She still wanted to unleash one final strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this final blow couldn’t defeat Lu Xueqi, then her spiritual power would be fully depleted, leaving her with no strength to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as she had been darting around Lu Xueqi, Tian Ling’er suddenly came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression grave, she looked at Lu Xueqi and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Sister Lu, this is my final strike. If you can take it, I’ll concede.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi gave a slight nod, her gaze cool as she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Sister Tian, go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Ling’er nodded solemnly, then suddenly channeled all the remaining spiritual power within her into the Amber Vermilion Ribbon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infused with Tian Ling’er's immense spiritual power, the ribbon shone even more brightly, waves of crimson light undulating continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tian Ling’er formed a hand seal and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bind the God!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the Amber Vermilion Ribbon around her unfurled in layer upon layer, instantly veiling the sky above the dueling platform as it swept toward Lu Xueqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lu Xueqi remained calm, her expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as the crimson ribbons enveloped her completely and began constricting inward, there was no fluctuation in Lu Xueqi’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mere thought, a protective shield of light suddenly formed around her body, tightly enclosing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From outside, Tian Ling’er was momentarily overjoyed to see that her “Bind the God” technique had actually managed to trap Lu Xueqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried to further compress the space using the Amber Vermilion Ribbon, hoping to defeat Lu Xueqi swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the ribbon constricted to a certain point, she discovered, to her shock, that no matter how she chanted incantations or manipulated the treasure, the Amber Vermilion Ribbon could no longer advance by even an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tian Ling’er’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tian Ling’er was pondering how to resolve the problem, within the Amber Vermilion Ribbon, Lu Xueqi decided the time was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly unleashed her spiritual power. With a loud boom, a tremendous force erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the Amber Vermilion Ribbon was shattered and blown apart by a massive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi's figure reappeared on the dueling platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the force of the impact, Tian Ling’er’s body violently trembled. She staggered backward repeatedly until she finally came to a halt at the edge of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, her spiritual power was completely depleted. That immense force, channeled through the Amber Vermilion Ribbon, had sent her qi and blood surging, and even caused a faint stinging pain in her meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Ling’er stared fixedly at Lu Xueqi, a deeply complex look in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected that, in this life, she would still lose—and lose even more decisively than the last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her past life, after a prolonged struggle with Lu Xueqi, she had been defeated due to a lack of cultivation, but the nature of her defeat had been completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, at least she could exchange a few moves with Lu Xueqi. But in this life, Lu Xueqi had barely moved, while she attacked the entire time—yet she still lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the platform, Tian Ling’er’s expression flickered with shifting emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing the state of her body, she could only say with reluctant acceptance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I concede.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her voice rang out, a wave of commotion erupted from below the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the longest match Lu Xueqi had spent on the platform so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples in the audience had all witnessed Lu Xueqi’s graceful presence, and their eyes were filled with admiration and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tian Ling’er’s concession, the elder on the platform stood up and announced,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Match 147 of the quarterfinals, Xiaozhu Peak’s Lu Xueqi is victorious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that announcement, Lu Xueqi gave a slight nod to Tian Ling’er and then, with a flash of her figure, appeared behind Master Shuiyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Shuiyue nodded in satisfaction upon seeing Lu Xueqi return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Lu Xueqi had indeed shown due respect to Dazhu Peak. She hadn’t defeated Tian Ling’er instantly but had chosen to engage her in an extended exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, at the final moment, she hadn’t used excessive force—merely drained Tian Ling’er's spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tian Buyi and Su Ru looked a little displeased due to Tian Ling’er's loss…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood that the result was due to an overwhelming disparity in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also realized that Lu Xueqi had already shown them ample courtesy during the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, neither of them held any resentment toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Xueqi walked over, they both gave her a slight nod, expressing a faint trace of goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Xueqi left the platform, Tian Ling’er also walked back. Looking at Tian Buyi, she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, I’m sorry. I lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Buyi shook his head and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to worry, Ling’er. Winning and losing are common in battle. Since you lost this time, train hard after we return—and win next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Ling’er immediately nodded and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she began glancing around as though searching for someone…\u003C\u002Fp>",1290,"2026-06-09T04:29:26.886Z",1,"novelbin.me","eba9e2a805351240f03ac6b1404ecdc9b6d703f49e2c3593e7dc458590b16500","with-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--chapter-70","with-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--chapter-68",200,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwith-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--cover.jpg"]
