Jinguo on their side probably maintained their mysteriousness, while Chuguo’s Xiang Bei was famously arrogant and likely looked down on the selection competition. Only Jinge from Mugu, for some reason unknown, did not come to watch today, probably also showing the arrogance of a powerful nation.
Qiao Lin stared eagerly at the Arena, occasionally glancing at Lord Jiang Jue with his peripheral vision.
In the past, Lord Jiang Jue would have been enthusiastically discussing with him by now.
But since Qin Zhizhen left, Lord Jiang Jue stopped talking. Although Qiao Lin was itching to speak, he could only follow suit in silence.
This feeling was too uncomfortable.
Forcing a chatterbox to shut up was like making a hungry person watch delicious food without allowing them to eat.
Damn these People of Qin!
Of course, he dared not glare at Qin Zhizhen like Yellow Sheri did, he could only mutter in his heart.
On the spectator stands, people naturally harbored all sorts of emotions. Some were expectant, others indifferent.
But on the Arena, there was only one hope - to win.
Jiang Limeng might be slightly different because she was already certain to win. What she needed to consider was how to win.
Lin Zhengren from Zhuang Country, a brother apprentice of upstanding character and quite promising. Being from the same Dao Vassal Nations, should she let him keep some face and allow him a dignified loss?
Or should she just win as quickly as possible, showing the world the strength of Sheng Country and her own talent, Jiang Limeng?
On her way to the Arena, she was still considering and hesitating.
The moment she stepped onto the Arena, facing the eyes focused from all directions, she suddenly realized,
In such a setting, on such a momentous occasion, why should she leave face for anyone else?
She should only strive for victory, a beautiful, glorious, and unquestionable victory.
In the Yellow Millet Secret Realm, they had shared a journey together, out of consideration for being from the same Dao lineage, she had helped this humble brother apprentice, and both had their gains afterward.
Today, it was his time to reciprocate.
Last night, Lin Zhengren had responded that he had thought it through and was willing to gracefully concede, but he hoped to retain some dignity in the fight. He hoped even more that his senior sister would relay to the higher-ups in his country, requesting more consideration for Zhuang Country from Sheng Country...
He indeed was a young man of loyalty and patriotism. freewebnσvel.cѳm
However, if she had to resort to underhanded tactics to beat a talent from Zhuang Country, what would her competitors think? So she naturally wouldn’t relay his message.
Nevertheless, she was very satisfied with Lin Zhengren’s attitude, and she would remember this favor.
If he was willing, she wouldn’t mind offering him more help in the future.
If he harbored resentment... then that would be the end of it, with no further interaction.
As a Dao Vassal State, Zhuang Country was isolated in the Western Territory; no matter how they strategized, their development was inherently limited. She and Lin Zhengren were simply worlds apart.
Indeed, she admired Lin Zhengren’s moral character, but at the Yellow River Gathering, she ultimately had her own relentless pursuits.
Now, she stood on the Arena marked with the letter "Bing."
She knew, even those who had made it this far were the best among the best, participating in today’s seven concurrent battles. The ones involving her were bound to be among the most closely watched.
Because Sheng Country simply had that kind of influence. Because she, Jiang Limeng, was truly worth all this anticipation!
She looked towards Lin Zhengren, gazing at this refined, humble Dao Vein brother apprentice, and suddenly felt him somewhat pitiable. He had also strived very hard, advancing to this point against great odds, only to have no further opportunity.
But she carefully preserved his pride, not showing her pity.
With a composed, magnanimous gaze, she met Lin Zhengren’s restrained, humble eyes, mutually acknowledging their pre-battle agreement.
As the announcement from the General of the Divine Strategy Army resounded, this predictable battle officially began.
The Divine Strategy Army really was annoying.
Jiang Limeng suddenly thought. Then she saw, a tall wall of water surged towards her. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Behind the water wall, Lin Zhengren’s Hand Gestures flew. Water Jiao roared, verdant vines wildly grew, with Water tactics and Wood tactics Dao Techniques interconnecting and alternating rapidly.
It must be said, his foundational Dao Technique was very solid.
He wished to struggle a bit before gracefully conceding, didn’t he?
Pity...
Jiang Limeng sighed quietly in her heart.
Then she leapt into the air.
Compassion was there, but mercy was not retained in battle.
Her movements were gentle and graceful, as if about to dance into the sky.
In her eyes, there was brilliance.
That overflowing light, so rich and bright, almost seemed to flow out, to spill out of her eyes.
When she leapt into the air, she became light.
That brilliant and intense beam of light, with her at the center, suddenly exploded, endlessly dazzling.
Divine Skills, Siyao!
The owner of this Divine Skill, was essentially a master of light!
Jiang Limeng initiated with a killing move, using a Divine Skill immediately, not planning any tacit performance with Lin Zhengren. Instead, she aimed to determine the outcome with one strike, securing her spot in the main competition first today in the fastest and most fervent manner!
Sunlight, moonlight, starlight, candlelight... Light was everywhere.
Light is warm, and also harmonious.
But when it becomes fierce?
On the other side of the Arena, Lin Zhengren grunted, tightly closing his eyes as two streams of blood trickled down from the corners.
There was simply no avoiding, no hiding; the moment he saw the light, he was already hurt by it!
