In the Meeting Hall
Yura (serious face, eyes filled with worry):
"We need to cast defensive spells to isolate them from the Second Elder."
Xu Jian (kicks the door violently and bursts in laughing):
"Don't interfere between me and my little game! I'll play with the Second Elder alone. No one else."

Yura (glaring at him angrily):
"How dare you make decisions on your own?!"
Xu Jian (interrupting with disdain, his gaze piercing):
"Oh, and you think you can challenge this Emperor? I lived through poverty and danger. And you? A pampered girl who's only tasted a petty downfall. Go sit in your place and don't speak of a man who's walked roads you've never even seen."
Yura (face flushing with anger, unable to find a response):
"So you have a plan? What is it?"
Xu Jian (smirking):
"I'll tell you minutes before the tournament begins. You'll love it."

Three Days Later
The crowd floods the grand arena. Family banners wave high, and cheers erupt as the participants enter.
Announcer (booming voice):
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Jade Family's Grand Tournament! Today begins the first round: Speed!"
Xu Jian (smiling confidently, eyeing the ingredients):
"Alright… let's see what they've prepared for me."
He begins to move the ingredients swiftly, lifting them with smooth, precise gestures. The crowd watches in awe.
Second Elder (watching wide-eyed):
"What is this? I've never seen a technique like that!"
Xu Jian (speaking calmly while refining the elixir):
"Oh, are you afraid now, old man? This esteemed one decides when to lose and when to win."
Second Elder (clenching his fists, speaking mockingly):
"Hahaha, you almost scared me, fool! Watch me now—and witness how a true Cardinal triumphs!"

Final Round
Announcer:
"It's time for the final round! Each participant may choose their own ingredients. Even the Second Elder must pass to claim the ultimate title!"
Xu Jian (grinning slyly):
"Just as I asked for… Let's see how this goes."
Xu Jian begins refining the elixir, chanting ancient spells and infusing the ingredients with a sinister energy. His body glows with a blue light, releasing a powerful energy aura.
Xu Jian (raising his hand):
"I summon the Celestial Emperor, to enlighten this mortal realm!"
The crowd gasps in shock, some trembling.
Spectator:
"What is this?! How did he summon such a being?!"
A massive shadow appears— a man with glowing yellow eyes and an aura of lightning surrounding him.
Celestial Emperor (looking down at Xu Jian):
"Who summoned me?"
Xu Jian (raising his head confidently):
"I did, your master. I want a fragment of your heavenly flame to refine this elixir."
Celestial Emperor:
"And why would I grant you that?"
Xu Jian:
"Because I'm about to use your technique. Watch me create something unparalleled."
Second Elder (watching in disbelief):
"This can't be real… How is he doing this?!"
Xu Jian (holding the final vial, smiling):
"I've won."
Crowd whispers among themselves:
"What is that elixir? It's shining in all the colors of the rainbow!"
Second Elder (trying to keep his composure):
"You won't scare me, boy!"
Xu Jian (mocking):
"So? Will you test your luck—or crawl back to your cave?"
Judge (examining the elixir):
"I can't classify this… It's legendary… Eleventh-tier power?!"
Second Elder (screaming):
"Impossible! This is not possible!"

Among the Crowd
Head of the Cardinal Family (with clear intent to kill):
"He must die. We cannot allow that child to live."
Xu Jian (lifting his face with a smug grin):
"Oh? Want to try your luck? Come on then."

The Final Battle
Cardinal Head (charging):
"I'll end your life here and now!"
Xu Jian (activates his Absolute Domain):
"Come, let's play our little game."
A massive, multicolored aura bursts from Xu Jian's body, causing everyone in the arena to tremble, a wave of inexplicable weakness washing over them.
