Chapter 977: Nine hundred seventy-five, Competition (8)
He Linping lay on the ground, utterly unwilling to move. He had thought his chances of winning were high since his cultivation seemed to be on par with his opponent’s, but in the end, he failed to withstand even the duration of an incense stick in his opponent’s hands. He had tried so hard for so long, staking everything on this competition, only to face such a cruel outcome.
"Big Senior Brother!" Disciples from Liangyi Sect hurried forward to help the fallen He Linping.
With a look of utter dejection, He Linping let the two disciples assist him towards the resting area, casting a glance at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo as he passed by before quickly lowering his head. Just two days ago, he was looking down on Lu Hanmo while priding himself on being the Big Senior Brother; it was only after this match that he realized just how wide the gap between him and Lu Hanmo was.
The competition on the stage began again, with a disciple from one of the Top Ten Sects, Nine Stars Observatory, leaping up to challenge a disciple from the Magpie Mountain Sect.
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, hearing the cheering and applause from the competition stage not far away, turned to look and saw Leng Yihan, whom they had spoken to before, stepping onto the stage.
Leng Yihan is a core disciple of Sacred Heavenly Gate, and almost no one in the Sea Realm does not know who he is. The commotion caused by his appearance was naturally significant.
Especially among the female cultivators, who screamed loudly when they saw Leng Yihan take the field, with some even confessing their love on the spot. In such a setting, no one paid attention to the sincerity of their declarations, as all eyes were fixed on Leng Yihan.
"Senior Brother Leng, you’re so handsome! I really like you!"
