1461-1462 LAC’s continuous attacks prevent LX from conceding, causing the Lan family to frown, while LiYY gloats over LAC’s strength. Since the match will only end when the referee intervenes, SL rolls her dragon into a ball and throws it on stage. RY stops the match to protect it, giving LX the chance to retire. RY and LiYY glare at SL, who approaches the stage to feed LX pills.
1463 LAC feels bitter since SL prevented him from killing LX, as the Lan family has surpassed the Jade Lake and is regarded as their rival. However, he rages even more, seeing SL dismiss him and carelessly feeding LX rare Master ranked pills that RY had refined for her.
1464 LAC crashes into the approaching NL and is knocked over, only for NL to walk right by him. BY and AYM worry over LX, while SL encourages his determination to kill LAC since it will help him advance.
1465 AYM is 8th ranked and has no chance against LHM, so he automatically concedes without giving LHM the chance to vent his anger towards SL on him. Despite winning, LHM is infuriated, but has no choice but to leave the stage. AYM warns SL of LHM’s hostility, so SL tells NL to defeat him.
1466-1467 Thanks to the herbs SL had given them (chapter 1255), ZiY manages to advance right before her match, and easily defeats her opponent, Ouyang Min, since they’re both at 8th rank. While BY benefits from the added immunity, immobilizing Mo Xiao Xun’s fire and ice elements. BY aims a small flame towards his head and MXX splits it with his palm, feeling uneasy. BY takes this opportunity to kick him in the stomach, having already worn him down, defeating him with his family’s treasures. SL laughs at how much fun BY is having, while only NL’s match remains. As long as his injuries have recovered, there’s nothing to worry about. Despite coughing blood, NL reassures SL, hinting that the top 7 on the ranking list will be able to explore the ancient ruins RY and the other ancestors had found while chasing after Ci Ning (chapter 1363).
1468 According to legend, humanity used to co-exist with the Demon Clan (魔族Mó Zú – Magic; chapter 1135) and was almost pushed to extinction when an expert appeared and vanquished the demons instead. However, members of the clan still appear occasional, and NL tells SL taking care of them will be her responsibility, wondering if he’d be left behind by her fast cultivation speed. Due to his injuries, the crowd is less enthused about NL’s victory. However, NL had faked the blood so SL would be concerned over him.
1469 SL tells him to continue misleading them to catch their opponents off-guard. There are seven people left to contend for the top 4. BY draws 1, telling SL he’d rather face LHM than her. ZiY draws 3 and is paired with DFX’s 4. DFX regrets not drawing SL, glaring at her hatefully. LYY runs towards him, and he coddles her.
1470 SL draws 6 and is matched with BY. LHM draws 2, while his chances of victory depend on whether he faces LAC or NL. LAC draws the blank and cheers since he can advance directly.
1471 Since NL is facing LHM, SL asks if he’s recovered, allowing rumours of his injury to spread and LHM to gain confidence. At the Southern Mountains, the odds of NL winning have become 2:1 and BY smirks since SL had rigged it. SL asks how much she’s won, leaving the management to BY, and bets it all on NL. Wanting to earn more, BY spreads rumours of NL being attacked and seriously injured by MFA.
1472 The odds rise to 4:1 against NL, while BY wants to rig his fight with SL, but she stops him, telling him to fight seriously. There is a dismal amount riding on SL and BY’s match, as people refrained from betting due to their close relationship. SL and BY stand on stage, with LYY sneering that BY would intentionally lose, only for SL to ignore her.
