The disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect had all gathered together. This competition was extremely important. Many of them hoped to make a name for themselves through it. Their daily cultivation had been painstaking and far from easy. After all, everyone's cultivation talent was limited; not everyone could become a powerhouse. For the weak to rise, they could only keep putting in effort. Only then would they have a chance to surpass others.

Yun Shenwei opened the All Heavens Mall and used his Resentment Value to exchange for a Dou Qi Motorcycle.

"Dou Qi Motorcycle: no consumption, suitable for long-term use. A means of transportation with speed equivalent to a Dou Ling. Price: 500 All Heavens Coin Note: 1 All Heavens Coin = 1 Resentment Value"

"Mm, you'll do!"

Yun Shenwei found the Dou Qi Motorcycle quite good and immediately took it for a ride. Racing along at breakneck speed, the feeling was incredibly exhilarating.

"My heavens, Senior Brother is riding such a strange thing."

"That's so cool! How did Senior Brother even get all this stuff?"

"I heard Senior Brother was guided by some great senior when he was young. Could this have been a gift from that senior?"

The Misty Cloud Sect disciples watched their Senior Brother pass by, each of them staring in amazement with reverence in their eyes. In their hearts, Senior Brother had always been an upright person filled with sunny, positive energy.

"Senior Brother, wait for us!"

Yun Shenwei was riding the Dou Qi Motorcycle and preparing to meet Nalan Yanran when he suddenly heard familiar voices behind him.

He looked through the rearview mirror and saw Xin Daorong and Niu Xuante.

"What do you two want?"

Yun Shenwei stopped the vehicle and casually asked.

"Senior Brother, we know you're determined to win the championship this time, and we also know that the others don't like you at all. So the two of us decided to help build momentum for you. We can't let those people look down on you."

"That's right, that's right. Senior Brother, your status is especially high now, and you represent all of us. If we keep too low a profile this time, those guys will definitely look down on you. Besides, this concerns all of our pride. Building momentum for you is the same as building momentum for our Misty Cloud Sect."

Niu Xuante and Xin Daorong spoke one after the other.

"Since that's the case, fine. But the way you two are dressed really isn't enough. How about this? I'll change your clothes and get you some equipment. Make a big deal out of this for me. If you do well, after the competition ends, I'll give you some of my rewards."

After giving it some thought, Yun Shenwei felt that the two of them made sense. An idea then came to him. He felt it was necessary to use this opportunity to gain more exposure. More importantly, if he could improve his reputation, he would have more opportunities to gain Resentment Value later on.

Yun Shenwei brought the two of them to an empty corner and exchanged for some items in the All Heavens Mall. Of course, the main point of these things was that they looked flashy enough to intimidate people.

In no time at all, Xin Daorong and Niu Xuante's clothes had completely changed. At that moment, both of them were wearing suits from Blue Planet, along with sunglasses and ties.

Not only that, Xin Daorong now held a black cane in his hand. Combined with his fat body, he looked extremely comical.

Niu Xuante was no less imposing. Under Yun Shenwei's arrangements, he also got an especially domineering motorcycle.

"Alright, this is how you two will dress for now. Also, hand out all the promotional posters I gave you. Remember, when you build momentum for me, make sure to put up banners. And you'd better know how to use the loudspeakers I gave you. If you mess this up, be careful or I'll beat you up."

Yun Shenwei warned them once more before leaving.

Niu Xuante and Xin Daorong were also extremely excited. To come across such a good opportunity, they had already begun imagining their bright futures. In their eyes, Senior Brother was the person most worth currying favor with. As for those young disciples from other families, what did they amount to? They were nothing more than a bunch of clowns seeking attention.

Misty Cloud Sect Martial Arts Arena.

At that moment, the major elders and the elders from other families had also arrived. Their statuses were distinguished, so their seats had all been carefully arranged.

As for the ordinary disciples, their areas were rather average. Of course, the venue had also specially prepared rest areas for disciples with outstanding strength. After all, not everyone could receive the same treatment. The strong deserved certain privileges.

"I have heard that your sect's younger generation has a young genius named Yun Shenwei. I wonder which one he is?"

The elder leading the Mo Family delegation asked with a smile. Though he appeared amiable on the surface, his heart was filled with sinister schemes.

"Deacon Mo Cheng, there is no need to rush. Our younger disciples have not all arrived yet. Once the competition officially begins, I believe you will see him."

First Elder Yun Ling replied with a smile. He was quite satisfied with the Misty Cloud Sect's Senior Brother of the younger generation.

"Oh, then we would also like to have a look. I hope he truly has some skill. The boy from my family loves challenging the strong the most."

Another family elder spoke up. This year, he had brought the younger members of his family here for the sake of making a name for themselves and gaining renown.

The people from the other major families also discussed matters among themselves. Most of them had their own businesses outside, but most importantly, they were still subordinate to the Misty Cloud Sect. Therefore, every year, they brought their family's younger generation to participate in the Disciple Competition.

If the younger members of their families performed well, they would be admitted as exceptions and enjoy excellent prospects within the sect. This would also greatly elevate their families. That was why, despite their family disciples not having performed particularly well in the martial competitions over the years, they still eagerly came every year.

More and more people arrived, and when the time was nearly up, Sect Leader Yun Yun grew anxious.

"First Elder, why haven't Yanran and Shenwei arrived yet?"

Yun Yun anxiously asked. She wanted to announce the start of the competition, but her precious disciple and the Senior Brother of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples had yet to arrive. It was clearly inappropriate to begin so rashly.

"This... I shall send someone to urge them."

First Elder Yun Ling was rather embarrassed. Just as he was about to urge some of the younger elders nearby, the roar of an engine suddenly came from the arena.

Everyone turned to look and saw a young man riding a strange mount, arriving with an absolutely beautiful young woman.
