Chapter 272: Ch-272: Shocked Crowd
" Outer Court Disciple, Dual Cultivation department, Wu Wei "
" Outer Court Disciple, Dual Cultivation department, Cao Li"
The referee announced loudly, and one male and one female disciple stepped onto the platform upon hearing their names being called out.
Like the other contestants, sparks flew from their eyes but with more intensity, as the crowd cheered their names. However, there was something off about this pair. The male disciple glared at her with immense hatred, while the female disciple wore a smug expression, completely unbothered.
"Cao Li, did you visit that bastard Wang Ming's massage parlour?" Wu Wei asked, his eyes narrowed, barely containing his anger.
"I did. Why do you ask?" Cao Li asked with an amused expression on her face.
"Don't play innocent! What did that bastard do to you?" Wu Wei demanded, anger evident in his voice.
"Nothing. He just gave me a deep massage, dear," Cao Li replied with a mischievous smirk as Wu Wei's face darkened, his eyes practically spitting flames.
"Damn it! Massage, my foot! Don't think I don't know—you two Dual Cultivated!" Wu Wei shouted, his voice filled with fury as the realization hit him that he, too, was now a victim of Wang Ming. He had unwillingly become the proud owner of the infamous 'Green Hat,' a humiliation he could hardly bear. The way Cao Li smiled and mockingly called him "darling" only stoked his anger further.
"Hmph! If you already know, why ask? With your small thing, I was about to break up with you and find a new partner anyway," Cao Li snorted, glaring at her ex-partner.
"Damn, bitch!" Wu Wei growled. If looks could kill, she would have died a thousand times.

"Oh, looks like another victim of Wang Ming," Tang Jingling remarked with an amused expression from the stands.
"Yeah, he really is a homewrecker. No wonder every male disciple wants to kill him," Xue Jiaxin added, a weird look on her face.
"Yeah, if I were a man, I would want to kill him too," Lin Xue said as they turned their heads back to watch the fight begin.

"Alright, the match begins!" the referee elder announced, ignoring their bickering.
"I'm going to cripple your cultivation!" Wu Wei shouted, charging toward Cao Li.
"Hmph," Cao Li snorted coldly as spiritual energy surged from her body. Her eyes turned icy as she prepared to counter his attack.
Cao Li sidestepped to dodge the strike aimed at her dantian, an attack intended to shatter her cultivation.
"What?!" Wu Wei exclaimed as she disappeared just inches before his blow could make contact. Narrowing his eyes, he rushed toward her again, aiming once more for her dantian. But she evaded him with ease.
Frustrated, he abandoned his attempts to target her dantian and tried striking other parts of her and tried striking other parts of her body. Yet, she continued to dodging effortlessly, leaving him with growing sense of dread as beads of sweat formed on his brow.
"Heavens, how are you dodging all my attacks?" Wu Wei asked, his voice filled with shock and fear. He knew she was weaker than him and was certain her cultivation level was lower than his. Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he sensed the aura of a 10th Stage Core Formation Realm expert radiating from her.
"Why do you think every female disciple visits him?" Cao Li sneered.
"But that's..." Wu Wei began, wanting to deny it, but the reality of Cao Li standing before him was undeniable proof.
"And moreover," Cao Li added with a mocking smile, "his thing was much bigger than your tiny one."
Her taunt enraged Wu Wei, and he resumed attacking her with fury. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, she effortlessly dodged every single strike.
"Stop dodging, you bit—" Wu Wei's words were cut off as a sharp pain exploded across his cheek. His vision blurred, and darkness began to overtake him.
Thud
Wu Wei fell on the ground completely knocked out with a red hand print on his cheek, the corwd was silent at this moment.
" Winner, Cao Li" the referee announced and the audience instantly
" Damn, how shameful , he could not even touch her and was knocked by a slap on the cheek" snickered a male dispcle from the corwd
" It's not like you could perform any better" said a female from the side and isntnaly closed his mouth.
" Damn, am I being weird or is the strength of the female dispcles a bit too strong" commented a male dispcle from the side,
" Could I be that it is due to that bastard Wang Ming, my partner told that he has very high quality Yang Qi" said amel dispcles and those who heard him had their faces darkened as they heard something similar from their own partners.
Many if them males still had no idea the females who cultivated with Wang Mjng had theris tregth increased as they were in seclusion and who knew thought it be bluff, they were pissed at Wang Ming but did not dare anything as the merieos of the death macthwa still fresh on their mind
Wu Wei fell to the ground, completely knocked out, a vivid red handprint on his cheek. The crowd fell silent in shock.
"Winner: Cao Li," the referee announced, and the audience erupted instantly.
"Damn, how shameful. He couldn't even touch her and got knocked out by a slap!" snickered a male disciple from the crowd.
"It's not like you'd do any better," a female disciple retorted from the side, causing the man to instantly shut his mouth.
"Am I imagining things, or are the female disciples getting way too strong lately?" commented another male disciple.
"Could it be because of that bastard Wang Ming?" another male speculated. "My partner told me he has extremely high-quality Yang Qi."
Those who overheard him had their faces darken, many recalling similar claims from their own partners. Enjoy exclusive chapters from mvl
Many of the male disciples still hadn't grasped that the females who cultivated with Wang Ming had significantly increased their strength. Most of the men had been in seclusion, and while some dismissed the claims as mere rumors, others were filled with anger. However, no one dared act against Wang Ming—the memories of his previous death matches were still fresh in their minds.

Tang Jingling, Xue Jiaxin, Ren Xi, and Lin Xue watched the matches with complete shock and disbelief written on their faces.
They didn't utter a single word until the 40th match, where all the female disciples won with just one or two hits. Even the crowd and the elders were stunned.
"Heavens, so it's true after all," Ren Xi said in a dazed voice.
"Y-Yes… none of the female disciples are weaker than the Core Formation Realm," Xue Jiaxin stammered, as everyone exchanged astonished glances.
"The Outer Court is even stronger than the Inner Court disciples. Even the elder looks shocked," Tang Jingling said, pointing at the pale elder, who was sweating buckets.
"Next match: Bai Lingxi," the elder announced.
A beautiful woman stepped forward, immediately drawing their attention. Their wide eyes were then drawn to the man beside her, whom they instantly recognized as Wang Ming.
