The first day of the sparring session organized by the Hunyuan Immortal Sect had ended perfectly.
The two prodigies who were viewed as favorites to win the Ancient Sky Stairwell trial had the most eye-catching performances.
However, not many people were talking about them.
Because to them, this was the most normal situation, so no one would be too surprised.
And it just so happened that Chu Mo's performance in the sparring was unparalleled, and he became the focus of everyone's discussion within and outside the sect.
In the past 50 years, Chu Mo had successfully molded himself into a rare prodigy through the Ancient Sky Stairwell trial.
This prodigy had advanced by leaps and bounds in the Ancient Sky Stairwell trial with a cultivation base that was not even half a step into the Heaven's Equal stage. He had then broken the record for those who were not half a step into the Heaven's Equal stage to pass the first stage, the aptitude stage.
Naturally, this was the position everyone had of Chu Mo.
This position was extremely high. Not many people believed that Chu Mo would be able to pass the remaining stages in the next few hundred years and obtain the right to participate in the next Ancient Sky Stairwell trial …
However, everyone believed that Chu Mo was definitely one of the most powerful Heaven's Prides who had the qualifications to do so, regardless of his cultivation level.
However, a sparring session organized by Chu Mo's sect had exposed Chu Mo's true colors.
Yesterday's battle had completely overturned everyone's previous position. What replaced it was that he had cultivated until his brain was damaged. He was a naive idiot who thought that he had a master's protection.
"Not to mention the Human-Demon Battlefield, is the Nine Heavens really a safe place?"
"That's right. As a prodigy of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, he doesn't cultivate in killing. Ha, this is ridiculous!"
"It's very strange. Even if he doesn't cultivate in killing, doesn't the Hunyuan Immortal Sect have sparring sessions between disciples?"
"What's so strange about that? Who's his master? Tyranny! The most powerful elder of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect! Even if it's just a sparring session, who would dare to touch his last disciple? "
"Yes, because of his master's strength, everyone gave in to him. In the end, he thought that he was invincible. Heh … he really brought this upon himself!"
"Fortunately, this sparring session exposed his true colors. Otherwise, if the first elder really took him in and exposed him, then the first elder's face …"
"Haha, if you ask me, I'm afraid the sect leader will announce that Chu Mo is expelled from the sect before the sparring session starts tomorrow!"
…
The second day of sparring soon began.
The members of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect were finally able to see their sect leader.
However, contrary to their expectations, their headmaster didn't seem to be angered by Chu Mo's terrible performance. Instead, his face was full of smiles. As for expelling Chu Mo, he didn't even mention a word about it.
"Holy shit, Sect Leader, what is the meaning of this?"
"How could the Headmaster not react to such a humiliating matter?"
"That's not right. The Sect Leader cares about face the most. Think about the death of Tyranny's Elder. If it wasn't for Spiritual Mountain's good attitude, would the Sect Leader let Spiritual Mountain off?"
"Oh, I see!"
"What do you understand?"
"The Sect Master is probably waiting for Chu Mo to commit suicide as an apology to the sect …"
"Pu!"
…
Chu Mo did not commit suicide.
As he walked into the encampment, he seemed to be in a much better state than the day before. However, there was still no calmness and steadiness between his brows. Instead, there was a frown that represented hesitation.
"Why is he hesitating?"
"He's hesitating about whether he should go up and embarrass himself again!"
"Haha, whoever is his opponent today will probably laugh their teeth off …"
"Fuck, this kind of trash going up is a blasphemy to our vision!"
…
The big shots on the high platform also noticed Chu Mo.
And the hesitation between Chu Mo's brows was something they didn't like at all.
"Hmph, rotten wood cannot be carved. A real man has some things to do and some things not to do. We've already helped him so much. What is he hesitating for?"
"As long as he follows the instructions in the jade talisman, he can win even with his eyes closed. Hmph!"
"Could it be that this kid is planning on breaking through and devouring?
Breaking a jar? That doesn't make sense. Our arrangements are incomparably exquisite. It won't raise any suspicions. He can't even see this point, can he? "
"Hmph, I'll say this first. If he doesn't win today, I'll personally end him!"
…
Even Mu Zun, who originally didn't plan on appearing, made an exception and sat on the high platform.
After hearing Chu Mo's performance yesterday, he knew that this was extremely abnormal.
This was because he had seen with his own eyes how Chu Mo, whose cultivation and killing power were inferior to Xun Song's, had subtly and exquisitely countered Xun Song's killer move.
"Not to mention one opponent, even if it was two against one, he would still be able to handle it …"
Therefore, Chu Mo's loss in yesterday's sparring match had become a very strange matter.
"What is he trying to do?"
Even as intelligent as Mu Zun was, he didn't dare to confirm Chu Mo's goal for the time being. What made him even more suspicious was …
"Seeing his hesitation, what is it that makes him so conflicted?"
Subconsciously, Mu Zun thought of the jade talisman sent by the joint elders of the four Heavenly Sects yesterday.
Mu Zun knew very well what was recorded in the jade talisman.
Therefore …
"Could it be that he's hesitating whether to use the jade talisman or not?"
A trace of shock and anger flashed across Mu Zun's eyes when he thought of this!
He knew very well that if Chu Mo didn't use the jade talisman, he would definitely lose today even if he performed normally!
"His opponent today is the last disciple of Elder Yu Lan from the Three Pristine Daoist Sect!"
At this moment …
Yu Lan, one of the joint elders of the Western Heavenly Gate who sent his disciple, was chatting with the big shots with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, I'll have to trouble you this time, Fellow Yu Lan."
"Haha, don't mention it. If you were in my shoes, I'm afraid you'd do the same."
"It's just that your disciple has suffered a lot. But don't worry, Brother Yu Lan. After this is over, I'll definitely compensate your disciple to his satisfaction!"
"You're treating me like an outsider by saying that. Who doesn't make sacrifices to achieve great things? And to him, this is also a rare kind of training! "
"Hehe, Brother Yu Lan is right, but …"
"Fellow Daoists, don't worry. Nothing will happen to my disciple. As long as the kid in the ring follows the instructions of the jade talisman, it doesn't matter if he wins beautifully or flawlessly!"
…
On the high platform, people were talking loudly.
The sparring match on the ring was about to begin.
Looking at his opponent in front of him, the hesitation on Chu Mo's face deepened.
"My opponent is stronger than I thought …"
Not only was his opponent stronger than what he sensed from the jade talisman …
What made Chu Mo even more conflicted was that his opponent who had been exposed had a hostile expression on his face.
Chu Mo could understand why.
After all, it would be hard for anyone to lose a sparring match that they should have won in such a situation.
Not to mention …
The opponent he was about to defeat was an idiot who had lost so much face yesterday.
"If it was me, I'd probably rather die than submit …"
Thinking of this, Chu Mo's heart strangely calmed down.
At this moment …
The judge at the side announced the start of the sparring match.
Before he could realize what was happening, an invisible Dao net enveloped him, causing his expression to change!
