2000 Official Competition 9
Hong Fang’s frown deepened as he mustered all his remaining spiritual energy.
In a critical moment, Hong Fang could no longer withstand the pressure and reluctantly retreated. Seizing the opportunity, Bai Ruiguang unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, overwhelming Hong Fang, who staggered backward.
Bai Ruiguang’s released energy struck the competition stage, leaving behind a dark imprint. Although he had momentarily harbored killing intent, he swiftly retracted his spiritual energy. This was, after all, a controlled arena, rendering any further display futile. Bai Ruiguang was aware of the limitations.
Despite his victory, he had no desire to boast or impress Gu Chaoyan.
His face turned pale, realizing that he had been pushed to his limits by Hong Fang’s unexpected tenacity.
Winning had proved arduous.
With another round of competition looming, he found his confidence wavering.
Hong Fang descended with a apologetic expression, preparing to apologize to Gu Chaoyan.
Before he could utter a word, Gu Chaoyan gently shook her head, signaling him not to say anything more. She then handed him a pill— a basic medicinal remedy to protect his heart meridians.
As their match concluded, the focus shifted to the next group, where Fu Huarong faced a challenging opponent. Although she encountered difficulties, she managed to secure a narrow victory.
The members of the Fu family displayed sheer excitement, constantly praising Fu Huarong’s prowess amidst the crowd, while Fu Huarong herself remained quietly at the sidelines, resting.
When Wu Ziming’s turn arrived, he unfortunately suffered a defeat. Due to his lower cultivation, victory was simply beyond his reach.
In the end…
It came down to Wu Zimo and Wu Zidao.
Having witnessed Hong Fang and the others compete, Wu Zidao felt minimal pressure when facing Wu Zimo.
He had achieved a breakthrough just the day before.
He had ascended to the warrior level.
To be precise, his cultivation slightly surpassed that of Bai Ruiguang. Dealing with Bai Ruiguang, let alone Wu Zimo, posed no challenge for him.
At this moment…
It so happened that Wu Zidao defeated Wu Zimo, imparting some crucial lessons to him.
Wu Zidao glanced at Wu Zimo. “I never expected to see you on the competition stage one day. Although your cultivation level isn’t on par with mine, you’ve shown considerable skill.”
“Uncle Takeo must have mentioned our situation to you.”
“….”
“After I assume the role of Tribe Chief, I want you to assist me.”
“….”
“Our family already boasts numerous martial artists. Previously, the family head acted impulsively out of disappointment in you and tasked you with aiding me. Consider it a form of compensation for you.”
“….”
“And what about you? Take some time to think it over.”
“….”
“As you grow older and attain the cultivation of a martial artist, your perspective will undoubtedly broaden. There are certain things that hold great value and must be cherished,” Wu Zidao spoke to Wu Zimo within the arena.
“….”
“In the upcoming competition, I will show some leniency. It’s not an easy task for you to participate,” Wu Zidao conveyed to Wu Zimo with an unexpected hint of compassion.
Under normal circumstances, Wu Zidao would not utter such words.
However, today was an exception.
He, too, found himself astonished by the rapid progress these four individuals had made in their cultivation.
Their curiosity regarding their Master had deepened, and they sought to leverage his abilities.
Hence, he said this earnestly.
He was like a savior in front of Wu Zimo.
He thought.
He should know what was good for him.
