Chapter 73: Yang Ming will knock you off the ring with just one move.
The war drums on the stage started beating, and the huge gong and drum sounds reached everyone's ears: "Dong Dong Dong——"
The eunuch standing nearby shouted to the crowd, "Next, it's Shen Gan, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, and Mu Qingtian, the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, who will compete on the stage!"
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to the emperor, empress, and queen mother in front of the arena.
Mu Xingchen twitched his lips as he looked at the Queen's face. He complained in his heart, "Didn't the Queen say she was tired? And she still came to watch the competition."
Xiao Qi was speechless: "As the Queen, how can I not come to such an occasion?"
Mu Xingchen followed the prince, and they walked to the front of the arena and saluted the emperor, empress, and queen mother.
The emperor looked at the performer and raised his hand lightly: "No need for formalities, just watch the competition." After saying that, he glanced at Mu Qing unintentionally, then his gaze returned to the competition stage.
Mu Xingchen raised his eyebrows, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking directly at the ring.
On the ring, the fight raged. All the surrounding leaves transformed into weapons, piercing Mu Qingtian with murderous intent. Seeing this, Mu Qingtian raised his hand and created a barrier of energy in front of him.
The leaves filled with murderous intent confronted the powerful aura, neither of them giving in.
The next second, with a "bang!", the air barrier wall dispersed, creating a shockwave that shattered all the leaves. A surge of spiritual energy sent Shen Gan lurching back a step. Looking back, he saw that half of his foot was on the stage. Shen Gan looked at Mu Qingtian with a pale face, saying in disbelief, "Your cultivation has actually reached this level."
Mu Qingtian smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
The Imperial Master nodded in satisfaction from the audience.
The officials around him immediately flattered him, "Emperor Master, your son is truly gifted. Not only has he already broken through to the Wind Transformation Realm at such a young age, but it looks like he's on the verge of breaking through to the Sky Splitting Realm."
The Imperial Tutor smiled cheerfully, waving his hand modestly. "Hahaha, thank you, thank you." He stroked his beard, feeling incredibly proud. Besides Prince Yan, the incredibly gifted man in Kyoto, his son was the most gifted!
"What's so interesting about this?" Mu Xingchen asked, "It's just children playing house..."
Xiao Qi was speechless: "Do you think everyone is like you? It's already very good for him to reach this level at his age."
Mu Xingchen yawned. "I didn't say anything. It's just a little boring, not very interesting, and not exciting."
The chief eunuch shouted in a shrill voice beside the ring, "Who else wants to challenge me?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Given Mu Qingtian's current level, going there would be a death.
Suddenly, a female voice came: "I'm coming!"
Everyone looked towards the voice.
When they saw the face that had shouted, everyone started talking.
"Mu Ziyu! Isn't that the daughter of the Xiangfu family? I remember she was in the Concentration Realm and hadn't yet broken through to the Wind Transformation Realm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Ziyu walked onto the stage with an arrogant look on his face.
Mu Qingtian frowned slightly on the stage. He looked at Mu Ziyu and hesitated to say, "Miss Ziyu, you..."
Mu Ziyu drew the whip from her waist, raised her head and chest, hooked her finger and said provocatively: "Come!"
Mu Qingtian pursed his lips: "If that's the case, then I'm sorry!"
Mu Ziyu pulled the whip in her hand, and suddenly a blue lightning surrounded the whip. "Bang!" She swung the whip out unexpectedly, and a huge pressure followed on the field.
Everyone was shocked and said, "Oh my God! She has also broken through the Wind Transformation Realm!"
"That's Miss Mu, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
“It seems so!”
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has also produced a genius in the Wind Transformation Realm!"
"It's incredible, it's incredible."
On the ring, Mu Qingtian was caught off guard. When the first whip fell, he underestimated his enemy and was half a second late in blocking it, so he was knocked back only half a step away from the edge of the ring.
Mu Ziyu smiled, and suddenly the surrounding leaves fluttered into the air again.
The two's auras competed invisibly, neither willing to give in. However, Mu Qingtian's expression became noticeably uglier, as he was only half a step away from the edge of the ring.
"Oh no! Mu Qingtian loses," Mu Xingchen had just finished speaking when, with a bang, the pressure on the stage exploded, sending both of them back a few steps. Mu Qingtian's pupils shrank slightly, and he swiftly struck Mu Ziyu with a palm. Mu Ziyu curled his lips and lashed out, splitting his spiritual power. By then, Mu Qingtian had already fallen to the ground.
Mu Xingchen shook his head: "It's really not that good."
Xiao Qi: "Mu Qingtian underestimated his enemy."
If you underestimate the enemy, you will be defeated. You deserve it.
"Pa, pa, pa!" Applause erupted from the stage, and everyone looked over to see that it was the Emperor who was applauding. He looked at Mu Ziyu and nodded meaningfully, then laughed heartily, "Good! Hahahahaha! As expected of Prime Minister Mu's daughter! A woman as capable as any man! Reward!"
The queen's eyes darkened and the cold light in her eyes shot towards Mu Xingchen.
Mu Ziyu immediately half-knelt in gratitude and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your reward!"
The Queen Mother also nodded at this moment, and then she said: "In this case, I will give you this Yunyao hairpin as a reward." As she said that, she pulled out a hairpin from her head and signaled the maid to take it away.
Mu Ziyu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward!" She took the hairpin.
This hairpin was given to me by the Empress Dowager in the past. It is an extremely valuable item!
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at the Imperial Preceptor and the Prime Minister meaningfully. The Prime Minister had a stern smile on his face, while the Imperial Preceptor forced a smile stiffly, his palms clenched under his sleeves.
He turned around and looked at Mu Qingtian coldly, "Waste."
Mu Qingtian held both hands tightly, but was knocked off the stage by Mu Ziyu today, which was a great humiliation.
Mu Qi looked at Mu Lin again. He glanced at the ring and motioned her to go up, but Mu Lin didn't even turn her head and just pretended not to see it. Mu Qi was so angry that his face turned red.
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of her lips slightly. "How interesting! What I said in the Imperial Garden just now really muddied the waters. The Emperor probably wants to marry Mu Ziyu to Li Yan, and the Queen looks like she wants to kill me."
Xiao Qi sarcastically said, "The Mu family came from humble beginnings and was single-handedly supported by the Emperor. They are considered loyal ministers. He can neither compare to the generations-old inheritance of the Imperial Master's House nor be used by the Emperor. You have disturbed the Empress's good fortune and aroused the Emperor's suspicion. If I were you, I would kill you too."
Mu Xingchen raised her eyebrows. It was her fault.
The arena was silent for a long time. Just when the head eunuch was about to announce Mu Ziyu's victory, Mu Qinxin suddenly stood up. She walked onto the stage and petitioned the emperor, "Your Majesty, I wish to challenge Sister Ziyu."
The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Oh? You want to challenge the girl from the Mu family?"
Mu Qinxin nodded: "Your Majesty, yes."
The emperor laughed loudly and said, "Hahahahaha. Okay, I approve!"
At this moment, everyone was a little confused. This person seemed to be a concubine's daughter of the Imperial Teacher's Mansion. She had never been heard of in Kyoto before. Today, she dared to challenge the legitimate daughter of the Mu family who had broken through the Wind Transformation Realm.
An official standing by sighed, "The Imperial Master has truly given birth to another wonderful daughter."
Mu Qi narrowed his eyes, his face suddenly showing some confusion. He didn't know that Xin'er had broken through the Huafeng realm.
Mu Xingchen's lips curled up slightly, "Finally, Mu Qinxin is causing trouble. Haha, but she didn't break through to the Wind Transformation Realm. Tsk, Mu Ziyu lost."
Xiao Qi immediately exclaimed: "Talent!"
Mu Qingtian's face looked a little ugly at the moment. Mu Lin turned her head to glance at Mu Qingtian, then shook her head, suggesting that he should not act rashly.
Mu Qingtian clenched his fists and looked sinisterly at Mu Qinxin on the stage.
On the ring, Mu Ziyu chuckled while holding a whip and said, "What was this sister's name? I don't seem to remember it."
Mu Qinxin said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The concubine of the Mu family, Mu Qinxin." She stood on the stage, her face calm and composed, as if nothing could affect her.
"Heh." Mu Ziyu smiled, "So it's the Third Miss of the Mu family. Since she's Sister Lin's younger sister, I'll let you have three moves."
Mu Qinxin shook her head, then she smiled and said something that made people drop their teeth.
"It only takes one move."
Mu Ziyu smiled and said, "Oh? You just need me to let you do one move?"
Mu Qinxin shook her head again and said firmly: "No, I will knock you off the stage. It only takes one move."
Mu Ziyu's face suddenly changed, and she sneered: "What a shameless concubine! Watch out for the whip!" After that, Mu Ziyu swung the whip in her hand with all her strength, and a strong wind blew around, which was very powerful.
Suddenly, everyone in the audience watched this scene with great nervousness. If Mu Qinxin was hit by this whip, he would be crippled if not dead.
Mu Xingchen was immediately amused: "Tsk, I never knew that Mu Qinxin was the actress who pretended to be a pig but ended up eating the tiger."
Xiao Qi sighed again: "Genius! The real genius of this Mu Mansion is Mu Qinxin!!!"
Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened. From now on, the three words "Mu Qinxin" would become famous in Kyoto.
"Bang!" Mu Qinxin directly tore open the space. After the surrounding space shook violently, she appeared behind Mu Ziyu without any warning.
"Bang!" With a raised hand, a powerful spiritual power directly sent Mu Ziyu off the ring, and she didn't even have the strength to fight back.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.
The next second, the whole audience erupted in excitement.
"Oh my god, she actually broke through the Sky-Splitting Realm!!!"
"How can the concubine of the Mu family be so amazing!!!"
"She just said her name is Mu Qinxin, right?!"
“That’s amazing!!!”
"How is this possible!" Mu Ziyu shouted in embarrassment from the audience, "How is this possible!!! You actually broke through the Sky-Splitting Realm!!!" Her eyes were red, and she clenched the whip tightly in her hand. She turned her head and glanced at Prime Minister Mu.
Prime Minister Mu's face was calm, without any emotion.
Mu Qinxin stepped down from the stage, and Mu Qi immediately walked up to her and patted her shoulder meaningfully, "Hahahahaha, okay, okay, Xin'er!!! You really are your good daughter!!! Your father was not wrong about you!!!"
Mu Qinxin smiled calmly: "Thank you, father."
Mu Qi nodded in satisfaction and promised, "I will reward you again when we return home."
Mu Qinxin nodded: "Yes, thank you, father."
