"Who is this?"
"Is this fatty the Jin Bao'er?"
"Damn, no wonder he didn't dare to show himself!"
"Huh... they're already like this, what's the point of fighting!"
For a moment, all the comments were one-sided! They all looked at Luo Nanshan with disdain, making his face turn red.
"Apologies... this disciple is late!"
As a clear and steady female voice echoed, a gust of wind blew, and a maiden in a pale blue pháp garment appeared on the Misty Sect's stage. She bowed to the Sect Master with her back to the crowd, then turned her gaze to a small old man.
"Master, don't be agitated, your disciple has returned, hasn't she?"
Actually, she had arrived a while ago, but her third senior brother insisted on her changing her clothes, which caused the delay.
The old man on the stage excitedly stood up, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"It's good that you're back! As long as you're back..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sect Master Xiao Baishan on the side stood up in shock. He looked at the maiden before him, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, but he didn't miss her cultivation level!
"You... you've already reached... Hahaha! Good! Very good... you are indeed a disciple of my Misty Sect! Hahaha! Go, bring glory to our sect!"
Jin Bao'er nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping past the shocked elders, and finally settled behind the Venerable Lou Yun... She curved her lips slightly.
"Little Senior Sister is also here! I didn't know when disciples were allowed to stand on the stage."
This remark instantly drew everyone's attention back. Su Xianzhi felt as if her clothes were torn off in front of others, her face instantly flushing red, furious!
"Huh? Who is this? She doesn't seem to have any cultivation..."
"I heard that Venerable Lou Yun's only disciple was beaten and lost all her cultivation during the trial. Could it be true?"
"..."
Even though Venerable Lou Yun had immediately blocked the news, it was too late. And at this moment, Su Xianzhi was disregarding the rules by standing on the stage...
"Su Xianzhi? What are you doing here? Quickly get down! Junior Brother! I know you dote on your disciple, but this is the scene of the grand competition. Don't be foolish!"
Xiao Baishan's words further confirmed Su Xianzhi's identity, destroying her last shred of dignity. All sorts of gazes were cast upon her, and despite her resilience, her eyes welled up with tears of anger.
Before Venerable Lou Yun could step forward to protect her, other disciples became displeased first!
"Jin Bao'er, you yourself are disregarding the competition rules, yet you dare to talk about Little Senior Sister! Haven't you seen that Fairy Linglong has been waiting for a long time? Are you afraid and just delaying the time!"
The disciple speaking was Xiao Shi, who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Ever since Jin Bao'er had gotten him punished last time, Su Xianzhi had deliberately kept her distance from him, making him furious! Although he couldn't see her cultivation level, he only wanted to help Su Xianzhi out of her predicament. The other disciples also hurried to change the subject, afraid that their goddess would be upset.
Su Xianzhi looked at them gratefully with red eyes, which gave them great confidence!
Jin Bao'er couldn't be bothered with these sycophants. She turned to Hua Qingsu.
"Master, this disciple will go to the competition now!"
The way her entire being was focused solely on her master, apart from Xiao Baishan, who stood awkwardly to the side, there was also someone who unconsciously pursed his lips, feeling a vague sense of discomfort. He even forgot to speak up for Su Xianzhi beside him.
After speaking, Jin Bao'er turned around directly, tapped her foot lightly, and swiftly flew towards the arena...
The scene, lasting only a few seconds, amazed everyone present!
The blue-robed maiden exuded a calm and serene aura, her gaze indifferent, her features exquisitely perfect without a single flaw. Her eyes were otherworldly and refined, and her raven-black hair was neatly tied at the back of her head, with a few stray strands framing her sides. As the breeze blew, her hair swayed, and she looked as beautiful as the Jade Maiden descending to the mortal realm!
Despite her extremely simple attire, it could not conceal her peerless beauty. A small cat slept soundly on her shoulder, looking incredibly adorable. The woman and the beast complemented each other perfectly.
As the maiden's feet landed, the blue and red directly stimulated the gaze of everyone. The blue was ethereally beautiful, while the red was fiery and unrestrained. Even standing there, the two of them were a captivating sight!
However, the beauty of the blue-robed maiden was clearly superior, forcefully overshadowing Yun Molinglong's redness.
The person who had just mocked Jin Bao'er's appearance was completely stunned, wishing he could slap himself. If she was ugly, then there would probably be no beautiful people in the world!
"Fairy Linglong has been waiting!"
Yun Molinglong snapped back to reality upon hearing the voice. The unrestrained expression on her face slightly receded, and she warily looked at the maiden standing gracefully before her!
Why... could she not discern this person's cultivation level? Could she be wearing some artifact to conceal her cultivation?
Before she could ponder, the referee finally seemed to gain some energy and declared with a booming voice.
"The match officially begins!"
With that, he retreated to the side, watching the stage with a look full of surprise and unexpected delight.
Recalling a few years ago, when this little girl had participated in the sect's grand competition, she was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. How long had it been since she reached the Golden Core stage? She might even put Venerable Lou Yun to shame!
However...
Law Elder smiled, and his mind couldn't help but recall that day when the bright-eyed maiden stood in the Law Hall, facing the Nascent Soul stage Venerable Lou Yun with only Foundation Establishment cultivation, and boldly uttered the three words "I refuse!" Perhaps everything had been predetermined then...
At the same time, the two on the stage finally made their move! Golden Core stage versus Golden Core stage... exciting just thinking about it!
Jin Bao'er did not choose to unleash her spiritual energy directly but instead took out a... wooden鸣 sword?!
This move indeed surprised everyone, and they all looked over in astonishment.
Little did they know, Jin Bao'er merely wanted to test the results of her cultivation over the past month! During this period, she had not only been refining pills but also tirelessly learning attack skills. Cultivators placed more emphasis on cultivation, so strength was her weakness. If she wanted to overcome it, she had to work even harder.
Yun Molinglong was also taken aback by this, but she did not let her guard down, raising her hand to unleash a spiritual energy impact.
The two quickly clashed on the stage. The seemingly fragile wooden鸣 sword blocked the opponent's long sword attacks time and again, each move carrying a hint of casualness...
A moment later, Yun Molinglong finally grew anxious. The opponent had no intention of fighting seriously; she was purely practicing!
"Jin Bao'er! You damn it, fight me!"
A beauty's angry expression was indeed pleasing to the eye, but this foul language... greatly damaged her aesthetic appeal. As expected of someone from the Beast Taming Sect!
As she spoke, Jin Bao'er also assessed the opponent's strength. It seemed she wasn't a suitable opponent for her. Thus, she lightly flipped the wooden鸣 sword, her aura suddenly turning sharp, with a faint white light emanating from her body. The next second, she charged forward!
This simple strike carried an unshakable and powerful spiritual energy. With absolute strength, she directly sent Yun Molinglong flying...
The outcome was decided with a single move. Not only were the members of the Beast Taming Sect stunned, but even the audience and Yun Molinglong herself were dumbfounded!
