Even though Yao Yu was slightly surprised by Mo Wen’s performance during the Heaven List Tournament, her impression of him remained neutral.
“Miss Yao Yu, is that the guy who bet against you? He does not know his own strength.”
A youth walked towards Yao Yu. He was tall and strong, with an incredible wildness in his eyes. It was as though he was an untamable beast. However, when he looked at Yao Yu, his gaze was respectful, humble even. It was because he was well aware of Miss Yao Yu’s position in the Demon Gods Alliance.
“Alec, what are you doing here?” Yao Yu said. She didn’t have much of an impression of this young master of the Golden Wolf Clan. She merely knew his name.
“Miss Yao Yu, rumor has it that the youth from Hua Xia Country has offended you and has a bet with you. A small fry like him does not deserve to have you handling him personally. I am at your service.”
Alec bowed elegantly, as though he was a knight ready to fight for his goddess.
Alec was the son of the Golden Wolf Clan clan leader. He was a pureblood and was incredibly talented. He was one of the candidates to become the Golden Wolf Clan clan leader.
If Mo Wen was here, he would surely be able to recognize this youth. He was the member of the Wolf Clan that Mo Wen had previously met at the Treasure Palace Hall. When they last met, Alec was with Stunning Snow from the Gods Alliance. Mo Wen and Alec were at odds with each other.
Alec looked up slowly and stared coldly at Mo Wen. Last time, he had lost to Mo Wen in front of Stunning Snow. It was a humiliation for him. He must avenge himself no matter what.
Over the past few days, Alec hadn’t found any opportunities to take revenge on Mo Wen. Of course, when he found out that Mo Wen had a bet with Miss Yao Yu, he knew that the opportunity had come. Moreover, it was a chance to kill two birds with one stone.
The Golden Wolf Clan was a branch of the Wolf Clan, and the Wolf Clan was a part of the Demon Gods Alliance. With Miss Yao Yu’s position in the Demon Gods Alliance, if Alec could befriend her, his importance in the Golden Wolf Clan would surely increase as well. He might even be able to easily trample other Golden Wolf Clan successors under his feet.
If he could proceed a step further and win Miss Yao Yu’s favor, then it might even be possible for him to become the clan leader of the entire Wolf Clan.
When Alec found out that Miss Yao Yu was in Dragon City, he knew that he certainly couldn’t miss this chance to get acquainted with her.
“You?”
Yao Yu glanced at Alec with a peculiar gaze. Then, she said calmly, “This battle is related to my marriage. Could it be that you think you are qualified to interfere with it?”
Even though Yao Yu’s tone was indifferent, Alec could sense the chilliness in her speech. Their bet was related to Miss Yao Yu’s marriage! How was this possible? Alec felt a chill gushing towards his brain from the bottom of his feet. His eyes were full of disbelief.
“I’m sorry, Miss Yao Yu. I didn’t mean to offend you. I know that you had a bet with Mo Wen, but I didn’t know the details of the bet.”
Alec bowed humbly, cold sweat covering his forehead. Miss Yao Yu’s bet with Mo Wen was actually related to her marriage! How could this be possible? Why would Miss Yao Yu agree to such a bet?
Alec had only arrived in Dragon City recently, so he didn’t know anything about Miss Yao Yu setting up a challenge ring to seek a husband. If he knew, God knows what kind of expression he would have on now.
Yao Yu ignored Alec. She continued to gaze at the challenge ring below. When her gaze passed over Gu Jingman, a look of interest flashed in her eyes. Her soul sensory ability was very sharp. Even some of the Hua Xia Country’s Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators could not compare with her. That woman gave Yao Yu a very mysterious and terrifying feeling. It was impossible for ordinary people to make her feel this way.
Alec lowered his head. His gaze swept over to Mo Wen in the challenge ring below, and his eyes burned with a raging jealousy.
How was it possible? How could Miss Yao Yu agree to such a bet? In the entire Demon Gods Alliance, Miss Yao Yu was definitely a sacred and inviolable existence. He did not even dare to think of ending up with Miss Yao Yu.
…
Xin Wuji had successfully secured the first challenge ring, causing many of the strong young practitioners that were eyeing the first challenge ring to all fall silent. A strong enemy that could defeat Dark Hand gave every one of them quite a lot of pressure.
“Amitabha, benefactor Water Deity, to encounter such an opponent, I cannot resist feeling ambitious,” Wine and Meat Monk said in a low voice as he put his palms together.
At the next moment, he had already leaped up and jumped from the third challenge ring straight to the first challenge ring.
Water Deity’s eyebrows froze slightly, and her gaze turned towards the first challenge ring. Both she and Wine and Meat Monk had the ability to contend for the first challenge ring. Also, they would certainly contend for it. It was just a matter of who made the first move and who acted later.
The battle between Wine and Meat Monk and Xin Wuji was of utmost importance to her. No matter who won, it meant that she would attack soon.
Wine and Meat Monk’s power was steadfast and vast, belonging to the type that was upright and just.
Among Dark Hand, Water Deity and Wine and Meat Monk, the latter was the strongest of them in terms of the depth of their cultivation and solid foundations.
Dark Hand was no match for Xin Wuji because the environment of the challenge ring was a mode of combat that he was not proficient in. At the same time, some of his techniques were also countered by Xin Wuji. But an upright ancient martial art practitioner with vast power was the most likely type to defeat Xin Wuji.
Water Deity knew that if Wine and Meat Monk could not defeat Xin Wuji, her chances of beating him would also be very slim.
The battle between Xin Wuji and Wine and Meat Monk began immediately. Both of them had a power that was frightening beyond compare. For them to clash head-on was like two volcanoes clashing against each other. The entire challenge ring was trembling slightly.
Wine and Meat Monk’s power was vast and seemed endless. Xin Wuji’s power was also frightening beyond compare. This battle attracted everyone’s attention. Visually, it was far more astonishing than the previous match against Dark Hand.
“That monk’s power is absolutely frightening. It most likely has already surpassed the pinnacle of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Third Realm and is gradually approaching the level of an ultimate warrior.”
Xin Yichuan’s expression turned serious. Wine and Meat Monk was different from Dark Hand. He was the type of ancient martial art practitioner with upfront power. Although such ancient martial art practitioners did not have any specialties, they also did not have any major flaws. It was instead harder to defeat such ancient martial art practitioners.
Although Xin Yichuan was also a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he would most likely be turned to dust with a simple palm strike from the Monk.
“Young Master Genta,” the black-robed Martial Arts Grandmaster said with a somewhat nervous look. Their clan had paid such a high price. If they could not get first place, setting aside the size of their losses, it would be a disgrace to the clan. After all, even their clan’s sacred level familiar had been utilized. With this sort of cheating method, if they actually could not get first place, they would most likely become a laughingstock.
“Relax. The Day Scorpion Familiar is the most powerful of our clan’s four sacred level familiars. Among the sacred level strong practitioners in all of Fu Sang Country, it is an existence that can even rank among the top ten. Even some slightly weaker sacred level ancient martial art practitioners would not be able to handle Xin Wuji possessed by the Day Scorpion Familiar, let alone ordinary ancient martial art practitioners,” Genta said very confidently.
The Day Scorpion Familiar was a pillar of their clan. At the same time, it was also one of the familiars that firmly supported his lineage. If it wasn’t for the Day Scorpion Familiar, how could he possibly be confirmed as the clan’s successor so quickly?
…
The battle in the first challenge ring grew fiercer and fiercer. The clashing of powers was awe-inspiring. Right now, even the spectators in the Divine Dragon Nest could feel the might of their powers, let alone the participants.
“So powerful! Most likely the power of one of their palm strikes is enough to collapse a mountain.”
Wan’er covered her small mouth with one hand. She watched the challenge ring battles below with big round eyes, her gaze full of astonishment.
“This is a legendary battle between two pinnacle strong practitioners. This is the grandest stage for the world’s ancient martial art practitioners!”
Wang Qian had an excited look on her face. Right now, she felt her blood boil with excitement. If only she could also be as powerful one day and stand on the stage that tens of thousands of people had their eyes on now.
Tang Zhizhi also tightly clenched her fists. Although she was a Huatian Palace Executor, she did not usually get to come in contact with such strong practitioners.
“I have participated in four Martial Arts Circle Conventions. This one is the most astonishing one.”
In the corner of Divine Dragon Nest, Granny Hong Yan softly sighed. To be able to see such a once-in-a-lifetime battle between strong practitioners, she already had no regrets. As the Yanxia Sect’s Sect Grand Elder, she had witnessed the Yanxia Sect in its prime. Previously, the Yanxia Sect had also made it into the top ten of the martial arts circle.
However, compared to the strong practitioners in the challenge ring now, the difference was too vast. Even the Inner world sects behind them would be left in despair against such a power, let alone their mere Yanxia Sect.
In this round of the Martial Arts Circle Convention, it was likely that all of the main space ancient martial art practitioner sects would be reduced to spectators. This was no longer their stage.
No! There was an exception.
The Dafang Sect!
Granny Hong Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at the youth sitting cross-legged in the sixth challenge ring. She had never imagined that this youthful sect leader would actually be so powerful. It was laughable that, before this, she had thought that the Dafang Sect would be eradicated by the Crimson Star Sect.
Actually, when Mo Wen had appeared in Mechanized Maze City, she felt inexplicably shocked. To her greater surprise, this youth would actually go on to sweep his way into the top ten, and even have the frightening ability to contend for the top three.
“So, the difference between me and him was the difference between heaven and earth.” Ruan Feixia’s eyes stared at the challenge ring below as a regretful look flashed in her eyes.
…
The battle on the first challenge ring was getting fiercer. It was about time for the winner to emerge.
“He will lose.” Mo Wen retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly. It was almost certain that Wine and Meat Monk would lose this battle. Mo Wen had not expected that the guy named Xin Wuji would actually be so powerful. Xin Wuji had been more powerful than Wine and Meat Monk to begin with. The more terrifying thing was Xin Wuji’s power actually kept increasing during the battle. Under the circumstances where one was losing strength while the other was gaining, Wine and Meat Monk’s situation was getting worse.
Besides, Mo Wen felt something was strange. Ancient martial art practitioners would gradually expend some of their power in a battle. It was impossible for their Inner Qi to be maintained at the most powerful state. But Xin Wuji was different. He seemed to have endless power, as though his Inner Qi could not be used up at all.
Against such an opponent, if one could not completely suppress the opponent with their attacks, they would undoubtedly lose if the battle dragged on.
As expected, after a rumble from a collision, Wine and Meat Monk was sent flying out of the challenge ring and was defeated by Xin Wuji.
“No one can get in my way.” Genta looked at the challenge ring battles below. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold, cruel smile. The reward for first place in the Heaven List made even the stubborn hidden martial arts strain drool over it. If he could obtain it, becoming a sacred level strong practitioner was inevitable.
