Open up and break into another world

Whoosh!

Gu Fei crashed like a cannonball onto the protective formation outside the arena before stopping.

Boom!

The formation trembled slightly.

Bang!

Gu Fei slid down the formation membrane and onto the ground.

“Huh?”

The entire audience was astonished.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking in disbelief at Gu Fei, who had fallen outside the arena—was this the legendary “let you have three moves”? Did it end right after letting him have three moves?

Such a concession was truly unheard of and unseen!

Gu Fei’s face alternated between green and red. Feeling the strange gazes from all directions, he really wished his head had hit the formation first, directly knocking him unconscious for relief; unlike now, not only was he not unconscious, but he also had to endure the mocking gazes from the entire audience.

“Should I pretend to be unconscious?” Gu Fei even had such a thought.

However, after thinking about it carefully, this idea was unreliable. If he really pretended to be unconscious, he would probably be ridiculed even more. People would say—look, Gu Fei is really useless, he was knocked unconscious by Xu Ming in three moves.

Although he “lost in three moves” now, it was still slightly more dignified than being “knocked unconscious in three moves,” right?

It was slightly more dignified, but the gradually rising discussions around him made Gu Fei unable to raise his head.

“Are you kidding me? This is the three moves Gu Fei was talking about?”

“Losing in three moves after offering three moves—has the Wildlands Sect ever had such a joke?”

“Who can be blamed for making a joke? It’s all Gu Fei’s own fault for being too arrogant and ignorant!”

“That’s right! If you have to blame someone, you can only blame Gu Fei for acting tough!”

“Acting tough requires strength. Acting tough without strength like Gu Fei is called…”

“Idiot!”

There were discussions focused on Gu Fei, and of course, there were also discussions focused on Xu Ming.

“Has everyone noticed that from the start of the Sect Tournament until now, we seem to have underestimated someone!”

“Yes… this Xu Ming is really beyond our expectations all the way!”

“Right, right, a new disciple, participating in the Sect Tournament for the first time, can actually make it into the top sixteen, it’s simply brutally savage!”

“Indeed… at first, we all thought Xu Ming couldn’t even beat Ye Qianjue, but Ye Qianjue didn’t even have the courage to step onto the stage in front of Xu Ming! Then, we thought Xu Ming would lose to Chi Jishang, but Chi Jishang was slapped away. Now, we thought Gu Fei could easily win, but… Xu Ming defeated Gu Fei in just three moves!”

“I was really blind, I misjudged him, this Xu Ming is very powerful!”

“Indeed powerful—looking at the strength of his last strike just now, he should have already stepped into the realm of Half-Step Core Formation!”

“It’s probably some kind of ultimate move! Xu Ming’s true strength should only be the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm; it’s just that under the eruption, he can occasionally step into Half-Step Core Formation!”

“But this is already very powerful! Xu Ming’s next opponent should be Wei Yumo; this is going to be exciting, who wins and who loses is unpredictable!”

“Even if Xu Ming can win against Wei Yumo, he will definitely lose in the next battle!”

“Who is the next battle against?”

Everyone studied the tournament's match arrangements. Upon seeing this, they immediately discovered that if Xu Ming could defeat Wei Yumo, then next, he would encounter… Zhang Youtian!

Zhang Youtian… in terms of cultivation, he is only at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm; but in terms of strength, even some Half-Step Core Formation experts are not his opponents. Because—Zhang Youtian's realm is simply too high!

Before this year's Sect Tournament, the sect's higher-ups had already determined that Zhang Youtian should rank third! Only Lin Xuan and Ye Qianliu are stronger than Zhang Youtian!

“However, if Xu Ming can defeat Wei Yumo, then he will enter the top eight of the Sect Tournament! A new disciple participating in the Sect Tournament for the first time and entering the top eight… this record will be difficult for anyone to break for the next few hundred years, right?”

“As long as this Xu Ming doesn’t fall, he is destined to be an extremely dazzling existence in the future! Maybe he will be an invincible expert like the Sect Master, deterring the entire Wildlands Sect area!”

“An invincible expert like the Sect Master… that’s hard to say! But Xu Ming achieving the Core Formation Realm is a certainty!”

Apart from Gu Fei, the most angry person on the field was undoubtedly Gu Yan.

“Xu Ming, what do you mean by this?” Gu Yan coldly transmitted his voice.

“Oh dear, Elder Gu Yan, this situation… this situation really can’t be blamed on me!” Xu Ming pretended to be innocent, “I, Xu Ming, am a person who keeps his promises and values ​​them more than life! I said I would admit defeat after three moves, so I will definitely admit defeat after three moves; but who would have thought that Gu Fei couldn’t even withstand three moves…”

“You…”

What else could Gu Yan say?

Even if Xu Ming deliberately used a heavy hand in the third move; the actual situation was that Gu Fei couldn’t even withstand three moves!—Who can you blame if you can’t even withstand three moves yourself?

Blame Xu Ming for being too strong?—Even if Elder Gu Yan's face was thick, he couldn't say such a complaint.

“You… very, good!” Gu Yan said, gritting his teeth, word by word.

Gu Yan wasn't a fool, how could he not see that Xu Ming deliberately used a heavy hand in the third move after listening to his words.

“Thank you for the praise, Elder Gu Yan!” Xu Ming pretended as if he hadn’t heard the meaning behind Gu Yan’s words.

After this battle of Xu Ming, the other fifteen battles of the second round of the elimination round continued one after another.

However, because of the amazing performance of Xu Ming blasting Gu Fei in three moves, the subsequent battles seemed dull. Even Wei Yumo’s battle, which had always been the most watchable, seemed a bit boring compared to Xu Ming’s.

Soon, all sixteen battles of the second round ended.

Apart from Xu Ming's upset crushing of Gu Fei, the results of the other battles were mostly satisfactory, basically within the expectations of the sect's higher-ups.

And Xu Ming’s opponent in the third match also came out, without any suspense—Wei Yumo!

An Acquired genius with a very strange mental attack!

Being able to master very strange mental attack methods at the Acquired level is very rare.

Because most martial artists only start to come into contact with spiritual power during the Acquired Realm, and they don’t even know how to use it; it’s already quite rare for someone like Xu Ming to be able to use mental attacks directly.

However, Wei Yumo can use mental attacks very strangely, which shows that her talent in mental attacks is very high!

At the Acquired level, the amount of spiritual power that can be used is small, so mental attacks are usually not that scary. But if Wei Yumo breaks through to the Core Formation Realm and her spiritual power skyrockets, even Lin Xuan and Ye Qianliu will have to be wary of her!

Because, under a strange mental attack, you may not even know how you were hit, and you have already lost!

“It’s our turn!” Wei Yumo looked at Xu Ming.

The first battle of the third round of the elimination round was Xu Ming against Wei Yumo. Wei Yumo rarely encountered an opponent who also knew mental attacks, so she was naturally very expectant.

Xu Ming was also looking forward to it: “I also really want to see your strange mental attack!”

“Then let’s go!”

The two of them stepped onto the arena full of expectations.

Dear tycoons, you really support me whenever we disagree…
