Chapter 228: Both Consume the Spirit Transformation Pill

"Father, my match should be starting soon, may I return now?"

Jiang Xun said afterward.

The Tianyu Holy Emperor did not speak, cutting off the connection directly.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun walked back in the direction of the plaza.

When he returned, the Golden Core match had already ended, and Huang Hao and Ling Wutian were fighting on the stage.

Ling Wutian was using a long spear; it seemed he was a disciple of the Spear Dao.

As the saying goes, one inch longer is one inch stronger; Huang Hao, holding a long sword, was now being forced back repeatedly by Ling Wutian's spear, which was wreathed in lightning.

Compared to letting Ling Wutian win, and letting the Lingerie-Sect fall into the hands of the Lingyun Dynasty first, Jiang Xun naturally preferred to let Huang Hao win.

Who knew if the Lingerie-Sect would end up missing limbs or parts if it fell into the hands of the Lingyun Dynasty first.

Huang Hao was forced to the edge of the stage by Ling Wutian, his feet planted on the ground, his upper body leaning backward to dodge a spear thrust from Ling Wutian. Seeing he was about to fall off, he slapped his left hand downward, sending a gust of force outside the stage that pushed him back, rotating him behind Ling Wutian.

Afterward, he kicked Ling Wutian in the back, wanting to kick him off the stage.

Ling Wutian felt the pain in his back and hurriedly stuck his long spear into the edge of the stage to support his body, then quickly kicked toward Huang Hao, but Huang Hao had already back-flipped and landed far away.

Ling Wutian made a prompt decision, lifting the lightning-wreathed long spear and throwing it at Huang Hao, with an iron chain attached to the rear of the spear and tied to Ling Wutian's wrist.

The long spear was split by Huang Hao with a long sword wreathed in Wind Blade, and Ling Wutian immediately pulled the chain while running toward Huang Hao; Huang Hao also intended to land a full-force strike on Ling Wutian before the spear was retracted.

But Ling Wutian had no intention of attacking with the spear at all, directly using the chain to entangle Huang Hao's long sword, then slapped Huang Hao's chest with a palm, sending him flying out.

Huang Hao rolled ten meters away on the martial arts stage, while the long sword and long spear fell into Ling Wutian's hands almost simultaneously.

"Admit defeat," Ling Wutian said, looking at Huang Hao, who was lying on the ground.

There really was a gap between disciples of noble families and disciples of the dynasty.

"I won't." Huang Hao carefully glanced at He Muyun off the stage; seeing He Muyun's dark face, he knew that if he admitted defeat, he would certainly not have a good end, so now he could only fight to the death.

"Stubborn and foolish," Ling Wutian laughed contemptuously, then threw the long sword; the sword landed directly in front of Huang Hao and pierced into the ground: "Then come again."

Huang Hao climbed up from the ground, then stood up gripping the hilt of the sword, and directly took out a Spirit Transformation Pill and swallowed it.

Seeing this, Ling Wutian was also stunned, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, thinking to himself: 'He wants to use the Heavenly Tribulation to force me off the stage.'

Once the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, there were only two outcomes: either Huang Hao would chase him until he was driven off the stage to win, or Huang Hao and Ling Wutian would perish together, and no one would get to win.

This was entirely a political act.

A noble family disciple using the Heavenly Tribulation on stage to strike dead a prince of the Lingyun Dynasty, weakening the Lingyun Dynasty's fortune and morale, making the Lingyun Dynasty suffer, yet they couldn't find an excuse to cause trouble.

Jiang Xun only then realized that, despite He Muyun and Ling Shangtian appearing amicable on the surface, in reality, how could the He Yu Dynasty not want to replace the Lingyun Dynasty as the number one dynasty of Dongming?

He Muyun's goal for this match was not just to stop people from the Lingyun Dynasty from taking the top spot to meet the Island Master, but even more so to kill people from the Lingyun Dynasty.

These dynasty people were truly too complicated.

"It's really not worth it for a piece of trash like you." Seeing the dark clouds beginning to gather in the sky, Ling Wutian gritted his teeth and then also took out a Spirit Transformation Pill and swallowed it.

He originally did not want to break through under these circumstances, but he had no choice.

"Lost." Seeing this, He Muyun sighed and said in a low voice.

"Brother He, in this situation, how can I help Huang Hao?" Jiang Xun asked via voice transmission.

He Muyun was stunned for a moment, then returned to calm after hearing it was Jiang Xun's voice, responding: "Once on stage, no one can intervene; there is no way to help."

"But you can make that stick of incense burn faster," Si Yuyan said, looking at the incense at the edge of the stage that had already burned halfway.

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Jiang Xun, and he quietly took out the Panlong Golden Feather Fan from his sleeve: "Sister Yuhuan, please help? Go far away and fan the wind to burn that incense as fast as possible."

After hearing this, Sikong Yuhuan directly controlled the Panlong Golden Feather Fan to pass through Jiang Xun's sleeve and reach the bottom of his clothes, and while everyone's gaze was attracted by the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky, she began to fly rapidly close to the ground, leaving the crowd.

Boom!

A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the first Heavenly Tribulation began to descend, striking directly onto Huang Hao's body.

Not three seconds later, another Heavenly Tribulation landed on Ling Wutian's body, and the two began to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation together.

Now, neither of their Heavenly Tribulations could do anything to the other; they could only wait to finish the Heavenly Tribulation together and see who was still capable of fighting.

Boom!

Two more Heavenly Tribulations descended, and at the same time, a strong wind arrived from afar, causing the incense on one side of the stage to accelerate its burning.

Several Dao Masters noticed this wind and also furrowed their brows.

They sensed that someone was playing tricks.

But truthfully... causing trouble outside the stage had nothing to do with what was inside, and they hadn't attacked the contestants, nor had they helped any contestant; the rules really didn't say one couldn't stir up wind outside.

The most important point was that this wind accelerated the burning of the incense; if it continued like this, the incense would be finished before the two finished their Heavenly Tribulation, and the Island Master would still have one request left, which was also a good thing for them.

After discussing via voice transmission, several people decided to ignore it.

He Luyun, however, looked at Tian Zeyan suspiciously.

In the entire Tianwai Island, the only one bold enough to play tricks during the Top Ranking Challenge was probably that kid...

Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking he had done it flawlessly.

This kid is really...

However, thinking about it again, could it be that he saw Huang Hao was about to lose, and didn't want to marry someone from the Lingyun Dynasty, but wanted to marry her, so he played these tricks?

Thinking of this, He Luyun felt much more comfortable.

But with this guy's arrogant, domineering, and trouble-making personality, if she really married him in the future... there would probably be no shortage of troublesome things, right?

Where did my thoughts go? That's thinking too far ahead!

Realizing what she was thinking, He Luyun hurriedly lowered her head.

As the fifth Heavenly Tribulation descended, the timing incense burned out.

Sikong Yuhuan also returned to Jiang Xun's hand.

Huang Hao and Ling Wutian, who discovered this situation, also had looks of regret, but at this moment they could only focus on the tribulation.

The eighth Heavenly Tribulation descended, and Huang Hao, whose foundation was unstable, was directly struck until his soul scattered.

The ninth Heavenly Tribulation descended; Ling Wutian successfully transcended the tribulation, breaking through to the Transformation Spirit Initial Stage.

"Before Huang Hao died, the incense had already burned out; this match is a draw, the contestants shall step down."

Dao Master Bing looked at Ling Wutian and said.

Ling Wutian cupped his hands and bowed, then left the competition stage.

As for Huang Hao's corpse, it was collected by a Spirit Transformation Great Perfection protector from the Huang family who stepped forward.

"Contestants of the Transformation God Realm, take the stage." Dao Master Bing then looked toward Jiang Xun and Ling Shangtian.

The two exchanged a glance, then leaped onto the competition stage, which had been pitted and scarred by the Heavenly Tribulation.
