At this moment, Sun Yan was extremely excited.

  He felt the power of this fireball, quite formidable.

  Although it wasn't as strong as the sword technique Li Qinghai had previously unleashed, for a Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator like Li Qinghai, it definitely consumed about sixty to seventy percent of his spiritual energy.

  As long as he could block this fireball, with Li Qinghai only having two to three percent of his spiritual energy left, what could he use to fight him?

  Thinking of this, Sun Yan no longer hesitated.

  He pushed the Spirit Bone Shield in front of him forward.

  Boom!

  The fireball collided with the Spirit Bone Shield, producing a deafening explosion.

  At the same time, the Spirit Bone Shield emitted a strong light.

  The light refracted in all directions, and upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see several beams of light forming a formation pattern.

  The terrifying power of the fireball was completely blocked by this formation.

  However, the formation also reached its limit, and with a cracking sound, it shattered.

  The Spirit Bone Shield lost much of its luster at this moment, becoming dull and dim.

  Clearly, the formation within the Spirit Bone Shield was destroyed after being triggered.

  Using this Spirit Bone Shield again in the short term was impossible.

  But for Sun Yan, this was already enough!

  Sun Yan gestured with his hand, retrieving the Spirit Bone Shield back into his Storage Bag.

  Then he began to quickly form seals.

  The surrounding ground started to tremble.

  As he formed seals, he looked at the motionless Li Qinghai across from him, thinking Li Qinghai was scared stiff, and he was already confident of his victory.

  Usually not fond of talking, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this moment and spoke out directly.

  "Hahaha, Li Qinghai, you've been tricked."

  "I only used twenty percent of my spiritual energy to cast the Earth Rock Technique, and I easily lured out your Fireball Technique."

  "I guess your spiritual energy is now less than thirty percent, right?"

  "So, how will you defend against my next Earth Spike Technique!"

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  ...

  Hearing Sun Yan's words, the disciples below the stage were shocked.

  "Earth Spike Technique? It's actually a lower-grade Xuan-level spell, the Earth Spike Technique!"

  "Now Qinghai Dao Companion is in danger, after all, he's already consumed a lot of spiritual energy, how can he withstand this Earth Spike Technique."

  "Yes, who would have thought that Sun Yan would have such a powerful magical treasure, easily blocking Qinghai Dao Companion's Fireball Technique."

  ...

  On the high platform, Ye Feng also showed a slight smile.

  He glanced at Jian Jiu with the corner of his eye.

  If Jian Jiu didn't intervene, then Li Qinghai would undoubtedly die.

  In the crowd, Lu Beixue unconsciously clenched her small fists, looking nervous.

  Only Li Qinghai on the stage showed no worry, even looking a bit dazed.

  It seemed like he was indeed tricked...

  But also not completely...

  Because only Li Qinghai knew that he actually used only forty percent of his spiritual energy for the fireball earlier.

  Most of the spiritual energy in his body was infused into the Spiritual Sword.

  At the same time, Li Qinghai muttered to himself.

  Xuan-level spell, huh.

  It seems quite powerful.

  I wonder if this Sword Drawing Technique can block it.

  Since it's the last duel, I can't hold back.

  Thinking of this, Li Qinghai frantically infused all the spiritual energy in his body into the Spiritual Sword.

  As his spiritual energy was continuously consumed, Li Qinghai appeared significantly weaker.

  In Sun Yan's eyes, this only confirmed his judgment.

  At this moment, his spell was also completed.

  In front of him, forty to fifty earth spikes had condensed.

  Each earth spike was as thick as an arm, exuding a strong power.

  "Go!"

  Sun Yan shouted, pushing his palm forward.

  Immediately, all the earth spikes flew towards Li Qinghai.

  Li Qinghai felt a bit nervous.

  He recalled the Elder's evaluation of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique.

  So strong!

  He silently chanted a few words in his heart.

  Sword Drawing Technique, you are strong.

  Sword Drawing Technique, you are invincible.

  Sword Drawing Technique, these little earth spikes can't stop you!

  After chanting, Li Qinghai suddenly drew his sword!

  Buzz!

  A clear sword hum resounded, like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss!

  The fierce sword energy swept out!

  The unstoppable sword energy shattered everything in its path.

  One by one, the earth spikes broke apart, losing their power, and fell onto the arena with a thud.

  The arena, said to only be marked by Foundation Establishment cultivators, had a deep sword mark cut into it by the sword energy!

  Sun Yan trembled with fear.

  He was about to open his Storage Bag to retrieve the Spirit Bone Shield.

  But the speed of this sword was too fast, too fast.

  Before he could react, the sword energy had already reached him.

  Sun Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body was instantly torn in half.

  The sword energy, unstoppable and relentless, finally struck the protective barrier of the arena.

  Crack...

  The protective barrier shattered on the spot.

  All the disciples below the stage turned pale with fright.

  Fortunately, Jian Jiu intervened in time!

  With a flick of his finger, a sword energy shot out, instantly dispersing Li Qinghai's sword energy.

  Looking at the devastated arena, at the dismembered Sun Yan.

  Everyone present gasped in shock.

  The chill of that gasp made them feel cold all over!

  Strong!

  Too strong!

  Is this really something a mere Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator can do?

  Li Qinghai is truly monstrous!

  This isn't the aptitude of a mediocre Outer Sect disciple.

  If someone said he was a prodigy of the Azure Cloud Sect, they would believe it.

  Even a prodigy wouldn't be this fierce during the Qi Refining stage!

  Witnessing this scene, Ye Feng was both shocked and fearful.

  He felt a hint of pressure!

  If Li Qinghai continued to grow unchecked, the consequences would be unimaginable!

  This kind of heaven-defying talent, he only felt it from his cousin Ye Fan before!

  In the crowd, Wang Dafu was so excited that his blood surged, his face flushed.

  He never expected Li Qinghai to be this strong.

  He thought that just getting into the top ten and becoming an Inner Disciple would already bring him honor as a follower.

  Now he actually took the top spot!

  It's truly remarkable!

  Even the usually calm Lu Beixue had her eyes shimmering, her small mouth slightly open.

  Her stunning face showed surprise and joy!

  Golden Elixir Granny was equally surprised, but more so embarrassed...

  She guessed wrong again...

  This damn Li Qinghai had once again slapped her in the face.

  Among those present, the only one relatively calm was Jian Jiu.

  He knew beforehand that Li Qinghai had learned the Azure Cloud Sword Technique, so he wasn't shocked by Li Qinghai's powerful sword technique.

  He looked at Li Qinghai, nodding slightly, his eyes full of admiration.

  He knew that Li Qinghai's final sword technique was the Sword Drawing Technique!

  To master two Azure Cloud Sword Techniques so quickly.

  Jian Jiu was certain that Li Qinghai's achievements in swordsmanship would far surpass his in the future.

  With such talent, Jian Jiu had no reason not to take this disciple!

  So, while everyone was still in shock.

  Jian Jiu slowly stood up and spoke loudly.

  "Li Qinghai, from now on, you are the true disciple of the Nine Peaks!"

  ???

  !!!

  Everyone's hearts shook violently once again!
