Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

However, seeing that Dan Yao and the others spoke up for her, Tang Xinyan didn't say anything more. Although they were of equal rank, they were still peak masters.

But her silence doesn't mean she's easy to bully. Is this a case of watching the show and then trying to trap her? Heh...

Tang Xinyan stopped Ji Zeyang, who was trying to stand up for her, and smiled politely at Bai Jinming, saying:

"Peak Master Bai, you flatter me greatly. I have only been a disciple for a short time. While I would not disgrace my master's name, I dare not presume to presume."

Qi Ming's junior disciple possesses superb magical skills and extensive combat experience, not to mention his cultivation level is already at the late Foundation Establishment stage. His victory is truly well-deserved.

As for me... I won't embarrass myself by participating. However, since Peak Master Bai has rarely proposed a competition, it wouldn't be right for me, as a junior, to refuse your request, would it?

I observed that my junior disciple Li Ming's cultivation level was the same as mine, and I had long heard that the array formations of the Array Peak were profound and powerful.

"How about I come with your esteemed disciple, Li Ming, to learn a thing or two? What does Bai Feng think?"

These words caused a stir among the audience, both on and off the stage. No matter how you looked at it, Tang Xinyan seemed like a little girl with virtually no fighting ability.

Compared to Li Ming, it's like an adult bullying a child. Especially since Li Ming is skilled at using killing formations, if you can't break the formation, you won't die, but you'll be seriously injured.

Dan Yao was the first to try to stop him, but Li Le quickly pulled her back. He secretly gestured for Dan Yao to look at Ji Zeyang, and Dan Yao turned her head in confusion.

Just moments ago, Ji Zeyang was radiating coldness, but now he looked completely calm and collected. After a moment's thought, Dan Yao swallowed her words of advice and began to wait and see him get his comeuppance.

Compared to everyone's worries, Liu Yinyin was extremely excited. She didn't dare to look Tang Xinyan in the eye, silently lowering her eyes.

He kept praying in his heart that he could see Tang Xinyan being knocked off the stage, looking disheveled and utterly disgraced.

As for Bai Jinming, he was overjoyed when he heard Tang Xinyan take the initiative to accept the challenge, and he didn't pay any attention to the changes on the stage.

Bai Jinming felt that Tang Xinyan was still young, lacked self-awareness, and was overly competitive; he felt that leaving directly would be a loss of face.

But they didn't dare to challenge the champion, thinking that Li Ming, who was ranked last, was easy to bully. Haha, they really were like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.

Since the little girl has practically offered herself up, he can't be blamed. He's currently last in the rankings and is quite annoyed.

Using this so-called genius to regain some face is not bad, but no matter how happy I am inside, I still have to put on a show of having a platinum name.

To avoid being accused by the old folks of bullying a child, Bai Jinming feigned difficulty:

"Well...may I ask, Junior Sister Tang, have you ever had any experience fighting others? Do you have any knowledge of formations?"

Tang Xinyan "honestly" shook her head and said seriously:

"I've never fought anyone, but I've taught myself some basic formations."

Now, Bai Jinming was even more delighted, thinking disdainfully to himself:

'So what if your cultivation level increases quickly? You're still a hothouse flower, easily crushed.'

Thinking of this, Bai Jinming tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, glanced at the audience, and deliberately continued to "persuade" them in front of the disciples:

“Junior Sister Tang, if that’s the case, I suggest you give up. Injuries are inevitable in a fight. If Li Ming doesn’t know his own strength and accidentally hurts you, that would be a huge sin.”

Tang Xinyan, however, still smiled sweetly:

"Peak Master Bai, it's alright. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and injuries in combat are inevitable. I believe that if I were injured because of this..."

"Master certainly won't blame anyone, after all, it was just a friendly spar. Similarly, if Junior Nephew Li Ming is injured in any way, Peak Master Bai probably won't be angry either, right?"

Bai Jinming felt that Tang Xinyan's words had truly struck a chord with him. This way, even if Elder Xiao was dissatisfied, he couldn't do anything to him.

Then, Bai Jinming changed his troubled expression and laughed heartily:

"Haha, Junior Sister Tang is right. Well then, Li Ming, why don't you have a little sparring session with your Uncle Tang? But be sure to keep your distance."

Li Ming was already anxious after losing the match, and now that he suddenly had this opportunity to prove himself, he quickly clenched his fists.

He stepped forward with an excited expression, bowed, and said, "Yes, Master."

********

A moment later, on arena number 1, Li Ming, no longer dejected, confidently bowed to Tang Xinyan and said:

"Please give me your guidance, Uncle Tang."

Tang Xinyan smiled aloofly and politely, and calmly said:

“Junior Nephew Li Ming, since it is a competition, going all out is the best way to respect your opponent. I hope you won’t disappoint your uncle.”

Li Ming had initially intended to hold back, wanting to give this junior uncle some face, and figured winning would be enough. But since the opponent was so confident...

He clearly looked down on him, so he'd show this junior uncle what it meant to go all out!

If Tang Xinyan knew what the other person was thinking, she would definitely sigh, "Like father, like son..."

"Uncle-Master Tang, please accept my challenge!"

With a loud shout from Li Ming, a ring of array flags instantly flew out from around him, then scattered to various corners of the arena.

Just as alchemists can use any type of pill in a competition, array cultivators can also use any type of array in a competition.

However, the competition did not stipulate that the opponent must wait for the formation cultivator to finish setting up the formation before engaging in combat. After all, when you fight the enemy,

They can't possibly wait for you to finish setting up the formation before they attack you, but setting up a formation does indeed take time.

Therefore, at the very beginning of a competition, array cultivators will first use array plates to establish a firm grip on the field, and then proceed with the on-site array layering.

Of course, to ensure fairness in the competition, this array plate, like the elixir, can only be refined by the participating disciples themselves.

Clearly, Li Ming underestimated Tang Xinyan, choosing to set up his formation on the spot, a decision Tang Xinyan seemed unconcerned about.

She just stood there, waiting for Li Ming to finish setting up the formation, and this action of hers caused an uproar in the audience:

"Holy crap, is Uncle Tang scared out of his wits? Why is he just standing there motionless?"

"I knew it! I see Li Ming's formation is quite powerful; he's not holding back at all. If Uncle Tang doesn't act quickly, he'll really suffer later!"

"Sigh, it's unbearable to watch. Tell me, why do you have to show off?"

"I don't think so. After all, Uncle Tang is the personal disciple of the Supreme Elder. Even if he lacks combat experience, he wouldn't be easily intimidated."

If you ask me, they might be waiting for Li Ming to finish making the arrangements before they take action.

“I think so too. Look at Uncle Tang’s face, he still has a smile on his face and doesn’t look nervous at all.”
