Seeing that the bet was established and personally witnessed by Mu Qingge, the other Peak Masters knew it was impossible to stop it now!

The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak, with his dark green eyes, glanced at Yun Churan with regret, "Junior Sister Yun, you've been somewhat reckless; that medicine bath was not easy for you to create!"

The medicine bath, which accelerates the cultivation speed, is truly worth far more than any Earth-grade weapon!

Yun Churan's beautiful eyes blinked, expressing gratitude, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother, but Mu Senior Brother was right just now. If I don't put up something—"

Muhuan, who had been watching, smacked his lips mockingly, "Junior Sister Yun, since the bet has been established, let's see if your Tianlan Peak disciple gets eliminated in the first round or not!"

Yun Churan replied coldly, "I believe in him. As for Hidden Sword Peak's disciples, they better not lose too miserably!"

Xu Sheng's cultivation level had reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level. By all accounts, he should at least make it past the second round!

Mu Qingge stretched lazily and said calmly, "Everyone quiet down and watch the competition of the Five Peaks. Who wins and who loses, no one can know until the end."

However, while they were discussing, Xu Sheng had already gripped the Tianyu Sword and stepped onto the fifth platform. He sized up his opponent from Hidden Sword Peak, Nuo Xuan!

The latter was obviously sizing him up as well, speaking with a hint of disdain, "So, Junior Brother Xu, you must be new to Tianlan Peak, right? Do you need this Senior Brother to go easy on you?"

Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he bowed with a gentle voice, "Sure, then I hope Senior Brother Nuo can suppress his strength a bit, so no one can say you bullied this new Junior Brother!"

If someone really wanted to play it up, he would give them the chance!

Nuo Xuan was dumbfounded for a moment, stuttering in confusion, "Eh... Eh???"

Who exactly is this guy!! He actually had the thick skin to agree!!

He was just making a polite offer!!

"Damn, is this new Junior Brother Xu that straightforward? Can't he tell the opponent was just being courteous?"

"Tsk! This Xu Sheng of Tianlan Peak really has no backbone, offering concessions before the fight even starts to a Hidden Sword Peak disciple—"

"I know that Senior Brother Nuo, with a cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Third Level! He's an Inner Sect Disciple of Hidden Sword Peak; this Xu Sheng definitely stands no chance!"

Nuo Xuan, feeling utterly humiliated, stared at Xu Sheng with gritted teeth and spat out his words, "Fine... Alright then, I'll give you some face, so you won't lose too badly!"

At this moment, the Elder of the Enforcement Hall announced loudly, "The first round of the Five Peaks Competition begins now!"

Upon the end of the statement, Nuo Xuan shouted coldly, "Be careful, Junior Brother Xu. Swords and sabers have no eyes!"

The next moment, he gripped his longsword and charged towards Xu Sheng with incredible speed, slashing towards his chest...

With a face showing no panic, Xu Sheng raised the Tianyu Sword fiercely, blocking it in front of his chest...

"Bang!" Upon the collision, sparked flared intensely...

Nuo Xuan's pupils shrank, thinking to himself in shock, "What's with this guy! How can he block my attack so easily!"

But before he could ponder further, Xu Sheng pushed his left hand against the horizontally held Tianyu Sword, and an immense force surged out instantly, making Nuo Xuan stumble back several steps before stabilizing his stance!

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Senior Brother Nuo, I didn't expect you to actually let me win. I'm moved as a Junior Brother!"

Nuo Xuan's strength was probably around the Foundation Establishment Third Level, which was a significant gap from his own.

Burning with anger at being humiliated by a newly joined disciple, Nuo Xuan's eyes filled with rage, "Damn it! Don't be arrogant! Let me show you my true power—"

```

His fingers erupted with spiritual power, and with a tap to his personal sword, the latter immediately burst into a pale blue glow and began to hover in the air…

Then, he flicked his finger towards Xu Sheng in the front, and a "whoosh" of a breaking sound arose as the floating longsword stabbed at Xu Sheng from a tricky angle!

Seeing this, Xu Sheng still held the Tianyu Sword calmly and blocked all the attacks!

The opposition, Nuo Xuan, seeing his attacks having no effect, shouted angrily, "What skill is there in only dodging! Yellow Grade Intermediate Martial Skill, Sword Shadow!"

The next moment, the longsword he controlled rapidly transformed into five, making it extremely difficult for the naked eye to discern the real from the illusions! Once again, they attacked Xu Sheng from different directions…

Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed as he said indifferently, "Lower Yellow Tier Martial Technique, Zhengyang Gangqi!"

A "hum!!" sound rang out as a huge pale yellow Gang Qi instantly surged from his body, forming a protective barrier around him…

The incoming longswords collided with the Gang Qi and were directly repelled by the force and flung away…

On the opposite side, Nuo Xuan's eyes widened, he stood dumbfounded, "How can a Lower Yellow Tier possibly withstand my attack!"

Xu Sheng glanced at Nuo Xuan with indifferent eyes, casually waved the Tianyu Sword at him, and declared, "It's over!"

Suddenly, a terrifying sword Qi three meters in size erupted from the Tianyu Sword…

Nuo Xuan summoned his palm, letting the longsword return to his hand, and fiercely chopped at the incoming sword Qi…

"Don't think you can just... pfft!"

But in almost an instant, the sharp sword Qi chopped his longsword away, and the aftermath directly blasted him backward, falling to the ground, clearly incapacitated!

Without changing his expression, Xu Sheng cupped his fists and said, "You have my respect, Senior Brother Nuo!"

On the other side, Nuo Xuan, seeing this blatant mockery, blood rushed to his head, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, falling into unconsciousness…

The Enforcement Hall Elder supervising the duel was also surprised, but still loudly announced, "Hidden Sword Peak Disciple Nuo Xuan has fallen unconscious, this round of the duel, Tianlan Peak, Xu Sheng, wins!"

And the disciples, who watched Xu Sheng defeat Nuo Xuan with wide eyes, rubbed their eyes and said, "No… No way? The new disciple from Tianlan Peak actually won against Nuo Xuan of Foundation Establishment Third Level!!"

"And it was a complete crush! His strength must be above Foundation Establishment Third Level! He's only just joined Tianlan Peak!!"

"Xu Sheng's strength is probably around Foundation Establishment Sixth Level, otherwise how could he have won so effortlessly!"

Down below, seeing this scene, Yun Cong nodded in approval, "Just like Junior Brother Xu! Complete and utter humiliation of the opponent! He has my style from back in the day."

Mu Yun said leisurely, "Yeah! I bet that blockhead from Hidden Sword Peak doesn't even know how he lost!"

Mo Qingyue also laughed lightly, "Junior Brother Xu's cultivation level has reached Foundation Establishment Seventh Level, Nuo Xuan was simply courting death!"

…

Yun Churan's ice-blue eyes swept over Muhuan beside her, calmly saying, "Mu Senior Brother, it seems I won, huh!"

Xu Sheng's advancement in strength was somewhat beyond her expectations!

Muhuan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Junior Sister Yun, don't laugh too soon. Our wager is whether Xu Sheng can raise Tianlan Peak's ranking in the five peaks competition!"

"You should know that this time, every main peak has at least one Golden Core Stage disciple participating in the competition!"
