An incantation was cast, and a violent wind was created as the heaven and earth grew turbid.
Xin Xin’s clothes began to tremble, as a shocking hurricane swirled around him, quickly transforming into a majestic and powerful body completely formed by wind!
This was a Wind Flood Dragon! The hurricane created by pure willpower in between the Hovering Mountains was its body.
The violent wind and ardent flames clashed together. Wind Flood Dragon and Blazing Hibernating Sun came together. Neither had a beast type lineage, but both displayed shocking close combat abilities.
Moreover, their wind and fire type elemental control surpassed all other creatures, creating destruction amidst beauty!
It was extremely rare to see this level of fight in the Outstanding Experts Competition. During certain eras, the strongest of the Outstanding Experts in Zhengming Continent hadn’t even reached the immortal rank.
Talents and experts were everywhere. Being able to watch two immortal rank soul pets face-off In the Outstanding Experts Competition was enough to convict every person who was on the cultivation path.
Each wave of techniques was better than the last. It couldn’t help but make the spectators sigh.
Finally, Son of Wind Xin Xin, who had an enormous reputation, was still a level superior in terms of control compared to Divine Sect’s Lu Fenxue. He won this round.
Long after the fight ended, it was still possible to see violent gales and ardent flames that took ages to dissipate. People still had scenes of the fight lingering in their minds.
As for the victor, Son of Wind Xin Xin, who was dressed in white clothing, became the focal point of the scene. After this fight, his name would inevitably spread through the entire Zhengming Continent.
Both sides had decided to stop here and nothing unpleasant occurred. However, when Lu Fenxue walked off the battlefield, her face was somewhat unsightly.
Lu Xuefeng initially thought she had hope of defeating Xin Xin. However, after the fight, she finally realized the difference between their strengths. Even if they were at the same rank, she would have a difficult time surpassing her opponent.
Lu Fenxue returned to the main hovering mountain, and sat beside Lu Yuqin.
Lu Yuqin quietly consoled her: “You only lost one fight. It doesn’t matter.”
Lu Fenxue nodded her head and didn’t place too much attention on this. She had expected to lose.
She looked up at the nearby Ye Qingzi and asked: “I heard that she recently broke through and became our Divine Sect’s Immortal Teacher?”
“She doesn’t represent our Divine Sect.” Lu Yuqin glanced at Ye Qingzi and calmly spoke.
“If she doesn’t represent our Divine Sect, which side does she represent? Is there another place more worthy of her loyalty than Divine Sect?” asked Lu Fenxue, confused.
“She comes from New Moon Land. Naturally, like Mu Qingyi, she represents New Moon Land.” said Lu Yuqin.
“New Moon Land? What place is that? Is it a private territory? Of the representatives from private territories at this Outstanding Expert Competition, only Gu Ying, who comes from Sand City, is rather mighty. The rest are all subpar.” said Lu Fenxue.
In Lu Fenxue’s current world view, the strength of a faction could be seen in their placements in this Outstanding Experts Competition.
New Moon Land only seemed to have Mu Qingyi as a representative, and she was rather outstanding. However, that was it. A tiny private territory didn’t have the qualifications to obtain the loyalty of an Immortal Teacher.
“The strongest person from New Moon Land didn’t participate in this competition.” Lu Yuqin pointed to where Gao He was standing when she spoke.
”Lu Fenxue looked over and saw the back of Chu Mu. She asked: “Is he strong? What is his name?”
“He’s called Chu Mu. He’s New Moon Land’s king. From the rate of New Moon Land’s growth, he is definitely very strong, since he is their king. As for whether he participates in this competition, I’m not sure if that will happen.” said Lu Yuqin.
Lu Yuqin saw Chu Mu once in Divine Sect. She was able to clearly feel that his soul remembrance had gotten much stronger. She estimated that his strength was far above Mu Qingyi’s.
Lu Fenxue curiously examined Chu Mu. This was the first time she had heard of a young expert with obvious strength that didn’t participate in the competition.
“However, he’ll probably fight Tang Zhuo.” added Lu Yuqin.
“With Tang Zhuo?” Lu Xuefen showed a shocked expression.
“Tang Zhuo’s master, Tang Ang, has a grievance with another elder from a long time ago. Tang Ang and this elder wish for their disciples to settle this grievance. Chu Mu is the stand-in disciple by this elder, so he privately will have to fight Tang Zhuo.” said Lu Yuqin.
Lu Fenxue remained silent. Tang Zhuo’s reputation was even above Xin Xin’s. If things went as expected, he would be the champion of this Outstanding Experts Competition.
Yet, this person who wasn’t participating in the competition was going to fight Tang Zhuo. This fight would be extremely looked forward to.
“It’s Han Erxing’s turn.” calmly said Lu Yuqin.
Lu Fenxue nodded her head and her attention fell on Han Erxing.
Han Erxing’s strength was equal to Xin Xin’s. Lu Fenxue often fought Han Erxing and rarely won. Therefore, she was able to know that it would be difficult to defeat Xin Xin.
Han Erxing’s opponent came from Demon Beast Palace. He wasn’t particularly strong.
Han Erxing didn’t even summon his strongest soul pet and was able to defeat him; he even killed one of this opponent’s soul pets.
The Outstanding Experts Competition permitted killing. However, it was unusual for someone like Han Erxing, who obviously had the absolute advantage, to be merciless.
“What’s wrong with this fellow. Is he not afraid of Demon Beast Palace’s people finding trouble with him?” Lu Fenxue creased his brows.
Lu Yuqin saw Han Erxing’s somewhat jittery gaze and looked pensive.
After the fight ended, Han Erxing intentionally walked past Chu Mu and coldly harrumphed as he said: “You’re smart. If you participate in this fight and come across me, you’ll die very miserably.”
Han Erxing didn’t hide his hostility at all.
Chu Mu’s proud smile on that day had made Han Erxing extremely angry. With his current status, position, and strength, he didn’t need to hold back at all towards weaklings. Those he should look down on, he would look down on. Who had the ability to do anything to him?
“I have no interest in the competition of children.” indifferently responded Chu Mu.
“What did you say!” Han Erxing instantly got angry and he glared at Chu Mu.
“I have no interest in children’s competitions. Do I need to say it again?” Chu Mu said neither rushed nor slowly.
Chu Mu was someone who enjoyed being low key. But this didn’t mean he would cower in the face of someone who wanted to take his woman.
Towards these people, Chu Mu only wanted to do one thing: crush them under his feet; mercilessly crush them!
“Han Erxing go back to your seat.” Lu Yuqin walked up to the two of them and coldly ordered him.
Han Erxing glanced at Lu Yuqin, but didn’t listen. Instead, he pointed at Chu Mu and said: “He insulted me, and insulted all of us competitors.”
Lu Yuqin stared at Chu Mu with confusion.
Chu Mu looked at Han Erxing who looked like he was throwing a tantrum and laughed to himself. This fellow was so easily provoked. He promptly proceeded to explain: “I didn’t insult all of the competitors. But I did insult him.”
The moment he said this, Lu Yuqin, Liu Binglan, and Gao He all turned and looked at Chu Mu.
According to Lu Yuqin’s understanding of Chu Mu, he was an extremely low key person. He wasn’t someone to do anything brash, especially at a place with so many experts.
Liu Binglan had an even deeper understanding of Chu Mu, and she didn’t understand why he had intentionally said this. He was clearly provoking the other party. Could Han Erxing have provoked Chu Mu somehow?
Gao He quietly stood to the side, and looked with interest at the two of them. Initially, he couldn’t see how Chu Mu was outstanding. However, there were very few people that would dare insult Han Erxing in the entire Zhengming Continent.
“Master Official Lu, you heard it yourself.” sneered Han Erxing.
Han Erxing came here to provoke something from Chu Mu. He never expected Chu Mu to be so complying.
“Return to your seat.” Lu Yuqin repeated her statement.
Han Erxing didn’t want to offend Lu Yuqin and ultimately returned to his competitor seat. As he left, he didn’t hide his hostile gaze at Chu Mu.
“Han Erxing, why are you and him in conflict?” curiously asked Tang Zhuo and Xin Xin.
Han Erxing didn’t hide it, and told them about when he bumped into Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.
“He said that our competition is but a child’s play, and that he can’t be bothered to participate?” Han Erxing didn’t need to add any false details to the story as Chu Mu’s words were enough to provoke them.
Indeed, Tang Zhuo and Xin Xin scoffed at Chu Mu’s words. If he really had some ability, then he should come down and fight. Why would he call the most influential young generation competition a child’s play?!
“How arrogant and insolent. Do the two of you have any methods that can drag him into this? I really want to see what kind of qualification he has to say something like that.” Xin Xin was the first one who couldn’t sit still.
“Hmph, there are many methods. I’m just afraid he’ll withdraw!” sneered Han Erxing.
“My teacher is calling me over. The two of you think of some way to teach him a lesson. A tiny New Moon Land is showing themselves off in front of us. We have no need to act all easygoing.” faintly smiled Tang Zhuo.
After speaking, Tang Zhuo stood up from his seat, and walked towards the five leader rank experts.
Tang Zhuo walked up to his family master, Tang Ang. Tang Ang was old, but amidst the age exuded a healthy robustness. His eyes that were full of wrinkles would occasionally be clouded over, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
“Master.” Tang Zhuo deferentially kneeled in front of Tang Ang.
No matter how arrogant he was, in front of this old man, he was but a tiny piece of dust. Tang Zhuo had never questioned his deference for Tang Ang before!
“After the Outstanding Experts Competition, you have an even more important fight.” slowly said Tang Ang.
“An even more important fight?” Tang Zhuo looked confused.
Tang Ang pointed his finger at Chu Mu’s seat and said: “This person is the disciple of an old friend with whom I have grievances. You will fight him.”
“Don’t lose, otherwise after a few hundred years, the loser will still be me.” calmly said Tang Ang. After speaking, he waved his hand and had Tang Zhuo retreat.
Tang Zhuo was stunned. Wasn’t the person his family master was pointing at, Chu Mu?!
Why was it that man again?
Tang Zhuo was secretly shocked. This person who had suddenly appeared had so easily entered the sight of these experts. Even his own master seemed to pay attention to him.
