I alone am the Invincible One!
Chapter 320: Referee’s Conspiracy
Wang Yufan and the other eight drew lots. In the end, the slip of paper in Wang Yufan’s hand was blank, and Wang Yufan knew he was the one who would directly advance to the top three.
Little Zhuge, surprisingly, drew Yang Jue.
When the referee looked at Wang Yufan’s draw, his heart stirred slightly.
He had already promised Wang Gang that he would make Wang Yufan and Yang Jue face each other.
So, after everyone had drawn their lots, he unilaterally changed the rules of the competition.
When four people were determined from the two-on-two matches, there would be five people including Wang Yufan, and then a five-into-three match would be held.
According to the original competition rules, Wang Yufan would directly advance to the final of this round.
The remaining four would compete, and only the top two would be determined.
Wang Yufan looked at the referee and said nothing; however, the referee’s temporary change of rules made it clear to everyone else what was going on.
Their gazes lingered on Wang Yufan; they did not know when Wang Yufan had offended the referee.
The referee, seeing that Wang Yufan and the others remained silent, directly stated: "Good, it seems everyone has no objections.
Don’t think I’m doing this to target someone; this is also for the fairness of the competition.
So, you may begin now." As his voice fell, the sixth group’s competition officially began.
Wang Yufan stood by, observing the battles, a thoughtful expression on his face.
He was not only watching the competition in this area; battles in other areas were also in full swing.
During the competition, Wang Yufan saw that a few individuals indeed had excellent strength, and there were also some who had hidden their true power.
Among them, in Group Two, there was a young monk in a kasaya whom Wang Yufan paid particular attention to.
This person’s mastery of Buddhist dharma was profound, and according to Wang Yufan’s speculation, this person’s physique was also the Arhat Body from the Myriad Body List.
The martial arts he displayed were grand and sweeping, carrying the aura of a martial arts grandmaster.
In Group Eight, there was also a young man in a yellow robe whose aura had reached the peak of the Eternal Realm, but Wang Yufan knew this was not his full strength.
This person was Huang Yu, a figurehead of the Mingyue Empire.
During his travels in Bright Moon City these past few days, Wang Yufan had learned that the Emperor of the Mingyue Empire had ten sons, and his fifth son was this Huang Yu.
He was born with the blessing of Imperial Dragon Fortune.
Although he was not born of the empress, outsiders speculated that he was very likely to become the next Emperor of the Mingyue Empire.
The other princes were engrossed in schemes and intrigues, while Huang Yu had little interest in the throne, wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts.
Wang Yufan also saw that this person’s talent was not bad, but compared to himself, he was still a little lacking.
If he had not arrived in the Primordial Spirit Realm earlier, he might have already broken through beyond the so-called Yuanshi Realm, although this realm has always been a legend in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
But Wang Yufan believed this was not a legend, and he also recalled what he had seen in the Dragon Pearl Space in his consciousness.
That kind of terror, just one glance, made Wang Yufan feel despair.
Wang Yufan knew that things were not that simple.
As for Group Eleven, Wang Yufan saw a familiar figure: Wanru of the Ice Moon Sect.
Wang Yufan could feel that Wanru’s strength had significantly improved compared to a week ago.
Wang Yufan knew that he might have stimulated this woman.
Thinking of this, Wang Yufan felt a headache.
As the saying goes, women only affect a man’s speed.
Wang Yufan did not want to have any romantic entanglement with Wanru; he still had the pursuit of the Great Dao.
If she did not cling to him, some things could still proceed, he thought.
Wang Yufan thought to himself, wondering if he was a bit of a scoundrel, then shook his head, casting aside this wicked thought.
Meanwhile, Wanru, who was competing in Group Eleven, seemed to sense something, as if someone was looking in her direction.
She followed her intuition and looked over, instantly spotting Wang Yufan’s figure, though by then Wang Yufan had already turned his head away.
Upon seeing Wang Yufan’s figure, Wanru recalled the scene when Wang Yufan had kissed her, and the tips of her ears unconsciously turned red.
"Oh, little lady, why are your earlobes red?
Are you shy about fighting with this big brother?
Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle with you, as long as you take off your mask." At this moment, opposite Wanru, a lewd-looking man stared at Wanru, with whom he was fighting.
He knew this woman was definitely a beauty, her long legs subtly glimpsed, stirring his heart.
If he could take down the beautiful girl opposite him, he would definitely be satisfied.
Looking at the lecherous fellow opposite her, Wanru suddenly felt that Wang Yufan was much better.
"Shameless scoundrel, prepare to die!
I’ll gouge out your eyes so you can’t look around anymore!" Wanru finished speaking and directly thrust her sword towards the opponent.
Seeing Wanru’s attack, the person opposite her did not show any carelessness.
Although he was lustful, he had not lost himself for a woman.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Battle sounds echoed continuously throughout the vast martial arts arena.
At this moment, Emperor Huang Wuji, seated in the Imperial Family’s section, cupped his hands towards the special invitee section and said, "I wonder what you esteemed adults from the superior sects think?
Have there been any disciples in this competition that have interested you?"
Hearing Emperor Huang Wuji’s voice, Sima Chun of the Demon Shadow Divine Sect smiled and said, "At first, we didn’t see anyone particularly stunning, but three individuals have satisfied me: those in Group Two, Group Eight, and Group Eleven.
Also, a few individuals in Group Five and Group Seven seem decent; they all have good talent, and from my observation, their true strength has not been fully displayed."
Hearing Sima Chun’s voice, Emperor Huang Wuji also smiled slightly.
He knew that if his fifth son, Huang Yu, could enter one of these superior sects, it would be extraordinary.
Just after Sima Chun of the Demon Shadow Divine Sect finished speaking, Vice Sect Leader Zhang Dao of the Shanhe Sect cleared his throat and said, "Indeed, the contestants in the areas Sima brother mentioned are very good, in my opinion.
However, if I had to choose one among them, I think that little monk in Group Two looks very promising.
Our sect’s Third Elder happens to cultivate the Buddhist Way.
If this child could be taught by him, his future would certainly be limitless."
"Brother Zhang, your words are surprising.
I think that yellow-robed boy from Group Eight is also very good.
His moves are grand and sweeping, possessing an aura of righteousness.
Although our sect is the Demon Shadow Divine Sect, if I were to choose, I would choose him.
However, if I’m not mistaken, that person should be the child of the Mingyue Emperor, right?" Sima Chun of the Demon Shadow Divine Sect said, looking towards Emperor Huang Wuji.
