"What's going on?" Jiang Feiyang, who had fallen into a coma due to Di Xin's intoxicating aura, finally regained his senses and held his head, which felt like it was splitting, as he walked to the sidelines and looked at the chaotic scene in the ring, wondering. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"You're awake! It's already the second match." Wang Wenze glanced at Jiang Feiyang and asked, "Are you feeling okay?"

Jiang Feiyang held onto the back of a chair, shook his head, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It still hurts a bit! Curiosity killed the cat; I took too much of that wine aroma without realizing how potent it was. What did you say? It's already the second match! How long have I been asleep? Who won the first match?"

"It was a tie." Pei Yan casually spat out the words in response.

"A tie? That's crazy! This girl here is amazing! Her presence is reminiscent of Xia Yu!" Jiang Feiyang, surprised by the answer, rubbed his head and looked at Lin Xunrou, who was weaving left and right, exchanging blows among a pack of dogs, each time eliminating a vicious dog, and exclaimed.

"Yes, who would have thought that the representative from the Daoist Realm in martial arts would be her." Ye Ruozai stared unblinkingly at Lin Xunrou's every move, noting that the techniques she demonstrated were much more exquisite than those bestowed by the Immortal Palace. As he watched, he gained invaluable insights, but after a while, he became perplexed and inhaled sharply, saying, "What exactly is Ivan trying to do? Even though Lin Xunrou's words aren't absolutely correct, these dogs are only four or five times stronger in physique and stature than ordinary dogs, and to her, they are like ants; no number of them will harm her. So why is Ivan going to such lengths?"

Ye Ruozai's words echoed the thoughts of everyone present, even Pei Yan, who hadn't missed a single frame throughout, couldn't detect any flaws after comparing previous footage. At this moment, Lin Junzhao's voice rang out coldly, mocking, "For others, it's understandable, but Pei Yan, Ye Ruozai, haven't you noticed? How can I trust you to confront Xuesha like this? You won't even know how you'll die."

Lin Junzhao's sarcasm made Pei and Ye's faces blush with shame immediately. The two stayed silent and directed all their energy to focus on every detail of the match. Shortly after, it was Pei Yan who first discovered the anomaly and exclaimed, "There's something wrong with those dogs!"

"Of course we know there's something wrong, but what exactly is it?" Wang Wenze interrupted impatiently before Pei Yan could finish speaking.

"Each dog, once killed, turns into a puddle of flesh. That puddle of flesh quickly sinks into the ground, re-congealing into a new vicious dog. During this process, a wisp of barely perceptible aura disperses as the puddle disappears and enters Lin Xunrou's body." Pei Yan straightened up and replied.

"Indeed, but the issue is that this aura appears to be the most primitive, attribute-less Primordial Qi, which we've overlooked until now. If there's truly a problem, it must lie within this aura. But what exactly is it?" Ye Ruozai continued from Pei Yan's explanation.

"What is it? You'll find out soon enough!" Lin Junzhao said contemptuously, "Xuesha likes to use these covert harm tactics; it doesn't look good for that girl in this match."

After several matches, everyone had come to trust Lin Junzhao's predictive direction entirely. All eyes turned to the ring; at this moment, Lin Xunrou remained the focus. Faced with the rapidly arriving pack of dogs, she used each move swiftly and efficiently, employing the most energy-saving attack methods to destroy this group that knew nothing of death but charged forward incessantly.

However, as more and more dogs emerged, the distance between Lin Xunrou and her target Ivan was pushed farther apart, obstructed by a densely packed army of dogs. Realizing that continuing this way would not be viable, Lin Xunrou decided to muster all her strength to resolve all the dogs at once and confront Ivan head-on.

After making this decision, she leaped into the air; at this distance, according to common sense, no matter how high a dog jumps, it should not reach her. Yet reality once again defied spectators' expectations. When Lin Xunrou moved beyond their attack range, the dogs spun around beneath her, then devised a solution: one dog jumped onto another dog's back, quickly merging their bodies, forming a larger, more ferocious transformed dog with wings.

With the first came the second, and a series of fused mutated dogs flapped their wings, awkwardly maneuvering to attack Lin Xunrou again.

In the air, Lin Xunrou, weary of the relentless creatures, clenched her fists as a volatile aura surrounded her body. Just as the first dog was about to strike her, she made her move.

"Mountain Collapse!"

Two words left her lips as Lin Xunrou leapt in mid-air, punching towards the ground, her seemingly graceful small frame emitting surprising power, with Qi flowing through her meridians concentrated into this punch, combined with the momentum of this technique.

One move! Just one move! Beneath her, the gathered dogs were crushed into pulp under the mighty impact. Without pausing, Lin Xunrou's assault continued; the next second she stepped through the air and appeared in front of Ivan in a blink.

"Wave Strike!"

Again, two words escaped her lips, as she kicked toward Ivan's abdomen, blocked by the staff Ivan constantly toyed with in his palm.

A crisp crack sound was heard, the staff snapped, lightning showered out as Lin Xunrou's blade-sharp leg, wrapped in lightning, delivered a harsh kick to Ivan's stomach. Without uttering a sound, he was transformed into a shadow and flew away.

Thud! As a dull sound, Ivan's body collided with the Protective Array and bounced back, his body still not touching the ground when greeted by Lin Xunrou's subsequent fierce leg strike.

"Vein Seal!"

A kick to Ivan's chin, accompanied by a clear bone-cracking sound, sent him flying again. Lin Xunrou bent down, fists adorned with elegant silk gloves, as she aimed another series of consecutive strikes at Ivan ascending in the air.

"Hehehehe!" Succumbing to repeated strikes, his body damaged, coughing up blood, Ivan, like a masochist, continued to grin with a distorted face under Lin Xunrou's precise attacks, releasing discordant laughter.

"Madman! Let's see if you can still laugh!" Ivan's actions pointedly sparked Lin Xunrou's challenge, her eyes turning red as she roared into a fresh onslaught.
