After all, even if he were to lose, he would merely be pushed back in the rankings. Lv Zhengyang, currently holding the fifth position, would move to sixth, subsequently forfeiting his entrance to the mystic realm.
However…
He had never antic.i.p.ated a loss, nor had he imagined that the contender occupying the fifth rank would react this way, as he had always maintained his position at second.
Gu Chaoyan was unfazed, though.
Ju Haocang had already a.s.sumed his stance.
Executing her opening move, Gu Chaoyan employed a series of fist techniques.
When her initial strike connected with Ju Haocang, he didn’t budge an inch.
A chuckle escaped Ju Haocang’s lips.
For her second move, she once again relied on her fist. Although her blow was more forceful this time, it was akin to a mere drop in the ocean for him. Ju
Haocang stated directly, “Junior Sister, you aren’t here for a meal.”
Gu Chaoyan’s response was a smile. “True, and perhaps some snacks as well. Allow me to unveil my third move, Senior Brother Ju.”
Ju Haocang merely laughed.
This exchange led to her thirtieth move.
The newly inducted disciples seemed oblivious to the vastness of the sky.
Such were the musings of Ju Haocang.
In the very next moment…
Gu Chaoyan’s punch caused his eyes to widen. Before he could grasp the situation, he found himself plummeting from the stage.
The compet.i.tion adhered to specific regulations. Falling from the stage translated to defeat.
Could it be that…
Ju Haocang lost?
The realization was almost incredulous to him.
A buzz of conversations rippled through the other disciples.
This outcome had caught everyone off guard.
It was akin to an unexpected error.
The astonishment was palpable.
When Ju Haocang grasped the situation, his reaction was not one of annoyance, but rather amus.e.m.e.nt. “Junior Sister, you’re clever – you win!”
Being the second-ranked member of the Beastmaster Sect, he certainly wasn’t lacking in intelligence.
Even though he might have been a tad careless, he could comprehend the sequence of events.
This Junior Sister had deliberately concealed her full strength at the outset, causing him to lower his defenses.
The second encounter still held his caution intact, yet by the third round, it had eroded away.
He had been defeated.
Nonetheless, he didn’t begrudge losing to the cunning of his Junior Sister.
However…
Lv Zhengyang’s countenance darkened.
If Ju Haocang’s loss meant slipping to the sixth rank, it translated to a disqualification from entering the mystic realm.
Was this an orchestrated occurrence?
A deliberate scheme to bar his entry to the mystic realm?
No wonder she had vehemently insisted on partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, even going to the extent of vying for the second place held by Ju Haocang!
Lv Zhengyang let out a contemptuous snort before departing.
However, one person was conspicuously absent.
As for Gu Chaoyan, Di Hongyun hurried over, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with enthusiasm. “Congratulations, Junior Sister! You and I can venture into the mystic realm together!”
Di Hongyun’s elation was palpable. His motivation for entering the mystic realm was aligned with being alongside his junior sister.
“Junior Sister, what was the deal with your third punch? It seemed like a mere tap, yet Senior Brother Ju was sent hurtling. Your prowess is truly enchanting, capable of turning the mundane into the magical! If I accompany you into the mystic realm this time, I’m sure to unearth numerous treasures!” Di Hongyun mused aloud.
Di Hongyun’s words painted a seemingly straightforward picture.
However, only Gu Chaoyan comprehended the underlying peril. She had believed the showdown with Ju Haocang would be relatively manageable.
Fortunately, he had afforded her three opportunities to strike; otherwise, prevailing against him would have proven challenging.
The first two moves were a deliberate strategy to confound Ju Haocang, but beyond that, they were a means of testing his capabilities..
