Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2315: I Must Win!
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
The Nine-Tailed Phantom blinked into existence and pounced towards Kong Yanliang.
Now, the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi is no longer just a single skill, but a complete combat unit. This seemingly ordinary pounce, when paired with the sharp claws of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, is already an attack comparable to ordinary Immortal Law.
"Golden Goblet Shielding the Moon!"
Kong Yanliang snorted softly, and the small Golden Goblet suddenly inverted two feet above his head, pouring down a radiant light to form a cone-shaped screen, with numerous patterns flowing across it.
The claws of the Nine-Tailed Phantom struck, emitting a piercing "sizzle" sound.
The light screen remained undamaged, but where it was struck, a black flame rose up and instantly spread over the entire claw of the Nine-Tailed Phantom.
The Nine-Tailed Phantom wailed and quickly retreated, escaping outside the range of the light screen.
Yet, the black flame, like a bone-clinging affliction, continued to spread over its claw, threatening to completely burn the Nine-Tailed Phantom to ashes.
Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth, and the Divine Concealment Sword sped forth, slicing off the claw engulfed in black flame at the root.
Fortunately, the Demon Fox is only a phantom, so cutting it off only loses some Flower Energy, which can be gathered again. If its real body were to attack, it would probably end up disabled.
Before Ye Haochuan could restore the broken claw of the Nine-Tailed Phantom, the giant sword had already changed trajectory, sweeping horizontally towards him.
Ye Haochuan dared not be careless and hurriedly controlled the Nine-Tailed Phantom to leap, using a step on the sword’s body to propel itself away.
But just as the remaining three legs of the Nine-Tailed Phantom landed on the giant sword, it too erupted with boundless black flames, whose intensity was a notch higher than that on the light screen.
Most critically, the black flames had an adhesive effect, making it impossible for the Nine-Tailed Phantom’s legs to move at all.
"Forgot to tell you, this sword is called Flame Demon, crafted by the same Refinement Master as the Golden Goblet!" Kong Yanliang’s face showed a hint of pride.
"I really underestimated you!"
Ye Haochuan’s expression turned cold, his mouth curled as he said, "But I mentioned, I must win this round!"
He indeed had to win, to avoid being torn to pieces by Tang Yong and others if he were thrown off the stage, and also to fulfill the task entrusted by Shentu Fu.
"Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!"
With Ye Haochuan’s light cry, the Nine-Tailed Phantom suddenly lifted its head in a furious roar, its aura surging violently. The nine tails that seemed soft, in that instant transformed into nine unparalleled sharp blades.
The tips of the blades shone with a cyan cold light, and the bodies of the swords were enveloped in fiery red flames.
With several "swish" sounds, the Nine-Tailed Swords, moving at a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye, swiftly stabbed towards Kong Yanliang.
Ultimately, the tail swords are the essence of the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi, the most enhanced existence. The pouncing, so to speak, is not a true cultivation technique and cannot compare to the tail swords.

The light screen hardly resisted the tail swords’ attack, and was instantly pierced through. As for the black flames, they were blocked by the flames attached to the tail swords and would not show their might anytime soon.
"How could it be? This Golden Goblet is a High-Level Immortal Artifact!" Watching the nine tail swords hovering just inches away, Kong Yanliang’s initially calm demeanor was suddenly filled with terror and disbelief.
His greatest reliance for entering the third round was this sword and goblet. Using these two offensive and defensive treasures, combined with the troublesome black flames, he rendered his opponents powerless.
He would never have expected to lose despite Ye Haochuan being heavily injured.
"I lost!" After a long pause, he finally spoke with a bitter laugh.
He did not rage or curse, showing great composure, as he put away the Golden Goblet and Flame Demon Sword, and slowly walked off the Four Venerable Platform.
Ye Haochuan quite liked Kong Yanliang, smiling slightly as he also turned and went back.
His face was much worse than when he went into battle, indicating he had consumed quite a bit during this match.
It’s fortunate that he just upgraded the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi; otherwise, with his current condition, dealing with Kong Yanliang would have been nearly impossible.
Tang Yucheng was overjoyed to see Ye Haochuan victorious, laughing as he said, "Good boy, you really hid your power well; last time against the seven tails, you didn’t use such a formidable cultivation technique!"
"This cultivation technique wasn’t that powerful before!" Ye Haochuan casually replied, and then quickly sat cross-legged to repair his injuries as fast as possible.
Before the competition began today, Chen Man explained that today’s contest differed from the previous two days and would consist of two rounds. He definitely did not want to fight the next round in this state.
Being the first to compete wasn’t without benefit, since he could now rest assured and recuperate, just waiting for the next round of competition to begin.
The Soul Absorption Jewel had been taken out long ago, but the remaining soul power on it was already insufficient, making repair very slow.
Sitting there all morning, the first round of contests finally ended at noon.
Tang Yucheng’s strength was indeed formidable, easily making it to the fourth round.
Now there were fewer than fifty people left on the Four Venerable Platform. The fifth round of matches would essentially lock in the top twenty. The selection meeting would only take the top five, so barring any surprises, the contests should fully conclude by tomorrow.
Ye Haochuan’s soul wounds still hadn’t healed, but they had slightly improved. He now stood, waiting for Chen Man to call his name.
This time, the first match featured Ju Yuqu, whose opponent was also a strong figure on the Qingfeng List, ranked eighty-three, a few places higher than Tang Yucheng.
But this cultivator only lasted two or three moves in Ju Yuqu’s hands before being directly knocked off.
The spectators below watched this scene, already admiring Ju Yuqu to an extraordinary degree. No fewer than a hundred beautiful young women had starry eyes yelling that they wanted to give birth to his monkeys.
Actually, this wasn’t Ju Yuqu’s first time so powerfully defeating an opponent, but his previous opponents weren’t on the Qingfeng List, so the sensation wasn’t quite as big.
As for Tang Yucheng, this time he finally encountered a strong adversary, ranked seventy-fourth on the Qingfeng List, more than ten places higher than him, a super expert.
Tang Yucheng exerted all his efforts, ultimately using the Explosive Demon Elemental Pill to narrowly win.
When the entrance selection meeting started, Chen Man clearly stated that all means could be used, this Explosive Demon Elemental Pill was naturally a normal method.
But the side effects of the Explosive Demon Elemental Pill were really too great. After the match, Tang Yucheng was like a deflated balloon, collapsing, akin to a pile of rotten mud.
This exhaustion in terms of expenditure, it’s quite difficult to quickly compensate with medical skills. Ye Haochuan could only give him a few Benefit Spirit Pills and Infant Nurturing Pills, then use the Seven Treasures Needles to accelerate his recovery as much as possible.
Fortunately, he had no match below, giving him enough time to recover. As for how much he would have recovered by tomorrow’s match, it depended on his luck.
The match eventually reached Ye Haochuan. His opponent, lo and behold, was another figure on the Qingfeng List.
"Qi Xiaoqin, ranked seventy-one on the Qingfeng List, actually higher than Tang Yucheng’s opponent!"
Upon hearing the opponent’s name, Ye Haochuan’s expression became serious, inwardly cursing his bad luck.
He hadn’t yet returned to peak condition, now facing such a strong enemy, he truly couldn’t guarantee a win.
