Someone actually dared to challenge a disciple of the Dao Sect, and in an instant, Fang Yan was the center of everyoneâs attention. It could be said that even the disciples currently competing for the platform were glancing his way.
Of course, no one had high hopes for Fang Yan.
Seeing Fang Yan truly stepping onto the platform, the disciple of the Dao Sect flew into rage, his hands bursting forth with a brilliant light without any hesitation.
One Slash Cleaves the Mountains and Rivers!
Perhaps to intimidate others, the disciple of the Dao Sect used his signature move as soon as he made his move.
It was as if the entire platform was trembling, and with the discipleâs attack, a terrifying blade qi actually congealed above the platform before suddenly smashing down towards Fang Yan.
At that moment, many people felt certain that Fang Yan was doomed to lose, daring to challenge a disciple of the Dao Sectâmany thought Fang Yan was a fool.
But Ye Luo furrowed his brows slightly.
"This guy, he actually made another breakthrough? It seems like this disciple of the Dao Sect is going to be unlucky!"
Ye Luo watched Fang Yan in silence, murmuring softly.
Just as Ye Luoâs voice faded, an incredibly cold presence suddenly burst forth from Fang Yanâs entire body.
Terrifying, bloodthirsty, brutal!
At the same time, three sinister hounds suddenly materialized beside Fang Yan, casually dispelling the blade qi with a swat.
In a movement, Fang Yan was already at the discipleâs side.
Before the disciple could even react, Fang Yanâs Sin Hound had already pierced into the body of the disciple.
In that moment, Ye Luo saw clearly that all the essence blood of the disciple was absorbed by the Sin Hound in an instant.
Instantly killing the disciple of the Dao Sect!
Such an outcome was beyond everyoneâs expectations.
Observing from a distance, the members of the Dao Sect were filled with immense anger, yet due to the rules, they were unable to do anything.
Fang Yan leaped onto that platform, simply sitting down cross-legged as if it was the most natural thing.
Yet no one dared to challenge him.
Who would dare to after he instantly killed a disciple of the Dao Sect?
However, at that moment, Fang Yanâs eyes, filled with cold indifference and brutality, were firmly fixed on Ye Luo.
Clearly, his most desired challenge was against Ye Luo.
Ye Luo glanced at Fang Yan, paying him no mind.
"This guyâs pace of breakthrough is quite fast. Coupled with his sinister weapon, his combat power is indeed fierce, but unfortunately, wanting to challenge me is simply not enough."
Shortly after, the second batch of twenty-five people was selected, and without a doubt, Fang Yan was the biggest dark horse among them.
One batch after another, in a short span of time, the area around the platforms was incredibly damaged, bloodstained throughout. However, the twenty-five platforms were undamaged, evidently constructed of special material.
Soon, it was the turn of the seventh group to enter the fray.
Leng Ruobing headed toward the front, and Ye Luo noticed his brows were tightly furrowed.
Coming up beside Leng Ruobing, Ye Luo patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Nervous?"
"No, not at all. Iâm not nervous."
Leng Ruobing quickly replied.
Regrettably, his tone still betrayed his nervousness.
"You donât need to be nervous. Youâll definitely secure a position as a platform champion."
Ye Luo smiled faintly, offering encouragement to Leng Ruobing.
Leng Ruobing didnât respond and continued to walk forward.
By this time, even Ye Luo couldnât possibly make Leng Ruobing relax in such a short span of time.
But Ye Luo took a glance at the seventh pair of competitors and stopped paying attention.
It had to be said that Leng Ruobing lucked out, as there werenât many strong fighters among the seventh pair.
Leng Ruobing moved quickly, leaping onto a platform, but at the same time, someone had already launched an attack towards her.
Swoosh!
Without hesitation, Leng Ruobing casually waved her hand and, with the boost of the Ice Silkworm gloves, immediately conjured countless chills to form a continuous ice wall!
Ye Luo was slightly stunned, he hadnât expected that Leng Ruobing would execute such a move!
Leng Ruobing was simply using the rules of the platform battle, disregarding the opponentâs strength because, after all, the time limit for a platform battle was only the duration of an incense stick.
And now, Leng Ruobing had sealed off the entire platform with that continuous ice wall, while she herself stood at the center of it.
If others wanted to come up, they had to break through the ice wall first.
Using defense as offense!
This turned out to be a very good countermeasure.
Before stepping onto the platform, Ye Luo had noticed that Leng Ruobing was somewhat nervous, and now, all she needed to do was maintain her ice wall, then enduring the time of an incense stick naturally meant securing a spot.
Not having to directly engage in combat also greatly minimized the negative effects due to her mindset not being properly adjusted.
Of course, this approach had its drawback.
That was, Leng Ruobing had to face the attacks of several people at once.
At this moment, seeing Leng Ruobing sealing off the entire platform with the ice wall like a turtle shell, those around her naturally went all out in their barrage.
The ice wall kept weakening, but because Leng Ruobing was relentlessly maintaining it, it was still dangerous, although it didnât pose too great of a threat.
Finally, some of the stronger individuals had no choice but to give up on targeting Leng Ruobing; after all, time waits for no one. With these powerhouses withdrawing, the pressure on Leng Ruobing undoubtedly lessened significantly.
In the end, Leng Ruobing actually secured a spot as a platform champion using this defensive strategy.
After Leng Ruobing stepped down from the platform, her complexion appeared somewhat pale.
Ye Luo handed her an Elixir, which Leng Ruobing didnât hesitate to swallow in one gulp.
"Ruo Bing, I didnât see that coming, you actually had this move up your sleeve."
Ye Luoâs face bore a smile, after all, Leng Ruobing had always appeared very dominant, and to think that today she chose to only defend and not attack, seemed somewhat unlike her style.
Leng Ruobing remained expressionless but still replied, "I didnât want to disappoint everyone..."
Ye Luo was momentarily startled but then shook his head, this girl, sheâs really created a burden to bear for herself.
Without another word, Ye Luo embraced Leng Ruobing in his arms, and before she could react, he kissed her.
"Donât worry, Iâm here for you!"
Ye Luo said with a smile, a faint glint of gold flickering in his eyes.
"Holy crap, this guy is bold, flirting in the middle of a platform battle!"
"Who is this guy anyway, does he have to be so casual? This is a platform battle, for goodness sake, canât he tone it down?"
Witnessing Ye Luoâs actions, everyone around was dumbfounded. While everyone was warming up for the platform battle, there was Ye Luo, finding the time to flirt with a beauty, which undoubtedly left the crowd in shock.
Leng Ruobing was at first slightly taken aback, then her pale face instantly flushed with color, as she stomped on Ye Luoâs toe and turned to run in the other direction.
Ye Luo blinked, "Come on, I was just trying to help you relieve some pressure; how come you donât appreciate it?"
