Chapter 179: Li Qingqing is injured, the gaze that disgusts her

At the entrance and exit of the Tongtian Tower in Magic City, the figure of Li Qingqing appeared!

"Cough, cough."

Her clothes were torn in several places at this moment.

The moment she walked out, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough twice.

In her palm was a smear of fresh blood...

It was because she had sustained some injuries while clearing the tower.

"School Beauty Li, are you alright?"

"Classmate Li Qingqing, I'll contact a Healing Martial Artist for you right now!"

Wang Xiaopang and the others had been guarding outside the Tongtian Tower; they rushed up immediately and asked with concern after discovering Li Qingqing's condition.

"I'm fine, I was just accidentally hit by an attack from an Alien Race on the fifty-fourth floor. I've already taken a Pill, and the injuries will heal very soon..."

Li Qingqing shook her head.

"Did I make it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

Then, she asked.

Currently, the person ranked five hundredth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is Shangguan Yijian, who cleared the fifty-third floor of the Tongtian Tower.

She had originally found it strenuous when clearing the fifty-third floor and was already near her limit.

It was precisely to surpass Shangguan Yijian that she gritted her teeth and pushed through one more floor, doing so in a way that compressed her time as much as possible.

"No, no..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaopang's expression changed immediately.

"How can that be?"

"Shangguan Yijian just went to clear the tower again, and then he cleared the fifty-fourth floor one step ahead of you..."

"Moreover, moreover he hasn't come out yet, and many people are saying that this time he should be able to clear the fifty-fifth floor..."

Wang Xiaopang's expression was complex.

The expressions of Xiao Huohuo and the other were also not very good.

It wasn't because of the rumors spread by Shangguan Yijian.

Li Qingqing is only in the Fourth-grade Realm, yet she climbed to the fifty-something floor of the Tongtian Tower; this is already astonishingly talented.

During this period, quite a few people other than them have already noticed Li Qingqing!

"My Heaven, is this Li Qingqing the same Li Qingqing who took the top five in the Jiangnan Prefecture Ladder Tournament?"

"She actually challenged up to the fifty-something floor?!"

"Could she be able to make it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

They believed that if Li Qingqing stood up and announced the truth at this time, even if it couldn't completely stop all the criticism against Ye Bai, it could make many people shut up and cause Shangguan Yijian's plan to die in the cradle.

But don't forget that their true purpose for coming to the Tongtian Tower today was to obtain a high-grade Pill or Spirit Medicine capable of healing injuries for Ye Bai.

None of the three of them had obtained the desired reward from the Tongtian Tower.

The first thing Li Qingqing asked when she came out was about the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

This meant that Li Qingqing had received rewards five times in a row, yet she still hadn't obtained healing supplies suitable for Ye Bai!

"I'll go clear the tower again..."

Li Qingqing said again, her lips pursed, deciding to continue clearing the Tongtian Tower.

"School Beauty Li, don't!"

"Not to mention that Shangguan Yijian might clear the fifty-fifth floor."

"You were already very strained clearing the fifty-fourth floor; going in now will at most compress your clearing time, and it's very likely you'll get injured again! Ye Bai wouldn't agree to it if he knew!"

Wang Xiaopang hurriedly stopped Li Qingqing.

"We don't need to fight to the death with Shangguan Yijian. You go announce the truth about the Ladder Tournament now, and then we'll return to Magic City Martial Arts University. Once your strength has advanced further, we can come back!"

Hearing this, Li Qingqing finally suppressed the urgency to find suitable healing supplies for Ye Bai.

However.

Before Li Qingqing could even reach those people who remained outside the Tongtian Tower even late at night.

"Fifty-sixth floor!

Shangguan Yijian is on the fifty-sixth floor!"

"Awesome, didn't I say that since Shangguan Yijian rested for a whole day, he would definitely be able to do it?"

"Rank 450 to 499 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking all have the record of clearing the fifty-fifth floor; the only difference is the time taken to clear it. In a few more days, Shangguan Yijian might be able to enter the top 450 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

Exclamations suddenly erupted!

"Step, step." Then, a figure walked out from the tower.

The first thing he did upon coming out was to raise his hand to acknowledge the enthusiastic crowd not far away, then he scanned the current Hidden Dragon Ranking from afar.

Finally, his scarlet eyes landed directly on Li Qingqing and the others who hadn't left!

"Clap, clap!"

"Li Qingqing, truly worthy of being the heaven-gifted girl who took the top five in the Jiangnan Prefecture Ladder Tournament while in the Third Grade!"

"To think that you reached the fifty-fourth floor just after entering the Fourth Grade."

"You are stronger than that trash Ye Bai!"

Wang Xiaopang came to his senses upon hearing this and said angrily, "Just a loser defeated by Ye Bai, who do you think you are?"

"Don't think I don't know that you spread all the rumors, trying to build up momentum for yourself again, right?"

"Just wait, School Beauty Li will announce the truth about the Ladder Tournament in a moment! Let everyone know your true colors!"

Shangguan Yijian's greedy gaze swept back and forth only on Li Qingqing.

"It's useless. I've already arranged for people; the moment you walk over, Li Qingqing, someone will say that you are Ye Bai's girlfriend and that you are in cahoots with Ye Bai."

He didn't even look at Wang Xiaopang.

"Do you have no shame?!" Wang Xiaopang's face turned angry.

"Heh, what's the use of having shame?

Can having shame change the outcome of the Ladder Tournament? Can it help me take down such a Top Grade beauty?"

Li Qingqing had felt uncomfortable ever since she sensed Shangguan Yijian's gaze.

It wasn't the gaze of pure affection like Ye Bai's.

Nor was it the gaze of admiration like Ning Yuan's.

It was naked aggression and possession.

"Let's go!"

She also believed that Shangguan Yijian could shamelessly continue to spread rumors, so she was not prepared to expose Shangguan Yijian's true face right now.

Wang Xiaopang was right about one thing: she still had a lot of room for improvement, so there was no need to rush for the moment.

"Heh, are you thinking of going back to improve your strength and coming back to challenge the fifty-fifth floor in two days?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you are all thinking the same thing as me—you haven't obtained any healing items that can be used for Ye Bai, right? You must get on the Hidden Dragon Ranking to be able to heal Ye Bai?"

However, Shangguan Yijian let out another cold laugh at this moment.

"It's impossible. If you had challenged the fifty-fifth floor before me, there would still be a sliver of a chance.

Do you know why I only cleared the fifty-fifth floor and happened to be stuck at the five-hundredth place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking? Because the condition to clear the fifty-fifth floor is to defeat the Martial Artist who cleared this floor previously and took the longest time."

"And as luck would have it, before I cleared the fifty-sixth floor, to clear the fifty-fifth floor, one must defeat my Copy."

"And my strength is beyond your imagination!"

Wang Xiaopang didn't take what Shangguan Yijian said seriously, "Would you die if you didn't act so arrogant?"

"Defeating you, why not?" Li Qingqing was even less afraid of Shangguan Yijian.

"Just wait, there happens to be someone challenging the fifty-fifth floor right now; you can see his outcome." Shangguan Yijian gave an evil, charming smile!

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes passed.

"Thump!" A figure covered in blood suddenly rolled out from inside the Tongtian Tower!

"The fifty-fifth floor of the Tongtian Tower, something is wrong..."

"The one inside is Shangguan Yijian, his sword is so strong..."

Wang Xiaopang was the first to rush up, and after the other person saw Wang Xiaopang clearly, they said two sentences and then fainted dead away!

"It's, it's the first place of this year's Jianghe Prefecture Ladder Tournament, the King-level Prodigy Dongfang Yao..."

Xiao Huohuo recognized at this moment that the blood-stained figure was the freshman representative from the Magic City Martial Arts University freshman orientation ceremony!

The top-tier prodigy who was once hailed as the number one person of this year's Magic City Martial Arts University!

"How is that possible?!" The expressions of Wang Xiaopang and the others changed.

"Click, click!" Li Qingqing's delicate fists couldn't help but clench tightly!

"I said it, my strength is beyond your imagination!"

Shangguan Yijian spoke up again at this moment.

"Li Qingqing, you wouldn't want to see Ye Bai fail his Blood Changing and be unable to come to Magic City, would you?"

"Actually, I can let you get on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and I can even take the initiative to announce that during the Ladder Tournament, I was indeed inferior to Ye Bai!

Li Qingqing, I am really satisfied with you!

And right now, I'm very fired up!"

His gaze toward Li Qingqing became even more undisguised!

He had already imagined the scene of him conquering this Ice Mountain beauty before Ye Bai arrived!
