Purity and Wang Yu both had extraordinary backgrounds and thus had a unique temperament within them. Additionally, as martial artists, there was an innate confidence in their actions, and add on the fact that Purity was extremely attractive to begin with, from the looks of it, Purity was simply flawless in the eyes of others.

For such an exceptional lady, no one would have been able to guess how she would fare in an actual fight. However, her previous performance had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Furthermore, Purity was a haughty and proud woman. The indifferent expression that she revealed upon instant killing her opponent immediately captured the hearts of tens of thousands of men and women in the audience.

“This lady is too dashing, I want her to be mine!”

Everyone in the audience was extremely excited, looking at the Purity who was still standing indifferently on the stage of the arena.

“Pei!” Upon seeing the audience’s reaction, Fearless spit in disdain.

However, when he recalled the tragic scene of Purity eliminating her opponent with such a cruel hand, a chill involuntarily ran down his spine.

Only someone as ruthless as Wang Yu would be able to tame such a woman.

Just when everyone was still fervently discussing the previous battle, the second opponent had already been sent to the gladiator ring.

Given Purity’s skills, apart from Wang Yu, it could be said that she was unmatched in her generation. Furthermore, the Li Family’s martial arts were more suited for virtual games too.

In the game, there were only a countable few that were able to defeat Purity in a 1v1 scenario.

Thus, the outcome of the next match was as expected.

After a round of exchange, Purity’s opponent was once again flung out of the ring.

The third match…

The fourth match…

The fifth match…

The following three players didn’t fare any better than the previous two. They all charged towards Purity the moment the countdown ended, and in the blink of an eye, they were all stabbed to death…

From the start till the end, Purity’s expression remained unchanged, seeming as if the deaths of the previous five opponents had nothing to do with her at all.

The atmosphere of the arena was at its peak, and the audience was in an uproar.

“Cold… Cold Winter Spear!!”

It was unknown just who started shouting this nickname, but shortly after, everyone started fervently chanting the nickname of the goddess on stage.

“Cold Winter Spear, Cold Winter Spear!”

…

If a person didn’t know any better, he would have thought that a celebrity had arrived on stage.

Even everyone from Quan Zhen Sect was looking incredulously at Wang Yu, Yang Nuo and Evil Rampage, and exclaimed, “This chick is too overbearing! Which one of you will deal with her later on?”

“…”

When Yang Nuo and Evil Rampage heard this, they both turned and looked at Wang Yu’s direction.

Clearly, both of them knew that there was a large gap between their skills and that of Purity’s.

Wang Yu fondled his chin, coolly smiled and said, “This lady’s improvements are rather impressive… seems like she had put in the hard work.”

“Even you can’t defeat her?” Everyone gasped in shock.

“What nonsense are you all saying?” Wang Yu shamelessly remarked, “Didn’t I say it before? If hard work was all it took, what’s the point of having talent in the first place?”

“Eh…” Everyone’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

With Purity’s momentum, not only did she shock the audience in the arena, she had frightened the enemy team as well. At this moment, the morale of the enemy team was extremely low. Even if they were to forcefully drag out the match, the ending would still be tragic.

Thus, the moment the second round ended, the opponent immediately surrendered.

Following the surrender, Team A Murder of Crows and Team Pugilists Don’t Cry both successfully advanced on to the next round.

One was weird while the other was overwhelmingly strong, however, both had left a deep impression on the audience.

The following few teams that went up on stage were relatively ordinary in comparison with these two.

All of the teams fought according to the rules and nothing extraordinary happened in the subsequent few battles. Even though nothing remarkable happened, technique- and skills-wise, the teams that were able to make it into the professional scene weren’t ordinary either. At the end of the day however, a casual team was still a casual team and could not be compared to those professional teams.

The matches continued from 10 am in the morning till 3:30 pm in the afternoon. Excluding the lunch break, the matches have been continuously fought for close to five over hours. With the conclusion of the battles of these casual teams, there was a total of eight teams that managed to make it to the next round, including the lucky team that did not have to partake in any battles this round, wrapping up the first day of the competition.

After exiting the arena, Wang Yu and the rest were just about to return back to their hotel to rest when Boson’s gaze fell upon the figure of someone a distant away. With a blank expression, he called out, “Xing, Xing Zhu?”

“???”

“What pig?” (‘zhu’ is pig in Chinese) When everyone heard what Boson said, they all looked at Boson with a confused expression and muttered in their hearts, “What is wrong with this guy?”

Fearless, on the other hand, followed Boson’s gaze and looked at the figure a distant away. When he realised what Boson was looking at, the expression on his face turned ugly, “It’s not a pig, it’s Xing Zhu! Surely you guys know of Yuan Xing Zhu? The character from one of the author Jing Tang’s novels.”

Shortly after, Fearless added in a dissatisfied manner, “What is this chick doing here?”

“What happened?”

Upon hearing Fearless’ explanation, everyone’s expression became even more confused, could it be Boson’s ex-girlfriend?

Just when everyone was racking their brains to figure out what was going on, a voice rang out a distance away, “Boson, is that you?”

Everyone’s gaze followed the direction of the voice, only to see an elegant lady with silky long hair waving towards Boson.

Upon hearing this voice, Boson’s figure jolted upright. His body shivered as he said, “It’s… it’s me.”

“Seems like it’s really his ex-girlfriend…”

Upon seeing this scene, everyone retreated behind Boson. They opened their eyes and braced their ears, seeming as if they were all ready to hear some gossipy news.

At this moment, the lady pulled along a dashing and tall man wearing a tuxedo and walked over.

“Aiya…”

Upon seeing the hunk following behind the lady called Xing Zhu, everyone couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. The current Boson was wearing a set of martial arts clothing, and simply couldn’t be compared in terms of appearance with the dashing young man in a suit.

When the lady arrived in front of everyone, Xing Zhu revealed a bright smile and said sweetly, “The one in the competition today was really you! Seeing you dressed like this, I almost couldn’t recognise you at all. This outfit is really interesting to look at.”

“Hmm…”

Upon hearing Xing Zhu’s words, the expressions of everyone from Quan Zhen Sect turned black instantly.

Even though this lady seemed harmless, the words that she said were so vicious. It was clear that she wanted to embarrass Boson in front of her current boyfriend.

“Er… it was given by the sponsors, we have no choice but to wear it,” Boson nervously replied.

“Oh?” The lady named Xing Zhu raised her eyebrows as she looked at the rest from Quan Zhen Sect and said, “Even your casual team is able to receive sponsorship? What’s their brand?”

“F*ck!”

At this moment, everyone from Quan Zhen Sect could tell that this lady was simply here to create trouble.

“We… we are just playing around.”

In response to Xing Zhu’s condescending words, Boson could only stammer in reply.

Upon seeing his own brother getting talked down upon, Fearless couldn’t continue watching on any further. He took the initiative and said, “Little Zhu, I thought you went abroad? Since when did you come back?”

“Seems like brother Fearless is here as well.” Upon hearing Fearless’ words, Xing Zhu hurriedly replied, seeming a little surprised.

The expressions of everyone from Quan Zhen Sect became extremely gloomy. They conversed amongst themselves and said, “F*ck, her acting is too fake. Fearless was standing beside Boson all these while and she pretended not to have seen him. Is she blind?”

“En! Upon hearing that you were here, I instantly teleported here,” Fearless bantered with her for a moment, before adding, “Isn’t the air overseas much fresher and sweeter compared to here? Why have you decided to come back?”
