"Don't feel too guilty. These kinds of things often happen in competitions among cultivators. Winning or losing depends solely on whether one's cultivation is sufficient."
"Yes, it's already quite good that you've stayed and offered compensation."
"Thank you everyone!" Nan Yu and Nian Wanzhou quickly thanked them, then watched as the healer gave Tang Yi the pill.
A fierce fight has already broken out in the next arena, and all sorts of emotions are surging up. Meanwhile...
It was a peaceful and touching scene.
Soon, Tang Yi woke up. The pill was very effective, and his complexion immediately improved a lot.
Before Tang Yi fainted, he had only one thought in his mind: so many painful fists! When he woke up, he saw the owner of the fists, who was lying down with his arms crossed.
It would have been better if I hadn't woken up at all.
When you wake up, you still have to face other people's jokes and pity, as well as the cold indifference of your opponents.
Wait, something's off about the atmosphere. It's not like I expected... well, that eye-roll after a failure. What's going on?
When he opened his eyes, he saw that everyone was concerned about his injuries, even more so than his fellow disciples. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" Tang Yi felt very uncomfortable under their enthusiastic gazes and touched his face.
Hey, the spot that got punched is actually healed!
"I came to check your injuries after you stepped down. It's all thanks to that little girl... well, even though she defeated you, she was concerned about your injuries and brought you medicine." The healer pointed to Nan Yu and the other person who were standing to the side, showing concern for him.
That worried expression was genuine, for it was utterly sincere.
Tang felt a lump in her throat, unsure whether it was from embarrassment or from being moved.
With a loud "waaaaa," she covered her face and burst into tears.
The people around him quickly put their arms around him and comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry. Think about it, if someone goes easy on you, it's disrespectful. Everyone gives their all in the competition, winning and losing are common. You can always win next time!"
Tang Yi had no choice but to hold onto the older brother's arm tightly.
"Yes, take it easy. Look, that little girl is concerned about you too!"
Nian Wanzhou: The guys are actually pretty nice.
Tang wiped away her tears and sniffed: "Thank you, everyone. I'll adjust my mindset!"
"That's more like the Tang Yi I know!" The healer laughed, then patted Tang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you all for your concern. Please continue the competition; we'll head back to rest now!"
The matter has come to an end.
Nian Wanzhou went back to see the sect leader with a heavy heart. After learning what she had done, the sect leader was... well, how should I put it.
None of these tasks were reliable!
But what else can we do but spoil him? He agreed to it himself, so even if he gets ridiculed for using the White Dragon as a gimmick in the limelight, he accepts it.
"Sect Master, it's just... I won by accident, and I also..."
"I plan to compensate the other party because I think I went a little too far," Nian Wanzhou said nervously, her small hands twisting together, her head lowered, not daring to look at the sect leader's face.
The sect leader held his head in his hands, feeling truly heartbroken after hearing this. "I'll have my disciples make compensation later. As for you... never mind. Since you've forgotten to keep a low profile, then go for it! Go for it and let me see just how strong you really are!"
"Should I just withdraw? Ah... what?" Nian Wanzhou, who was planning to withdraw from the competition, was stunned when she heard this. She remained frozen for a long time before reacting. "Sect Master, you..."
The sect leader looked up and glared at her. "What do you mean, 'you'? You still want to quit after all this? No way! You better finish the match!"
Nian Wanzhou: "Sect Leader... are you telling the truth?"
"Nonsense, now that things are so open and aboveboard, let everyone see your prowess! Let the other sects know that you, Little White Dragon, are not just a pretty face hiding in the shadows!"
"Yes, Sect Master, thank you for your trust!" Nian Wanzhou jumped up happily.
The sect leader gave her a satisfied look, then waved his hand. "Alright, go and prepare for the competition!"
Nian Wanzhou left happily.
It's just that, I don't know how it turned out like this, one person won the competition because of their superiors, and the other agreed to continue doing it.
In short, everyone is happy. Let's talk about anything else later!
······
If they continue to play this childish game, Nian Wanzhou has already won three matches.
The elders who learned of this were baffled and very puzzled. When did the sect leader become so frivolous? Could it be that spending too much time with Yuheng has made him a fool?
Yuheng, who was being stared at: Don't look at me! Why are you looking at me! I haven't even said that he's corrupting my daughter yet!
Until the elder in charge announced again: "The winner is Nian Wanzhou of the Tianji Sect!"
Big news!
This year's dark horse is actually an unknown body cultivator from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and he's very young—no, still a child.
The age listed is twenty-one, but he looks like a five-year-old child. Perhaps he is the cub of some kind of spirit beast. It is extremely rare for a normal cultivator to achieve this level at such a young age, and it is also unlikely that they can maintain a youthful appearance indefinitely.
Not only is it inconvenient, but it also makes it easy to miss a good opportunity.
The focus is still on physical cultivation.
For thousands of years, I have never seen a cultivator who has mastered body refinement, let alone cultivated it alone.
Even the Forbidden City Immortal cultivates both sword and body, but with a greater emphasis on sword cultivation. It's rare to find someone who only cultivates body; only the Heavenly Mystery Sect has such an oddity.
This is also because cultivators value their reputation. Their battles are always filled with an ethereal, otherworldly aura. They are capable of unleashing unparalleled sword techniques, unleashing explosive talismans, refining awe-inspiring magical weapons, and creating elixirs to save the world. That is what it means to be a cultivator.
