Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 444 - 164: So, I Can’t Be with You, as It Would Harm You
Wang Mu felt he had not yet had his fill of excitement.
But these Heavenly Prides clearly did not want to continue fighting.
Sensorially, Wang Mu could still sense that these Heavenly Prides definitely possessed considerable fighting strength. This was particularly true for those he had faced earlier; despite having used their trump cards, they clearly had many more tricks up their sleeves.
Obviously, for the subsequent Heavenly Pride Battle, they didn’t really want to face him alone anymore.
The Heavenly Pride Battle wasn’t just about him, the top-ranked contestant.
What a pity...
Wang Mu felt his blood had just started boiling, and now it was over.
He felt he still had some techniques he hadn’t used and hadn’t fully enjoyed the battle, even after unleashing the Mountain and Sea True Intent.
Moreover, perhaps out of consideration for his identity as Mo Xilan, these Heavenly Prides were also reluctant to give their all.
Next time I attend such a grand event, I’ll need to change my identity.
Wang Mu thought deeply. Otherwise, all my strenuous cultivation would be for naught, its full potential unrealized.
I too crave a thoroughly exhilarating battle.
Wang Mu sighed deeply in his heart.
Stepping down from the platform, his expression was somewhat melancholic.
The other cultivators all looked at him as if he were a monster.
The expressions of the cultivators on the Heavenly Pride Rank twitched. Recalling the previous scenes, they found themselves completely devoid of any will to fight.
Especially the fight with Chen Huang; it had horrified many of the Heavenly Prides.
Chen Huang was a prominent young representative of Body Cultivation, considered near the apex of his generation. It was almost unheard of for anyone to hold an absolute advantage against him in a one-on-one Body Cultivation fight, let alone crush him with a single palm.
So, it turns out this seemingly Golden Core Realm cultivator is actually a practitioner of Body Cultivation comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage, huh? many thought.
Heard this guy has only been cultivating for a few years... Hmph. Such talent is already beyond extraordinary.
Recalling the instructions from the Dan King Sect’s Ancestor, countless Heavenly Prides fell silent and speechless, a subtle understanding dawning upon them.
Especially the few like Dao Xuan.
「After they stepped down.」
"Why do I feel like I’ve become his whetstone, his mere instrument?" Yu Tianshu frowned and said. "That Ancestor knew full well how formidable her Taoist couple was, yet she still had us challenge him one by one. Of course, I know that even if the Ancestor hadn’t said anything, we would definitely have challenged a top-ranked Golden Core Realm cultivator anyway."
"But if she hadn’t said anything, at most after I went up, the rest of you would definitely have followed. How could we suffer such a huge loss?"
Chen Huang said from the side, "Is it possible that we’re just too weak?"
The others were speechless.
"Or, maybe that Ancestor also didn’t know her fated couple was so powerful?"
Then, Yu Tianshu looked at Dao Xuan, saying, "Dao Xuan, you analyzed so much earlier. Why aren’t you speaking now?"
Dao Xuan remained quiet.
"Won’t you say something?"
"How could a Nascent Soul Cultivator like me possibly comprehend the thoughts of an Ascension Realm master?" Dao Xuan said. "Aren’t you overestimating me?"
Yu Tianshu was left speechless. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Mo Yuan, why the hell didn’t you go up?" Yu Tianshu looked at the last person and accused. "We agreed earlier that if I lost, all of you had to go up. Maybe Wang Mu would have run out of tricks after fighting Chen Huang. Why didn’t you go up to exploit a potential opening?"
"My stomach hurts; I’m not feeling well," Mo Yuan said.
Everyone was speechless.
Go up? Are you kidding me? Mo Yuan from the Realm King Sect thought. Judging by how Chen Huang was instantly defeated, taking me down would be child’s play for him. Forget about him running out of tricks! Back when he fought Yu Tianshu, didn’t everyone think he was out of moves then too? Better to keep a card up my sleeve.
"So, what do you plan to do?" Yu Tianshu looked at Mo Yuan, extremely annoyed, his expression clearly saying, *You disloyal jerk.*
"Yu Tianshu, I want to challenge you," Mo Yuan said.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
You sly dog, Mo Yuan! So you were waiting for this, huh?
Their expressions changed in unison.
At this moment, Yu Tianshu’s Panhu Mechanism Beast had been dismantled by Wang Mu using twelve Flying Swords and the Qiankun Sword. It was temporarily out of commission, significantly weakening Yu Tianshu’s capabilities, making it the perfect time for Mo Yuan to exploit his vulnerability.
"Sigh..." Dao Xuan shook his head. "You lot, and those others, are truly a disappointment. We failed to knock Wang Mu off the top spot, truly missing out on a great opportunity."
"If any of us had taken the top rank, we would have definitely received guidance from that Ancestor during the upcoming Ancient and Modern Discourse..."
"Now there’s no chance."
"However, based on my deduction," Dao Xuan continued, "Wang Mu’s momentum is now formidable. It’s only a matter of time before his name resounds throughout the Nine Provinces, and the Sword Sect will undoubtedly gain significant renown as well. During the Ancient and Modern Discourse, he will surely face deliberate challenges from that Ancestor, aimed at curtailing his rising influence."
"That said, for someone with Golden Core Realm cultivation to be the Taoist couple of an Ascension Realm Ancestor, and to be able to defeat us, isn’t entirely incomprehensible."
"After all, compared to becoming her Taoist couple, defeating us is indeed several degrees less difficult."
"Even if one is merely being used as a pawn, not everyone possesses the qualifications for such a role..."
"Sigh..."
Dao Xuan emitted a light sigh.
「Elsewhere.」
Seeing Wang Mu return, Master Cheng looked at him with a complex expression.
The many disciples of the Sword Sect also looked at Wang Mu with complex expressions.
"This strength of yours..." Master Cheng sighed deeply. "It has increased too rapidly. Having that Ascension Realm Ancestor as your Taoist couple truly is..."
Wang Mu was puzzled.
What does he mean? Does he think all my strength is due to her?
Wang Mu denied, "Master Cheng, my strength has little to do with that Ascension Realm Ancestor from the Dan King Sect..."
"Really?" Master Cheng was skeptical.
