Wang Yi was taken aback, wondering why. He wanted to ask, but saw Chu Yixuan gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back, so he held back. He noticed that Niu Meng and another person were engaged in a fierce battle on the stage and understood the outcome of the contest, so he walked out of the arena and unknowingly arrived at the forest on the back mountain.
Suddenly, he heard a series of sword rain whistling sounds. Wang Yi's heart stirred as he looked around. The ancient trees in the forest were mixed together, so he stomped his foot and soared like a great roc, landing on the top of a taller ancient tree. He pushed aside a dense cluster of branches and looked around.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
In an open area below, a young man dressed in white appeared, wielding a long sword.
The young man, White Brow, had a cold expression, with a tall and well-proportioned figure. The long sword in his hand made a swishing sound as it swung, its cold edge intimidating. The falling leaves that touched the sword's edge were all shattered.
"Is it him? Jin Qinghan." Wang Yi recognized this person; he was Fourth Senior Brother Jin Qinghan, the only one in the Outer Sect who could compete with Li Gang, Chu Yixuan, and Zhao Shanyu.
"Who? Come out." Jin Qinghan pointed his sword tip towards Wang Yi's location and coldly shouted.
"What?" Wang Yi was startled; he didn't expect Jin Qinghan to discover him so quickly. He had suppressed all his Vital Energy, making it impossible for even martial artists two levels higher than him to detect his presence. Could it be that Jin Qinghan's strength had reached such a terrifying level?
Just as Wang Yi was deciding whether to reveal himself, he suddenly felt a cold edge piercing towards him. He pushed off with his feet and flew backward to the ground.
In the next moment, Jin Qinghan stood before him, pointing his sword directly at him and asked, "Who are you?" Seeing Wang Yi clearly dressed in Kaiyang Sect disciple clothing, he sheathed his sword with a clang, yet his cold demeanor remained unchanged like ancient ice.
Wang Yi felt a chill rush towards him as if a wave of cold air was attacking him. Seeing Jin Qinghan retract his long sword, he calmly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Wang Yi greets Jin Shixiong."
"You are Wang Yi?" Jin Qinghan expressed some surprise upon hearing Wang Yi introduce himself because if anyone had been in the spotlight recently, it was undoubtedly Wang Yi. After all, he had nearly caused a conflict between Chu Yixuan and Li Gang.
"Indeed," Wang Yi replied.
"You can leave." What caught Wang Yi off guard was that Jin Qinghan simply said this before turning away with his sword.
"Just as rumored." Wang Yi murmured as he watched Jin Qinghan's solitary figure depart. It was said that Fourth Senior Brother Jin Qinghan always presented a cold demeanor and had never been seen smiling. He was solitary even among Li Gang, Chu Yixuan, and Zhao Shanyu; truly an odd person.
Wang Yi had initially planned to cultivate in the forest for a while but lost interest due to Jin Qinghan's appearance and returned to the square.
The match between Niu Meng and Lin Chao turned out just as he had guessed, with Niu Meng advancing to the top ten. At this moment, he was excitedly patting Lin Chao on the shoulder, saying, "Haha, Bastard, Lin, I guess I'm a bit better after all."
Lin Chao could only respond with a bitter smile, saying, "Don't get too proud; the next round will be filled with experts. Don't underestimate them."
"Haha, Bastard, don't worry. I'm already very happy to make it to the top ten. As for the top three, I'll leave that for Brother Chu to fight for," Niu Meng laughed.
"Alright, since there are no more matches today, let's head back early and rest up for tomorrow," Chu Yixuan said. Hearing Niu Meng's words made him feel pleased; it seemed his efforts had not been in vain.
"Big brother, where were you just now?" Niu Meng excitedly asked.
"I was right here; you were just too excited to notice me," Wang Yi shrugged and replied.
"Oh, really?" Niu Meng's face turned red as he said, "I guess I was just too happy."
As the last ray of white light was swallowed by the night, darkness fell. In the cycle of time, a beam of white light broke through the night and landed on the ground, dispelling the darkness and heralding the arrival of a new day.
The Outer Sect Competition had produced its top ten. Although the matches were nearing their end, the enthusiasm among the disciples was rising higher and higher because these ten represented the pinnacle of Outer Sect power. Each one had the potential to become an Inner Sect Disciple, and their battles were often the most intense—something the disciples eagerly anticipated.
The first and second matches featured Li Gang and Chu Yixuan, both of whom advanced without exception. Following that, another person advanced, meaning that the final two would emerge from Niu Meng, Wang Yi, Jin Qinghan, and Zhao Shanyu.
"Damn it, Li Gang! How dare you betray me?" Zhao Shanyu quickly realized what was going on and thought darkly to himself.
"So that's how it is." Wang Yi finally understood why Chu Yixuan had acted that way towards him yesterday. No matter who he faced, it would be a tough battle; facing Niu Meng was something he particularly wanted to avoid.
With that thought in mind, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel puzzled about why Chu Yixuan seemed to know everything in advance.
"Wang Yi, what's wrong with you?" Niu Meng noticed Wang Yi's furrowed brow and asked while scratching his head.
"Nothing," Wang Yi shook his head. He didn't want Niu Meng to know about the underlying issues.
"Hehe, let's see how I can play with you all this time," Li Gang thought coldly.
Niu Meng, Zhao Shanyu.
"Finally, it's my turn." Niu Meng exclaimed joyfully, clenching his fist, but suddenly froze and said in disbelief, "Who? Zhao Shanyu?" He looked at Wang Yi with a shocked expression and said, "Bastard, Wang Yi, I didn't hear wrong, did I? Is that Bastard going to fight me?" His face was filled with incredulity.
"Calm down a bit." Wang Yi nodded. At this point, there was nothing more he could say.
On the side, Wang Zhou was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhao, we did it."
"Shut up." To Wang Zhou's astonishment, there was no trace of joy on Zhao Shanyu's face; instead, his expression was dark and foreboding, sending chills down people's spines. He was extremely furious. Although he had achieved what he sought with Li Gang, he had also been used as a pawn in the process. How could someone so proud accept that?
But now that things had come to this, he could only swallow his anger. With a flick of his sleeve, he walked onto the stage with an impassive expression.
"Zhao Shidi, I hope we have a chance to fight," Li Gang said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Zhao Shanyu replied coldly.
"Bastard, Third Senior Brother, who would have thought we would have a chance to fight?" Niu Meng laughed heartily.
"Do you dare insult me?" Zhao Shanyu said angrily, extending his index finger threateningly.
"Bastard, I'm insulting you!" Niu Meng waved his hand proudly.
"Hahahaha..."
The disciples below were surprised that Niu Meng dared to be so disrespectful to Zhao Shanyu, and they all laughed heartily.
"Shut up!"
With a glare that radiated coldness, Zhao Shanyu made everyone lower their heads. Only then did he relent and coldly look at Niu Meng, saying, "Today I will let you know that some people are not to be trifled with." He leaped into the air and kicked out, unleashing a torrent of Vital Energy towards Niu Meng.
With a loud shout, Niu Meng unleashed six shadowy fists that tore through the air.
“.”
A sound like muffled thunder erupted as six shadowy fists were obliterated beneath Zhao Shanyu's kick, piercing through the fist shadows and striking Niu Meng in the chest.
Niu Meng's heart sank, and all his strength converged in his palms, unleashing a wave of Vital Energy to counter the attack. His palms were thick and powerful; with a heavy slap, a humming sound resonated through the air.
On the sidelines, Zhao Shanyu's fierce move shocked Wang Yi, clearly indicating it was a family Martial Art. He couldn't help but feel anxious for Niu Meng, while the other disciples looked on in awe at such overwhelming power.
A light sound echoed, akin to thunder on a clear day, as Niu Meng was forced to retreat six steps before finally stopping under Zhao Shanyu's kick, clearly demonstrating who was stronger.
“Hmph, being able to withstand my sweeping kick shows you have some skill,” Zhao Shanyu said coldly. “However, your good luck ends here.”
“Bastard,” Niu Meng replied, his face flushed red as he exhaled a heavy breath. That last kick had been immensely powerful, nearly knocking the wind out of him. Spitting out a mouthful of air, he brandished his iron fist and said, “Come on.”
“Hmph, you overestimate yourself.” Zhao Shanyu spun his leg rapidly and launched himself at Niu Meng with a right leg strike that swept like a giant pillar.
“This Zhao Shanyu isn't even using techniques from the Sect; it's going to be difficult for Niu Meng to win,” Wang Yi thought, already knowing that Niu Meng's defeat was inevitable. He could only hope for Niu Meng's safety.
Chu Yixuan seemed to notice Wang Yi's concern and smiled, saying, “Don't worry; Zhao Shanyu won't dare to use full force with an elder present.”
Niu Meng wore a determined expression as he turned his palm over and summoned the Chiyang Blade. With one slash, Blade Qi surged forth with astonishing momentum.
A heavy cold snort followed as Zhao Shanyu's indistinct figure appeared and crashed into Niu Meng like a heavy thunderclap. A loud clang echoed as Zhao Shanyu let out a cold shout, releasing a torrent of Vital Energy that surged towards Niu Meng.
“Boom.”
The violent shockwave made everyone in front of the stage feel as if their eardrums would burst. A grunt followed as a shadow arced heavily through the air, blood splattering out and staining the bright white atmosphere.
“Niu Meng!” Wang Yi exclaimed in shock as he saw Niu Meng being sent flying. Now lying on the stage, Niu Meng's face was pale as paper, devoid of any color, with traces of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth.
“Hmph, waste is always waste,” Zhao Shanyu declared proudly with his hands behind his back.
"Good, very good." Wang Zhou exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Niu Meng defeated so thoroughly, feeling a sense of relief as the frustration towards Niu Meng diminished significantly.
"Brother Zhao is amazing."
"Yeah, he defeated Niu Meng in just two moves. It seems he will definitely be among the top three this time."
With a whoosh, Chu Yixuan leaped onto the stage. After casting a calm glance at the proud Zhao Shanyu, he lifted the much larger Niu Meng off the stage and handed him a green pill to take.
"Don't worry, he's not seriously injured. A few days of rest will do him good," Chu Yixuan reassured Wang Yi, who looked concerned.
"That's good to hear." Wang Yi let out a heavy sigh. Niu Meng was the only person he could trust in this world, and if anything happened to him, he vowed to wipe out Zhao Shanyu's entire family!
On the Training Platform.
"Zhao Shanyu is getting more and more impressive. The Zhao Family Martial Arts truly lives up to its reputation," Xiao Renyi remarked with a smile.
"Yes, it seems that Li Gang's disciple won't find it easy to secure first place," Zhou Deyu said, glancing at Li Jianren as he spoke thoughtfully.
