3377 The Rise of Inner Demons

Moreover, she had already violated the rules. While activating her defensive spiritual artifact, she began to frantically use her spiritual power to dodge the spirit lightning attacks.

She couldn't care about the rules anymore; preserving her life felt more important.

She had tried to escape the martial arts stage earlier, but the lightning had formed high walls around it. If she tried to pass through, she would undoubtedly be struck hard by the lightning.

For the sake of her life, she dared not act rashly.

Mu Rouxuan's face was now incredibly grim. She couldn't understand why the spirit lightning talisman Qiao Mu threw possessed such destructive power.

Why had it not stopped after more than twenty lightning strikes? How many spirit lightning bolts could it possibly unleash?

This was also the question in the minds of Elder Mu, Mu Jingfeng, and others. At this moment, all the Mu family members stared at the Little Crown Princess on the martial arts stage with shock.

If, at first, they had merely watched the two youngsters' competition with a casual, trial-like attitude, not taking it too seriously, now they were observing and paying attention to their every move with full concentration.

Especially the Little Crown Princess, standing alone and motionless on the martial arts stage. Everyone's gaze was now fixed on her, as if only by doing so could they discern what kind of energy permeated this little one's body, enabling her to draw a spirit lightning talisman that defied the laws of heaven!

"Boom!"

Mu Rouxuan's steps slowed by half a beat, and her back was immediately struck by a bolt of lightning. Her defensive shield shattered instantly, and the defensive spiritual artifact in her hand clattered lifelessly to the ground.

Mu Qingya immediately cried out, "Rouxuan, what are you hesitating for! Surrender quickly!"

Surrendering was not shameful. This was originally just a family competition; losing to a peer was nothing. No one could guarantee they would never lose in their lifetime.

Mu Rouxuan understood this principle, but emotionally, she simply could not accept losing to Qiao Mu in front of everyone, especially her uncles and elders. Therefore, she didn't want to surrender, not one bit!

"What kind of talisman is this!" Mu Rouxuan spat out a bit of blood foam, then turned her head, glaring fiercely at Qiao Mu, as if she wanted to burn a hole in her face.

She hated this girl in front of her too much. Her appearance had shattered the myth of her being the exalted eldest daughter, instantly plummeting her from a genius to the bottom, turning her into an ordinary person.

Because she was overshadowed by Qiao Mu's brilliance, she, the genius eldest daughter of the Mu family, faded into obscurity, completely losing her former halo.

After this battle, whenever people spoke of the Mu family's daughters in the future, they would only talk enthusiastically about how amazing the Little Crown Princess was, and how her talisman-making art was truly unparalleled, the greatest in history!

Such hatred!

Mu Rouxuan felt a slight cramping pain in her abdomen. If she were to examine herself internally at this moment, she would surely discover that the previously cracked Spiritual Void Realm had widened its fissures considerably. A faint wisp of dark energy floated out from within the Spiritual Void Realm, like a deathly aura, wrapping around it and slowly swirling.

If she had noticed this at the moment, or had gone to Elder Mu to inquire, the Elder would certainly have been greatly shocked and would have urged her to pay serious attention.

However, she did not perceive this gloomy dark energy...

This was the initial sign of inner demons frantically growing after the Spiritual Void Realm had cracked.
