My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 455: Grand Competition Finals (Two)

Chapter 455: Grand Competition Finals (Two)

After the first two matches ended, Lou Mu Yan walked into the array arranged by the referees in the third match.

As soon as she stepped into the array, the scenery in front of her completely changed.

One moment there were scenes of her past in the Immortal Cultivation World; another moment she was in a warm gathering with the relatives of her Lou Clan; and the next, a scene where she was in the pampering and gentle embrace of Ming Xiu, looking at the stars.

The scenes in the array were all joyful and happy things of the past. Lou Mu Yan swept it with her gaze, then shut her eyesthose were all just passing moments, as transient as the fleeting clouds¹.

What she wanted to keep werent only theseshe would try to make the people she cared about happier and more blessed.

The Intermediate-Level Grade 4 Illusion Array was indeed really powerful. If her heart wasnt firm, she may have been lost in the warmth and happiness of the illusory visions in the array.

Around an incense stick of time later, Lou Mu Yan had an extra golden sword in her hand, and she swung a powerful sword wind towards a corner of the array.

Where the sword wind passed, one only heard cracking sounds and all the scenes in the array fractured and disappeared.

After the scenes disappeared, the array that enveloped Lou Mu Yan also collapsed and disappeared in an instantthe array was broken.

What, a Grade 4 Illusion Array was broken by her so quickly. Some pupils in the viewing seat couldnt help but exclaim.

Just whats the origin of this Lou Mu Yan? She used only an incense stick of time in all three matches, isnt this too exaggerated.

Yeah! And not only is she fast, but she also completed each task with perfection.

She couldnt be a Grade 5 Array Master right!

Probably not, her cultivation base hasnt reached Sword Venerable yet.

The pupils of the various sects whispered and discussed Lou Mu Yan.

In the viewing seat of the Heavenly Secret Palace, the pupils beside Ming Xiu were once again shocked.

At this moment, in their hearts, they were even more certain of Ming Xius discerning eyes. Seeing the Eight Extremes Sect pupil receive all the limelight above their own Sects genius who was considered a potential champion, they all felt slightly uncomfortable.

Bai Fei Yao was extremely upset and couldnt wait to go up and tear Lou Mu Yans nonchalant expression and gorgeous face apart.

Then the other pupils in the two groups woke up one after another from the Illusion Array, found the weak points of the array to break though, and among them was Di Shi Tian.

After resting for an hour, the top three of the two groups began the second round.

I announce the second round of the finals of the array competition.

There are only two matches in the second round. In the first match, you will need to arrange an Advanced-Level Grade 4 Array, with the time limit being two hours. Those who fail or have run out of time will be eliminated.

In the second match, the remaining pupils will draw lots to decide their opponents. The battle between the two must be determined by building an array. Other means arent allowed, and offenders will be eliminated directly.

Now, the competition begins.

Lou Mu Yan walked to her place and glanced at the array to be arrangedan Advanced-Level Grade 4 Mixed-Elemental Killing Array.

She had seen the image arrangement of this array in the Array Pagoda of Enlightenment and had memorised this array by heart, so she picked up the array tools and began to arrange it without any hesitation.

Her hands flowed smoothly and one by one, runes were stamped out, building the outlines of the array, then she finally activated the array flag to operate the array.

Once more, it only took an incense stick of time to complete the match.

Meanwhile those that were in the finals were still using their Elemental Energy runes to build the outline of the array.

Heavens! Is Lou Mu Yan a normal person. Even a Grade 5 Array Master cant set up an array this fast right?

I think she arranged the array quickly because shes familiar with the Mixed-Elemental Killing Array. You can see that she started the array without thinking too much.

That does seem to be the case. The Eight Extremes Sect is as expected to be a Sect famous for arrays. Their foundation isnt ordinary.

She must have thoroughly researched a lot of Advanced-Level Grade 4 Arrays to be able to have this proficiency.

One must admit that none of the elite geniuses of the Six Major Sects were stupid and each quickly guessed that Lou Mu Yan was familiar with the Mixed-Elemental Killing Array.

At this time, on the seats of the superiors, except for Headmaster Feng and Huo Ling Long, the faces of the other Headmasters didnt look quite good, especially the Headmasters of the Heavenly Secret Palace and the Vast Mountain Sect.

The Elder who was in the Array Alliance on the seats of the referees stared at Lou Mu Yan with sparkling eyes, This girls talent in arrays is too strong. I wonder what sort of dog-crap luck the Eight Extremes Sect has to find such a genius.

Yeah! Its just a pity that shes already joined a Sect, otherwise we must drag her into the Array Alliance right away. Another Elder sighed.

The chief referee smiled slightly and said: It seems that the two people from the Heavenly Secret Palace and the Vast Mountain Sects talents arent bad either. I wonder if this girl can beat them.

If there arent any accidents, those two are definitely both Grade 5 Array Masters. If the little girl didnt hide her strength, then she wouldnt be able to win. The Elder of the Array Alliance replied.

I sure am looking forward to her next performance! There was a gleam in the chief referees eyes.

The time limit of the first match arrived and four people entered the finals respectivelyEight Extremes Sect Lou Mu Yan and Di Shi Tian, Heavenly Secret Palaces Ji Tian², and Lu Chong from the Vast Mountain Sect.

Now the second match begins. The two winners will compete for the championship, and the two losers will compete for the third. The referee announced.

Headmaster Feng saw that both Lou Mu Yan and Di Shi Tian had entered the finals, and the proud smile on his face couldnt be concealed, which made the Headmasters of the other Sects feel that it was very glaring to the eye.

The pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect who came to participate in the competition kept shouting the names of the two as if they had taken some sort of stimulant.

Although their Eight Extremes Sect was known for their arrays, but no one had entered the finals in the past during the Grand Competitions for three consecutive sessions.

This time, it would be up to Lou Mu Yan and Di Shi Tian whether theyd successfully bury their past humiliation beneath a snowstorm.

Lou Mu Yans opponent was Lu Chong, and Di Shi Tians opponent was Ji Tian.

Junior Sister, your array talent is indeed good, but thats still not enough. Lu Chong looked at Lou Mu Yan arrogantly, but his eyes were extremely vigilant.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled, blinked, and asked: Then what does this Senior Brother think is enough?

Haha, your Eight Extremes Sect is just a broken house right now. Junior Sister, if you can set up a Grade 5 Array, you can still compete with me, but if youre just an Advanced-Level Grade 4 Array Master, then theres absolutely no need for us to compete. Lu Chong said arrogantly.

Hearing him brazenly say that the Eight Extremes Sect was just a broken house, both Headmaster Feng and Huo Ling Longs expressions turned ugly. The Vast Mountain Sects Headmaster had a face filled with smiles, obviously very confident with Lu Chong.

Junior Sister Lou, teach this arrogant pupil a good lesson. Someone from the Eight Extremes Sect couldnt resist shouting.

The pupils of the Vast Mountain Sect also shouted, Senior Brother, dont show pity and tender care for jade, quickly defeat this woman and lets see how that broken house can boast now.

No matter in which one of the six competitions, whoever won the championship, they would soar into the sky. Whether it was for his own reputation or for the Sect, or for the rewards, Lu Chong was determined to defeat Lou Mu Yan in one fell swoop.

The conflict between the Eight Extremes Sect and the Vast Mountain Sect was old and it was practically a dead knot that couldnt be resolved.

The competition between them at this time wasnt only a competition for the championship, but also a face-to-face competition.

Haha, Junior Sister, I can only say sorry to you. The pupils in my Sect told me not to show pity and tender care for jade. Are you ready? Lu Chong said with a confident look on his face and laughed.

Lou Mu Yan smiled casually, her voice soft and gentle, but her words carried a boundless sense of coldness, This Senior Brother of the Vast Mountain Sect. I really want to beat you up, what should I do?

The Vast Mountain Sect pupils were indeed so annoying!

¹I could totally be wrong, but as I translated that idiom, (gu yn yn yn) I remembered something Ive always been curious abouthow do these Chinese authors come up with the names of main characters? Some names are very obvioussome means peerless, some means magnificent, dragon, phoenix etc. befitting of names of a main character. But Lou Mu Yan? Where yan means smoke? (The mu is the generational name, thats why its Lou MU Bai, Lou MU Ting, and Lou MU Yanher fathers generation would have its own generational name, and same with her grandfathers. Not all families have a generational name though. Now, how the author came up with it, idk.) Then this idiom appeared and Im thinking could it be? The direct translation is passing the eyes like cloud and smoke. Which means that things are impermanent, and that everything was of the pastlike how Lou Mu Yan came to this world, and everything else is of the past. Honestly though, I could be totally wrong and thinking too deeply XD But maybe not impossible since a lot of Chinese names, particularly for these characters, are taken from Chinese idioms or sayings. Idk about real-life Chinese names.

²this ji () is the same as Ji Xuan from the Tianling Continental Tournament for Hegemony. He was from a superpower kingdom PAUSE. omg I just went back to take a look and LOL the author had two characters named Ji Xuan HAHA Now I need to go back and see if the author used the same characters for the name or not ANYWAYS, this Ji Tian might be related to the second Ji Xuan, the one that appeared as a participant in the tournament. I suspect theyre related but I dont know how, if at all. Which reminds me I should really update the character list and events, its like more than 200 chapters behind, but Im so not bothered T~T I think Ill do it during the long school holidays coming up in December ( )
