Taking a deep breath and looking away from the competition, Dongfang Muxue clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down.
Now that things have come to this, what is there left to understand?
She, or rather everyone in the princess's residence, was completely deceived.
The prodigies under the Eldest Imperial Prince's command have always been hiding their true abilities.
Today, what they showed on the Mansion Competition was their true strength!
If that's the case...
If that's the case!
Dongfang Muxue gritted her teeth in resentment.
This time, the Mansion Competition is really going to be a disaster.
Judging from the current situation, her people are probably no match for the prodigies on the Eldest Imperial Prince's side.
But faced with this predicament, Dongfang Muxue knew very well that there was nothing she could do.
The actual outcome was exactly as Dongfang Muxue had imagined.
With a cold face and solemn expression, she tried her best not to let anyone see the despair in her heart, watching helplessly as her prodigies were called up one by one to face off against the prodigies under the Eldest Imperial Prince, and one by one they lost the match.
One after another.
They won not a single game.
She sat like a withered tree beneath the arena, staring intently at the Eldest Imperial Prince, her resentment growing ever stronger.
After several rounds, all she gained was endless sarcastic and bitter mockery and ridicule.
But ironically, even when they are insulted and ridiculed, they cannot fight back.
Although the Taiyu Divine Dynasty operates under a divine dynasty system, it still adheres to the principle of the strong ruling over the weak.
The gap in strength is obvious.
If you're not as skilled as others, no amount of talking will help.
"Match 9, Ji Yanbai the Kaiyang Prince's Mansion's Mansion versus..."
The ninth match.
Ji Yanbai remained calm, raising his eyes to look at the stage. There was no fear in his eyes, only fighting spirit and determination.
Looking at him, those under the Princess's control felt a glimmer of hope.
After emerging from the secret realm, Ji Yanbai went into seclusion to stabilize his cultivation level, and has now officially broken through to the Saint Realm.
Saint Realm...
It's safe to say that Ji Yanbai is already the strongest on their side!
It is also our last hope.
If even Ji Yanbai loses...
The thought of this terrible possibility filled everyone in the princess's residence with a sense of despair, and they instinctively banished such thoughts from their minds.
No way!
Ji Yanbai cannot lose, nor can she afford to lose.
He must win.
Moreover, it's not just about winning this match; he needs to win every single one after it. Otherwise, after him, there will be no one from the Princess's residence left to compete.
Once no one can take the stage, the Mansion Competition will immediately end, and the Princess's residence will undoubtedly be the biggest loser.
So far, Wan Hao has also been defeated.
Just then, the referee finally completed the list of names to be called.
"... Fighting against Xue Heng of the Northern Dipper Prince's Mansion!"
In an instant, everyone's expression changed.
A solemn expression appeared on everyone's face, and almost instinctively, everyone looked at the young man in brown robes with his eyes closed beside the Eldest Imperial Prince.
As the names were called out, he opened his eyes, his gaze calm and serene, and looked at Ji Yanbai, a slight smile playing on his lips.
It looked incredibly boring and dull.
But no one could say anything about his behavior.
After all, this is Xue Yan!
The most outstanding prodigy under the Eldest Imperial Prince has recently risen to prominence, stepping into the Saint Realm in one fell swoop, suppressing countless geniuses, and appearing in the sight of the people of the Divine Dynasty with invincible momentum.
Although Ji Yanbai had also broken through to the Saint Realm, the outcome of his match against him was still uncertain.
However, even so, Ji Yanbai did not back down from the fight.
He stared coldly at Xue Yan, showing no anger despite the other's contempt, and calmly stepped onto the arena.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, he released his aura without hesitation, revealing his level of mastery!
The oppressive aura of the Saint Realm spread out like a tidal wave, surging in all directions.
Many people were taken aback.
Those in the princess's residence, in particular, sensed Ji Yanbai's presence, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
So strong!
As expected of Ji Yanbai!
He was already a renowned prodigy, and now that he has entered the Saint Realm, everyone who sees him will surely say that he has a bright future ahead of him.
Just look at the feeling of that aura...
Perhaps, he really could put up a fight with Ji Yanbai!
Ji Yanbai also looked very confident.
Like everyone else, although he also felt some respect for Xue Yan, he was clearly full of self-confidence.
after all...
The Saint Art he comprehended in that secret realm were extremely powerful. Now, having broken through to the Saint Realm, he felt as if he had stepped into another world.
What about Xue Heng?
He wouldn't be a match for me either!
The profound secrets of the Dark Orchid Secret Realm are beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
pity...
Looking towards Lin Xuan below the stage, Ji Yanbai couldn't help but glance at him, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Dugu Yun never entered the secret realm.
Otherwise, with Dugu Yun's talent and strength, he might have been able to enter the Saint Realm as well, giving the Princess's Mansion another trump card.
I wonder what the princess is thinking...
A faint sense of regret crossed his mind, but it quickly dissipated. He focused his attention on Xue Yan before him and smiled slightly.
However, none of that matters anymore.
The Mansion Competition is the battlefield for the young prodigies of the Divine Dynasty, and very few can reach the Saint Realm.
He was confident he could defeat everyone, including Xue Heng!
Unlike Xue Yan, Ji Yanbai, who couldn't wait to unleash his aura as soon as he stepped onto the stage, stood on the platform.
He even yawned lazily.
Whether it was his appearance or his aura, everything about him seemed too ordinary.
So unremarkable that it makes one wonder if the extraordinary talent touted by outsiders is truly genuine.
Ji Yanbai looked at the other person, and the same thought flashed through his mind.
Looking at the slender Xue Yan, he couldn't help but think that the other party... didn't seem as formidable as the legends suggested.
Composing himself, Ji Yanbai exhaled a sigh of relief and said, " Xue Yan, I've heard so much about you."
"Everyone says you're strong, but now it seems you're nothing special. You just entered the Saint Realm a few months earlier than me..."
I will win this match.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yanbai vanished from his spot and charged towards Xue Yan.
His aura was imposing, accompanied by a fierce vortex of Spiritual Power like a raging storm, as if he were about to topple the heavens. He had unleashed a killing move the moment he made his move.
The princess's residence has been losing for far too long.
Ji Yanbai was eager to get revenge.
Nothing is more inspiring than ending a battle swiftly, decisively, and effectively!
but...
He might win if he were facing someone else.
The Eldest Imperial Prince thought casually to himself, then slowly curled his lips into a smile, looked at Dongfang Muxue not far away, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You lost."
Dongfang Muxue's heart tightened, and before she could say anything, she saw Xue Yan move on the arena.
The young man in the brown robe resembled a withered tree, but when the murderous intent struck, he suddenly radiated a vibrant life force.
I didn't see him do anything.
He casually walked around as if taking a leisurely stroll, and instantly appeared behind Ji Yanbai, bending his elbow and delivering a sudden, heavy blow.
The terrifying force shattered the opponent's barely formed Saint Domain, and the entire arena seemed to sink heavily as if governed by some kind of Principle.
That was the prototype of the Principle of Force, and also Xue Yan's Saint Domain!
This blow slammed Ji Yanbai, who was still basking in the glory of his impending fame, into the ring.
Then, he hooked his toes slightly, hooked Ji Yanbai's body, and kicked him straight out of the field!
The entire process took only... one breath!
The moment Ji Yanbai landed, Xue Yan straightened up, casually stretched, and smirked as he looked at the figure on the ground.
That's it?
The entire room fell silent.
