“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.

This time, instead of ten matches at once, there were only five. The size of the stages increased twofold, giving contestants a larger area to showcase their abilities.

Among the first group of contestants was Lu Baiyu, one of the two touted geniuses from Tianhe Sect, and a hot favorite for the competition.

This contender was from the same batch as Xu Mu, and he’d ranked first in all three rounds of assessment.

Xu Mu had not paid him much attention back then. Otherwise, he might have been able to establish some connection with him.

“Victory to Senior Brother Lu!”

“I’m in love with you, Senior Brother Baiyu!”

“Senior Brother Baiyu is so handsome!”

Compared to Xu Mu, who was virtually ignored, Lu Baiyu was highly popular. Unlike Xu Mu, who liked to keep to himself, Lu Baiyu often sparred with disciples from other peaks. He had several stories of defeating stronger opponents, standing up for justice, and involvement with female disciples, all of which were popular gossip topics. He was nothing short of a legend.

So as soon as he entered the stage, the audience erupted into cheers.

Not only was Lu Baiyu exceptionally gifted, but he was also very handsome. Dressed in a white robe with a charismatic smile, he waved to the female disciples below, triggering another round of cheers.

“What an actor!”

Some male disciples who were jealous of him couldn’t help grumbling.

The match involving Lu Baiyu went smoothly. He casually formed a few invisible Sword Qi with his fingers and easily defeated his opponent.

“To be able to form invisible Sword Qi, he must have cultivated the Tongtian Sword Jue to the Grandmaster Realm!”

Shang YaoYao couldn’t hide a trace of shock in her eyes.

For Lu Baiyu and Xu Mu, who had only joined the Tianhe Sect for a decade, to raise their cultivation base to the Qi Cultivation Late Stage was already considered genius if they focused solely on cultivating. Yet, Lu Baiyu had not only reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, but had nearly mastered his martial method.

As far as Shang YaoYao knew, this was just one of Lu Baiyu’s cards up his sleeve.

The thought was indeed incredible.

The gap between geniuses and ordinary people was unimaginably vast.

Not only was Shang YaoYao shocked, but Xu Mu also had to admire him.

Without the system, Xu Mu wouldn’t even be worthy to lace Lu Baiyu’s shoes.

He still remembered that in his sixties, he was still stuck in the early stage of Qi Cultivation, with nothing to show for it.

However, considering that the entire Tianhe Sect region could only produce a genius like him once every few hundred years, it could perhaps be understandable.

Not long after Lu Baiyu’s match ended, it was time for another genius, Qu Qingdream, to take the stage.

Compared to the cheers for Lu Baiyu, Qu Qingdream’s arrival on stage caused an even bigger commotion. Many male disciples were shouting slogans to cheer her on, acting like crazed fans.

Qu Qingdream smiled sweetly, waved to everyone, and even blew a kiss, igniting the crowd into an even louder cheer.

“Femme fatale!”

Shang YaoYao and Luo Qingchen muttered in sync.

Xu Mu:

Qu Qingdream was stunningly beautiful, to say nothing of her body, she was tall and slender with long legs, and merely standing there she was a dazzling sight. Not to mention, she had mastered the art of revealing just the right amount. No wonder even Luo Qingchen labeled her a femme fatale.

Behind closed doors, many male disciples also recognized her as the most beautiful woman of their generation.

Though it might sound vulgar, Qu Qingdream’s cultivation was nothing to scoff

Able to stand side by side with Lu Baiyu, she was certainly skilled.

However, in terms of talent, Qu Qingdream fell slightly short compared to Lu Baiyu. But she came from a reputed background. Her grandfather was a Golden Pill Elder of the sect, and it was because of her family’s backing that she was able to catch up with, and even outrun Lu Baiyu.

Qu Qingdream was a rare musical cultivator, her Magic Artifact was a Yaoqin. Once she finished playing a piece on it, her opponent voluntarily conceded.

After another round, it was finally Luo Qingchen’s turn.

“Senior sister, don’t overstretch yourself!”

“I know!”
