Chapter 15: Both Defeat and End in Despair:
As soon as he arrived at Tianlang Peak, Hua Qiandi encountered Leng Yaoyue, the Holy Maiden candidate, approaching him.
“Junior Brother, you’ve finally come out of Wenrou Township!” She remarked.
“Senior Sister, what do you mean?” Hua Qiandi replied seriously. “Since becoming the holy son candidate, I’ve worked hard and stayed motivated. I dare not slack off! I’ve been practicing diligently these days, worried about falling behind you!”
Leng Yaoyue sneered inwardly. If she didn’t have a spy, she would’ve been fooled by his words.
Practice?
Lying in bed all day with maids by his side—that wasn’t cultivation. Even the emperor wasn’t as indulgent as him!
She didn’t bother arguing about it. His decline was good news for her, though she still held disgust for him.
At this moment, two new system holders, Xue Wuhen and Zhan Wei, emerged, creating a stir among the crowd.
“Junior Brother, which one do you favor?” Leng Yaoyue asked casually.
Hua Qiandi pretended to think. “Both are senior brothers. Their strength has reached the immortal realm, and they’re both exceptional individuals. My abilities are far too inferior to judge them. I believe there is no real distinction between them.”
“Trying not to offend either, huh? Clever little ghost.” Leng Yaoyue teased, rolling her eyes.
“Senior Sister, who do you think is stronger?” Hua Qiandi asked.
“It should be Senior Brother Zhan Wei. Both are evenly matched in cultivation, but Zhan Wei has the Chaos King physique. His power increases with each battle, so he’s likely to win in the end.” She explained.
As she spoke, she glanced at Hua Qiandi’s handsome profile, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “Junior Brother, do you truly believe they’ll tie?”
“Of course.” Hua Qiandi nodded confidently.
“Why don’t we make a bet? The loser must fulfill one request for the winner. It must be something within their power and not against their morals. What do you say?” Leng Yaoyue suggested with a sly grin.
“I like the idea! I agree.” Hua Qiandi said, smiling back.
Meanwhile, Xue Wuhen and Zhan Wei stood opposite each other, hovering in the air.
Xue Wuhen drew his divine sword. “Brother Zhan, after you.”
Zhan Wei brandished his giant axe. “Junior Brother, go ahead.”
In an instant, they unleashed a terrifying aura, stirring up massive waves that cleared the sky.
With a loud roar, they launched their divine abilities.
The two knew each other too well to hold back. They started with their strongest attacks.
Xue Wuhen’s sword energy stretched across three hundred miles, slicing through the sky. Zhan Wei’s axe strike shattered the surrounding mountain peaks. Their clash felt like a battle between gods!
The crowd was in awe, witnessing the power of the two top geniuses of the Heavenly Demonic Sect.
Leng Yaoyue gasped, “How did their strength increase so much?”
As a Holy Maiden candidate, Leng Yaoyue was among the best in both talent and strength. But today, she realized the two who were once her rivals had far surpassed her.
“They’ve left me behind.” She thought, disheartened.
“Senior Sister, what did you say?” Hua Qiandi asked.
“Nothing, just watch the duel.” she replied, her eyes fixed on the fight.
In the arena, both Xue Wuhen and Zhan Wei were equally surprised by each other’s growth. However, each was confident that their system would ensure their victory. As a result, they fought with even more intensity.
Their moves became more explosive, and the audience was left speechless by their power.
Indeed, these two geniuses were closing the gap between themselves and the older generation.
But as the battle dragged on, frustration set in. Both were furious that they couldn’t defeat the other.
They thought, “If I don’t win, what about the system’s reward? Advancing to the 3rd rank is a rare opportunity. I must win!”
“Junior Brother, Senior Brother, I’m going to use my ultimate skill!” Xue Wuhen shouted.
“Me too!” Zhan Wei responded.
Their attacks became even more ferocious and irrational.
In the end, it led to mutual destruction.
If not for an elder secretly observing and intervening, both would’ve been left dead or crippled.
After the fight, their injuries were severe. Even with the help of healing elixirs, it would take at least two to three months to recover.
“I won, Senior Sister. Don’t forget our agreement!” Hua Qiandi said with a smile.
Leng Yaoyue muttered a weak response and walked away in defeat.
Hua Qiandi knew the reason.
After witnessing the duel, Leng Yaoyue must had realized both had surpassed her, and she couldn’t handle the disappointment.
Her spirits were indeed crushed.
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister. You’ll catch up with them soon, I promise.” Hua Qiandi muttered with a mysterious smile.
