The carefree laughter of the Cao family made the major forces very uncomfortable.
The Cao family leaders were so excited that they were shaking.
"Hahaha! Alright, hurry up and bring the young miss down!"
The expressions on the faces of the heads of the other families turned even uglier.
"Look at how embarrassing they are. Where is their composure as members of the top ten great families?"
Although someone said that, that person was dying of jealousy in his heart!
"Why wasn't there such a genius in their family!"
The other forces had also completely forgotten about Shi Xunmei. They stared at Tang Qin with burning gazes. If they could recruit such a talented girl under their wing, how great of an honor would that be?
Cao Zhihong did not comfort Shi Xunmei this time. Instead, she stared at Tang Qin with a dark expression on her face. She was now wearing defensive-type magic artifacts on both her hands. Everyone thought that the Canglan Kingdom was rich, but in fact, she was just trying to cover up her missing finger!
This finger had been bitten off when she was digging out Tang Qin's phoenix bone.
"Why did Cao Xinrui become as disgusting as that b*tch?" Cao Zhihong murmured.
Her gaze was filled with killing intent. It did not matter who it was. Anyone who dared to block her daughter's path to glory should die!
Tang Qin came down from the beast battle arena and looked in the direction of the high platform. She was looking at Cao Zhihong and her daughter from a distance. She was thinking about how she could save her spirit beast! Even if she could not kill Shi Xunmei, she had to cut off the connection between Shi Xunmei and her spirit beast. Otherwise, she would not be able to save her spirit beast...
Just as she was pondering this matter, the judge announced the rules for tomorrow expressionlessly, "The second round is divided into the attacking side and the defending side. The attacking side will still be decided by drawing lots, while the defending side will be decided by the attacking side."
The contestants were already starting to get nervous.
The judge patted the box with the name list again and called out their names one by one.
The Cao family's leaders were in a very good mood now. They looked at Tang Qin leisurely and proudly,
"Xinrui, if you aren't chosen as part of the attacking side, no one will dare to choose you as the defending side."
The members of the Cao family also echoed those sentiments, "Of course, who would dare to pick a fight with our young miss now! "
"I think our young miss is about as strong as the princess. The princess just happens to have a slightly stronger phoenix bone..."
Someone could not help but say.
After Tang Qin defeated the qilin, everyone was feeling very arrogant and now believed that the phoenix divine beast was not undefeatable.
Tang Qin possessed the ability to make them feel proud.
"The next attacker is Cao Xinrui from the Cao family."
The participants' expressions changed. One had to know that some of the stronger ones would choose the weaker ones to ensure that they would advance.
Tang Qin walked up to the arena with a calm expression. The drowsy people among the major forces around the arena were instantly jolted awake.
"Who will you choose to be your opponent?"
The judge pointed at the remaining names.
Tang Qin did not speak. She raised his hand and gathered her spiritual power, which quickly turned into a sharp sword.
"Condensing spiritual power into a weapon! Didn't she just start cultivating?" A teacher from the Huanghe sect crushed his teacup in disbelief.
The people from the Huangshan sect even stood up in order to get a better look.
"Not everyone can condense their spiritual power to form a weapon when they have just started cultivating. This woman is so gifted that it's shocking!"
However, what was even more terrifying was that...
Tang Qin actually stabbed the sword into the name on the ground that read, "Shi Xunmei, Princess of the Canglan Kingdom"!
"Pfft!"
One of the Cao family leaders had just taken a sip of tea. He spat it out when he saw this!
He did not even bother to wipe his mouth before rushing over to help bring "Cao Xinrui" back. This was nonsense! He felt that she was too arrogant, and did not understand the strength of the phoenix divine beast.
Yin Xiyan looked at Tang Qin and could not stop himself from clapping and laughing.
"Well done! The stronger the opponent, the better! I can't stand people who like to bully the weak!"
Yan Nuanzhi's face stiffened when she heard this, and the way she looked at Tang Qin also changed.
Shi Xunmei laughed. "Does she really believe that she's amazing?"
"Since she dared to compete with me despite only having just started cultivating, I'll have her experience what death is like!"
Shi Xunmei was very confident in her own strength.
After one's opponent was chosen, it could not be changed. The Cao family could only accept the reality of the situation. After thinking for a while, the family leaders pulled "Cao Xinrui" aside and said, "After today onward, you're going to come with us to the main house."
Tang Qin hesitated, but she still nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
Shi Xunmei must have set her sights on her by now. If she continued to stay in the royal palace, her hands and feet would be bound. It would be better to go to the Cao family's residence first to buy time.
"Alright!" The Cao family leaders became even more satisfied with her when they heard her response.
As soon as Tang Qin finished speaking, Yin Xiyan came over again. "Little girl, hurry up and fight me!"
