The two who had just volunteered fell silent. Although they were among the best of the Ning family's retainers, they would never dare to claim that they were invincible at the same level.
"How about this, we'll select the strongest among our own members first, and then send them to the final battle. This way, we can ensure that the Ning family has the greatest chance of winning. What do you think?" Ning Zhengguo said.
"Sure, I'll take on any challenge!"
The most straightforward answer came from Kui Mu. This woman possessed strong self-confidence, but her fifth-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm was indeed somewhat weak.
"Um..." Deng Shan hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm confident too!"
"I don't need to participate!" Jiang Yuan refused. Playing with people of the same realm is just child's play, and he doesn't have time for that.
"This..." Zhao Kai was a little embarrassed. He was the one who found the guy, but now he was disobedient. Wasn't this a slap in the face? The key point was that the guy didn't want any salary or anything. He just said he would eat for a day and do a day's work. How could he possibly manage him?
"Young man, are you dissatisfied with your treatment?" Ning Zhengguo wasn't angry; instead, he subtly inquired about Jiang Yuan's reasons for not wanting to go.
"I'm just a fourth-stage True Spirit Realm cultivator, so I won't cause any trouble for the Ning family." Jiang Yuan's answer was quite reasonable; he only wanted to see where Ning Yanlan lived.
"How about this, you participate in the competition, and if you win, I'll grant you one request!" For some reason, Ning Zhengguo wanted to win over Jiang Yuan the moment he saw him. As a businessman, his intuition told him that the True Spirit Realm Stage 4 person in front of him was no ordinary person.
"real?"
Jiang Yuan became interested. If that was the case, wouldn't it be much easier for him to inquire about Ning Yanlan?
"I, Ning Zhengguo, keep my word, but only if you can win the competition!" Ning Zhengguo emphasized his words. Although he called it a competition, it was unclear whether it was a competition among the Ning family's retainers or a competition to win ownership of the mine.
"Okay, I agree!"
Jiang Yuan didn't care that Ning Zhengguo was nitpicking with him; in fact, it was perfectly reasonable for him to help the Ning family.
"Alright, everything is ready. Let the contest between the retainers begin now!"
Ning Zhengguo had no intention of wasting time and immediately notified the experts of each realm to come and compete.
Within the Heavenly Spirit Realm, besides Kui Mu who is at the fifth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, there are three other people at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, two of whom are at the third level and one at the seventh level.
The level difference isn't significant, but for ordinary people, it's very difficult to skip levels because everyone starts at roughly the same point. The probability of skipping levels is very low unless one has a comprehensive advantage in cultivation techniques and skills. Otherwise, looking at the level is probably the most straightforward result.
The battles in the Heavenly Spirit Realm were divided into two groups: one group was Heavenly Spirit Realm Stage 5 versus Heavenly Spirit Realm Stage 3, and the other group was Heavenly Spirit Realm Stage 7 versus Stage 3. These two battles were also without suspense. The two guest elders who were only at the Stage 3 of the Heavenly Spirit Realm could not withstand the crushing power of the higher level and were defeated in just a few minutes.
After the first match, it was time for the battle between the fifth and seventh stages of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Judging from the levels alone, there was no suspense, but the Ning family members clearly had different confidence in Kui Mu, who was at the fifth stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Most of them watched with great interest.
From the very beginning of the battle, Kui Mu displayed unprecedented skills. She was a Spirit Awakener with both spiritual and physical abilities. As soon as she entered the fray, her violent energy exploded around her opponent. The momentum at the start of a battle is very important. Kui Mu was clearly a veteran of many battles. Knowing that her level was lower and her energy was definitely not as good as her opponent's, she chose to compete on quality, that is, to bombard her opponent from the start.
The intense energy waves kept hitting the seventh-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator, causing him to cry out in pain. However, no one who had reached this stage was a novice, so after being suppressed for the first few minutes, he began to fight back.
The seventh stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm is a single power system, but this also proves that his physical body is far stronger than that of Kui Mu at the fifth stage. So when he was struggling to escape from the energy bombardment, Kui Mu had to rely on his movement techniques to dodge and began to fight back.
"This woman's movement technique is of a very high level!"
Jiang Yuan, standing to the side, made a preliminary assessment of Kui Mu's strength. Kui Mu's ability to advance two minor stages relied on her solid foundation and outstanding cultivation techniques. He estimated that Kui Mu's initial spiritual barrier was at the level of three to three thousand five hundred, while that seventh stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm was only around two thousand. This difference in the quality of their spiritual runes was evident. Moreover, Kui Mu was definitely superior in terms of cultivation techniques. This was evident from the frequency with which she used her skills. Only a sufficiently powerful cultivation technique could guarantee such stable output.
"It seems this Kui Mu has some skill!"
This is Jiang Yuan's evaluation of Kui Mu. The spiritual barrier of a peerless genius can reach more than 9,000, while the spiritual barrier of a top genius is at least more than 6,000. Kui Mu's spiritual barrier of more than 3,000 is barely considered that of a not weak genius. Compared with ordinary people, he still has the power to crush them.
As Jiang Yuan had predicted, the guest elder at the seventh level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm was defeated, lasting only eight minutes. In those eight minutes, Kui Mu had exhausted all his energy. If he had dragged it out any longer, Kui Mu would definitely have lost. However, there are no "ifs" in this world. He couldn't even hold out for eight minutes, let alone any longer.
"In the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Kui Mu emerges victorious!"
