System Journey to Godhood

"Hey, it's almost over. It means that the next match is between Snowy and Xian Bu Yu. I hope it's worth watching." One of the examinees said.

"I bet it will be super intense! Who do you think will win?" Said another examinee in response.

"Personally, I think Sister Snowy will win… But that Xian guy seems to have something up his sleeve... "

"Sister Snowy, heh? Since when did you start calling her so affectionately?"

"Shut up! I'm just admiring her strength…"

"Do we still need this match? Actually, they'd been guaranteed to advance to the next round. Is there a need to be so passionate about it?"

"Duh... You forget that they have a bet! Of course, they need to settle this…"

"Uh, yeah… I remember there was something like that…"

"Now, now… Let's be quiet. Their match will soon begin."

As one of the examinees predicted, one of the contestants in the arena surrendered, admitting defeat, and Elder Nong was declared the winner of the match. Both participants exchanged a salute and stepped down from the arena.

After the stage had been cleared, Elder Nong invited the participants to the next and last match in Group Five.

"The last match…. Disciple Xian Bu Yu and Snowy enter the stage!"

Snowy entered the arena casually, her countenance still expressionless as usual. This kind of calmness made people think that even if the sky fell in front of her, she would come out just fine.

Xian Bu Yu also entered the arena with a calm expression. His steps were steady, and his gait was composed, but, in contrast, his calmness seemed to hide a dangerous feeling behind it, just like the calm before the storm.

The two of them stood in the center of the arena. None of them seemed in a rush to be the first one to deliver the strike.

"You must be feeling really proud right now. After showing off your ability, you must think that you've already won against me. You viciously tried to plot against me and shatter my confidence. Good, you're really good!" A burst of sinister laughter came from Xian Bu Yu, startling the crowds.

Snowy, on the other hand, kept her silence as if waiting for Xian Bu Yu to finish what he wanted to say.

"You're really hiding too deeply. I can't believe that you just learned all those techniques today. It's impossible! I've got better talent than you, and yet you did it better than I did. Who are you really? Are you a secret disciple that Sect Master's faction secretly planned to mess with my Xian Family? Is that why you mess with me?"

Snowy shook her head, "You're thinking too much. It was the opposite really. If you're not provoking me and Feng Xue first, I won't even bother with you."

Snowy's answer sounds logical. It was Xian Bu Yu who picked a bone with them first, so why did he make it look like he was the victim?

Unfortunately, as rage was clouding his mind, he failed to understand such simple logic. Instead, he took Snowy's words as looking down on him.

"Because you're such an eyesore."

His face twisted with anger; the corner of his lips curled upward, forming a hideous smile.

"You're similar to that arrogant wench, Feng Xue. Only because you're a little bit stronger, you don't put anyone in your eyes, including me! Just wait until I beat you! You'll show your true color, beg me on your knees, and act like the slut you are! "

Snowy frowned and coldly said, "You are mad."

"No, I'm just telling you the truth. After all, you're just a mere woman, it's your fate."

The words that spilled from Xian Bu Yu's mouth were successfully inciting the anger of the crowds. Not only did the female disciples give him the death stare, but some of the male disciples did as well.

Xian Bu Yu didn't care about the angry crowds and laughed like a madman.

Elder Song noticed something strange happening on the stage, but because the match had already started and neither of them had violated any rules, he didn't make a move to stop them.

"Is there a need to go that far?" asked Snowy.

Only Snowy had noticed that he had swallowed a suspicious red pill before going to the stage.

She just needed a glance to identify what kind of pill he had consumed and was immediately aware of what was about to come.

She didn't expect that he would resort to such action regarding the consequence.

Was he perhaps not aware of the effect of the pill, so he dared to take it? Or was it really his choice? If so, why did he do it? Human emotions were really complicated, Snowy thought.

Mistaking the meaning of Snowy's question, he smirked contemptuously.

"Kekeke… So what? Do you feel insulted? As I said before, I'm just telling you the truth! And now I'll prove it to you!"

Boom—!

Without warning, Xian Bu Yu's aura increased at an alarming rate and then violent power burst out of his body that even made Elder Nong, a peak Golden Core cultivator, feel danger. Xian Bu Yu's expression could only be described as maddening: his eyes turned bloodshot, a frightening smile stuck on his face, and sinister laughter came from his mouth, just like a devil.

"Not good!"

Elder Nong finally couldn't stand still anymore and rushed toward Xian Bu Yu's to stop whatever he was going to do. He used his movement technique and appeared in front of Xian Bu Yu in a flash.

"Disciple Xian, stop right now!"

"Scram!"

Bang!

With a single swing from his sword, Elder Nong was caught unprepared and thrown outside the arena.

"Pfff!"

He ended up rolling on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. That one strike from Xian Bu Yu at least had the power of an early Nascent Soul cultivator to be able to heavily injure a Golden Core expert like Elder Nong.

The crowds were stunned by the turn of events, and even the other examiners failed to react in time. How could a Qi Transformation cultivator send a Golden Cultivator flying? It really makes no sense. They immediately realized something was going wrong in the arena.

The Examiner outside the stage hurriedly went inside to help Elder Nong and stopped Xian Bu Yu, but unexpectedly, they were repelled by the barrier around the arena.

'Damn it!'

Elder Lan grew irritated by the blatant attempt to hijack the selection examination she oversaw. How could a barrier that was perfectly fine earlier suddenly become malfunctioning? If she didn't understand such a naked plot by now, she must be a pig!

"All the elders, let's attack together! We must break the barrier before something worse happens!"

"Yes, Elder Lan!"

While the elders outside were frantically trying to forcefully break the barrier, Xian Bu Yu was ready to unleash his ultimate attack.

"Kekeke… Nobody can save you today! Take this and die! "

Whoosh, whoosh—

A powerful sword qi that was gathering on the tip of Xian Bu Yu's sword shot straight at Snowy at the speed of light, leaving no chance for her to dodge.
