C201 They Were All Trash!
Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the day Water Moon Hall held the spouse finding martial competition.
It was only early in the morning when the Water Moon Hall's main hall was already packed with people. The entire main hall was packed to the point that not even a drop of water could leak out.
There were two enormous arenas in the main hall. At this time, Green Lotus and Gao Yuling were standing on top, looking around the crowd as if they were looking for someone.
Mu Mercury floated in midair, looking down at the crowd with a slight frown on his face. His expression seemed a little gloomy.
"It's almost time. Participants, get ready. The Joust For A Spouse Festival will officially begin in another hour." Mu Mercury looked at Green Lotus and Gao Yuling on the arena stage and said.
The two women raised their heads to look at Mu Mercury. Anxiety appeared on their faces, because they had yet to discover Ye Hongtian's figure.
If Ye Hongtian had yet to arrive in an hour, it would be equivalent to him forfeiting. Even if Ye Hongtian came later, it would be impossible for him to allow Ye Hongtian to join in midway.
Time passed very quickly. The two women had never felt time pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were only five minutes left. However, Ye Hongtian's figure was still nowhere to be seen in the hall.
The noise in the hall gradually calmed down. The contestants in the crowd began to rub their hands together. They looked at the two rings in the hall with fighting spirit.
On the arenas, Green Lotus and Gao Yuling saw that Ye Hong Tian had yet to arrive. Instead, they heaved a sigh of relief. However, they were also a bit disappointed. This was a very contradictory emotion.
They were relieved because if Ye Hong Tian did not come to participate in the Joust For A Spouse Festival, he did not need to make a choice. He also did not need to face those powerhouses who participated in the Joust For A Spouse Festival.
They were disappointed because Ye Hong Tian did not come. Then, they did not know who was more important in Ye Hong Tian's heart.
The two women looked at each other. They seemed to have seen through each other's thoughts. Both of them had bitter smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Mu Mercury, which was floating above the crowd, slowly landed in the middle of the two arenas. It scanned the crowd with a gloomy expression.
The people in the hall shivered when they sensed Mercury's gaze sweeping past them. They had long heard that Mercury's Fairy Mu was gentle and approachable, but now, it seemed like it was completely different from what they had heard.
"I think the participants are almost ready. No one is allowed to join the Joust For A Spouse Festival ever since I announced the start of the Joust For A Spouse Festival." Mu Mercury looked at the crowd with a slightly angry expression and shouted.
"I declare! Martial arts competition begins..."
"Stop! Wait a minute! Call me slowly!"
A voice echoed through the hall from the entrance, interrupting Mu Mercury. The crowd couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the source of the voice.
They saw a disciple dressed in Blackheaven Sect's inner sect disciple uniform standing there. When he saw everyone looking back at him, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me who shouted."
Everyone in the hall had puzzled looks on their faces. They had clearly heard the voice coming from the inner sect disciple's position, but he had said it wasn't him. What was going on?
At this moment, a handsome young man who wasn't wearing the uniform of Blackheaven Sect strangely appeared behind the inner disciple. He held his knees with both hands and panted heavily.
The appearance of this young man didn't make anyone feel strange. It was as if he had been standing there the whole time, but no one had noticed him.
"It... It was me who shouted it. Aiyo. I'm so tired. Sixth Elder, I can't do it without me in this Joust For A Spouse Festival! How could you announce the start? Fortunately, I rushed over in the end. It's alright, it's alright. " The handsome young man raised his head and smiled at Mu Mercury.
The appearance of the young man caused Blue Lotus and Gao Yuling, who were on the arena stage, to reveal looks of pleasant surprise on their faces. However, it soon turned into worry. They turned their heads and looked at Mu Mercury with pleading expressions.
Mu Mercury ignored the pleading gazes of his two precious disciples. He glared fiercely at the young man in the crowd. The young man couldn't help but shrink his neck when Mu Mercury stared at him.
"Ye Hongtian! Logically speaking, you have already passed the time needed to participate in this Joust For A Spouse Festival. However, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with this. Hurry up and prepare. The Joust For A Spouse Festival has officially begun! " Mu Mercury stared angrily at Ye Hong Tian and shouted.
When everyone in the hall heard this, they were stunned on the spot. When Ye Hongtian heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
If this could be considered to be in a good mood, then what would you usually be like when you were in a normal mood? What would you look like when you are angry? Is this the legendary gentle and approachable personality?
"Thank you, Sixth Elder!" Ye Hongtian cupped his fists and said with a lowered head.
After saying that, he hurriedly spread his wings and flew to Mu Mercury's side. Once he spread his wings, it immediately attracted many envious gazes. Who didn't want to have a pair of wings before reaching the True Essence Mirror?2
If a martial artist wanted to fly in the air, they either wanted to reach the true essence mirror or refine their wings. But wings were not so easy to refine. Even with the support of large clans and large sects, the success rate of refining wings was very low.
After flying to Mu Mercury's side, Ye Hongtian began to move his limbs, looking as if he was ready to fight. Everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he was doing at all.
"Ye Hongtian, what do you want to do?" Mu Mercury asked with a frown.
Ye Hongtian seemed to have suddenly thought of something when he heard Mu Mercury's question. He cupped his fists and bowed apologetically to Mu Mercury.
"I forgot to mention that I'm preparing to face all the participants alone in this Joust For A Spouse Festival." Ye Hongtian scratched his head and said indifferently.
The entire hall fell into silence the moment he said that. Everyone looked at Ye Hongtian, who was beside Mu Mercury, with disbelief written all over their faces.
Mu Mercury looked at Ye Hongtian as if he was looking at a madman. Then, he thought of something and sized Ye Hongtian up. He snorted coldly.
"Just because you broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement? Do you think that you can defeat all the participants at the eighth level of Qi Refinement? There are more than a hundred participants this time. Do you think you can fight a hundred alone? "
" You should know that there are quite a number of participants at the fifth level of the Void Origin Stage among the participants this time. The gap between you is close to a large boundary. When you boast, it depends on the occasion! "
Mu Mercury looked at Ye Hongtian with a face full of contempt. Although as an elder, he naturally already knew about Ye Hongtian killing the sect's spies, that could only prove that Ye Hongtian could kill a Third Level Void Elementals martial artist with a cultivation of the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
But now, Ye Hongtian wanted to solo all the participants alone, and there were even several Fifth Level Void Origin Stage martial artists among them. Even if Ye Hongtian broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, that would still be impossible.
"I'll speak frankly if you're angry. Although the people participating in the Joust For A Spouse Festival this time are all inner sect disciples of the Blackheaven Sect, these people are all trash in front of me. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
