Previous Champion, Artifact Sect Cloudshine

Name: Shui Lingxi

Identity: Disciple of the Hanxian Sect, Female Lead of "The Dragon King's Descent"

Favorability: 3

Destiny Level: 7 (Max Level 10)

Seeing this information, Xu Mu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to run into a female disciple of the Hanxian Sect, let alone the female lead.

However, her Destiny Level was only seven. There was a high probability that she and Ye Chen only had a brief romance and didn't make it to the end.

In the original plot, Xu Ningbing had once cultivated in the Hanxian Sect.

So perhaps Ye Chen would also have some connection with the Hanxian Sect in the later stages.

However, Xu Mu hadn't finished reading the entire novel; he had only read up to the middle and later stages.

It seemed things would be slightly more troublesome in the future.

But overall, it didn't matter. As long as he knew the other party was a female lead or another key character, figuring out a way to gain favorability with them would be enough.

"Who are you?"

Xu Mu rested his hands behind his head and looked at her indifferently.

"I'm from the Hanxian Sect. My name is Shui Lingxi."

She chuckled and skipped over to Xu Mu's side.

Xu Ningbing, who was just about to leave, looked at this woman in surprise. She hadn't expected her to be from the Hanxian Sect.

Previously, Xu Shou had specifically instructed her, hoping she would enter this very sect.

"The first-tier Hanxian Sect?"

Jiang Huihui said softly from the side.

"So it's a first-tier sect. How is this 'first-tier' judged?"

Xu Mu looked at Jiang Huihui and asked.

"It's still judged based on fifth-tier experts. If the Five Great Sects were to become the Ten Great Sects, then the first-tier sects would be ranked among them."

After Jiang Huihui finished speaking, she blew a bubble.

Xu Mu nodded to himself. To put it bluntly, they just had a few less fifth-tier experts than the Five Great Sects.

Then this sect was indeed quite formidable.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Was it you fighting Huang Dazhuang last night?"

Shui Lingxi came up to Xu Mu and asked curiously.

"That's right, it was me."

Xu Mu nodded gently. "But the other party let me win. He let me hit him for free, and then he fell down."

"The fact that you could knock him down with one punch is enough to prove that your physique is no weaker than his. Which sect are you from?"

Shui Lingxi smiled and sat down next to Xu Mu.

She knew that her eldest senior sister was very interested in this Xu Mu, so she specifically came over to gather information.

"I'm from the Zhengdefaxie Sect. Our sect is very small with few people. You definitely haven't heard of it."

Xu Mu said calmly.

"Zhengdefaxie Sect? Your sect's name is so interesting!"

Shui Lingxi covered her mouth and laughed. "Those big idiots from the Strength Faction are the worst. They always bully other sects. My eldest senior sister is very happy that you taught them a lesson."

"Your eldest senior sister? Bai Qingyuan?"

Jiang Huihui asked from the side.

"That's right."

Shui Lingxi nodded.

"She's a big shot. In the last Martial Supremacy Tournament, she won third place."

Jiang Huihui sighed softly.

"It seems this sect is indeed formidable. They aren't one of the Five Great Sects, yet they managed to rank third."

Xu Mu murmured in admiration.

Just then, two women in long dresses came sprinting down from the mountain path high in the distance.

Seeing them, Shui Lingxi immediately stood up and shouted, "Senior sisters! Where are you going?"

"Yun Yao from the Weapon Sect is here!"

"We want to go take a photo with him!"

The two women in the distance looked completely lovestruck, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

"Tch! What's so good to look at."

Shui Lingxi puffed her cheeks and started walking up the mountain. She was going to find her eldest senior sister first.

At this time, Xu Ningbing, Meng Wanyue, and Dai Xingluo all left one after another.

Fu Jinyu also told Xu Mu that she wanted to take a look around nearby. She was very interested in the top-tier sect, Kunlun Mountain.

Only Tong Guoguo and Jiang Huihui were left by Xu Mu's side.

He continued to lie on the grass, using his hand to block the glaring sunlight. "Who is the Yun Yao they just mentioned?"

"The undisputed genius of the Weapon Sect, the champion of the last Martial Supremacy Tournament. And yet, he just turned thirty this year."

Tong Guoguo took an apple out of her spatial ring, took a bite, and said.

"So he's number one. No wonder he's so popular."

Xu Mu chuckled lightly.

"Mainly because he's handsome."

Jiang Huihui said from the side.

"Is he as handsome as me?"

Xu Mu looked at Jiang Huihui and asked.

Jiang Huihui rolled her eyes. "You're the most handsome."

Xu Mu stretched vigorously and asked with a smile, "Who was second place?"

"Second place was Jiang Cisui from Kunlun Mountain. The strength of the two was very close, but in the end, he fell short by one move."

Tong Guoguo explained, "I watched the whole competition last time."

"I see."

Xu Mu nodded gently.

During this time, Xu Mu asked the two of them for more information about Kunlun Mountain and the Martial Supremacy Tournament.

For example, among the Five Great Sects, the other four sects all had a primary focus.

Shennong Tripod focused on alchemy, improving their sect's strength by earning remuneration.

The Weapon Sect focused on weapons; the sect's experts were all weapon masters.

The Strength Faction focused on body tempering, relying on their physical physique to fight.

The Spirit Hall focused on Daoist magic, especially mental attacks, which were extremely formidable.

But Kunlun Mountain was a jack of all trades. They had body temperers, weapon users, as well as Daoist magic and alchemy.

Xu Mu could hardly wait to meet these top experts of the younger generation.

Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Someone is coming, and it looks like he's very popular."

Tong Guoguo stood up from the grass. She had always been curious; her cultivation realm was clearly much higher than Xu Mu's.

But Xu Mu's perception range seemed to be even stronger than hers.

After a short while, a man wearing a dark red martial arts outfit walked up from the bottom of the mountain. A long sword hung at his waist.

This man had long black hair, and beneath his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes were very profound.

It had to be said, he was a handsome man with a classic traditional charm.

At this time, he was surrounded by a great number of people, most of whom were women.

These women were all holding their phones, clamoring over there.

"Yun Yao! Can we take a photo together? My whole family loves you!"

"Yun Yao, I love you! Can I be your concubine? Even the lowest-ranking one is fine!"

...

"Haha, apologies, my apologies everyone."

Yun Yao smiled and spoke to the surrounding crowd, his behavior and mannerisms extremely elegant.

"Xu Mu, that's Yun Yao."

Jiang Huihui suddenly looked at Xu Mu. "Who do you think is more handsome between the two of you?"

"I actually think Xu Mu is more handsome."

Tong Guoguo said as she looked at Yun Yao in the distance.

"Guoguo's aesthetic taste is flawless."

Xu Mu smiled and looked at Yun Yao in the distance, inspecting him through his Eye of God.

Name: Yun Yao

Identity: Disciple of the Weapon Sect

Favorability: 0

Destiny Level: 7 (Max Level 10)

Seeing this Destiny Level, Xu Mu nodded inwardly. As expected of a genius figure; even without being connected to the protagonist, his Destiny Level was still on par with an ordinary female lead.

Yun Yao merely swept a glance toward Xu Mu's direction before heading straight up the mountain.

"Hehe, is this a big shot? The vibe he gives off is indeed different."

Xu Mu only revealed a smile after seeing him leave.

"I actually feel like you are their strictest father."

Tong Guoguo looked at Xu Mu. "That is, assuming you got serious."

"Guoguo, do you have a favor to ask of me? Why have you been flattering me all day today?"

Xu Mu smiled at Tong Guoguo.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Tong Guoguo had never witnessed Xu Mu's true strength, but she was well aware of Wang Hun's power.

Anyone capable of repeatedly escaping from Wang Hun's grasp was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.

After all, Wang Hun was a top-tier genius himself. Even at the Realm-Breaking stage, he still possessed the ability to slay opponents above his own realm.

"Brother Xu Mu!"

Right at that moment, another young man with a longsword strapped to his back appeared in the distance, jogging over with a smile on his face.
