Mo Xuantian, as the sect leader of the Divine Doctor Sect, possessed excellent self-regulation abilities, if nothing else.
Despite the major conflict between Wu Tian and Xiao Zhanyun, he acted as if nothing had happened, announcing details about the competition.
According to Mo Xuantian's announcement, the competition system was very simple: sixteen participants would be divided into four groups, followed by quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finally the finals.
In essence, it was no different from the system of the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Exchange Competition.
After announcing the competition system, it was time for the draw. Wu Tian breathed a slight sigh of relief after the draw.
He and Dong Weiqi were in the same section, not in the same section as Su Qiannai.
If he had been in the same section as Su Qiannai, Wu Tian believed that with Su Qiannai's abilities, she would surely fight her way through and meet him in the semi-finals.
In that case, he wouldn't have known what to do.
If it were in the past, given his relationship with Su Qiannai, he would have spared no effort to defeat her, even thinking of humiliating her.
But things were different now. Su Qiannai and he had an unusual relationship, and he had developed a strange affection for her.
Under these circumstances, he no longer saw Su Qiannai as an enemy but treated her as a companion.
With these pre-competition preparations completed, Mo Xuantian did not delay and directly announced the start of the competition.
Wu Tian was the first to appear, and his opponent was named Ding Yi, an elite disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect.
Ever since the intense conflict between Wu Tian and Xiao Zhanyun, all eyes had been on Wu Tian, with almost no one paying attention to Ding Yi's presence.
This situation made Ding Yi feel dissatisfied.
After all, he was an elite disciple, one of the geniuses spoken of by the crowd. How could he tolerate such a thing?
Therefore, as soon as the two stepped onto the stage, he said to Wu Tian with a gloomy expression, "Ye Shen Yidao, right? You seem quite arrogant, even daring to disregard our Divine Doctor Sect."
"Let me tell you, the Divine Doctor Sect is not a place for you to run wild!"
"Today, I will definitely subdue you and show you the true strength of the Divine Doctor Sect!"
These words were merely a formality. His main goal was to use Wu Tian as a stepping stone to attract everyone's attention.
After all, Wu Tian was currently the target of public criticism.
The disciples of the Divine Doctor Sect disliked such an arrogant person, each eager to teach Wu Tian a lesson.
If he were to beat Wu Tian soundly, wouldn't his status in everyone's eyes increase significantly?
Seeing the faint glint in his eyes, Wu Tian understood his thoughts.
He immediately smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you thinking a bit too highly of yourself?"
"What is your status? You are just a minor disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect. What makes you think you can represent the true strength of the Divine Doctor Sect?"
Hearing this, Ding Yi felt greatly insulted.
Ding Yi immediately became furious and said, "What the hell did you say to me like that!"
"Do you know my strength? Let me tell you, if you knew, you would be scared silly!"
Wu Tian felt that this Ding Yi spoke like an idiot.
He wondered how such a person became a genius of the Divine Doctor Sect. Was it also because of a good father?
He smiled and said, "Is that so? Then please demonstrate your strength next."
"Just don't be so boastful, only to come up with nothing in the end. That would be embarrassing."
Ding Yi's eyes widened, and he immediately stomped his foot angrily, his entire body erupting with intense spiritual energy.
Instantly, a fierce wind blew towards Wu Tian.
Sensing the spiritual energy in the wind, Wu Tian's lips curved into a smile.
Ding Yi had boasted so much about himself, but in the end, he only had the strength of the ninth level, low grade. He really didn't know what gave him the right to be so presumptuous in front of him.
Ding Yi was quite confident in his strength.
He raised his chin and said with immense arrogance, "This is my strength. What do you think? Are you already scared?"
Wu Tian was amused by his silly demeanor and then pretended to be scared, saying, "I see it. I'm so scared. Please go easy on me, okay?"
Although Ding Yi was not very sharp, he could tell that Wu Tian was openly humiliating him.
His expression immediately turned extremely unpleasant, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You good-for-nothing bastard! You're still so arrogant even after stepping onto the stage!"
"Fine, then today I will let you witness the power of me, a ninth-level spiritual cultivator!"
After shouting this, Ding Yi stopped talking to Wu Tian and charged at him with a clenched fist.
His fighting style was of a rather fierce type, designed to put heavy psychological pressure on the opponent, often knocking them down before they could react.
However, such momentum meant nothing to Wu Tian.
Moreover, Ding Yi's fighting style only looked fierce, but in reality, it was full of flaws!
As Ding Yi rushed towards him, a flash of lightning flickered in Wu Tian's eyes.
In the next instant, Ding Yi felt a terrifying pressure engulf him.
His expression changed drastically, and before he could even react, he had already fallen outside the ring!
"This..."
Seeing this, the participating contestants were all startled. Even Xiao Qilin was stunned.
This was because none of them knew what had just happened. They only saw a flash of lightning, and then Ding Yi flew out.
Wu Tian walked to the edge of the ring and smiled at Ding Yi, saying, "Sorry, I think I was a bit too scared. Are you alright?"
Even lying on the ground, Ding Yi was dazed for a few seconds before suddenly jumping up.
He said in disbelief, "You... what did you just do to me!"
Wu Tian said with a completely innocent expression, "Huh? I don't know. I just gave you a casual push, and who knew you'd be pushed out!"
"I say, maybe you lost your footing and fell, and now you're trying to extort me? That's not good!"
Everyone present knew that Wu Tian's words were complete nonsense.
However, none of them expected the match to end so quickly.
Ding Yi, unable to accept this, gritted his teeth and said, "No, this was an accident. I can't admit it!"
"I didn't use my true strength just now, so this doesn't count!"
