Chapter 1327: Chapter 1331: Breach Defense

Zhu Minglang saw that look in his eyes.

Though merely through a few short sentences, his face carried a playful air, particularly those eyes, filled with a touch of smugness and contempt.

It was like a peacock, shrouded in mud, entering a chicken coop, where a local chicken mocks its ugliness, while it secretly revels in joy and excitement. For with a mere shake, it would reveal the dazzling feathers that would astonish the entire coop, whereas the local chicken would forever remain just that, utterly embarrassed by its previous taunts.

At this moment, Star Officer Nie Ti was that peacock, looking at Zhu Minglang as if he was just an energetic local chicken in the coop.

No matter how loudly you crow or how pure your feathers, you cannot compare to a peacock. This sense of superiority and arrogance was fully reflected in his expression and gaze.

Zhu Minglang walked towards the Xuanwu Platform, feeling the surge of immortals and the throng around him. Though he had seen similar grand scenes before, the people here were distinctly different from those he had encountered previously, unfamiliar and novel to Zhu Minglang, naturally eliciting a very different reaction.

But in terms of mindset, Zhu Minglang remained composed.

"The match should stop at the sign of defeat," said the presiding Immortal Elder, a respected official, to the two dazzling Inner Sect Disciples.

"Of course, I am, just like the rest of the Southern Heavenly Palace disciples, curious to see how much strength fellow disciple Zhu is truly hiding," said Kang Constellation Star Official Nie Ti.

"Very well, let’s begin," the Immortal Elder nodded.

"I forfeit," Zhu Minglang interrupted as soon as the words were spoken.

The Immortal Elder, having just taken his first step, stood frozen, turned his head in utter confusion, and looked at Zhu Minglang.

"I said, I forfeit," repeated Zhu Minglang, fearing the elderly might not have heard clearly due to hearing loss.

A much-anticipated duel, over before it had even begun?

It wasn’t just the officiating Immortal Elder who was stunned; even the spectators who had spent an entire night scrambling for the best seats were bewildered!

"No exchange of moves?" asked the befuddled Immortal Elder.

"No need, it’s pointless," said Zhu Minglang indifferently, then walked away from the Xuanwu Platform.

"Hold it!" Kang Constellation Star Official Nie Ti’s anticipation and smugness evaporated, replaced by irritation and incomprehension; he pointed at Zhu Minglang and shouted, "What do you mean by this? Yielding without a fight is a disgrace!"

"Idiot," Zhu Minglang tossed back two crisp words at Star Official Nie Ti, then coolly descended from the Xuanwu Platform.

The duel had naturally ended with his departure, yet the anger and fighting spirit of Kang Constellation Star Official Nie Ti were ignited by Zhu Minglang. And, to make matters worse, with his opponent gone, there was nothing he could do but extinguish the provoked fury himself!

So, the local chicken was merely indulging its taste for banter!

To scold you!

No intention of competing over who has prettier feathers!

I’ve had my fill of insults, I’ll continue basking in my sunlight.

Yet Kang Constellation Star Official was looking forward to dazzling everyone with his feathers, letting all know that even if he suppressed his cultivation base, this prodigy of the Southern Heavenly Palace wouldn’t stand a chance against him...

"You... you coward! Have the guts to never leave the Beast Guardian Land for the rest of your life!" Star Official Nie Ti, infuriated and embarrassed, cursed.

Star Official Nie Ti was actually quite young, not yet twenty.

But his achievements were so remarkable that he was known by everyone in Jun Tian.

His strength allowed him not to hide his youthful vigor or repress any displeasure he felt in any situation.

He had been biding his time, especially for this annual competition, to reclaim his reputation, which had been overshadowed by the Executioner Cauldron Dragon’s prestige. It would have been more interesting to humiliate all the heavenly beings and geniuses of the Southern Heavenly Palace than to give Zhu Minglang a taste of his power.

Who knew it would turn out like this, instantly breaking through the strong defense!

"Idiot." Zhu Minglang sent off Nie Ti with these two words before leaving, essentially concluding this highly anticipated competition.

Zhu Minglang didn’t actually need to win this match.

After all, he had already achieved the effect he wanted.

As for Nie Ti, who was flaunting his power in front of him...

In Zhu Minglang’s view, it was simply because he couldn’t be bothered to contending with him!

Firstly, if strength was not suppressed to the God King Level, Zhu Minglang did not believe the Little Glutton would lose.

Who is the Little Glutton anyway??

The Earth Emperor of the Dragon Gate Fourth Heaven, Kang’s Star Officer has eaten nearly a hundred if not eighty, in the eyes of Little Glutton, this is just a greenhorn.

Without suppressing Cultivation Base, even Nie Ti of the Kang Constellation can’t withstand a single Sword from the Sword Spirit Dragon.

So, if this competition really went on, and Little Glutton won, then Nie Ti would surely lift the suppression of his Cultivation Base to claim victory with his Cultivation Base, spouting nonsense about how high Cultivation Base is also a kind of strength, and if he lost, he could scoff and humiliate in every possible way...

Indeed, it’s meaningless.

Why bother!

Zhu Minglang also wondered, why didn’t these spectators use their brains? Why would he want to fight against Kang Constellation Star Officer Nie Ti?

If he won, would he gain an extra piece of meat?

As a little bug of the Southern Heavenly Palace, if it wasn’t for the difficulty in obtaining a spot under the Weaver Star, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t let the God King Level Nine-tailed Dragon and Little Glutton fight at all; let the Chongwang Dragon finish wherever it may.

"Actually, this is within expectations." Chongyang Immortal, who was busy but still came to watch the battle, actually smiled at the outcome.

"Yes, Zhu Lang is young, probably not even seventeen yet, while Nie Ti has cultivated for three more years. There really is nothing to compare. This little Heavenly Being Disciple is quite interesting, though."

"He’s calm and can see the situation clearly."

"But no matter what, Nie Ti’s status among the young talents is unshakable..."

"It’s hard for Jun Tian to have anyone more dazzling than him, but I’ve heard that You Tian, Xuan Tian, and Yellow Sky all have remarkable individuals. It seems we truly are getting old."

"Does everyone have Disciples they fancy? Let’s communicate beforehand, to avoid us old folks fighting over Disciples later," Crescent Fairy said.

"This Zhu Lang, I’m taking him," Chongyang Immortal said straightforwardly, calling dibs.

"Shen Du is not bad, I think he has potential."

"I’m quite fond of Gong Yuexia," Weaver Star spoke up at this moment, expressing the Disciples she favored and liked most.

"All the outstanding ones have been picked by you... Well, let’s see the Disciples’ own wishes later on."

...

The span of the yearly competition was quite long, and the public ceremony for the direct Disciples began only after the competition had completely ended.

It was still that spotlessly clean plaza, but now in front of the twenty-three steles stood the respective Immortal Elders, some of whom often wandered outside and were not seen for several years. Only today, they were present.
