No one would know...
Behind the duel, an invisible battle to determine the path to victory suddenly took place.
Even the authorities of the various Heavenly Gates who were aware of it only assumed that Liao Qing from the Hunyuan Immortal Sect would take the duel seriously so that he would not embarrass himself.
However, they would never believe that he would take the duel seriously to the extent that his hair was in a mess and his eyes were bloodshot.
Meanwhile, the other side of the duel did not feel the tension of the upcoming duel either.
To Xie Tian, the jade talisman was a precious tool to further verify the Heaven Equal Slaughter Dao that he had comprehended.
He was eager to learn the records of Chu Mo's opponents in the jade talisman, as well as the path to victory tailored for Chu Mo's opponents.
Not only was it an application of the Heaven Equal Slaughter Dao, but more importantly, it was a battle strategy that only a true Heaven Equal Slaughter Dao cultivator would possess.
Leaving aside the fact that the battle strategy might not be more advanced and useful than Xie Tian's battle strategy...
At the very least, it was beneficial for Xie Tian to understand this kind of battle mentality.
However, Chu Mo was unaware of it.
In his opinion, the reason why Xie Tian, who was staring at the jade talisman with a burning gaze, was most likely because...
"You might seem humble, but you're actually trying to slap me in the face again..."
He was utterly shocked when Xie Tian allowed him to win the duel over a hundred moves in advance.
However, he did not expect Chu Mo to win the duel with a single move after looking at the jade talisman for a few more hours!
Even though the astonishment in his heart had mostly dissipated, it was not replaced by calmness, but pity.
"I guess I'll have to ask him after the duel tomorrow..."
Chu Mo thought as he glanced at the jade talisman in Xie Tian's hand.
However, he had no idea that Chu Mo had something even more insane than a duel.
The next day, the weather was clear.
Even though the Human-Demon Battlefield was still bathed in a pale, cold light, it was obvious that the South-Heaven Gate, which had calmed down after the conferring ceremony, had become lively again.
The reason for the change was none other than the duel.
The sparring session had always been lively, and Chu Mo had put on such a good show in the past two days, causing the liveliness to become even more clamorous.
The number of onlookers outside the encampment had increased by several times. While they raised their heads in anticipation, they discussed among themselves.
"What's going on? Which big shot has figured it out? Tell us!"
"What else could it be? This Chu Mo is indeed a scheming fellow …"
"On the first day, he was defeated by a Half Step to Heaven's Equal. On the second day, he beat up a Mighty Equal to Heaven's Equal. Tsk tsk, he really knows how to play!"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Have you forgotten the situation Chu Mo was in recently? What's wrong with using some schemes to change my situation? "
"That's nothing, but his method is really … perverted! How many people can win against an almighty being, Heaven's Equal? "
"You're exaggerating. After all, it's just a sparring session. To Heaven's Equal stage experts, it's limited by at least seventy to eighty percent. Do you really think that this proves that Chu Mo is a demon that can surpass realms and defeat Heaven's Equal stage experts?"
"That's not it. After all, this kind of monster only exists in the Ancient Heavenly Stairway, but …"
"Stop talking. He's here. Look!"
…
On the third day, Chu Mo was different from the previous two days.
On the first day, he was confused.
On the second day, he hesitated.
The second day was peaceful.
He was as calm as ever.
Seeing this calmness, the crowd was even more certain of their guesses.
And when the participating sky-prides saw this calmness, they could not help but frown.
"This kid …"
"Chu Mo, the last disciple of Elder Tyranny of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect. After Tyranny's death, his situation is not that good, so …"
"Ha, do you really believe the speculations of those ordinary people outside? Such a person's every move is more than this! "
"Then what you mean is …"
"I don't dare to say anything else, but I have a feeling that this sparring session might have something to do with Chu Mo!"
…
This group of sky-prides could not be blamed for letting their imaginations run wild.
Chu Mo's completely different behavior over the past two days could only mean one thing — Chu Mo, or the person behind him, was doing everything possible to help Chu Mo build up his momentum.
To say that Chu Mo was trying to change his situation in such a grand occasion was making a mountain out of a molehill. Only a grand scheme was worthy of such a grand occasion.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with Elder Mu of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect …"
There were some things that they did not dare to say out loud.
But thinking about how Elder Mu wanted to take Chu Mo as his disciple …
The sparring session that was suddenly held after the Feng Sheng Meeting …
And Elder Mu's promise to be the champion of the sparring session …
"Heh, as expected of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, one of the two clouds. Such methods are admirable …"
This kind of discussion spread rapidly among the participating sky-prides.
After realizing that this sparring match was just a game of chess for the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, and that the massive opportunities and benefits represented by becoming the champion of the competition had nothing to do with them, most of the prodigies were no longer interested in the sparring match. Instead, they became more interested in watching the show.
Only …
Except for two people.
However, when the two of them saw Chu Mo walking over, they did not mock or sneer at him. They only looked at Chu Mo indifferently.
One had to know that they did not look at anyone before.
Being able to look at Chu Mo for even a second longer was blasphemy to them.
And in their hearts, they were all thinking the same thing —
"How did a piece of trash who hasn't even passed the Ancient Stairway Tower successfully make me dislike him, heh …"
On the high platform today.
The big shots were all seated.
They, who were chatting and laughing, suddenly stopped when they saw Chu Mo appear. Then, they glanced at the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's Elder of Mentoring, Liao Qing, who was standing next to the high platform.
They had seen the second jade talisman.
While they admired Liao Qing's deep foundation and that he was worthy of being one of the two clouds, they could not help but laugh.
"Once the Elder of Mentoring gets serious, he won't give anyone a chance to live, hehe …"
"Who can say for sure about something like providence? It's better to be safe to avoid awkwardness when the time comes. It's understandable …"
"Young people are always impetuous. I didn't expect Elder Liao Qing to be so stubborn. There's going to be a good show today …"
"Haha, what if the second jade talisman is also …"
"What a joke. That's not the show I'm talking about! Do you really think the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's Elder of Mentoring doesn't care about face? "
"Hehe, speaking of which, I would rather see this kid defy the heavens. Unfortunately …"
"That's not a pity. How can Chu Mo deal with his opponent this round?"
…
All of Chu Mo's previous sparring sessions were very fast, and there was no sense of entertainment.
Almost everyone, including the geniuses participating in the battle, was thinking about how Chu Mo would perform today.
Soon, the referee on the stage announced, "Next round, Chu Mo of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect versus the Phecda Cliff's Soul Awl!"
The Phecda Cliff was one of the Three Waters of the Nine Skies, the Two Clouds, and the Three Water Mountains. It was outstanding for soul cultivation.
Many people's expressions changed when they heard the name of Chu Mo's opponent.
"Soul is his surname?"
"This Soul Awl has quite the background!"
