[v]Laugh at me for being a loser? You'll all kneel down after you awaken your talent!

Gu Yuntian and his group paced anxiously for a long time before finally catching a glimpse of Bai Huang leisurely strolling back.

"Bai Huang!" Gu Rou rushed forward impatiently. "I know you've always looked down on these trivial matters, but this concerns the reputation of our Gu family..."

“Who says I’m not interested in these things?” Bai Huang interrupted her playfully. “Don’t worry, cousin, I’m really into it now and will definitely give it my all.”

“We’re all family, there’s no need to distinguish between you and me.” Gu Nianci couldn’t stand her distant words and quickly corrected her.

"Speaking of which, Bai Huang, have you noticed that Madam Bai keeps glaring at you?" Gu Yuntian leaned closer, his attitude noticeably softening.

Bai Huang followed his gaze and met Madam Bai's complicated eyes.

She coldly looked away.

"Who knows!" Bai Huang's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"You silly boy!" Gu Rou playfully slapped Gu Yuntian. "Bai Huang stole her daughter's thunder, she's itching to get back at Bai Huang. But our Gu family isn't afraid of the Bai family."

Bai Huang chuckled softly. Did he hate her?

Let this hatred deepen even further!

"This year, let's try something new—no one-on-one competitions!"

Phoenix stood on the high platform, pointing to a small hill in the distance. "On the hilltop is a banner I've set up. Whoever can bring that banner to me is the winner!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Your Majesty, do you mean... everyone attack together?"

“That’s right!” Phoenix revealed a meaningful smile. “One-on-one matches get boring after a while. This year, let’s do something exciting—a free-for-all.”

Gu Nianci frowned. "Is there a limit to the number of participants?"

The test day arrived, and besides Bai Huang and the other main characters, some members of the collateral branches also came to join in the fun.

If Bai Huang hadn't been so ambitious, she probably would have remained an unknown nobody.

"Whether there are many or few, we'll take as many as we can." Phoenix's gaze swept sharply over the crowd. "The path of cultivation is inherently not one of perfect fairness."

When you calculate it this way, the Bai family really suffered a huge loss, with Bai Zhu fighting alone.

The Gu family, on the other hand, had a large and powerful force, consisting of three people.

The Shangguan family is even more remarkable; besides the protagonist, Shangguan Ling'er, they also have three six-star followers.

The Hua family...tsk tsk, they're quite unconventional, not sending a single person, which is tantamount to admitting defeat outright.

That legendary little madwoman seems to be quite unconventional and capricious.

"Mother, I'm all alone, what am I going to do?" Bai Zhu was very anxious, especially when she thought about Bai Huang's strength as a one-star Xuan Master, she lost all confidence.

That bitch will definitely find a chance to embarrass her.

"Don't panic." Madam Bai's shock at Bai Huang had turned into deep-seated disgust and hatred.

This good-for-nothing has been playing tricks on her since she was little. Now you find it quite amusing, don't you?

They even went to seek refuge with the Gu family, who were at odds with the Bai family.

If she had known this would happen, she should have killed this bastard herself!

"Once we get up the mountain, do this..." Madam Bai whispered something in Bai Zhu's ear.

Bai Zhu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if she had seen hope.

Gu Nianci handed Bai Huang a long whip. "This is a magical weapon I used when I was young. You can make do with it for now. Once things are settled here, your mother will pick out a better one for you."

Bai Huang infused his profound energy into the whip, and a buzzing sound immediately rang out.

"A Xuan-rank spiritual treasure!" A hint of envy flashed in Gu Yuntian's eyes.

It's a pity he didn't get a share.

Spiritual artifacts are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

The Heavenly grade is the most precious, while the Yellow grade is relatively common.

Powerful spiritual artifacts require profound cultivation to wield, and entrusting a Xuan-level spiritual artifact to a beginner is a waste of its potential.

"Come to this teleportation array." Phoenix waved her hand, and a huge circle of light immediately appeared on the ground.

Bai Huang stepped into the circle of light and stood right next to Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu lowered her voice, her tone filled with jealousy and malice: "Bai Huang, what are you so smug about now? Just wait and see, the real show is yet to come."

Bai Huang glanced at her with interest, flicked her long whip lightly, and said calmly, "Oh? Then I'll have to take a good look."
