Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan's gaze remained fixed on the genius junior disciple of Lingxiao Sect on the battle stage. "If my contracted beast doesn't help, I'm still no match for her in terms of combat power alone!"
Chu Wanwan's tone revealed her recognition of the young genius's strength, while also showing that she had a clear understanding of her own abilities.
She knew that in terms of pure combat strength, she was currently no match for that young genius from the Lingxiao Sect. But she was not discouraged by this; instead, she became even more determined to cultivate diligently.
Upon hearing Chu Wanwan's reply, Wuyouzi couldn't help but smile slightly.
"You mean you can beat them even with your contracted beast?"
"Instant kill!"
Chu Wanwan said confidently.
The little azure dragon is now a peak level 5 celestial beast, and dealing with a cultivator in the Condensation Realm is practically like being a god.
If Little Azure Dragon makes a move, that young genius from the Lingxiao Sect probably won't even be able to withstand a single strike.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wuyouzi's eyes.
"Your contracted beast has advanced again? That's not right. Even if your contracted beast has advanced to level four, it shouldn't be able to kill that kid instantly!"
"Master, just wait and see!" Chu Wanwan didn't say much. She watched the small figure on the stage with great interest, considering whether she should summon the Azure Dragon to defeat the child in one move if she were to face him one day, or practice with the Phoenix and the Great White first.
"Alright! Then Master will wait for the surprise you bring me!" Wuyouzi said, taking out a candied hawthorn and handing it to Chu Wanwan, "Here! Eat while you watch!"
Chu Wanwan smiled as she took the candied hawthorn and took a big, satisfied bite.
...
The battle reached its climax, with each clash eliciting gasps from the audience. The young disciple of the Lingxiao Sect fought with increasing ferocity, her figure moving swiftly across the battle platform like a streak of blue lightning, dazzling the onlookers.
Finally, in a fierce exchange, she seized upon her opponent's weakness, piercing through their defenses with a single sword strike and defeating them. Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, who cheered for her brilliant performance.
"This first little genius of Lingxiao Sect—Chu Chenxi—truly lives up to his name!"
"Yes, watching her fight is truly exhilarating. To have such strength at such a young age is truly astonishing."
"I heard that she is only six years old this year, but she has already reached the high level of the ninth level of the Condensation Realm. She is truly gifted."
"I don't know what her future achievements will be like, but right now, in terms of talent, she should be the number one genius in the Third Heaven!"
Sitting next to Chu Wanwan, Chen Mo listened to the discussions among the other disciples of the immortal sect and pursed his lips, saying:
"Tch! What number one genius? The number one genius of the Third Heaven should be Chu Wanwan from our Starry Sky Sect. She's only five years old and has already reached the early stage of the ninth level of the Condensation Realm. Not only that, my junior sister is also a Beast Tamer, with two contracted beasts of divine beast bloodlines!"
Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the disciples of the Starry Sky Sect echoed his sentiments, stating that the number one genius of the Lingxiao Sect was no match for the number one genius of their Starry Sky Sect.
Chu Wanwan felt a little embarrassed by the praise from her senior brothers and sisters. You can admire your junior sister in your hearts, but if you say it out loud, won't other immortal sect disciples laugh at their sect for overestimating itself?
After all, she was only barely at the ninth level of the Condensation Realm, while that other person was already at the advanced ninth level. No matter how you looked at it, she was inferior to that junior disciple of the Lingxiao Sect.
Sure enough, when the other disciples of the immortal sects heard the Starry Sky Sect disciples being so arrogant, they all looked at Chu Wanwan and then burst out laughing.
Hey! I'm telling you, you disciples of the immortal sect who've been at the bottom for millennia, where do you get the audacity to speak so arrogantly? The number one genius of the Third Heaven? Our junior sister is a high-level immortal cultivator at the ninth level of the Condensation Realm, and as you've seen, her combat power is even stronger than that of a peak Condensation Realm immortal cultivator!
"Your Starry Sky Sect's junior sister is merely a ninth-tier beginner immortal cultivator; she can't even defeat me. How dare you boast that you can beat my junior sister?"
Faced with the ridicule from other disciples of the immortal sects, Chen Mo blushed, but he still stubbornly argued: "What do you know! My junior sister's talent and strength are beyond your imagination! Your junior sister has a high cultivation level, but my junior sister has a contracted beast."
As Chen Mo finished speaking, the other disciples of the Starry Sky Sect echoed his sentiments. In their hearts, their junior sister was the best!
"Hahaha! So what if your junior sister has a contracted beast? Is the contracted beast at the peak of level three or at the beginning of level four?"
Even if your junior sister brings a contracted beast to compete with our junior sister, she still can't beat her!
"Besides, is your junior sister the only one with a contracted beast? My junior sister also has a contracted beast, and it's an ancient ferocious beast... Pixiu!" another Lingxiao Sect disciple mocked.
"Pixiu? So what!" Chen Mo said disdainfully, "So what if it's an ancient ferocious beast? My junior sister's contracted beast has divine beast blood!"
Other disciples of the Starry Sky Sect also expressed their support: "That's right, a contracted beast with divine beast bloodline is not comparable to your ancient ferocious beasts!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Lingxiao Sect burst into laughter: "Divine beast bloodline? You're really just bragging without any basis! Where's the divine beast? Come here! Have your junior sister summon it for us to see!"
"Why should I let you see it just because you want to! I won't!"
The argument between the two parties attracted the attention of others around them, and many people began to watch the verbal battle.
Chu Wanwan sat to the side, quietly eating her candied hawthorn, as if the arguing around her had nothing to do with her.
"Senior Brother, are the people of our Starry Sky Sect really that competitive?" Chu Wanwan glanced at Zhou Ming, who remained silent, and asked helplessly.
Although Zhou Ming is currently at the seventh level of the Condensation Realm, with the strength he recently gained from advancing to the fourth-level low-level Golden Lion Beast, he should be able to fight against a high-level immortal cultivator at the ninth level of the Condensation Realm.
Therefore, those who participated in this competition are considered to be among the top contestants from the Starry Sky Sect.
"It's not that they're competitive, but that our sect has always been looked down upon by other sects, especially the Lingxiao Sect. Their disciples, relying on being disciples of the number one sect, always mock our sect during the Immortal Sect Competition."
Especially after Junior Brother Lin Mo joined the Starry Sky Sect...
You don't know yet! Lin Mo used to be a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect! Later, he was constantly bullied by the Lingxiao Sect disciples, so he switched allegiance to the Xingchen Sect!
Zhou Ming explained.
"Senior Brother Lin Mo mentioned this to me, but I don't know the details! Is it because Senior Brother Lin Mo brought the bribes from the Lin family to the Lingxiao Sect to the Starry Sky Sect when he came to the Starry Sky Sect?"
Chu Wanwan knew that Lin Mo was not qualified to join the Starry Sky Sect, so the Lin family spent a lot of crystals on him so that he could cultivate in one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
Although the disciples of Lingxiao Sect looked down on Lin Mo and even bullied him, the loss of such a large amount of crystals due to Lin Mo's departure would definitely displease Lingxiao Sect, leading them to target the disciples of Xingchen Sect.
