Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 971: Chapter 56: Utter Chaos (Second Update)

”This... using magic so soon?”

”Such nonsense, utterly reckless!”

”Only seeking immediate satisfaction without considering the consequences. It’s just the beginning, and they’ve already depleted their Divine Power and Divine Sense; how will they manage the rest of the competition?”

”Young people today are truly impulsive and impatient.”

Outside the arena, atop Snow Peak, the spectators started to discuss.

They were bewildered by the colorful Power of Laws displayed on the stage and couldn’t understand why a personal battle would start with magic.

Watching people being continuously knocked off the stage, seeing some winning a few rounds only to lose one and start over, the number of sighs from those outside the arena increased.

Si Mo, hidden within the crowd, listened to the comments of the so-called elders around him with disdain in his heart.

What do these common folks know?

Overly cautious, they cannot achieve great things.

Having the ability but not using it might mean missing the opportunity later on.

’My little Ge’er is still the smart one.’ Si Mo smiled with his eyes squinted, never missing a moment of looking at Mu Qingge.

In his view, Mu Qingge’s strategy was correct.

Mu Qingge used magic to force her opponent back, falling to the ground. At this moment, a steward from the Zhong Shan Domain standing by the stage silently noted an entry in their jade token.

Mu Qingge had won eight consecutive matches, and with two more rounds, she would be the first to qualify.

Yan Quan, who had been watching Mu Qingge’s actions closely, also noticed this. His gaze darkened, becoming more sullen as he forbade Mu Qingge from qualifying before him, and he must be the champion of this ten-victory personal battle.

Thinking of this, Yan Quan’s gaze grew even darker.

He unleashed magic, repelling his opponent, causing them to cough blood and collapse unconscious.

In the Four Divine Domains debates, killing is forbidden. If anyone violates this, they are immediately expelled, never to participate in the debates again. This is a rule made of iron, and no one can break it.

Otherwise, Mu Qingge would have killed Ji Lun earlier.

And that recent blow from Yan Quan nearly claimed the person’s life, ruthless and merciless.

No wonder that person, before fainting, looked at Yan Quan with disbelief, then with hatred. However, Yan Quan didn’t care about that hatred at all.

While the unconscious person was being carried away for treatment, Yan Quan took the opportunity to summon two disciples from the Zhuoyu Domain, whispering instructions to them: ”Go and stall that Third Young Master of Huan Yue.”

He wanted them to stall Mu Qingge, preventing her from winning two more rounds and qualifying.

Meanwhile, he would continue winning until the final round, personally teaching Mu Qingge a lesson, letting her taste failure atop the pinnacle of victory.

The two disciples from Zhuoyu Domain received the instructions and left.

Yan Quan turned his gaze toward Mu Qingge’s area, coldly smiling.

However, when he withdrew his gaze and continued to search for his sixth prey, a figure suddenly flickered before him, blocking his path.

He focused his eyes, and his gaze instantly sharpened menacingly.

”Yan Quan brother, it seems we’ve both won five rounds; this is the sixth round. Shall we have a match?” Li Chao stood in front of Yan Quan, smiling.

Yan Quan’s heart sank, and he said to Li Chao, ”Li Chao, our strengths are comparable. If you want to spar with me usually, I’d oblige. But today’s not the right time. Are you willing to give up the chance to bathe in Dao Light?”

Li Chao’s smile slowly faded as he replied: ”There is some truth to that, but I don’t want you to qualify. So what do we do?”

Yan Quan sneered: ”There’s no old hatred between us, no recent grievance. Why must we oppose each other? You fight yours, I fight mine. We both get spots; wouldn’t everyone be happy?”

”No recent grievance?” Li Chao smiled playfully, but his gaze turned frigid. He still remembered nearly being hit by an Ice Needle five days ago.

Li Chao blocked Yan Quan’s path without making a move or leaving, causing Yan Quan to frown.

Meanwhile, the two disciples from Zhuoyu Domain tasked with hindering Mu Qingge had already engaged her. Although they were at the Spirit Cave Realm Second Layer, their realm was lower than Mu Qingge’s, but their cooperation might successfully stall her.

Mu Qingge swept a cold gaze at the two, her lips slightly curved playfully.

She knew their intent clearly.

Mu Qingge lowered the Linglong Spear, its tip pointing to the ground, with one hand behind her back. She didn’t attack, while the two from Zhuoyu Domain simply guarded her sides without striking.

After all, their task was to delay Mu Qingge, preventing her from appearing.

Amidst their stalemate, Mu Qingge suddenly revealed a strange smile.

She raised the hand behind her and waved at the two.

Like a thin serpent, the current sprang directly from her hand and landed on the two disciples of the Zhuoyu Domain. Struck by the current, the two disciples had no time to react before they convulsed, collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and their eyes rolled back.

”Huan Yue Domain, Mu Qingge, ten consecutive victories!” The steward from the Zhong Shan Domain, responsible for recording Mu Qingge’s battle results, shouted loudly after noting it in the jade token.

Mu Qingge is the first to secure a spot.

With her spot secured, she can now step down to rest, waiting until one hundred winners emerge to compete with the second, third, and fourth for the top three spots.

Mu Qingge stowed away the Linglong Spear and, as the crowd on the platform watched her, jumped off the platform and retreated to the side, waiting silently.

The crowd on the platform was momentarily stunned by her advancement.

They only reacted after she had left the platform, and resumed fighting.

Mu Qingge’s advancement made the people on the platform increasingly convinced that her direct method of using magic was right. Instantly, chaos descended upon the platform again, with various powers of laws interweaving, filling the platform and even the surrounding area with rampant powers of laws.

Yan Quan heard the announcement of Mu Qingge’s advancement, and his face instantly darkened, clouds thick with anger. He glared grimly at Li Chao and said, ”You deliberately held me back.”

Li Chao did not deny it but instead smiled, ”Since Brother Yan Quan is unwilling to teach, I’ll have to solicit your advice another day.” With that, he ignored the unspeakably foul expression on Yan Quan’s face, turned, and went in another direction, casually picking another opponent.

With just one move of his magic, he won a round.

Yan Quan was so furious he almost wanted to kill someone, yet he retained enough sense to not act impulsively.

He vented the frustration from Huan Yue Domain members on the others. With his explosive magic, he mercilessly pushed back two people, achieving eight consecutive victories.

Just two more wins, and he would advance.

If he could secure the second spot, he’d have the opportunity to personally punish Mu Qingge!

”Mu? Haha, that’s truly interesting.” On the Ice Lotus, the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan half-closed his eyes opened slowly after hearing the steward’s announcement, fixing them on Mu Qingge standing outside the platform.

This little one whom he found amusing actually bore the surname Mu!

That surname is taboo in the Divine Land!

Though he cared naught, yet a rising youngster daring to roam under such a surname is indeed...

”Should I say you’re ignorant? Or fearless?” murmured the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan.

The tone of his voice made it hard to discern joy or anger, leaving no clue as to what he was thinking. However, as he looked at Mu Qingge, there was a notable glimmer in his gaze.

As if he had discovered a particularly interesting toy.

Suddenly, he had some anticipation: ’Is there a connection between this Mu and that Mu? I sincerely hope you come from the same lineage. If that’s the case, the unknown answer and mystery might be revealed.’

”There’s an interesting person from Huan Yue Domain.” the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan suddenly remarked.

Standing beside the platform, Mu Qingge hardly noticed that due to her name, the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan had deepened his impression of her. Nor did she care about the slight change in expression of those spectators upon hearing her name.

It’s not that she truly didn’t care, but rather, at this moment, she felt Yan Quan’s provocative glance.

The undisguised hostility, the blatant killing intent, made her eyes turn completely cold.

Coming to Zhong Shan Domain this time, her main purpose was to bathe in Dao Light, not to make enemies. However, that didn’t mean she’d bear silently if someone endlessly sought to kill her.

Moments after Mu Qingge stepped off the platform, Yan Quan achieved ten consecutive victories and jumped off the chaos-ridden platform. As his feet touched down, Li Chao followed, jumping off the platform and standing beside Mu Qingge.

The top three spots are now taken.

The remaining ninety-six spots are targets for everyone to fight over.

”Mu Qingge, you’re truly cunning.” Yan Quan said coldly, standing opposite Mu Qingge.

Li Chao moved closer to Mu Qingge, watching Yan Quan with a face full of caution.

Mu Qingge smirked at Yan Quan’s threatening tone, completely ignoring it. ”Young Master Yan Quan need not thank me, although you used my method to secure second place.”

This taunt made Yan Quan’s face grow even darker, while Li Chao pursed his lips, holding back laughter.

Yan Quan glared furiously at Mu Qingge; if looks could kill, Mu Qingge would have been pierced and died countless times.

Unfortunately, looks can’t kill, even if Yan Quan stared at her angrily, she’d still remain unfazed, infuriating Yan Quan to the point where his grip alternated between tight and loose on his long sword, veins bulging on his forehead.

”Hmph.” Eventually, Yan Quan snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Yet, as he left, he threw out one last defiant remark: ”Your good luck is about to run out; I will personally end you.”

After he left, Li Chao said to Mu Qingge, ”Looks like he’s set his sights on you. Be careful in the competition for the top three. If I face him first, I’ll try to deplete his strength. But if I’m overwhelmed, it’s no shame to concede. Your realm isn’t on par with his, conceding isn’t dishonorable. However, the top three should be secure.”
