Mo Yao!
When the name was uttered by the elder referee, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.
For no other reason than that this Mo Yao is one of the Ten Saints of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven, ranked fifth, with formidable strength, and is known as Battle Maniac.
In the previous round of the competition, he ranked eighth.
He is a top-tier prodigy who has truly broken into the top ten.
Many people couldn't help but feel worried for Duan Nianwei, shaking their heads in disbelief.
If Qu Youmeng were here, this match might be somewhat interesting, but now she's facing Duan Nianwei from the Primordial Holy Heaven!
Another student who is not one of the Ten Saints.
It's already a miracle that the Primordial Holy Heaven produced one Qu Youmeng; could it possibly produce a second one?
This match is probably already decided without any suspense at all.
" Mo Yao and Gao Fu are not on the same level. Putting aside everything else, Mo Yao's cultivation has already broken through to the Thearch Realm. How could Duan Nianwei, an unknown nobody, possibly defeat him?"
In the Primordial Holy Heaven, Duan Nianwei was Sword Fairy.
However, apart from the Primordial Holy Heaven, who else knew her name?
She was young and hadn't achieved anything significant. Now that she was being looked down upon, the students of Primordial Holy Heaven were both angry and resentful, but in the end, they could only feel powerless.
after all...
That's the fifth of the Ten Saints of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven!
Qu Youmeng joined Primordial Holy Heaven midway through her studies. It hasn't been long since she entered the academy, and the students of Primordial Holy Heaven don't know her at all, nor do they know her true strength.
Her ability to defeat Gao Fu left everyone stunned.
After all, he is Dean Lin's disciple.
That's how it should be.
But Duan Nianwei was different.
She has been a student of Primordial Holy Heaven since the beginning and has always been known as the Sword Fairy. Everyone knows that she specializes in Sword Dao in the academy, but she is young, not yet twenty years old. She can only be described as a prodigy, but her strength is not strong enough. In the Ten Institutes Grand Competition, which allows all students to participate, she is really at a disadvantage.
Many students of the Primordial Holy Heaven had gone on missions with Sword Fairy Duan Nianwei and were well aware of her strength.
Although it seems like Duan Nianwei hasn't taken on any missions for a while, even if she used this time to study, how much progress could she possibly make?
It's only been about a year.
Even an immortal wouldn't have the power to make any changes.
The students of Primordial Holy Heaven were all pessimistic, and those in the other Holy Heaven who didn't know Duan Nianwei were even less optimistic about her.
Mo Yao is no nobody.
"Moreover, I've heard that Mo Yao's cultivation Cultivation Method is too intense and brutal, and every time he strikes, he almost always cripples his opponent. Even demons wouldn't fare well in his hands, which is why he's known as the ' Battle Maniac.'"
"If that's the case, wouldn't that little beauty, Primordial Holy Heaven, be in danger?"
"More than that... If I were her, I would just admit defeat to avoid being humiliated for no reason."
On the arena, Mo Yao wore an extremely colorful pale green robe, her eyes slanted upwards at the corners, carrying a cunning smile like a fox.
If one didn't know he was Battle Maniac, and only looked at his appearance and demeanor, one would definitely be misled and mistakenly think he was a kind-hearted person.
But though he appeared to be smiling, his eyes held only coldness and utter impatience.
Seeing Duan Nianwei walking up with her sword, Mo Yao didn't take her seriously at all. She just twisted her wrist slightly and spoke with a hint of annoyance.
"I'm short on patience today, but I don't want to start a bloodbath either. If you know what's good for you, you can just admit defeat."
"This is my advice to you, and it's for your own good."
These words sounded arrogant, but those familiar with Mo Yao below the arena all showed surprise in their eyes.
Some people were even whispering among themselves.
Why is Mo Yao being so gentle today?
"Yeah... this madman didn't just come at me and start a fight, nor did he kill anyone. He's too gentle; I'm not used to it."
"Is it necessary to be so lenient with the trash of the Primordial Holy Heaven?"
The Holy Heaven people around, who were also confused, all opened their mouths with complicated expressions, but in the end, they said nothing.
They really didn't know what to say.
Telling someone to admit defeat right away, is that what you call gentleness?
Those from the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven are all madmen; their reputation is truly well-deserved.
Mo Yao, however, felt that although she was in a bad mood today, she had indeed been lenient enough.
This is only because of the female cultivator's appearance.
Otherwise, if it were a male cultivator, he wouldn't care about the rule against killing in the arena.
So be it. If the elder judge can stop him, that's the elder judge's business. He would never restrain himself or do anything that would wrong him.
However...
He has a good idea.
Considering that Duan Nianwei's appearance was quite to his liking, he decided to let her off the hook.
However, they didn't consider Duan Nianwei would appreciate it.
Or, for him, it was no wonder that Duan Nianwei was so grateful, let alone grateful.
He was unusually kind and gentle today.
Across the arena, Duan Nianwei calmly shook her head.
She didn't say anything, but simply drew her sword, pointing the tip at Mo Yao to show her stance.
If it's war, then let's fight!
Why waste time on such nonsense?
All those years of arduous training, wasn't it all for this day?
Just now, her senior sister's One Sword had truly amazed her, and even now, as it was her turn, she still couldn't forget it.
She wanted others to know that, as a fellow disciple of her master, she was absolutely no less capable!
Moreover...
As a sword cultivator, possessing an indomitable spirit, how could I admit defeat and retreat?
This goes against her Sword Dao.
Let alone the fact that the opponent is Thearch Realm, or someone who was among the top ten in the previous competition, even if it were Great Emperor, she would never admit defeat as long as there was even the slightest chance of victory!
Looking at the sword tip pointed at him, Mo Yao immediately laughed in anger.
"Okay, okay!"
His cold eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a few blood vessels appeared, a sign that the internal Cultivation Method within him was out of control and about to unleash a massacre.
As he said.
He was in a really bad mood today.
Moreover, in his view, he had given Duan Nianwei a chance to admit defeat. Such leniency would have made anyone else kneel down in gratitude for his great kindness.
But Duan Nianwei was so ungrateful.
It's simply...
"Court death!!"
Almost immediately after Mo Yao's cold shout, his figure shot out like a sharp sword, unleashing a violent and fierce Cultivation Method in an instant. In that instant, he almost drained all the Spiritual Power on the entire arena, crushing towards Duan Nianwei.
Its momentum was overwhelming and difficult to resist, even causing others below the arena to squint.
Almost everyone who felt this aura couldn't help but feel their scalp tingle and keep clicking their tongues in amazement.
"What terrifying methods... They can affect us even outside the arena."
"Hiss... As expected of the fifth-ranked cultivator in the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven, his methods and aura are simply terrifying. He's on a completely different level from the previous cultivators."
"That little girl from the Primordial Holy Heaven is doomed!"
