379: Chapter 23 is full of wonders and memorable scenes.

Zhuge Qing saw that Little Fire God wasn't having a satisfying fight and decided to ignite things as well, performing a fire-type Qimen technique on the spot—Li Word: Red Chain!

Seeing Zhuge Qing actually use fire-type techniques against a fire specialist like himself, Little Fire God felt it was a massive mockery. He instantly became furious and used his ultimate trump card with all his might—Golden Crow Explosive Flame!

For a moment, it was fire against fire.

Because he was within the Qimen Formation laid out by Zhuge Qing, Little Fire God was suppressed before long.

That wasn't the focus; the focus was that the clash of the two fire forces was incredibly turbulent and spiraled out of control, and then...

The arena exploded!

The aftershocks of the flames flew directly into the audience seats.

Fortunately, the Daoists responsible for maintaining order and safety noticed the anomaly ahead of time and evacuated the audience.

Even so, some people on the field were accidentally injured, though fortunately, no one died.

Meng Li knew this beforehand and had already left before the two of them unleashed their ultimates.

The result of the match held no suspense; Zhuge Qing emerged victorious.

Afterward, Meng Li went to watch the match between Xiao Xiao and Huang Ming, focusing his attention on Huang Ming.

This was because he remembered that, like Lu Linglong, the other party hailed from the Quanzhen Longmen Baiyun Temple. The difference was that Huang Ming was a formal Disciple whose Internal Alchemy skills far surpassed Lu Linglong's, having already reached the point where he could perform Yang Soul Emergence.

The so-called "Yang Soul Emergence" is simply Soul Emergence.

Performing Soul Emergence in broad daylight, according to the settings of typical cultivation novels, is a feat only a great power at the Soul Transformation stage who has cultivated a Yang Soul could achieve.

But in the under one person world, even the Old Celestial Master cannot compare to a great power of the Soul Transformation cultivation system.

The people of the Quanzhen lineage are even less worth mentioning.

Yet, they are able to achieve Yang Soul Emergence by relying on their Internal Alchemy skills.

It must be said that every world has its own wonders.

The match between Xiao Xiao and Huang Ming proceeded just like the original plot, lasting for a long time without a result.

The two were evenly matched in physical techniques.

Regarding special techniques, Xiao Xiao's most powerful method was Ne Qi; once it hit a target, it could blast the opponent's Soul out of their body or even cause it to dissipate in a short time.

Huang Ming had been practicing Quanzhen Internal Alchemy skills for many years, so the stability of his Soul and body far exceeded that of ordinary people. At the same time, he was very skilled at resetting his Soul; as long as he focused his mind, Xiao Xiao's Ne Qi was basically useless.

However, beyond that, Huang Ming had no other methods.

Consequently, both sides fell into a stalemate and could only play a game of attrition.

Later, when the fight became truly dull, Huang Ming used the Yang Soul Emergence technique to directly attack Xiao Xiao's Soul, but he was one move short and was nearly hit by the opponent's Ne Qi.

At the critical moment, Huang Ming's Senior Brother, Liu Xingyang, appeared via Yang Soul Emergence and blocked the strike for Huang Ming, preventing his Soul from being damaged.

Subsequently, while in the state of Yang Soul Emergence, Huang Ming was brutally beaten by Liu Xingyang and chose to surrender.

Zhang Chulan and his group also attended and watched this match.

Once the match ended, they were called away by Lu Linglong.

Meng Li recalled briefly and understood that they were likely going to see the Old Celestial Master and Lu Jin to discuss the capture of Quanxing members after the Luotian Grand Ritual.

He knew the plan for this matter, so there was no need to join in the excitement.

Thus, Meng Li returned to his room on his own to digest what he had observed during the two matches.

Zhuge Qing's Wuhou Qimen.

Little Fire God's Fire Method.

Huang Ming's Internal Alchemy skills.

Xiao Xiao's Ne Qi.

Each of these techniques had its own unique merits.

Due to the short amount of time, Meng Li couldn't glimpse their full scope, but he still gained quite a lot.

By the time he finished sorting and digesting everything, the sky had already turned dark.

Meng Li intended to go eat, but then he sensed someone approaching, and then there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw that the visitor was Lu Linglong.

“What is it?” Meng Li asked.

Lu Linglong replied with a smile, “Mr. Bai, it's like this. The Luotian Grand Ritual has been going on for so long, yet we haven't all formally met. Since this round of matches has ended, we plan to have the contestants who haven't left yet get together.”

“Everyone can enjoy the moon and have a few drinks together.”

“Are you interested in joining?”

“Of course I am,” Meng Li replied with a smile.

Next would be the famous scene of Zhang Chulan's Moonlight Bird Walking. Although it was indecent, it was all for a bit of fun, so it didn't matter.

Soon, Meng Li followed Lu Linglong to the gathering site and found that quite a few people had come.

He gave a simple greeting, took a can of beer, and found a place to sit.

Just as he took a sip, Jia Zhengliang walked over.

“Jia Zhengliang.” He raised the beer in his hand and gave a simple self-introduction.

Meng Li returned the gesture, “White Sword Immortal.”

Jia Zhengliang took a sip of wine and said with interest, “Using ‘Sword Immortal’ directly as a name is quite uncommon.”

Meng Li chuckled and said, “My old man read too many novels and spent all day fantasizing about being a sword immortal, so he gave me such a name.”

Jia Zhengliang nodded slightly and then said, “I watched your match with Lu Linglong. I also use Object Manipulation, and I hope to have a match with you if there's a chance.”

“If there's a chance, definitely,” Meng Li replied casually.

Just as he finished speaking, Jia Zhengliang's phone rang.

He gave a signal and walked into the distance while answering it.

Meng Li vaguely heard that it seemed to be Jia Zhengliang's mother calling. Recalling the original plot, he realized the other party seemed to be a mama's boy and couldn't help but smile to himself.

The moment Jia Zhengliang left, there was a commotion from the crowd over there.

Meng Li looked toward the sound and saw Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Xu San, and Xu Si arriving under the lead of Zhi Jinhua.

After two matches, Zhang Chulan had already firmly established his “Shameless” persona, and he attracted most people's attention as soon as he arrived.

Before long, Zhang Chulan and the other three joined the crowd one after another.

With the mindset of watching a famous scene, Meng Li cast his gaze over.

Not long after, with his keen hearing, he heard Zhi Jinhua asking Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu for gossip regarding the Five Thunder.

Seeing this, the squinty-eyed Zhuge Qing immediately got up to leave and stated solemnly, “I have no interest in other people's gossip. I'm leaving.”

However, when he sat down in the distance, he immediately performed Wind Listening and secretly eavesdropped on the conversation between Zhi Jinhua and Zhang Lingyu.

What a “gossip-hating” Zhuge Qing!

Meng Li laughed to himself, and then he heard that Xu San and Xu Si in the distance seemed to have gotten into a conflict with someone.

He listened intently and found that the person in conflict with the two was an out-person named Wang Ergou.

Wang Ergou was Feng Baobao's opponent during the match to advance from the top thirty-two to the top sixteen. During the match, he had discovered through his own ability that Feng Baobao's Soul seemed to have been tampered with, and he had come this time to seek verification from Xu San and Xu Si.

After some testing, he determined that Xu San and Xu Si bore no ill will toward Feng Baobao and instead cared for her deeply, so he shared his discovery.

Xu San and Xu Si were incredibly surprised by what they heard.

Not long after this incident passed, the biggest famous scene of the night arrived.

Zhang Chulan stood on a large rock and said to the crowd watching the excitement below, “Do you all really want to see my Shou Gong Sha that much?”

“Hehe haha.”

“Then today, I'll let you all have a look!”

As he spoke, he began to unbutton his pants. “Come on, look!”

After he spoke, the Shou Gong Sha on his body appeared before everyone, shining with a golden light.

The famous scene, “Moonlight Bird Walking,” was born!
