    However, Gu Chaoyan proved to be an exceptionally astute disciple. Her intelligence shone through as she stepped onto the stage.


    Recognizing the need to salvage some semnce of honor for the Supreme Sect, Elder Lin weighed the pros and cons. On one side stood a disciple with the formidable might of a Martial God, while on the other was a Paragon Warrior.


    With these considerations in mind, Elder Lin gave his swift approval, albeit with a stern warning, “Bear in mind, victory is not our priority. Our goal is to preserve our reputation. Most importantly, in the event of failure, do not engage him head-on. He wields the power of a Paragon Warrior, a force you cannot withstand. Understood?” Elder Lin emphasized.


    Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement, though she harbored her own intentions. She knew she must obey Elder Lin’s orders to alleviate his concerns. Her day had been filled with frustration, unsure of her role amidst the presence of Lv Zhengyang and Yuan Jia. Her mind raced as she contemted her strategy for taking the stage.


    Meanwhile, Yuan Jia was still on the cusp of a breakthrough, which justified her dy. Her motive for participating in thispetition ran deeper than Elder Lin’s directive. She intended to push her opponent to reveal his full potential, particrly his capabilities as a Paragon Warrior. Gu Chaoyan had meticulously studied her adversary and exuded confidence as she ascended the stage.


    With an air ofposure, Gu Chaoyan gracefully took flight onto the stage.


    The disciple from Moon Sect had initially contemted withdrawing from thepetition, but the presence of a Supreme Sect disciple changed his mind.


    He regarded the Supreme Sect disciple with a hint of curiosity, but soon his expression soured as he delivered a mocking remark, “Supreme Sect can’t even muster two Paragon Warriors to face me? How preposterous!”


    In response, Gu Chaoyan maintained herposure and countered calmly, “The rule stiptes that only disciples up to the rank of Paragon Warriors can participate. It doesn’t forbid disciples like me, who have achieved the level of a Martial God, frompeting. I am well within my rights to take part.”


    “Well, you certainly have some audacity,” the Moon Sect disciple retorted with a feigned smile, paying little attention to her. “You canpete, but rest assured, you’ll soon discover just how thoroughly you’ll be defeated.”


    With those words, he turned away, clearly preupied with other matters. Gu Chaoyan remainedposed, unfazed by his dismissive attitude.


    Meanwhile, the Moon Sect disciples were eager to conclude the contest swiftly, disying little regard for Gu Chaoyan.


    The initial exchange proved to be swift and intense.


    Traditionally, Martial Gods were believed to be ill-equipped to contend with the potent magical prowess of a Paragon Warrior. To everyone’s surprise, just as it seemed Gu Chaoyan might sumb to the initial onught, she disyed remarkable agility, skillfully evading the impending attack.


    The spectators from various sects, including the Moon Sect disciple, pondered this development. As the Moon Sect disciple prepared for a second strike, Gu Chaoyan once again managed to elude the iing attack.


    Her continued evasion began to frustrate the Moon Sect disciple, intensifying his aggression.


    Initially, her dodges might have appeared as mere strokes of luck, but as the pattern persisted, it became increasingly evident that something more was at y. The Moon Sect observers also began to take note.


    In a taunting tone, the Moon Sect disciple sneered, “What’s the matter? Are you just a Supreme Sect disciple skilled in avoiding confrontation? Do youck the courage for a direct confrontation?”
