Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Blinding Your Dog Eyes(2)_1

"Heh," Mo Lian, seeing Mo Ju’s dissatisfied expression, chuckled softly and said, "She defeated the Li Family’s Li Qianhua, who is already a Level Seven Phantom Master. He’s even more advanced than you or me. Besides, we have to hope she gets first place; otherwise, our position and business in Qifeng City might be in jeopardy," Mo Lian did not say that their status in the Imperial Capital would be lost as well.

When Dugu Qianye returned to the courtyard, she didn’t see Mo Feng and thought he had gone out. To her surprise, she heard a clanging sound from the kitchen. Walking over, she saw Mo Feng bustling about, with some stir-fried dishes already arranged on the table. She approached the table, stole a bite, and found it quite tasty. Mo Feng had managed to cook Earth’s food deliciously, although not as good as hers, it was still much tastier than the cuisine of this world. Hmm, he can be further trained.

"Why did you make so much food today?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Sister, you’re back. Didn’t I hear you won the competition? Let’s celebrate," Mo Feng said cheerfully.

Dugu Qianye set the table while speaking, "It’s just winning a match; is it necessary to celebrate?"

As he brought the last dish, Tomato and Egg Soup, to the table, Mo Feng sat down opposite her and said, "This isn’t just any win; it marks the end of you being called a ’waste’. I’d like to see who dares to call you that now, huh, they’d be taken out in one move!"

All of a sudden, Dugu Qianye felt as if crows were flying over her head...

On the third day of the competition, it was from the top twenty to the top ten. On the fourth day, from ten to five. Just like the second day, those who found the competition bothersome, like her, conquered with one move, smoothly entering the top five, while the other three Mo Family disciples were successively eliminated.

On the fifth day of the competition, five competed. With an odd number of people, one person got a bye, advancing directly. Dugu Qianye was lucky enough to draw the bye, progressing straight to the top three.

That’s what luck is! Many people looked to the heavens and sighed.

On the sixth day, only she, Ji Family’s Ji Anping, and Qiu Family’s Qiu Jing, a Level Nine Sword Master, remained. Having had a bye previously, Dugu Qianye was to compete first against Qiu Jing for second place, due to his lesser Phantom Power compared to Ji Anping. The winner would then compete against Ji Anping.

Qiu Jing drew his sword and said, "I’ve seen your matches. Although you haven’t shown your level, I believe you are not the so-called waste that can’t cultivate. So, I will give it my all, be careful."

"Good, you too," she took out her usual dagger, ready for battle. She afforded the same respect to those who respected her.

Qiu Jing charged at her at high speed, his sword drawing a slash in front of him, sending a Sword Qi strike straight at Dugu Qianye. Channeling the Formless Divine Skill, she deflected his Sword Qi with her dagger, then sprang towards Qiu Jing. They met in the middle of the arena, Qiu Jing thrusting his sword at Dugu Qianye, who leaned back while sweeping her right hand with the dagger, parrying Qiu Jing’s blade. Their weapons clashed with a wailing tremolo.

Qiu Jing backed up two meters, feeling astonished. His sword was a Superior-grade Spiritual Artifact, yet when it collided with Dugu Qianye’s dagger, it failed to cut it in half!

Dugu Qianye pressed her advantage, dagger in her right hand, while her left hand channeled a striking palm, making contact with Qiu Jing’s chest as he dodged the dagger.

"Puff." Qiu Jing was forced to retreat several steps back, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Dugu Qianye quickly activated the Ethereal Step Technique, circling around Qiu Jing, striking with her palm occasionally. Qiu Jing kept swinging his sword in defense, but he was gradually overwhelmed. At the right moment, Dugu Qianye moved beside him, the dagger against his throat, and declared, "You’ve lost."

Qiu Jing sheathed his sword and acknowledged, "You won."

Dugu Qianye also sheathed her dagger and complimented, "You’re quite good."

Dugu Qianye’s previous matches were all quick victories, surprising but not greatly impactful. However, her fight against Qiu Jing today showcased her speed and power, stunning everyone.

For fairness, the competition between Dugu Qianye and Ji Anping was supposed to be on the second day, but Dugu Qianye found it troublesome and requested to compete together.

Looking at Dugu Qianye across from him, Ji Anping said, "I don’t want others to say I took victory by exploiting someone’s weak moment. However, since you offended Ling’er, don’t blame me." After that, Ji Anping gathered his Phantom Power, and two moons and one star rose beneath his feet, attacking Dugu Qianye with the strength of a first-rank Great Phantom Master. For someone who had once been deemed useless, this was a heavy hand indeed.

As the attack neared Dugu Qianye, who still hadn’t reacted, Mo Lian yelled out in panic from below the platform, "Qianye, concede quickly!"

Conceding would prompt the referee to intervene and dissipate the attack.

Mo Jian sat up straight in his seat, gripping the armrest tightly.

The rest of the audience held their breath too. That was the attack of a first-rank Great Phantom Master—it would surely take her life!

Dugu Qianye glanced at Mo Lian below, her eyes no longer hiding the anxiety and concern, which was so obvious. It turned out, she really cared about herself. She mouthed two words to Mo Lian, "Don’t worry," and then waved her hand, releasing Phantom Power and blocking Ji Anping’s attack.

Ji Anping’s smug smile froze, as he found it unbelievable. But he quickly recovered and asked, "You don’t have a Phantom Power Source, so how could you release Phantom Power?"

"Who said I didn’t have one?"

"Then why can’t I detect any Phantom Power fluctuations? You don’t have a Phantom Power rank either," Ji Anping speculated aloud.

"You want to see my rank? As you wish!" Dugu Qianye replied and then slowly, two moons and five stars rose beneath her feet—a fifth-rank Great Phantom Master, a whole four ranks higher than him!

"A fifth-rank Great Phantom Master?!" Everyone was astonished. "A 15-year-old fifth-rank Great Phantom Master!"

"Good heavens, this world is turning into fantasy."

"Damn, I’m thirty and just made it to the first-rank Great Phantom Master. Is there any reason to keep living?"

"What the hell, who the fuck called her useless? If she’s useless, we might as well all go off ourselves!"

The crowd’s screams were unabating, and the Mo Family members were utterly shocked. They knew too well that six months ago, Dugu Qianye had been unable to cultivate, and now, now she was a Great Phantom Master?!

Mo Lian smiled, as only she knew all along that Dugu Qianye was no longer the same useless girl she used to be, though she hadn’t expected her level to be so high, far surpassing her own.

The patriarchs of the four great families in the stands were also stunned, but they soon collected themselves.

"So you had this ace up your sleeve, Family Head Mo, you’ve kept it hidden very well indeed!" The Ji Family Head said sarcastically. His Ji Family had been confident about taking first place, but now the Mo Family had pulled such a move.

"Hehe, the child just didn’t want to be too high-profile," Mo Jian said with a smile, yet thinking to himself: I got scared too, you know. This little girl, I’ll deal with her when we get home.

It took a long while for Ji Anping on the platform to recover, and then he said viciously, "Even if you’re at a higher level, you are destined to lose! Come out, Lei Bao."
