If You're Going to Show Off, Go All the Way

"Have you heard? Senior Brother defeated Mo Wu, the Mo Family genius, with just one punch and one kick. That was insanely awesome!"

"Huh? Really? Isn't Senior Brother only a One-Star Dou Zhe? Mo Wu's cultivation is far beyond that. How did Senior Brother do it? Tell me all about it..."

Yun Shenwei's defeat of Mo Wu caused quite a stir within the Misty Cloud Sect. Countless disciples gathered in small groups to discuss the matter.

As for Yun Shenwei himself, he could not be bothered with what others said. At that moment, he was taking Nalan Yanran around to relax and have some fun.

In the blink of an eye, only three days remained until the Misty Cloud Sect's Disciple Competition.

As the hosts, Yun Shenwei and the other disciples had decorated the Misty Cloud Sect at the elders' request. They could not let those affiliated forces laugh at them.

More and more families affiliated with the Misty Cloud Sect arrived over the next few days. Most were led by family elders and brought several talented young men and women from their clans.

Because of those families' arrival, the previously quiet Misty Cloud Sect became lively. From time to time, sparring matches broke out between members of those families and Misty Cloud Sect disciples. Of course, so long as things did not go too far, the elders could not be bothered to interfere.

"Stinky little brother, I heard you made Mo Wu, the Mo Family genius, kneel a few days ago?"

On a mountain peak in the Misty Cloud Sect's Back Mountain, Yun Yun asked.

With the Disciple Competition approaching, as the sect master, she naturally needed to understand the situation of her sect's geniuses.

"Oh, you heard about that too? Sigh, it's nothing much. Just a few stray cats and dogs—not worth mentioning."

Yun Shenwei casually replied as he looked down at the misty clouds below.

"That's good, but your sister still needs to remind you that Gu Ming from Pill King Gu He's family is no ordinary opponent. You must be careful."

Yun Yun did not mind the young man's attitude. Instead, she reminded him with concern.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Yun Shenwei nodded and said, "After this competition ends, I hope Sect Master can send someone to take Nalan Yanran and me to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement."

His gaze remained fixed on Yun Yun. Breaking off an engagement was no minor matter. It was clearly inappropriate for Yun Shenwei and Nalan Yanran, two juniors, to do it themselves. An elder of the Misty Cloud Sect or someone of even higher standing had to lead them.

"Mm. Since your sister agreed before, I won't deceive you or Yanran. However, after the competition, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I cannot take you there personally. I'll have Deacon Ge Ye accompany you instead. As for the Nalan Family, I'll have the Second Elder make a trip on your behalf and act as a mediator."

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Sister, you're not going to the Monster Mountain Range, are you?"

Feeling that something was off, Yun Shenwei asked instinctively.

"Mm, how did you guess? Could it be that you're a worm in your sister's belly?"

Yun Yun stepped forward, rubbed the young man's face, and asked with a smile.

"This..."

Yun Shenwei did not know how to respond. Countless thoughts raced through his mind.

He remembered that in the original story, Yun Yun first appeared in the Monster Mountain Range. Yet the current situation seemed different from the original timeline. Could his appearance have caused a butterfly effect?

That should not be possible, right?

What exactly was going on? Yun Shenwei thought about it for a long time but still could not figure it out. In the end, he simply made a decision. "Sister, you can't go to the Monster Mountain Range. There's an Amethyst Winged Lion King inside that is skilled in sealing techniques. Even a Dou Zong could be sealed if they were careless, and once sealed, it would take at least half a month to break free!"

Without giving Yun Yun a chance to question him, Yun Shenwei continued, "The senior who gave me the Heavenly Flames once said that there is also a Joyous Union Ape in the Monster Mountain Range. It likes young and beautiful female cultivators like you best. If you were accidentally sealed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, that Joyous Union Ape would definitely come looking for you, hehe..."

As Yun Shenwei spoke, his tone gradually changed.

"Alright, we'll do as you say."

Yun Yun thought for a long time before finally agreeing to the young man's request.

At the same time, in a quiet area of the Misty Cloud Sect, Pill King Gu He was speaking with a handsome young man.

The young man was tall and bore some resemblance to Gu He. He was the Gu Family's genius, Gu Ming.

"Uncle needn't worry. Over the years, I've defeated no fewer than twenty people like him."

Gu Ming crossed his arms, looking utterly confident.

"Mm, of course I know your strength. It's just that this fellow possesses a special Heavenly Flame, so you must be careful."

Pill King Gu He continued, "Before the competition, I'll join the elders of the other families in applying to change the rules. If we succeed, that brat won't be able to use his Heavenly Flame. That will greatly increase your chances of victory."

After thinking it over, Gu He discussed the matter with Gu Ming for quite some time...

Elsewhere, in the Mo Family's temporary residence within the Misty Cloud Sect.

The Mo Family elders were busy conducting final checks on their juniors.

"Wu'er, how is that transplanted Demonic Ape Arm?"

Inside the room, a sinister elder asked.

"It's very powerful. With the Demonic Ape Arm, I'm certain I can make the top three in this competition!"

Mo Wu twisted his arm. At that moment, he looked nothing like a normal human. His entire body exuded the aura of a magical beast, while his right arm was incomparably grotesque. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly transplanted from some powerful magical beast!

Beside him stood another young man. His legs resembled those of a lizard, and scales had grown over his arms, making him look terrifying.

"This time, even the Misty Cloud Sect's most gifted disciples won't be able to stop us!"

The young man said coldly. As he spoke, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes—something no human eyes should possess!...

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Gongs and drums resounded throughout the Misty Cloud Sect, filling the place with excitement. Everywhere, young disciples wore eager expressions. After all, today was the Misty Cloud Sect's annual Disciple Competition. It could be called a grand occasion for the sect's disciples.

The many disciples headed toward the martial arena in an orderly fashion. Along the way, there were quite a few people dressed in all manner of clothing. They were clearly the children of aristocratic families affiliated with the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Shenwei woke up early in the morning. Listening to the festive sounds of gongs and drums outside, his heart was filled with excitement.

Thus, he changed into a Zhongshan suit exchanged from the All Heavens Mall, admired himself in the mirror for a while, and did not forget to put on sunglasses before leaving.

Today, I have to look stylish and let the people from those affiliated families see how impressive I am.

After giving it some thought, Yun Shenwei felt that wearing a fancy outfit alone was not enough. If he was going to show off, he had to go all the way and leave those affiliated families utterly stunned! He still had plenty of Resentment Value left unused, so he could take this opportunity to exchange it for some show-off props from the All Heavens Mall.

Struck by an idea, he opened the All Heavens Mall.
