After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

The effect of a petite and adorable girl uttering such arrogant words in public was naturally explosive.

Countless cultivators below the stage glared angrily, wishing they could rush onto the arena, but were restrained by the rules from making a direct attack.

You took everything in, a slight smile playing on your lips, then extended a finger and beckoned towards the audience.

"Don't waste my time. Anyone who wants a challenge, go on stage."

The elder referee, who had been stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in a deep voice:

"Since this is your request, young friend, those who are willing to take the challenge, please come up on stage. However, only six people are allowed."

[Rules of the selection competition:]

Each person has three challenge opportunities, and each person can be challenged three times. It seems like a total of six times, but after a participant has played three times, winning two matches advances to the next round; losing results in elimination.

[According to the rules, if you win against one of the two people who go on stage, you can advance. This elder referee clearly couldn't stand your arrogance, so he simply gave you the maximum boost.]

You scoffed at this. When I was weak, I was subservient and swallowed my pride.

But now... is the time to strike hard!

[Thanks to Harden for the assist.]

"What? Nobody dares to go up?"

Your arrogant demeanor has once again provoked the crowd's anger, and five streaks of light instantly landed on the arena.

Even Lin Bufan was somewhat eager to try, but the old man with the ring dissuaded him.

"This woman's water-attribute spiritual energy fluctuations are extremely dense, most likely indicating she's a prodigy with a water-type celestial spiritual root. Are you sure you want to risk everything for a preliminary round?"

Lin Bufan slowly sat down.

On stage, Ikegawa was subdued by his mother with one hand, but he still defiantly shouted:

"Let me go! Today I will fight her to the death!"

【"Shut up."】

Chi's mother glared at him.

【"oh..."】

Ikegawa shrank back.

[Your divine sense had already covered the entire plaza, discovering that Han Xuan was not present. Recalling his purpose in appearing here last time, you realized that you had altered the course of his life.]

[That kid's too stingy. Next time I catch him, I'll definitely ransack his storage bag; there's bound to be a lot of good stuff hidden inside!]

Just then, the last challenger stepped onto the stage.

【"Huh?"】

[It turns out to be an acquaintance who came up first—it was Shi Ying, the follower you took in when you first went to the Hehuan Sect.]

[You remember she seemed to be a pure body cultivator, and at the time you wondered why she joined the Joyful Union Sect. Now that you've had contact with the Heavenly Balance Sect, you can see through her background.]

[This Shi Ying must be a cultivator from the Tianheng Sect, and her status must be quite high.]

[Because no one in the Hehuan Sect had ever made things difficult for her, they must have given prior notice.]

After jumping onto the arena, Shi Ying stood at the edge of the arena, raised her chin, and said:

"You guys fight first, then I'll intervene."

【Oh ho?】

[After three days of observation, I'm truly impressed.]

[It's not like before when they'd fawn over you and call you "boss." Looks like they haven't yet suffered the harsh realities of the cultivation world.]

[You didn't bother with any nonsense, and without using any magic, you simply raised your hand slightly.]

In an instant, the water-attribute spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred feet suddenly condensed, transforming into thousands of transparent water blades, densely packed and suspended in mid-air, refracting a cold, icy light.

"This woman, despite only being at the Foundation Establishment stage, can actually manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in battle!"

"I'd only ever heard of Nangong Jie of the Nangong family achieving this level, but I never imagined I'd witness it firsthand today."

"Hiss~ I'm certain this woman is the favorite to win this competition!"

The murmurs from the stands rose and fell, but you remained calm and composed throughout.

[Then, your figure slowly rose into the air, spiritual energy flowing around you, and a crystal throne materialized out of thin air, supporting your body and suspending you steadily above the arena.]

You sat languidly, propping your chin up with one hand, looking down at everyone present with an almost condescending air.

At that moment, all the contestants held their breath, an unprecedented sense of oppression sweeping across the entire plaza.

"Teacher..."

Lin Bufan swallowed hard. He had only just reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, and faced with an ability that could be compared to that of a Golden Core cultivator, he felt a strange sense of fear.

"Hmm...it should be some kind of special spirit."

The old man with the ring pondered for a moment, his analysis, though late, was timely.

"Her control over water-attribute spiritual power was already strong, and with the added benefit of her spiritual body, doing something like this wasn't difficult for her."

[Afraid that his apprentice would be discouraged, he casually added:]

"However, there is still an insurmountable gap between her and a true Golden Core cultivator. You don't need to underestimate yourself."

"Teacher...when will my sacred body awaken?"

Although there is no true ranking of strength among the spiritual body, divine body, and holy body in this cultivation world, in terms of combat power alone, the holy body absolutely crushes the other two major physiques by a huge margin.

"Once you find that item, the success rate of awakening is extremely high."

Upon hearing the teacher's answer, Lin Bufan clenched his fists, his gaze fixed intently on the field.

One day, he too will display his divine power before the world in such a way.

If you could hear Xiao Fanzi's inner thoughts, you would only kindly offer him one word of comfort:

"Don't worry, with your senior sister around, you'll never have a chance to show off your abilities."

"Aren't you going to refund me?"

You lowered your eyes, your gaze casually sweeping over the few people frozen on the stage.

They desperately wanted to shout angrily:

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

[They could feel the sharpness of those transparent water blades. After a moment of silence, the group gritted their teeth and, one by one, turned and leaped off the arena.]

It's just a game; there's no need to risk your life.

"Aren't you going downstairs?"

Looking at Shi Ying, who still stood ramrod straight on the field, you glanced at her with interest.

"You're a body cultivator!"

She stared intently at you, her eyes burning with a fervent fighting spirit.

Don't talk nonsense. Body cultivation is just a personal hobby. Otherwise, if word got out, other cultivators would look down on you.

Just as you were about to give up and blast her off the stage, Shi Ying's voice rang out again, this time transmitted telepathically.

"I've discovered a secret realm belonging to a senior body cultivator. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Upon hearing this, your eyes flickered slightly, and the surging spiritual energy around you receded rapidly like a tide. The throne beneath you, formed from spiritual energy, crumbled with a deafening roar, transforming into countless shimmering water droplets that rained down from the sky.

Your body slammed heavily onto the arena, the ground beneath your feet shattering with a crack that spread rapidly in all directions like a spiderweb.

"I didn't expect you to see through my disguise, even though I was hiding it so well."

You roll up your sleeves, calmly extend your right hand, and say with a frank gaze:

"That's right, I am actually a pure body cultivator."
