Chapter 607
On the descending path of Thousand Herbs Peak, six outer disciples from Sword Peak made their way down the mountain, their laughter echoing through the quiet air.“Turns out Jun Jiu’s name was just hype,” one of them scoffed, grinning.“Pathetic,” another added. “He surrendered the moment he heard we were coming to test him.”“Senior brother,” a third chimed in with a smirk, “this is Thousand Herbs Peak. They’re just a bunch of herb-obsessed nerds, gardening and brewing pills all day. What would they know about real swordsmanship?”“Exactly,” someone else said. “That disciple had no idea how powerful Sword Peak truly is. And he still dared to challenge us?”“Oh, come on,” one of them laughed, nudging his companion with a crooked grin. “They’re so weak—even if Jun Jiu showed up, he’d just lower his head and lick our shoes.”“Yeah,” another voice cut in mockingly. “And that idiot friend of his—what was his name? Lu Piao? Lost his arm trying to protect that coward.”The group burst into

It took less than a week for the story to spread.By the time it did, there wasn’t a single disciple in the sect who hadn’t heard it—Jun Jiu had crushed Hou Mei in the competition.The tale moved like wildfire through the Wudang Sect, growing louder, sharper, more exaggerated with every retelling.No one could fully agree on what had truly happened in that fight. The outcome itself had been… unclear. Messy. Controversial.But one truth refused to be ignored.Jun Jiu had never been defeated.And that alone was enough.The Wudang Sect stood across thirteen towering mountain peaks, ten of which housed the major departments. Among them was the Thousand Herbs Peak.Soon, the top five disciples from each peak would gather.They would fight.The rankings of the outer disciples would be decided in that battle—and with it, the allocation of resources for the entire year. Support. Supplies. Influence.Everything was on the line.And Alex… was already at the center of it all.These days, wheneve

Alex had hoped—truly hoped—that he would lose this fight.He didn’t want to become the Dao partner of Hou Mei… or Li Qingxue.Either path was a trap.His plan had been simple—force Li Qingxue into the spotlight as a Core Disciple, stir enough pressure and tension that Hou Mei would have no choice but to step back on her own.Clean. Controlled. Effective.But Li Qingxue…She had no intention of helping him.Not even a little.If anything, she seemed determined to do the exact opposite—crushing his plan without hesitation, leaving him trapped in the very situation he was trying to escape.“Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue said coldly, “keep your delusions to yourself. You are not worthy to be my Dao partner. Give up.”Before Alex could respond, Hou Mei stepped forward, her tone soft but pressing, almost eager. “Jun Jiu, you heard Miss Li Qingxue. Why not stop struggling? Come with me instead. Be my Dao partner.”Her voice dropped slightly, more intimate now.“We can even start now. I promise… I’ll

The referee stood at the center of the arena, robes fluttering in the wind as his voice rang out across the vast grounds.“This,” he declared, sweeping his gaze over the roaring crowd, “is the most anticipated battle of the year at Thousand Herbs Peak!”The noise swelled—thousands of disciples pressing forward, eyes burning with anticipation.“And now,” the referee continued, his tone sharpening with excitement, “we arrive at the pinnacle of the tournament—the clash between the first and second-ranked contenders!”A beat.“Who will claim the title of this year’s top outer disciples of Thousand Herbs Peak?”He raised one hand, pointing to the right side of the arena.“From the right—Hou Mei!”The crowd erupted.“She is acknowledged as the most beautiful fairy of Thousand Herbs Peak—ranked among the top ten beauties of the entire Wudang Sect!”Cheers turned into a frenzy of admiration.“She has defeated every challenger before her with overwhelming skill. Her cultivation stands at the p
Chapter 603
Alex stepped out of the arena as if the outcome meant nothing to him—no triumph, no defeat, no lingering attachment. His expression was calm, almost indifferent.But the truth ran deeper.He wanted to lose.Because standing at the top didn’t just bring glory—it brought attention. Pressure. Endless trouble that never stopped knocking at your door.The tallest tree always caught the strongest wind.And eventually… the woodcutters came.Across the arena, Elder Yu approached Li Qingxue, his robe swaying with quiet authority. His eyes, however, were fixed—sharp, intent.“Give me the pill,” he said, extending his hand. “I need to examine what kind of medicine he created.”As a respected elder of the Medicine Pavilion, his words carried weight.Li Qingxue hesitated for only a moment before reaching into her sleeve and taking out one of the pills Alex had refined. She placed it carefully into Elder Yu’s palm.The elder lifted it slowly, studying its surface… then brought it closer to his nose

“Wait—wait!” Lu Nan’s voice cut sharply across the arena as he stepped forward and bowed toward the referee. “I clearly heard him say surrender. Shouldn’t you be announcing that I’ve already won?”The referee turned, his gaze settling on Alex. “Did you just say you surrender?”Alex inclined his head. “Yes. I did.” He paused. “But that was before he insulted my parents. Now… I have no intention of surrendering.”Lu Nan’s expression twisted. “A man’s word, once spoken, should never be taken back!” he shouted.“And a man,” Alex replied coldly, lifting his chin, “never lets anyone insult his parents and walk away.”A faint, dangerous smile touched his lips.“When you lose… believe me, I’ll take your tongue.”A murmur rippled through the crowd.“Referee!” Lu Nan barked, his patience snapping. “You must declare my victory!”The referee raised a hand, leaving no room for argument. “The match will proceed. Jun Jiu has withdrawn his surrender and is willing to continue. Therefore—you will figh
