“Just kidding! Just kidding!”

Facing Shang YaoYao’s murderous look, Xu Mu quickly withdrew his hand.

“Address me as miss!”

Shang YaoYao gritted her teeth.

“Miss!”

“Hmph! I’ll let you off this time. If there is a next time, see how I deal with you!”

Shang YaoYao snorted coldly, turned her head away, and ignored Xu Mu.

Despite her tough words, her heart was beating wildly.

Damn it! Why is she behaving like this? Could she be falling for him? Impossible! Impossible!

Shang YaoYao’s thoughts were a jumble, and she was no longer interested in watching the match.

Elsewhere, a white-haired woman, the center of attention of the Sacrificial Sword Peak team, was expressionlessly watching the light screen above her head.

“Senior sister, do you want us to gather information on Luo Qingchen for you?” A disciple from Sacrificial Sword Peak asked in an attempt to ingratiate himself. “No need! If I need thorough preparation to deal with an ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage disciple then what qualifications do I have to compete for the top three against Lu Baiyu and Qu Qingdream!” Bai Yingwu said arrogantly.

Her words weren’t boastful but backed by substantial strength.

Lu Baiyu and Qu Qingdream were touted as exceptionally talented among the new disciples. They were undoubtedly ranked first, and the fact that Bai Yingwu dared to compare with them showed her confidence.

“Senior sister is right! I was overthinking!” The disciple said sheepishly.

On the other hand, Xu Mu’s opponent, Gu Jianyi from Ask Sword Peak, seemed to not take Xu Mu seriously, especially after learning that Xu Mu was a disciple of the Lonely Sword Peak.

“I’ve found out that he has a flawed spirit. When he joined the sect, he broke the third round’s record, causing quite a stir in the sect!”

“Broke the third round’s record? How did I not know about this?”

Someone asked in bewilderment.

“Of course you wouldn’t know. You are not a disciple from that batch. Plus, he broke the worst record. He fainted upon reaching the first step. The sect tried to hush up the incident, and it isn’t easy to find the details!”

“What? He fainted at the first step! How is that different from an idiot!”

Don’t insult idiots, I think even they could reach the second step!”

A group of people made fun of this and kept on ridiculing.

“Senior brother, should I find a spirit attacking Magic Artifact for you? If you start cultivating now, there is still time!”

A disciple from Ask Sword Peak kindly suggested.

“What, you think facing an idiot requires special preparation?”

Gu Jianyi arrogantly glanced at the disciple who spoke.

“Senior brother, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean that. I have been observing his competitions for the past couple of days, and I reckon he…”

The disciple tried to explain, but was interrupted by Gu Jianyi’s impatient dismissal.

Brother Qu, you are always too cautious, fretting about everything. If I didn’t know you meant well, I wouldn’t bother with you!”

Gu Jianyi confidently continued: “You can rest easy. Even if he isn’t an idiot, I am certain that I can defeat him within three moves!”

“I was overthinking!”

Seeing that Gu Jianyi was getting impatient, Brother Qu refrained from saying more, and joined the others in congratulating Gu Jianyi on his sure victory, engaging in empty flattery.

Dong!

Accompanying the ringing of the melodious bell, the third round of the sect’s competition officially began.
