As the crowd buzzed with discussions about the Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition, the elders of the Martial Arts Hall had already made their appearance. The first to step out from the grand hall was Elder Dong Ling, a figure whose icy demeanor seemed to freeze the air around her. Before Coco Huo Lian arrived at the academy, the title of Ice Beauty had belonged to her, and her face, reminiscent of ancient frost, sent chills down one's spine.
Dong Ling stood there, and not a single Outer Court disciple dared to utter a word. They all waited; once an elder spoke, it would signify the start of the Demonstration.
An old man dressed in a blue Dao robe adorned with flying cloud patterns stepped forward beside Dong Ling. He produced a golden decree, a handwritten edict from their master detailing the rules for this Demonstration.
By the master's command, this Demonstration would be an Arena Battle. Each participant would have only one chance to fight. The victor could gain True Inheritance and receive the academy's legacy.
As these words echoed through the air, silence enveloped the surroundings. It had been many years since such a tournament had taken place at the Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition. The rules were quite harsh; it was essentially a battle royale, and many disciples might struggle to survive even their first opponent. Moreover, there was always the risk of manipulation behind the scenes—one could easily be set up to lose against someone they intended to defeat. Such occurrences were not uncommon.
Now, the Demonstration was about to begin.
Contrary to everyone's expectations of a spectacular scene, no one seemed eager to step up and defend the arena. With thousands of disciples in the Outer Court, it would be impossible for each one to fight their way through; they could very well be ground down by relentless battles. Additionally, many were waiting for opportunities to pick up scraps left by others.
For a moment, no one was willing to take the stage. The elders were not anxious either; from the moment they received their master's decree, they had already sent people to Yin Wind Gorge. No one wanted to witness anyone emerge alive from that place, let alone see them appear in the Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition.
Although thousands of years had passed, no one wished for another Yin Tianheng to emerge from Dust Realm. Such monsters should not exist; all potential threats needed to be eliminated in their cradle before they could grow into such beings. No one could break this established balance unless an extraordinarily unique situation arose.
The meaning behind their master's tournament was clear—it was not merely about buying time for new disciples. The implications were already evident; it needed to be widely understood. If Outer Court disciples learned about this, those elders would fear that a young person might become like that, which would surely provoke laughter among many.
Suddenly, someone stepped onto the stage.
Truly worthy of being called the Leader of that generation's Outer Sect, Ruo Nan's presence was unmatched and intimidating.
"Is it really Nuo Ran? Has she already broken through?"
If Coco hasn't truly reached the Golden Core Stage, she shouldn't be afraid of such a wheel battle.
The spectators looked at Ruo Nan, and for a moment, no one dared to challenge her. The previously heated atmosphere quickly turned cold. Bu Luo clearly knew that this awkward silence wouldn't last long; after all, many had come to spar, but those who could truly seize a spot were few and far between. Soon, the other nine arenas were filled with challengers, and the real battles began. However, no one dared to challenge Ruo Nan in her arena.
Finally, at ten past noon, a disciple whom no one had seen before approached Ruo Nan's arena and challenged her, who was recognized by the Outer Sect Disciples as the leader of the Outer Court.
"Junior Brother Chen Si is here to challenge Ruo Nan. I hope Senior Sister will provide guidance."
Coco didn't know him well, but Chen Minghua, who often hung out with Gu Yi, certainly knew who Chen Si was. The spectators couldn't help but feel a chill for Chen Si, hoping he wouldn't provoke Ruo Nan. After all, Chen Si wasn't on the same level as Nuo Ran.
"I don't deny it," he thought. It would be better to admit defeat early.
He knew that he had come here wanting to understand what his Junior Brother Xuanming had done wrong and hoped for guidance from his Senior Sister.
What had he done wrong? How could he know? What did it have to do with him?
He felt unworthy of the central arena; only Junior Brother was fit for it. Although they hadn't known each other long, he felt that Junior Brother was stronger than him. Chen Si's playful demeanor faded away, replaced by a serious expression. Keke wanted to mask the sadness of the bright moon; he knew that if his Junior Brother hadn't arrived yet, he would definitely be the strongest—without exception. Could Cigarette Paper really make it here?
No one knew for sure. After all, everyone understood that after the killing spree, he had gone to Yin Wind Gorge. Whatever happened there was beyond the academy's concern.
