Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 723: Chapter 158: Green Talent List Predictions (Third Update)

In Ji Yaohua’s courtyard, the three of them stood in a tripod formation.

Their competition actually took the form of a three-way battle.

In other words, among these three, at times they would be enemies, at times they would form alliances, and at times they would strike each other. Such a contest was highly variable and also filled with higher challenges.

Their gazes constantly crossed in mid-air, with fierce battle flames kindled in their eyes.

Ji Yaohua gave an evil grin, put away the fan in his hand, and said to Mu Qingge, ”Since Ying Ze doesn’t have a Holy Artifact, we shouldn’t use weapons to bully him either.”

”No need,” Ying Ze said coldly.

Mu Qingge nodded, retracted the Linglong Spear, ”You’re right, if we’re pursuing fairness, then we should eliminate all unfair factors. Barehanded, it’s also easier to exert ourselves here.”

The two of them insisted, and Ying Ze no longer spoke, only quietly put away his weapon.

He didn’t take the opportunity to ask Mu Qingge to forge a Holy Level Weapon for him.

All three of them put away their weapons, but the tension between them only increased.

”Come on!” Ji Yaohua shouted excitedly, initiating the attack.

His target was naturally Mu Qingge.

But Ying Ze was not to be outdone and simultaneously attacked Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed sharply, raising her hands, one hand turned into a palm to clash with Ji Yaohua’s palm strike, while the other hand turned into a fist, directly meeting Ying Ze’s punch.

Boom—!

Two loud bangs echoed simultaneously.

Shock flashed in Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze’s eyes as they were both blown backward, while Mu Qingge was also pushed back. At the center of the three, a powerful Spiritual Power Wave exploded, shattering the stone slabs on the courtyard ground.

”You actually possess such formidable strength!” Ying Ze exclaimed in shock.

His Ying Family, known for Bloodline Power of strength, was unexpectedly met with swelling wrists from Mu Qingge’s punch. He was well aware of the power in his punch just now, unexpected that Mu Qingge, while one against two, could still counterattack so effortlessly.

Ying Ze was amazed, and Ji Yaohua was also deeply shocked.

He was not only stunned by Mu Qingge’s speed but also by her reactions. He attacked first and even integrated his Bloodline Power of wind control into the move, yet Mu Qingge still managed to take it.

Mu Qingge’s lip curled slightly; having cultivated the Divine Strategy Upper Volume, her body’s strength had long surpassed ordinary people. Not to mention receiving a blow from Ying Ze, even her full-force punch could break through three layers of Divine Level Armor.

”Come again!” Mu Qingge smiled, actively issuing a challenge.

This time, she took the initiative to attack, and her target was Ying Ze. Ying Ze’s expression tensed, fully confronting the attack. Ji Yaohua’s gaze flickered, and he also rushed in, joining Ying Ze to face Mu Qingge.

The three fought up and down, hard to distinguish, their figures almost indistinguishable from one another.

Barehanded, their fight was exceptionally fierce; the winds from their fists and palms continuously breaking branches in the courtyard, and even the fake mountain rocks were ground to dust in the tremor.

Suddenly, Ying Ze changed his move and turned to attack Ji Yaohua.

Ji Yaohua leaned back and narrowly dodged, withdrawing a hand to attack Ying Ze in return.

As the fight went on, Mu Qingge and Ji Yaohua joined forces again, jointly dealing with Ying Ze. Though Ying Ze’s cultivation was not on par with theirs, he relied on his Bloodline Power to match them evenly.

The more they fought, the sharper their exchanges became.

Soon, Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze teamed up once more to take on Mu Qingge together.

Mu Qingge responded quickly, her moves crisp and decisive, unreserved against the two, fighting more and more ferociously.

Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze were increasingly startled; they had not anticipated Mu Qingge’s boxing and kicking skills to be equally astonishing. This close combat seemed specially tailored for her—her strikes were tricky, accurate, with tremendous force.

Bang!

Bang, bang!

Boom—!

Three fists collided mid-air, and a formidable wave of Spiritual Power emanated from their fists, causing all three to tilt backward, thus creating a distance between them.

All three landed at the same time; by then, Ji Yaohua’s courtyard was already unrecognizable, a complete mess.

Ji Yaohua looked at Mu Qingge and sighed, ”For someone so slender, you possess such tremendous strength that even Ying Ze can’t defeat you! Just what kind of monster are you? Could there be an extraordinary fierce beast hiding under that human skin?”

Mu Qingge’s lip twitched, defeated by his wild imagination.

Ying Ze brushed the dust off his robe and looked at Mu Qingge, saying, ”As I am now, I’m not your match.”

Ji Yaohua chuckled, adding, ”If we really fight it out, I might battle with you for days and nights, but in the end, the one to lose would still be me.”

”You two are too self-deprecating,” Mu Qingge flicked her sleeve lightly.

She didn’t think herself that strong, merely cultivating the Divine Strategy had made her body more resilient. According to Yin Chen, her body now resembled a human-shaped weapon, even Divine Level Weapons would find it hard to breach her defense.

”This is not a place for talking; let’s move somewhere else,” Ji Yaohua flicked his robe sleeve and said to the two.

To this, Mu Qingge and Ying Ze had no objections.

They left Ji Yaohua’s courtyard and turned into a flower hall. This flower hall was where Mu Qingge was brought on her first day here.

Handmaidens soon delivered tea, snacks, and an abundance of fruits.

The three sat around the table, drinking tea and chatting idly.

”It won’t be long before the Green Talent List updates. Should today’s battle spread, I’m afraid I’ll have to yield my second place on the list,” Ji Yaohua laughed as he peeled fruit.

His expression revealed not much disappointment. The ranking on the Green Talent List didn’t seem that crucial to him.

The proposal, gaining approval with a nod from Ying Ze.

Although in this match, none of the three suffered any damage, they were all aware who was superior and who found it difficult to overcome the other. Experts exchange blows, and one can discern the level without a fight to the death.

Mu Qingge sipped her tea lightly and said to the two of them, ”These rankings are nothing more than a pastime for idle people. If it really came down to a fight to the death, there’s no guarantee the lower-ranked wouldn’t drag the higher-ranked down with them.” She similarly did not care about her place on the Green Talent List.

Her words were met with agreement from Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze.

The fact that the three of them grew from unfamiliarity to friendship perhaps stemmed from sharing the same values.

They were indifferent to the superficial titles imposed by the world, even Ji Yaohua, who often mentioned the top five of the Green Talent List, but in reality, he never cared about it.

”Although none of us care, the Green Talent List still exists. Back in the Sunset Grassland, it seems like Qingge, you had already caught the Divine Hall’s attention. Whether you like it or not, this time your name will be on the Green Talent List,” Ji Yaohua said.

To this, Mu Qingge felt no particular emotion.

Ying Ze spoke slowly, ”You already know Ji Yaohua and me. Among the top five, the fourth and second aren’t your match, so neither Yao Xinghai, the third, nor Xi Qianxue, the fifth, will be a match for you. It’s just uncertain who is stronger between you and Wei Molili.”

”Wei Molili? That madman, he entered the Golden Realm two editions ago, who knows what his current cultivation is? He remains mysterious all the time, never showing himself, it’s unclear if he’s even alive or dead,” Ji Yaohua chimed in.

Mu Qingge lowered her eyes and gently blew away the floating tea leaves in the cup.

She hadn’t told the two that she had also sparred with Xi Qianxue, and Yao Xinghai had challenged her two years ago. However, that challenge was not about combat power but about Elixir!

A sharp glint flashed in Mu Qingge’s lowered eyes, unseen by anyone.

As for Wei Molili...

Regarding this person who has been firmly at the top of the Green Talent List, she indeed felt some curiosity. However, she had always been unable to meet him.

”Have either of you ever met this Wei Molili?” Mu Qingge put down her cup and asked the two.

Ying Ze slowly shook his head, ”Before I got on the list, he was already at the top. I only heard that he became famous as a youth by utterly defeating a Silver Realm Fifth Layer expert with the cultivation of a Silver Realm Second Layer.”

’A challenge beyond one’s level?’ Mu Qingge pondered quietly.

Ji Yaohua added, ”The Wei Family in the Central Continent was originally an obscure ancient clan, always outside of the public’s attention. But with Wei Molili’s sudden rise, the family returned to the spotlight and became noticed again.”

”What kind of ancient clan bloodline does the Wei Family have?” Mu Qingge suddenly asked.

Ji Yaohua laughed, ”Speaking of which, it’s nothing too extraordinary. The Wei Family’s defensive power is remarkable. Their bloodline is said to be the heritage of the Black Tortoise God. And Wei Molili’s bloodline is exceptionally strong. Back then, he relied on his invincible defense to eliminate that Silver Realm Fifth Layer expert.”

He paused and continued, ”Think about it, if someone is virtually unharmable, they can charge forward without fear and knock down their opponent.”

Ying Ze nodded and said, ”It’s said that when people have seen Wei Molili in combat, the opponent’s strikes on him produce a metallic sound, even though he’s clearly not wearing armor.”

’Could it be a Metal Spirit Root?’ Mu Qingge mused in her heart. The descriptions from Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze reminded her of the Gold Ability. In her encounters with superpowers, the Gold Ability is known for its defensive power. Of course, its attack power is also very strong, just somewhat inferior to her Thunder Ability.

In this Otherworld, what people call superpowers should be referred to as Spirit Roots.

If she has an Innate Thunder Spirit Root, then Wei Molili should be one with an Innate Golden Spirit Root. Looking at the two before her... Mu Qingge’s clear eyes reflected the figures of Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze.

Si Mo once said that Ying Ze has a strong bloodline, the Giant Power Bloodline, while Ji Yaohua has an Innate Wind Spirit Root.

”Alright, let’s stop discussing Wei Molili. After all, he’s elusive and, who knows where he is now; Qingge might not even encounter him,” Ji Yaohua interrupted.

The three sat in the garden hall for a while longer, discussing some of the genius figures that had emerged in the past two to three years and speculating on changes in the Green Talent List ranking, then they each went their separate ways.

In the next two days, they all needed to prepare the essentials to head to the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield.

...

Two days later, Ji Yaohua left Wankai City with Mu Qingge and Ying Ze.

He turned to Mu Qingge with a playful smile and said, ”Qingge, quickly, let out Little Cai.”

Little Cai?

A look of curiosity appeared in Ying Ze’s eyes.

Mu Qingge chuckled silently, and with a wave of her hand, a little colorful creature appeared before the three of them.

In an instant, Little Cai transformed into a Colorful Phoenix, calling intimately to Mu Qingge.

”This is Qingge’s mount. If we ride it to the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield, it’ll be much faster,” Ji Yaohua explained to the stunned Ying Ze.

Ying Ze nodded, indicating his understanding.

The three of them mounted Little Cai’s back, and as Mu Qingge patted its neck, it spread its wings and soared swiftly into the sky.

”The entrance to the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield is at the border of the Northern Continent and the Central Continent. From here, it’s not too far,” Ji Yaohua said to Mu Qingge.

”It’s said that when we get there, we’ll need some means to enter,” Mu Qingge added.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Ying Ze took out three golden talismans, handing one to each of them. He explained, ”These three talismans will allow us to enter the Ancient Battlefield, but we can only stay inside for three months. After that, no matter dead or alive, we’ll be ejected out by them.”

”Teleportation Talismans! You sure came prepared,” Ji Yaohua remarked in surprise.

”Come on, were you planning this all along, just waiting for the two of us to fall into your trap?” He teased Ying Ze with bared teeth while holding the talisman.

Ying Ze couldn’t be bothered to respond, just giving him a cold glance.

Little Cai carried the three of them through the sky for three days, finally arriving at the boundary between the Northern Continent and the Central Continent, the legendary entrance to the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield.

After withdrawing Little Cai, standing before the narrow crevice, Mu Qingge suddenly felt a chill rise within her.

Dark mist continuously billowed from the crack, which was narrow at the ends and slightly wider in the middle, with an icily cold aura of death, not much different from typical rock fissures.

”This is the entrance to the Ancient Battlefield,” Ji Yaohua said to the pair.

The three exchanged glances, crushed the talismans in their hands, and vanished from sight.

Mu Qingge felt a jolt, and before she could see clearly, the fierce sounds of combat reached her ears...
