The two could be considered the most eye-catching warriors at the Qing Jiao Competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue was new to this, but her abilities were impressive. She was even able to defeat people above her cultivation stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heng Jingchuo had developed stably and improved by leaps and bounds! He was a force to be reckoned with!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was curious about who would get the last laugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under a countless number of watchful eyes, Chu Liuyue got up and nodded with a smile. “Please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect it to be a duel between the two of us.” Heng Jingchuo shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue curled her lips into a half-smile. “You should have expected it, no?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heng Jingchuo’s smile froze, but he soon returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ms. Chu is so humorous. We’re all participating in the Qing Jiao Competition, so who doesn’t want to win? But I didn’t expect you to enter the finals, nor did I expect my final opponent to be you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue could not be bothered with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heng Jingchuo clearly came prepared. He had intentionally hidden his strength, only revealing his true abilities when he fought Rong Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was almost certain that Heng Jingchuo had other tricks up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Less talking; let’s begin!” As Chu Liuyue spoke, she brought out the black Xuan formation crystal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Heng Jingchuo’s eyes jumped a little. This tactic of Chu Liuyue’s is a little hard to deal with…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it bad that Little Liuyue is using her ultimate move right at the beginning?” Bai Chen asked a little worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Zhongyan laughed. “What else can she do? After all, Heng Jingchuo is an advanced stage-four warrior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength difference between the two was huge. If Chu Liuyue did not put her best foot forward right from the start, this battle was bound to end quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, she wouldn’t even have the chance to use that move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But she used up so much energy earlier. She definitely hasn’t recovered by now. This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already outstanding for her to win against Situ Ziyue. Even if she loses this match, she’s second place. Besides, she’s not a warrior at the academy. There won’t be any regrets as long as she puts in her best effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chen thought about it and did not say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buddha Lotus Formation!” Following Chu Liuyue’s cries, the first layer of petals bloomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second layer quickly bloomed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Lotus had fully bloomed once again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An oppressive force spread across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling up the formation twice in a row practically drained Chu Liuyue of all her energy. But the power of a fourth-level Xuan formation was enough to fend off an advanced stage-four warrior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as her single move was decisive and left Heng Jingchuo no room to fight back, she could win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Heng Jingchuo watched the Buddha Lotus bloom, he became even more somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cupped his hands—which were behind his back—and force began to gather quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white sphere gradually appeared in his palm! The sphere looked like it was burning bright, but it was cold to its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White fog formed around the sphere and covered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Heng Jingchuo’s hands were covered in a thick layer of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were both mustering their energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Heng Jingchuo struck first and flung the ball in his hand out! “Moon Devour!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere quickly flew toward Chu Liuyue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue circulated the force in her body. “Close up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant petals shook gently and closed up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Heng Jingchuo’s sphere gradually slowed down as it entered the Buddha Lotus Formation. It was then covered by the petals—just like what happened in Chu Liuyue’s battle with Situ Ziyue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the arena, only two intense forces were attacking one another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though everyone could not see what was happening, they could still feel the ripples coming from the petals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can Chu Liuyue still win… That Buddha Lotus Formation devoured Heng Jingchuo’s force again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think it’s that simple. Chu Liuyue battled one person earlier, and she doesn’t have much energy left. The Buddha Lotus Formation’s power will probably be weakened…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same for Heng Jingchuo! If the Buddha Lotus Formation cannot stop Heng Jingchuo, then Chu Liuyue is destined to fail!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue stared at the closed Buddha Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could clearly sense the force of ‘Moon Devour’ being broken down by the Buddha Lotus Formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it continued, after a while, Heng Jingchuo would…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a soft sound came from the Buddha Lotus Formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound could not be heard clearly by others, but Chu Liuyue was immediately wary of it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then saw a long cut on one of the petals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breaking sounds were because the flower petals had frosted over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue did not notice it earlier because it was in a small region and only on the inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frozen petals were brittle and could easily be broken with a little bit of force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue looked over and saw that the flower petals’ edges were tinted black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something is off! Warning bells rang in Chu Liuyue’s mind, and she grew uneasy! Without thinking, she backed away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her wrist and flung out the crystal barrier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transparent barrier enveloped her! Almost at the same time, countless gashes appeared on the giant lotus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Buddha Lotus broke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless rays of light started spreading everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An air of violence spread toward the surroundings, and the sphere reappeared before everyone’s eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked smaller than before, but it was still powerful! When the Buddha Lotus broke, the sphere headed straight for Chu Liuyue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He actually broke Chu Liuyue’s Buddha Lotus Formation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heng Jingchuo is bound to win now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The difference in cultivation stage is still hard to bridge in the end…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the situation in the arena, Cheng Han started smiling. “Jingchuo has really improved a lot! He can even break through fourth-level Xuan formations. Xingchen, even though your brother is hurt, Jingchuo is taking back the glory for our academy by taking first place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Xingchen nodded. She wondered if Heng Jingchuo could deal with Chu Liuyue the same way he did with Rong Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though killing was not permitted in the arena, serious injuries were allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Heng Jingchuo wanted to take first place, then… he had to use full force when dealing with Chu Liuyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, she finally felt better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that crystal barrier… Situ Xingcheng decided that she could always ask about it after everything was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue looked up at the sphere that was closing in on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong force hit the crystal barrier, and the barrier started shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Liuyue’s heart was in her mouth! Even if the crystal barrier could protect her, she would fail if she got eliminated like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She steeled herself and suddenly jumped out of the crystal barrier, intending to avoid the attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she saw a black liquid in the sphere! The cold air coming from it made one shiver uncontrollably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart skipped a beat! Heng Jingchuo actually…\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-03T04:59:04.347Z","2026-06-03T04:59:09.670Z",1,"novelbin.me","5934d2ab83527e2a4bfa2af59f260d6e3c3ac36ce1b51110a8eadfdb972d0c5b","the-emperor-wants-to-marry-the-doctor-chapter-228","the-emperor-wants-to-marry-the-doctor-chapter-226",2588,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-emperor-wants-to-marry-the-doctor-cover.jpg"]
