"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, please settle down!" The Elder tried his best to persuade the crowd to calm down, but instead, the people became even more boisterous, their words increasingly harsh, belittling Ling Mo Xie.
Tian Wuxin smirked, a triumphant smile on his face, and said, "Since Ling Mo Xie doesn't dare to compete with me, that means he has lost. You all have no objections, right?" He held his sword in one hand and crossed his arms.
"I object!" A voice rang out. The crowd felt a shadow move overhead as Ling Mo Xie jumped down from the Qingyun Beast onto the Arena, facing Tian Wuxin fearlessly with a disdainful look in his eyes. He declared, "I said I object! Who says I don't dare to compete with you? You're being too arrogant! I heard you're some kind of expert from Tianfeng City and ranked Fourth on the Earth Ranking? With your skills, you call yourself an expert?"
"You!" Tian Wuxin was furious, his face flushed red as if he could breathe fire. But he quickly waved his sleeve and said, "Good! Since you're here, let's start the competition! I'll show you that someone like me is someone you aren't even worthy to serve!"
At this moment, seeing Ling Mo Xie arrive, the crowd didn't calm down; instead, they buzzed with even more excitement.
"Is he Ling Mo Xie? The Seventh Young Master of the Ling family? Truly an arrogant person!"
"Wow! That's Ling Mo Xie? He's really handsome! What a pity; he seems a bit dim-witted! With such arrogance, I bet his life will be short!"
"Exactly! If he had a bit of sense, maybe someone would want to marry him!"
"Pfft! Fat lady! Even if you wanted to marry him, he wouldn't accept! Even if he's a bit arrogant and overestimates himself, he's still the Seventh Young Master of the Ling family. How could he possibly look at you?"
Ling Mo Xie had already reached the late stage of Enlightenment and naturally heard the gossiping remarks from the crowd. His mouth twitched—was he really that arrogant? Why did it feel like the one being arrogant was this guy in front of him? Claiming that he wasn't even worthy to serve him?
Ling Mo Xie never backed down from a fight. Since this guy claimed that he wasn't even worthy to serve him, how could he not retort? So, with one hand on his hip and pointing at Tian Wuxin with the other, he said, "Pfft! Serve you? You're not even worthy to be my spittoon! You're just a stray dog on the street; you're nothing but a bug in a stinky ditch!"
"You!" Although Tian Wuxin came from a third-rate family, he usually mingled with those pretentious Young Masters. At this moment, how could he compete in a war of words with Ling Mo Xie? After struggling for a while without making any headway, he angrily retorted, "Fine! This is a competition, not a verbal sparring match! Let's see who has the real skills when we fight!"
"Good? Of course, I'm doing great! It's just that whether you're good or not is uncertain!" Ling Mo Xie smirked with a wicked grin, a glint of mischief flashing in his eyes as he scrutinized Tian Wuxin. In his heart, he thought: This person is so arrogant; let's see if I can beat you to the point where even your mother wouldn't recognize you!
"Hmph!" Seeing Ling Mo Xie sizing him up, Tian Wuxin let out a cold snort. His hands moved like shadows as he formed a seal and launched it towards Ling Mo Xie. A shimmering golden phantom dragon surged toward Ling Mo Xie!
Ling Mo Xie sneered, dismissing it as nothing more than a trivial matter. So what if he's ranked Fourth on the Earth Ranking? It seems that the Earth Ranking isn't all that impressive! With a simple flick of his wrist, he activated the skill "Glimpse of the Phoenix," drawing out the Balao Blade from his backpack, which he temporarily wielded like a longsword. A blade of light, seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth, charged toward the illusory golden dragon!
"Crash!" A loud sound echoed throughout the central square, startling the citizens who instinctively looked up at the sky. The blade of light collided with Tian Wuxin's spell, causing the phantom dragon to shatter into pieces and dissipate into thin air. However, Ling Mo Xie's blade of light had not yet vanished and continued its assault on Tian Wuxin!
"What?" Countless voices of surprise erupted simultaneously. In just the blink of an eye, the highly regarded Eldest Young Master of the Tian Family found himself at a disadvantage! Could it be that Ling Mo Xie's long knife had some hidden power?
They couldn't believe this was solely Ling Mo Xie's strength and could only attribute it to external factors.
Nan Jianjun held his sword with an unchanged expression as he observed the scene in the arena. A hint of disdain flashed in his gaze toward Tian Wuxin. How dare he challenge Brother Mo Xie with such skills? I really wonder if his brain has been eaten by pigs!
Tian Wuxin was also at the late stage of Enlightenment; becoming one of those so-called Earth Ranking experts was no simple feat. Although he had previously underestimated Ling Mo Xie, he was surprised by Ling Mo Xie's strength but wasn't yet afraid. It didn't take long for him to regain his composure.
With a flicker of his lips, a Barrier enveloped him like an eggshell. Soon after, Ling Mo Xie's blade of light struck the Barrier, causing it to shake but not shatter. The blade and Barrier held each other for a moment before both dissipated into the air.
Tian Wuxin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he had almost been taken out by Ling Mo Xie due to carelessness! It seems that Ling Mo Xie is indeed not the waste that rumors claim! But so what? He was already at the late stage of Enlightenment and had originally planned to challenge those at the Top of the Earth Ranking. He hadn't expected to hear about his brother's death and come here to compete with Ling Mo Xie instead.
At this moment, Tian Wuxin remained quite confident; although Ling Mo Xie had some strength, he was definitely not his opponent!
Ling Mo Xie paid no mind to Tian Wuxin's thoughts. Seeing that he had blocked one of his skills, he casually unleashed several Fireballs in quick succession. As someone at the late stage of Enlightenment, Tian Wuxin found that Fireballs only served as a minor distraction. He cast a deep glance at Ling Mo Xie and then activated a defensive spell he had used earlier to block Ling Mo Xie's Fireballs. With a hand gesture and incantation, dark clouds began to gather in the once-clear sky, rumbling sounds echoing ominously.
No wonder Tian Wuxin is so confident; it turns out his most powerful spell is Thunder Magic! Among all spells, Thunder Magic has one of the highest attack powers! Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation faced by cultivators is that thunder calamity, which exerts a suppressive effect on cultivators, demon beasts, and spirit beasts alike!
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning flashed, and a thunderbolt as thick as a finger struck directly towards Ling Mo Xie!
"Look! Tian Dasha truly deserves to be Fourth on the Earth Ranking! He can even master the most difficult Thunder Magic! Now, even if Ling Mo Xie has a high-level spiritual weapon, it won't help him!"
"Exactly! With this Thunder Magic, Tian Wuxin could challenge for a spot at the Top of the Earth Ranking!"
"Hey! You might not know this, but I heard that Tian Wuxin recently broke through to the late stage of Enlightenment and learned Thunder Magic. He was planning to challenge for the Top of the Earth Ranking! Unfortunately, he got delayed by this match with Ling Mo Xie!" The townsfolk shook their heads in regret and added, "Ling Mo Xie might be in serious trouble now!"
