Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 949: Chapter 34: Rematch with Qianshui! (First Update)

On the peak of the mountain, on the platform with its top sheared off, two people once again stood facing each other.

Just like half a year ago, only this time, the challenger’s and the challenged’s positions had swapped.

The former challenger now stood in the position of being challenged, and the former challengee now stood in the challenger’s position.

Around the platform, those standing on the floating small mountain rocks in the air included Blue-robed Disciples, White-clothed Disciples, Spirit Cave Realm disciples, and even all of the top ten disciples before the hall.

Tong Teng had already moved from the ranks of the Blue-robed Disciples to stand among the White-clothed Disciples. He leaned against the railing, looking at the platform, cheering for Mu Qingge in his heart.

’Boss! Give it your all! This time, you must make everyone truly convinced!’

Around the peak’s platform, there were over ten floating small mountain rocks, each able to hold hundreds of people. Currently, except for the one belonging to the top ten disciples, which appeared relatively empty, all others were packed with people.

Though not all disciples of the Huan Yue Domain were present, quite a few had come.

Many could not squeeze in and had no choice but to look up from below the mountain, waiting for news.

Among the crowd on the rocks, there were some itching for action, wanting to make a move against Mu Qingge after her challenge with Qian Shui ended.

After all, for the other top ten disciples, Mu Qingge to them was the easiest target to beat, and by winning against her, they could easily gain a spot among the top ten disciples.

However, the premise now was that Mu Qingge must not lose to Qian Shui.

Once she won, they would have their chance. If she lost, Qian Shui would reclaim everything he lost before, and they’d be left with nothing.

Thinking of this, many people secretly beat their chests and stomped their feet in regret.

They regretted why their actions were not faster than Qian Shui’s. If they had been the first to challenge Mu Qingge, would there be a glimmer of hope?

”Ah, Qian Shui shixiong acted too fast. As soon as the half-year period ended, he issued a challenge.”

”That’s understandable. I’m afraid every moment of these past six months, Qian Shui shixiong has been thinking about this day. So, as soon as the period ended, he immediately initiated the challenge.”

”I originally thought I’d have a chance to contend for a spot among the top ten disciples this time, but with Qian Shui shixiong stepping forward, we have no hope.”

”Hope? Hmph, there never was any. It’s only your delusions that blind you to the truth.”

”What do you mean?”

”What do I mean? You still don’t get it? Have you not thought that if Mu Qingge defeats Qian Shui shixiong again, what are your chances of winning against her? If Qian Shui shixiong wins, what has it to do with you? The position belongs to Qian Shui shixiong, and he will take it back sooner or later.”

”You must be foolish! Last time, Mu Qingge’s victory was all due to luck and a surprise attack. In just half a year, how much could she have improved? No matter how talented she is, it’s impossible to truly surpass Qian Shui shixiong. If she wins, it’s because she used a strategy against Qian Shui shixiong. If we were to challenge her, it’s not as if she could outsmart all of us, so it’s not impossible for us to win against her. When one of us replaces her, Qian Shui shixiong will have to wait another half year to regain it. No matter what happens in half a year, we could at least enjoy half a year of resources from being one of the top ten disciples in front of the hall, and afterwards, it’s very prestigious to talk about.”

This analysis made more people eager to move.

The generous treatment for the top ten disciples before the hall and their prestigious status made everyone eager to take a chance.

In other words, if Mu Qingge does not display absolute strength in today’s battle, she might not have a peaceful day ahead.

Just responding to these consecutive challenges would exhaust her, making it impossible for her to cultivate diligently.

”What do you think about today’s battle?” On the stone stand of the top ten disciples, Fourth Young Master asked with an amused look.

Those who had received Mu Qingge’s elixirs found it difficult to say anything harsh at the moment, mostly choosing silence.

After a while, Seventh Young Master, Xuan Qiang, slowly spoke: ”These six months, he seemed quite low-key.”

Her words prompted everyone to start speaking.

Fifth Young Master nodded, ”Indeed. I thought he would flaunt everywhere after scheming for this position. But unexpectedly, he has rarely left Young Palace Mountain; even when he did, it was just to the Magic Tower, so low-key that I almost forgot about him.”

His words resulted in other young masters nodding in agreement.

Even Zhuang Shan could not help nodding. He, who was closest to Mu Qingge, knew that apart from the first two visits to see Tong Teng, once he learned that Tong Teng and Feng Xing got along well, she settled into a routine life.

From Young Palace Mountain to the Magic Tower, from the Magic Tower back to Young Palace Mountain.

In this half-year, he had only seen her twice, and both times were outside Tong Teng’s cave.

”It seems that during these six months, he hasn’t wasted time, constantly cultivating,” said Eldest Young Master, Li Chao, with eyes full of deep thought.

Second Young Master frowned, ”However, no matter how diligent, no matter how talented, in half a year, it’s unimaginable to truly surpass Qian Shui. The gap between cultivating a thousand years and half a year cannot be filled simply by talent and diligence.” He shook his head, not out of sympathy for Mu Qingge, but because he did not believe Mu Qingge could really defeat Qian Shui.

”So, if he still wants to keep this position, he can only use some unconventional methods?” Sixth Young Master said with some disdain.

Silence resumed among the group, with Zhuang Shan unable to say much.

Because, in his heart, the fact was that Mu Qingge, who had only been in the Spirit Cave Realm for a year, was no match for Qian Shui in a head-on confrontation.

After a long silence, the Eldest Young Master said quietly, ”Actually, with his alchemy talent, even without the title of one of the ten disciples, he can still thrive in the East Divine Land.”

Indeed! He could rely on alchemy, yet he chooses to rely on martial power! Willful!

Everyone agreed with the Eldest Young Master Li Chao’s words.

Holy Level Elixir!

In the East Divine Land, and even the Four Seas Divine Land, it’s extremely rare. Holy Level Alchemists are just as rare as phoenix feathers. Mu Qingge being so young and achieving such accomplishments in alchemy, if known to the outside world, it could very likely make him famous throughout the Four Seas Divine Land.

At this moment, all nine looked at Mu Qingge with unified expressions.

That is, ’This junior brother is too willful!’

The bell rang, signaling that the competition could officially begin.

Six months later, it remains a match that is not favored. Naturally, the unfavored one is Mu Qingge. After all, they all know, Qian Shui wouldn’t be so foolish, getting tricked once half a year ago, only to be tricked again six months later.

The surrounding atmosphere inexplicably made Tong Teng feel a bit nervous. His hands clenched unconsciously on the railing, revealing his tension.

Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder, tapping lightly twice.

He turned his head to find Feng Xing smiling at him, seemingly comforting him.

After six months of interaction, he could understand some expressions Feng Xing intended to convey through his expressions. Usually, for simple communication, he judged based on Feng Xing’s expressions. Only when encountering complex matters that expression couldn’t convey did he use Divine Sense to communicate.

Feng Xing’s comfort made Tong Teng thankful. He nodded and said to Feng Xing, ”Senior Brother Feng Xing, I’m fine. I believe in the boss; he won’t lose!”

In Feng Xing’s pure eyes, a gleam shone as he nodded with a smile.

Across four stone platforms, Xuan Ying and Xu Bing stood together. The people standing on this stone platform with them were also female disciples of Huan Yue Domain.

Among them, many were supporters of Qian Shui.

Last time, Qian Shui lost, leaving them sad for a long time. They were also counting the days, waiting for today to come six months later.

”This time, Brother Qian Shui will definitely defeat this despicable guy! Beat him badly and kick him out of the Young Palace Mountain! Our third young master of Huan Yue Domain can only be Brother Qian Shui.”

”Yes! That’s right. The ultimate winner must be Brother Qian Shui.”

”Look at that despicable guy, with nothing but a good appearance, yet does such despicable things, tricking Brother Qian Shui to win. Our Brother Qian Shui is generous and admitted defeat. But my heart feels aggrieved and pained for Brother Qian Shui.”

”We feel the same!”

”Come, let’s cheer for Brother Qian Shui!”

”Alright!”

”Brother Qian Shui is the best!”

”Brother Qian Shui, you are the strongest!”

”...”

The voices of the female disciples drifted from afar.

On the platform, Mu Qingge swiftly swept his gaze over the place where the voices originated and looked playfully at Qian Shui. ”Brother Qian Shui is very popular!”

Qian Shui smiled softly and replied to Mu Qingge, ”It’s just the junior sisters’ playful antics.”

When he spoke, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, not as a display of falsehood but as a genuine feeling. It seems he was also helpless about these adoring fans.

Among the female disciples, Xuan Ying shouted disapprovingly, ”What’s all the racket! All shut up!”

Her voice silenced the cheering female disciples, each daring to look at her with anger or lowering their heads.

Xuan Ying’s cultivation was average, but she had a very powerful sister.

Therefore, among the female disciples of Huan Yue Domain, she was a leading figure. Once she spoke, she immediately stopped the expressions of admiration from the female disciples.

Once the surroundings quieted down, Xuan Ying snorted coldly. She looked at Xu Bing and said, ”Don’t you also know that guy? Even though that guy was heartless to me, we still know each other, so let’s cheer for him together.”

Xu Bing, upon hearing this, immediately frowned, feeling a thousand and one reluctances. She pursed her lips and bravely said to Xuan Ying, ”Senior Sister, the competition has started, we should keep quiet and not affect the people on the platform.”

This reason made Xuan Ying open her mouth but unable to argue, leaving her to glare at Xu Bing and compromise.

On the platform, Mu Qingge and Qian Shui stood face to face, Qian Shui said to Mu Qingge, ”The tactics from half a year ago are no longer effective on me. If you haven’t come up with a new strategy to deal with me in the past six months, then today, I’ll take back everything that belongs to me.”
