Chapter 1737: Women's Strength
Yuan Tianyu, the eldest miss of the Yuan family, is currently on the viewing platform.
She came to watch how others fight and pick up some experience.
But when she saw Ye Liuyun and others in the contestants' lineup, she was so startled that her mouth dropped open and she could say nothing.
She tugged at Yuan Songping beside her.
Yuan Songping followed her gaze and was also startled.
Immediately, she sent a Transmission Voice to Yuan Tianyu: "Don't speak, we haven't leaked his secret; it's fine!"
"How did they end up in the competition teams?"
Yuan Tianyu asked, puzzled.
"The disciples of these great powers have odd temperaments! I guess they like slaughter, and this place suits them, so they came to join the fun!"
Yuan Songping analyzed in a proper manner.
Yuan Tianyu nodded as if she'd suddenly understood and asked, "If we just watch here, it should be fine, right?"
"It should be fine; they know we didn't leak anything, so they won't act against us!"
Yuan Songping said to Yuan Tianyu.
At that moment, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also swept over them.
He also knew that the Yuan family members hadn't dared to leak his information.
So he smiled and nodded toward them.
Yuan Tianyu and Yuan Songping finally let out a breath.
"See, I was right! He means we're doing the right thing!"
Yuan Songping added to Yuan Tianyu.
Yuan Tianyu was now completely at ease, waiting to see Ye Liuyun's performance.
She wanted to see just how strong Ye Liuyun and his companions truly were.
"Huh, why has his realm become a First Stage Mid‑level?"
Yuan Tianyu asked Yuan Songping, puzzled.
Yuan Tianyu's words immediately drew the attention of those around him.
But they didn't know who Yuan Tianyu was referring to.
These people were Yuan Tianyu's suitors, all scions of noble families.
"What's wrong?
Miss Yuan, do you know anyone?"
A young gentleman asked.
The young gentleman's name was Bai Muyu.
The Bai family was a local power comparable to the Yuan family, and the Yuan family was most eager to ally with them.
"Never say it out loud!"
Yuan Songping immediately sent a Transmission Voice to Yuan Tianyu.
Yuan Tianyu corrected herself: "No.
I misidentified the person!"
Bai Muyu smiled lightly and didn't mind.
In his eyes, everyone below was lowborn, so it was normal that Yuan Tianyu didn't know them.
Even if there were acquaintances, they were probably servants in the mansion, taken to replace Yuan family scions.
Yuan Songping also sent a Transmission Voice to Yuan Tianyu: "Miss, this will harm the Yuan family! Haven't you seen how their realms have all changed?
It shows that what they display isn't their original strength.
What's so surprising about that!"
Yuan Tianyu also sent a Transmission Voice to Yuan Songping to apologize, claiming she would be more careful.
Soon, the competition began.
In the eyes of these spectators, they regarded the battles as a competition.
But Ye Liuyun and his group treated it as part of training, merely real combat.
Da Huzi, the inspector from the Western Liang Royal Mansion, stepped forward and instructed both teams on the training rules.
"In real‑combat training, you must annihilate the opposing squad of five completely!"
Upon hearing this, Martial Cultivators who didn't know the rule were shocked and immediately grew tense.
Li Manfu had already spoken with Ye Liuyun beforehand, so they remained calm.
The surrounding spectators instantly began cheering excitedly.
"They don't seem worried at all?
The opposite side has Second Stage Early‑level Martial Cultivators!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun's composure, Yuan Tianyu couldn't help sending a Transmission Voice to Yuan Songping, expressing her amazement.
"They really have nothing to worry about.
I guarantee they'll fight to the end!"
Yuan Songping said confidently.
"Will his Monster Beasts transform later?"
Yuan Tianyu asked Yuan Songping again.
"Probably not! If they reveal their identities, they can't continue the game!"
Yuan Songping speculated.
"So what real level is their true strength, exactly…?" Yuan Tianyu kept asking Yuan Songping endlessly.
Yuan Songping was patient at first in replying to her, but later he only answered "Not certain, can't guess."
Soon the competition officially began, and each side sent a squad to the center of the arena.
But both sides still didn't know the rules, waiting for someone to shout "Start."
"Fight, what are you waiting for?"
"Once you enter, the contest starts!"
Da Huzi, the inspector, urged.
Only then did both sides raise their weapons and clash.
These two groups weren't worth watching; the strongest were all first‑stage early Martial Cultivators, probably arranged on purpose to fill the stage.
Yet the audience got excited at the sight of blood and death, shouting together.
"What are these people shouting about?"
"It's not interesting at all!"
Lei Ming boredly tossed pills into his mouth, uninterested in watching the match.
Long Nv and Black Panther did the same, popping a pill into their mouths whenever idle.
Only Man Shu and Ye Tiandao occasionally glanced at the match.
But Ye Liuyun immediately began cultivating, not even looking at it.
He thought this segment was set solely to please the audience and help Chengzhu Fu earn some Divine Crystals.
Yuan Tianyu had originally been quite interested in these contests.
But after Ye Liuyun appeared, he could no longer muster interest in watching others, waiting only for Ye Liuyun's team to take the field.
Finally, it was Ye Liuyun's squad's turn to enter.
Yuan Tianyu immediately tensed, leaning forward, watching them attentively.
Da Huzi, the inspector, also focused on the match.
The spectators outside the arena burst into loud laughter.
Because Ye Liuyun's five‑person squad had four women.
Those four were the only women among all competing teams.
Facing the audience's jeers, the women flushed with anger.
"Don't let others affect your emotions.
This is a life‑or‑death battle.
Even if the opponent is weak, give it your all!"
Ye Liuyun instantly sent them a Transmission Voice, saying:
Yet in this battle, their opponents were indeed weak.
The opposing team had only one late‑stage first‑rank Martial Cultivator, one mid‑stage first‑rank, and one early‑stage first‑rank, plus two ordinary civilians whose legs trembled even when walking.
"This fight is yours, four women—kill them all! Let those laughing spectators see the strength of your women! But don't reveal your true forms!"
"Can the Yuan Dan be kept?"
Long Nv asked, noting that it was their cultivation resource.
"As you wish!"
Ye Liuyun didn't stop them.
He probably thought that once the audience saw these women's ferocity in taking the Yuan Dan, they'd never mock them again.
Lei Ming brandished a great hammer and charged straight at the late‑stage first‑rank Martial Cultivator, while Man Shu and Long Nv, without even drawing weapons, rushed at the other two Martial Cultivators.
Ye Tiandao drew his battle sword and headed straight for the two ordinary Martial Cultivators behind.
The three Martial Cultivators opposite, upon seeing their level, acted very cautiously and dared not launch an attack.
As for the two civilians, they stayed far behind, not daring to step forward at all.
