But...
The more they were cursed at, the happier the contestants from Wind Rain City became.
They kept calling the people of Fengyue City ignorant peasants, which infuriated them.
But who could they blame? Their own contestants from Fengyue City couldn’t defeat the others.
The most frustrating part wasn’t being taunted by these contestants from Wind Rain City, but the fact that their own contestants couldn’t win!
That was the most infuriating thing of all!
If they had won, they wouldn’t have to listen to those contestants from Wind Rain City run their mouths.
But that Fang Tian was indeed impressive. He had crushed Yuan Qiong with an explosive burst of power and overwhelmed Tang Piaomiao with sheer strength.
No one knew if Fan Wei, Mu Xianling, or Tang Yi could defeat Fang Tian.
This was the question on everyone’s mind in Fengyue City.
Because the pride of Fengyue City was at stake!
They couldn’t afford another loss!
If they lost again, the people of Fengyue City wouldn’t be able to say a word!
Moreover, if this guy named Fang Tian managed to defeat all five of them, and word got out, how could anyone from Fengyue City show their face in public again?
How would the Fengyue City contestants establish themselves when they got to the West Mansion?
So, no matter what, one of the three—Fan Wei, Mu Xianling, or Tang Yi—had to step up...
And at that moment, Mu Xianling took the stage.
Mu Xianling was a young woman, exceptionally beautiful with an ethereal air, and she had countless admirers.
Her appearance was met with thunderous applause, and her presence alone lifted the spirits of the Fengyue City crowd, pulling them out of their gloom.
They believed Mu Xianling could definitely defeat that bastard Fang Tian!
After all, Mu Xianling’s strength was among the best of Fengyue City’s contestants. In forty matches, she had only lost a single one!
The match she lost was to Fan Wei, who was considered the number one contestant (before Tang Yi revealed his true strength). This showed just how formidable she was.
With such power, she could surely defeat Fang Tian.
But...
The moment Mu Xianling and Fang Tian clashed, the faces of the Fengyue City crowd fell.
A disadvantage. A huge disadvantage.
From the very start, Mu Xianling was being suppressed!
Mu Xianling was extremely serious the moment she stepped onto the stage. Her focus was absolute, and she held nothing back, unleashing her full power.
But she was still being completely suppressed!
From the beginning, Fang Tian attacked aggressively. His fists whistled through the air as if they carried immense force, immediately putting Mu Xianling on the defensive!
"Miss Mu, you’re so beautiful. It would break my heart to hurt you. Why don’t you just step down and admit defeat?" Fang Tian taunted as he threw his punches, his arrogance palpable, acting as if he had already won.
"Hmph!" Mu Xianling snorted coldly, her expression turning grim.
’I’d love to just slap this shameless bastard into the sky.’
’But I can’t beat him!’
She was already using her full strength, yet she was still completely suppressed by Fang Tian’s fists and feet. All she could do was defend, with absolutely no room to counterattack.
In the midst of the exchange, Mu Xianling had figured it out: her opponent’s Level was higher than hers!
She was a step behind in raw power, and it was obvious she couldn’t match Fang Tian in terms of experience either!
That was why she was being so overwhelmed she could barely breathe.
’But I won’t admit defeat so easily!’
"Oh?" Seeing Mu Xianling’s stubborn expression, it seemed she still wanted to fight. Fang Tian’s lips curled into a wicked smile. "Since you refuse to surrender," he said, "don’t blame me for being rough with a delicate flower!"
With that, he quietly retreated a few steps, then reversed direction and charged at Mu Xianling again.
"One-Character Shock!"
Fang Tian charged straight toward Mu Xianling.
This was the same move he had used against Yuan Qiong and Tang Piaomiao!
Using this move could triple the power of Fang Tian’s attack.
So, even what looked like an ordinary punch from Fang Tian could unleash tremendous power!
Just as Fang Tian retreated, Mu Xianling was relieved to finally have a moment to breathe, but a ferocious aura immediately washed over her.
She looked forward and instantly saw Fang Tian’s maneuver.
She had seen this move in Fang Tian’s previous matches.
And because she had just watched his match against Tang Piaomiao, she also knew how to counter it.
But Fang Tian’s movements were simply too fast!
One move flowed seamlessly into the next.
He followed up his barrage of punches and kicks with this Martial Technique, giving her no time to dodge!
"BOOM!"
Fang Tian’s fist came crashing in. Mu Xianling could only brace herself and try to resist, but...
She was sent flying in an instant, landing outside the ring.
After falling from the stage, Mu Xianling defiantly sat up at once, a trickle of blood slowly running from the corner of her mouth.
She was injured.
However, Mu Xianling was in much better condition than Yuan Qiong. Previously, Yuan Qiong had been knocked unconscious and had coughed up a large mouthful of blood, but Mu Xianling wasn’t even unconscious; she had only a trickle of blood.
It seemed Fang Tian was relatively respectful toward women and hadn’t been too heavy-handed.
But this only made Mu Xianling feel even more humiliated!
"Hmph!"
Wiping the blood from her lips, Mu Xianling shot Fang Tian a fierce glare. She then shook off the referee’s hand as he came to help her up, stood on her own, and returned to her group.
"Fang Tian wins!"
The referee looked at his rebuffed hand with a wry smile, then announced the result of the match.
GASP!
Hearing the result, the people of Fengyue City once again let out a thunderous cry of alarm. Everyone’s expression grew uglier and uglier.
"Even Mu Xianling lost?"
"Is that Fang Tian really so powerful? He’s already beaten three people from our Fengyue City in a row."
"Damn it, this is so infuriating! We’re getting our faces slapped and can’t even fight back."
"We’re not actually going to get swept five-to-zero, are we?!"
"No way! We still have Fan Wei and Tang Yi! They’re the ones who are truly powerful. What’s this Fang Tian in comparison!"
"I just heard those Wind Rain City contestants say that Fang Tian is the weakest one they’ve sent out... Are we really going to lose to them this time? I can’t accept this!"
"You’re listening to their boasts? You believe everything they say?! This Fang Tian is so strong, he’s probably Wind Rain City’s best contestant."
"But he could also be their weakest... If that’s the case, then they’re really going to dominate us on our own turf. This is so infuriating."
"I just hope Fan Wei and Tang Yi can pull through for us. They absolutely cannot let us down."
"That’s right! The pride of our Fengyue City rests entirely on their shoulders!"
Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Wang Zongyao announced Fengyue City’s fourth candidate.
And this fourth person was quite a surprise to the crowd.
It was Fan Wei!
If the order was based on strength from lowest to highest, Fan Wei, who everyone considered number one, should have been saved for last as the anchor.
But now, he was taking the stage!
