"Help! I actually drew Senior Sister Xia Ruhua!"
"I don't want number 21! I don't want to fight Senior Brother Qin!"
"It's over, it's over, I'm doomed."
"Hahaha! I drew Mu Yan!"
After the draw, amidst the wailing of the crowd, one voice stood out. Mu Yan looked up and saw that the Cloud Pillar clearly displayed Mu Yan VS Yang Cheng.
People around Yang Cheng looked on with envy. They also wanted to compete with Mu Yan, which would be no different from drawing a bye.
Mu Yan stood to the side, listening to their discussion, as if they were talking about her.
"Mu Yan!" Huo Kai immediately spotted Mu Yan, who was isolated from the others, and excitedly called out his name.
Mu Yan turned her head slightly and saw Huo Kai running towards her.
"Phew, I'm so glad to see you again. You haven't forgotten me, have you?" Huo Kai ran up to Mu Yan and asked.
Mu Yan has always had a good memory, and besides, he was the only one who had taken the initiative to find her in all this time. How could Mu Yan forget him? So she nodded to show that she still remembered him.
Huo Kai was overjoyed to see that Mu Yan still remembered him, so he put his arm around Mu Yan's shoulder and started to chat with him.
"Mu Yan, do you want to guess who will win this match?" Huo Kai watched Qiu Ming and Lü Yu on the stage, the two of them fighting fiercely and evenly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yan began to carefully observe the duel between the two. Both were at the fifth level of Body Refinement, and on the surface, they appeared to be evenly matched.
However, Mu Yan noticed that Qiu Ming clearly showed signs of advancing when receiving Lü Yu's attack. This could only mean that Qiu Ming was much stronger than Lü Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have made that forward movement.
"Qiu Ming will definitely win." After watching for a while, Mu Yan stopped watching. It was just one-sided teasing, and there was nothing interesting about it.
Although Huo Kai also thought highly of Qiu Ming, there was still a hint of disbelief in Mu Yan's confident tone.
But he didn't show it. He just took Mu Yan to the betting area and took out money to bet on Qiu Ming to win.
Soon, the battle went from being evenly matched at the beginning to Qiu Ming's one-sided domination, and finally ended.
"How did you know Qiu Ming was bound to win?" Qiu Ming asked doubtfully.
But Mu Yan only uttered two words—"feeling"—and then fell silent.
Huo Kai scratched his head and muttered, "Do you have a sixth sense too?"
But Mu Yan didn't reply. He just watched the competition quietly, hoping to learn something useful from it.
When Lin Han watched as Elder Gong's disciple Jiang Hai went on stage, he paid a little attention and then stopped paying attention to him after realizing that Jiang Hai was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Elder Lin, look at this disciple of mine. He's only been a disciple for a year and a half, and he's already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. I have to thank Elder Lin for giving away such a promising talent so easily." Elder Gong noticed that Lin Han was looking at Jiang Hai and, for no reason, he wanted to pick a fight with Lin Han.
"Yes, you should be grateful. If I hadn't been unwilling, Elder Gong wouldn't have been able to find such a disciple. I understand." Lin Han casually picked up an orange and peeled it carelessly.
Elder Gong, perhaps because he had been criticized so many times, showed no anger at all, but looked at Lin Han with a smug expression.
After all, Jiang Hai was already one of the top performers at this conference. The most threatening ones were Xing Qiu and Li Yao, but it is said that Xing Qiu broke through to the Golden Core stage a month ago.
Therefore, there is nothing to fear now. Li Yao is also in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. If they fight each other, they can at least fight to a draw. That's why Elder Gong is so smug.
Soon it was Jiang Hai's turn to compete. He faced a disciple who was still in the Body Refinement stage. Without a doubt, Jiang Hai won the match and advanced smoothly.
When Jiang Hai left the field, he saw Mu Yan watching him. He gave Mu Yan a provocative look before returning to his position.
Mu Yan gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
Because Mu Yan's matches were relatively late, he took the opportunity to observe many of his seniors' matches and learned a lot of practical skills from them.
Soon it was Mu Yan's turn to go on stage, accompanied by the man who had laughed at the beginning.
"Yang Cheng versus Mu Yan!"
As the referee's voice faded, Mu Yan leaped onto the stage, and the two shook hands before the battle began.
Yang Cheng looked at Mu Yan opposite him, let out a contemptuous laugh, and then took the initiative to attack, intending to defeat Mu Yan as soon as he entered the arena.
But Mu Yan was not that weak. In his eyes, Yang Cheng's movements seemed to be slowed down several times, and Mu Yan easily dodged them.
Yang Cheng seemed surprised that Mu Yan could dodge his attack. After a moment of surprise, he attributed it to Mu Yan's good luck and then launched a new round of attacks.
He muttered incantations, and a pale blue halo appeared on the sword in his right hand, sending chills down one's spine.
Yang Cheng drew his sword and slashed at Mu Yan, leaving behind a trail of cold mist wherever he went.
"Look, it's a water spell! I've been practicing it for so long but haven't succeeded."
"Yang Cheng is amazing."
"Mu Yan is finished this time."
Those below, seeing the blue light emanating from Yang Cheng's sword, began to murmur amongst themselves.
At this moment, Mu Yan remained calm and composed, forming a hand seal to create a barrier around himself.
"Tch, do you think this thin barrier can withstand my sword?" Yang Cheng sneered when he saw Mu Yan's attempt to resist as he slashed at him.
Mu Yan then softly said, "You're really bad. Game over."
Then, the instant Yang Cheng's sword struck the barrier, the person suddenly vanished from within it and appeared directly behind Yang Cheng amidst gasps of surprise. He then condensed a ball of chaotic energy in his right hand and struck Yang Cheng directly.
Yang Cheng, struck by the arrow, fell heavily to the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the referee immediately announced, "Mu Yan wins this match!"
The referee had barely finished speaking when the entire stadium fell silent.
If someone told them that Mu Yan could defeat his opponent in half an incense stick's time, they might laugh at the person for being crazy. But now, when they witnessed it with their own eyes, they were completely dumbfounded.
Regardless of their astonishment, as soon as the referee announced his victory, Mu Yan jumped off the fighting platform and returned to his position, casting a pleading look at Lin Han, who was sitting above the square.
Upon seeing this, Lin Han couldn't help but chuckle, secretly giving Mu Yan a thumbs-up before looking away from him.
Elder Gong assumed Lin Han was laughing because her disciple had won, so he rolled his eyes at her and said sarcastically, "Sigh, some people are just pathetic. They laugh so happily even when their disciple wins the simplest competition."
Lin Han completely ignored Elder Gong, who was constantly trying to get his attention, and pretended not to hear him, continuing to pet the fox.
