Have you heard? Apparently, Cheng Kai defeated Sword Finger Qi Yi in a duel!”
“
What kind of question is that? Sword Finger Qi Yi is a core disciple of the White Tiger Sect! Do you know any other ‘Cheng Kai’s who could be capable of such a feat?”
“
A day had passed since the opening of the Four Symbols Mystic Realm, and there were already a number of participants who had been forced to exit.
Among them, the most surprising news was undoubtedly the one about Crimson Sword Cheng Kai defeating Sword Finger Qi Yi in a direct duel.
An inner disciple defeating a core disciple – this provided a huge boost to the reputation of the Black Tortoise Sect!
At the same time, Cheng Kai was also an anomaly who did not belong to any inner sect faction, so there was no political agenda stopping anyone from feeling proud of his achievement.

At the same time, he was also not surprised by Cheng Kai’s unorthodox way of tackling the Four Symbols Mystic Realm. In fact, most experienced helpers would not be.
After all, Cheng Kai had done the exact same thing in previous years, taking this opportunity solely to challenge participants from the various sects.
Since Cheng Kai had been challenging the others over their gains in the mystic realm, his numerous victories also meant that he had gotten away with a portion of each opponent’s treasures.
In fact, there had been many who simply gave him a portion of their rewards right from the get-go, all to avoid the duel altogether!
Watch the environment.
Watch their posture.
Watch their eyes.
Watch the flow of energy.

A day had passed since the opening of the Four Symbols Mystic Realm.
While the participants were busy exploring the mystic, the helpers back at the sect were also busy going about their tasks.
For the observers, they had already been watching their assigned participants for an entire day, and some of the more inexperienced ones were starting to show obvious signs of fatigue.
That said, this was not Zhao Yunxiao’s first time on the observer team, so Fei Weng was not too worried about him. If anything, his question was more for the sake of just going through the motion.
“
His vitals are healthy, energy expenditure is low, and movement is moderate,” Zhao Yunxiao reported immediately. “It is likely that he is travelling without feeling any immediate threat right now.”
“
“
“
“
They had received a business offer to help Cheng Kai out.
This would not have been too surprising had it been anyone else, but Cheng Kai was someone who did not belong to any of the inner sect factions.
Who could possibly have decided to spend their precious resources on this?

Perhaps a good place to start would be trying to find out who could possibly benefit from Cheng Kai doing well in the Four Symbols Mystic Realm!
“
“
The Bloodtoothed Dragon Alligator was a known monster within the Four Symbols Mystic Realm, with past participants having encountered it on various occasions.
After all, they already knew of its existence and understood that no matter how slim, there was still a possibility of encountering it in the mystic realm.
Look, there are some people in front of it!” a party member remarked.
He had thought that the alligator monster was making a beeline towards them, but it would appear that it was actually chasing after another group instead.
These four figures were actually the Yin Yang Sword Sisters of the Flying Swords Hall, together with the Tidal Fairy and some guy from the Origin Lake Sect!
“
“
The Mo Group set off on his cue, rapidly closing the distance between them and the approaching party.
“
Not much further. I can feel the water energy right ahead,” Chen Pingxi replied before letting out a deep frown. “Wait, someone’s coming straight for us!”
It is a group of six,” Zhou Qin added solemnly. “We need to change directions. Otherwise, we will risk getting caught in a pincer!”
No, let’s charge right through. We’ll take care of it!” Ye Yuyang volunteered with a voice as clear as her sister’s. “Let’s go, sis!”
“
“
It might be too late by the time we slowly investigate,” Ye Yuyang answered. “I would rather not take that chance!”
With their bodies airborne and parallel to the ground, the two of them held each other by the left hand while extending their swords with their right hands.
This circle of energy quickly grew larger, expanding to a diameter of about ten metres. At the same time, it started to gain colour – white on one side and black on the other – forming a yin yang symbol.
Wherever it passed, all the trees and branches in its way were completely obliterated without exception!
As expected of the Yin Yang Sword Sisters’ signature combination attack, its destructive power was truly amazing. It did not get boring no matter how many times they saw it!
What the hell?!” San Wanfan widened his eyes in shock as he suddenly realised what was coming straight for them. “Everyone, dodge!”
