Chapter 45: One Against Many (Part 1)

Mu Ruyue chuckled softly, "Even if you regret it, I won't. Let Mu Tingting come as well. Everyone, come at me together; I want to finish this and go to bed."

Arrogant, insolent.

For a moment, the young men, brimming with youthful vigor, were so infuriated that they felt like their heads were about to burst into flames. They couldn't wait to rush up and teach her a lesson, to let this frog in the well know that there was always someone better.

"Hmph." Ye Tianfeng coldly snorted, casting a disgusted glance at Mu Ruyue. Don't think he didn't know that this woman was trying to attract his attention. Over the years, she had done countless outrageous things just to catch his eye.

This time was no exception.

However, he was willing to give her a chance to embarrass herself...

With a faint smirk, Ye Tianfeng flicked open his folding fan and sneered, "Since that's your wish, I'll fulfill it. So, this time's competition will be one against twenty: Mu Ruyue versus the other twenty contestants."

One against many, this was destined to be a sure loss.

Tian Yuan furrowed his brows and finally sighed. Perhaps it was good to curb this young person's arrogance. Being too conceited was not beneficial.

On this continent, those who were arrogant without ability would always suffer a great loss.

After Ye Tianfeng's words fell, those young men who had already been enraged by Mu Ruyue's words were all eager to give her a good beating.

"Mu Ruyue!" Mu Tingting gritted her teeth, glaring viciously at the girl on the Martial Arts Platform. Seeing the indifferent expression on the girl's face, she let out a cold snort, and without a word, sprang onto the stage with a light tap of her toe.

Seeing Mu Tingting's actions, the others exchanged glances and also stepped onto the Martial Arts Platform one after another.

On the platform, the tension was palpable.

Li Lu, within the crowd, secretly sweated for Mu Ruyue. She was only a third-level Martial Artist, how could she possibly face so many people at once? Especially since among them was Mu Tingting, a fourth-stage Martial Artist.

At that moment, someone finally made the first move...

A silver whip flicked towards Mu Ruyue like a snake. Mu Ruyue quickly kicked the whip aside with keen eyes and swift hands, then sidestepped to avoid a heavy punch coming from beside, landing a hard punch on the chest of the youth in front.

The youth staggered back two steps, then roared and charged back into the battlefield.

These people, enraged by Mu Ruyue's attack, became more and more ruthless in their moves, their fists and feet moving faster and faster, as if trying to crush her with their sheer numbers.

However, the more they watched, the more they felt something was off...

"Is Mu Ruyue really a third-level Martial Artist?"

"No, that aura clearly belongs to a fourth-stage Martial Artist. Could she have broken through in just three days?"

A fifteen-year-old fourth-stage Martial Artist wasn't surprising; after all, Mu Tingting had reached the fourth stage at fourteen. But, if a fourth-stage Martial Artist could remain unscathed under such a number of attacks?

Of course, if they knew that Mu Ruyue had gone from the first rank to the fourth stage in just three months, they would have their eyes pop out in shock. This was not just talent; it was monstrous!

"Swish!"

Ye Tianfeng couldn't help but stand up, his eyes fixed on Mu Ruyue.

A fourth-stage Martial Artist? When did she break through to the fourth stage? If Mu Tingting hadn't taken the Green Origin Pill, she might not have even broken through to the fourth stage by tomorrow. Could this woman's talent surpass Mu Tingting's?

At this moment, Ye Tianfeng realized he had overlooked something.
