The elder in charge wasn't much better; he didn't even watch his own competition, turning instead to watch the incredibly fierce Nian Wanzhou's match.
The news of the competition spread to several sects, and many people turned to observe their sect leader, only to find him calmly drinking tea and chatting with others.
They said: Impossible, it's definitely not simple!
Fellow disciples who had already finished their matches: Isn't that Junior Sister? Why is she competing? What's going on?! If this is... wait, the Sect Master is too calm. Something's fishy. Even the most boisterous Sixth Elder hasn't come out to cause trouble.
It seems they deliberately kept it a secret, planning to surprise the sect today and make them proud.
Nian Wanzhou then encountered another sword cultivator.
It was the same handsome man who had helped her out before, Yin Shuyang, a disciple of the Guixu Sect, who was also a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
When Yin Shuyang realized he was facing the legendary Little White Dragon, he panicked. He had watched Little White Dragon fight several times before the match, and he was genuinely afraid of his movements and power.
If I were to hit him in his handsome face, I would be so embarrassed! How could I ever face anyone after being with her like that?
"Senior brother, can I withdraw?" Even though he knew there was no hope of withdrawing, he couldn't help but ask, trying to save face for himself.
His junior sister retorted, "You're just forfeiting already? Do you think it's shameful to lose, or is it shameful to think your master's loving education is shameful? You choose one."
Yin Shuyang: I choose to die.
"Junior brother, don't be silly. It's just the first level of the Golden Core stage. You're almost at the Nascent Soul stage now. Just consider it a trial for yourself. Maybe you can even learn something from it and advance directly." His senior brother comforted him. This was really possible. If it were him, he would definitely be very happy to do so.
Judging from the White Dragon's posture, he must be an extremely formidable opponent. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if we miss it, who knows when we'll get another chance.
Yin Shuyang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" He decided to go all out.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask the two to plead for him: "Senior brother, junior sister, please remember to say a few good words for me to Master!"
He knew that this trip would be extremely humiliating regardless of whether he won or lost, so he would do his best and accept his master's loving teachings.
Yin Shuyang picked up his sword and rushed forward after the elder in charge read the order.
"Guixu Sect, Yin Shuyang!" he shouted, leaping onto the stage.
Nian Wanzhou also stood up. Although she was small, she was full of momentum. She stepped onto the arena, clasped her hands and said, "Nian Wanzhou of Tianji Sect."
"It's you? I remember you helped me out before. I didn't expect to run into you here." Nian Wanzhou suddenly remembered that when she was laughed at in her first competition, it was this person who stood up for her and said a few words.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Yin Shuyang chuckled dryly. At that time, he thought that whoever was matched with this kid was doomed.
Who would have thought that it would be his turn now!
In contrast to Yin Shuyang's melancholy and sadness, Nian Wanzhou was very excited. She had won several matches in a row and had finally met some familiar faces.
"That's right, it's fate that brought us together. Come on, don't be shy, I'll hold back!" She waved her fist.
Showing mercy? What are you talking about?!
Yin Shuyang: "...No need, let's all use our full strength, otherwise it will be fair and just."
Actually, he didn't want to be scolded, so he had to use all his strength, because his master was watching them closely.
Nian Wanzhou thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then be careful!"
After she finished speaking, she began to skillfully gather spiritual energy, then clenched her fists and flew towards Yin Shuyang. With a loud bang, the ground of the barrier was shaken, and rubble flew everywhere.
Yin Shuyang quickly channeled his energy to form a sword move to defend, reacting swiftly to unleash several sword strikes in succession, directly sending Nian Wanzhou flying.
Finally, a small scratch was found on Nian Wanzhou's hand.
Although it was a very small scratch, looking like a mere scrape... it was still the first time the disciples had seen Nian Wanzhou injured, and they instantly felt that the opposing team had a good chance of winning!
(Actually, this was caused by Nian Wanzhou bumping into a large rock while hiding from Wei Wenru. It was a very hard rock, and it's unknown what kind of material it was.)
Before they could even celebrate, they saw Yin Shuyang almost slip and fall flat on his face.
As a result, a tremendous sense of oppression came from the air, making it hard for him to breathe. He slipped and almost fell.
This is……
The oppressive aura emanating from Nian Wanzhou.
Fortunately, there was a barrier surrounding them, so the not-too-strong pressure did not affect the people outside the barrier. It was only because Nian Wanzhou was under pressure for the first time that she felt this way.
It is a pressure unique to those with high cultivation levels who are not yet familiar with you.
Simply put, it means believing that the other side is more powerful and that you are afraid you can't win.
Yin Shuyang used his spiritual power to resist the oppressive force, while also constantly changing his moves to defend against Nian Wanzhou's swift and ferocious attacks.
He, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, was actually at a disadvantage against a mere child at the early stage of the Golden Core stage! Although he had expected this, being suppressed like this was truly unpleasant.
This battle is destined to become the focus of conversation among many cultivators of the Guixu Sect!
Yin Shuyang was also unsure of himself. He had thought that this little kid would at most be subject to ordinary suppression, but he never expected him to be so fierce, leaving him powerless to resist.
I thought I could win, but now...
This scene was also relayed outside. Chi Xing watched as his disciples were being suppressed with great difficulty. He turned his head and looked at the sect leader... It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because the guy looked so nervous.
They were almost standing up from their seats.
Completely contrary to his initial confidence, and moreover, there were quite a few disciples staring at him fiercely below.
What's going on with their sect?
In that moment of distraction, Yin Shuyang in the mirror image was sent flying by Nian Wanzhou's punch, blood trickling from his mouth as he rolled to the edge of the barrier.
Akahoshi:? ?
What happened?
He was sent flying without even glancing at them. Is he really that powerful?
Upon closer inspection, Nian Wanzhou had actually used an unknown fist technique again, his whole body was covered with white, thick spiritual power, and the force of his fist was extremely fierce.
If Yin Shuyang hadn't been a disciple at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all, but he almost vomited blood and fainted.
"No way, Chen Zhoubai!" Chi Xing shouted, grabbing the other's sleeve. "What... what do you mean? How could you cultivate to this level? Are you kidding me?!"
Chi Xing's almost out-of-control state was nearly seen by the disciples, but the sect leader pulled him back and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Keep a low profile. She achieved this entirely on her own. We're not telling you just to keep it a secret."
"Quiet down, this is all normal!" The sect leader also felt that what he said was normal, but he dared not say it out loud.
"What?! No way! You're so disloyal!" Akahoshi glared. "You actually did this behind my back! And I considered you a friend? You have no conscience!"
The sect leader sighed and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
He didn't want to either...
