Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

And Wu Chang’an, who had previously suffered a loss to Chen Mo, saw Chen Mo attacking again and chose not to confront him head-on.

Immediately attempting to retreat and evade, aiming to utilize the advantage of high-tier martial arts to defeat Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo’s figure seemed glued to him.

No matter where he dodged, it was as if Chen Mo knew in advance.

As Wu Chang’an tried to dart to the left, Chen Mo’s movement paused, and a sweeping kick came towards him.

”Bang.”

The powerful force transmitted through Wu Chang’an’s body, instantly shattering the fence behind him. Sawdust flew as half of one foot stepped out of the arena. Luckily, at the critical moment, he channeled his True Qi to lessen the impact, then leaped up, landing behind Chen Mo, and stomped hard, charging at Chen Mo with great speed.

Yet, it was as if Chen Mo had eyes on the back of his head. As Wu Chang’an’s attack was about to land on him, he instantly turned around, raised his cultivation to Second Grade, and launched a punch.

Indeed, earlier, Chen Mo had only used his Third Grade strength against Wu Chang’an, leaving the latter somewhat unable to cope.

And now, it was even more overwhelming.

Fist and palm collided.

Wu Chang’an felt as though a giant mountain was crushing down on him, and the arm that clashed with Chen Mo had its sleeve shredded by the force transmitted, causing the back of his robe to bulge suddenly, lifting him off the ground.

The next second, Wu Chang’an’s body was directly sent flying, smashing through the fence, flew over three yards out of the arena, and then landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

”Pfft...” Wu Chang’an tried to struggle to his feet but only felt a sweetness in his throat as a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth, leaving him lying completely on the ground.

Medical staff were already on standby around the arena, and seeing the situation, they hurried forward, stuffing an elixir into Wu Chang’an’s mouth while diagnosing his condition.

The surrounding audience had long been in an uproar, marveling at Chen Mo’s peerless bravery, complimenting him continuously, exclaiming with excitement.

After all, attending the martial arts exam was all about witnessing the strength of the mighty.

Whoever showed bravery would earn their praise.

Some young men, who previously had their hearts set on Li Weiqiu, were now suddenly infatuated with Chen Mo.

In comparison to the exclamations below.

The private room beside the stands was extraordinarily quiet.

Everyone wore expressions of shock.

After a good while, it was Wu Lu who first spoke: ”Such domineering True Qi.”

As a First Grade Martial Artist, Wu Lu could plainly see that Chen Mo didn’t utilize any martial arts moves earlier, but purely relied on the domineering nature of True Qi to eliminate Wu Lu.

”Is this really the child of a farmer?” Wu Lu murmured to himself, having investigated Chen Mo’s background, finding it hard to believe that someone of such humble origin could grow to this extent.

Hu Mei’Er’s expression was completely stunned.

How could he be so strong?

For Hu Mei’Er, this was not good news.

Zhao Chong was even more immersed in the scene of Wu Chang’an being knocked off the arena by Chen Mo, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

With such strength, he truly had a shot at fighting for the top.

Xiao Yunxi, Zhao Fujin, and Zhao Jiangning breathed a collective sigh of relief, their tense expressions eased, and the first two even donned faint smiles.

Xiao Yunxi casually remarked, ”I didn’t expect the young Chang’an to lose.”

On the surface, she was expressing regret for Wu Chang’an, but in truth, she was praising Chen Mo.

”Chang’an has disappointed the Empress Dowager.” Wu Lu, thinking Xiao Yunxi was genuinely feeling sorry for Wu Chang’an, replied respectfully.

Xiao Yunxi shook her head.

Suddenly, Xiao Yunqi spoke up:

”No matter. After all, he’ll be a family with Lord Wu in the future. As the saying goes, no acquaintance without a fight...”

Hearing this, Wu Lu’s previously unpleasant expression instantly softened. Regarding what Xiao Yunqi had mentioned about Wu Xin’Er and Chen Mo.

Wu Lu hadn’t given his consent yet.

But Chen Mo’s performance at this moment made him qualified to become a son-in-law of the Wu Family.

Hence, Wu Lu’s displeasure over Wu Chang’an’s injury immediately dissipated.

It’s a martial arts exam, after all; injuries are inevitable.

”However, after the martial arts exam ends, I can use this opportunity to have a good talk with him.” This thought flashed through Wu Lu’s mind.

”What do you mean by ’family’?” Zhao Fujin’s expression changed as she glanced at Xiao Yunxi.

And regarding this matter, Xiao Yunxi was not particularly clear.

Indeed, she had previously entertained the thought of matchmaking.

But once Chen Mo showed no interest, Xiao Yunxi did not pursue it further.

Now it seems her father did make contact with the Wu Family.

And Xiao Yunqi didn’t hide this from Zhao Fujin.

He revealed the situation between Wu Xin’Er and Chen Mo.

Zhao Fujin felt a slight pang in her heart.

...

Below the arena.

All the contestants who had advanced were utterly dumbfounded.

The Innate Martial Artist Wu Chang’an was unexpectedly no match for Chen Mo.

The battle concluded in the blink of an eye.

This is simply incredible.

Li Weiqiu’s jaw practically dropped in shock.

Could the contrast really be this drastic?

How could someone act this well?

After calming his thoughts, he accepted the fact and felt a strong fighting spirit emerging in his heart, looking at Chen Mo with eager eyes, hoping to have a battle with him.

Yet Chen Mo didn’t even glance at Wu Chang’an, standing with his arms behind his back, eyeing the sixteen remaining contestants who hadn’t yet fought, adopting an arrogant stance:

”Fighting one match at a time is too slow; this position of champion, I, Chen Mo, am determined to take it. If you disagree, feel free to come up and fight me, or you can all come at once.”

Since things had escalated to this point, might as well go all the way.

No more pretending, I’m revealing my trump card.

”Boom!”

Chen Mo’s robe exploded, revealing wheat-colored skin, with muscles on his arms and abdomen that were handsome and well-defined.

A powerful aura radiated from his body.

”Fi...First Grade!” stammered a contestant.

A scene of astonishment spread at the venue.

Remaining contestants, witnessing this scene, felt their scalps tingle, faces turning a shade paler.

”Oh my goodness, this guy has been playing the fool to catch the tiger to this extent...”

The ministers in the stands all stood up quickly.

In the private room, everyone appeared shocked.

No one expected Chen Mo to be a First Grade Martial Artist.

A First Grade Martial Artist under twenty years old.

My heavens!

Whose subordinate is this?

”He’s mine, he’s one of mine,” Xiao Yunqi thought excitedly.

At this moment, he no longer doubted that Chen Hong and Chen Mo were the same person.

Because someone with a physical defect couldn’t cultivate to become a First Grade Martial Artist.

Wei Xian is a fine example.

Chen Hong was his confidant and had cultivated the Child Fire version of the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture.

With Chen Hong’s restraint, they could control Chen Mo.

But even thinking this, Xiao Yunqi didn’t dare completely rely on Chen Hong to restrain Chen Mo.

He must also win Chen Mo over.

Considering this, Chen Mo couldn’t just easily be handed over to the Wu Family.
