Chapter 143 Losing Face
After their first victory in the two-person martial arts competition, Tao Tao and Song Chaofeng were able to continue participating in the subsequent competitions. Fortunately, they were lucky and did not encounter any particularly strong opponents. They won several consecutive matches and ended the two-person martial arts competition.
As a result, Tao Tao's points quickly rose to the top five, and her emergence became the focus of attention for all the major sects.
As for Ye Lan, whom Tao Tao had been wanting to meet, he hadn't met her yet. It seemed that after Ye Lan got enough points, she stopped participating in the two-person competition and went straight to the Class A competition, since Class A had higher points and stronger opponents.
"The two-person duel is over. What are your plans now?" Having won several times in a row, Song Chaofeng had also accumulated a lot of points. His biggest fear at the time was encountering the top-ranked monsters, but fortunately, he was lucky enough not to run into any of them.
For Song Chaofeng, having so many points was already quite good; he was sure he could give his master an explanation when he got back.
Tao Tao didn't have any plans for the future. She only wanted to get third place. After the doubles competition, there would be the A and B level competitions. Currently, she could participate in the B level and then move up.
If she doesn't reach the top tier soon, the third-place player's points will continue to grow, making it difficult for her to catch up.
"The competition continues, and I'm still far behind in points. The third-place finisher's points keep increasing. If I pause even slightly, he'll be way ahead of me," Tao Tao said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Song Chaofeng sighed slightly. "It seems you'll have to try your luck at the top tier. But the opponents you encounter will become increasingly powerful. Be careful, as this time there are not only the seven major sects and immortal cultivation families, but also some overseas rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators. Many of them don't have any martial ethics, so be careful of them using dirty tricks."
"I understand, Senior Brother, don't worry." Tao Tao grinned, not caring at all. Anyway, her master had taught her that if she encountered someone powerful, she should just surrender, it wasn't shameful.
Afterwards, Tao Tao went directly to the Class B martial arts competition. As expected, the arena was full of experts, most of whom had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and many of them were obviously hiding their strength, so it was impossible to tell how powerful they were on the surface.
Of course, Tao Tao is the same. She is currently showing the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage. She has not revealed much information before, and the people investigating her still do not know what kind of magic weapon Tao Tao is using.
The waiting area of the Class B martial arts arena was noticeably more serious than the other arenas. No one spoke as soon as they entered; everyone was resting with their eyes closed, showing absolutely no interest in the people who came in.
The rules of the arena are mostly the same: the winner gets points, and the loser loses some points.
Therefore, Tao Tao didn't pay much attention to the rules. He quietly found a place to sit down and, like the others, began to close his eyes and rest.
Her cultivation has improved significantly recently, and she is in excellent condition. When participating in the Class B martial arts competition, she is practically invincible unless she encounters an extremely powerful opponent.
However, after what happened before, Tao Tao also knew that she needed to keep a low profile, otherwise she would become the target of everyone's criticism. Originally, not many people paid attention to her, but because of her previous winning streak, many people were trying to find out about her, which was not a good thing.
So Tao Tao decided to lose a few games here, as long as he had enough points to get into the top division.
"You actually made it into the Class B competition?"
A familiar voice came, and it was clear from the sound that the person was up to no good. Tao Tao didn't even open his eyes, pretending not to hear it. Sun Lian, who was being ignored, was furious and slapped Tao Tao on the head, but was stopped by a handsome young man.
“If you want to have a martial arts duel, you should naturally go to the arena. This is the waiting area. It’s not proper to fight here.” The elegant young man chuckled and snapped open his folding fan. It was this iron folding fan that had just blocked Sun Lian.
Sun Lian turned to look at the young master, his tone very sharp, "What's it to you? This is an internal matter of our Yanhan Sect, it's none of your business as an outsider."
"I simply can't stand some people who bully the weak."
"So it seems you're deliberately trying to oppose me?"
Looking at this young master, Sun Lian's face grew increasingly ugly. He was, after all, a young master of the Sun family. When did it become the place for this pretty boy to look down on him?
Sensing Sun Lian's anger, Tao Tao didn't want to involve others, so she opened her eyes, glanced around, and finally fixed her gaze on Sun Lian, sweetly calling out, "Senior Brother."
Unexpectedly, Tao Tao did something like this, which completely stunned Sun Lian. He said irritably, "Don't pretend. If you know you're scared, then you should behave yourself and listen to me, otherwise..."
"How come you're here, Senior Brother? This is a Class B martial arts arena. Logically speaking, with your strength, you shouldn't be here." However, Tao Tao's next words enraged Sun Lian. He didn't expect Tao Tao to dare to say such a thing. He was so angry that he clenched his fist and threw it at Tao Tao. However, Tao Tao sat there without moving. When the fist was about to hit her nose, it was blocked by a powerful force.
What's going on? Sun Lian looked at Tao Tao with a puzzled expression. She hadn't moved at all, and hadn't even used any magic weapons. How could she have such a powerful force blocking him?
The key is that with this power present, he couldn't even pull his fist back, clearly indicating that Tao Tao's strength was superior to his.
"You!" Sun Lian refused to believe it. Tao Tao's cultivation was below his at first, how could she possibly surpass him in such a short time? Besides, because he had the support of his family, his resources were many times better than Tao Tao's. How could she possibly make such rapid progress?
Tao Tao asked with a blank look, "What's wrong, Senior Brother? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
She deliberately put on that innocent expression, which infuriated Sun Lian so much that he channeled all his strength into his fists. No matter what, he absolutely could not let a little monster bully him.
However, at the same time he shifted his power, Tao Tao's eyes flickered, and the power that had been restraining Sun Lian suddenly turned around, causing Sun Lian to fall violently to the side with a "bang." Sun Lian crashed into the wooden stool and fell flat on his face.
The commotion was quite loud, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present. They all opened their eyes and looked over, taking in Sun Lian's disheveled appearance.
"Young Master, are you alright?" His subordinates rushed over to help him up. Sun Lian stood up, intending to lash out, but then realized he was being stared at by so many people, and instantly lost face. He glared fiercely at Tao Tao and roared, "We'll see you in the arena!"
After saying this, Sun Lian was helped away from the waiting area by his subordinates.
The young master standing to the side was slightly surprised by this scene. He thought Tao Tao was an easy target and wanted to play the hero and save the beauty. He didn't expect him to be so powerful. He had really misjudged him.
"It seems I've gone to unnecessary trouble. The beauty doesn't need me to do anything; I can handle her perfectly well."
