Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"Greetings, young master."

They called each other quite affectionately.

After all, it was a marriage that she herself had arranged.

Ji Nanbei returned the gift in kind.

Hello, hello.

The two were exchanging pleasantries, which made Hong Yuanwu click his tongue in disbelief.

"Damn! Are you two having a competition or dating?! Why don't you just kiss right here and now?!"

The female disciple of the Hehuan Sect blushed upon hearing this.

"That wouldn't be appropriate, but if young master is willing... it's not impossible!"

Everyone who looked at the arena was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, this pretty boy is terrifying!?

Ji Nanbei showed no other reaction, simply saying:

"Fellow Daoist, since we're at the duel, let's reminisce another day and put this matter aside for now."

The female disciple of the Hehuan Sect nodded, but at the same time, she had doubts in her heart.

This time, he directly transmitted his voice to Ji Nanbei Dao:

"Young master, spiritual power is crucial in arena battles, perhaps..."

Clearly, she wanted Ji Nanbei to have it.

……

However, he has high emotional intelligence and doesn't say it out loud.

After all, she had seen many men with strong egos who viewed such kindness as an insult.

It's just a matter of spiritual energy consumption.

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist, just do your job normally, there's no need to worry about it."

Since Ji Nanbei had said so, the female disciples of the Hehuan Sect no longer hesitated.

He reached for his waist, and a soft sword appeared in his hand.

Although a soft sword is a sword, its use is quite different from conventional swordsmanship.

It emphasizes subtlety and ruthlessness, with tricky angles of attack that make it difficult to defend against.

"Young master, be careful!"

The female disciple stepped forward, presenting a soft sword with exceptionally gentle spiritual energy fluctuations.

Ji Nanbei didn't care at all. He took out the shovel his senior sister had given him from his storage ring and swung it around casually.

shovel?

When the female disciple saw the weapon in Ji Nanbei's hand, she was stunned. Even Hong Yuanwu and many other spectators below the stage were also taken aback.

Someone actually uses this thing as a weapon?

Although the female disciple was surprised, she still thrust out her sword as usual.

Ji Nanbei slammed down with his shovel, colliding with the soft sword.

However, Ji Nanbei didn't have much of a feel for hitting things.

After being hit, the soft sword twisted, its blade turning almost at a right angle, bypassing the shovel, and stabbing straight at Ji Nanbei's wrist!

This is what makes the soft sword so tricky.

A normal block will deform it, changing the angle of attack.

However, Ji Nanbei didn't care at all, as if he couldn't see the sword tip stabbing towards him.

The next moment, the female disciple of the Hehuan Sect was sent flying backward.

The soft sword that was about to pierce Ji Nanbei also failed to achieve its goal.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

then…

"You're pulling strings! Trying to cover it up, huh?!"

Hong Yuanwu immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

Many viewers in the audience shared this reaction.

How could they be forced back like this? A sword strike that was about to land, and they just retreated like this?

It's definitely waterproof.

The two started chatting as soon as they met; who knows what kind of affair they might be having?

However, only the female disciples of the Hehuan Sect knew that it was indeed waterproof.

But it wasn't her; it was Ji Nanbei who let the water go.

Those on the sidelines lacked sufficient cultivation to see through the situation.

Only those who have fought each other can understand what exactly happened.

The water was indeed released.

However, it was Ji Nanbei who let the water go, not the female disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

In the instant of their exchange, she felt as if the person before her had transformed into a terrifying beast.

The power transmitted from the soft sword in her hand was something she simply couldn't match!

Even though she had used the properties of the soft sword to deflect a great deal of force, she still couldn't catch it!

That's why he was forced to retreat, and he had to give up the sword that was about to succeed.

If she doesn't give up, then this blow will probably shatter both of her arms!

Who would have thought that the handsome, refined-looking man in front of me would be so refined?

In reality, it is an existence like a prehistoric beast!

Hmm... I think I love it even more now!

cough cough.

The Hehuan Sect female disciple, who had been easily forced back, had realized that she was no match for the young master in front of her.

So they simply handed it over.

"Young Master's strength is unfathomable; I concede defeat."

Ji Nanbei smiled and nodded.

There's really no trick to it.

It's simply a matter of overwhelming force with sheer power.

Ji Nanbei's physical strength was terrifying. He directly amplified it with spiritual power and launched a full-force attack. No matter how many techniques the opponent had, they couldn't withstand it if they didn't have enough strength.

If you can run over it, why bother with tricks?

However, this scene only fueled the discontent of others.

Does this guy think everyone else is stupid?!

So you're really not going to put on an act at all, just releasing it directly, right?

On the side stage, Hong Yuanwu was cursing loudly.

Ji Nanbei glanced to the side and picked at his ear.

"Noisy."

Hong Yuanwu: ?

You little brat, say that again!

The audience below the stage looked at Ji Nanbei with disdain.

Hong Yuanwu even shouted directly:

"This guy's got connections with the Hehuan Sect! That Hehuan Sect guy was deliberately holding back! How could a Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivator possibly defeat a Foundation Establishment Level 9 cultivator?!"

Ji Nanbei: Ah, right, right, right!

That's absolutely right.

This is exactly the effect that Ji Nanbei wanted.

Seeing the eager expressions and disdainful looks from the crowd below the stage, Ji Nanbei was overjoyed.

The second level of the challenge mission, which is the most difficult to complete, involves winning fifty battles.

After all, if a team is too strong and can sweep through the competition, few people will dare to challenge them.

Now, everyone feels that this guy is using tricks and isn't very strong.

Ji Nanbei can fight several more rounds, increasing the number of battles.

Suddenly, Ji Nanbei felt that Hong Yuanwu wasn't so annoying after all.

She's quite sensible!

The only female disciple of the Hehuan Sect who knew the truth...

She's currently watching the show and enjoying the gossip from underground.

After learning that her senior sister's lover... no, I mean her lover, was extremely powerful.

She was already looking forward to someone going up and getting proven wrong.

As for saying it out loud.

Oh no, how could you do that!

Is the melon bad? Or is the show bad?

Why do you have to get involved in this dramatic spectacle?

Unaware of Ji Nanbei's thoughts or strength, the underground disciples were already itching for a fight.

"Don't move, let me do it!"

A rogue cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment jumped ahead of everyone else and leaped directly onto the arena.

His level of cultivation, and his background as a rogue cultivator.

This meant that in this battle of demonic arts, their strength would hover in the middle to lower ranks.

To collect ten battle victories and win the reward, it's extremely difficult.

Now that we've finally caught a weakling, of course we have to be the first to act!

However, with ulterior motives in mind, he smiled as he stepped onto the stage, failing to see the hint of ill intent in Ji Nanbei's smile.
