On the second day, as soon as the sun had reached its peak, the rest of the Sacred Children, along with the High Pillars, made their move.
Ten figures moved for different platforms and forced everyone off with sheer force.
The old generation noticed their move and scowled at Mo Ling Gu.
"Mo Ling Gu! Do you really intend to obtain every quota that is given for the Myriad Ascension Secret Realm?!"
It was Tang Fei Yun who spoke up and soon after, several others also voiced their discontent. Even under the pressure of a dozen people, Mo Ling Gu merely snorted and spoke in a chilling tone.
"The weak have no rights to speak. Just look at your own disciples and then at mine. Shouldn't we get more quotas as it would be wasted on idiots like you?"
Guang Fu Mu then pitched in to add fuel to the fire "I think that it would be better to just give us all the quotas. It's not like they have a better use for them. If you're unhappy then just have your disciples duel ours and see who wins"
This shut many of the protesters up. Meanwhile, Mo Tian had just kicked the Sacred Child occupying first place off.
Soon the strongest occupied the platforms, seven Sacred Children and three High Pillars. The remaining ones either had expressions of envy or simply didn't care, and left without a hurry.
This display of power quickly discouraged many, causing them to straight up leave the competition. Soon only a handful of people remained.
A sudden movement caught everyone's eye. An eye-catching beauty in a light blue dress moved towards the platforms. Her beauty captivated all that looked on and the coldness her face contained seemed to freeze everyone's soul.
Bing Xue took a step, and then another, and another. Finally, she stepped foot on the third platform and came to a stop. Hushed whispers could be heard when they saw her opponent.
Mo Ling Gu turned to Lotus Fairy Master with a grin, "Such an outstanding disciple, too bad she has a bad sense for picking opponents"
The man who she is facing off against is Mo Tie, who cultivates fire attributed techniques, a direct counter to her ice element. The spectators cheered and started to fiercely bet on who will win this matchup. Many betted on Mo Tie, though it is to be expected, while a select few betted on Bing Xue due to her beauty.
Meanwhile, Bing Xue herself showed no reaction to all the commotion and merely took out her sword. The pristine white blade shone and gave her a graceful allure that was hardly resistible.
Mo Tie expressed pure lust and didn't try to hide his intentions.
"Hey woman, how about-"
Before he could finish speaking, Bing Xue lunged forward with her sword. A layer of ice covered it, making light refract and shine in a dangerously beautiful way. Much like the owner, all things beautiful are also dangerous in their own way.
Mo Tie was angry that he was interrupted before he had finished speaking and instead of dodging, he met the attack head on.
A giant sword made of flames appeared and descended towards Bing Xue. In the face of this terrifying attack, she didn't falter nor stop. A few people closed their eyes as no one would want to see a flower crushed.
Phss!
Instead of shattering, the ice covering her blade melted into water. Instead of evaporating, the water took on the form of a water dragon and lunged towards Mo Tie. It was aimed at Mo Tie's head and was exceptionally quick, but Mo Tie wasn't a pushover and was able to dodge just in time.
The water dragon grazed his cheek and a thin red line appeared in its place. Mo Tie hurriedly jumped back while the water dragon was reduced to a puddle on the ground.
He touched his cheek which was already bleeding profusely and growled. A dangerous glint appeared in his eyes as flames covered his entire body.
The temperature soared and everything took on a slight red hue. It was as if Mo Tie had turned into a raging inferno with an intent to kill. Bing Xue merely stood with the same expressionless face she had sported this entire time.
"Since you are uncooperative I guess I'll just have to use force!"
The flames suddenly condensed as all the heat in the area had converged towards one point. Slowly, Mo Tie's figure was revealed to be covered in bright red runic armor from head to toe.
A few knowledgeable people recognized the armor with just a quick glance.
"That's the Flame Rune Armor Technique!"
Almost all of the old generation looked at Mo Ling Gu for confirmation and he smiled coldly in response. A few then looked at Fairy Lotus Master with a tinge of pity in their gaze.
Back on the platform, Bing Xue began exchanging blows with Mo Tie. Sporting this armor, Mo Tie's confidence soared as he attacked without care. Bing Xue continued to cover her sword with a layer of ice and using the water it turns into to attack, all to no avail.
However, Sheng Tian's eyes narrowed as he took a better look at the platform itself.
Splash!
While everyone was focused on the fight, the platform had become covered in a thin layer of water.
It was at this moment that Bing Xue changed up her fighting style. She waved her sword and a ten meter tall ice wall formed around Mo Tie, effectively trapping him for the moment. She then made a flurry of hand seals and the surrounding puddles rose.
Tiny, barely perceptible water droplets floated in mid air. The temperature suddenly dropped and the entire platform had a mysterious misty look to it.
Bing Xue's soft voice echoed, entrancing all that heard it, "Soundless Blizzard Domain"
The surrounding mist churned and Mo Tie's pained cry could barely be heard. He had broken out of the ice walls only to find himself in a perilous situation. He slashed the mist in an attempt to destroy it.
"Enough with these tricks!"
Bing Xue, who was well hidden in the mist, didn't bother to reply. She made another hand seal and brought out her zither. The mist darkened further and the bright light that was Mo tie which could be seen by the spectators began to fade away like a candle amidst the winds.
Ting~
Bing Xue plucked a string on her zither and an almost magical sound entranced everyone. The envoy quickly waved his hand and those that were not a part of this competition quickly recovered with wide eyes.
"Illusion with music! Ice with water! Lotus Fairy Master has truly raised a wonder this time"
