Chapter 66

Even so, because she finally held back her strength, it also caused her to be hit by the reverse beast energy.

"Ugh!"

With her internal organs in turmoil, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her lips already stained with blood, and her face turned pale.

"How did he do it?" Lin Xiaoxiao's heart only trembled and froze.

She didn't have time to figure it out, because at this moment, Li Tianming directly entangled the neck of the Vajra Thunder Ape with his lightning fire chain.

Moreover, the Vajra Thunder Ape had already been injured by Lin Xiaoxiao, making this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Li Tianming's Heavenly Fire Soul Bind directly entangled the Vajra Thunder Ape to death!

Next, people saw a shocking scene!

That was: Li Tianming, with his small body, held the opponent with one hand, and with a sudden swing, slammed the Vajra Thunder Ape hard onto the ground!

"Get up for me!"

For a moment, the entire arena was shaking!

"Is it satisfying? I'll smash your head to pieces!"

In just three breaths, the Vajra Thunder Ape, which could only use its hands to tear the lightning fire chain, was thrown three times by Li Tianming!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each time, it was swung in the air and then slammed hard onto the ground.

This scene was too brutal, almost incomprehensible.

Roar!

The Vajra Thunder Ape was angry but couldn't make a sound, as its face had turned pale from being choked, almost to the point of suffocation.

This was actually Li Tianming's advantage in controlling the lightning fire chain as a weapon.

Compared to the Thunder Dragon War Halberd, the lightning fire chain was far more flexible, like a venomous snake.

When the neck was entangled, Li Tianming almost controlled the opponent's life.

However, he underestimated this Companion Beast.

When it was slammed to the ground by Li Tianming, a terrifying golden lightning erupted from its body!

The golden lightning traveled along the lightning fire chain, striking Li Tianming's body.

This was its Spirit Source Skill, 'Golden Arc'!

The power of the Golden Arc was extremely violent, so Li Tianming quickly released the lightning fire chain.

Otherwise, if the Golden Arc pierced through his body, he would have truly lost.

Releasing the lightning fire chain, he narrowly avoided the lethal power of the Golden Arc.

But upon closer inspection, this was actually the Vajra Thunder Ape's last stand.

Because, after using this Spirit Source Skill, it was on its last breath.

After all, it had already lost too much blood, and being slammed three times by Li Tianming, many of its bones were broken, and it had basically lost its fighting ability.

In this intense battle, the Vajra Thunder Ape could be said to have been directly eliminated!

Li Tianming used the Vajra Thunder Ape to block Lin Xiaoxiao's Heaven-Cleaving Three Halberds, while also letting Lin Xiaoxiao severely injure the Companion Beast, and at the same time, injuring himself. This was a very clever move!

The elimination of the Vajra Thunder Ape would certainly cause a sensation.

However, at this moment, an even more brutal battle was taking place in the air!

The battle between the Tri-Color Thunderbird and Little Yellow Chicken had reached a fever pitch.

The Tri-Color Thunderbird's Heaven-Cleaving Three Claws were equally powerful, matching Little Yellow Chicken's Nether Fire Ghost Claw.

Its speed was also quite good, and it could temporarily match Little Yellow Chicken.

However, when it used its Spirit Source Skill, 'Mixed Lightning Explosion,' to slash Little Yellow Chicken, it was met with Little Yellow Chicken's merciless laughter.

"Comparing skills with me?" Little Yellow Chicken sneered.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Little Yellow Chicken's small body opened its mouth and spewed out a blazing Phoenix of fire!

That was its skill, Nether Fire, which transformed into a flaming Phoenix and directly charged at the opponent!

Then, it penetrated the opponent's Mixed Lightning Explosion and directly collided with the Tri-Color Thunderbird.

"Burn you, you stupid bird!"

Next, the Tri-Color Thunderbird screamed, its body burning with raging flames, and it fell from the sky, rolling on the ground!

It was trying to roll to extinguish the flames, but it never expected that the Nether Fire was an eternal burning flame.

Without Little Yellow Chicken retracting it, it could only be burned to death!

Everything happened almost simultaneously.

Lin Xiaoxiao's one Companion Beast was severely injured, and the other was burning with flames, rolling on the ground in a pitiful state, and its feathers were likely to be burned off soon.

"Li Tianming!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, seeing this scene, had already turned pale.

Although she had recovered, she was already at the end of her strength.

She was a brave warrior in battle, making it hard for her to admit defeat!

So, at this moment, she still picked up the Thunder Dragon War Halberd and charged at Li Tianming and Little Yellow Chicken alone.

"You've lost, just admit defeat, don't let your Companion Beast suffer." Li Tianming said solemnly.

If the battle continued, the Tri-Color Thunderbird entangled by the Nether Fire would be burned to death.

This was Little Yellow Chicken's most terrifying means, almost unsolvable.

After all, Lin Xiaoxiao was not his enemy; he only needed victory today and didn't want her to pay any price.

The young girl's resilience was actually not easy.

Seeing the Tri-Color Thunderbird tormented by the Nether Fire, he thought of Jin Yu, so he had a slight pang of sympathy.

After all, three years ago, Lin Xiaoxiao was just a twelve-year-old child, and everything was unrelated to her.

"I won't lose to you! I absolutely won't lose to someone like you!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and the Thunder Dragon War Halberd charged again.

Snap!

Li Tianming's lightning fire chain was like a swift venomous snake.

"Naive, young, and inexperienced!"

He knew that Lin Xiaoxiao was now in a hysterical state of not admitting defeat, but she was already injured and had no fighting power left.

So, his lightning fire chain accurately hit and entangled the Thunder Dragon War Halberd, directly taking it away.

With a sudden swing, the Thunder Dragon War Halberd flew out of the arena and landed right in front of Mu Qingqing!

When it landed, the halberd still trembled, making a buzzing sound and shaking Mu Qingqing's long hair.

Losing the Thunder Dragon War Halberd, a crushing defeat had become a reality, and Lin Xiaoxiao's face was blank.

Looking back, the injuries of the two Companion Beasts made her tears well up.

"I admit defeat." Her voice was hoarse and weak, her eyes full of tears, and she looked at Li Tianming helplessly.

"Admitting defeat early would have been better. Firefly, spare her Companion Beast's life." Li Tianming said to Little Yellow Chicken.

"No problem, it won't die, just a few months of being a vulture." Little Yellow Chicken shrugged and retracted the Nether Fire.

At this moment, the beautiful Tri-Color Thunderbird was already charred black.

Even if it was cleaned, it would likely be bald, indeed becoming a vulture.

Thus, the most intense and exciting first disciple competition had indeed ended.

After all, one side had two severely injured Companion Beasts, and the person herself had personally admitted defeat, leaving no room for doubt.

However, this result, contrary to expectations, left many people speechless.

To the point that even now, with everything over, the entire Yanhuang Battlefield was silent.

There were too many blank stares, all focused on Li Tianming and the arrogant Little Yellow Chicken dancing joyfully beside him.

In the elegant room of the Thunder Venerable Mansion, Lin Tianjian, Li Yanfeng, Liu Qing, and others had ugly expressions.

In the elegant room of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce, Lady Xue Lan was so angry she wanted to vomit blood.

Throughout the Yanhuang Battlefield, people gritted their teeth in frustration but had to admit defeat!

"Unfortunately, no matter how much you refuse to admit it, you will have to accept it!"

Smooth, satisfying!

At this moment on the Yanhuang Battlefield, I am the only one supreme!!

"I don't hate Lin Xiaoxiao, but defeating her proves so much!"

"Mub Qingqing, Lady Xue Lan, and the geniuses and strong ones of Yan, have you seen clearly?"

This victory was very important to Li Tianming.

At least from now on, when people talk about him, they won't mention the laughingstock from three years ago.

Even if they mock him, they must mention his current identity as the first disciple.

The first disciple of the Yanhuang List, they are all future prominent figures!

This is very important to Li Tianming!

To wash away past humiliations, he needed to prove himself!

Now, he has undoubtedly proven himself to the entire Yan!

From today, his name will spread throughout Yan in a new way!

However, he is not arrogant, and he hasn't forgotten his hatred.

Because he is very clear that this is just the beginning.

There will be a day when the truth is revealed, a day when he avenges his past humiliations, and the world will see who the shameless one from three years ago really was!

With the first step, there will be a second step.

He looked around and saw too many conflicted eyes.

This was all very amusing because almost everyone didn't want him to become the first disciple, as he didn't deserve it.

Not only did he have a stain, but his age was also too old.

At his age, his peers, such as Chen Hao, Xing Que, Mu Qingqing, and Lin Xiaoting, had already entered higher realms.

His current strength at his age could only be considered mediocre.

Such a mediocre person could enter Tianfu and enjoy the resources and treatment of the first disciple.

This could only mean that the selection of the first disciple had loopholes in the rules.

But, rules are rules, and Li Tianming had won.

Even if many people were unwilling, felt it was a mismatch, and thought Lin Xiaoxiao was more suitable to be the first disciple, they couldn't change the facts!

They couldn't do anything about the current Li Tianming.

Because they had to admit that Li Tianming's return after three years, defeating Chen Yao and then overwhelming Lin Xiaoxiao, each battle was very exciting!

He had successfully changed the Yan people's perception of him with his performance!

Now, they could no longer mock Li Tianming with the events from three years ago, and this was the greatest significance of this battle!

Of course, for Li Tianming, there was an even more important meaning—

That was: his mother's happiness and joy.

He knew that his performance today would make Wei Jing proud, and she would likely be the happiest person on the Yanhuang Battlefield at this moment.

The happier she was, the more miserable Xue Lan's face would be. Thinking of Xue Lan's likely anger, Li Tianming felt even more satisfied.

Indeed, only by becoming a strong person can one truly enjoy life.

The most critical point was that Mu Qingqing, standing so close, had seen everything in the battle.

She had full confidence in Lin Xiaoxiao, seeing her and her brother as noble beings that Li Tianming could never touch in his life.

Now, the returned Li Tianming had defeated the incomparably beautiful Lin Xiaoxiao. Could she still look at him with a calm expression?

The answer was obviously no.

For a moment, Li Tianming saw that her expression was very ugly.

Even her long fingers had gripped her dress!

Her eyes were as fierce as they were three years ago, but at this moment, they carried disbelief and a hint of fear.

She wasn't afraid of Li Tianming's current strength but was worried that such a person, who knew the truth from three years ago, would bring her current happy life into a state of unease!

Seeing her expression at this moment, Li Tianming smiled and felt relieved.

He would only tell Mu Qingqing: "This is just the beginning, and we will play slowly."

Once, they had plucked Jin Yu's feathers one by one.

Now, Li Tianming would tear them apart, both physically and spiritually!

"Jin Yu, wait a little longer, just a bit more time, and I will let you rest in peace. I will let you drink their blood!"

At this moment, Li Tianming's heart was burning with fire.

Such a battle result was in line with the rules of the Yanhuang Academy, so the five hall masters had nothing to say.

Especially Phoenix Hall Master Wei Zikun, with the first disciple coming from the Phoenix Hall, this was also an honor.

"The result is clear for everyone to see. Perhaps everyone is surprised, but there is no suspense."

"So, on behalf of the Yanhuang Academy, I congratulate Li Tianming. You are the first disciple of this ranking battle, and you will directly enter Tianfu for cultivation, becoming a Tianfu disciple."

Wei Zikun announced it publicly, and the situation was settled.

This announcement also ended the dissatisfaction of many people.

The ranking battle still had some adjustments in detail.

However, with the first disciple already decided, the subsequent ranking battles had little to offer.

It could be said that the intense ranking battle had come to an end.

Lin Xiaoxiao was no longer focused on the defeat and disappointment. She quickly brought her two Companion Beasts into the Companion Space, where they needed treatment and rest to recover.

"Sister Qingqing."

She was dispirited, and the defeat on the battlefield was naturally hard to accept.

The sense of defeat she felt now was unprecedented, and she could only return to Mu Qingqing's side, needing comfort at this moment.

However, she noticed that Mu Qingqing's eyes, which used to be gentle, were now staring at Li Tianming.

"Xiaoxiao." Mu Qingqing only noticed her then, pulling Lin Xiaoxiao to her side and gently stroking her back, saying:

"Don't worry, with your brother and the Thunder Venerable Mansion, you will still enter Tianfu in no time."

"This battle doesn't affect your future cultivation, and this defeat is nothing. After all, he is much older than you, having practiced for five more years."

"I know, but I still don't want to lose to him..."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt useless, originally intending to help Mu Qingqing teach Li Tianming a lesson, but ended up being taught a lesson by him.

"Xiaoxiao, on the path of cultivation, you need to see your true opponents and not get entangled with such people."

"Even if he defeats you, he won't have the qualifications to be your opponent in the future. You should have greater aspirations." Mu Qingqing said earnestly.

But, did she really believe what she was saying?

Under her skirt, her fingers had already turned red from gripping.

Even she might not have noticed the bloodshot eyes she had!
