“Hahaha…”
Bursts of laughter rang out. Countless people doubled over, laughing so hard they swayed back and forth.
At that moment, Qu You could not hold back anymore. Filled with raging anger, he charged onto the battle platform. The referee did not stop him.
However, in an instant, Qu You was once again controlled by Peng Wen’s spiritual sense and rolled off the platform again.
“Ah!!!” After regaining his senses once more, Qu You’s roar echoed out, drawing even louder waves of mocking laughter.
Qu You looked completely deranged. He clutched his head and screamed like a madman.
He was supposed to be a genius spiritual controller of an entire province. Yet now he had been forced to kneel, lick feet, crawl through someone’s crotch, and utter every kind of humiliating self-insult. When he charged up again, he was controlled and made to roll off once more.
This simply left him utterly humiliated. He even felt like killing himself.
“Quiet! Next one!”
At that point, the referee’s voice sounded.
Qu You slumped in despair. He covered his face and began to sob bitterly, teetering on the edge of collapse.
Then Ximen Jing stepped onto the platform with her sign. Her refined and beautiful appearance immediately drew attention from many people.
Such a stunning woman surely would not be humiliated like that, right?
If anyone dared to humiliate this beauty, it would definitely spark public outrage. The consequences for the offender would likely be very miserable.
Therefore, quite a few spiritual controllers in the same group silently made up their minds.
If the opponent chose them, even if they won, they would absolutely let the other side leave the platform with dignity. There would be no humiliating actions whatsoever.
After stepping onto the platform, Ximen Jing looked towards Lin Xiao. Her tone was extremely polite as she said, “I have long heard of Brother Mu Haoran’s great name. Please grant me your guidance, Brother Mu.”
“She actually chose me on her own?” Lin Xiao was stunned.
He had been worried that some older spiritual controller might pick him next, forcing him to reveal his strength. Then if he chose Ximen Jing afterwards, she might not even dare step up and would just concede directly.
Now things turned out perfectly. The fourth person to step up was Ximen Jing, and she had actively chosen him.
A trace of delight rose in his heart. Lin Xiao walked step by step towards the platform.
At that moment, Qu You, whose mind had already collapsed in every way, heard the three words “Mu Haoran”. It was as if he had grasped a lifesaving straw. He quickly raised his head and looked towards Lin Xiao, who was walking forward.
“Mu Haoran, I don’t believe you can win this match either. Your ending definitely won’t be any better!” Qu You said coldly.
Lin Xiao could not help but feel puzzled. Qu You had just been humiliated by someone else, and now he was using him as a target to vent his anger?
“You said earlier that your name is ‘Roll’?” Lin Xiao turned back and smiled at Qu You.
“Mu Haoran!!!” Qu You exploded with rage. His fists clenched tightly.
Lin Xiao ignored him and continued walking up to the platform.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Lin Xiao did not rush to act. Instead, he calmly asked, “Yangzhou, disciple of Spirit Phoenix Valley, Ximen Jing?”
“That’s correct. I didn’t expect Brother Mu to know my sect. Please show mercy, Brother Mu.” Ximen Jing clasped her hands and spoke with considerable politeness.
However, a faint cold light flashed in her eyes. A strand of spiritual sense immediately surged towards Lin Xiao’s brow.
The perceptive Lin Xiao instantly noticed the hidden cold light in her eyes. Although she concealed it well, it could not escape his observation.
When he sensed her directly unleashing spiritual sense to try to control him, Lin Xiao’s heart turned icy. Before her spiritual sense could even enter his mind, he shattered it with a single counter-blast.
Then a surge of spiritual power flowed out and attached itself directly to Ximen Jing.
“This woman wants to defeat Mu Haoran, yet she remains quite polite. She seems to be a very well-mannered person.”
“Not even thirty years old and already in the second round of the Spiritual Controller Grand Competition. She must be an absolute top-tier genius spiritual controller. If there’s a chance, I’d really like to exchange pointers with her properly.”
“She spoke so courteously, but it looks like she has complete confidence in beating Mu Haoran. Unfortunately, since she’s a woman, he probably won’t go too hard on her. It would be such a pity if the first person to defeat Mu Haoran can’t humiliate him properly!”
…
Many people began to speak up.
On the spectator stands, Murong Jin let out a cold snort. “Hmph, Ximen Jing is the number one genius of our Spirit Phoenix Valley. She was just one step away from reaching seventh-grade mid-level spiritual power. With only sixth-grade advanced spiritual power, he thinks he can win? Simply delusional.”
“Exactly. Senior Sister Ximen will definitely take this match. I hope Senior Sister Ximen goes hard on him!” the young man beside Murong Jin said. He had been eliminated in the previous round and could only watch as a spectator this time. He had long been unable to stand Mu Haoran’s earlier arrogance.
“Don’t worry. Although Ximen Jing is a woman, when she gets ruthless, she’s no less than me!” Murong Jin replied.
Hearing Murong Jin’s words, the young man felt reassured. They all knew how ruthless their Valley Master could be, even though she was a woman.
Now they could simply sit back and enjoy the show. Mu Haoran’s fate would definitely not be any better than Qu You’s.
Moreover, their Senior Sister Ximen Jing’s reputation would begin to rise from this moment.
Not far away, the people from Holy Heaven Sect and the Ji family naturally heard Murong Jin’s words as well. Dark, expectant smiles appeared on their faces.
Just as countless people were filled with anticipation, on Platform No. 10, a loud “Bang!” sounded. Everyone saw Ximen Jing drop heavily to her knees. Without any warning, she knelt before Lin Xiao.
“This, this is impossible?” Murong Jin shot to her feet.
The others were all dumbfounded.
The spiritual controllers outside Platform No. 10 were equally stunned.
Ximen Jing had actually been defeated by Mu Haoran too?
And Mu Haoran had directly forced her to kneel?
Such a beauty, and Mu Haoran showed her no face at all, making her kneel in front of so many people?
On the battle platform, Ximen Jing herself was completely dazed.
Her entire body was bound by the opponent’s spiritual power. Even her mouth was locked. She could not even open it to concede.
No matter how she thought about it, she could not understand. The other side only had sixth-grade advanced spiritual power. How could he be this strong? She did not even have the power to fight back.
What made her even angrier was that she had already spoken so politely. Yet he had directly forced her to kneel. At the very least, she was a great beauty, wasn’t she?
This guy actually wanted to humiliate her?
“Bang!”
While Ximen Jing was still unable to comprehend, a surge of spiritual power controlled her head and slammed it hard against the ground. Ximen Jing felt a sharp pain. A stream of blood immediately flowed down from her forehead.
“What? He actually made Ximen Jing kowtow, and such a heavy kowtow?”
“Does he have a heart made of iron? Such a great beauty, and he forces her to kneel and kowtow so brutally!”
“She came up so politely, and he treats her like this?”
“This guy, when it’s my turn on the platform, I’m definitely going to deal with him properly!”
…
The people outside the battle platform nearly exploded with anger. They wished they could rush up and humiliate Mu Haoran thoroughly.
Qu You, who had been hoping to find some balance by watching Lin Xiao suffer, was once again stunned. His expectations collapsed instantly. His entire aura wilted. He could no longer find any way to vent his emotions.
“How dare he!” Murong Jin gritted her teeth fiercely. If not for her fear of the grand competition rules, she would have charged up long ago.
However, this was Spirit Pool Island, the holy land of spiritual controllers, presided over by an eighth-grade initial-level spiritual controller. In the end, she endured it. She did not even dare to threaten Mu Haoran out loud.
And at that moment, an even more shocking scene unfolded, leaving everyone stunned.
