Quick Wear: Heaven Always Favors Me

After the dark spiritual power enveloped the arena, Jiang Yao felt the spiritual power around her being slowly absorbed.

The dark spiritual roots were somewhat unexpected, but Jiang Yao didn’t think Mu Ze could defeat her.

She drew her sword from its sheath, tapped the ground with her toes, and rushed towards Mu Ze. Her speed was so fast that the disciples below the stage could only see a shadow.

Mu Ze was not in a hurry and immersed himself in the spiritual barrier behind him.

Jiang Yao slashed at the dark spiritual power with a knife, directly creating a gap in the barrier constructed by the spiritual power, but the dark spiritual power quickly filled the gap and also devoured some of Jiang Yao's spiritual power.

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. Mu Ze actually integrated his spiritual power into the formation.

She remembered that Mu Ze became a disciple of Xiu Mingxing Jun who was good at formations. Xiu Mingxing Jun's cultivation was not high, but his ranking among the star gods was not low. It was said that his superb formation skills made several star gods confused.

While Jiang Yao was still thinking, the spiritual barrier behind her cracked silently, and Mu Ze was about to stab her with a dagger in his hand.

With a "clang" sound, Jiang Yao used her knife to block Mu Ze's dagger. A large amount of spiritual power burst out from the Golden Dragon Knife, which actually made Mu Ze's hand slightly numb.

It seemed that Jiang Yao's cultivation was higher than his. Mu Ze's eyes dimmed. He had no intention of confronting Jiang Yao head-on. He quickly immersed himself in the spiritual power barrier again and disappeared.

Jiang Yao felt that some of the spiritual power she had placed on the Golden Dragon Sword had been absorbed by Mu Ze. But this was just as she wanted. She could feel the flow of her spiritual power and quickly found Mu Ze's location.

She gathered energy in her dantian, and the golden dragon sword in her hand hummed due to the rapid influx of spiritual power. With a spun, Jiang Yao stabbed the golden dragon sword straight into the spiritual power barrier.

After Jiang Yao's knife pierced the spiritual barrier, a figure quickly emerged from her side.

The disciples below the ring widened their eyes when they saw this. They originally thought that the place where Jiang Yao chopped was where Mu Ze was hiding, but now it seems that Jiang Yao had chopped the wrong place?

"I thought Senior Sister Jiang would kill me with one strike, but I didn't expect her to just chop me randomly."

"It seems that Senior Sister Jiang may not win this competition."

"Ah? I just bet on Senior Sister Jiang to win, and now Senior Sister Jiang is going to lose?" Some of the disciples who participated in the gambling game looked confused.

When the disciples below the ring saw Mu Ze stabbing at Jiang Yao with a dagger in his hand, they subconsciously thought that Jiang Yao was going to be eliminated.

But the Star Lords all noticed something was wrong. Among them, Mu Ze's master, Xiu Ming Star Lord, a young man with long hair and a decadent face, widened his eyes when he saw the place where Jiang Yao cut down: "How is it possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the barrier constructed by dark spiritual power shattered, and Mu Ze's figure was exposed in mid-air. However, Mu Ze was too close to Jiang Yao at this time, and it was almost impossible for Jiang Yao to dodge at this distance.

At this moment, a dark purple light appeared around Jiang Yao. As soon as Mu Ze's dagger touched the purple light, it was bounced back.

Except for Murong Zhao, everyone looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief.

The dark purple protective spiritual energy was the proof of the thunder spiritual root. If this had shocked everyone, then what surprised them even more was that Jiang Yao, who was able to easily defeat Lu Qian, was only in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Senior Sister Jiang actually has the Thunder Spiritual Root. Who taught her the third Spiritual Root before? The difference between these two is too big!"

"No wonder Senior Sister Jiang is so powerful, it turns out she has a mutated lightning root."

"When the sect competition comes, the three mutant single spiritual roots of our Wuji Sect will definitely stand out!"

Although the disciples were shocked, they also felt that it was expected.

The most surprising thing was Xuanyuan Li. He stood up almost uncontrollably and walked to the edge of the high platform. His mask of calmness and self-control seemed to be shattered, and he was no longer as calm as before.

Even Lu Qingyao could feel his leaking emotions. She had never seen Xuanyuan Li like this before. Panic, uneasiness and worry should not appear on Xuanyuan Li's face.

Lu Qingyao looked at Jiang Yao, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed her emotions.

Lu Qingyao looked up at Xuanyuan Li worriedly, bit her lip and said, "Master, I will defeat Senior Sister Jiang and win the championship."

Xuanyuan Li seemed to not hear her words at all. He just stared blankly at the audience without any reaction.

After Jiang Yao's protective spiritual energy blocked Mu Ze's dagger, she quickly turned around and placed the Golden Dragon Sword against Mu Ze's neck. Just a millimeter away, a blood line would be left on his neck.

Mu Ze looked at Jiang Yao's face for a few times, lowered his arms in frustration and said, "I lost."

Jiang Yao nodded slightly, and with a nimble turn of her wrist sheathed the Golden Dragon Sword.

The formation of the arena was closed, and Jiang Yao came down from the arena and received admiring glances from all the inner disciples.

Murong Zhao received envious looks from other star gods. After all, based on Jiang Yao's strength, she was the undisputed winner of the inner sect competition.

Moreover, Jiang Yao had taken over all sect affairs of Xuyang Peak a few years ago, so Murong Zhao only needed to be a hands-off manager, unlike them who had to manage all affairs of the peak while teaching disciples.

They also wanted to be like Murong Zhao, to accept a talented disciple, and from then on they would turn a deaf ear to the outside world and only care about eating, drinking and practicing every day.

Jiang Yao had just come down from the ring when a figure quickly landed in front of her. The man wanted to grab Jiang Yao's hand with an enthusiastic look on his face.

But Jiang Yao reacted very quickly and took a step back to avoid the man.

When Jiang Yao saw the person's appearance clearly, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Xiu Mingxing?"

The one who came in front of her was Xiu Mingxingjun, who was proficient in formations. He looked at Jiang Yao with a faint glow in his eyes and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

These words were heard by everyone on the stage and the platform. Murong Zhao almost spit out the peach blossom wine he had just drunk. He didn't even care whether the wine seal was closed or not, and fell directly from the platform, landing accurately in front of Jiang Yao, just blocking Xiu Mingxingjun's eager eyes.

Murong Zhao looked unfriendly and threatened: "You are trying to steal my disciples and now you are trying to steal them from me?"

Xiu Mingxingjun was not afraid when he saw Murong Zhao's dark face. He smiled and said, "I just think it's better for your disciple to learn formations. She is a formation genius and can break the formation with one strike."

As he said that, he wanted to go around to look for Jiang Yao, but Murong Zhao blocked Jiang Yao so tightly that not even a trace of her could be seen.

At this time, Jiang Yao's voice came from behind Murong Zhao: "Thank you for the suggestion, Master Xiumingxing, but I have no intention of changing my master at the moment, so I can only disappoint Master Xingjun's kindness."
