Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Mu Yun held a long sword, exuding confidence and high spirits.

"Those who betray their cause in the face of battle will be dealt with personally by this divine son!"

He was originally planning to make a surprise appearance at the end, but Xiao Chen became an unexpected variable.

If you can't bear it, then you won't bear it.

Doing things as they please is Mu Yun's style.

"Heh... Junior Brother Mu, you're still too young. You only know how to act impulsively and don't understand the bigger picture."

Xiao Chen shook his head and laughed, "Now that you've come out, the Tai Xuan Holy Land will be without anyone for the final battle. Even if you beat me, the Tai Xuan Holy Land still won't be able to win the championship in the end."

"The affairs of the Tai Xuan Holy Land are none of your concern."

"Since that's the case, then... let me see just how much stronger you are than me!" Xiao Chen drew his long sword, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.

"Today, I will only draw my sword once."

Mu Yun's feet left the ground, as if a wisp of azure energy was lifting him up.

"Mu Yun said he only used one sword strike?!"

"What an arrogant tone!"

"Although Xiao Chen is not as powerful as him, he is still a prodigy. You think you can defeat him with just one sword strike?"

"If he fails to win this sword strike, how will he save face? Haha!"

At this moment, everyone in the Tai Xuan Holy Land had their hearts in their throats.

Especially the core elders of the sect, their five fingers had already clenched into fists, their eyes fixed on the white-robed figure that kept floating up.

It's too late to blame Mu Yun for being reckless now. We can only hope that he won't be embarrassed by his boastful words, which would only bring shame to the entire Tai Xuan Holy Land.

Mu Yun held the sword high above his head.

"Sword, come!"

These two simple words, like a thunderclap, resounded in all directions!

hum-

At the scene, a large number of swords suddenly began to hum and stir.

"What's going on? My sword is vibrating!"

"It seems to have developed its own consciousness and can't be controlled anymore."

"It's Mu Yun's sword energy... His sword energy is so strong that it resonates with our swords!"

"He is... borrowing a sword."

Whoosh!

A sword shot out from the sky and flew towards Mu Yun.

"Senior Brother Mu, catch it!"

"I'll lend it to my senior brother too."

"Since you're a man of principle, I'll lend you the Azure Moon Sword!"

"Haha, Divine Child, catch this! This Killing Sword of mine is very difficult to wield."

Hundreds and thousands of sword shadows flew out from the Cangyun Mountain range.

Finally, countless swords gathered above Mu Yun's head to form a sword group, stretching endlessly and almost filling the entire sky!

"Yes, Sword God Technique!"

The Supreme Saint Lord's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What...? This kid has already mastered the Sword God Technique?!"

"What exactly happened to him during the time he was gone...? He's gotten even stronger."

"What is the Sword God Technique?" Chen Nian asked subconsciously.

"The profound mysteries of the Tai Xuan Holy Land's sword techniques are usually only mastered by those who have practiced swordsmanship for over a hundred years and whose sword intent is sufficiently pure. There has never been anyone so young..."

The expressions of the people from the Ancient Netherworld Holy Land changed several times.

"He borrowed so many swords, isn't that a foul?!"

"Do you know how much skill it takes to control so many swords...?"

Thousands of swords, with Mu Yun's sword as the main body, formed a stream of cyan swords.

Mu Yun's black hair flew wildly as she pointed her sword.

A torrent of swords, like a giant azure dragon, surged forth and rushed toward Xiao Chen on the ground.

"You're just making things difficult... I don't believe you can control so many swords!"

Xiao Chen's entire body also erupted with a burst of azure light as he thrust out his sword, instantly forming several defensive azure arrays.

however,

These profound defensive formations shattered instantly under the impact of the Azure Dragon Sword Stream.

Even Xiao Chen's sword instantly turned into countless fragments.

His pupils widened suddenly, a chilling aura of death spreading throughout his body...

The next second, he will be torn apart by this sword-flowing azure dragon.

At the critical moment.

A black beam shot out from the Ancient Netherworld Holy Land; it was none other than the Holy Lord himself!

He raised his palm and struck out, using his powerful profound energy to directly clash with the sword flow, resulting in a loud "boom".

The Azure Dragon shattered, and countless sword shadows returned to their rightful owners.

The Holy Lord was also forced back two steps.

Xiao Chen's back was completely soaked with sweat, his pupils were lifeless, and he was still trembling all over.

"Good heavens... even the Holy Lord has been forced to intervene and save people."

"If we don't save him, Xiao Chen will surely die!"

"Then they've already lost this match."

After a brief silence, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"What a fine sword!"

"It's worth seeing this sword strike at the sword-fighting tournament."

"Haha, that's great, that's great!"

"With Mu Shenzi here, how can the Tai Xuan Holy Land not prosper?"

Even Chen Nian couldn't help but applaud, "That's great, Senior Mu, your public display of talent has reached a new level."

Mu Qingxuan looked at Chen Nian in surprise: "Why do you look so pleased?"

"The Sacred Land of Tai Xuan, Mu Yunsheng!"

Originally, Mu Yun won this match, but he still needed to fight the winner on the other side to determine the first place.

"I am honored to have witnessed this earth-shattering sword strike. I am ashamed of my inferiority and I concede defeat."

In the end, Mu Yun won first place.

Tai Xuan Holy Land gets an additional 2 points, for a total of 7 points.

However, the Ancient Sacred Site also scores 5 points.

The upcoming match is the final game, where a maximum of 4 points can be scored.

When Mu Yun returned, he was pale and staggering.

"Senior Brother Mu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine... just a little weak."

That sword strike had almost drained all his Xuan power, leaving him with no strength to fight anymore.

"You brat, acting on impulse!"

Master Kongxuan gave him a displeased look. "That sword strike just now was indeed quite good. You didn't disgrace your master."

But the elder referee's next words immediately pulled everyone out of their joy.

"The grand finale is about to begin. Contestants from the four sacred lands, please prepare to enter!"

The people of Tai Xuan Holy Land realized this too late.

"Who should we send out for our final match?"

"Yeah... without Senior Brother Mu finishing the show, who else has that kind of skill..."

"This battle is worth a full four points; we absolutely cannot let the Ancient Netherworld Holy Land get them!"

The master asked, "Mu Yun, since you've recklessly stepped forward to fight, have you considered who would be the final act?"

"certainly."

At this moment, Mu Qingxuan coughed twice and tugged at Mu Yun's sleeve.

She had wanted to play for a long time.

For some reason, my master has always been unwilling to let me participate.

If I could unleash the Three Yang True Fire within me, I might not be weaker than my brother...

"My recommendation is Chen Nian!"

Mu Qingxuan: ?

Chen Nian: ?

Upon hearing Mu Yun's words, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

"Chen Nian... Senior Brother Mu actually wants Chen Nian to fight in the final battle?"

"I wonder how good he is..."

"He's climbed the eighty-first floor of the Heavenly Ladder, so he can't be too weak, right?"

"But I just saw him practicing the most basic Xuan Qi breathing technique. Is he really okay...?"

"Besides, Chen Nian isn't a disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land. Does he know how to behave properly in public?"

"If Xiao Chen can switch sides in the heat of battle, why can't Chen Nian, a friend of Senior Brother Mu and a guest of our Tai Xuan Holy Land, do the same?"

Mu Yun gave Chen Nian a look.

It's as if it's saying: Go ahead, the opportunity to shine in front of everyone is yours!

"Why won't you let me go! Master, I'm willing to fight for the Tai Xuan Holy Land." Mu Qingxuan couldn't help but stand up, biting her lip as she volunteered.

The disciples were also quite puzzled. Logically speaking, the Holy Maiden was equally powerful, so it would have been more reasonable for her to fight.

"Qingxuan, step back and listen to your master."

"..."

Mu Qingxuan could only sit back down in her seat, feeling dejected.

She was overprotected from a young age. Even before she turned eighteen, her master wouldn't let her go down the mountain alone. She was like a canary in a cage, with no freedom at all.

That's why she loves the stories in folk tales and yearns for those tales of chivalry and adventure.

"Young friend Chen Nian, I wonder if you are willing to fight for the Tai Xuan Holy Land? If so, from this day forward you will be a disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land."

"I'll think about it."

Although Chen Nian really wanted to agree, he had too little power, and summoning the undead bone dragon on the way had wasted some of it.

At most, it's only enough for one match.

As everyone knows, to win first place, you have to play two matches.

Unless, the other three holy sites can be resolved all at once.

"That's possible, but I'd like to make a request to the organizers, and I'd appreciate it if you could do it for me."

"Tell me your request, no problem."

........

"The grand finale begins!"

"Please send your participants from the host, the Ancient Nether Holy Land, to battle!"

The voice just fell.

A figure in purple robes leaped into the air and landed in the center of the arena.

He was dressed in a tall hat and had his hair tied up. He was elegant and refined, and a purple dragon surrounded him. He had an extraordinary aura!

A cheer erupted from all around, especially from the Ancient Netherworld Holy Land, where the screams were like a tidal wave, just like a fan meeting.

The man smiled faintly.

"Ancient and sacred land, Cold Cliff, please enlighten me!"

"It's Young Master Hanya from the Ancient Netherworld Holy Land. He's a disciple personally taught by the Holy Lord, and his strength is unfathomable."

"As expected, he was the only prodigy deemed capable of going toe-to-toe with Mu Yun. I wonder how strong he is now?"

Hua Wanling, from the Heavenly Maiden Sect, had a flushed face and bright eyes.

"As expected of Young Master Hanya, he's still so handsome and dashing. I wonder what kind of lucky woman could win his favor... What do you think, Sister Ji Ya?"

"..." Ji Ya gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word.

"Now that Mu Yun is gone, Young Master Han Ya will definitely take the crown. With his support, how can you possibly compete with me for the Holy Maiden's position?"

Next up is the Wuji Holy Land.

The man who appeared was dressed in a clean and neat outfit, holding a long spear. His spearmanship was powerful and imposing.

"The Sacred Land of Wuji, Tianlang." His self-introduction was equally concise.

"It's the young master of the Boundless Holy Land!"

"It is said that his Wild Wolf Spear technique has surpassed his master's, and is no less than that of the Holy Land Elder!"

"The Boundless Holy Land has expended a great deal of resources to nurture him; it's said his cultivation level has already reached the peak of the Moon-Stepping Realm?"

The third person to appear was a woman.

The woman, dressed in a peach-colored long dress and embroidered shoes, gracefully entered the venue on a piece of fine silk.

The woman covered her face with her short sleeves and bowed slightly.

"This humble woman, Lin Xian'er, from the sacred Tianchi, greets all you heroes and valiant warriors~~"

"This woman is no ordinary person. She's said to have reached the sixth level of the most difficult cultivation technique in the Heavenly Pool Sacred Land, 'Autumn Waters Unstained by Dust'!"

"Hehe, she's a peerless beauty on the Fairy Saintess Ranking! She's just slightly inferior to Fairy Mu."

"These are all extraordinary people. It's a real pity that Mu Yun, this prodigy, is missing."

"Yes, without Mu Yun in the final battle, there are definitely fewer highlights."

"I wonder who the Tai Xuan Holy Land will ultimately send? I've never seen Fairy Mu make a move in public before; I wonder if there will be an opportunity today..."

Just as people were discussing it.

The participants from the Tai Xuan Holy Land have finally made their appearance!

All eyes are on us.

"They're finally out!"

"Wait, why did he walk into the arena?"

"Why can't I see through his cultivation level...? This person doesn't seem to have much profound energy..."

"Indeed, could he possibly have a way to conceal his profound energy? It can't be that he's genuinely weak, which is why we can't sense it?"

"I have never seen such a person in the Tai Xuan Holy Land."

"It's him!"

Lin Feiyu spoke up subconsciously.

He never expected that the person he met at the brothel that day would become the final participant of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

I'd like to see if you can be stronger than Senior Brother Han Ya!

Ji Ya was the most shocked when she saw Chen Nian appear on the projection stone.

"H-How is this possible...."

Ji Ya covered her mouth, speechless on the spot, her beautiful eyes trembling with shock.

That day, he denied being from one of the Four Holy Lands, and Ji Ya thought she had been deceived and taken advantage of.

Who would have thought that he was not only from the Holy Land, but also such an important person!

"So he... wasn't lying to me?"

"What's wrong? Judging from your expression, it seems you know this person?" Hua Wanling said with a charming smile. "Then why don't we have a competition to see who has their eye on a more impressive man?"

"I have no connection with him."

Ji Ya shook her head.

In her view, Chen Nian's failure to admit it that day, and his subsequent escape so quickly, clearly indicated that he did not want to acknowledge their one-night stand.

"There's been a rumor circulating lately, I don't know if you've heard it..."

"What rumor?"

"It is said that on the Cloud Ladder of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, there was a person standing side by side with Mu Yun, chatting and laughing, as they climbed all the way to the eighty-first floor!"

"Is that so? Does that mean the Tai Xuan Holy Land has produced another monster!"

"That person... seems to be him."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ya was utterly horrified.

His prowess extends far beyond his bedroom skills.

.......

Mu Qingxuan noticed that Mu Yun was sitting upright, staring intently at Chen Nian.

"Brother, you didn't watch the previous games, why were you watching this one so intently?"

Learning has no end.

All four have taken the stage, and next, they will draw lots to determine the two-on-one matchups.

At this time.

The elder referee suddenly coughed and said:

"Just now, the Tai Xuan Holy Land made a request, hoping that this final battle could be changed to a free-for-all instead of the usual one-on-one fight."

Immediately, the audience began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Why did the Tai Xuan Holy Land suddenly make such a request? Is it because they lack confidence in Chen Nian's strength...?"

"No, the Tai Xuan Holy Land currently ranks first in points. If a real free-for-all were to break out, it would become the primary target."

Of course, even the people of the Tai Xuan Holy Land didn't know why Chen Nian made this request.

He said he would only go on stage if he asked the organizers.

Mu Yun seemed to suddenly realize something, and his whole body tensed up, his blood rushing to his head.

"Could it be that he wants to...?"

Han Ya sneered: "Does the Tai Xuan Holy Land want to change the rules in order to fish in the chaos of battle?"

Lin Xian'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Little brother, I advise you not to, otherwise you might get targeted later~~"

Tianlang also said seriously, "If you're looking for someone to join forces with, I'm sorry, I'm not interested."

"You've misunderstood."

Chen Nian looked at the group and said with a smile, "The so-called melee means that I am fighting against the three of you."
