After watching the competition among the four halls, An Ran felt that the competition among the new disciples was indeed not very exciting. Apart from his own people, he did not pay attention to anyone else who came on stage.
Wan Yun seemed to be very close to An Ran's calm expression and could not help but say, "Don't run away after the competition is over!"
The Lord of the Fourth Palace heard Wan Yun's words when he just walked over. Compared with the smiles on the faces of the three Lords, the Lord of the Vermillion Bird Palace, Feng Han, was so depressed that he wanted to slap Wan Yun to death.
"Greetings, Palace Master." An Ran bowed. She could feel the powerful strength of these four Palace Masters and admired them very much in her heart.
After hearing An Ran's words, Wan Yun's expression changed a little. She turned around and saw that the four palace masters were behind her as expected. She felt nervous. How come the palace masters came here just in time?
"It's good to communicate and learn from each other privately, which is conducive to progress, but you must also be careful when taking action." Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, it's a good opportunity for us to come and watch the younger generations compete." Jiang Jue and Si Kun nodded in unison.
Wan Yun was stunned. She thought that her actions would be scolded by the hall masters. After all, her current behavior was tantamount to bullying the new junior sister. Unexpectedly, they actually agreed with her very much. A smile appeared on their faces, and their eyes looked at An Ran with even more arrogance.
Now that all four Hall Masters supported her, it seemed only natural for her to teach An Ran a lesson! She completely forgot that her Hall Master Feng Han hadn't said a word...
"An Ran, there will be four hall masters to be our referees soon, you can't run away at this critical moment." Wan Yun said proudly. These words were undoubtedly said intentionally for the four hall masters to hear.
Hearing this, An Ran smiled and said, "Since I have accepted it, I will not back down." She did not care about Wan Yun's showing off, which could be seen from her own actions. Moreover, the four hall masters seemed to know very well what the situation was, and there was no need for her to explain.
Seeing An Ran's straightforward answer, Wan Yun could only shut up. She hadn't noticed the anger in Feng Han's gaze towards her. How could his Suzaku Palace produce such a brainless disciple...
As the two of them were clashing, An Ran's name was called out on the stage. After bowing to the four hall masters, An Ran walked up to the stage. Even in front of the hall masters and their companions, her composure remained unchanged.
The four hall masters watched An Ran's performance with a flicker of satisfaction in their eyes. This kind of calm and unmoved attitude was truly rare; those who could achieve this state of mind often possessed abilities beyond the ordinary.
At this time, An Ran also recognized the woman standing in front of her. It was Pei Shan, the freshman who came in with them this time.
Pei Shan was also extremely nervous at this moment. There were four Palace Masters in the audience! When they first met, she didn't know the identities of these Palace Masters. Now that she has been in Guangming Island for several months, she naturally knows them very well.
If she could perform well in front of the Palace Master today, her future journey might be much smoother. She might even be able to enter the main palace to practice. This was a great opportunity that she absolutely could not let go!
Just looking at An Ran standing not far in front of her, her eyes were filled with complexities. Why did she have to be her opponent? When An Ran and the other four went for the test, she had seen their strength. Even after two months of continuous hard training, there was still a huge gap between her and An Ran. It would be very difficult to win, and it would be good if she could avoid making a fool of herself.
Thinking of this, Pei Shan's excitement was extinguished as if by a shower of cold water. It was a chill that went through her heart.
After the two exchanged greetings, they returned to their original positions. An Ran clenched her right hand, and a sword appeared in her hand. Her eyes were cold, and the aura in her body slowly spread out at this moment.
Seeing this, Pei Shan's movements did not slow down at all. A long black whip appeared in her hand, and the magical elements in her body surged wildly at this moment.
An Ran looked at the black whip in Pei Shan's hand. Over the years, she had fought against many people who used long whips, and she had quite a bit of experience in dealing with them. Pei Shan's strength was only at the advanced level of the Extreme Transformation Realm. The difference in realm alone was not something Pei Shan could contend with.
It can be said that this battle posed no threat to her at all.
Pei Shan took the initiative and appeared in front of An Ran. He swung the long whip towards An Ran. Seeing this, An Ran dodged the attack of the long whip and immediately met the attack with the long sword in his hand.
The long whip and the long sword intertwined, and in a short time, the long sword was entangled in the center, unable to move. Pei Shan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. She had been learning whip techniques since she was a child, and now she has gained a lot of experience in it after so many years. The long sword is a weapon she often fights with.
Under her control, the sword couldn't move at all, which was equivalent to An Ran losing her weapon! As long as she could get the sword out of An Ran's hand, even if the final result was failure, she would have revealed her face!
Compared to Pei Shan's elation, An Ran's eyes remained calm. Her actions were undoubtedly just a lashing out for Pei Shan. Otherwise, with just one strike, she could have knocked her off the arena. If she chose, Pei Shan wouldn't be able to detect it, and a single strike from behind would leave her powerless to fight back.
She gave up the simplest way to win. As a woman, it would be humiliating for Pei Shan to be defeated by her like this. She would probably hate her. It would be better to linger for a while, and the ending would be better.
The next moment, Pei Shan frowned, because she found that no matter how hard she tried, the sword was firmly held in An Ran's hand, as if it was fixed.
The four hall masters saw this scene, and a glimmer of understanding flashed across their eyes. Perhaps the other disciples couldn't see it, but they understood that Pei Shan was no match for An Ran, and that her insistence was likely intended to make it easier for her to step down.
Thinking of this, the eyes of several hall masters showed even more admiration. Not only was he of a very good character, but he was also very cautious. It was really hard to find such a person.
Seeing that the time was almost up, An Ran no longer entangled with Pei Shan. The fire magic elements continued to surge towards the Weiyang Sword. A red light flashed, and the powerful sword intent directly knocked Pei Shan's whip to the ground. At the same time, his figure flashed, and the long sword was already on Pei Shan's neck.
Pei Shan was stunned. She didn't expect the final result to be like this, and the speed was so fast that she couldn't react.
An Ran let go of Pei Shan, took a few steps back and said, "Thank you."
Hearing this, Pei Shan could only stand there speechless in shock. She turned her gaze towards the four hall masters, only to find them nodding their heads at An Ran. In contrast, she was merely the green leaf that complemented An Ran's red flower! (To be continued.)
