Unsurprisingly, Lu Li was the first to reach the rank of 10,000. He was teleported out as well.
When he came out, Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling almost cried tears of joy.
"What?"
Lu Li suddenly noticed something. He was teleported out when he reached the rank of 10,000. Blood Fairy was still in the Mount of Empress.
Blood Fairy was not an average pet. She was very important to Lu Li. She was a master of Divine Runes.
"Feng Wuding, congratulations!"
Patriarch of the Holy Lady Sect said. Lu Li had to put it aside for now and talk to Shadow Queen later.
The Mount of Empress was a world of its own. Lu Li had lost his spiritual connection with Blood Fairy.
All eyes were on him. Lu Li looked around. He noticed that Dong Yeying was sitting on the grandstand to tend to his wounds.
Lu Li thought to himself that Dong Yeying was not sent away. Did he not see through Lu Li's identity?
Or did he not report him?
Anyhow, at least for now, nothing was out of the ordinary. Lu Li pretended to look at the 35 beauties. He paused on Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling for the time for one breath and made eye contact with the two.
The moment he made eye contact with Lu Ling, his heart trembled. He saw familiar emotions in Lu Ling's eyes. He did not notice it that night. But now, he saw it clearly.
"Sister ~"
The familiar Lu Ling was back. His sister was back. Lu Ling had broken through the memory seal.
From Lu Li's eyes, he saw the affection, pride and excitement that he was familiar with. At this moment, Lu Li was filled with heroic spirit.
He would raise his saber if anyone dared to stop him from taking Lu Ling away. He was not afraid even of the Chief of the Holy Lady Sect.
He did not dare to look into Lu Ling's eyes for too long. He forced himself to look away and looked into Xiang Linglong's eyes.
Lu Li's heart trembled again. In Xiang Linglong's eyes, he saw the passion, the unreserved flame of love.
How could a girl as cold as an iceberg show such strong emotions?
The softest part of his heart had been touched.
Lu Li made up his mind that he would take them away even at the cost of his own life. He would not let them suffer any more.
He did not dare to look at them any longer. He went back to the tower alone. The top 10 young masters were still there, congratulating him.
Lu Li returned the salute and sat down with his legs crossed to recover his energy and strength, waiting for the final fight.
There were no surprises after that. Wen Xiang took second place and Hua Tian Dao took third place.
After Hua Tiandao climbed up the ten thousand stone steps, Tu Ying was also teleported out. The Empress Peak rapidly shrunk and flew back into Shadow Empress' hand.
"This …"
Lu Li opened his eyes. Blood Fairy was still in the Mount Empress.
When he saw that the Empress Peak had shrunk, he quickly tried to summon Blood Fairy through their mental connection. He did not expect that there would be a faint mental connection.
"Master, I'll come out later!"
However, Blood Fairy did not want to come out. Instead, she sent a voice transmission: "The divine patterns on this Empress Peak are very mysterious. I want to study them for a while. Then, I will sneak out to look for you …"
Lu Li wanted to ask Blood Fairy to come out immediately. However, the match was over. If Blood Fairy came out in public, it would be seen as cheating. Therefore, Lu Li refrained from doing so.
Shadow Empress looked at the Mount Empress and smiled. She did not put it away. Instead, she put it on the table next to her.
The patriarch of the Holy Lady Sect shouted, "Take a break for two hours. Wen Xiang and Hua Tian Dao will fight. The winner will fight Feng Wuding in half a day to compete for the first place."
Half a day …
Many people curled their lips. The rules were unfair. Lu Li had the upper hand.
The fight would be intense. Hua Tian Dao and Wen Xiang were well-matched. Last time, both of them were wounded. This time, it would be the same. Lu Li had the upper hand.
Lu Li was delighted. Xiang Linglong was overjoyed. The first place seemed to be in the bag.
This time, there was an unspoken rule in the Hua Yang Seminar. The winner could choose three beauties to marry.
Though it was not an explicit rule, the Holy Lady Sect had spread the word. Everyone knew. Naturally, the Holy Lady Sect would not go back on their word.
This time, Hua Tian Dao and Hua Tian Dao had lost all hope and were ready to choose Dong Ye Ying. Unexpectedly, Lu Li surprised them again. Once again, he saved them from despair.
Ever since she was a little girl, she had longed to marry a hero who could hold up the sky for her. Finally, the hero had come …
Soon, two hours passed. Wen Xiang and Hua Tian Dao's wounds were not fully recovered yet. They had no choice but to go back to the arena.
Lu Li didn't watch. He continued to cultivate source energy and build up his strength.
Both Hua Tian Dao and Wen Xiang were formidable opponents. Lu Li must go all out in this last fight. It didn't matter to him who won or lost.
It would be better if it was Hua Tian Dao. After all, Hua Tian Dao didn't have a Sovereign Weapon or armor.
The fight was intense. Both of them tried their best. At this stage, both of them wanted to go further. The second place would make them more famous.
With 100,000 people and so many powerful warriors watching, both of them wanted to perform well.
The fight lasted for more than two hours. Both of them were wounded. Wen Xiang's Sovereign Weapon could only protect his body, not his limbs and head.
One of his legs was cut off. Hua Tian Dao's armor was broken. His back was covered in blood, but the two were still fighting hard.
"Boom!"
In the end, Wen Xiang was slightly weaker. He was attacked by Hua Tian Dao. His helmet cracked and his head was cracked.
If the fight went on, his life might be in danger. He cupped his fists, sighed, and said, "Okay, Brother Hua, I admit defeat!"
"Thank you!"
Hua Tian Dao wiped the blood from his mouth, cupped his fists, and said, "I was lucky to win against you today. I admire you very much. Either way, I will make friends with you!"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Wen Xiang laughed. He took two healing pellets and said, "Brother Hua, rest well. I look forward to your fight to the top."
"Top?"
Hua Tian Dao forced a smile. He was so badly injured that he almost couldn't stand it anymore. How much could he recover in half a day?
Lu Li had source energy. Hua Tian Dao was no match for him. The fight next boded ill.
The two were teleported out. Hua Tian Dao flew back to the outdoor pavilion at once to heal his wounds.
The patriarch of the Holy Maiden Sect announced a half-day break. The final fight would begin in half a day.
Nobody was looking forward to the final fight because the gap between the two was too wide. Hua Tian Dao had already lost to Lu Li. Now that he was badly injured, how could he fight?
Time moved on. A patriarch of the Hua Family went over to ask Hua Tian Dao some questions out of concern. Nothing else happened.
Soon, half a day passed. Hua Tian Dao opened his eyes on time. He put on his armor again. His face was still pale. He looked like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness.
He walked out slowly. Lu Li opened his eyes and walked out as well.
