Chapter 8

"Winner, Mo Fan!"

The arena abruptly exploded into applause and cheers as they finally understood that Mo Fan had reached this far not because of luck, but by the strength he possessed.

The refereee ignored Wang Ming who was knocked out.

He only called out some disciples to carry him out of the stage.

As for treating his wound? It's normal for someone to be treated as dead in the demon sect once they lost their worth.

Just because there wasn't any bloodshed in the open, doesn't mean it was harmonious sect. A demon sect, in the end was a cold and bloody place after all.

A young man wearing inner disciple robe was watching the unfolding with a dark expression on his face.

This person was Zhou Kai, the one who instigated the disciples to bully Mo Fan and also the one who took his childhood sweeheart from him.

"Trash!"

Zhou Kai gritted his teeth and then turned his face to the side.

"You, did you secretly give him heaven and earrth treasures?"

Xu Mei kept her lips sealed and didn't utter a single word. Her brow were slightly furrowed.

Mo Fan left the stage under the gaze of everyone.

He turned his head and cast his gaze at Zhou Kai's location with a provoking look. Zhou Kai was also looking at him with a disdainful look on his face.

"Big Brother Mo Fan, that was amazing!"

As he went back to his seat, a girl praised him.

"Thank you. So, did you win as well?"

Mo Fan said with a smile on his face.

"Of course!"

Qing Yun said.

This girl, Qing Yun met with Mo Fan accidentally a year ago. Mo Fan met her when he was looking for herbs in the mountain.

He found Qing Yun was unconscious and reluctantly saved her. It was dangerous to leave an unconscious young woman alone in the mountain where wild beasts roam around.

Disciples of demon sect were all selfish who only cares about their benefits. Mo Fan didn't want to become someone like them because his parents were both people with principle.

Their relationship gets closer as time passed. She never looked down on him when everyone was calling him trash and bullied him.

She even had to treat his wounds a few times. If not for her help, Mo Fan would already be dead.

"Big Brother Mo Fan, let's enjoy the show together"

"Alright"

When Mo Fan realized Qing Yun was not going to ask about bow he got stronger so quickly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

....

After Mo Fan's duel ended, the competition continued. No one bothered about Wang Ming who was crippled. Even Zhou Kai who was his boss doesn't care about him.

Ten rounds were quickly finished and the top ten of each group had been decided. As predicted, the top ten contestants were all famous disciples among the younger generation of the Demon Beast Sect.

In the outer disciples group, most of them were at 9th-stage Qi Refining Realm. Mo Fan was the only 8th-stage Qi Refining Realm. However no on dared to look down on him after what he did to Wang Ming.

Meanwhile, in the inner disciples group, Zhou Kai possessed Spirit-grade and was dominating the group with his 8th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Followed by Xu Mei who was at 5th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

Xu Mei possessed Earth-grade physique which made her cultivation faster and stronger than the other disciples of the same level.

She reached her current stage in just two years from 4th-stage Qi Refining Realm. It usually took five or six years for other people.

Qing Yun was also one of the top 10 with her 4th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

Everyone knew the following matches were the highlights of the competition.

After drawing lots, they were divided into five. This time, Mo Fan's opponent was a young man named Liu Kang. He was known for his tough physique, however he did not pose much threat to Mo Fan.

Before the referee called their names, Mo Fan walked directly jumped into the stage.

"Fighting each one of you is too much of a hassle. Let's just decided the winner in a single match. I, Mo Fan, challenged all of you to fight me together!"

Mo Fan shouted loudly.

Hearing what he said, the crowd immediately turned towards Mo Fan and went into uproar.

The referee frowned at Mo Fan's action.

"You're breaking the rules"

The referee said.

"Elder, the purpose of the Hundred Beasts Festival is to look for outstanding talent. How can one be a talent if they don't even have the courage to challenge everyone?"

Mo Fan cupped his fists and said.

"You...! How arrogant!"

One of the contestant shouted. No matter how strong Mo Fan was, it's too arrogant to challenge everyone in a competition like this.

"Hahaha! What an interesting brat!"

Sect Master Long laughed.

"How manly. A lot of female disciples are going to fall for him"

Sect Master Liu teased.

"If he was a boring brat, I won't put my bet on him"

Gu Xianyu chuckled.

"Ah, youth"

Ancestor Huang smiled faintly.

Gu Xianyu turned his face to Yang Zhangtian and said.

"Sect Master Yang, why don't you allow him to challenge them? It should be interesting, right?"

Hearing what Gu Xianyu said, Yang Zhangtian who was stroking his beard, nodded.

The word 'interesting' caught his attention. He still remembered Gu Xianyu was looking for interesting things.

And so, he directly agreed and sent a transmission voice to the referee.

The referee was surprised by the sudden message, but he quickly agreed.

"Very well, I agreed"

And it was decided just like that.

The nine disciples wanted to argue, but they couldn't do anything since the elder who was overseeing the competition agreed to Mo Fan request.

Besides, they also knew deep inside that they weren't a match for Mo Fan in a duel.

"Mo Fan, I will teach you a lesson!"

One of the disciple snorted.

Although some of them were unhappy with Mo Fan action, they obediently stepped into the stage. If they forfeits, it would destroyed their reputations. Besides, they might had the chance to defeat him.

"Mo Fan, please go easy on me"

Liu Kang said respectfully.

No matter how arrogant Mo Fan's action was, the fact that he dared to challenge everyone deserved his respect.

"If I hold back, I might lose instead"

Mo Fan replied in a cold tone.

However, he silently kept in his heart he would go easy to him.

When people gave him respect, he would give them the respect they deserve. However, if they provoked him, he would give them the enmity they deserve.

"Begin!"

When all ten of them entered the stage, the referee signaled the match to begin.

As soon as the announcement was finished, they rushed at Mo Fan at the same time and besieged him.

They let out their Qi to the fullest and attacked him.

"Iron Fist"

"Iron Demon Fist!"

"Elephant Palm!"

The glow emerging from their bodies were quite dense. To be able to reach this state means they could step into Foundation Establishment Realm at any given time.

On his seat, Yang Zhangtian nodded silently as he witnessed the sight. The more talented the younger generation, the happier he felt.

"Mo Fan, watch out!"

Qing Yun shouted from her seat.

Mo Fan's expression turned serious as they charged at him.

He compressed his Qi into his fists. A huge amount of Qi containing extraordinary force could be felt from his fists.

"Demon Echo Fists!"

He swung his fists at one at a time towards them.

A series of echoes resounded from the stage followed by a devastating shockwave.

There were a total of nine echoes.

Upon witnessing this scene, the nine disciples on the stage were alarmed. They never expected that Mo Fan would be able to use such skill!

Yang Zhangtian was also a bit startled by his sudden display.

Because the power of Mo Fan's attack completely exceed his previous fist. His attack already exceed the 3rd-stage Foundation Establishment Realm!

The shockwaves crashed against Liu Kang and the others. The devastating force hit them and their bodies flew away like a broken doll. All of them were thrown away outside the stage, with Liu Kang as the exception.

Although Liu Kang was also hit by the shockwave, the power was not as strong as the rest of them. He was hit by enough force to knock him out without injuring hin fatally. He was the only one who was not sent flying.

His decision to greeted Mo Fan with respect was correct.

Meanwhile, the other eight disciples had their ribs broken. The worse had his dantian broken, making him crippled just like Wang Ming.

Seeing that Mo Fan was unharmed and even defeated each of them with just one hit, the crowd burst into an uproar.

The referee was stunned as well by Mo Fan strength. However, he soon recovered and announced the winner.

"Winner, Mo Fan!"

...

"Mo Fan! Mo Fan!"

"Mo Fan! I love you! Please have a baby with me!"

"Brother Mo Fan! Please marry me!"

The crowd who once looked down on Mo Fan were now calling his name and cheering him.

Some female disciples were even confessing their love for him.

Seeing this sight, Zhou Kai face became gloomy.

"What is so great about defeating a bunch of trash?"

Zhou Kai snorted coldly.

He was looking at Mo Fan direction with hateful eyes.

Xu Mei who was standing next to him was also surprised by Mo Fan's strength.

However, she didn't say anything. If she opened her mouth, it would just make Zhou Kai displeased even more.

She was arranged as Zhou Kai's dao companion by the sect. If she did something that displeased him, it would just make her days in the future became bleak.

Her physique was awakened because of Zhou Kai's help and her cultivation resources was given by the sect. If he didn't help her, she probably would never awakened her physique. And if the sect didn't give her resources, she probably was still at Qi Refining Realm.

The next match piqued everyone's interest, especially Mo Fan.

Because the next match was between Xu Mei and Qing Yun.

The two of them were considered as the most beautiful woman in the younger generation. In fact, most people were secretly had a crush on both of them.

They didn't dare to approach Xu Mei because she was Zhou Kai's dao companion. Qing Yun on the other hand was the only granddaughter of the Hall Punishment elder.

If anyone could win her heart their future would be bright. However, there were rumors that she hates men and only likes women.

And now, these two women were about to face each other.

This match would be exciting.
