Jiang Hao saw Xiao Li inside. She seemed drowsy. She turned to look when she heard footsteps and became more alert upon seeing familiar faces.

“Senior Brother… ”

She jumped to Jiang Hao’s side and complained that today the beast didn’t take her to eat with it, so she had eaten very little. She grumbled that the beast didn’t let her use its influence.

Jiang Hao listened without saying anything. The relationship between Xiao Li and the beast was quite complex. One dared to speak, and the other believed everything. He didn’t know what they had been up to recently.

However, it was evident that their master was somewhat helpless when it came to Xiao Li.

At the same time, it was clear that their master didn’t want to give up on Xiao Li. He was still attempting to teach her.

After comforting Xiao Li, Jiang Hao and Han Ming approached their master and paid their respects.

Apart from the three of them, there were no others present. Master Ku Wu Chang didn’t seem to mind Xiao Li’s behavior and instead focused on the three of them.

“Starting tomorrow, the Grand Compet.i.tion begins. It’s mostly proposed by the

Blackheaven Sect, and we can’t refuse to partic.i.p.ate. For the Foundation

Establishment and Golden Core Realms, you three will represent the Cliff of

Broken Hearts.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised that it was just the three of them. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Not everyone could partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Compet.i.tion, as the branches didn’t have many disciples. But there was one thing he didn’t understand: Han Ming’s challenges were reasonable due to his reputation, and he had been challenged because of certain grudges. However, why Xiao Li?

“Master, why has Xiao Li been challenged?” Han Ming curiously asked. Xiao Li was less likely to go outside, and she rarely caused trouble.

“Exactly.” Xiao Li herself was puzzled. Why would someone want to pick on her when she had done nothing wrong?

“Because Xiao Li defeated many people from the Bright Moon Sect in the past, and the Blackheaven Sect wanted to give it a try. They probably want to see how talented someone who managed to defeat the Bright Moon Sect disciples must be.”

Jiang Hao now understood. Xiao Li had fought against and defeated many people from the Bright Moon Sect in the past. She had won a lot of spirit stones. It had indeed been quite enviable.

‘When the time comes, just do your best. There’s no need to burden yourself over it. This time, it’s mainly for exchange purposes, so don’t go too hard,” said Master Ku Wu Chang and looked at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li blinked in confusion. Master Ku Wu Chang looked at Jiang Hao.

“I will explain it to Xiao Li,” Jiang Hao said.

After a few more instructions, Jiang Hao left with Xiao Li, while Han Ming seemed to have something to consult with their master.

“Lunchtime is almost here,” Jiang Hao said once they were outside.

Xiao Li became fully alert, and her stomach growled.

“When you’re fighting people tomorrow, it’s best to do it on an empty stomach,” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li nodded quickly. Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if she understood what he meant. However, as mealtime approached, she was likely to be even more distracted.

“I’ll go find the beast first.”

After Jiang Hao let Xiao Li go, she quickly ran to the Spirit Herb Garden. The reason she wanted to find the beast was just so that she could get a bigger portion in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria staff did indeed give a small extra portion to the Golden Core demon.

The next day, the compet.i.tion began in the square.

Numerous arenas were already set up there.

The disciples of the Blackheaven Sect were no less than those of the Heavenly Note Sect.

Seeing so many people, Jiang Hao felt it was dangerous. Once a fight started, the Heavenly Note Sect would be at a disadvantage.

“Senior brother, my arena is over there.” Xiao Li munched on a steamed bun and pointed at a distance.

Cheng Chou and the beast also followed her. “Later, if you chant my name, others will fall quickly.”

As they left, the beast “guided” Xiao Li.

The latter nodded.

In fact, most of the time, Xiao Li was very obedient. Sometimes she could be a bit rebellious, especially if someone touched her things and if someone messed with her food.

She wouldn’t say much if it was a friend causing a little trouble.

Jiang Hao arrived at his arena.

He had quite a few people here, mostly disciples of the Blackheaven Sect.

Two matches today, two matches tomorrow, and one the day after. This was his schedule.

At this moment, a woman was standing on the platform. She exuded a majestic aura, and her white dress fluttered in the wind.

Despite being in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, she had a presence that made others seem insignificant.

Jiang Hao leaped onto the platform.

“Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts?” The woman in white looked at Jiang Hao.

“Disciple Luo from the Bamboo Jade Peak?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes.” She nodded.

The referee was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. He looked at the two people. “You may begin.”

Whether others had started their fight was not important. They could begin anytime.

“Senior Sister, beat him up!” said a woman from the audience.

“Yeah, show this ignorant guy how powerful our Blackheaven Sect is!” another male disciple shouted.

“Junior Brother Jiang, defeat her! She’s just an early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator,” said someone from the audience.

Jiang Hao turned and saw that it was Senior Sister Miao and Senior Brother Mu. Senior Brother Mu looked somewhat embarra.s.sed. He pulled Miao Tinglian away.

Jiang Hao was somewhat helpless. Senior Sister Miao really wasn’t well-behaved in public.

Senior Brother Mu was in a difficult position. Disciple Luo snorted and held her sword. “Let’s begin.”

“Sorry for this.”

Jiang Hao unsheathed the Half-Moon Blade.

Clang!

The sound of the sword echoed throughout.

He used Demonic Sound Thousand Miles with the first form of the Heavenly Blade, Moon-Slaying.

Facing such an attack, Disciple Luo was not one to back down. Her sword moved and froze everything around.

Others became excited. That was the woman’s most formidable move. She intended to defeat her opponent in just one strike.

However, as moonlight flashed and the ice shattered, Jiang Hao’s figure flitted between light and darkness.

The blade’s intent swept across everything.

Boom!

The power was shattered by the blade’s light.

It was just a moment, and Disciple Luo saw a huge blade shadow descending from the sky.

Boom!

She felt like she would be heavily injured, but nothing changed.

Upon closer inspection, she realized the blade was poised near her neck.

And immediately after…

Crack!

Clang!

Her sword was severed into two sections. They fell to the ground.

Some strands of her hair were also severed, and they fluttered away in the wind.

She had lost!

She felt upset.

Then, she put down her sword. “I lost.”

“It was a good fight. Thank you.” He sheathed his blade and left.

Disciple Luo felt disappointed. If she had held on just a bit longer, her loss wouldn’t have looked so embarra.s.sing.

However, when she turned to leave, she froze.

Behind her, the arena had been split in half by a single slash at some point. The deep cracks were too noticeable.

“This…”

Looking at Jiang Hao’s departing figure, she suddenly understood why the seven people had lost to him before..
