Zhu Wenjing’s opponent initially underestimated her due to his cultivation being higher. But upon seeing the Ruyi Soul Devouring Whip, his expression beca serious.
A Middle Level Treasure Artifact is already extrely precious. Although his family background isn’t weak, spending millions of Spirit Crystals on a Middle Level Treasure Artifact is unrealistic given his Core Formation Mid-Stage cultivation.
Typically, Core Formation Early and Mid-Stage cultivators use First-Level Treasure Artifacts. Soone like Zhu Wenjing using a Middle Level Treasure Artifact at the Core Formation Early Stage is truly rare.
"Kiss of the Snake!"
Zhu Wenjing suddenly shouted, and the Ruyi Soul Devouring Whip swiftly darted out. The whip itself wasn’t flashy, but at its tip, a black tongue suddenly ford, its scarlet flickering sending a chilling aura that made one’s scalp tingle.
"Since when did this girl learn such a sinister Cultivation Technique?" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but frown.
Zhu Wenjing has always been an innocent girl with no intent to harm others. Her choice of Cultivation Technique is usually spontaneous. Given her nature, she shouldn’t be using poison.
"No, the sinister aura of this Cultivation Technique is just for show!"
Ye Haochuan quickly realized, understanding from his dicinal Cultivator background that there was no real poison in Zhu Wenjing’s technique.
In other words, this sinister aura is just a scare tactic.
Considering Zhu Wenjing’s mischievous nature, using such a technique is understandable. It seems perfect for teasing people.
Her opponent didn’t have Ye Haochuan’s discernnt. As soon as Zhu Wenjing released her technique, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly turned to Long Wei, "She’s violating the rules, quickly remove her from the stage... No, no, Xuann Cultivation Techniques are upright, there can’t be such a vicious technique. She must be an Evil Sect spy, quickly kill her!"
Not only him, but also many in the audience changed their expressions, watching Zhu Wenjing with vigilance.
Long Wei remained unchanged, only waving his hand just as the snake’s head was about to bite the opponent, grabbing Zhu Wenjing’s whip.
The once fearso Black Snake instantly turned into a small worm, struggling weakly in Long Wei’s hand.
That person thought Long Wei agreed with him and hurriedly said, "Lord Long, quickly kill this woman, we can’t let her escape..."
"Silence!" Long Wei’s stern shout made that person’s knees tremble.
Long Wei glanced at him disappointedly and shook his head slightly. This person making it into the top thirty shows so capability, but his lack of courage is disappointing.
Regardless of Zhu Wenjing’s whip being non-poisonous, even if it were, as her opponent, you should fight bravely rather than seek help.
Evidently, this person grew up sheltered, unprepared for unusual situations. No matter how talented, he won’t achieve much.
"Lord Long, I..."
The person felt unreconciled, but Long Wei interrupted, "You’ve lost, now leave the stage!"
Although confused about why Long Wei didn’t capture Zhu Wenjing, he didn’t dare defy Long Wei and sullenly left the stage.
As he stepped down, four other judges shook their heads slightly, marking low scores of one or two on his column in their chart.
If he had stubbornly asked Long Wei for an explanation, his score might have been higher. Unfortunately, despite his dissatisfaction, he dared not ask, showcasing poor courage.
This ti, among the five judges were Yang Xin and that old woman from Phantom Sound Pavilion, but Ye Xian was replaced by another mber of the Ye Family.
After giving that person low scores, they filled in eight or nine scores in Zhu Wenjing’s column.
Out of a total of ten, eight or nine is quite decent.
"Really boring!" Unaware of her first round score, Zhu Wenjing pouted before jumping off the stage.
"Next group, Ye Haochuan versus Tang Sheng!"
Upon hearing Long Wei announce his na, Ye Haochuan began to walk toward the stage.
But before he reached the front, he heard a young man say, "I surrender!"
"Hmm?" Many in the audience were surprised, and all five judges frowned, looking at the young man in confusion.
Because of his age, this young man’s cultivation wasn’t high, just Core Formation Mid-Stage. If, in previous matches, he surrendered knowing he couldn’t win, it might be understandable.
However, there’s no risk of injury today, making his surrender perplexing.
"Are you sure you want to surrender?" Long Wei asked again.
"I’m sure!" the young man answered without hesitation.
Although puzzled, the judges didn’t press any further and simply marked zero for the young man. As for Ye Haochuan, without witnessing his performance, they gave him a middling score of six.
Could it be because I’m too handso?
Ye Haochuan mused mischievously to himself.
At this Greenstone Society event, his opponents had surrendered to him several tis. So due to cultivation gap, others intimidated by the "Mysterious Expert" reputation.
This ti, these reasons clearly didn’t apply. Ye Haochuan could roughly guess so answers but wasn’t certain yet.
Soon, the first round concluded. Among the best perforrs were Long Yang and a young man nad Fan Lei.
This Fan Lei, part of the group previously with Long Yang, was a Nascent Soul Early Stage expert. Allegedly, just over thirty, it was his last Greenstone Society event, prompting him to exert extra effort.
Of course, another worth ntioning is Ji Tianyu. He insisted on participating early, hence fought in a match. His opponent was a girl from Phantom Sound Pavilion, in her twenties, like Zhu Wenjing, just reached Core Formation.
However, in this match, the girl’s strength was average, so Ji Tianyu didn’t exert much, making his performance less impressive compared to Long Yang and Fan Lei.
The second round promptly began, and this ti, Ye Haochuan’s luck ran out; his opponent was Fan Lei.
Both went on stage, and the match quickly comnced.
Fan Lei wielded a large blade, with thunderous sounds as it swung.
Yet Ye Haochuan noticed his barbarous strikes lacked power. After a few moves, Fan Lei was retreating.
Earlier, Fan Lei’s attack wasn’t like this. As soon as he took the stage before, his opponent was defeated instantly by a swift strike.
This anomaly clearly had deeper aning.
Soon, the match ended. Ye Haochuan won again, but only scored six or seven points.
With a furrowed brow, Ye Haochuan cast a cold glance at Ye Xiao.
