Despite her defeat in today’s duel, Yan Xia did not feel a sense of loss, but rather a sense of exhilaration.

She knew the level of her combat skills and felt confident that her loyalty to Su Jingzhen, even to the point of unwavering devotion, was justified.

Her Water Spirit Saint Body placed her among the top talents in the Luo River region, but Su Jingzhen had still surpassed her by using body cultivation, which was less suitable for this environment.

This proved that her initial judgment was correct.

However, as she thought about it, Yan Xia couldn’t help but sigh again.

Yes, her current choice might be right.

However, if she hadn’t been so calculating from the beginning, the outcome might have been different.

Once upon a time, she had been so close to this dazzling man.

Su Jingzhen put down the black brick, his eyes filled with excitement.

His Netherworld Ghost Technique had now reached the level of seven afterimages.

If he could advance one more step to nine afterimages, it would be the ultimate level.

He couldn’t even imagine how fast he would become then.

Maybe with a few more small breakthroughs in his True Embryo realm, he wouldn’t need to open any more secret repositories, and he would be qualified to fight Unity Realm practitioners.

In comparison, he wasn’t particularly worried about defeating Yan Xia.

“Indeed, special bodies are extraordinary. Your Water Spirit Saint Body is even more powerful than I imagined.

If it weren’t for my breakthrough in my movement technique, it would have been almost impossible for me to defeat you.

But I still have to thank you.

Without you, my technique wouldn’t have improved so quickly.”

Su Jingzhen looked at Yan Xia with true sincerity.

Before the breakthrough, he had been desperate to achieve it.

After the breakthrough, there was a feeling of emptiness, like the aftermath of a climax.

Without waiting for Yan Xia to say anything, Su Jingzhen’s gaze shifted to the upper part of the first floor of the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda.

He knew that this was only the first floor, and there might be more wonders ahead.

But these were all inside the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda, nothing to do with him.

Seeing more would only make him jealous.

“Now, use your strongest attack on me.”

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s sudden words, Yan Xia was once again taken aback.

She didn’t quite understand what he meant.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen smiled again and said, “Your status in the Yan Clan is strong, but that’s only within the Yan Clan.

You haven’t made any significant and impressive achievements in the Luo River region. Now, with my current popularity, if you defeat me, your status will undoubtedly increase even more.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Xia was stunned, “What about you, Master Su?

If you defeat me, the Water Spirit Saint Body, the benefits you will gain will be even greater than those from defeating the Mu Family geniuses.

It must be admitted that the Heavenly Dragon Race is indeed stronger than the Yan Clan. If you can reach a higher status in the Heavenly Dragon Race, the resources you get will certainly be better.

And in the Yan Clan, I am the only fully matured Water Spirit Saint Body. Whether I win or lose, it doesn’t matter.

All the resources will still go to me.”

Her words made a lot of sense.

However, Su Jingzhen still waved his hand.

“You may not be fully aware of my status in the Heavenly Dragon Race, and I can’t reveal too much.

The resources I want are already within my grasp.

I don’t need any more publicity, and the most important thing is that I don’t want any more publicity.

The best thing is for you to come and humble me and make me blend in with the crowd.

As for your Water Spirit Saint Body, it already shines everywhere you go. This match between us, with you winning, maximizes our mutual benefits.”

Yan Xia blinked, seemingly pondering the meaning behind Su Jingzhen’s words.

Although she still didn’t fully understand, she nodded.

“If that’s what Master Su needs, I’ll certainly cooperate.”

Immediately, Yan Xia’s aura surged again.

Endless dense water vapor rose and spread through the void around her.

Su Jingzhen stepped back and activated his innate dragon scales.

His defense was at its maximum, but he stood still, ready to take the hit.

In the next instant, a translucent, ice-blue steam sword formed in front of Yan Xia.

Although it looked ethereal, the sharpness it emitted made Su Jingzhen’s skin tingle even with his full defense.

“This single target technique should be even more powerful, right?”

Seeing Yan Xia’s actions, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel anticipation.

“Water Spirit Sword!”

Yan Xia lightly shouted, and with a gentle tap on the ethereal sword hilt, the blade instantly sliced through the air and shot towards Su Jingzhen.

She did not hold back with this strike.

After all, she had already seen the strength of Su Jingzhen’s defense during their previous battle.

And this time, Su Jingzhen wanted to be seriously injured.

“Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, after a loud explosion, Su Jingzhen’s body was sent flying backwards.

His aura weakened instantly.

The defense of his innate dragon scales was pushed to the limit.

However, it was still broken by Yan Xia’s Water Spirit Sword.

Even the silver dragon scales on his chest were shattered, and blood flowed down his chest.

Su Jingzhen’s appearance was as pathetic as it could be.

“Master Su, are you okay?”

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s pitiful state, Yan Xia’s expression suddenly turned worried.

In her opinion, with Su Jingzhen’s strength he shouldn’t have been defeated so easily by a single blow.

This must have been Su Jingzhen’s intention.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. Now, please send me out.

Don’t make the people outside wait too long.”

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Su Jingzhen said with a smile.

Yan Xia nodded silently.

Without hesitation, she formed a hand seal, and Su Jingzhen felt a twist in the space around him.

Then, his figure was directly sucked in.

In the next instant, a cacophony of voices reached his ears.

When his vision cleared, he was already back in the central square of Heavenly Dragon City.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen secretly spat out another mouthful of blood, his body seemingly unable to stand still, and retreated several steps on the plaza.

Coincidentally, his retreating direction was towards Qiu Yaoyao and Xuening.

The two women’s expressions changed, and they immediately stepped forward to support him in their arms.

“Brother Su, how are you?”
