If Zhou Shucheng was truly an eighth-rank Divine Heart Priest, or even a ninth-rank, Mu Hanyan might have had a fighting chance, and they would have been amazed to witness a spectacular duel between powerful warriors. Unfortunately, Zhou Shucheng was neither eighth nor ninth-rank, but tenth-rank. For the vast majority of Divine Heart Priests in this world, the difference between ninth and tenth ranks was a huge watershed, a qualitative difference indeed.
Mu Hanyan will never have any chance of winning.
"It turns out that Zhou Shucheng has really reached the tenth level. I underestimated him before." Guan Xiujing was also a little surprised in the stands.
"Although he's not yet as strong as Mu Hanyan, he should be able to cause her considerable trouble and drain her of her fighting power," Kong Renhe said complacently, stroking his beard. He had also put in a lot of effort, making inquiries from various sources, before finally deducing Zhou Shucheng's true strength. He then rigged the draw to pair him with Mu Hanyan.
Now it seems that Zhou Shucheng did not disappoint him and his efforts were not in vain.
"Well done, well done." Guan Xiujing patted Kong Renhe on the shoulder and said with praise.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Priest." Kong Renhe was flattered. He felt like he was floating with joy at Guan Xiujing's praise, and his face was full of wrinkles from smiling.
Mu Hanyan heard every word of the discussions in the audience, but what was puzzling was that she had a relaxed smile on her face.
There were things outsiders could only speculate about, but she knew them all too well. The rule prohibiting the use of protective magic tools, and the strange lottery, were clearly aimed at her.
However, do they really think that this can make things difficult for her? They are underestimating her, Mu Hanyan!
Zhou Shucheng also heard the discussions from the audience, and he felt even more proud. After so many years of hard training, today should be the day for him, Zhou Shucheng, to make a splash.
"Mu Hanyan, it's not too late for you to admit defeat and give up now. If you wait until I take action, you won't even have the chance to regret it." Zhou Shucheng roared, his arrogance shaking the earth.
"Let's do it." Mu Hanyan didn't feel like talking nonsense with him anymore and directly drew out the Hanxiao Sword.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you. Since you want to humiliate yourself, then I'll grant your wish." Seeing that Mu Hanyan refused to wake up even when she was about to die, Zhou Shucheng lost his patience. He snorted coldly, drew his sword and slashed at Mu Hanyan.
"The huge waves are surging, moving mountains and seas!" With his clear shout, divine light surged in the air, and huge waves rolled endlessly, rolling towards Mu Hanyan in the air, as if the Milky Way was falling from the sky.
"Be careful!" Although they weren't biased towards Mu Hanyan, the audience still cried out in shock at the sight of such divine power, and some even stood up. Even the priests on the other competition platforms involuntarily withdrew their hands and looked towards the competition platform where Mu Hanyan was, their faces filled with horror.
Zhou Shucheng's technique, which unleashed a mighty wave and moved mountains and seas, was one of the five most advanced divine arts of the Life Temple. Clearly, his understanding of the laws of the universe had reached considerable depth, placing him among the elite even within the vastly powerful Life Temple.
He has the cultivation level of a tenth-rank Divine Heart Priest and has also comprehended one of the five top divine arts, "Giant Waves that Move Mountains and Seas." Apart from high priests like Guan Xiujin and Jiang Ruchu, there are probably not many people in the Temple of Life who have the strength to fight against him.
As for Mu Hanyan, she was definitely not on that list. Right now, everyone's only hope was that she wouldn't be defeated too badly, or at least that she could still survive. In the absence of a conflict of interest, sympathy for the weak was common to most people. Furthermore, as fellow priests, they couldn't bear to see Mu Hanyan, so young, die tragically before their eyes.
But they soon realized that their sympathy was completely unnecessary, or rather, it was directed at the wrong person.
