At this moment, not only was the atmosphere inside the Xuanlei Pavilion extremely tense, but the Sword Inquiry Platform in Wanren City was also packed with people, all staring intently at the "big screen" in mid-air.
The number of people who came today was much greater than yesterday, and even the nearby streets were crowded with people.
Thankfully, flying is prohibited within Wanren City; otherwise, I can't even imagine how outrageous the scene would be.
In a corner, a human wall formed by several burly men surrounded the disguised Mu Shuangshuang in the center, blocking the flow of people around them.
The little scorpion also raised its head, its eyes fixed on the scene in the sky.
"Tsk tsk! I never thought my idiot husband would actually have a chance to make it into the top ten..."
"..."
Hearing this, Mo Chengxuan, who was also watching from the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This sounds more and more like Xiao Heizi's words...
Just then, the sound of two people talking came from not far away.
"This grouping is really clever; it just allows the core disciples of several super sects to stand at the very end..."
"Shh... Don't stir up trouble here! These people made it to the end because they're strong, what does it have to do with the group assignments?"
"Come on, look at the last five people, aren't they all disciples of super sects? Those powerful rogue cultivators were all killed by the sects' top geniuses!"
"Isn't there another superhuman strong guy...? I think he's pretty strong too, we might just have to fight him!"
"You have absolutely no idea! Let me explain... Huo Qingfeng, who fought to a draw with him, couldn't even last ten moves against Fairy Ning. No matter how powerful Fairy Ning is, she can't possibly be much stronger than Senior Sister Yao Xiangxue. Even Yao Xiangxue isn't a match for Shi Junfei... Based on this, this Superman Strong is nothing more than a stepping stone for the Tai Xuan Dao Sect!"
"Hey... I feel like there's something weird about your logic, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."
"I knew it! This competition was definitely rigged! Superman Strong is just... Ouch! That hurts!"
The man's expression suddenly changed halfway through his sentence. He clutched his backside and looked around warily. Seeing that everyone around him was intently watching the game, he scratched his head and said, "Strange... I think something stung me?"
"Stop talking nonsense! It must be some senior from the Sword Pavilion secretly reminding you! Shut your mouth right now!"
Back here, Mo Chengxuan frowned and said in a low voice, "Miss... this is Wanren City, you've gone too far!"
Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes and snorted, "Who told him to look down on my husband..."
"..."
Weren't you just criticizing someone yourself?
"What's there to be afraid of! It wasn't me who personally took action, otherwise this guy wouldn't be alive!"
As he spoke, he lowered his arm and tucked a small, jet-black scorpion into his sleeve.
"The sky...it looks like it's going to rain."
The girl looked up and saw that dark clouds were gathering in the sky. Just moments ago, the sky was clear and blue, but now it had turned gloomy.
"Miss, are you confused? This is Wanren City. Even if it rains, it's impossible for it to fall on our heads..."
"Yeah……"
Mu Shuangshuang gazed at the sky, then suddenly her expression changed. She flicked her sleeve, and the poisonous scorpion that was originally in her sleeve flew out, turning into a shadow and darting into the crowd.
Mo Chengxuan acted decisively, flicking out a burst of energy that turned the scorpion into minced meat. He frowned and turned back, asking, "What happened?"
Mu Shuangshuang rolled up her sleeves, revealing a scarlet wound on her snow-white forearm, from which a strange purplish-black color seeped.
She actually... got stung by the poisonous creature she was raising!
Mu Shuangshuang's expression gradually darkened, her eyes filled with an unfathomable gloom. "Xiao Mo... I have a... bad feeling..."
In the sky, the previously scattered dark clouds have completely converged, and the bright sunshine has now been swallowed up, leaving only a suffocating grayness.
The crowd below, however, remained oblivious, their eyes fixed on the game footage projected in the air.
Mo Chengxuan also sensed something was wrong and whispered, "Miss... perhaps... we should retreat first?"
"But……"
Before she could say anything, the crowd on the other side suddenly became noisy.
Turning my head, I was surprised to see two familiar faces.
Before coming to Wanren City, Mu Shuangshuang had been on the same boat as Ma Tianyu and Pang Shunan, so she naturally recognized them.
At this moment, the two figures, one strong and one thin, seemed to have gotten into a conflict with a group of people around them, and the commotion attracted a lot of attention.
Mu Shuangshuang frowned, her tone grave.
"Those are... people from the Xuanhuang Sect?"
...
Looking inside the Xuanlei Pavilion, the moment the fourth list appeared, Shen Yunhao had already guessed that the selection of participants in this final stage was definitely not completely random...
Of the ten people before the competition, four were disciples of the Sword Pavilion, four were disciples of major sects, and two were rogue cultivators. If you were to say that it was a coincidence, no one would believe it.
"So... was arranging me to be with Shi Junfei unintentional, or...?"
Shen Yunhao glanced subtly at the main seat on the viewing platform above, and tightened his grip on the Guixue sword in his hand.
On the opposite side, Shi Junfei had already stepped onto the arena with a blank expression, his indifferent gaze fixed on Shen Yunhao.
But Shen Yunhao clearly sensed a hint of mockery in the other person's eyes... which inexplicably sent a chill down his spine.
It was as if... the other party had seen through his superhuman strength disguise and was looking directly at Shen Yunhao's soul.
But if Shi Junfei really knew, why didn't he expose him immediately?
Although the tournament rules do not explicitly prohibit participants from disguising themselves, publicly exposing such behavior will still have some negative impact on the organizer, Jiange.
Still unable to find a solution after much thought, Shen Yunhao took a deep breath to calm himself down and slowly walked onto the arena.
"Fellow Daoist Superman, we meet again..."
Normally, Shi Junfei still maintains his gentle and refined demeanor. To be precise, he always acts this way before he unleashed that bronze-colored sword energy on Yao Xiangxue yesterday.
It's hard to believe that he once organized Tai Xuan disciples to hunt down Wu Yun'er in the Cangxuan Secret Realm...
Shen Yunhao clasped his hands slightly, "Senior Brother Shi! I've long admired you..."
"Actually, from the very first stage, I have been very curious about you, Fellow Daoist... Now that I finally have the opportunity to exchange ideas on swordsmanship with you, I am truly honored. I only hope that you will not be disturbed by other things and let your Daoist mind be disturbed..."
"!?!"
Shen Yunhao's expression hardened. "What do you mean, Senior Brother?"
Shi Junfei smiled slightly, raised his sword and pointed it diagonally, "It's alright... You'll know once we get out..."
Just then, the elder referee in the sky gave a command.
"The duel...begins!"
"Whoosh!"
The two fired almost simultaneously and clashed in the very center of the field!
