The referee for the competition wore a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what had transpired. The disciples on-site were in an uproar, and those who recognized Shi Tian looked equally confused. After all, the burly man gave off an impression of Liu Dong that was quite profound; he did not seem like someone who would bully the weak or take advantage of others. What was going on?
As the crowd buzzed with speculation, a middle-aged man dressed in a sky-blue Dao robe descended from the sky, stepping onto auspicious clouds. He landed gracefully in the stands, and everyone uniformly bowed to him, their voices resonating throughout the area as they greeted their master, wishing him boundless magical power.
"Shi Tian and Dong Zhen privately robbed others of their treasures at Liu Village's Fairy Market last month and have been demoted to Outer Sect Disciples," he explained. "Thus, there is no issue with Shi Tian being on stage now. Is that clear?"
The disciples understood.
At that moment, the Elder Judge standing in the Arena let out a sigh of relief. Since their master had come forward to clarify the matter, no one would dare to stir up trouble over it, and they need not worry about attracting unnecessary complications.
The competition resumed.
With a command from the elder referee, the matches in the Arena continued, and the venue returned to its previous state.
"Brother Shi is not someone who bullies others or steals their things," Xiazhi said with a smile.
Bu Luo clearly noticed that Shi Tian was not inclined to respond to Xiazhi's question. Shi Tian was a year older than Xiazhi, and their entry into the Outer Court had been very close together. Xiazhi had some understanding of Shi Tian's reputation; aside from being known for his diligence, there wasn't much else to say about him. However, during one Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition, Shi Tian had demonstrated to everyone that even with hard work alone, one could become powerful. By the time Xiazhi reached Foundation Establishment, Shi Tian had already become a True Disciple.
Despite Xiazhi's low profile, if she were to enter the Harmony Society, few would realize that this seemingly unremarkable junior sister possessed such formidable strength.
In that moment, two seemingly similar individuals finally clashed in such an arena. Shi Tian's diligence shone through even more brightly than before, while Xiazhi's restraint was astonishing. Those who knew of both Shi Tian's and Xiazhi's abilities were secretly anticipating this match—a clash representing two generations within the academy.
Why were these two individuals so noteworthy? Unlike others who bore the halo of genius above their heads, these diligent disciples were more fitting representatives of what the academy stood for. If talent alone determined a sect's strength, then perhaps the academy would have already wiped out all other sects in Dust Realm during Yin Tianheng's era.
Now, the battle belonging to those two had finally begun. Xiazhi lifted her leg and used the Mist Technique to obscure the vision of the Arena, not wanting to give Shi Tian a chance to close in. The greatest effect of the Mist Technique was to block sight and shield Divine Sense, allowing a cultivator to remain unaware of their surroundings.
Bu Luo and Shi Tian clearly did not want Xiazhi to succeed so easily. With a Mini Tornado, they dispelled the mist enveloping the Arena and launched an attack towards Xiazhi, forcing her to use the Small Mountain Technique for defense.
Bu Luo and Xiazhi were both clever fighters. As the Small Mountain Technique struck in front of her, the Small Teleportation Technique was already in motion. With a flick of her Light Spirit Sword, she appeared suddenly behind Shi Tian.
"Nice move!"
Without turning around, Shi Tian swung his fist directly at Xiazhi's shoulder, showing no intention of defending. That aggressive stance forced Xiazhi to redirect her sword's momentum, using the Light Spirit Sword to block Shi Tian's punch.
The two quickly separated, and Shi Tian burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the Martial Arts Hall. In contrast, Xiazhi frowned; she ultimately did not dare to clash hard with Shi Tian. She couldn't be sure if he was wearing defensive artifacts. If he truly was equipped with them, Xiazhi would likely suffer greatly due to her insufficient gear. Bu Luo, Shi Tian, and Yan Dong laughed together, leaving Xiazhi uncertain.
Clearly not wanting to dwell on that issue any longer, Xiazhi directly cast a spell towards Shi Tian. This time, she had no intention of engaging in close combat; if Shi Tian really had defensive artifacts, then in a contest of spells, at least she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
The Arena was in Shiyun Buyu, with flying sand and rolling stones; even the ground had turned quite muddy. The eastern side of the Arena resembled scorched earth under frost, making the watching disciples yearn for strength like that of the two fighters in the Arena.
"Who do you think will win this battle?" Liu Yu asked, tilting his head.
"Shi Tian."
