Qin Yi said softly.

Qin Qin Lian finally nodded, her voice low and coldly sharp: "Remember your words; next time there is an opportunity, I do not want to hear any accidents; I want you to completely crush Li Luo's spirit; I want everyone in the Outer Shenzhou of Tianyuan to know that the son of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan cannot compare to my daughter, Qin Qin Lian."

"The grudge between me and Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan is clear to all of you; Li Taixuan destroyed my engagement, causing me to lose face, and Tantai Lan killed my younger brother; these blood debts must eventually be repaid; you are my daughter, and some matters are unavoidable for you as well."

"Now that Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan are alive or dead is unknown; since Li Li Jingzhe said those words, I naturally will not lower myself to deal with a junior; when those two return in the future, I will settle the grudge with them myself."

Qin Yi lowered her eyes slightly and silently nodded.

Compared to Qin Yi receiving a lesson here, Li Luo was extremely joyful; the respectful gazes of the Qingming Flag followers made him feel slightly dizzy with pride.

Of course, what pleased him most was the harvest from this Dragon Pool.

Seven streams of Xuanhuang Dragon Qi, even after giving one to the Three-Tailed Sky Wolf, were enough for him to fill the huge gap in his three phases.

After this, he could finally fulfill his ambition, using over thirty thousand Earth Fiend Zhu Xuan Lights to assault the Fiend Body Realm.

Once he could step into the Fiend Body Realm, the true gap between him and top geniuses like Li Li Qingfeng and Lu Lu Qingmei would narrow significantly.

"Hehe, Third Brother, you truly amazed everyone this time; the harvest of seven streams of Xuanhuang Dragon Qi is extremely rare even in the history of Dragon Pool contests," a laughter came from behind Li Luo; he turned his head and saw Li Jingtang slipping over.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Big Brother, you are not bad either; your move this time truly shocked everyone."

Li Jingtang made a bitter face and said, "I would rather it hadn't happened; I am actually not that impressive, just thick-skinned and tough, able to withstand a bit more; compared to the other Flag Heads, I am still far behind."

Li Luo's mouth twitched; Big Brother, your defensive technique was truly not simple; if you had really made up your mind to endure it, even Li Li Qingfeng would have been dragged into immobility by you.

Although you might not be able to defeat the opponent, the opponent also cannot defeat you.

"Big Brother, do not belittle yourself; your defensive technique will likely cause headaches for many top geniuses in the Outer Shenzhou of Tianyuan in the future; perhaps, you will become the person they least want to meet."

Li Luo smiled, then rubbed his chin and said, "I feel that in the future, Big Brother you might win a nickname."

"What nickname?" Li Jingtang asked curiously.

"The Undefeated Venerable, Li Jingtang!" Li Luo said solemnly.

"."

Li Jingtang blinked, a harmless smile appearing on his slightly chubby face, and said, "It does sound quite good, but regarding combat, it is better not to fight if possible; I prefer to be kind to others."

"Oh? The Undefeated Venerable? That is quite spirited."

Just then, a voice, cold and emitting a chill, suddenly sounded from behind Li Jingtang.

Hearing this familiar voice, the smile on Li Jingtang's face instantly stiffened bit by bit.
