Pei Mianman smiled and cupped her hands in greeting: "Senior brother, you flatter me."
Yuan Kun looked somewhat embarrassed, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.
Just moments ago, I only thought the other person's smile was bright and charming, but now I feel a chill run down my spine.
He actually had too many trump cards up his sleeve, but who knew he would be knocked off the stage without even touching the hem of his opponent's clothes.
With everyone watching, he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he casually cupped his hands in greeting and slunk away.
At this moment, many spectators nearby were in an uproar. They never expected that this delicate beauty would be so powerful, and her combat ability was clearly off the charts. Now, no one dared to judge a book by its cover.
"Miss Pei is amazing!" Xie Daoyun exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.
Zuan was also somewhat surprised. Da Manman's cultivation had improved a lot during this period. It seemed that Biluo Palace was indeed worthy of being an old and powerful family in the Daoist sect, with a very deep foundation.
Qiu Honglei sighed, "I heard about her exceptional talent back in Mingyue City, and now that I've met her, she seems to be just as talented as I am."
“She’s definitely not inferior to you, and she’s been hiding her strength,” Yun Jianyue said with a headache. “How come all the women around that kid are such monsters?”
Qiu Honglei said with some pride, "My great-grandfather is really capable."
Cloud Moon: "..."
Is it something that can make you happy to have such a silly apprentice like me?
Yan Xuehen on the other side also narrowed her eyes. She naturally noticed something unusual and felt a little worried. Qiu Honglei of the Demonic Sect was already a formidable opponent, but she didn't expect Pei Mianman to be so powerful as well.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Wuxie's eyes as well, but his expression quickly turned playful. In any case, this female disciple was not in Wu Xiaofan's group, so there was bound to be some interesting things to watch later.
The following matches were unremarkable, though some dark horses emerged. Despite having a lower cultivation level, they agreed to challenge opponents of a higher level. However, the difference was only one level at most; any significant difference made it virtually impossible to challenge someone of a higher level.
When it was the turn of the seeded players to take the stage, their opponents did not look too good, and most of them chose to concede defeat.
Under normal circumstances, some strong individuals might muster the courage to engage in a fierce battle. Even if they lose, the experience of fighting these people is invaluable.
However, in this competition, in addition to the first-place team in each group advancing directly, the eight best second-place teams will have to go through a brutal knockout round.
They not only need to win as many matches as possible in their group to ensure they can enter the knockout stage, but they also need to prepare for the knockout stage. Since so many matches are completed in just a few days, if they are too exhausted from competing against the top disciple, they may suffer in the subsequent matches.
However, there were also those who were stubborn. For example, Peng Wuyan's opponent, perhaps because Kongming Island had always been at the bottom of the nine sects of Taoism, and Peng Wuyan's reputation was not well-known, thought that she should go all in. If she could beat this relatively weak chief disciple, she could advance directly as the top seed in the group and avoid participating in the second round of the brutal elimination tournament.
Unfortunately, reality was cruel. He was quickly knocked off the stage by Peng Wuyan, and his injuries were quite severe. He was clearly unable to fight for the time being and withdrew from the competition for the remaining spots.
That ugly woman is really ruthless!
The disciples around her looked at the woman on the stage with eyes full of awe.
Zu An could understand why she attacked so fiercely. It was obviously to make an example of her. Otherwise, if others thought she was easy to bully, they would all come to challenge her. Even if she could defeat them, it would still take a lot of energy. Then she would be at a disadvantage when facing other chief disciples later. It was better to solve the problem once and for all.
As for the disciple who was seriously injured, he deserved it. If he wanted to gamble, he should have been prepared to either go to a brothel with young models if he won or have to work in the sex industry if he lost.
However, the injured disciple's sect thought differently. One person from Luofu Mountain questioned, "This Miss Peng attacked so heavily, which clearly violated the previous competition rules. She should be disqualified from the competition!"
Yun Jianyue was enjoying watching her precious disciple defeat those elite Taoist fighters when she heard this and flew into a rage: "You bastard, he was just not good enough, what does that have to do with my disciple!"
After being reprimanded like this, Elder Xu, who was leading the Luofu Mountain group, could no longer sit still: "Sect Leader Wang just said that the competition should stop when the opponent has made a move. Your disciple could have won easily, but he attacked so hard that he crippled our disciple and made it impossible for him to participate in the competition again. Naturally, this is a violation of the rules and he should be punished."
Qiu Honglei on the stage was a little flustered. After all, she came from the Demonic Sect and instinctively wanted to make an example of someone to warn others. She never expected that the Taoist sect had so many rules. If things really got out of hand and her identity was exposed, it would be dangerous.
