Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 253 - 147: Defeating Three Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators in a Row—Who Is This Person?

Chapter 253: Chapter 147: Defeating Three Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators in a Row—Who Is This Person?

"A low-level magical artifact? No way!"

"An Eighth Layer to a Ninth Layer in Qi Refining, I thought he had some hidden tricks, but he actually took out a low-level magical artifact."

"Probably just putting on a show, and will just surrender once the duel is officially announced."

...

The discussions from the audience reached the ears of the two people on the stage.

Chu Ning’s expression remained unchanged, while the Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator named Ye Guoxin had a look of disdain on his face.

Meanwhile, in the high platform of Feihong Island, the three members of the Jiang Family were naturally watching the stage intently.

When they saw Chu Ning take out a basic magical artifact, their disappointment was clearly displayed on their faces.

"Brother, didn’t you say Chu Ning might be holding back some tricks..."

Jiang Gang mumbled.

Jiang Hongguang merely sighed lightly, without responding.

At this moment, Cen Wenquan on the high platform saw that both had arrived on the stage.

He directly announced, "Begin the duel!"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you intend to concede?"

Ye Guoxin hadn’t even taken out his artifact, and just looked at Chu Ning calmly.

Chu Ning thought for about two breaths, then earnestly replied:

"I haven’t considered it!"

As Chu Ning’s words fell, the spine was swung, and a fireball was quickly released, whistling towards Ye Guoxin.

Ye Guoxin was slightly stunned, caught off guard by Chu Ning’s words and the sudden attack.

However, upon seeing the incoming attack, he realized it was just a regular fireball technique, and he instantly relaxed.

There was no time to retrieve any magical artifact or talisman; he used his Magical Power to form a light green protective shield around his body.

This Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator practiced the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique.

"Really? He attacked for real!"

"But using a fireball technique against a Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator, this is just..."

Watching the scene on the stage, many people chuckled.

However, on the stage, Ye Guoxin’s expression changed ever so slightly.

When the fireball quickly arrived in front of him, he vaguely sensed something was amiss.

This didn’t seem like a regular fireball technique.

But there was no time to think further.

"Boom!"

A slight explosion sounded.

The fireball struck the green shield.

In the next moment, the green shield on Ye Guoxin’s body instantly shattered.

Immediately after, the explosive flame struck Ye Guoxin.

The blast wave directly knocked Ye Guoxin into the air.

"Bang!"

The unprepared Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator was thrown into the stage’s restriction barrier and then fell back down.

Fortunately, he managed to react, deploying an additional defense shield.

At least it cushioned his fall to the ground.

Even so, he looked as embarrassed as one could be.

"Wow!"

The audience erupted in an uproar.

Many cultivators stared blankly at the scene.

"What... what just happened?"

"Ye Guoxin was too careless, his defense was entirely inadequate."

"But that Chu Ning’s fireball technique seems to have some power."

"It was just that Ye Guoxin was too careless; otherwise, how could he have been blasted away..."

Hearing these discussions, Ye Guoxin climbed up from the ground with an extremely displeased expression.

He slapped his storage bag, taking out a magical artifact, just about to speak.

At this moment, Cen Wenquan’s voice rang out.

"In this duel, Feihong Island’s Chu Ning wins!"

This was because the rule in the tournaments of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands was to stop at the point of clear victory; if one party shows clear signs of defeat, the duel ends.

This is because gaining governance over each other’s territory could lead to deeper grudges if there were severe injuries.

This way, the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands would remain peaceful.

Ye Guoxin understood this rule and gave Chu Ning a hateful glance before flying off the stage and returning to his own high platform.

At this moment, many people finally realized what had happened.

Jiang Hongguang and the two others from the Jiang Family looked dumbfounded at Chu Ning standing on the stage.

"Did we really win a match?"

Jiang Lan’s face was filled with joyous surprise.

Although she had doubted Chu Ning’s words before, the straightforward young woman couldn’t hide her happiness at winning a match.

Jiang Hongguang’s expression was rather more severe.

"Fellow Daoist Chu caught him off guard just now, it might not be as easy next time."

Jiang Hongguang’s words were clearly not just idle talk.

Because at this moment, another cultivator flew out from the high platform of Jingquan Island.

He was also a Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator, and he looked even younger than the previous one.

"Jingquan Island’s Xu Jianlong, please teach me, Fellow Daoist from Feihong Island."

This person gazed at Chu Ning with hostility but did not immediately attack.

Cen Wenquan asked at this moment:

"Will Feihong Island change candidates?"

Chu Ning shook his head, "No change!"

"Begin the duel!" Cen Wenquan announced the start of the match.

Hearing this, both made their moves simultaneously.

Chu Ning once again used the spine to launch fireballs, but this time, he also launched a fireball with his left hand.

As for Xu Jianlong, he seemed to have a defensive magical artifact, covered by a light yellow protective shield.

It seemed to be an Earth Attribute defensive magical artifact.

Clearly, he had learned from the previous lesson, thinking to defend first.

But Xu Jianlong was slightly surprised when the seemingly strong protective shield of the magical artifact.

With a "Boom" sound of explosion, it directly shattered.
