191: The martial arts competition begins!

The next day, at the Blackbird Guard mansion plaza, two areas, each dozens of meters wide, were marked off to serve as the arenas for the Martial Arts Competition.

Outside the arenas, crowds were like weaving threads, shoulder to shoulder, countless, with nearly a thousand figures gathered there.

In front of the two arenas, these people consciously divided into two sections.

There were over three hundred Blackbird Guards below the Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard.

As for the Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard martial artists, there were over a hundred of them.

The remaining people were naturally Blackbird Guards maintaining order to prevent any unexpected situations.

In front of the two arenas, a temporarily erected high platform stood majestically, from which everything below could be easily overlooked.

On the high platform, three felt-covered wooden chairs were neatly arranged, with the one in the very center being several times larger than the chairs on either side.

On the right chair, He Yan sat upright like a pine, with a stern face, resembling an unshakeable mountain.

Sitting on the chair, He Yan's peripheral vision occasionally glanced at the main seat.

The chair placed in the very middle was still empty.

Because Lu Xuan had not yet arrived, the Martial Arts Competition could not begin.

The next second, a fleeting, illusory light flashed across the chair.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan was already seated in the main position, then calmly spoke.

"Deputy Envoy He, you may begin!"

From the moment Lu Xuan appeared, everyone below focused their gaze on him.

Those who had not seen Lu Xuan before all showed surprised expressions.

Although they had long known that Mystic Envoy was a young man, they had not expected him to be so young.

Looking at him, Mystic Envoy's age seemed to be younger than theirs.

In the crowd, from the moment Ye Qingxuan saw Lu Xuan, her beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She was the only one among the people here who knew Lu Xuan's identity most clearly.

Who would have thought that in just one month, the young wealthy young master she had encountered would reach this point?

Lu Xuan, the young master of Lu Family Pharmacy, was only one year older than herself.

He had already reached a height she could never achieve in her lifetime.

Is the gap between people really that big?

After a moment of disheartened reflection, Ye Qingxuan.

She remembered what her father had written to her, and fighting spirit reappeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Inner Energy Realm!

I must break through to this realm.

At that time, I will be able to return to Tian Du and personally pay respects to my mother!

And follow in the footsteps of Sister Yanran!

Lu Xuan sat calmly in his chair, seemingly unbothered by the gazes directed at him from below.

However, Lu Xuan did manage to find Ye Qingxuan's position in the crowd.

He had promised Ye Qingxuan's father, and Li Yanran, to take good care of her.

"Hmm, not bad."

Lu Xuan could still discern Ye Qingxuan's martial arts realm with a single glance, even from a distance of over a thousand meters.

Bone Refinement Realm Major Achievement!

In just one month, she had broken through from Refining Flesh Realm Major Achievement to Bone Refinement Realm Major Achievement!

It seems she, like Liang Cheng and Yunqing, also consumed the Great Supplement Pill from the Blackbird Guard.

The Great Supplement Pill is refined from the essence of a large amount of highly nourishing medicinal ingredients.

It has an extraordinary effect on martial artists below the Inner Energy Realm.

With Ye Qingxuan's strength at Bone Refinement Realm Major Achievement, in the competition among martial artists below the Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard.

If nothing unexpected happens, then Ye Qingxuan is sure to win.

Half a day passed in a flash!

The Martial Arts Competition for the Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard had already determined the victors.

The top three people were within Lu Xuan's expectations.

Lu Xuan had met the third and second-ranked individuals when he was in Silver Stone Town.

They were Yao Feng Huangshi's two disciples!

They were at the Refining Marrow Realm Major Achievement.

Hmm, it seems the blood and flesh of those great demons brought a great improvement to these two.

As for the Martial Arts Competition below the Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard, it also entered its final stage.

In the competition area below the arena, only five people remained.

There was one bye slot, meaning the winner would be determined after two matches.

"Ye Qingxuan, Yu Yueru, come to the stage!"

With a command, the names of two contestants were drawn by the referee.

Ye Qingxuan wore a tight-fitting, tailored green dress, as if it were custom-made for her.

Her dark, smooth black hair was tied into a long ponytail with an exquisite ribbon, flowing in the wind, adding a touch of heroic grace.

Standing opposite her was Yu Yueru, whose delicate features held a hint of allure, and whose complexion was fair and smooth, as pure and flawless as fresh snow.

A jet-black robe tightly enveloped Yu Yueru's proud figure, showcasing her perfect and alluring curves to the fullest.

It made one want to take a few more glances.

However, He Yan, who had been sitting silently on the high platform, frowned slightly and was somewhat surprised when he saw these two individuals.

"How did they end up against each other?"

Ye Qingxuan and Yu Yueru were both at the Bone Refinement Realm Major Achievement, the most promising contenders to win the championship in this competition.

Furthermore, Yu Yueru's identity was that she was the beloved niece of Deputy Envoy Yu Hong, that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow).

For Yu Yueru's martial arts path, Deputy Envoy Yu Hong, that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), had been frugal, using most of his martial arts resources on Yu Yueru.

Therefore, Yu Yueru, at merely 19 years old, was able to break through to the Bone Refinement Realm Major Achievement.

Yu Yueru's alluring eyes lightly swept, and her jade-like small hand gently propped her chin as she spoke lazily.

"Little Qingxuan, this is truly unfortunate!"

After seeing the woman's posture, a serious expression appeared on Ye Qingxuan's cold face.

Regarding Yu Yueru's words, Ye Qingxuan seemed to be used to them, ignoring them completely.

This woman, relying on being a few months older than her, constantly acted as an elder sister, always teasing her.

"Little Qingxuan, don't blame me, older sister."

"This spot is very important to me, older sister, so I won't hold back!"

Ye Qingxuan seemed to be affected by Yu Yueru's arrogance, and she darted forward with several quick steps.

Upon nearing Yu Yueru, Ye Qingxuan unleashed her aura of Bone Refinement Realm Major Achievement.

Ye Qingxuan's right hand tensed, and her soft, fair small hand became as unyielding as a bronze wall and iron fortress at this moment.

Her jade hand, carrying a whistling gale, struck towards Yu Yueru.

Yu Yueru's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and her light pink, moist lips slightly parted, showing no regard for Ye Qingxuan's terrifying palm strike.

"Little Qingxuan, really not bad!"

"Under the cultivation of Sister Yanran, your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds."

As Yu Yueru spoke, her right hand, which had been gently stroking her chin, extended naturally and collided with Ye Qingxuan's palm.
