Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"This is the curse of the Grudge-Entangled Sect. Even a Golden Core cultivator's attack is incredibly powerful."

"Alright, this brat is going to get punished now."

"Lin Lun is also extremely cautious. He even used a sect's secret technique to deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

The crowd below the stage was buzzing with discussion.

They were mostly smiling.

Everyone is very happy.

This bastard is finally going to be punished.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened!

The arena, shrouded in black mist, was originally silent, but suddenly a loud booming sound rang out.

A figure pierced through the black mist, flew backward, and crashed heavily to the ground.

It looks like it's in a lot of pain.

When it crashed to the ground, the disciples standing nearby could clearly feel their feet tremble.

They managed to carve a deep crater out of this solid arena.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Ok?

Why did it end so quickly?

Indeed, the gap between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is still too huge?

Lin Lun of the Resentment Clan is really too ruthless.

To treat someone who is a level below oneself with such cruelty.

It seems that Ji Nanbei has been seriously injured this time, and his recuperation and rehabilitation will definitely take a long time. It's just unknown whether he will suffer any lasting effects.

Everyone looked at the deep pit with sympathy.

Although Nanbei is a real bastard this season, he is just like all of us, coming from humble beginnings and getting to where he is today through his own abilities.

Moreover, everyone here is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Seeing such a tragic battle, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

However, before the people around them could feel sad for long, they heard Ji Nanbei's voice from behind.

"I couldn't see clearly in the fog, but I think I hit something with the shovel just now..."

Ok?

Why is the sound coming from behind me?

Everyone turned around and saw Ji Nanbei reach out from the black mist and use his spiritual power to push aside the layers of black mist.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Nanbei swept away all the black mist that had enveloped the arena.

The person in question stood unharmed on the ring, holding a shovel and looking around.

It seems he's trying to figure out what he hit with the shovel.

Seeing Ji Nanbei's expression, everyone stood there dumbfounded.

When everyone saw Ji Nanbei still standing unharmed on the stage, their minds were filled with questions.

what?

Since he's still standing in the ring, then

The figure that just flew out was...

The crowd quickly gathered around the crater that had been smashed into the ground.

The person lying inside was none other than Lin Lun, the true disciple of the Resentment Sect!

Lin Lun had already fallen unconscious, with a noticeable dent in his chest. Although not fatal, it was still a serious injury.

The horrific scene sent chills down everyone's spine.

This is the true teaching of three sects! This is a Golden Core stage cultivator!

Everyone turned to look at Ji Nanbei on the stage, who had an innocent look on his face, and they all gasped in shock.

What kind of monster is this person?!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting a Golden Core cultivator—it hadn't even taken the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and he was already severely injured and unconscious!

Who among you is actually at the Foundation Establishment stage and who is at the Golden Core stage?

At this moment, when everyone looked at Ji Nanbei's innocent appearance on the stage, they felt a chill run down their spines!

That's terrifying! That's terrifying!

Meanwhile, on the other side, atop the high platform.

Even the most worldly-wise sect leader fell silent at this moment.

They had seen Foundation Establishment cultivators fight against Golden Core cultivators before.

But they had never seen anyone do it so easily and efficiently before.

Others might not be able to see through the black mist, so how could those above the Nascent Soul stage not be able to?

They had actually seen everything that happened in the black mist around the arena without missing a single detail.

After releasing his secret technique, the true disciple of the Resentment Sect drew a dagger and silently circled around behind Ji Nanbei.

then…

Then, the moment he made his move, he was swung away by a shovel.

Ji Nanbei's shovel strike really employed technique.

Two shovelfuls, boom!

Although its rank is not high, it is honest and powerful.

Thus, Lin Lun was struck by a shovel while in mid-air.

Ji Nanbei unleashed his full power, even employing techniques; it goes without saying how terrifying he was.

This attack was nearly as powerful as a strike from the peak of the Golden Core stage!

This shovel represents twenty years of hard work. Can you withstand it?

Clearly, Lin Lun couldn't hold on.

He was sent flying off the stage, severely injured and unconscious.

The three sect leaders and one patriarch remained silent for a long time.

"This child... his physique is probably unusual. His physical strength is terrifying. Just in terms of physical strength alone, he is comparable to a Golden Core cultivator."

The leader of the Blood Transformation Sect analyzed the key points.

The other three also noticed it.

This must be due to a special physique and extraordinary talent!

The sect leader of the Resentment Sect knew exactly what his true disciple was capable of.

It is definitely not some fake Golden Elixir.

Among those of the same level, their combat strength is definitely top-notch.

However, he was easily defeated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He, as the sect leader, was somewhat embarrassed.

But there is something more important than saving face.

A bet!

Could this kid really make it to the end?

If he really loses that bet, he and the leader of the Blood Transformation Sect will suffer huge losses!

However, at this moment, it's too late to back out.

After defeating a Golden Core cultivator, Ji Nanbei stopped challenging any more cultivators.

However, as time went by, while the other arenas were bustling with activity, Ji Nanbei's place remained quiet, and many people began to have different ideas.

Even Hong Yuanwu in the next arena finally couldn't hold on any longer and left the stage.

Although Hong Yuanwu is indeed quite strong, he has been standing in the arena since the beginning.

The spiritual energy within the body has also been severely depleted.

He needs to leave the arena to replenish his spiritual energy.

Otherwise, once his spiritual energy is exhausted and time runs out, he will truly miss out on a top ten ranking.

Seeing Ji Nanbei still on the stage, Hong Yuanwu was furious.

He never expected that he would actually lose!

In this relatively fair contest, it was he who proposed the contest.

He, a true disciple of the Blood Transformation Sect, Hong Yuanwu, actually lost!

Seeing that Hong Yuanwu had left the arena, Ji Nanbei offered words of comfort at the opportune moment.

"Please, you're so weak!!"

Red Yuanwu: Damn! (A type of plant)

However, at this moment, he really couldn't refute anything.

After all, he lost the bet.

Hong Yuanwu could only pretend he hadn't heard Ji Nanbei's provocation and walked aside to focus on recovering his spiritual energy.

Seeing that the Golden Core cultivators beside them were already running out of spiritual energy, the crowd below turned their attention to Ji Nanbei.

However, Ji Nanbei still maintained his kind and gentle demeanor.

"Brothers, I think he's just putting on a brave face. Before, when he had plenty of spiritual energy, he pretended to be short of it, but now he acts all nonchalant!"

"That's right, the Golden Core cultivators of the Blood Transformation Sect over there were all knocked down, so why is his spiritual energy still so abundant!?"

"Yes, he must be putting on a brave face, maintaining that facade, while his spiritual energy is already depleted, and he's just misleading everyone!"
