Mu Huan stepped forward, slowly adjusting her slightly wrinkled cuffs. Her white dress was a stark contrast to the image she had in her dreams. It was hard to imagine how stunning such a pure white dress would look when stained with blood.
Mu Huan lightly moved his lotus steps and jumped onto the competition stage, facing Hua Qingxue. The two of them stared into each other's eyes, and the mere glance showed that neither of them would give in.
Hua Qingxue's eyes were filled with hatred, dissatisfaction, but mostly envy and jealousy. How could such a useless person be appreciated by Elder Liang Ci and accepted as his disciple? How could such a useless person be so popular with so many people?
It didn't matter. Today, she would make her feel the same despair again. If she could destroy her once, she could destroy her a second time! She would let everyone witness how someone like Mu Huan was crushed into the dirt by her own hands. Hua Qingxue thought, she would make sure Mu Huan never got a chance to stand up again.
"At first, I thought you were too scared to accept the challenge!"
"Don't dare? Miss Hua, have you forgotten? You failed miserably in the entrance examination! Even though you didn't lose to me, why should I be afraid of an opponent who always loses in every battle?" She was really upset. She hadn't even gone to settle the score with them yet, but they came here with such a flattering attitude. She didn't know who gave them the courage.
Back then, she was young and ignorant, and didn't understand anything, so she was exploited, deceived, and harmed. And now, Mu Huan stroked the nail polish on her fingers. Today, she wanted to let Hua Qingxue taste the feeling of being ruined. Especially, the feeling of being ruined by her must be very uncomfortable.
"Mu Huan, you're only good at talking." What's the point of being good at talking? The gap in strength is there. In this world, the strong are respected. I really can't wait to see Mu Huan being trampled under her feet.
Hua Qingxue hadn't expected Mu Huan to be so resilient even after losing her spirit bone, and to have actually reached a remarkable state of cultivation. But so what? Without her spirit bone, Mu Huan, that wretch... wouldn't be able to go far. Since she couldn't go far, she might as well help her and make her suffer a short, long pain.
"Isn't being good at talking one of my strengths? It's better than you being criticized and not being able to refute it." Before fighting, Hua Qingxue must first be mentally broken to a certain extent! Otherwise, it will not be fun!
"You..." Hua Qingxue still chose to endure! Master was right, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. Mu Huan just wanted to provoke her. She would not be fooled!
Ha! She's quite patient! It seems that the person who taught Hua Qingxue behind the scenes is really not simple! Mu Huan suddenly became curious about who that person was who could teach such an impulsive person to be so patient!
"I say, are you going to start or not? You ask me to fight, but you're here saying all this nonsense, and then you say you can't beat me. Is this all you can do?" You have to sound a little provocative when you speak, because you're facing someone who deserves a beating.
They say: Speak the truth to people and lie to ghosts. Mu Huan has learned the essence of this saying to his core.
Hua Qingxue was beginning to lose her composure. Mu Huan's mouth was still as annoying as ever. However, after today, it would never speak again. Because Mu Huan would die at her hands!
"I want to see if you can still keep up the same rhetoric after today." Hua Qingxue attacked without warning, and her attack was a killing blow. Compared to the time she dealt with Murong Feng just now, her method was even more vicious.
Hua Qingxue possessed a water spirit root and was also a sound controller. Both of these traits seemed to indicate that she and Mu Huan were natural enemies. Mu Huan, on the other hand, possessed a fire spirit root and was also a sound controller. It was already preordained that a battle between Mu Huan and Hua Qingxue would occur sooner or later!
A smile played at the corner of Mu Huan's lips. Hua Qingxue had finally been irritated by her, as Mu Huan could clearly sense a hint of urgency in her moves. Remember not to rush during a fight; Hua Qingxue's own fluctuating formations meant she'd already lost at the starting line.
Facing Hua Qingxue's continuous stream of water dragons and water balls, Mu Huan chose not to fight back, but instead used his body movements to dodge. "I'll just keep wearing you out like this, and see what you can do to me." While this might be somewhat unethical, there was no other way. To deal with someone like Hua Qingxue, you had to be sneaky.
"Mu Huan, is this all you can do? You only know how to hide!" Hua Qingxue increased the input of spiritual power. The attacker was always actively consuming his own spiritual power.
"I don't have much strength. I was caught by you suddenly, and I have been forced to do it. I don't want to be like your last opponent, who didn't even let go of my Dantian."
Hua Qingxue attacked, and Mu Huan dodged. This vicious cycle continued over and over again. Hua Qingxue's continuous and large-scale spiritual power output gradually made her body a little bit overwhelmed. Mu Huan could clearly notice that her movements were much slower than at the beginning.
The opportunity has come!
Mu Huan dodged sideways and turned around to appear directly behind Hua Qingxue. Hua Qingxue's back was exposed, and Mu Huan's counterattack was about to begin.
Mu Huan's movements didn't consume much energy, and since she'd always been on the defensive, her spiritual energy was still quite abundant. Her hands spun and overlapped, and a rich, fiery red fire element danced around her body, finally converging into a ball. Mu Huan launched a direct attack, sending the massive fireball careening directly into Hua Qingxue's back.
Hua Qingxue was at a disadvantage, and suddenly felt a strong burning sensation across her back. She felt the flesh on her back crackle. The intense pain made Hua Qingxue scream, and she unconsciously threw a backhanded attack at Mu Huan.
Mu Huan's arm was successfully injured, but Hua Qingxue's injury was more serious.
"Mu Huan!" Very good, Hua Qingxue had been successfully enraged. This time she would not give Mu Huan any more leeway, even if it meant risking expulsion, she would definitely take Mu Huan's life today.
Although the competition was a life-or-death agreement, everyone knew that killing one another was strictly prohibited. Because the lower realms were already short of talented cultivators, everyone tacitly understood that the life-or-death agreement was merely a pretext.
However, Hua Qingxue's jealousy and hatred had reached a critical point. She had previously only wanted to destroy Mu Huan and prevent her from practicing again. But now she had changed her mind and only wanted to take Mu Huan's life.
Hua Qingxue endured the burning pain in her back as blood streamed down her back, dripping onto the ground. Suddenly, a completely black zither appeared in her hand. Mu Huan could clearly sense the dark aura emanating from it, as it was identical to the aura emanating from the skeletons she had previously subdued.
"Mu Huan, tell me, why did you take the initiative to provoke me? Can't you just be a good useless young lady? Why do you have to stand out?" Why did you have to take away the attention that should have belonged to her?
