One Punch shocks the whole venue!
(Soliciting monthly votes)_2 In the crowd, a woman’s figure was slender and graceful, her waist straight, her steps graceful, her demeanor elegantly unassailable, causing many male cultivators to sneak glances.
However, what drew more attention almost universally from both genders was a tall and robust cultivator with a handsome face, who walked with grace and confidence, his temples adorned with distinctive white hair fluttering alongside this woman.
Seeing the mark of white hair on his temples, many disciples of the Longevity Sect around the edge of the duel platform began to stir and discuss.
...
“Chen Dengming.”
Hua Zhenyu’s gaze flashed, he stood up and looked straight over.
Chen Dengming was having a cheerful conversation with the fellow disciples around him when he noticed the gaze from afar.
His sharp eyes glanced at He Yingyu, then fell on Hua Zhenyu in the distance.
He gave a faint smile and made a polite greeting.
Hua Zhenyu suddenly felt a kind of intense pressure from that distant gaze which made his heart palpitate.
He was unsure whether it was merely psychological, or if Chen Dengming’s look indeed contained such a powerful divine thought.
“He is indeed very strong!”
Hua Zhenyu furrowed his brows, recalling the scenes of their sparring in the Fantastical True Cave.
Even in the Fantastical True Cave, he only managed to defeat Chen Dengming after two attempts.
As everyone knows, the simulated opponents recorded in the Fantastical True Cave are generally weaker and more predictable than the real ones.
In this strength comparison, he could only hope to last a bit longer.
At the very least, he needed to last longer than other candidates to obtain higher evaluations and maintain an advantage.
From afar, as Chen Dengming withdrew his gaze, he happened to spot the hearty and boisterous Tan Siyan coming his way, making polite greetings to Chen Dengming.
“Brother Chen, your strength is beyond doubt.
I just hope you will leave some face for your senior in the upcoming duel, haha.”
“Elder brother Ran is too modest…”
As Chen Dengming was about to respond, he suddenly received a transmitted message from Tan Siyan.
“Brother Chen, I asked Master Ran to vote for you, completely giving up on competing for the Longevity Seed this time, and fully supporting you.
I sincerely hope that you win the Longevity Seed.”
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming was surprised.
Looking into Tan Siyan’s deep and meaningful eyes and the intriguing smile at the corner of his mouth, he understood the intention, showed a smile, and transmitted a response.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Tan, for your generous support!”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then walked together to the area where the Taishi chairs were located and sat down.
At this point, numerous golden core elders and executives of the Longevity Sect, along with cultivators at the False Core stage, all arrived one after another, seated themselves in the area where the Taishi chairs were located.
The stands in the distance were already filled with disciples of the Longevity Sect.
Those who couldn’t find a seat were flying in the air, watching from above.
For a while, countless spiritual lights flashed in the semi-air near Evergreen Peak, like a night sky laden with twinkling stars.
The buzz of conversation and discussion mixed with the wind, and the warmth of everyone’s breath seemed to raise the temperature of the air.
This kind of scene was indeed a grand event for the Longevity Sect.
As soon as Chen Dengming sat down and took a sip of tea, he received a transmitted message from He Yingyu.
“Younger brother, this Hua Zhenyu, with his laughing and lovable appearance, is obviously not any good stuff, but a hypocrite.
The slanders and accusations against you must have come from him.
Recently, someone has been trying to smear Elder Brother Tan.
I think it must be that Hua’s work.”
Chen Dengming calmly transmitted,” Whether it’s him or not, I’ll fight with all my might in the upcoming duel.
Now, in terms of the voting and seniority stages, I’m not in a very optimistic situation.
The only thing I can do is to wrestle back some control in this stage of strength comparison.”
“Are you planning to use the Daoist script?”
“If they don’t have any other special preparations, I shouldn’t have to use the Daoist script.
But Sect Leader Xing is aware of the power of the script, so it wouldn’t harm if I really have to use it.”
After transmitting the message, he politely nodded and smiled at Rao Ling, who was waving at him from the distance.
It seemed that among the five candidates, except for the cold and lone Huyan Shunbin, everyone else, including Hua Zhenyu, was good at socializing and would take the initiative to say hello, even to their competitors.
His mind was calm at this time, his gaze fixed on the formation of the duel platform not far away, which was gradually engulfed by a signaling light.
Having experienced countless life-and-death battles over the years, he was no longer excited or thrilled by the prospect of a duel, his heart was as calm as water.
However, this kind of combat on a stage, like a traditional martial arts competition, was a first since he entered the Cultivation World.
Furthermore, this was happening under the watchful eyes of so many people, presenting an interesting twist.
Chen Dengming thought about the suitable skills to supplement his magic treasure in the upcoming battle.
His fellow cultivator Zhu Xun was not by his side, thus one of his combat methods was missing.
But the impact was not significant, as the eye bead he received from the evil curse was still in his possession.
“Silence!

At this moment, a stern and vigorous divine voice, like a sudden gust of wind, spread instantly and clearly into the ears of all disciples.
The scene was suddenly quiet.
The one who spoke was none other than the Sect Leader of Longevity Sect, Xing Huiguang.
His eyes were shining, and he flew above the dueling field, casting a spell that sent out a beam of light.
Suddenly, a magic artifact flew out of the beam, turning into a huge screen of light that projected his figure and the scene of the duel platform onto it, presenting it to all.
“Live broadcast on the big screen?”
