The second day of sparring came to an end in a dull atmosphere.
It could not be said that this day's sparring was not as exciting as yesterday's. In fact, the cultivators on the second day's sparring had displayed even higher combat abilities.
However, even if it was the sparring between the two champions, the repercussions after the end were far inferior to those of the previous day.
This was because all the spectators, and even some of the participants who had witnessed Chu Mo's sparring today, were somewhat distracted.
Yesterday's defeat.
Today's victory.
Yesterday's defeat at the hands of a half-step Heaven's Equal.
Today's defeat at the hands of a Heaven's Equal stage powerhouse.
Why was it so strange?
When they thought about Chu Mo's identity and background …
Suspicions and speculations grew like the grass under the spring breeze.
However, these suspicions and speculations could not be shown in public.
Those who could be shown in public were naturally the people on the high platform.
The people on the high platform were much more suspicious than the people outside.
When Chu Mo had used the Primordial Chaos Rope according to the instructions in the jade token, they knew that Chu Mo would win.
They even knew that Chu Mo would achieve an unprecedented victory on the 372nd move.
In the end …
Chu Mo won as expected.
However, he did not win on the 372nd move. Instead, he won more than a hundred moves in advance.
They had obtained the result they wanted …
However, the process by which Chu Mo achieved this result for them was beyond their expectations.
This was the reason why the powerhouses in the hall had been silent ever since they left the high platform.
After an unknown period of time …
"Which elder of your sect made that jade talisman?"
Seeing that the powerhouses seemed to be targeting the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, Sect Master Yuan Shang frowned and said calmly, "It was made by Liao Qing."
The powerhouses trembled when they heard Liao Qing's name.
"Your sect's Elder of Imparting Techniques?"
"Yes."
"Then there's no problem … Uh, Sect Master Yuan Shang, I don't mean anything by it, it's just that …"
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "As the Elder of Imparting Techniques, Elder Liao Qing used Fellow Daoist Yulan's disciple as a foundation to create a path of victory for Chu Mo. It should be flawless."
When the big shots heard that, they did not care about what they were thinking and nodded their heads.
"After all, the level is too high …"
"Not to mention the Elder of Imparting Techniques."
"If that's the case, then Chu Mo was able to win a hundred moves in advance. Moreover …"
…
At this point, the big boss fell silent. The hall, which had just come to life, fell into silence again.
Chu Mo's victorious move once again appeared in everyone's mind.
That move was very ordinary, and most of the people present knew that it was called the Mixed Element Three Li Fire.
Even if they weren't from the Chaos Element Immortal Sect, as the joint elders of the Human-Demon Battlefield, they were still able to discern their true nature with a single glance.
However, under Liao Qing's arrangement, what was the Three Li Fire of Mixed Elements used for?
It was not used to win, but to deal with the enemy.
This was also within the scope of their knowledge.
But on the contrary, Chu Mo used this move to win the spar over a hundred moves in advance.
What caused this move to undergo such a drastic change was …
"Then, when the time comes … will it really work?"
Finally, a big shot couldn't hold back his doubts and broke the silence in the hall.
The expression of one of Yuan Shang's subordinates darkened when he heard this.
He was Liao Qing. Among everyone in the hall, he could not accept Chu Mo's move the most.
As the Imparting Techniques Elder of the Chaos Element Immortal Sect, he was the benchmark of all the cultivation techniques in the sect.
In order to ensure Chu Mo's victory, he had described the move perfectly in the jade talisman. In order to ensure that Chu Mo's victory would not be questioned, he had also held back.
In any case, not only did he not teach anyone a move like the Three Li Fire of Mixed Elements that could not be used as a winning move, but he had also never thought about using it in a head-on clash.
However, this was something that he had never thought about. In Chu Mo's hands, it shone with brilliance that he did not know.
The big shot who voiced his doubts was not asking him.
However, Liao Qing knew that he had to speak.
"This …" Liao Qing felt that he had lost the courage to speak. After a long time, he said, "Maybe it was just a blind cat running into a dead mouse."
Even a pig could hear how uncomfortable Liao Qing was at this moment.
Hence …
Although they scoffed at this, the big shots did not say anything. Instead, they nodded and let this go.
Then …
"Hehe, what do you think of this Chu Mo, Grand Elder Mu Zun?"
The silent Mu Zun shook his head with a wry smile. "Only now does the Old Man understand that Chu Mo's rejection of the Old Man is not without reason. At the very least, this bit of providence …"
Liao Qing, who had been rather nervous, felt much better when he heard this. He gave Supreme Wood Great Elder a grateful look.
However, everyone knew that the providence Mu Zun spoke of should be replaced with enlightenment.
"Hehe, that's right. If I had known that Chu Mo would have this much providence, I would not have troubled Elder Liao Qing." Yuan Shang said with a smile. He then stood up and said to Liao Qing, "That's why I'll have to trouble Elder Liao Qing for tomorrow's sparring session. After all, who can predict something like providence?"
Liao Qing felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Sect Master, the Old Man will take his leave."
"Haha, alright, let's go together."
After the two of them left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze and became pure.
"Sigh, the Old Man actually made a mistake. This Chu Mo is really a treasure …"
"Tsk tsk, the Technique Imparting Elder's arrangement could be changed and even succeeded!"
"That's not all. We've all seen the jade talisman. Who realized that the Three Li Fire of Mixed Elements could be used at that time?"
"Now it seems that the timing was built on the premise that he had a thorough understanding of the Three Li Fire of Mixed Elements …"
"No, understanding the Three Li Fire of Mixed Elements isn't the main point. The main point is … Didn't you feel it? To be able to meet force with force at that time and believe that he would definitely win … Where did Chu Mo get this kind of scheming and experience? "
"Yes, this kind of choice can't be made by someone who has not experienced killing! Grand Elder Mu Zun, you've really picked up a treasure … "
…
What everyone said was what Mu Zun was thinking.
However, Mu Zun did not dare to believe it. He smiled bitterly and said, "Now that you've said it, the Old Man thinks it's his luck."
"Haha!"
"Grand Elder is really funny …"
"Whether it's luck or strength, the truth will be revealed tomorrow!"
"Haha, I'm sure Elder Liao Qing will be more serious about it …"
…
Just as Liao Qing was staring at Chu Mo's opponent tomorrow, wanting to see his internal organs clearly so that he could come up with a way to win without any loopholes …
"Hahaha, Big Brother, Big Brother, please accept my bow!"
Chu Mo, who had run into the Ancient Stairway Tower, slid to his knees and knelt in front of Xie Tian, who was watching the jade talisman with great interest. His eyes were filled with disbelief, excitement, and worship.
