"Yuwen Xiong, in response to your invitation, I have come to serve as the referee for this match!" Ling Siwen stood on the Arena, addressing Yuwen Xiong, who was seated at the Judging Table.
Yuwen Xiong was still immersed in the surprise of Ling Mo Xie flying up to the Arena. Hearing Ling Siwen's words, he took a long time to react. It was Gao Ciling, sitting nearby, who stood up and said, "Haha! Head of the Ling family, your family truly has an abundance of talent. First there was Ling Liyun, and now there's Ling Mo Xie. As the head of the family, you must feel fulfilled in this life! Come, come! Quickly take a seat and see what kind of performance these two youngsters will put on for us today!"
Ling Mo Xie glanced towards the Judging Table, nodding at Gao Lao, Long Lao, and Dongfang Siyu, acknowledging them. Ling Siwen had already taken his seat at the Judging Table.
There were a total of five judges: Ling Siwen, Yuwen Xiong, Gao Ciling, Long Lao, and Princess Siyu. At this moment, Yuwen Xiong had recovered from his shock and was looking at Ling Mo Xie with a hostile gaze.
If it weren't for Ling Mo Xie, Yu'er would not have been detained at the auction house, nor would he have had to personally apologize to retrieve her. The dignity of the head of the Yuwen Family had been completely tarnished!
Hmph! This time Yu'er not only broke through to the Heart Movement stage but also has my "secret weapon!" I refuse to believe that she can't surpass someone like Ling Mo Xie. I want everyone in the city to see that she is far beyond what a former waste could compare to!
Yuwen Xiong's thoughts were evident; he was filled with confidence!
Dongfang Siyu looked at Ling Mo Xie on the Arena and then at Yuwen Xiong beside her, frowning as she said, "I heard that Yuwen Qingyu has broken through to the Heart Movement stage and is one major realm above Ling Mo Xie. This match seems rather unfair."
Yuwen Xiong narrowed his eyes and respectfully replied to Dongfang Siyu, "Princess! You should know that this match was initiated by Ling Mo Xie challenging my grandson Yuwen Qingyu. How could it possibly be unfair?"
"But... Yuwen Qingyu has already..."
"Enough, Princess. This match was indeed a challenge I issued to Yuwen Qingyu. Since he has accepted it, let us proceed with this match!" Ling Mo Xie stepped forward to stand before the Judging Table and addressed Dongfang Siyu.
Dongfang Siyu looked up in astonishment at Ling Mo Xie towering over her. From his dark eyes, she could see no trace of fear—only slowly rising anger and fighting spirit!
“Where is Yuwen Qingyu?” Ling Mo Xie turned to Yuwen Chong, who was sitting nearby, and asked, his tone devoid of any respect. He was a person who clearly distinguished between love and hate; since Yuwen Qingyu was an enemy, there was no need for false politeness.
“What? Do you really want me to torture you sooner? How pathetic!” Just as Ling Mo Xie finished speaking, a voice came from above—it was undoubtedly Yuwen Qingyu.
Yuwen Qingyu stood atop a tall building by the street. After saying this, he lightly leaped down onto the Arena, causing Ling Mo Xie's eyes to narrow. Such jumping ability was indeed stronger than his own; Yuwen Qingyu had truly broken through to the Heart-Feeling Stage!
Then, he shook his head in self-mockery. Regardless of whether he had broken through or not, this match was unavoidable; in fact, neither side had considered escaping.
Ling Mo Xie was not angered by Yuwen Qingyu's words. Even if they started arguing now, it would not harm Yuwen Qingyu; it would be better to just beat him up later!
“Can we start now?” Ling Mo Xie stood facing Yuwen Qingyu, his eyes slightly narrowed as he asked the judges behind him.
“Haha! Of course we can start; let’s begin right now! Isn’t that right, Yuer?” Yuwen Chong laughed heartily, as if he had already secured victory.
Ling Mo Xie smiled and said, “Then please activate the formation!” During competitions among cultivators, there would generally be immense destructive power involved. Therefore, whenever a match took place, defensive formations were usually set up during the construction of the Arena to envelop the competitors.
Yuwen Chong looked at Dongfang Siyu. To show his respect for the royal family, he had arranged for the royal personnel to set up this formation.
Dongfang Siyu glanced at Ling Mo Xie, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, at that moment, a fiery red figure was crouched on a rooftop beside the street, watching intently at the Arena.
Seeing the worry in Dongfang Siyu's eyes, Yuwen Qingyu curled his lip and muttered, “What princess? She’s not even in the same world as Mo Xie; what is she worried about? Hmph!” However, Yuwen Qingyu was indeed formidable; he wondered if Mo Xie could defeat him!
What Sun Xiaoxiao did not realize was that she too bore a deep expression of concern. Shaking her head and talking to herself, she said, “Hmm! I believe in him! I believe in him! He can definitely do it!” “Ah! Why am I praying for him to win? If he wins, then I won’t have to compete against him! I definitely can’t beat him!” Sun Xiaoxiao continued to struggle with her thoughts on the rooftop.
Above the Arena, Yuwen Chong reminded Dongfang Siyu, "Princess?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was lost in thought!" Dongfang Siyu smiled apologetically and waved to the Royal Guard below the Arena.
Suddenly, a semicircular transparent Barrier reflecting sunlight rose from the Arena, enveloping Ling Mo Xie and Yuwen Qingyu within it.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yuwen Qingyu's mouth. The insults I suffered yesterday will all be repaid today! Although he thought this way, he did not rush to attack. After all, he was one realm higher than Ling Mo Xie and had complete confidence; he wanted to slowly torment Ling Mo Xie!
"Hmph!" Ling Mo Xie snorted lightly, a smirk on his face. How could he not see through Yuwen Qingyu's intentions? I will not do as you wish! Ling Mo Xie shouted in his heart and launched a Glimpse of the Stunning Swan towards Yuwen Qingyu.
"Haha!" Yuwen Qingyu laughed and said, "Is this the extent of your attack? Do you think this is child's play?" In an instant, Yuwen Qingyu took out a Longsword from his Storage Ring. The Longsword was entirely blue with Azure Dragon patterns winding around it. Ling Mo Xie immediately recognized its grade—Low-Grade Earth Tier!
After drawing the Longsword, Yuwen Qingyu leisurely performed a sword flourish. The Longsword seemed like a streak of blue lightning as it met Ling Mo Xie's Glimpse of the Stunning Swan.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out. Ling Mo Xie's Glimpse of the Stunning Swan was impressive; it sparked brilliantly against Yuwen Qingyu's Longsword, causing Yuwen Qingyu to slide back several feet and crash into the edge of the formation.
However, ultimately, because that strike was made with an ordinary orange Longsword, its durability was exhausted and it shattered into pieces, falling to the ground without causing any harm to Yuwen Qingyu.
