One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

With a roar, Hu Jie charged at Su Mu before the referee could announce the start of the match.

Judging solely from the techniques used, Hu Jie's attacks could be described as utterly chaotic.

However, the Qi within him was extremely thick and powerful, which made his speed and strength astonishing!

The moment he lunged at Su Mu, the ground beneath his feet was crushed to pieces with a crack!

He transformed into a black phantom, appeared in front of Su Mu, and unleashed a powerful punch!

But what Su Mu fears least is this kind of straightforward attack.

As someone who possesses the ability to control the wind element, he is extremely sensitive to the wind.

He can use the slightest breeze to either gain momentum or deflect it.

Hu Jie's heavy punch generated a fierce gust of wind, which looked powerful, but it actually helped Su Mu dodge.

Hu Jie unleashed a barrage of powerful punches, one after another.

But as long as Su Mu slightly turned to the side to dodge, the heavy punches would graz his body and land in empty air!

The stands were now packed with spectators.

Although many people talk about behind-the-scenes manipulation, Su Mu was, after all, the one who eliminated Zhuge Qing, the favorite to win the championship.

In addition, Su Mu himself is very handsome, so there are quite a few people paying attention to this battle.

"This Su Mu is really no good; he's getting completely dominated."

"How could Ah Qing be eliminated with just this much skill? It's a rigged match!"

"Hey, Hu Jie, give it your all and take down Su Mu!"

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask, "Was Hu Jie really a spoiled brat before?"

"Isn't this amount of Qi a bit too exaggerated?"

"really."

Xu San pushed up his glasses, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

"According to the company's previous information, Hu Jie was just a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid who did nothing but loaf around."

"His strength is not even as good as Tianjin Wei Xiao Taoyuan, who was eliminated by Bao Bao."

"But now..."

"There's something wrong with this guy."

Xu Si took a drag of his cigarette.

"I'll have someone investigate Dongxiangzhuang."

On the other side, Zhuge Qing and Zhang Lingyu stood together.

"Tsk tsk, this Hu Jie is really amazing, he actually managed to suppress Su Mu."

"That makes me look like a useless loser."

"Don't give me that." Zhang Lingyu said calmly, "Don't tell me you can't see that Su Mu is just playing with Hu Jie."

"Hehe, of course I can tell."

"I'm just afraid that others won't understand."

Zhang Lingyu didn't reply, but simply turned her head to look to her right.

Over there stood a middle-aged man with a full head of silver hair and wearing square-framed glasses, and a fat man with a small mustache.

Zhuge Qing followed Zhang Lingyu's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Zhang Lingyu turned around and shook her head.

Why do I keep feeling like those two people over there are familiar...?

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu was no longer looking in his direction, the middle-aged man wearing glasses reached up and adjusted his glasses, speaking softly.

"Oh dear, this guy's senses are really sharp; he almost gave himself away."

"Hehe, maybe so."

The fat man smiled slightly.

"But I didn't expect that Hu Jie could reach this level with your abilities."

"Hehe, I'll take that as a compliment."

The middle-aged man looked around the arena and said, "However, this piece of trash's time ends here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that this unreliable Su Mu would actually be so strong."

"Won't this guy get in the way of our plans?"

"No way, he might have been drunk and fast asleep the night we made our move."

"That's true, hehe."

On the field, Hu Jie finally got tired after failing to break through Hu Jie's defenses for a long time.

He stopped, panting heavily, and cursed, "You bastard, all you can do is hide?"

"Oh?" Su Mu stopped in his tracks. "Alright, then I won't hide anymore."

"Hehe, you said it yourself!"

Hu Jie, his face beaming with excitement, pounced on Su Mu once more.

Su Mu simply raised his folding bow.

call out--

A sharp arrow pierced through Hu Jie's chest and back in an instant!

Hu Jie spat out a mouthful of blood and, due to inertia, fell to the ground, sliding a short distance before becoming still.

"Let's end this farce here."

Su Mu put away his folding bow, turned around and left calmly.

[Ding! Host detected acting to rid the people of evil; role-playing progress +1]

Current progress: 35/100

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.

Do you approve of my actions...? Hajiton, you bastard...

Rong Shan, the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain who was acting as the referee, reacted immediately and jumped into the arena to Hu Jie's side.

Rong Shan glanced at Hu Jie's wound and couldn't help but gasp.

Hu Jie was still alive; he wasn't dead.

But his current state can be described as worse than death!

The wound on his chest was a penetrating wound that ran through the Tanzhong acupoint and the Shendao acupoint.

If these two acupoints sound unfamiliar, then the Ren and Du meridians should be more familiar.

The Tanzhong and Shendao acupoints are important acupoints on the Ren and Du meridians!

Su Mu's attack pierced through those two acupoints, severing Hu Jie's Ren and Du meridians!

Unlike martial arts novels, the Ren and Du meridians are important channels for extraordinary people to circulate Qi.

Once the Ren and Du meridians are severed, one can say that they can never become an extraordinary person again!

This is different from the previous removal of Jia Zhengyu.

Although Jia Zhengyu's dantian was destroyed, he could no longer store qi, but he could still circulate qi.

Hu Jie, on the other hand, was completely unable to circulate Qi.

The main reason Su Mu dealt such a heavy blow to Hu Jie was because Hu Jie had been completely controlled by Quanxing.

Even if he is pitiful, keeping him around will only allow him to hurt more people.

Just like those demons outside Mondstadt back then.

If Teyvat didn't have a specialist in slaying demons, Venti probably wouldn't have just blown them all away; he would have either shot them dead or trapped them outside of time forever.

But how far can Su Mu take Hu Jie to inflated egos here?

Rong Shan was unaware of these things; he only knew that Su Mu had acted ruthlessly.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and announced loudly, "Hu Jie is seriously injured and incapacitated. Su Mu wins!"

"Quickly, someone come and save him! Hu Jie's Ren and Du meridians have been severed; he's about to die!"

Upon hearing his words, the entire room erupted in uproar.

"What? Hu Jie was defeated so easily? Wasn't he just dominating Su Mu?"

"That's not the point, okay?"

"Su Mu was too ruthless. Hu Jie had no grudge against him, yet he almost killed him..."

"Um, I'll leave the task of clearing Aqing's name to you guys. I'm off now~"

"Hey! You're just going to run away like that? Then I'll run too!"

On the sidelines, Zhuge Qing looked at Zhang Lingyu.

"Oh dear, should I thank Su Mu for not blowing my head off with an arrow?"

Zhang Lingyu was silent for a moment before speaking: "Although I've only fought him once, I can tell that he's not a cruel or bloodthirsty person."

"Dongxiangzhuang and Longhushan have always been on good terms. I also remember Hu Jie; he does seem a bit odd..."

"I see."

Zhuge Qing nodded and looked again at Su Mu's departing figure.

Interesting. I'd like to see when you'll use that trick again.

On the other side of the platform, Wang Ai and Lü Ci exchanged a glance.

"Old Lu, what do you think of this kid?"

"He's just a kid, not worth mentioning."

"As for Zhang Chulan, why don't we send someone to make contact with him?"

"Don't we need to consider the Old Master or the All-Knowing Strategist?"

Lu Ci snorted coldly and said, "This kid isn't even a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion yet, what right does the Old Celestial Master have to interfere!"

"As for Na Du Tong... Longhu Mountain is so big, isn't it normal for one or two people to go missing?"
