Chapter 4123: 4.1723 Confidence

Jiang Liushui slowly began to recover her senses.

She lost, she... completely lost, didn't she?

The girl's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, and with an incredibly astonished expression, she stared directly at Qiao Mu.

"Oh my god, she, a Level 10 Grand Spirit Master, was, at their first encounter, without even managing to summon a spirit beast, by a small Spirit Master who only seemed to be Level 3..."

"...thrown out of the arena in one strike!"

Jiang Liushui couldn't help but shiver.

It wasn't her imagination; when that stoic face's icy gaze landed on her face, she could feel the approach of death.

This stoic girl's aura was incredibly powerful, making her instantly feel an insurmountable sense of being unable to contend with it.

But, but why was this so?

Jiang Liushui took a deep breath, helped up by a few fellow students from her academy. Her eyes still didn't blink, fixed steadily on Qiao Mu.

At this moment, the female host, Dodo, also finally recovered from her shock, giving the equally stunned male host a hard kick.

The female host, Dodo, said with a smile, "Congratulations to this Royal Academy student for a victorious start, winning the first free challenge match! She will receive one hundred points! Congratulations to this Royal Academy student!"

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Numerous bewildered shouts drowned out the cheers of Qi Xuanxuan and the others.

Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below, then landing meaningfully on Hong Shang's astonished face.

The woman was currently looking at her with a suspicious gaze, as if she greatly doubted and didn't understand how Qiao Mu had managed to sweep Jiang Liushui off the stage with a single strike.

A young man sitting beside Hong Shang slightly frowned and quietly said to her, "Senior Sister Hong, can you tell what just happened?"

Hong Shang's face was cold. After a moment of thought, she shook her head. "Her movements were very fast just now."

Even she had barely seen when Qiao Mu moved, or how she had flipped Jiang Liushui off the stage with one hand!

It was truly baffling.

"Senior Sister Hong, you need to be careful. Perhaps this Miss Qiao isn't as weak as we perceive her to be?"

Hong Shang couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "Junior Brother Zha, then you are being far too cautious. It's merely because she has some talismans in her hand."

"I heard that our future matriarch of Radiant City is a Talismaster," Zha Pinshao said slowly, offering a hint.

A faint cold light flashed deep within Hong Shang's eyes. She scoffed, "Oh? Then let me experience the power of a Talismaster."

"I heard that powerful Talismasters, once they reach a certain level, can make city walls turn to dust with a flick of a finger, heh heh." Hong Shang suddenly let out a light laugh. "I wonder how far her talismanic power can reach."

Zha Pinshao smiled, lowering his head to conceal a hint of faint mockery in his eyes.

Senior Sister Hong had indeed been cultivating in the sect for too long, isolated from the outside world and uninformed.

In fact, there were many others who shared Senior Sister Hong's thoughts.

How ridiculous these people were. Before challenging, shouldn't they first properly understand their opponent?

Jiang Liushui's cautionary tale still couldn't make her the slightest bit vigilant.

It was clear that these past years, living in luxury in Radiant City, their lives had been too comfortable.

Zha Pinshao concealed the mockery at the corners of his lips, lowering his eyes indifferently.
