The competition ended, and Ye Xuan's fierce aura rapidly retracted as he slowly descended, the dragon scales on his body also gradually dissipating.
After he landed, Ling Qianxue immediately appeared by his side and supported him, whispering, "Are you alright?"
"No harm done."
Ye Xuan nodded his head. He was just severely drained of his True Qi, and the battle with Dugu Hao had truly been more ferocious and intense than all the previous ones, forcing him to give it his all. Moreover, his cultivation was ultimately two levels lower than Dugu Hao's, and if not for the cultivation of a divine-level cultivation technique, he would have likely been overwhelmed earlier.
"I lost. But don't think that I'll always lose to you. Next time, I will find a chance to defeat you."
