36: Holy Land Competition, I can’t go without giving up!

Chapter 36: Holy Land Competition, Refusing to Participate!

The Holy Land Competition also commenced as scheduled.

Cloud Heaven Holy Land was exceptionally lively, attracting many Holy Land higher-ups and Core Disciples to observe.

In this Holy Land Competition, Xiao Yunting completely made a name for himself, crushing his opponents several times with his powerful strength.

Among them were several individuals who were quite famous within the Holy Land and were Disciples closely watched by many Holy Land higher-ups.

However, facing Xiao Yunting, they were completely overwhelmed, defeated in just a few moves.

This led to Xiao Yunting's fame skyrocketing.

Having made a name for himself, Xiao Yunting became a favored candidate for many Elders, who all entertained the idea of taking him as a Disciple.

Amidst the incredibly bustling Holy Land, only one place remained extremely quiet: Holy Spirit Peak.

This place was as serene as ever, appearing out of place compared to other parts of the Holy Land.

Holy Spirit Peak.

Hua Mengying approached Fang Chen, asking curiously, "Your Highness, Saint, are you not interested in the Holy Land Competition?"

"I see many people have gone, some are Elders, and some are Core Disciples, all watching and discussing this Holy Land Competition."

"Moreover, several rare Prodigies have emerged in this Holy Land Competition, and their talent and strength are both excellent."

This Holy Land Competition naturally attracted Hua Mengying as well; she had already gone to watch for several days.

Due to her inherent beauty, like a Heavenly Immortal, she naturally attracted a lot of attention.

This caused many people to stop watching the Holy Land Competition and instead directly watch Hua Mengying.

"There's nothing good to see, isn't it just a competition among Disciples?"

Fang Chen shook his head, completely indifferent.

Fang Chen was already tired of such competitions.

It was said to give all Disciples a chance to enter the inner sect, but in reality, this was Xiao Yunting's personal exhibition match.

No matter how brilliant a Prodigy was, they would become Xiao Yunting's stepping stone.

It was this event that fully brought Xiao Yunting into the view of countless Core Disciples and Elders.

Furthermore, after Xiao Yunting won the championship, he directly stated that he wanted to replace Fang Chen as the new Saint of Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

He then publicly announced his challenge to Fang Chen!

Naturally, Fang Chen could not tolerate this and directly accepted the challenge!

Of course, Fang Chen also had his own pride and did not want to bully Xiao Yunting with his Realm, so he directly suppressed his Realm to fight at the same Realm as Xiao Yunting.

As expected, Fang Chen lost, and he lost miserably!

At the same Realm, he was no match for Xiao Yunting, and it was this incident that caused Fang Chen's prestige in Cloud Heaven Holy Land to begin to decline.

At the same time, Xiao Yunting also established his authority within Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

Actually, this was very unreasonable; in the original work, Fang Chen's secret techniques and Physique were both stronger than Xiao Yunting's, and even in a battle at the same Realm, Xiao Yunting was no match for Fang Chen.

However, due to Fang Chen's arrogance in the original work, he completely looked down on Xiao Yunting, and his underestimation led to his defeat.

Of course!

The biggest reason was Xiao Yunting's Protagonist Halo.

When the protagonist forcefully acts cool, the supporting characters can only be mercilessly trampled underfoot, regardless of whether it makes sense.

When he first saw this plot, Fang Chen even cursed a few times; this part of the plot was simply too far-fetched.

If it were him, there would be no need to fight at the same Realm; directly using his oppressive aura to suppress the opponent would be enough to make Xiao Yunting unable to breathe, let alone fight afterwards.

There was clearly a better way, but the Fang Chen in the original work chose the worst method.

Besides, the Protagonist Halo was too dazzling, which also destined Fang Chen to lose.

Otherwise, without suppressing his Realm, he could directly suppress Xiao Yunting.

"Are you sure you're not going to watch?"

Hua Mengying's beautiful eyes swirled, blinking as if trying to see through Fang Chen's heart.

"Definitely not going, there's nothing good to see."

Fang Chen said without hesitation.

Watch what? He wanted to lie flat and slack off.

If he went, wouldn't his rewards for slacking off go to waste?

Since that's the case, why bother watching!

Of course, he also wanted to suppress Xiao Yunting.

However, he felt that the plot had changed, and since he was already at Enlightenment Realm Ninth Heaven, even if Xiao Yunting was stupid, he probably wouldn't actively seek trouble with him.

He used to be at the Sixth Realm, Emperor Realm, and now he is at the Seventh Realm, Enlightenment Realm Ninth Heaven.

No matter how foolish Xiao Yunting was, he wouldn't challenge him; that would be asking for trouble.

But it's hard to say, after all, in the original work, Xiao Yunting fought Fang Chen at the same Realm, and he would probably do the same later.

After all, if they were at the same Realm, Fang Chen wouldn't have such a big advantage, and Xiao Yunting could also gain a significant advantage.

However, even if the current Fang Chen fought at the same Realm, he could easily handle Xiao Yunting.

It's just that for the sake of the slacking-off rewards, Fang Chen was unwilling to do so.

Because doing so would bring him no benefits, and instead, it would give Xiao Yunting an opportunity to temper himself.

"Alright, since you're not going, then I'll go."

Hua Mengying, confirming that Fang Chen had no intention of going, said directly.

After several days of battles and passing through layers of selections, the Holy Land Competition finally reached its last day.

On this day, the top ten inner sect Disciples would be decided.

The entire Cloud Heaven Holy Land was extremely lively, especially with the emergence of Disciples like Xiao Yunting.

They pushed the atmosphere of the Holy Land Competition to a climax.

Not only were many Disciples excited, but the Elders of the Holy Land were also very much looking forward to it.

Even before the competition began, the area around the arena was already packed with people.

The scene was extremely lively, with countless Disciples scrambling to secure good spots.

"This Xiao Yunting is quite formidable. Not long ago, he was only at the Third Realm, Divine Sea Realm. A few months later, his cultivation reached the Fifth Realm, Divine Origin Realm. Moreover, few Disciples in the Holy Land are his match; he crushes his opponents in every battle. I wonder if he can take first place!"

"This Xiao Yunting is indeed a dark horse, but wanting to take first place is not that simple."

"Indeed, whether it's Senior Brother Xu Zhuo, or Dongfang You, who emerged like Xiao Yunting, their strength should not be underestimated. Especially Dongfang You, no one has been able to withstand a single move from him to this day!"

"That's right, barring any surprises, the first place in this competition will be decided among these three."

"I just wonder who will have the last laugh. I really want to see Xiao Yunting and Dongfang You, these two Prodigies who emerged out of nowhere, fight head-on and see who is stronger."

"I think Dongfang You is more powerful, after all, no one has been able to take a single move from him."

...

The discussions began even before the final day's competition started.

At this moment, the square was incredibly lively, filled with all sorts of sounds.

As time passed, the participating Disciples appeared one after another.

However, most of the Disciples did not look very good, because the only ones people were discussing were Xiao Yunting, Dongfang You, and Xu Zhuo; they seemed like mere backdrops.

They were extremely displeased in their hearts.

"Hmph, I'll let you know later that these three are not invincible, I will have the last laugh."

A Disciple thought, feeling displeased.

Undeniably, the performance of these three was outstanding, without a single flaw.

But this did not mean that they had no power to fight; ignoring them like this was completely disrespecting them.

"Xiao Yunting is here!"

Someone shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
