I'm not sure if it's fate or someone with a hidden agenda, but the pursuers have really been paired up.
Meng Kun glared at Mo Wenjie with a fierce look. "Tang Fengwu, it's not too late for you to regret now. I'll let that kid off easy because of you, but don't blame me if I'm ruthless. After the martial arts competition ends, I will challenge him. I must leave him skin and bone, so that you understand who the true strong person is. It's truly shameless for him to even think he deserves to be your husband."
Tang Fengwu smiled happily and said to Meng Kun, "You are even qualified to be mentioned alongside Wenjie brother. You'd better wake up. Even I can't beat you. How can you dare challenge my husband? Are you so brave that your courage surpasses your weight? Let me tell you a truthful thing, even if you cultivate for a thousand years, you will still not be a match for Wenjie brother."
Meng Kun's face turned ashen with rage, "I will defeat you first and then challenge him. Watch this! With a single move, he struck with his palms like a torrential storm towards Tang Fengwu."
Tang Fengwu's face turned red as a beetroot, "You filthy scum, dare to touch my breasts. That's something you can't even handle!" She raised her hand and slapped him, sending him flying more than ten meters away and crashing onto the ground outside the ring.
Everyone was shocked beyond belief at the sight. "This beauty is too fierce!" They exclaimed, regardless of how much they liked him. "Even if you don't like him, it's not his fault to like you. You are so cruel, the most heartless woman!"
Jiang Yuhui watched as Meng Kun was sent flying by a single slap, and he glanced at Meng Kun with a look of disdain. "Useless fellow, and you're still in the early stage of the Golden Pill realm? You're really that bad!" Xinxin, I didn't expect Meng Kun to be so ineffective. I think we are a perfect match, both from heaven and earth. After this competition ends, I will challenge Mo Wenjie and show him the gap between us. Then he will have to leave you voluntarily. The woman I have my eye on is not one he dares to lay hands on. If he knows when to quit, then under your face value, I won't do anything to him. But if he insists on his ways without knowing when to back down, then it's his own fault for having no sense of judgment. Don't blame me either when that time comes; everything is self-inflicted by him.
Song Xinxin wanted to tear his mouth apart. "Jiang Yuhui, do you have any self-awareness? Just because you say you can challenge my husband, do you think you're a world-class expert? Do you know what it means to be arrogant? You have no idea how much of a novice you are, and yet, you still want to challenge my husband?"
Jiang Yuhui was so angry that his blood boiled. "Song Xinxin, don't take my kindness for granted. You keep saying 'husband' in front of me as if I'm invisible?" He said angrily. "My patience has limits. Don't test my boundaries, or you'll regret it. I consider myself much stronger than him, but you still refuse to wake up. Then let me teach you a lesson and make you clear your mind. Prepare to receive my move!" He executed a double dragon attack, attempting to grab Song Xinxin's breasts.
Song Xinxin was so ashamed and angry that she lost her temper. "Scoundrel, you're looking for death. This place is off-limits to anyone but him. You truly deserve to be cursed to death. You make me sick with your thoughts," she said, and then she slapped him as well. Jiang Yuhui was sent flying backward and landed next to Meng Kun.
Meng Kun looked at the flying Jiang Yuhui and said, "How did you also end up here? It seems like our abilities are evenly matched. None of us can hold a candle to the other."
Jiang Yuhui heard this and spat out a mouthful of blood. His neck twisted, and he fell unconscious.
Wu Liangren looked at Sun Yuxi, of course knowing her strength. His own master couldn't subdue her, so what gave him the right to think he could defeat her? "Yuxi, I know you're not my opponent, let alone Mo Wenjie's. But I truly like you very much. Let's talk this out. You see, Mo Wenjie already has a few others. Can't he be willing to part with one of them? If he could give you to me, I would do anything, even be his dog if that's what it takes. We are a perfect match made in heaven. Why does he have to be greedy and want more than he can hold? How can one be so unreasonable as a person?"
Sun Yuxi's face turned beet red, "What kind of trash do you think you are, trying to lay a hand on me? You and Mo Wenjie are like oil and water, how dare you even think of making him leave me?" She said angrily. "It's me who is pursuing Mo Wenjie, not you. You have no right to comment on my preferences. If you know what's good for you, you should withdraw immediately and leave us alone. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to send you with them."
Wu Liangren's face paled. He certainly knew that Sun Yuxi was not bluffing and that she could easily slap him with a single hand. "Oh well, it's better to be aware of your limitations than to continue in vain. I admit defeat and will leave on my own," he said, his tone pleading. "But Xinxin, can't you reconsider? My sincerity is obvious to the heavens!"
Sun Yuxi could no longer bear it; her eyes widened in anger, and she raised her hand.
Wu Liangren quickly raised his hand, "Judge, I admit defeat!"
TuoBa Huayu sneered coldly, "Coward! You can like someone but can't be spoiled. Surrendering without a fight is dishonorable. A real man should stand tall and proud, how can he lose his dignity? Ling Xiao, do you agree with me? I admit that I like you very much, but to admit defeat in front of so many people is too humiliating. If we truly love each other, we should respect each other. But it's essential for you to give a man his pride."
Xue Lingxiao was so angry that she trembled all over. "Tuo Ba Hongyu, do you even know who you are, thinking you can become my husband? Do you think you're worthy? I tell you, I have a husband, and he is my one and only. Don't even dream of it."
Tuo Ba Hongyu laughed loudly, "Xue Lingxiao, you really think too much of yourself. I like you doesn't mean that you can act without limits. I am Tuo Ba Hongyu, the first-place winner of two consecutive hidden sect competitions. Countless people like me. It's a fortune for me to be with you, but if you don't cherish it, you are just a worthless weakling. Do you really have a brain? Are you out of your mind to want someone who is nothing but a useless worm?"
Xue Lingxiao was extremely angry. "Tuo Ba Hongyu, it's you who have a disease in your head. You are arrogant, proud, and think that your Hua Mountain Sect is the best in the world. Do you know that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens? You think my husband can't be a match for you? That's your ignorance. Do you even understand what it means to say 'summer insects cannot discuss ice with winter ones'? He isn't even worthy of being his shoe-shine boy, yet you dare to challenge him? You're just making noise like a toad."
Tuo Ba Hongyu was furious. "Xue Lingxiao, you are courting death. The dignity of the Hua Mountain Sect cannot be offended. It seems that I have been too kind to you, and you dared to challenge me like this. Today, I will show you what it means to follow the three Regulations and the five Morals. After dealing with you, I will deal with that ignorant little guy. If you surrender now, I can forgive your disrespect, otherwise, I will severely punish you and let you know what it means to be a virtuous woman."
Xue Lingxiao's face turned ashen with rage. "Tuo Ba Hongyu, how dare you defile my virtue? Today, I will make you taste some suffering unless you learn the meaning of 'why flowers are so red'."
Upon hearing this, Tuo Ba Hongyu no longer wasted words. "Watch this," he said, as he extended his five fingers towards Xue Lingxiao's chest with a move known as "Five Fingers Ascending the Stage."
Xue Lingxiao saw this and her anger boiled over. "Filthy pervert, filthy scum, trying to destroy my child's provisions? I won't let you off so easily. You should know the consequences of affecting the next generation. She gathered her true qi and slapped Tuo Ba Hongyu's face with a forceful blow.
Tuo Ba Hongyu cried out in agony, flying backward more than ten meters with his three teeth clattered to the ground. By chance, he collided with Meng Kun and Jiang Yuhui who were regaining their senses from sitting on the ground.
Meng Kun and Jiang Yuhui were left dazed after the collision. "Why are you hurting us like this, Tuo Ba Hongyu? Are we your enemies?" they asked in confusion.
The elder at the stage was shocked, "How can this be? The Huanjing Sect Competition this year is such a mess? Why are the four families from the secret realm that nobody has heard of sitting comfortably in the top four? This is too incredible!" he exclaimed. "Who can tell me why this is happening? I now declare that the top four of the Huanjing Sect Competition have been born. They are Xue Lingxiao, Tang Fengwu, Song Xinxin, and Sun Yuxi. They will compete for the first and second place shortly."
The onlookers below the stage all turned their eyes towards the seats of the secret realm. The four families from the secret realm were about to rise, and they would undoubtedly have a place among the hidden sects in the future. It was advisable to establish good relationships with them early on, so that when the time comes, they could lend a hand, and that would be more than satisfying.
Tang Shaotian and the other three family patriarchs were beaming with pride, their faces aglow! After thousands of years, the secret realm has finally gained its rightful place in the world. It seems that Heaven has sent Mo Wenjie to us to protect and bless our secret realm.
The elder at the stage announced, "The match for the first and second place was supposed to be held. However, since the top four have decided against further competition and are ready to crown their ranking, I hereby declare the rankings of the Huanjing Sect Competition: Xue Lingxiao ranks first, Tang Fengwu ranks second, Song Xinxin ranks third, and Sun Yuxi ranks fourth. If there are any young talents in the audience who feel that this is unfair, they are welcome to challenge them on the stage."
There was silence below the stage. They four had defeated even strong men like Tuo Ba Hong, Jiang Yuhui, and Meng Kun, so why would we go up and make a fool of ourselves? You can rank them however you want; it doesn't concern us. It doesn't matter who is first; it's not about me anyway.
Since everyone is in agreement, the competition is hereby concluded. We will now proceed to the challenge segment. Any disciples from the hidden sect can challenge other disciples of the same level. The challenged disciple has no right to refuse, unless they choose to publicly acknowledge defeat. I hereby declare that the challenge tournament among disciples of the hidden sect has begun!
Meng Kun, Jiang Yuhui, and Tuo Ba Hongyu, who had just regained their composure, walked onto the stage together and pointed at Mo Wenjie in unison, "We challenge him!"
The crowd was taken aback by the news. The elder on the stage said, "You three have just sustained injuries and are not fit to challenge. If you insist on challenging, any issues that arise will be at your own risk. Are you clear with this rule?"
The three men spoke in unison, "We certainly know that. If we die on this challenge platform today, it will have nothing to do with the person being challenged."
The elder on the stage asked, "Young man, the three of them are challenging you. Are you willing to compete with them? If you dare to challenge, come to the arena. If you do not accept the challenge, just publicly acknowledge your defeat."
Mo Wenjie pointed at the four beautiful women, "My wives can defeat them all. Do you think they are qualified to challenge me?"
There was a commotion below the stage!
