Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1024 - 917: Trapped by the Illusion Technique

Upon hearing Nangong Huo's words, Yu Man's face was as cold as frost.On the other side, Gu Xiaoyue became very excited upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, Yu Man, let's see how you can ever show your face at Ascension Academy again."

She was overjoyed at Nangong Huo publicly exposing Yu Man and Duan Gujin's scandal.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Duan Gujin's curiosity was piqued.

"Many people saw you and her entering the secret chamber together."

Nangong Huo shouted angrily.

"Haha, she and I were just practicing martial skills together, is that a crime?"

Duan Gujin chuckled.

"You two were cultivating in the secret chamber, surely you were up to something indecent."

Nangong Huo insisted.

"Where's the evidence? Why don't you show some useful evidence! She and I were really just practicing martial skills, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"

Duan Gujin said helplessly.

"I'm going to beat you up!"

Nangong Huo shouted angrily.

"Then come at me!"

Duan Gujin laughed heartily.

"You! I will kill you!"

Nangong Huo's body flashed and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards Duan Gujin.

He saw Duan Gujin standing in front of him, and then stabbed him with his sword.

When he was sure his sword had pierced Duan Gujin, his face was filled with joy, and he quickly stabbed several more times.

"Haha, you're finally dead! I won, from now on, Yu Man is mine! Yu Man, you *****. I'm going to destroy you in the future!"

The crowd then heard Nangong Huo's extremely arrogant words.

The martial artists below the stage gasped, looking at Nangong Huo on the platform as if he were an idiot.

They saw Nangong Huo stabbing the void several times and then saying extremely arrogant words, some thought he had gone mad after realizing his goddess was desecrated.

While others frowned, thinking Nangong Huo was likely under Duan Gujin's illusion technique, bewitched into doing out-of-line things and saying outlandish words.

In his extreme arrogance, Nangong Huo suddenly felt intense pain in his throat, and then he saw Duan Gujin standing in front of him with a wooden sword.

"How are you're still alive? Didn't I just kill you?"

Nangong Huo's face was shocked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"You're stupid! You were under my illusion technique, dazed by me!"

Duan Gujin coldly responded, then waved his right hand, pushing Nangong Huo off the platform.

Nangong Huo wanted to channel Primordial Power, but the next moment, he realized his power couldn't circulate; only then did he know it had been sealed.

"I was under his illusion technique!"

Only then did he understand what had happened earlier.

"I'm so mad! I fell for his illusion technique just now!"

Thinking of how he just declared he'd destroy Yu Man in public, his face turned pale, wondering how he'd face her in the future.

Using even his toes to think, he realized there was no way he could be with Yu Man anymore.

The martial artists below laughed heartily at Nangong Huo.

Nangong Huo's face turned red, and he swiftly ran away.

"Everyone, this round goes to this friend again. Who else wants to come up? If you do, now's the time!"

The elder on the platform shouted loudly.

The martial artists below eagerly raised their hands, wanting to challenge Duan Gujin.

The testing elder pointed to one, calling a martial artist over.

"That friend, come on up!"

The testing elder conveyed this secretly to the supervising elder while loudly calling for the person to step onto the platform.

The person quickly rushed to the platform, picked a wooden sword, and began dueling Duan Gujin under the elder's guidance.

This time, the martial artist was not very strong, defeated by Duan Gujin in five moves.

"Now, it's the sixteenth martial artist's turn. This time, I'm changing the rules. Whoever is ranked in the top hundred on the leaderboard, please raise your hand immediately!"

The testing elder shouted loudly.

Fewer martial artists raised their hands this time.

Gu Xiaoyue breathed out a sigh; not being in the top hundred, she didn't raise her hand. She glanced at Yu Man beside her, who raised her hand high.

Jealousy, envy, and hatred flashed in her mind.

"What should I do to get into the top hundred? If I don't get in quickly, it will be hard to get Ascension Academy's rewards!"

Gu Xiaoyue understood she shouldn't just focus on staying at the Academy; she should aim to be in the top hundred.

Previously, she'd been in the top hundred, but her last cowardly act dropped her to over a hundred and fifty, which frustrated her.

"The girl there, come up!"

The testing elder casually pointed at Yu Man.

Yu Man's face flushed as she quickly ran to the platform.

Below, the martial artists laughed, recognizing Yu Man as the main character of the earlier dramatic scene.

"Yu Man! Yu Man!"

Many cheered loudly.

Standing on the platform, Yu Man heard the cheers and quickly said, "Everyone, I am Yu Man, here to tell you all that Duan Gujin and I only went into the secret chamber to cultivate. We've been diligently practicing, and there was no romantic involvement!"

"Got it! Got it!"

The martial artists below laughed slyly, not believing Yu Man at all.

Yu Man sighed, grasped a wooden sword with her right hand, saluted Duan Gujin, and said to the elder, "Elder, let's begin!"

"Alright, follow my command, one, two, three, start!"

The three testing elders frowned slightly, secretly discussed, then unanimously decided to void this test.

However, they would cancel this test's results discreetly.

Yu Man infused her wooden sword with Primordial Power, rapidly unleashing Sword Qi at Duan Gujin.

But after only six moves, Duan Gujin knocked her down.

Her face flushed red, and she quickly left.

"This round goes to Duan Gujin! Next, it's the seventeenth round. This time, will the top thirty martial artists on the leaderboard step up to duel!"

Everyone frowned at the elder's requirement.

Soon, twenty-nine martial artists raised their hands on the platform.
