Wine and Meat Monk's defeat caused the atmosphere among the competitors to become even more solemn. Who would have thought that the dark horse who had appeared out of nowhere would be so powerful?
Xin Wuji had won two matches in a row. Moreover, he had won against top strong practitioners who could possibly become the champion. The atmosphere in the Divine Dragon Nest had reached its peak.
Everyone's gazes were focused on the first challenge ring, on the youth called Xin Wuji.
Could it be that he would be the champion of the Heaven List this year?
A humble smile hung on Xin Wuji's face as he tried his best to keep himself calm. An absolute powerhouse should have a temperament that was as immovable as a mountain, but his heart was already in turmoil. If they were not in the challenge ring, he would definitely have shouted out loud in excitement.
The Heaven List Tournament was the most watched stage in the world. He had never dreamed that he would have such a day.
He did not rely on his own abilities. Lord Familiar had even controlled his body throughout the entire battle. He did not need to worry about anything. However, no one knew about the Day Scorpion Familiar. They only knew about Xin Wuji.
"That fellow is a bit difficult to deal with." Mo Wen's expression was serious. He had watched the two battles. He had some understanding of Xin Wuji. In terms of the depth of his cultivation, no one among the competitors could compare to him. He was very close to the level of an ultimate warrior.
Of course, close to the level of an ultimate warrior did not mean that he had the abilities of an ultimate warrior.
In reality, ultimate warriors were strong not because of their cultivation, but because of their understanding of the martial arts realm and the esoteric rules of heaven and earth. Any ultimate warrior had to master the path of esoteric rules of a esoteric rule. That was the minimum requirement.
Some terrifying ultimate warriors had not only reached the Grandmaster Realm in their martial arts teaching realm, but they had also comprehended the fledging stage of esoteric rules. They had even comprehended the fledging stage of several esoteric rules. Such ultimate warriors could be said to be comparable to existences who had become immortals.
Wine and Meat Monk had been defeated. Water Deity knew that her chances of winning were rather slim. However, no matter what, since she was here, she had to try. It was not in her character to not strive for the top.
Swoosh!
The third challenger was Water Deity!
"Miss Water Deity, please."
Xin Wuji made a gentlemanly gesture. Although he had fought two consecutive battles, it did not affect him much. That was because the Day Scorpion Familiar's power was endless. A battle of such intensity was almost no burden to the Day Scorpion Familiar.
"Please enlighten me."
Water Deity cupped her hands and bowed. Then, her figure disappeared from her original spot in an instant. In the next moment, the entire challenge ring was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist. Illusory figures seemed to be shuttling through the mist.
The silhouettes had strong visual interference. Coupled with the Water Fairy's ability to control water, it was difficult for the opponent to determine which was real and which was fake.
Water Deity's strength lay in her techniques. In terms of strength, she was a notch below Wine and Meat Monk, but with her exquisite techniques, even Wine and Meat Monk did not dare to underestimate her.
Among all the contestants, Water Deity was the best at defense. Layers of water shadows and mist overlapped each other tightly. Her real body was hidden in the mist and would only appear once in a while.
Faced with such an opponent, it was difficult for Xin Wuji to use all his power on Water Deity.
This battle was a rare stalemate. It lasted longer than Monk Jiu Rou and Dark Hand combined.
Water Deity, who was good at defense, gave Xin Wuji a headache. Although he was possessed by the Day Scorpion Familiar, the power that he could unleash through this body was limited. He could not completely crush Water Deity with just his strength.
However, as time passed, Water Deity gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. After all, there was always an opening in every defense. There was no defense in this world that could not be broken. When Water Deity's power could not pose a threat to Xin Wuji, she had already lost the possibility of winning. Defeat was only a matter of time.
"I admit defeat."
The battle lasted for half an hour. Water Deity suddenly retreated from the challenge ring and admitted defeat. Her figure flashed and returned to her challenge ring number three. After such a long battle, her Inner Qi had almost been depleted by half. If she continued to fight, it would have a great impact on her.
…
"Senior Sister has lost."
In a region of the Divine Dragon Nest, a woman in a white dress sighed softly. She was extremely beautiful, and her figure was graceful and voluptuous. She was like a ripe peach. This person was none other than Lin Qing, who had disappeared for a period of time.
Beside her, there were more than ten women in similar white dresses. The style of their clothes was the same. One could tell at a glance that they belonged to the same sect.
This place was where the Goddess Cult was located.
These ladies all looked very young, and their appearances were unique. When they were gathered together, it was as if a hundred flowers had bloomed, competing with each other for glory.
"Qing 'er, that youth is not simple. Your Senior Sister did not lose unjustly. I fear that even I will have to use some tricks to win against him."
Beside Lin Qing was a beautiful woman. She did not look very old. She looked graceful and had an otherworldly aura. She was actually Lin Qing's master! Although the woman looked very young, there was a sense of vicissitudes in her eyes that young people did not have.
There was a very strange phenomenon in the Goddess Cult. The higher the cultivation of a person, the younger they looked. It was not that they were young. In reality, Lin Qing's master was already over a hundred years old. She was old enough to be Mo Wen's grandmother.
The more one cultivated the Goddess Technique, the harder it was to age. Rumor had it that the most powerful Patriarch of the Goddess Cult looked like a young girl on the surface.
"That Xin Wuji is so powerful. Will he be the leader of the Heaven List Tournament this time?"
Lin Qing had not expected that it would be difficult for her master to deal with Xin Wuji. This sentence was far more shocking than defeating her Senior Sister. After all, her master was an existence that was close to an infinite powerhouse.
"It's hard to say. Until the end, no one knows the result. Also, didn't you notice that your Senior Sister clearly knows that she cannot defeat Xin Wuji, yet she fought with him for more than half an hour? Clearly, she was purposely weakening Xin Wuji's Inner Qi. What is her goal in doing this? "
Lin Qing's master, Chu Yunli, glanced at Lin Qing with a meaningful look.
"Could it be …" Lin Qing was shocked. "Senior Sister is helping someone else?"
Lin Qing was a successful woman in the business world. Naturally, she immediately thought of the reason. Her Senior Sister knew that she could not defeat Xin Wuji, yet she still fought with him for so long. It was certainly not for herself, but to pave the way for someone else.
However, who was worthy of her Senior Sister's help? How did her Senior Sister know that that person would definitely challenge Xin Wuji? After all, Xin Wuji had consecutively defeated the three top geniuses of the Hidden Martial Arts Strain. If other competitors wanted to challenge him, they would have to consider their own abilities.
The half-hour battle must have exhausted Senior Sister Water Deity greatly. This would undoubtedly affect her future competition.
…
Water Deity returned to her own challenge ring and sat down cross-legged quietly.
The first challenge ring, which had been the most competitive, had quietened down. For a moment, no one actually went up to challenge.
Xin Wuji stood on challenge ring number one. He was in high spirits. This feeling of being invincible was too wonderful. His gaze swept over all the competitors provocatively. He said with a hint of disdain, "Who else dares to come up and fight me?"
He had consecutively defeated the three top geniuses of the Hidden Martial Arts Strain. He had the right to say such words.
Mo Qingtian, who was talking to Mo Qingge, suddenly paused. He looked down at the challenge ring and said calmly, "Have those three little fellows all been defeated? Even if there is a variable, it is just so-so. No one can actually win." Mo Qingtian was stunned. A look of disappointment flashed in Mo Qingtian's eyes. The reason why the Martial Arts Circle Convention this time was different from the previous ones was to attract the absolute geniuses of the Hidden Martial Arts Strain. However, from the looks of it, the effect was not very ideal. None of the strongest geniuses of the Hidden Martial Arts Strain had actually appeared here.
Otherwise, how could the person who dared to cheat in the Heaven List Tournament be so arrogant?
Genta probably never dreamed that the meticulously planned plan of his clan had long been exposed to the eyes of others.
Indeed, the Day Scorpion Familiar had very powerful concealment techniques. He had possessed Xin Wuji's body, and ordinary immortal cultivators in the Primordial Soul Realm would not be able to see through him. The judge, who had become an immortal, had indeed not noticed anything unusual.
However, they had never imagined that the siblings Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian would be here. The dignified Deputy Head of Senate would actually come personally.
Mo Qingtian and Mo Qingge could easily see the problem with Xin Wuji at a glance. However, they did not expose him immediately. Instead, they wanted to use this opportunity to test the other participants.
"Since no one can defeat Xin Wuji, then there is no need for him to exist anymore. Humph, he dared to cheat in the Heaven List Tournament. He must be tired of living. "
A cold look flashed in Mo Qingtian's eyes. Although he was disappointed, he could not really let the person who cheated obtain first place in the Heaven List Tournament.
"Wait a little longer." Mo Qingge shook her head and stopped Mo Qingtian.
"Huh?" Mo Qingtian looked at his elder sister strangely.
"Perhaps someone else will challenge for first place." Mo Qingge's gaze looked towards challenge ring number six. It was where Mo Wen was.
"Elder sister, do you think that Mo Wen …" Mo Qingtian looked at his elder sister strangely. Although the power that Mo Wen had displayed earlier was strong, he was still slightly weaker than Water Deity and Wine and Meat Monk. The possibility of him winning against Xin Wuji was rather slim.
Mo Wen's current performance was already very outstanding. After all, he was only twenty years old. Among all the participants, he was the youngest. If he was given time, he would certainly far surpass the others.
"Regardless of whether he can win in the end, I know that he will definitely go to that challenge ring," Mo Qingge said plainly.
Mo Qingtian did not say anything more. His gaze was fixed on the arena below.
…
After Xin Wuji defeated Water Deity, the challenge ring temporarily quietened down. Some of the people who had originally wanted to try for first place all gave up. It was because Xin Wuji was too powerful. In a situation where there was no hope, no one was willing to take the risk.
Suddenly, Gu Jingman, who had been playing with her hair with her head lowered, looked at Mo Wen. An enchanting smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, Water Deity's eyes also looked at him. However, her gaze was very calm.
"Why are you looking at me?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gu Jingman.
"Little brother, aren't you ambitious and aiming for first place? Why are you afraid now? If you don't go, I won't be polite."
Gu Jingman blinked. She looked as if she would go if Mo Wen couldn't.
"You speak as if you can win if you go. Moreover, when did I say that I won't go?"
Mo Wen stood up. He looked at Water Deity and nodded slightly. When Water Deity looked at him, he understood. Just now, Water Deity had purposely stalled for time and depleted Xin Wuji's inner Qi. She most likely hoped that he could defeat Xin Wuji.
However, judging from the current situation, Water Deity had purposely depleted Xin Wuji's inner Qi, but it seemed to have no effect. Xin Wuji's inner Qi was still full and complete. (To be continued.)
