After Wang Wuxie ascended the platform, his eyes subconsciously swept over Yan Xuehen and Zu An. Seeing that the two did not exchange glances, he breathed a sigh of relief. After greeting the other sect leaders one by one, he cleared his throat, stood up to give some opening remarks, and then talked about some precautions for the arena, announcing the official start of today's competition.
When Qiu Honglei went on stage, she twirled her small curved knife in her fingers and walked with light steps, clearly in a very relaxed mood.
Many people in the room seemed to have a misconception that Peng Wuyan possessed an unparalleled confidence, and that she should be a bright and beautiful young woman.
In contrast, Wu Xiaofan on the other side was much calmer and more serious. The toothpick that had previously shone so brightly had already been brought out and was floating in front of him, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing this, Qiu Honglei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior Brother Wu, aren't you going too far? You didn't use any weapons when you were fighting Senior Brother Wan at the beginning, but now you're taking them out right from the start. Do you think I'm more powerful than Senior Brother Wan?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Guiyi of Biluo Palace snorted, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
However, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Peng Wuyan. On the contrary, he felt that this woman exuded a kind of beauty of a strong person.
Other contestants often support the person who defeats them, so that if their opponent makes it to the end, their strength will be recognized by more people.
But Wan Guiyi was different; at this moment, he hoped that Peng Wuyan would win, as that would be more in line with his ideal of a strong person.
At this moment, Wu Xiaofan slowly replied, "You and Brother Wan are both very strong. I dare not slack off in the slightest. Moreover, I am injured today and can only do my best. I hope Junior Sister Peng will understand."
At this moment, the Master of the Wooden Cave couldn't help but slap Shi Dingtian: "Look at how others dealt with it. Unlike you, who was so stupid back then, you simply gave up your weapons."
Wu Xiaofan of the Zhengyang Sect was also known for his simple and honest nature, which made his own son seem even more foolish and simple-minded.
Shi Dingtian muttered, "I'm easily out of control when I use weapons, and I didn't really want to use them in the first place... Besides, the title I won this time is the highest ever, and I'm already satisfied."
Master Mu was somewhat disappointed in his son's lack of ambition, for he actually had every opportunity to win the championship.
At this moment, Qiu Honglei spoke up on the stage: "Since you are injured, I will give you three moves. You can attack first."
This was also the battle plan that Yun Jianyue had devised for her. The longer the time dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for her, and when he attacked, it would be easy for him to aggravate his injuries and expose his weaknesses.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Xiaofan shook his head: "Since you are a guest from afar, it is already inappropriate for me to use my weapon. How can I ask my junior sister to be so courteous? Junior sister, please make the first move."
"Everyone says you're dull, but I don't think so." Qiu Honglei smiled, and seeing that he wasn't fooled, she didn't say anything more. With a sharp cry, she fired another wave of light bullets, with large and small light waves attacking each other.
"It's that same trick again." Many people in the audience murmured. This woman always uses the same trick. Doesn't she get tired of it?
However, Liang Ling and the others were watching the scene closely to see how Wu Xiaofan would handle it.
As the enormous ball of light hurtled towards him, Wu Xiaofan didn't leap into the air to dodge. Instead, he moved a foot to the side to avoid it, simultaneously neutralizing Qiu Honglei's attack.
Liang Ling was stunned. Why did she have to be so stupid as to jump into the sky back then?
After thinking it over, he finally understood the reason. It turned out that the previous rapid light bullet attacks seemed chaotic, but many of them blocked the dodging paths on the side. After dodging several times in a row, a kind of suggestion would form in his mind that there would be an attack if he dodged to the side, so he would instinctively dodge into the sky when the big light bullet came.
It's simple now that I understand, but back then, both I and Shi Dingtian were fooled by chance. Wu Xiaofan's ability to see through this so quickly is truly remarkable.
Seeing that her move had been broken, Qiu Honglei temporarily stopped attacking. Looking at the miniature weapon in front of him, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why don't you use this toothpick to attack me?"
Wu Xiaofan remained calm: "In my current state, its attack power is insufficient to deal with you."
If it were the same sword control technique used against Wan Guiyi before, even if it hit her, it would be difficult to seriously injure her, and would only deplete her energy.
"Since you think you can't beat me in your current state, you might as well just admit defeat to avoid getting hurt while fighting and affecting your future cultivation." Qiu Honglei once again began to undermine the opponent's fighting spirit.
Wu Xiaofan shook his head: "The small one can't hurt you, but it can still be very big."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tiny toothpick in front of him grew in the wind and turned into a huge stick.
