Chapter 4140: 4.1740 To Trap Someone, Of Course

"Royal Academy's Student Qiao Mu, Splendor Academy's Hong Shang, both of you, please ascend the stage immediately!"

As host Niu Niu's high-pitched, excited shout rang out, the crowd immediately surged, with roars and shouts echoing continuously.

Surprisingly, half the people in the arena nervously stood up, raising their arms and cheering the little Crown Princess's name.

Student Qiao, who had been constantly dozing off, suddenly felt a strange surge of energy. She blinked, looking at the dense crowd around her.

Young Master Qin couldn't help but sigh, pressing a hand to his forehead. "Oh dear, look at Qiao Qiao's pulling power. She hasn't even entered the arena yet, and the whole place is already excited."

"Exactly, exactly. It seems everyone is like me," Qin Jiu exclaimed with a hint of excitement. "Everyone's waiting to watch this battle!"

Two figures, whoosh, whoosh, rapidly shot onto the rotating arena from the directions of the Royal Academy and Splendor Academy, respectively.

"Splendor Academy's Hong Shang."

"Royal Academy's Qiao Mu."

"Please enlighten me!" Qiao Mu and Hong Shang simultaneously bowed, then swiftly soared into the air.

Hong Shang's first move was a palm strike imbued with sixty percent of her divine power, which she sent flying forward.

Vast divine power, enveloping a cluster of flames, flashed in her palm.

If it were anyone else, they would naturally be sent flying by her palm.

However, Qiao Mu was no ordinary person. Seeing the palm strike flying towards her, she immediately leaped into the air, soaring forward, and expressionlessly received the blow.

After a resounding boom, both their hair flared out, and their robes fluttered. They were swept by a fierce gust of wind, their clothes flapping loudly, and their sleeves billowing.

They met and parted in an instant. Hong Shang's expression changed slightly in surprise. She reached out to rub her slightly numb right arm, then abruptly looked up at Qiao Mu.

"You're not a Level Three Spirit Master?"

How was that possible? How could a Level Three Spirit Master withstand such a palm strike from her, Hong Shang?

"Evidently," Qiao Mu drew a black measuring ruler from her Sea of Consciousness, hovering in mid-air. Her eyes sparkled with a keen light, revealing a hint of excitement, like finding a worthy opponent.

This woman before her, putting aside her arrogant attitude from before, her cultivation was still impressive.

It was rare to encounter a young woman whose cultivation could be on par with hers. Naturally, it was an opportunity for a good sparring session.

"You!" A look of disbelief flashed in Hong Shang's eyes. "What exactly is your cultivation level?"

Qiao Mu blinked, then removed the breath-concealing talisman hanging from her waist.

In an instant.

Everyone only saw the little girl's aura suddenly surge, her cultivation rapidly and fiercely advancing.

A vast divine power radiated from her, shining brightly, and a cold light flickered in her eyes.

"Take a move from me first!" Qiao Mu lightly kicked off the ground, her suspended figure soaring several feet higher into the air.

Faster than words could describe, dozens of fire lines swept down from the measuring ruler, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, like exploding fireworks, all simultaneously assailing Hong Shang.

Hong Shang quickly extended her hand to deploy a fire spirit defense shield, and with a solemn expression, drew out her long sword from her Sea of Consciousness to block horizontally.

Over a dozen fire lines wrapped around her with fierce speed.

Through the fire spirit defense shield, they emitted loud, booming cracks like exploding bamboo.

Hong Shang retreated several steps, a look of disbelief appearing on her face. "Level Two Divine Master?"

No, it wasn't. Her cultivation looked like a Level Two Divine Master, but the extent of her divine power was comparable to a Level Five or Six?

How could this be?!

"Why were you wearing a breath-concealing talisman?" Hong Shang gritted her teeth and asked furiously.

Qiao Mu looked down at her, her expression unhurried and calm. "To trap someone, of course."

What else could it be for?
