Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

However, even so, when she actually stepped onto the competition stage in the martial arts arena, she couldn't help but feel her calves trembling.

Leaving aside the massive crowd, let's talk about her opponent in this competition, Lu Feng.

He was a disciple of the Body Cultivation lineage of the Liuyue Sect. His muscles were so muscular they almost burst his clothes, making him look anything but easy to mess with.

Bai Xiaobai could only hear the cracking sound of his fists, as big as sandbags, clenched so tightly. His thick arms were bulging with muscles, and the sleeves of his clothes were torn by the taut arms.

He took a step forward, and the bluestone ground beneath his feet trembled violently.

Bai Xiaobai swallowed hard, taking several steps back in fear.

She regrets it, so is it too late to run away now?

After all ten groups of disciples had taken their places on their respective platforms, the competition rules for this event were announced throughout the training ground.

"This competition is a battle of mist. The two disciples must break through the mist illusion array and defeat their opponent within it. Only the winner will qualify for the next round."

After hearing the competition rules, the surrounding chatter resumed.

"This year's competition is completely different from previous years. We need to break through the fog and illusion formations while guarding against the opponent's attacks."

"It certainly increases the difficulty of the competition, but I think it's still easier for the one with higher cultivation to win."

"It seems there's no suspense; this time, those with weaker cultivation will be eliminated again."

"..."

Hearing these comments, Bai Xiaobai frowned and sent a telepathic message to Changling with a worried expression.

"Sister Changling, you should be good at things like illusionary formations and mist, right?"

The red-clad sword spirit stretched: "This level of illusionary fog array is naturally easy for me to break. But I can't help you. In this kind of situation, who knows how many experts are hiding. If I were to intervene, I would definitely be detected. So, little guy, you'll have to rely on yourself this time."

Changling's rejection left Bai Xiaobai speechless with despair.

Therefore, with his tiny, bean-like body, he was afraid that Lu Feng could easily flick him away with just one finger.

Since Changling can't be relied upon now, we can only take a look at the details on this platform and see if we can break through the illusion array by following our memories.

After the competition rules were announced, all the disciples prepared for the battle.

Lu Feng stared at Bai Xiaobai not far from him, and seeing that she was still looking around, he couldn't help but feel angry.

As a body cultivator, he longed to be matched with an opponent of equal strength to fight against.

But to everyone's surprise, he was matched with a bean sprout.

You're saying he's a strong Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator, going up against someone who's not only a Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator, but also looks like a three or four-year-old toddler.

How could he possibly bring himself to do it?

If they beat her too badly, they'd be in a difficult position to explain to the Spirit Realm and the Azure Sky Sect. But if they beat her too lightly, they'd be in a difficult position to explain to the sect.

After all, when they participated in this sect competition, the sect leader had already given them, the participating disciples, some instructions.

They said that if they encountered disciples of Xiaoyao Peak, they should be ruthless.

But this...

But how could he possibly bring himself to do it?

He was afraid that Bai Xiaobai's small body wouldn't be able to withstand a punch from him.

Lu Feng grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his frustration intensified as he stared at Bai Xiaobai, who was looking around anxiously.

His eyes were wide open, and he exhaled heavy breaths, his chest heaving violently with each breath.

"Hey, kid from Xiaoyao Peak, I don't want to fight you. If you know what's good for you, just admit defeat."

As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, many voices echoed from the training ground.

"Bai Xiaobai, Lu Feng is right. How can you, a mere Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator, possibly contend with a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator? You should just admit defeat now."

"Don't even mention the illusionary fog array, you probably can't even get close to Lu Feng. It's not shameful for a Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator to lose to a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator."

"Hurry up and get down. You're going to lose either way. At least admitting defeat will save you from physical pain."

"Bai Xiaobai, I give up."

"Bai Xiaobai, I give up."

"Bai Xiaobai, I give up."

"..."

Soon, more and more voices came in an orderly fashion.

Although Bai Xiaobai remained standing on the field, her eyes gradually hardened.

snort!

Think beautiful!

If she were to concede defeat, wouldn't those who bet on her losing easily obtain double the spirit stones?

This must never happen.

Seeing that the other groups had already started their competition, Lu Feng became even more impatient.

"Letting you admit defeat is giving you face. With your small frame, what can you possibly withstand? Just admit defeat already."

Bai Xiaobai remained unmoved and rolled her eyes at him, utterly speechless.

"Hey big guy, are you afraid you can't beat me? What can you do with your size? If you want to fight, just fight, stop talking nonsense! You don't actually think I, Bai Xiaobai, am afraid of you, do you?"

"So what if you're only at the ninth level of Qi Refining? Come and fight me if you dare."

Lu Feng never expected to be provoked by someone at the first level of Qi Refining, especially in front of so many people. His blood boiled, and he no longer cared about offending anyone.

He wanted to beat that little bastard who not only rolled his eyes at him but also stuck his tongue out and made faces at him.

"Bai Xiaobai, you're asking for it."

Lu Feng gritted his teeth and roared angrily. The roar was like a muffled thunderclap, making Bai Xiaobai's heart tremble.

With a sudden swing of his right arm, his fist slammed down with tremendous force.

However, when he threw a punch, all he saw was a thick fog all around him, and there was no sign of Bai Xiaobai at all.

The whispers from the stands could still be heard, but there was no one else in sight.

"My God, Bai Xiaobai actually dared to confront Lu Feng head-on? Has she gone mad?"

"Shen Ji's disciples are always arrogant, and Bai Xiaobai is protected by her fiercely protective sect, so naturally she doesn't take anyone seriously. However, this is a competition arena, and with her strength, provoking Lu Feng will not do her any good."

"That's right, this illusionary fog array won't hold Lu Feng for long. Once he breaks the array, Bai Xiaobai is in big trouble."

"Do you think Xiaoyao Peak has gone mad? They know Bai Xiaobai can't win, so why set up a bet? Isn't this just giving us spirit stones?"

"Why bother with all that? Anyway, it's Xiaoyao Peak that's losing money, not us."

"The Misty Illusion Array can only be seen by those who enter it; we're going to be blind now."

"..."

Bai Xiaobai stood in the mist, resting her chin on her hand and staring at the large figure that was cautiously exploring.

Then, looking completely bewildered, he sent a telepathic message to Changling.

"So what the hell is this illusionary fog array? Why can I see that big guy so clearly? Sister Changling, do you think I should go over and stab him with my sword right now? And then prove that what I'm seeing isn't an illusion."

"And do you think it's possible that this misty illusion is actually useless to me? It's just all that fancy stuff, making me worry for nothing for so long."
