The light ball that slowly rose from the array and flew out in a stream of light wasn’t that conspicuous, but Di Shi Tian didn’t dare be careless.
He immediately sacrificed a high-level Saint treasure to resist, and then quickly evaded.
However, the speed of the light ball was too fast and it even incorporated a hint of the wind element that Lou Mu Yan only just comprehended, so after Di Shi Tian’s shield resisted most of the power, the light ball brushed over the shield and struck Di Shi Tian.
As soon as it touched Di Shi Tian’s body, the three coloured light ball quickly turned into a ray of light and struck him hard.
“PU!!” Although Di Shi Tian was a strong Sword Venerable powerhouse, but his body was different to Sword Masters who refine their bodies. Even if only a third of the power struck his body, it would still force him back and spit out a mouthful of blood.
After the three coloured light dissipated, everyone just saw the originally handsome, prideful and unbridled Di Shi Tian clutching his chest, panting in a sorry state, with a trace of undried blood down the corner of his lips.
His clothes were shattered in many places and his hair was loose. It was basically impossible to think he was the same person as the high-spirited number one person of the Outer Sect.
On the other hand, looking at Lou Mu Yan, she revealed a thoughtful gaze on her stunning face, standing in the air, her long black hair tied up high, fluttering in the wind, her appearance like a painting, skin whiter than snow.
She was filled with pride and arrogance and unbridled self-confidence, and also a kind of carefree, otherworldly temperament, just standing there quietly as if a picture scroll, pleasing to the eye.
“Junior Sister Lou, you have won!” Di Shi Tian looked up at the woman standing in the air, and a hint of pleasant amazement appeared in his eyes. Then he curbed his emotions and smiled bitterly.
He was destined to be extraordinary from the moment he was born. Although he was covered by the brilliance of that peerless genius elder brother, but he had also caught up with him since his innate talent awoke.
He was the pride of the Clan, the focus of the Sect’s training and the genius worshipped by countless brothers and sisters of the same Sect.
And this time was also the first time he had been defeated in more than twenty years and he had never been in such a sorry state before.
He did possess contempt at the beginning of the battle towards Lou Mu Yan. Even if he gradually grew vigilant later, it was too late, but it was undeniable that he did lose.
In this battle that he, and the rest of the Sect, originally thought would have no suspense, he actually lost, and it wasn’t a wrongful loss at all. Lou Mu Yan’s talent had surpassed him already.
It wasn’t scary to lose. Instead, he felt a sense of happiness inwardly. The smooth sailing in the past twenty years had made him so prideful that he had gradually lost his way.
Now this battle was like a blow to the head to wake him up and let him understand that there are mountains beyond a mountain, skies beyond a sky, people beyond people, and that there were those stronger amongst the strong.
Lou Mu Yan was originally still pondering about the sliver of Wind Elemental Energy she had just integrated into the array just now, and only looked down at Di Shi Tian when she heard him speak.
She saw that there was a streak of blood on the corner of his lips, his appearance was rather sorry, and the injury on his chest he clutched at was obviously not light.
But there was no resentment in his deep black eyes, and, instead, there was an incomparable brightness, as if he had found a streetlamp.
There was an arc on her lips. Di Shi Tian was a broad-minded, open-hearted person—no wonder he could go so far at such a young age.
“I have a pill here to heal injuries, take it first Senior Brother.” Lou Mu Yan flashed over in front of Di Shi Tian, took out a pill and handed it over.
Di Shi Tian looked at the lustrous and full pill and was stunned for a moment when he smelled the medicinal fragrance emanating from it.
He immediately took the pill, ate it, and it melted instantly in his mouth. As expected, a Grade 4 pill.
“Thank you, Junior Sister!” Moments after taking the pill, he felt that the blood surging in his body gradually calmed down and his swollen and painful internal organs felt much more relaxed, “Your pill is a good thing.”
“Senior Brother is too polite.” Lou Mu Yan smiled modestly.
She also gained a lot from the battle with Di Shi Tian this time. She was in a good mood and this Senior Brother looked even more pleasing to the eyes.
In addition, she was about to enter the Inner Sect, and she should be able to participate in the Grand Competition between the Six Major Sects not long after with Di Shi Tian, so she still hoped to not have a grudge with this person.
But seeing that Di Shi Tian didn’t resent her now, her impression of him couldn’t help but improve slightly
Of course, if Di Shi Tian was the kind of villain that was narrow-minded and held grudges, although she wouldn’t be afraid, but she wouldn’t take the initiative to show friendliness.
“Junior Sister, earlier, was comprehending by borrowing the wind element power condensed from my array?” Di Shi Tian still couldn’t help but ask this question he had.
Lou Mu Yan nodded and didn’t conceal it either, “I did comprehend the wind element through Senior Brother’s array earlier. If there’s a chance, I would like to exchange pointers again with Senior Brother, I wonder if Senior Brother Di would reward some face at that time.”
Di Shi Tian’s wind element attribute had already reached the Great Achievement Realm, which was already considered very outstanding among the younger generation. Exchanging pointers with him would help her improve her understanding of the Wind Elemental Energy.
“HAHA—” Di Shi Tian laughed heartily, “I can’t ask enough for it. Then I’ll come to find Junior Sister to exchange pointers, Junior Sister better not find me annoying.”
Lou Mu Yan’s fire element was already at Great Achievement’s perfection Realm, and her skills in arrays were even more superior. Exchanging pointers with her would also help him advance a lot. Even if she didn’t bring it up, he would also take the initiative to pester her to exchange pointers when they enter the Inner Sect in the future.
“I think Senior Brother is very pleasing to the eyes, so I’ll gift this Essence Force Pill to Senior Brother. I think it can help you break through the bottleneck of this level.” Lou Mu Yan took out a porcelain bottle and gave it to Di Shi Tian.
She discovered that Di Shi Tian’s cultivation base should be stuck at Middle-Phase Sword Venerable for a while. She didn’t mind selling him a favour with a pill to break through this bottleneck.
And the stronger his strength, the more beneficial it was for the Grand Competition between the Six Major Sects.
Di Shi Tian was also a refreshing and thick-skinned person. Hearing her say that, his eyes lit up and he opened the bottle to take a sniff.
It was just a sniff, and he already felt the Elemental Energy within him surging in his body even more vigorously. If he took it, the effect would be exactly like what she said, helping him to advance to Advanced-Phase Sword Venerable.
He immediately put the pill away with a bit of gratitude revealed on his face: “Thank you for Junior Sister’s generosity. This pill is really important to me. I will definitely befriend someone like Junior Sister. If there is anything you need after entering the Inner Sect, Junior Sister can come find me.”
“Alright! Senior Brother, it can be seen, out of blows, friendship grows.”
The way the two changed from being opponents to friends was too fast. The pupils who were still trapped in the aftertaste of the battle just now was a little unable to react fast enough.
“Lou Mu Yan actually defeated Senior Brother Di, that’s a miracle.”
“Yeah! And from the sincere look on Senior Brother Di, it’s obvious that he’s not begrudging of what happened just now. He probably benefited a lot from that battle.” Someone couldn’t help but envy.
“The position of the number one person of the Outer Sect seems to be replaced today.” Someone sighed.
“Indeed. She’s now the worthy number one person of the Outer Sect. It’s a pity that she would enter the Inner Sect in a few days to compete with that bunch of abnormal monsters for a place.”
“With her performance in this assessment competition, she’ll definitely be raised with importance by the Sect. How enviable.”
“…”
The people below kept speaking words of envy, but the shock and astonishment in their hearts couldn’t dissipated for a long time.
Yan Jun, Ling Fei Yang, and Mo Ling were also lucky enough to win a spot in the Inner Sect this time. Seeing how outstanding Lou Mu Yan was, they couldn’t help but smile bitterly while also sighing with joy.
They were people who were also selected to enter the Sect from the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, but the gap between them and her was only getting bigger and bigger.
While the students below chatted and discussed chaotically, the Headmasters sitting above weren’t calm either at this moment.
