Master of Nine Stars

’Where did the Lotus Petals go? Why aren’t they coming out!?’

’Da Wei used the last of her strength to give me a push, finally giving me a slight advantage. How could the Lotus Petals be gone again!?’

’Wait!’

’How did the Lotus Petals appear just now?’

’When I don’t have the Prison Lotus, the Sinful Lotus comes out because of Empathy.’

’What emotion was I using at that time? Arrogance? Contempt? Disdain? Scorn?’

’And just a moment ago, what was my emotion then?’

’Guan Qiong publicly shamed me in front of the entire country, saying I owed Songjiang Soul Martial a championship?’

’No one ever blamed me. The Yuan Brothers never blamed me. Even Principal Mei Hongyu never said anything...’

’What right do you have to lecture me? Who the hell do you think you are!?’

’I’ve found it!’

’Who! The! Hell! Do! You! Think! You! Are!’

"AHHHH!" Guan Qiong roared in excruciating pain, grabbing the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow with a backhand grip.

Ignoring the deep gash the blade carved into his palm, he violently shoved his other hand toward Rong Taotao’s head!

Guan Qiong didn’t use Star-Stepping Split. He didn’t want to create any more distance from Rong Taotao!

’This is my only chance. Die!’

In that instant, the Star Wave Stream erupted again!

Guan Qiong didn’t use Star-Stepping Split, but the ground beneath Rong Taotao’s feet suddenly exploded.

"BANG..."

Instantly, Guan Qiong was blasted away. As he flew backward, his arm naturally swung upward, firing a Star Wave Stream into the air.

Rong Taotao’s grip loosened. Did he just let go of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?

But then Rong Taotao straightened his palm and struck the hilt of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, sending it shooting forward in an instant!

"Promotion! Sword Mastery, Three-Star High-Rank!"

The fleeting sequence of movements left the audience stunned...

"Rong Taotao!" In the distance, Guan Cang’s voice suddenly boomed. "You..."

"FIGHT!!!" It was a nearly hoarse battle cry, coming from the distant Gao Lingwei, who was sprawled on the ground, covered in frost and snow, unable to even stand.

If this were a normal fight, Guan Cang would have been mentally prepared and perhaps wouldn’t have hesitated for even a second.

But at this moment, Guan Cang truly hadn’t expected that Gao Lingwei—already blasted away by the Star Wave Stream and collapsed on the ground—would still dare to open the Snow Prison Arena!?

’This...’

Guan Cang’s attack faltered for a moment, and in that instant of hesitation, Guan Qiong was plunged into an abyss of eternal damnation...

As he flew backward, in the nick of time, Guan Qiong violently slapped away the approaching Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, splattering blood from his palm.

But Rong Taotao, charging right at him, had already manifested another Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and swung it in a fierce uppercut!

Rong Taotao’s face was grim as he squeezed the words through his teeth: "Who! The! Hell! Do! You! Think! You! Are!!!"

"SWOOSH~"

Following the tip of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, one Lotus Petal dragged another one right out with it!

Under Rong Taotao’s extreme emotions, the Sinful Lotus, just like before, forcefully dragged the Prison Lotus out!

Even the Prison Lotus could no longer contain this utterly Arrogant Sinful Lotus!

"AHHHH..." Guan Qiong let out a bloodcurdling scream. His arms, crossed in an "X" to block in front of him, were pierced clean through by the Lotus Petals, one after the other!

And that wasn’t all!

The Lotus Petals not only pierced his left arm and right arm, but their momentum didn’t even slow as they continued forward, directly penetrating Guan Qiong’s chest.

When the turquoise Lotus Petals reappeared before the eyes of the world, they were already stained crimson with blood...

The turquoise butterfly had already become a blood-red one...

"Forfeit! Forfeit! We forfeit!!!" The faces of the Baishan Soul Martial University coaching staff changed drastically as they shot to their feet, shouting, "Stop! Rong Taotao! Stop!"

"THUD..."

Guan Qiong collapsed to the ground. Rong Taotao’s forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, his chest heaving violently, the lingering fury not yet subsided as he stared down at Guan Qiong at his feet.

’I don’t owe anyone anything!’

’I fought with my life on the line to stand in this finals arena!’

In a daze, Rong Taotao watched the two blood-stained Lotus Petals slowly float back toward him.

He reached out his own blood-stained hand toward the Lotus Petals before him...

’Likewise,’

’this, too, was earned by putting my life on the line!’
