"I won! I really won!" The audience wept with joy, not knowing how to describe the ecstasy in their hearts.
Win, that invincible monster, Xiang Long, who swept through everything, was overthrown by Xiang Nan!
Xiang Nan had killed Xiang Long, who enjoyed killing Blue Tide Continent martial artists and crushed him to the semi-finals by all means!
Even Luo Yuan and the others couldn't help but shout loudly with their true arms, roaring out the anger that had been squeezed out of their hearts for days.
Who said that our Blue Tide Continent is empty! Who said that we could only be kneaded by Xiang Long at will and die violently with our fists!
We also have experts! There were also people who could slaughter Xiang Long with their sabers!
Xiang Long was dead, and Xiang Nan was brought back to Zaohua Peak by half a gourd. On the field, Elder Shi Beihong still announced the winner and the list of the finals according to the rules.
The next battle, which was also the final battle of the Twelve Clans Joint Examination, would begin here.
The two sides were: the Nature Sect's Xiang Nan, and the Heavenly Profound Sect's Yi Dong!
Outside the arena, Yi Dong held his right hand behind his back and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that this expedition to the Blue Tide Continent would be unexpectedly tragic."
Five Heavenly Profound Sect disciples, Xu Bufan, Jiang Cheng, Spread out , and Xiang Long, all died in battle!
This result greatly exceeded Yi Dong's expectations.
A wisp of excitement finally appeared on Yi Dong's calm face. He licked his lips and said, "I thought that I would crush him all the way down this time and easily take off the laurel crown."
"But this is also good. This is the battle I want. This is the taste of the blood I desire."
Haoran Sect, Fortune Peak .
Half a gourd was used to treat Xiang Nan's injuries, but his expression was heavy.
"Master, how is Xiang Nan?" A few Fortune Peak Fourth Stage disciples followed beside the half gourd and asked anxiously.
At this moment, Xiang Nan's body was floating in mid-air. Half of the gourd was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He raised both of his hands high up, and two streams of different colors of air flowed out from both of his hands.
The two streams of air gently rotated around Xiang Nan, continuously helping him recover from his injuries.
Half a gourd shook its head and said, "The situation is not optimistic. Right now, Xiang Nan's biggest problem is not his injuries."
"He has used Caiyue girl's Sun God Technique many times. Logically speaking, he should have already started to suffer a backlash by now, but look."
When the disciples looked over, they did not see the backlash effect of the Sun God Technique.
A disciple anxiously asked, "Why is that? How is Junior Brother Xiang Nan now?"
Half a gourd took a deep breath and said, "A martial artist's physical body is far stronger than a mortal's. Even if his body is pierced through or even his limbs are cut off, as long as he receives timely treatment, he can still recover."
"But there is one thing that is very difficult to recover, and that is the meridians!"
"I don't know what kind of martial skill Xiang Nan used to increase his strength by a large margin. He used the third level of Origin Return to forcefully shake his opponent at the fifth level of Origin Return."
"But the consequence of doing so is that his meridians are cracked inch by inch! It's not far from being broken inch by inch."
"It is precisely because his meridians are riddled with holes that the backlash of the Heavenly Yang Divine Art is unable to appear."
Backlash was the remnant of the sun's power that was out of control. It rampaged through the meridians in a martial artist's body and burned to its heart's content. However, if his muscles and meridians were severely injured, even if he wanted to backlash, he would not be able to do so.
"If this continues, even if Xiang Nan's cultivation is completely crippled, he won't be able to cultivate martial arts for the rest of his life." Half a gourd sighed.
The Zaohua Peak disciples finally understood the seriousness of the matter. No wonder the half-gourd that had always been laughing in life had become so serious.
"Then what should we do? Master, can't we save Xiang Nan? He's still going to participate in the finals in three days." The disciples were extremely anxious, scratching their ears and cheeks.
"Old Gourd, if you have any ideas, just tell me." Xu Caiyue was the one who walked in.
"Greetings, Peak Master!" The Fortune Peak disciples hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed.
Xu Caiyue waved her hand and said, "All of you, get out!"
Those disciples didn't dare to disobey and hurriedly ran out, fearing that Xu Caiyue would lose her only disciple and lose her temper.
Half of the gourd sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Caiyue girl, you should know that the injuries to your meridians are the most difficult to repair."
"Meridians are the channels through which Yuan Qi circulates. If the spiritual sea is destroyed, then you only need to start from scratch."
"But his meridians have been destroyed. Even if he still has a powerful spiritual sea, his Yuan Qi has nowhere to go."
"Cut the crap!" Xu Caiyue scolded coldly, "I understand all of this! I only need one sentence from you, can you save my disciple?"
Half a gourd took a sip of liquor and said, "There is one way, but it may not work."
"Xiang Nan's meridians have all been split open. It can be said that they are severed. If there is a slight gap, then every inch of them will be broken."
"Therefore, if we want to repair his meridians, we must burn all of his meridians at the same time!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xu Caiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "If all her meridians are burned, how can I save her?"
Half a gourd shook its head. "No one else can do it, but I can do it. I can burn his meridians and allow them to wander through the depths of destruction and rebirth."
"But whether his meridians can be reborn after bathing in fire depends on his willpower and the strength of his talent."
"Old Gourd, to be honest, how many times have you used this method? How many times have you succeeded?" Xu Caiyue asked.
"I only used it three times in my life! But I failed all three times. Caiyue girl, this decision is very serious. It must be decided by your master on behalf of Xiang Nan," said the half-gourd.
Xu Caiyue blushed. She looked at Xiang Nan in midair and said, "Xiang Nan, you decide. Do you want to try?"
"Let me tell you, if you are determined to try, you will definitely die if you fail. If you do not try, you will still be able to save your life, but you will never be fated to martial arts again."
"If you want to try, blink your eyes three times."
In midair, Xiang Nan weakly opened his eyes and said, "I … want to try."
"Alright!" Half a gourd jumped up, "If you delay one more minute, you'll be in more danger. Now, I'll inject two streams of fire into your body!"
The half-gourd palm landed on Xiang Nan's spiritual sea, while the left palm landed on Xiang Nan's head.
"This is the firepower I used to refine pills. Next, these two firepower will burn your meridians as soon as possible," said the half-gourd in an extremely fast voice as it instantly rushed into the eight meridians of Xiang Nan's Odd Meridians.
"And for the next three days and nights, you will have to endure the pain of this fire at all times."
"If you survive and revive, your meridians will rise by leaps and bounds! If you fail, you will never be able to recover."
Half of the gourd landed cross-legged and raised its hands slightly. As the two hands slid in midair, Xiang Nan's body suddenly began to slowly rotate.
Half a gourd controlled the firepower in Xiang Nan's body and continuously refined his meridians. "Kid Xiang Nan, I hope your talent is strong enough to endure."
At this moment, Xiang Nan felt like he was bathed in the flames of purgatory, and his pain was indescribable.
Xu Caiyue stood still at the door. Her eyes stayed with Xiang Nan for a moment and said, "Xiang Nan, Master is watching over you."
"Don't worry, if this old gourd can't save you, I'll slash him to death with one palm and then commit suicide. The three of us will be companions on the road to hell."
Hearing this, half of the gourd grinned.
