Cui Haoyan looked at Gong Shaoqing in astonishment. He had always wanted to compete with Gong Shaoqing and determine who was stronger. However, he didn't expect Gong Shaoqing to break through to the Innate Realm before him.
Although Cui Haoyan had not yet stepped into the Innate Realm, he understood the vast difference between the Profound Yuan Realm and the Crimson Realm.
It seemed that he had to quickly improve his own strength. He didn't want to keep falling behind Gong Shaoqing like this.
"Baili Hongzhuang, didn't you also break through to the third stage of the Crimson Realm?" Lu Huaiyan turned around with a smile. Seeing the progress of the students, he was in a good mood as well.
The other students couldn't see it, but as their mentor, Lu Huaiyan could easily see the progress of Baili Hongzhuang and Gong Shaoqing.
It seemed that both of them attached great importance to this final competition. It was because they valued it enough that they were able to break through under such circumstances.
With Lu Huaiyan's words, everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall on Baili Hongzhuang. They didn't expect her to break through again.
"Hongzhuang, you're improving too fast. It's too discouraging for us," Zhan Yunfeng said helplessly. Among them, Baili Hongzhuang was the youngest, yet her cultivation level was the highest, which was truly disheartening.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "I have to thank the Elemental Fruits I obtained in the ruins. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such great progress."
With her talent in cultivation, her progress wouldn't be slow. However, she had practiced for a very short time, so there was still a considerable distance to catch up with some others.
Zhan Yunfeng and the others smiled. They understood that Baili Hongzhuang was being modest.
Baili Hongzhuang's ability to reach such a realm was undoubtedly aided by the treasures in the ruins, but her own efforts couldn't be ignored either.
Under Huan Chu You's guidance, Baili Hongzhuang and the others finally arrived at the Imperial Martial Arena. However, when they saw the grandeur of the arena, astonishment flashed in everyone's eyes.
The Imperial Martial Arena resembled a gigantic colosseum, with a massive square stage at the center. It was made of extremely hard rock and surrounded by railings.
Near those railings, Baili Hongzhuang could clearly sense a fluctuation of energy. Obviously, there was a protective barrier in place near the railings.
If the fluctuations on the stage became too intense and posed a threat, the protective barrier would immediately activate to ensure the safety of the spectators.
Surrounding the stage was a circular, stepped platform where all the onlookers sat, ensuring that everyone could clearly see the battles on the stage.
At this moment, the stands were already filled with spectators. Such a lineup could only be described as spectacular.
Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment upon seeing this scene.
"The Imperial Family of Qingxiao Nation really went all out. This martial arena is truly impressive," Bai Junyu exclaimed.
Gong Shaoqing coldly glanced at the martial arena. "This feeling is just like watching monkeys perform."
Baili Hongzhuang didn't say anything, but she also agreed with Gong Shaoqing's words.
The people sitting in the stands were all the dignitaries of Qingxiao Nation, and in their eyes, this final competition was nothing more than a show.
She didn't like this feeling, but many people enjoyed being the center of attention.
