The martial arena in the Heavenly Thunder Manor had always been very deserted. This place was actually somewhat redundant, because the disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect who came to Ying Tian City usually treated this place as a temporary shelter, not a place to cultivate.

If he wanted to cultivate, wouldn’t it be better to directly return to the Heavenly Thunder Sect?

In fact, not to mention the deserted martial arena, the entire Heavenly Thunder Manor was usually empty.

As for why it was so lively now, it was mainly because the World Martial Arts Convention was about to be held. Many disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect came to Ying Tian City to participate in this grand event.

All the facilities in the mansion are available. Regardless of whether you will cultivate here or not, all of them will be built for you. Furthermore, they will be constructed according to the highest specifications, so as to conform to the standards of Ying Tian City.

Ying Tian City was the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, and they were all high-ranking officials. If a certain facility was too simple and crude, it would inevitably provoke ridicule. Even if it was just for the sake of face, he still had to make it beautiful.

Therefore, this arena was of extremely high specifications. The ground was forged from diamond and obsidian composite materials, and it could withstand the repeated attacks of ordinary Void Realm experts.

The deserted arena became lively today because of the battle between Li Qing and Fang Zhi Rou. Hundreds of Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples rushed into the spacious field and looked at the two figures in the field.

“Who do you think will win?” Someone said.

“Nonsense, it must be Eldest Senior Sister. With the Heavenly Thunder Body and the many secret arts of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, who can defeat him in the Void Realm?” They said confidently.

“Speaking of which, do you know Eldest Senior Sister’s opponent?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen it before. I don’t know where it came from.”

“The World Martial Arts Convention has attracted many foreign martial artists. Perhaps that person came from another continent. His strength should be pretty good. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Eldest Senior Sister to attach such importance to him.”

“That’s right. Those who have the chance to be challenged by Eldest Senior Sister are all extraordinary people.”

At this moment, a voice rang out from the crowd, “The market is open, the market is open. Whoever loses in this competition will win. Everyone, come and place your bets.”

They all turned around and saw that Senior Brother Lei Zun was setting up a huge gambling table with a line drawn in the middle. On the left was Eldest Senior Sister, and on the right was Li Qing.

Lei Zun shouted loudly, “Betting on Eldest Senior Sister winning on the left, betting on Li Qing winning on the right. Everyone, come and bet. Such a good opportunity to earn money is an opportunity that cannot be missed. It will never come again.”

“I bet Eldest Senior Sister wins!”

“I bet Eldest Senior Sister wins!”

…

All of the Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples placed bets on Fang Zhi Rou. Seeing this scene, Thunder Sovereign’s mouth burst into laughter.

Only those people who had traveled with him yesterday knew Li Qing’s deeds, so they hesitated in their hearts, not knowing which side to bet on.

“Senior Brother Lei, can Li Qing really win?” One of them asked.

“How would I know? I haven’t seen them compete before.” Venerable Thunder rolled his eyes.

“Previously, you described Li Qing’s combat strength to be so formidable. Is what you said true? If you accidentally won by Eldest Senior Sister, wouldn’t you have to compensate for your death?”

“Why are you asking so many questions? You can’t place a bet? Don’t talk too much. There’s no way you can ask for confidential information!” Lei Zun said impatiently.

In the end, those few people still placed their bets on Eldest Senior Sister. Seeing is believing and hearing is false, they are more willing to believe Eldest Senior Sister.

“Excuse me, can you accept my bet here?” Xiao Bai walked over and asked timidly.

“Sure. Little sister, who do you want to bet on?” Lei Zun smiled and said, looking like a big grey wolf.

“I bet on Li Qing winning!” Xiao Bai said shyly.

“Then how much do you want to bet?” Venerable Thunder asked. He wasn’t surprised by Xiao Bai’s choice. Since she was Li Qing’s younger sister, she must know his true strength, so she naturally had full confidence in him.

But even so, so what? In his opinion, how many spirit stones could this little girl in front of him take? In any case, there was nothing to lose.

“This is my bet. Put it all in the spatial ring. Take a look.” Xiao Bai took out a black spatial ring.

“Isn’t it enough to just take it out? Why do you still need a spatial ring?” Venerable Thunder didn’t take it seriously, so he casually took it over and looked inside the spatial ring.

In the next moment, his eyes were dull and his face was filled with shock.

“You… Where did you get so many spirit stones? Are you kidding me?” Lei Zun stammered, his hands trembling.

“Who cares where I get the spirit stones? Anyway, I can place a bet. You just admitted it yourself!” Xiao Bai said proudly, revealing his true colors. He no longer looked as shy as before.

“Your stake is too big. I can’t accept it.” The Thunder Sovereign wanted to cry but didn’t have any tears, but was deceived by this little woman. How could he have imagined that such a young girl in front of him would be able to take out so many spirit stones?

Even though he hadn’t carefully counted them, the number of spirit stones probably didn’t exceed 100,000, right?

What is this little girl’s family background? He was actually so rich, could it be that he was the daughter of a large family?

No, even if it was the daughter of a large family, it was impossible for her to take out so many spirit stones. After all, she was too young. Who would give so many spirit stones to a child?

“What? You discriminated against me as a child. You forbade me from placing bets? You personally agreed to this just now!” Xiao Bai snorted coldly.

“However, if you really win this hundred thousand spirit stones, then I’ll have to compensate Grandma’s house.” Venerable Thunder laughed bitterly.

Needless to say, Li Qing was certain to win this competition. Even ten Eldest Senior Sisters combined would not be able to defeat someone who could fight against the four great Void Realm warriors.

Little White was betting more than a hundred thousand spirit stones, it was simply asking for his life.

The hundreds of Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples on the field basically didn’t take out much stakes. Each of them was roughly a few hundred spirit stones. In total, they didn’t take out as much as Xiao Bai did.

“Since this is the opening gamble, then there must be winners and losers. How can there be a logic of winning and not losing?” Xiao Bai chuckled, his face full of treachery.

“The casino only wins but not loses.” Venerable Thunder muttered softly.

“Cut the crap. Since you have the guts to open a gambling table, don’t tell me you still don’t have the guts to accept my bet?”

“Don’t provoke me. I’ve personally witnessed Li Qing’s strength. I know who has the greatest chance of winning. I really can’t accept your bet.” Venerable Thunder shook his head.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll announce all of your schemes. At that time, I’ll see how your fellow disciples will treat you.” Xiao Bai threatened.

“Auntie, please spare me. Is it easy for me to earn some money? Don’t make trouble here.” Venerable Thunder’s face was filled with grief.

“How about this, the spirit stones you earn will be divided between me and half, how about it?”

“Half! Why aren’t you robbing?” Venerable Thunder shouted loudly.

“Then think of me as a robber.” Xiao Bai smiled and said.

“Alright, I’m afraid of you. Half of you, half of you.” Venerable Thunder shook his head helplessly. Whose child was this? It was actually so strange. She was simply a little witch.

However, at least there were spirit stones to earn, so it wasn’t a loss. Only then did his mind become a little more balanced.

On the battlefield, the battle began very quickly.

Fang Zhi Rou knew that Li Qing’s strength was extremely tyrannical and he was extremely strong in close combat. He was definitely not his opponent, so he decided to attack from afar.

She threw out more than a dozen terrifying bolts of lightning, and a purple lightning the size of a bucket flashed past and struck Li Qing’s body.

In the end, he discovered that the other party was actually fine and leisurely standing there.

“How can you withstand my lightning so easily?” Fang Zhi Rou said with a shocked expression.

“Well … I’ve endured a lot of lightning tempering in my early years, and I already have an extremely high immunity. This little bit of lightning isn’t very useful to me.” Li Qing said.

Back then, he had already received a large amount of lightning tempering in the second lightning world of the Heaven Ascension Road in the Yin Yang Ruins.

In fact, Fang Zhi Rou’s lightning power was even stronger than the lightning in the Thunder World back then. After all, the tests in the Thunder World were also determined by strength.

On the other hand, Fang Zhi Rou was at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, and also had the Heavenly Thunder Body. He cultivated the Heavenly Thunder Sect’s ultimate technique, and his strength was incomparably tyrannical. It was not surprising that he was stronger than the lightning trials in the Thunder World.

However, the problem was that Li Qing’s strength was no longer the same as before, and his defense had greatly increased. Under the double cancellation, an attack of this level had little effect on him.

As a result, Li Qing endured more than a dozen bolts of lightning and was almost unharmed. There were only a few scorched black wounds on his body.

“You freak!” Fang Zhi Rou took a deep breath. Actually, it was normal for Li Qing to block these ten or so bolts of lightning. The problem was that Li Qing forcefully endured it with his mortal body and didn’t make any defenses at all. This was a bit scary.

“Looks like I have to make a big move! Violet Cyan Lightning Pearl, condense it for me!” Fang Zhi Rou clasped her hands together, and a ball of lightning appeared in her palm. It was purple and azure, compressing the boundless power of lightning into it.

“Go!” Fang Zhi Rou sent out the thunder ball and flew towards Li Qing.

Li Qing was familiar with this lightning technique. Back in the Spirit Sea, Kui Niu’s innate divine ability was a Gui Shui Divine Lightning. It also condensed the power of lightning and combined it with the power of the Spirit Sea to form a ball of lightning. Its power was simply earth-shattering.

Although Fang Zhi Rou’s Violet Cyan Lightning Pearl was far inferior to the Gui Shui Divine Lightning, it could not be underestimated.

The Thunder Pearl flew over lightly. Its speed was not fast, but Li Qing knew that it could explode at any time, destroying everything within a radius of several hundred feet.

As Fang Zhi Rou’s big move, Li Qing did not dare to hold it up. He stretched out his big palm that covered the sky and the sun, grabbed the thunderball and held it tightly in his palm.

At this moment, Fang Zhi Rou shouted softly, “Explode!”

However, something unexpected happened. The lightning pearl in her palm did not explode because it was already suppressed by Li Qing with the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heavenly Palm!

“It can’t be!” She cried out involuntarily. Such a thing meant that the opponent’s strength was far greater than her. Only then would it be possible to suppress the Thunder Pearl and not even be able to explode!

This caused her to have an indescribable feeling in her heart. A sense of frustration arose spontaneously. Was the gap between the two sides really that big?

“I’ll give it back to you!” Li Qing pushed the Thunder Pearl horizontally and returned it to Fang Zhi Rou.

Her expression changed, and she immediately detonated the lightning. Immediately, a sea of lightning exploded, covering a distance of several hundred feet. The might of the lightning was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, the surrounding disciples were far away and practiced the Lightning Technique, so they weren’t harmed.

“It seems like the situation isn’t good. Why does it feel like Eldest Senior Sister can’t beat him?” Everyone was discussing.

As disciples of the Heavenly Lightning Sect, they naturally knew that the Purple Cyan Lightning Abacus was an extremely formidable technique, but it was actually suppressed by the opponent with one hand. This shocked them in their hearts.

“Are you kidding? How could Eldest Senior Sister lose? She hasn’t exerted her strength yet. As long as she exerts her strength, she can win!” They were still confident.

Fang Zhi Rou’s mind was tenacious, so it was naturally impossible for him to admit defeat so easily. He immediately used another Heavenly Thunder Sect technique.

“The Nine Heavens Profound Temple has transformed into divine lightning. I am the ruler of the brilliant heavenly might!” Fang Zhi Rou stepped on the seven stars and muttered.

Moments later, the dark clouds in the sky immediately surged endlessly. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed continuously. The heavens and the earth were filled with killing intent, and strong winds blew.

“This is Purple Firmament Heavenly Lightning! Eldest Senior Sister intends to lure the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning down from the sky!” Everyone cried out in alarm.

“The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning even needs to retreat from the Void Realm experts. If it hits the opponent, will it hack him to death?”

“That’s not necessarily the case. With Eldest Senior Sister’s strength, she can only attract a lightning bolt of Purple Firmament that isn’t too powerful. It’s far from being enough to kill the other party, right?”

With a cracking sound, a purple lightning descended from the sky. Its speed was incredibly fast and instantly struck Li Qing’s head.

Boom!

Purple light flickered. Everyone could only feel the vast expanse of white in front of them. With the speed of a human’s reaction, it was almost impossible for them to dodge.

Li Qing was directly struck by this Purple Firmament Divine Lightning. He stood dumbfounded on the spot and was scorched by the lightning.

“Really? He didn’t make any defensive gestures and just stood there dumbfounded. Isn’t this dangerous?” Everyone was shocked.

“Are you alright? Why aren’t you dodging or defending?” Fang Zhi Rou looked at Li Qing worriedly. If she hacked her opponent to death, or if she hacked him to pieces, that would not be her original intention.

Li Qing spat out a mouthful of light smoke and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth. He said, “The power is not bad! Unfortunately, it is still a little bit lacking.”

His body was charred black by the electricity, which made his teeth appear white. However, in Fang Zhi Rou’s eyes, this was clearly a bit gloomy.

“Why didn’t you receive much damage when you were struck by the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning? Are you still a human?” Fang Zhi Rou was about to collapse. What was this guy made of? His defense was so strong. Not to mention Xiantian experts, even Void Realm experts would probably feel uncomfortable if they were directly struck.

“Actually, I still suffered some injuries, but you didn’t see it.” Li Qing smiled.

“I don’t believe it. Could it be that the power of thunder has no effect on you at all?” Fang Zhi Rou gritted her teeth and continued to use another technique.

“Thunderstorm!”

“Thunder God’s Eye!”

“Lightning Spear!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In this arena, various explosions continuously sounded. Thunder and lightning rumbled and turned into a sea of lightning. Everyone retreated to avoid being affected.

“You’ve been fighting for so long. It’s time for me to take action.” Li Qing walked out of the lightning, and under Fang Zhi Rou’s shocked gaze, he threw out a palm that covered the sky and covered the sun.

Extreme Emperor Splitting Heaven Palm!

The sound of wind and thunder rang out, and Fang Zhi Rou turned into a bolt of lightning and fled. This was another peerless technique of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Escape.

However, the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heavenly Palm covered the sky and blocked the sun. No matter how the opponent escaped, they would not be able to escape from Li Qing’s palm.

He stretched out his huge palm and grabbed Fang Zhi Rou tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape.

“How is it? Do you admit defeat?” Li Qing said with a smile.

“Let go of me!” Fang Zhi Rou struggled with all her might.

“Tell me first whether you admit defeat or not.”

“Alright, I admit defeat. Let me down first!” Fang Zhi Rou’s face turned red.

Only then did Li Qing realize that his palm seemed to have squeezed against her strong chest muscles. It was a little embarrassing. He immediately let go of her hand and let her go.

“Since the competition is over, I’ll go back first.” Li Qing laughed dryly.

Fang Zhi Rou’s expression quickly returned to normal. She looked at Li Qing and said, “You are the first person of her age to defeat me so cleanly! No wonder you are able to fight against the fourth level of the Void Realm. I am far behind you! But I will not give up easily. The road ahead is still long. I will definitely surpass you!”

In the end, she was a different woman, possessing a firm will and a fierce personality, no less than a man.

Even if he failed, he still wouldn’t admit defeat easily. He only wanted to increase his strength in the future, and then openly get back on the stage.

“En, with such determination, I’m very optimistic about you.” After Li Qing finished speaking, he left the arena.

Everyone automatically separated and looked at this figure in awe. It was this man who defeated the undefeatable Queen in their hearts.

“I didn’t expect that Eldest Senior Sister would also fail. It seems like this Martial Arts Convention is really full of experts.”

“This person’s name is Li Qing? Why does it feel like I’ve heard of him somewhere?”

“Earlier, I heard Senior Martial Brother Lei Zun say that this person is rumored to be able to fight the Golden Lion Marquis for dozens of rounds without losing. The reason for that is because he is incomparably formidable. It is normal for Eldest Martial Sister to lose to him.”

“I’ve heard Senior Brother Lei Zun mention this before. At that time, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t expect such a powerful person to exist!”

Everyone sighed.

“Take the money. I’m willing to admit defeat, haha.” At this moment, Venerable Thunder was sitting at the gambling table, collecting all the spirit stones in his bag, his mouth cracking with laughter.

However, before he could be happy, he saw Xiao Bai Shi Ran walking over, stretching out a small hand and smiling like a devil, “Give me half!”

The corners of Lei Zun’s eyes twitched. In the end, he could only reluctantly take out half of the spirit stones and hand them to Xiao Bai.

“That’s more like it. You’re smart!” Xiao Bai held onto the spirit stones and happily left the house.
