#137 - The one who has a bye this time is... Oh wow?
"Little Sister, how did it go?"
Xu Chengxian was still unaware that the black snake, whom he had tricked quite miserably, had decided to return the favor.

He slept soundly for a short while until Lingxiao came down from the arena, then he woke up with a sense of it and asked.
"I lost," Lingxiao said with a smile.
At this time, the incense stick in the incense burner was almost burned to the root.
Looking again, Lingxiao and Yu Feilong were actually the last ones to come out.
"What a pity, just a little bit more," Lingxiao said, raising her eyebrows.
If she could have successfully dragged it out until the incense stick burned out, then she could have pulled Yu Feilong down with her, eliminating him.
Removing the strongest one and clearing the biggest obstacle to winning the championship for Ling Yunzi and Xu Chengxian.
"However, Yu Feilong is at least crippled by half."
Even if she didn't achieve that, she still exhausted him for nearly an hour.
The two of them definitely weren't chatting inside the arena.
In the past, as a female emperor, she had mastered countless combat skills and divine powers. Although limited by her cultivation base, many could not be used, but those that could, coupled with her planning, were enough to make Yu Feilong unable to defend against them.
Moreover, facing the peak of the Great Demon realm, Lingxiao almost gave up the opportunity to advance to the next battle, going all out without regard for losses.
And Yu Feilong, as the strongest one in the field, can be said to be determined to obtain the Flood Dragon's essence blood, or rather, the identity of the Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis's son-in-law.
He would deliberately avoid using divine powers or combat skills that required a large amount of magic power.
In this way, he fell into Lingxiao's calculations.
"Your Majesty's plan is brilliant in that it accurately predicted this point," Ling Yunzi said.
Sometimes it's like this, being too cautious and thinking you have long-term vision, but never considering that it will prevent you from reaching that long-term future.
However, they had to consider it this way, otherwise, it would only benefit others.
Because there is a saying: if you don't calculate, you will suffer.
"My cultivation is still too low. I hope the guy Yu Feilong meets in the next match can put in some effort," Lingxiao said.
The difference in strength between two small realms is not so easy to close.
Unless using some means that require a great price, otherwise she can't do anything to him.
However, this is not a battle of life and death after all, there is no need to go to this extent.
"Old Ghost, you should have won, right?" She turned her head and asked Xu Chengxian.
"Of course," Xu Chengxian said, raising his head, "Not only did I win, but I also increased my cultivation a bit."
"You devoured and refined the other party's demonic power?"
"Yes!" Xu Chengxian raised his head, "The other party directly gave me the demon core to swallow. When I was full, he would help me for a while, and then return it to me when I could swallow it again."
"Moreover, not just once. He let me gnaw on it eight times!"
"...Did you use your bewitching talent?" Lingxiao immediately guessed what tricks he had played.
"Tsk. No fun," Xu Chengxian shook his head, "Why do you have to ruin my joke?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something.
"That's right, I almost forgot if I didn't mention it. Whether it was Hong Lie or the Black Flood Dragon, they didn't believe at first that I could directly swallow and refine the demonic power in the demon core."
"Why don't you two seem surprised by this?"
Could it be that among the human cultivators, there are many divine powers like his?
Wouldn't it be very dangerous when he goes to the human realm in the future?
"Especially you," Xu Chengxian said, referring to Ling Yunzi.
A cultivator who practices orthodox Xuanmen cultivation techniques is being too calm about his method of plundering other people's magic power and flesh to improve his cultivation, right?
It wouldn't be right to say that Zhenmoushan's attitude towards the demon race has an impact on Ling Yunzi.
There is no trace of prejudice or hatred towards the demon race on this guy.
"Who said this seat wasn't surprised?" Ling Yunzi said with a slight smile, "It's just that I think there are all kinds of wonders in the vast world. I've just become relieved."
"The fastest way to cultivate in this world is to plunder the cultivation of others."
Not only cultivation, but also flesh and blood, and even the soul.
Although it is very dangerous, there are still people who continue to create various methods to turn everything of others into their own.
"This seat's Myriad Soul Banner devours people's cultivation, without even letting go of their souls," he said to Lingxiao, "Your Majesty probably has similar methods, right?"
"I do have them, but I rarely use them," Lingxiao revealed a bit of arrogance and said, "There are countless natural treasures for me to use for cultivation, so there is no need to take such a small and winding path."
Good heavens.
Xu Chengxian was very surprised.
Not plundering the cultivation of others is not because of nobility, but because of disdain?
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," Ling Yunzi agreed very much, "Compared with collecting and refining the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, plundering the cultivation of other cultivators is indeed inferior."
There are too many hidden dangers.
Otherwise, how could he have died and disappeared?
"...Tsk."
"No wonder you guys from beginning to end don't seem to find this unacceptable."
Xu Chengxian shook his head.
Is this standard of conduct universal in this world?
If so, wouldn't it be too dangerous for him?
After all, he might be too outstanding.
"That's right, you can 'eat' others, and others can of course 'eat' you," Lingxiao was amused by the flower snake's self-deprecation, "The weak are prey to the strong, that's just how it is. Old Ghost, you are finally getting the hang of it."
"According to your logic, although I can't swallow it, I can destroy the demon cores of Hong Lie and the Black Flood Dragon, but I still returned the demon cores."
Xu Chengxian said, "Then shouldn't they thank me?"
"Didn't Hong Lie thank you?" Lingxiao asked rhetorically.
This fighting arena within the Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis's mansion.
All the great demons who participated came voluntarily.
"Why do you think there has to be such an arena here?"
It is to tell all the demon race that if you step onto the arena, your life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth is in the hands of heaven.
You can't blame others.
Suffering a loss is due to incompetence, and you can't form a grudge because of this.
"...Will they really abide by it?"
"Most of the demon race will."
Rules are rules.
If you agree to the rules beforehand and regret them afterward, you will be despised.
A place where the strong are respected.
The one with the biggest fist has the final say, but there is no shortage of stubborn people in the demon race.
And the purpose of doing this is to make everyone understand that if you can't win, admitting defeat is not shameful.
Otherwise, I don't know how many cultivators of the demon race would die from internal strife.
"Although the demon race is born with different personalities, most of them are unconventional and like to act according to their own wishes, going their own way and not wanting to be restrained, which leads them to fight at the slightest disagreement."
So most of them will take revenge on the spot.
Because they also hate trouble.
Holding a grudge and then taking revenge is very troublesome.
"But they are also very stubborn," Lingxiao smiled, "Once there was a dog demon who was tricked by a human cultivator and chased him for hundreds of years. I heard that he finally chased him to the heavenly realm."
"..." Xu Chengxian felt a little bad.
The reason why Hong Lie would thank him can be considered understood.
But the Black Flood Dragon, whose demonic power was absorbed so much by him, will definitely hold a grudge.
He tapped the back of the chair with his snake tail, thinking: "Although Blackie shouldn't chase after me relentlessly, I should still find a way to resolve it."
While they were talking, the Turtle Prime Minister on the stage pointed to the General-Calling Brush in mid-air.
A new round of battle lists has come out.
All the great demons, including those who have been eliminated, are staring at the words on the screen.
This time, there is also a line of words, and the opponent below is blank.
But it's not Ling Yunzi.
But...Xu Chengxian.
"Oh?!"
