    The disciple representing the Moon Sect allowed a fleeting smile to grace his lips as he channeled his full magical power. A powerful sh of energies ensued, and Lv Zhengyang, brimming with confidence in his imminent victory, found himself abruptly overpowered by his opponent’s magical prowess. With a resounding impact, he was sent sprawling to the ground.


    Gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lv Zhengyang stared incredulously at the unfolding events. He couldn’t fathom what he had just witnessed.


    Had he truly lost?


    After over twenty intense exchanges, it slowly dawned on him the realm he was in. He had harbored unwavering certainty in his ability to emerge victorious, but now that conviction had crumbled.


    Lv Zhengyang grappled with the bitter reality he couldn’t ept.


    Even the Elder Men from the Supreme Sect were left dumbfounded.


    Throughout the battle, Lv Zhengyang had consistently maintained the upper hand, and it was evident that he outssed them.


    Puzzlement hung heavy in the air. What had just urred?


    The Elder Man from the Supreme Sect was utterly perplexed.


    Gu Chaoyan, however, observed the situation with crystal rity. Under normal circumstances, Lv Zhengyang was undoubtedly the favored contender for victory. His lightning-fast reactions and keen observations were a testament to his skill. But…


    Little did he know that his opponent was a formidable Supreme Warrior, operating on an entirely different ne of prowess. Throughout the duel, the Supreme Warrior had been deliberately suppressing his own cultivation, assuming the role of a Paragon Warrior. It was only in that final, critical move that he unleashed a fraction of his Supreme Warrior abilities—a natural, overwhelming force. Unless Lv Zhengyang had intentionally chosen defeat, victory was never within his grasp.


    Well….


    This situation undoubtedly frustrated Lv Zhengyang.


    He remained entirely meless in this unexpected turn of events.


    Lv Zhengyang had been defeated.


    Consequently, the Supreme Sect needed to nominate another participant to step forward.


    Anxiety began to grip the Elder Men from the Supreme Sect, their eyes darting around as they sought answers from their counterparts in the Fist Sect. “Where is Yuan Jia? Why hasn’t she arrived yet? Has she not achieved a breakthrough?”


    Initially, they hadn’t felt a sense of urgency.


    However, Lv Zhengyang’s sudden defeat had altered thendscape, and Yuan Jia’s presence had now be critically important.


    Even the Elder Man from the Fist Sect felt a creeping unease. Ordinarily, Yuan Jia should have reached the breakthrough long ago.


    “Um…”


    “Will the Supreme Sect continue with thepetition, or are they contemting forfeit?” inquired the disciple from the Moon Sect, his toneced with wild anticipation.


    The decision to continue thepetition was clear, but the absence of any suitable participants cast uncertainty over the proceedings.


    Panic began to take hold within the ranks of the Supreme Sect.


    “I’ll step in,” dered Gu Chaoyan, offering a solution.


    Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s proposal, Elder Lin was taken aback and on the verge of making a decision…


    Elder Man, however, interjected sharply, “You’re merely a Martial God, and you’ve already witnessed Zhengyang’s defeat. This is an affront to our Supreme


    Sect!”


    “Senior Brother Yuan Jia is still absent, and without a participant, we face the prospect of forfeiting thepetition. Which oue would be more humiliating?” Gu Chaoyan retorted, unflinchingly addressing the issue.


    The Moon Sect disciples seized upon this opportunity to provoke.


    Amidst this tension, whispers circted among the Fist Faction disciples.


    “Senior Brother Yuan Jia is still working on her breakthrough.”


    “Um…”


    Yuan Jia remained engrossed in her breakthrough, making her presence at the current location an impossibility.


    It was well-known that individuals in the intermediate stage should not be interrupted during their cultivation. Disruption could cause a dangerous reverse flow of their energy, potentially leading to a catastrophic explosion. Yet, the Supreme Sect found itselfpelled to send forth another candidate.


    What course of action was appropriate in this precarious situation?


    The remaining disciples all fell below the Paragon level.


    Elder Lin encouraged, “Give it a try.”


    She, as a Martial God, would be pitted against a formidable Paragon Warrior. Despite her numerous victories against disciples from various schools, she harbored no illusions about her chances in this particr matchup..
