Chapter 366: Chapter 367: Dongfeng Shuo Takes ActionThe first battle ended easily, leaving those who wanted to gauge Wang Cai’s strength disappointed as their hopes were dashed in an instant. No choice, Wang Cai was simply too powerful. He did only two things upon taking the stage; first, he greeted the people in the stands, and the second was to say a few words to his opponent. It was those words that led the opponent to forfeit the battle by choosing to abstain. The second battle was between two Cultivators Mu Can had not seen before. This time, without any unforeseen events, the two fought a lively battle, coming and going. However, ideally matched in power, and likely both were at the Peak of Martial Arts Sect strength, having acquired similar Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion, this battle lasted nearly the time of a burning incense stick. Finally, both exhausted, the victor emerged with a slight advantage. The winner earned three points, while the loser one. However, Mu Can had already seen that this point system seemed redundant. With this kind of fighting, only by battling all the way and winning in the end could one claim the undisputed first place. The Cultivator who won but was as tired as a dead dog returned to the stands and immediately began to recover his strength. Once this first round was over, the remaining ten would fight again, and without using the time to recover wisely, a loss in the second round was almost certain. Yet, going first had its advantages, meaning more time for recovery. If the last two fought and the next round began immediately, the remaining two would be regretful to tears. In the third battle, the burly man carrying a giant axe entered the ring. With just three axe blows, he defeated his opponent, who was then teleported out of the Duel Arena. Mu Can couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at this strong man. The axe technique he displayed possessed a unique beauty. In the fourth battle, Xu Liang’s entry allowed Wang Cai and Mu Can to fully realize his strength, as he had never had the chance to make a move when following Mu Can. Xu Liang’s opponent was a master swordsman, while Xu Liang brought out a long whip, a weapon seldom seen in the Mortal World. Though rare doesn’t mean it lacks power. With the whip in hand, Mu Can sensed a subtle change in Xu Liang’s momentum. Xu Liang ended the fight with a victorious smile, but it seemed if he didn’t have a trick up his sleeve for the next round, he would likely be eliminated. Among the few victors Mu Can had seen, Xu Liang’s strength was actually the lowest. He managed to hang on until the end and drained the opponent with his indomitable spirit. In the fifth bout, Lady Luck did not side with Mu Can and his allies; the combatant happened to be the last follower of Wangcai Divine Sect that Mu Can faced. Without a fight, the follower predictably surrendered right away. Why bother fighting? First, Mu Can’s relationship with Wang Cai was there for all to see—they might genuinely be Wang Cai’s master. Second, Mu Can’s strength was evident, and even if he had taken action, the follower wouldn’t dare. Better to concede with sincerity. But this was also a blessing in disguise. After all, Mu Can kept most of his strength without having to lift a finger, keeping his cards hidden. Nobody had seen him move, making targeted plans against him merely an illusion. In the sixth bout, the old man who greeted Wang Cai earlier, turned out to be Mu Can’s old acquaintance, Dongfeng Shuo. After days apart, it was unexpected to meet him here. In this battle, Dongfeng Shuo effortlessly won with an overwhelming advantage, not even employing any Cultivation Technique, simply relying on his physical strength, making his opponent miserable. Regardless of the assault, he had just one move—a brute force to suppress all techniques, and this fighting method proved effective again and again. After the opponent used various Martial Skills, they would be easily dodged by Dongfeng Shuo. However, Dongfeng Shuo’s seemingly withered fists, when they landed on the opponent, felt like being crushed by a mountain. After only two punches, the opponent surrendered. After all, if the fight continued, they really might be beaten to death by this seemingly frail old man. Others who saw this scene didn’t think much of it, but Mu Can felt differently. Dongfeng Shuo had entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm with him, and now it seemed that the old man did, indeed, harbor many secrets. Whether these secrets were good or bad, Mu Can could not judge. "Be careful with that old man," Mu Can softly cautioned. As if sensing Mu Can’s gaze, Dongfeng Shuo waved and called out loudly, "Boy, we meet again, haha." It was like a meeting between old friends, with no ill feelings despite their divergence in paths before. "Haha, congratulations," Mu Can also laughed loudly, waving his hand at Dongfeng Shuo. Ultimately, Dongfeng Shuo hadn’t done anything to wrong Mu Can and even helped him upon entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. But Mu Can had too many secrets, and he couldn’t allow someone whose background was unknown to stay close. Moreover, Dongfeng Shuo had seemed especially mysterious at that time, and this sense of mystery did not diminish upon meeting again but had intensified. Mu Can was deeply puzzled; who exactly was this mysterious Dongfeng Shuo, what was his purpose in entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and why did he initially deceive Mu Can by pretending to be an ordinary Cultivator? His familiarity with the realm made Mu Can wonder if this was Dongfeng Shuo’s first time entering.

This old man is out of the ordinary," Wang Cai scrutinized Dongfeng Shuo with his round eyes, finding the old man to be anything but simple. "What? Did you discover something?" Mu Can asked. Without understanding Dongfeng Shuo’s intentions, he always felt as if there was a thorn in his heart. "I can’t see through him, not one bit. He’s shrouded in a dense fog, leaving me unable to discern his true strength. Even sensing him is exceptionally difficult. Only two possibilities explain this situation; either his strength far exceeds mine, or he possesses some sort of mysterious Treasure on him, and it must be of a high level." Whichever it was, both possibilities proved Dongfeng Shuo’s complexity.
