Subsequently, four curtain-like white streaks silently closed in on Qian Duoduo from four directions.
These four curtains were more than ten times the size of ordinary curtains.
Qian Duoduo feigned ignorance, and only when the curtains completely surrounded him, leaving nowhere to escape, did his expression drastically change.
He opened his mouth wide and took out three Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Puppets, holding high-grade artisan artifacts in front of him for protection.
As the curtains slowly drew near, Gong Dian and Sima Qiankun found themselves disagreeing.
Sima Qiankun wanted to jump out, sneak closer, and deliver a finishing blow to Qian Duoduo.
However, Gong Dian was unwilling.
Before they could scrutinize their dispute, the four curtains firmly pressed against Qian Duoduo's body.
Immediately, Qian Duoduo felt a tingling sensation all over his body; his scalp and soles, chest and back, and the Upper, Middle, and Lower Spirit Seas seemed to merge together.
The Purple Eyes in his Lower Spirit Sea began to swim joyfully, and in just a single breath, they absorbed all the lightning energy that had surged into Qian Duoduo's body.
Qian Duoduo lightly jumped into the air, then plopped down onto the ground, his body twitching continuously like a shrimp out of water.
However, his Spiritual Awareness remained focused on the movements of Sima Qiankun and Gong Dian.
As long as they came to deliver a finishing blow, Qian Duoduo would unleash a wave of Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear self-detonations on them.
However, Gong Dian steadfastly refused to advance, and Sima Qiankun lacked the courage to go alone.
They hesitated for a moment, then retreated from their ambush and disappeared from the lightning formation.
"How boring."
Qian Duoduo sighed inwardly. If only Gong Dian had thrown another bottle, how great would that be!
Not only would it allow the Purple Eyes to eat their fill, but it might even allow Qian Duoduo's true cultivation to advance to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Since they wouldn't show themselves, the only way to engage them in a major battle would be to wait for the Elite Battle.
After walking about a hundred zhang further, Qian Duoduo saw the exit of the valley.
As he stepped out of the valley, the Copper Extreme Old Ancestor's copper Puppet pointed to the left and instructed, "Go to the platform and wait to enter the Elite Battle."
To his left, there was a stone platform ten zhang high.
On the stone platform, five people were already sitting cross-legged.
These five people were all Protectors of the Silver Axe Foundation Establishment.
Sima Qiankun and Gong Dian were among them. They sat steadily, with their eyes closed, feigning an air of nonchalance.
Qian Duoduo cupped his hands towards the copper Puppet and slowly walked towards the stone platform.
Upon reaching the platform, as soon as Qian Duoduo sat down cross-legged, he spoke in a low voice, "Senior Brothers, I still have a few Cold Flame Pure Snow Spears, high-grade artisan artifacts that counter fire attacks. If anyone needs them, you can find me. As for the price, it's negotiable, and it varies by peak."
Sima Qiankun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, felt his eyelids twitch a few times, but in the end, he held back from opening his eyes.
The Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear was specifically designed to counter him.
The more people who possessed it, the more disadvantaged he would be.
Qian Duoduo's stance clearly indicated he was going against him.
After a while, Guan Xuansheng, Ming Huanhuan, Fei Ming, Pang Yunhan, and others emerged from the valley one by one.
After saluting the copper Puppet, they also walked onto the stone platform and sat down around Qian Duoduo.
As Ming Huanhuan sat down, he quietly said to Qian Duoduo, "Senior Brother, I'm the eighth to go on stage. Is there still hope to enter the top ten?"
The fact that all eleven of them had entered the top hundred gave him a sense of unreality.
Qian Duoduo glared at him, "What do you mean 'hope'? As long as you complete one condition, you will definitely enter the top ten."
"What condition?"
"Sell three Cold Flame Pure Snow Spears here."
Qian Duoduo simply explained the condition to him, and Ming Huanhuan immediately nodded, "Such a good thing, I'll do it right away."
After speaking, he immediately walked up to a Protector, "Senior Brother, Left Eye Peak likes to play with fire, and they're difficult to deal with in the Elite Battle. Senior Brother, how about getting a Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear as a precaution?"
Sima Qiankun's mouth twisted in anger. However, he could do nothing.
After hearing Ming Huanhuan's sales pitch, that Protector didn't open his eyes and shook his head.
Ming Huanhuan was not discouraged and walked to the next Protector.
At this time, more and more Protectors walked out of the valley, and there were fifty or sixty Protectors on the stone platform.
"Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear, specially designed to counter fire attacks, want one?"
The voices of Ming Huanhuan and others constantly echoed through the crowd.
Qian Duoduo secretly chuckled. "Just these words are enough to vex Sima Qiankun."
"I'll take one."
Suddenly, a Protector loudly agreed.
Instantly, everyone on the stone platform looked at the person who spoke, and even Sima Qiankun abruptly opened his eyes.
He wanted to see who dared to openly challenge Left Eye Peak.
