42: Successfully gave up and reached the level of Guixu!

Chapter 42: Successfully Lying Flat, Return to Ruins Realm Cultivation!

In her opinion, since Xiao Yunting was so confident and dared to challenge Fang Chen, he must have something extraordinary about him, some trump cards that could threaten Fang Chen. That’s why he dared to say such words.

Therefore, Hua Mengying didn't hold back from the start and directly unleashed her ultimate moves.

She just didn't expect Xiao Yunting to be so weak.

She originally thought Xiao Yunting could resist for a while, but she didn't expect him to fall so quickly.

Xiao Yunting fell to the ground, and the previously noisy square became quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Many Disciples stood stunned, looking at everything with surprised faces.

They clearly didn't expect it to turn out this way.

He was knocked unconscious with just one move; how could he be so fragile?

“I thought he had some strength, but he’s just a clown.”

“With such a low level, he still dares to challenge Saint Your Highness!”

Hua Mengying snorted coldly, then turned and left.

Xiao Yunting had been knocked unconscious and had already lost, so there was no need for her to stay.

This competition, which had attracted countless people's attention, ended in such a comical manner.

“This is completely self-humiliation. How can Saint Your Highness be replaced by them?”

Dongfang You had been holding back a belly full of anger, and naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity, directly mocking him.

The surrounding Disciples also reacted, and all sorts of unpleasant words emerged endlessly.

“I said long ago that this Xiao Yunting was a clown, and sure enough!”

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have left earlier. I thought I would witness an earth-shattering battle, but I didn't expect him to be instantly defeated by Celestial Maiden Hua!”

“Where did this guy get his confidence to dare to challenge the Saint and even say he would replace the Saint?”

“I thought another Prodigy would emerge, but instead, a clown appeared. If this matter spreads, what will become of our Holy Land's reputation?”

“Thankfully, this happened within our Holy Land. If it were elsewhere, it would be a disgrace to our Cloud Heaven Holy Land.”

The surrounding Disciples discussed animatedly.

If you have enough strength, no matter how much you show off, there will definitely be praise.

Your actions will also be interpreted as having a lot of personality.

But if you don't have strength, then it's not showing off, it's truly being a fool, just like Xiao Yunting now.

After a long while, Xiao Yunting slowly regained consciousness.

Suddenly remembering the competition, Xiao Yunting immediately climbed up, receiving countless taunts from the Disciples.

Hearing these taunts, Xiao Yunting's face turned pale, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

But he was powerless to refute, because he had indeed lost, and lost utterly.

This caused everything he had done to turn into nothingness.

Although he gained fame, it was infamous, and he became a clown in everyone's eyes.

“Alas, I reminded you earlier not to do that. Now you’ve overreached yourself, haven't you?”

“Someone of Cloud Heaven Saint’s status wouldn't even bother with you.”

Old Ming sighed.

He was both angry and helpless. He had long advised Xiao Yunting not to do that, but the other party simply wouldn't listen.

In Old Ming's view, even if Xiao Yunting won first place in the Holy Land Competition and became a True Disciple.

His status would still be vastly different from Cloud Heaven Saint's.

For someone of that level, they simply wouldn't pay attention to Xiao Yunting, because doing so would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

To be able to become the Saint of a major power, one is definitely not a brainless person, and certainly would not accept the challenge.

Because no matter whether they win or lose, it brings them no benefit, but rather causes trouble.

Even if they cleanly defeat their opponent, others wouldn't think much of it.

If they win with difficulty, then some would question the Saint's strength, thinking Xiao Yunting was very powerful.

If Xiao Yunting gained the upper hand, then it would be even more serious.

If he could win, then Saint Your Highness's prestige would be greatly affected.

More importantly, if Xiao Yunting could defeat Fang Chen again in the future, then it would be possible for him to replace Fang Chen as the Saint.

That was also Xiao Yunting's wishful thinking: to use this opportunity to step on Fang Chen, make a name for himself in Cloud Heaven Holy Land, and then enter the eyes of Cloud Heaven Holy Land's higher-ups, preparing for the next time he would defeat Fang Chen and replace him.

His idea was good. If Fang Chen accepted the challenge, half of his plan would succeed. If he could defeat him, he would achieve a great victory, not only raising his status in Cloud Heaven Holy Land but also obtaining many Cultivation resources.

It's just a pity that Fang Chen is not the lickspittle from the original story now; he wouldn't make a move because of these things, naturally causing Xiao Yunting's plan to fall through.

The most tragic part was the competition with Hua Mengying, where he was directly instantly killed by Hua Mengying.

This caused his perfectly planned show-off to be taken over by someone else, making him the clown instead.

Xiao Yunting took a deep breath, neither speaking nor paying attention to Old Ming.

Now he just wanted to be quiet, to escape this terrible place.

As Xiao Yunting left, Fifth Elder also announced the results.

Cloud Heaven Holy Land's annual Holy Land Competition thus came to an end.

Although the Holy Land Competition ended, Xiao Yunting's final actions would spread throughout the entire Holy Land.

He would become the laughingstock of the Holy Land.

Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully Lying Flat, gaining Return to Ruins Realm Cultivation!

Does the Host wish to accept this reward?

In Fang Chen's mind, the System's mechanical voice sounded.

Fang Chen, who was originally lying in the garden sunbathing, directly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing through them.

It seems the Holy Land Competition has ended.

In order to Lie Flat, Fang Chen hadn't paid attention to the Holy Land Competition, but he couldn't block out the loud sounds of the Holy Land Competition, which almost spread throughout the entire Cloud Heaven Holy Land, causing him to still know some things.

“Hua Mengying actually instantly killed Xiao Yunting within the same Realm. It seems Hua Mengying was quite ruthless and didn't give Xiao Yunting any chance, not even a chance to use his secret technique.”

Although he wasn't on site, Fang Chen could roughly infer some things.

After the baptism of the yin yang divine water, Hua Mengying's overall improvements were significant.

Especially Moonlight Hall's secret technique, it allowed Hua Mengying to enter a higher Realm and master supreme Divine Ability.

Moonlight Hall's secret technique is actually not weak, only second to Emperor-Grade Cultivation Technique.

Moonlight Hall's secret technique is a Divine Soul technique, possessing an extremely powerful Divine Soul.

If the opponent's Divine Soul is not strong enough, it is very difficult to resist it.

If the opponent's Divine Soul is strong enough to resist the influence of Moonlight Hall's secret technique, then dealing with these Disciples of Moonlight Hall becomes much easier.

Hua Mengying had the baptism of yin yang divine water, plus Fang Chen gave her the Nine Profound Soul Seal, so the Soul Power she unleashed was unimaginable.

Unless one has a Saint-Grade Magical Artifact that protects the Divine Soul, or one's own Divine Soul is strong enough, it is very difficult to resist Hua Mengying's Divine Soul attack.

Xiao Yunting naturally did not have a Saint-Grade Magical Artifact to protect his Divine Soul, and he didn't understand Hua Mengying, not knowing she had undergone such a great change. Naturally, he didn't use his secret technique immediately and was instantly killed by Hua Mengying.

Even if he had used his secret technique in advance, he probably would have found it difficult to parry Hua Mengying's attack.

Of course, if he had done that, Xiao Yunting wouldn't have been unable to even take one move and directly fainted.

“Since that's the case, then accept it.”

Fang Chen took a deep breath and directly chose this reward.
