On the first day of the Yunqi Peak Grand Tournament, the fierce competition among the Outer Sect disciples concluded amidst countless exclamations and discussions. Su Yao and Lin Yue from the Heaven Vault Pavilion quietly advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, making them the focus of heated discussions throughout the Outer Sect and even the entire Yunqi Peak.

"I also want to serve Elder Mu," became an unspoken popular phrase among the female disciples, causing more figures to linger outside the Listening Bamboo Pavilion.

As night fell, the hustle and bustle of Lan Yun Terrace gradually faded, but Yunqi Peak remained brightly lit. Disciples either excitedly discussed the day's battles or meditated to prepare for the more intense competitions the next day.

Inside the Listening Bamboo Pavilion, the candlelight flickered warmly. Mu Xiaochuan reclined on a soft couch, with Su Yao and Lin Yue nestled beside him like two docile kittens. After the tense competition and their much-acclaimed victory, they had shed their sharpness from the arena, their faces showing a hint of fatigue but more so an undeniable excitement and relief.
