Bai Gongyu, as if blessed with the aura of a protagonist, stepped onto the arena, and instantaneously, excitement erupted from below...
Bai Gong Qianye had just dueled in the first match, and now, in the second match, it was Bai Gongyu's turn -- such an occurrence had never happened before!
Without a doubt, the faces of the male disciples below all turned excited and thrilled, loudly calling out, "Feather Junior Sister! Feather Junior Sister!!"
"My heavens, what exactly is going on with the Clan's grand competition this time? First, Shallow Night Senior Brother fights the opening match, and then Feather Junior Sister fights the second!"
"Silly, this is to stir up everyone's enthusiasm, don't you know how popular Shallow Night Senior Brother and Feather Junior Sister are among us disciples?"
"Feather Junior Sister is breathtakingly beautiful! If I could be her partner for just a minute, it would be worth it!"
"Go, Feather Junior Sister! Go, Feather Junior Sister!!"
Compared to the terrifying support for Bai Gongyu, her opponent Bai Gong Fenglin was in a dire state, completely devoid of any backers!
The pressure he felt deep down was indescribable!
Fenglin could only force a wry smile as he looked at Bai Gongyu across from him and said, "Feather Junior Sister, you really are immensely popular; I don't even feel like fighting anymore."
Although he was her senior, it was only in age -- Bai Gongyu was far stronger than him, even though he was at the First Layer of Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
Bai Gongyu blinked her Beautiful Eyes at him a few times and said softly, "Senior Brother is being modest. This is just a friendly sparring; there are naturally wins and losses."
Bai Gong Fenglin was stunned for a moment, "You're right, Feather Junior Sister. It's just that your senior brother has been a bit slow to realize this!"
As soon as the announcement "The duel begins" sounded, both released their Martial Techniques and charged at each other...
Just a simple exchange of moves was enough to show that Bai Gongyu was in absolute control of the duel...
And even more so, she completely overpowered Bai Gong Fenglin to the point where he could only defensively respond, his defeat merely a matter of time...
As expected, under the gaze of many disciples, it took only about fifteen minutes before the match ended with Bai Gong Fenglin's injured surrender...
There stood Bai Gongyu in the arena, smiling at Bai Gong Fenglin as he clutched his chest, saying, "Senior Brother, thank you for the bout."
Bai Gong Fenglin's expression was complex as he said "Truly worthy, Feather Junior Sister, I concede wholeheartedly..."
"Truly worthy of Feather Junior Sister! Her combat skills are really formidable!"
"Exactly, among the female disciples of the White Palace Clan, Feather Junior Sister is indeed the strongest!"
"It's not surprising that Bai Gong Fenglin lost. What is unexpected is that he was completely suppressed in the fight by Feather Junior Sister, without any ability to counterattack!"
"Feather Junior Sister!! Feather Junior Sister!!!"
Sitting in his seat, Bai Gong Li nodded slightly in approval...
Worthy of being his daughter, she had barely shown any flaws and had easily defeated her opponent...
One of the elders beside him couldn't help but sigh, "Clan Leader, it seems that Feather's strength has greatly improved! She has probably reached the Fourth Layer of Transcendence Tribulation Stage, hasn't she?"
Another elder also nodded, "She must have advanced. Otherwise, with just her combat skills, it shouldn't be possible to suppress him so completely!"
"In the entire Tianfeng City, there probably isn't any female disciple who can surpass Feather's talent now, right?"
"With Feather's talent, surpassing the Clan Leader is not impossible!"
Bai Gong Li, enjoying the elders' praise, seemed to suddenly think of something and asked with a puzzled face, "Speaking of which, where's the Grand Elder and the third elder? Why haven't they come to watch the Clan's grand competition?"
An elder frowned and shook his head, "I don't know – recently, we've heard very little about their whereabouts."
Bai Gong Li felt a twitch in his eyelid and pondered, "Is that so? I have a feeling that something bad has happened..."
Bai Gong Huiye, Bai Gong Mu...
I hope you two haven't done anything foolish...
...
After returning to the ground, Bai Gongyu looked proudly at Xu Sheng, her Beautiful Eyes full of hope as she said, "How about it? Xu Sheng, ... was my fight satisfactory?"
Xu Sheng replied indifferently, "Pretty impressive, it was almost a one-sided crush!"
Hearing these emotionless words, Bai Gongyu pouted and said, "What the... Can you be any more perfunctory?"
Wait a second, why am I so eager to receive Xu Sheng's praise?
Hmph!
Who cares!
After a few more bouts, the Elder hosting the fights glanced at the list in his hands, his eyes suddenly lighting up...
Xu Sheng?
Not marked as a disciple of the Bai Gong Clan, could this be that outsider?
Immediately after, he coughed and announced loudly, "The next match is somewhat special, it's our Bai Gong Clan's disciple against an outsider!"
He then added, "Bai Gong Mochen versus Xu Sheng!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately sparked intense debate among the disciples below...
One of the disciples asked curiously, "An outsider? Is that the man Feather Junior Sister brought back?"
Another disciple replied with a sneer, "It has to be! Our Bai Gong Clan has no other outsider!"
"Hehe, we'll soon see his pathetic state! The Bai Gong Clan's family competition isn't something any rabble can take part in!!"
"Absolutely, I really want to see how he has the face to stay by Feather Junior Sister's side after this! That satisfying feeling~~ tsk tsk tsk"
Bai Gongyu threw Xu Sheng an encouraging look, saying tenderly, "Xu Sheng! Don't let me down, alright? Go for it!"
Though it was encouragement, the slight dimness of her cheeks betrayed her lack of hope in Xu Sheng!
Because his opponent was a disciple at the Second Layer of Transcendence Tribulation Stage!
Xu Sheng, seeing this, just chuckled and teased, "Looks like you don't have much hope in me..."
Bai Gongyu replied helplessly, "I would like to harbor some hope for you, but with the other party's cultivation level being at the Second Layer of Transcendence Tribulation Stage, you..."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Xu Sheng reassured calmly before turning and walking toward the arena...
Watching Xu Sheng's dashing figure, Bai Gongyu's cheeks suddenly heated up...
Why do I care about him so much?
We're clearly not a couple...
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt, and she shook her head vigorously, trying to throw all these thoughts out and focused intently on the situation in the arena...
...
In the arena, Bai Gong Mochen stared coldly at Xu Sheng and said with a chilly voice, "So you're the outsider Feather Junior Sister brought personally?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and replied with a light chuckle, "That's right, is there a problem?"
Probably yet another fool blinded by "love"...
But to his words, Bai Gong Mochen cursed directly, "Just a Seventh Layer of Hollow Void garbage! After you lose, get the hell out of the Bai Gong Clan, you're not worthy of approaching Feather Junior Sister!"
The darkness in Xu Sheng's eyes deepened a bit as he said, "Oh? And what if you lose?"
Bai Gong Mochen replied with disdain, "If I lose! I'll chop off my head and let you kick it around like a ball!"
Xu Sheng responded with a smile, "Good, I like your suggestion, I accept!"
Then we'll see just how bouncy this guy's head is...
"The match begins!!!"
