Chapter 74 Waiting Room
Chapter 74 Waiting Room
The waiting room for the contestants was bustling with activity and noise.
All the contestants gathered here, some sitting, some standing, in various postures. Some stayed quietly alone in a corner, while others gathered in small groups, talking quietly.
In a secluded corner of the room, two tall boys stood side by side.
One of them carried a gleaming longsword on his back, its hilt inlaid with gems and its blade flashing with a cold light. The other held a long spear in his hand, its shaft entirely black, exuding a chilling aura.
The man with the sword asked the man with the gun with a curious look, "Brother Mu, which one of these people do you think could be your opponent?"
The man holding the gun was Mu Yuchen. He glanced sharply around the room, then shook his head slightly and said firmly, "There is no one here who can stand against me."
"Huh? There's not a single person who can be your opponent! Doesn't that mean the outcome of this match is a foregone conclusion?" The man with the sword stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment.
"Hmm, it looks like the remaining matches will just be a sparring match between the two of us again." Mu Yuchen frowned slightly, seemingly feeling somewhat helpless about this situation.
Upon hearing this, the man with the sword couldn't help but shrink back and gave a wry smile: "Brother Mu, you must be joking. How could I possibly be worthy of such an important task as sparring with you?"
It turned out that the person wielding the sword was Li Xiao. He and Mu Yuchen had known each other for a long time and had sparred many times, but each time Li Xiao had lost.
That's why she showed that expression when she heard Mu Yuchen's words.
Suddenly a commotion arose at the entrance, and the crowd began to stir.
"What's going on?" Mu Yuchen asked, looking surprised.
Li Xiao shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the situation either: "I don't know either, why don't we go and take a look?"
So the two of them walked together to the vicinity of the door, wanting to find out what had happened. As they approached, they saw two girls slowly walking into the waiting room.
The girl walking in front was wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.
Her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes revealed an unwavering determination and resolve, as if nothing in the world could stop her from moving forward.
The girl following closely behind her was a stark contrast to the former. She had long, flowing white hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, shimmering silver under the bright lights, like a fairy from a dream.
She was also wearing a white, tight-fitting combat suit that clung to her body, showcasing her agile and flexible figure.
Her face was relatively gentle, yet beneath that gentle exterior lay an elusive and powerful force.
"Wow, it's Princess Song Wanning!"
"Princess Song is so beautiful!"
"How wonderful it would be if I could become Princess Song's boyfriend..."
"You're dreaming! If you could become Princess Song's boyfriend, I'd eat shit while doing a handstand on live stream!"
Their gazes, however, were involuntarily drawn to the beautiful woman standing in the crowd.
"So it's Princess Song Wanning," Li Xiao murmured, a hint of surprise in his voice.
His gaze was fixed on Song Wanning, as if drawn by an invisible force.
"Whether it's looks, physique, or ability, they are all remarkable," he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
Indeed, Song Wanning's beauty is like a dazzling star in the night sky, impossible to ignore.
"But who's with her? How come she's able to be with Song Wanning?" someone asked curiously, breaking the brief silence.
Everyone's attention began to shift to the person next to Song Wanning, trying to find out the mystery.
"It should be Song Wanning's personal maid. It is said that the destruction of the Zhang family was also related to this maid." Mu Yuchen said slowly and softly. His voice was deep and calm, but it carried a convincing power.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's face showed surprise, clearly shocked by the news.
"They really value this maid," Li Xiao muttered to himself, secretly speculating.
After all, to be able to follow someone of Song Wanning's noble status, one must possess extraordinary position and ability.
At this moment, Li Xiao suddenly turned around and asked seriously, "Brother Mu, are you confident in defeating Song Wanning?" His tone was filled with anticipation and nervousness, as if he was very concerned about this question.
Mu Yuchen frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head. His expression became serious, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
"I can't sense her aura. There are only two possibilities: either her cultivation level is higher than mine, or she has cultivated some kind of technique that can hide her aura." He slowly stated his opinion, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He had originally thought Mu Yuchen would give a positive answer, but he hadn't expected it to be so unexpected.
Ignoring the gazes and whispers of those around them, Song Wanning pulled Ye Chuxue straight to a relatively quiet corner to sit down.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the others gradually dispersed, but people still occasionally cast curious glances at the corner where Song Wanning and her group were.
At this moment, Li Xiao looked at Mu Yuchen with a shocked expression and asked incredulously, "Brother Mu, do you mean that Song Wanning's strength might be above yours?"
Mu Yuchen nodded solemnly in agreement.
Upon hearing this answer, Li Xiao couldn't help but gasp. After all, Mu Yuchen was a powerful expert who had already reached the fourth level of the Divine Venerable Realm. If even he said that Song Wanning's strength might be above his own, then just how terrifying was Song Wanning's cultivation level?
After a moment of silence, Li Xiao spoke again: "Brother Mu, what's the situation with Song Wanning's personal maid?"
Mu Yuchen frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I feel that her aura is very similar to mine, but for some reason, she always gives me a strange sense of crisis."
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. He simply couldn't imagine how even Song Wanning's personal maid could make Mu Yuchen feel threatened. What was going on?
"Hey, look! Princess Song is smiling!"
"Yes, yes, I never expected to see Princess Song smile."
Mu Yuchen and Li Xiao heard the voices of the crowd and turned to look.
