Seeing this, Wang Fugui chose to refuse without hesitation.
He didn't refuse to give his master face, but because he genuinely felt that Xu Mu was too fierce.
After Wang Fugui's refusal, Xu Mu temporarily stepped down, and a new opponent was selected for Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui didn't refuse his next opponent and won easily.
In the next match, Xu Mu's name was drawn again, and his opponent turned out to be Shui Lingxi of the Hanxian Sect.
When Xu Mu saw this female lead for the first time, he was somewhat surprised.
She looked to be only fifteen or sixteen, but her strength had already reached the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.
This girl was indeed a genius. It was just a pity that her Destiny Level wasn't high enough to make it to the end with Ye Chen.
Seeing her name appear on the board, Shui Lingxi looked a bit surprised.
"Eldest Martial Sister, I'm actually fighting this Xu Mu."
"Lingxi, refuse the match. You are indeed a genius with talent even above mine, but right now, you probably aren't his match."
Bai Qingyuan said calmly from the side.
"Eldest Martial Sister, you said it yourself that I 'probably' aren't his match. Doesn't that mean you aren't sure either?"
Shui Lingxi smiled and walked toward the arena. "I also want to see just how strong this Xu Mu really is."
Bai Qingyuan initially wanted to say something but ended up swallowing her words.
She respected everyone's choices. Besides, Shui Lingxi was still young, and the Sect Master had sent her here this time purely for experience.
They never expected her to get a ranking anyway, so letting her test Xu Mu's true level was fine too.
Meanwhile.
In the arena, both contestants were already in position.
Shui Lingxi looked at Xu Mu. "Big brother, you have to be careful. Although my realm isn't high, the grade of my cultivation technique is very formidable."
Below the stage, Dai Xingluo narrowed her eyes. "Who does this wretched woman think she is? Is 'big brother' something you can call him?"
Boom!
Shui Lingxi stomped her foot on the ground, and a pool of water surfaced across the entire arena floor.
The water splashed upward, transforming into countless ice spikes.
These densely packed ice spikes all pointed at Xu Mu, covering more than half of the competition grounds.
With so many ice spikes, dodging was entirely impossible.
The audience outside the arena was shocked beyond words upon seeing this scene.
The competition had been going on for a while, and although many Grandmaster-level battles had unleashed power that covered the whole arena.
That was only the aftermath of the explosion caused by the collision of both sides' powers.
This time was different. It wasn't an explosion; the attack covered more than half the arena right from the start.
High up in the white clouds.
Jiang Sheng turned his gaze to Ding Hong. "Elder Ding, your Hanxian Sect has truly found a treasure. To possess so much Qi at such a young age."
Ding Hong also smiled. "This girl, Shui Lingxi, is indeed a heaven-sent genius. She was born for cultivation, and her innate Qi far exceeds that of ordinary people."
The sect masters of the other surrounding sects grew solemn upon hearing this.
This girl was still young and had a long future ahead. If her talent was even greater than Bai Qingyuan's.
Then she might be able to take the number one spot in the future, which would be terrifying.
If the champion of future martial tournaments didn't belong to the Five Great Sects but to another sect, where would they put their faces?
"Big brother, it's still not too late for you to concede."
Shui Lingxi said as she looked at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu felt the power and realized this girl was indeed not simple.
Both being at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, he even felt that Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo might not necessarily be able to defeat her.
"Just make your move. The word 'concede' is not in my dictionary."
Xu Mu said to Shui Lingxi.
"Then don't blame me!"
Shui Lingxi clenched her fists tightly, and countless ice spikes shot toward Xu Mu from all directions.
Shattered ice fragments continuously exploded, eventually turning into a large cloud of white mist that completely enveloped Xu Mu.
Even so, an endless stream of ice spikes kept flying toward Xu Mu's position.
"It should be over, right? With so many attacks, even if one just leaves a bruise, this many ice spikes is enough to be fatal."
"Not necessarily! Look, the surrounding elders haven't intervened yet, proving he hasn't lost."
...
Right at this moment, something beyond everyone's expectations occurred.
A figure was seen walking out of the white mist.
With his hands in his pockets, Xu Mu strolled casually toward Shui Lingxi.
After striking Xu Mu, the ice spikes all shattered and dissipated, completely failing to harm him in the slightest.
"Impossible!"
Seeing this, Shui Lingxi stepped back in fright.
She continuously waved her hands, and ice spikes kept condensing around her, relentlessly attacking Xu Mu.
But Xu Mu didn't dodge or evade at all, allowing the ice spikes to hit his body. Every step he took stimulated the nerves of countless people.
Suddenly, several consecutive ice spikes shot toward Xu Mu's eyes.
Xu Mu still didn't raise his hands; he just kept his eyes open and took the ice spikes head-on.
Crack!
The ice spikes shattered, turning into water droplets.
"A cool sensation, just like eye drops."
As he spoke, Xu Mu had already arrived in front of Shui Lingxi.
"How could..."
Shui Lingxi's face paled in shock. She could barely accept that his body could withstand the attacks.
But for even his most vulnerable eyes to withstand such an attack...
Shui Lingxi couldn't accept it.
Not only her, but everyone on the Strength Faction's side also couldn't believe it.
Their expressions shifted as if they were looking at a monster.
As a body-refining sect, they were all too familiar with physical techniques.
Every part of the body could be cultivated, except for the eyes.
Yet his eyes actually withstood a Grandmaster-level attack.
"He completely blocked a Grandmaster-level attack with just a small amount of Qi! Is he even human?"
Ning Kai stood up from his chair, gazing at Xu Mu below. "He is simply... a man born for our Strength Faction! Everyone, give me some face and don't fight me for him!"
"Old Ning! Now you're being unreasonable. Xu Mu has his own choices and judgment."
Pan Chenggong said from the side. He too had set his sights on Xu Mu's talent.
How could they surrender such a person to the Strength Faction?
Although the others around didn't speak, they were inwardly unwilling to let Xu Mu go to them.
"Old Pan! You can't beat me! I'm going to give my daughter to Xu Mu to be his wife!"
Ning Kai said flatly. "Your daughter is too old and far less pretty than mine."
"But my granddaughters are pretty! I have three granddaughters in total, what do you have to compare with me?"
Pan Chenggong chuckled and shrugged.
"What's going on? Xu Mu is my granddaughter's fiance!"
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng immediately spoke up.
...
Xu Mu's physique was comprehensive. As long as it was his body, whether it was his eyes or his balls, it would be covered.
A physique value of over two thousand could practically ignore all early-stage Grandmaster attacks.
Unless the opponent had the enhancement of a Heaven-grade cultivation technique.
However, just to be safe, he still released a small amount of Qi around the exterior of his body as a defense.
Xu Mu took his hand out of his pocket and patted the bun on top of Shui Lingxi's head. "Do you concede?"
"I..."
Shui Lingxi's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly. "I concede."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
