"Yue Ming, please give me your guidance, Miss Su."
After bowing to Su Yunying, Linghu Ming revealed a playful smile.
Shen Zhao wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Linghu Ming seemed to be looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
But no matter what, he would not allow Linghu Ming to harm Su Yunying.
Damn it, someone at the Selfless Realm comes to a small place like the Southern Region to show off like this. Linghu Ming, do you have any shame?
Su Yunying returned the salute with her spear raised: "Fellow Daoist Yue, please give me your guidance."
"please."
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Yunying took the initiative and thrust her spear directly at Linghu Ming.
However, Linghu Ming remained calm and even exclaimed in admiration after seeing his opponent's movements clearly: "Miss Su, what graceful movements you have!"
He easily dodged the thrusting spear tip, shifted his feet lightly, and displayed a carefree and exhilarating demeanor.
"Tch, just like in previous lives, still so fond of pretending."
Shen Zhao rolled her eyes in disdain.
The two have already exchanged more than thirty blows on the ring.
Seeing that her ordinary moves were no match for Linghu Ming, Su Yunying immediately stopped holding back. With a sweep of her Lone Goose sword, spiritual energy swirled around her, and a faint phantom of a Xuanhuang phantom soared behind her.
"Nirvana Realm!!!"
The cultivators present gasped in surprise upon witnessing this scene.
They knew Su Yunying was very strong, but they just couldn't connect such a young girl in the prime of her life with a Nirvana Realm cultivator.
"Seven Chapters of Dragon Taming: A Hundred Miles of Dragon Waves".
With a sweep of the lone goose, all the spiritual energy around Su Yunying instantly transformed into a water dragon, stirring up countless waves that roared towards Linghu Ming.
Yue Ming frowned: "Such a domineering spear stance, young lady, you have excellent skills."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Ming activated his inner energy, radiating a powerful aura.
"The Art of Heaven and Earth: A Gale Sweeps Away Fallen Leaves"
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, causing strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.
A hurricane surged up, centered on Linghu Ming.
As the raging winds clashed with the Hundred Mile Dragon Waves, a powerful shockwave erupted instantly.
After everything returned to calm, the surrounding scenery was devastated, leaving only Su Yunying and Linghu Ming standing proudly on the arena.
"Fellow Daoist Yue, your cultivation level is probably far above mine."
“Miss Su, don’t be discouraged. Just that one move was enough to make me use seventy percent of my inner strength to defend against it. If Miss Su were to fully master this spear technique, I might not be able to withstand it so easily.”
Linghu Ming wasn't just being polite; everything he said was true.
He was truly amazed by Su Yunying's marksmanship, even though it was still quite raw and clearly showed that she hadn't been practicing for long.
Su Yunying was also aroused and changed her stance, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yue, do you dare to take another move from me?"
Knowing that she had no chance of winning this battle, Su Yunying still decided to see where her limits were.
She desperately needs such a formidable opponent to enhance her combat experience.
but……
"No, I give up."
As a result, Linghu Ming raised his arms and directly admitted defeat.
This scene left everyone, including Su Yunying, completely baffled.
Shi Guanyin was also completely bewildered. After a long while, she reacted and said to Linghu Ming, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? Weren't we evenly matched just now, and even praising each other?"
Why are you giving up so easily? Can't you be a little more professional and put on a thrilling, evenly matched battle? It's unethical to end things so soon after you've built up the suspense.
Linghu Ming shrugged: "I told you, I'm no match for Miss Su. Continuing to fight will only make me suffer. It's better to just admit defeat."
Upon hearing this, Shi Guanyin flew into a rage: "I hate people like you who think they're so high and mighty. Don't think you're so great just because you have high cultivation. Let me tell you, I've consumed the Jade Pool Peaches, and I'll definitely be singing and dancing in front of your grave five hundred years from now."
After saying that, he shouted, "I hereby announce that the champion of this year's Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Competition is Su Yunying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
The next moment, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.
Su Yunying was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was going on?
At this moment, Shen Zhao jumped directly onto the arena and said to Su Yunying, "Little girl, congratulations on winning the championship in this Immortal Martial Arts Competition."
Su Yunying pouted and tilted her head with a smile: "It's nothing. It's just that Fellow Daoist Yue showed mercy."
Shen Zhao turned around and glared at Linghu Ming: "Then thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. It's also fortunate that you knew better than to fight to the bitter end, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Linghu Ming immediately replied, "Of course I know I have to give face to certain people. Now that this matter is settled, I'd like you to buy me a drink. You wouldn't refuse, would you?"
The tone of their voices suggested that the two were very familiar with each other, without any awkwardness like strangers meeting for the first time.
Shen Zhao instantly understood. This guy was probably a time traveler as well, otherwise there would be no way to explain why he would appear in the Southern Region at this time, and why his cultivation level was far stronger than in his previous life.
"No need for further explanation, I'll drink with you until you're satisfied."
Su Yunying could tell that the two seemed to be old acquaintances, and couldn't help but curiously examine this "Yue Ming".
...
While the public trial panel was conducting the awards ceremony, Shen Zhao and Linghu Ming had already downed three jars of wine in Jingyang Palace.
"Brother, it's so good to see you here again."
"You, the sixth brother, also reincarnated?"
"Yes, and I know that you are also very likely to have been reborn."
How did you know that?
"Nonsense, you didn't marry into the Dayin royal family in this life, and you made a name for yourself in the Northern Region and the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land, so I guessed that you were also reborn."
At this point, Linghu Ming put down his wine bowl and sighed, "Brother, you died so unjustly in your past life. I even went to the foot of the Nine Heavens Peak to pay my respects to you. Yu Xiyan is not worthy of your sacrifices."
