Shen Ningyu tumbled to the ground.
Among the younger generation of the Shen family, not a word was uttered. After a moment, Shen Ningyu realized her predicament. She had been knocked out of the arena, and the pain on her face stemmed from her face’s contact with the ground.
Meanwhile, Shen Lianxue remained composed and still stood on the stage.
“It’s impossible!” Shen Ningyu refused to concede defeat and wished to continue the competition.
The elders of the Shen family didn’t intervene because they, too, found the situation improbable. The winner of this competition would represent the Shen family in the palace. If Shen Lianxue had only won through luck and couldn’t replicate that success in the palace, it would be a significant embarrassment for the Shen family.

Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brow slightly.
Her impression of the Shen family clan had significantly soured.
Logically, in a competition like this, once an opponent was knocked out of the stage, they should be declared the loser. However, the elders of the Shen family clan were not adhering to the rules and were allowing Shen Ningyu to return to the stage. Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
Without affording Shen Ningyu any courtesy, Gu Chaoyan activated her spiritual energy and promptly kicked Shen Ningyu out of the arena.
It had happened once, and perhaps one could argue it was luck. But achieving the sfeat twice demonstrated genuine strength. The elders of the Shen family clan acknowledged it and even saw it as a positive development.
However, Shen Ningyu remained unconvinced. She made repeated attempts to reenter the arena.
The elders of the Shen family clan finally stepped in to stop her, recognizing that Shen Lianxue had evolved into a warrior, making any further competition futile. They firmly admonished her, “Shen Lianxue has attained warrior status. You cannot compete with her any longer.”
“Martial Warrior Realm?! How? Why?!” Shen Ningyu teetered on the brink of emotional breakdown, her cries echoing in disbelief. Wasn’t she supposed to be a complete failure, incapable of cultivating at all? How could she suddenly attain the Martial Warrior Realm?
She vehemently rejected this reality.
“Because I’ve made a breakthrough, and I’ve reached the Martial Warrior
Realm. There’s no need tor further explanation,” Gu Chaoyan stated matter-of-factly.
Shen Ningyu struggled to accept it, continuing to scream in distress.
Madam Shen turned to Shen Chengwang, seeking answers. “What is happening here?”

Shen Chengwang was equally baffled. How could he explain it? Both Shen Lianxue and Lady You possessed physiques that were deemed untrainable. This was a well-known fact. Yet, Shen Lianxue had suddenly attained the level of a warrior. The exact reasons behind this development were beyond his understanding.
Nevertheless…
Regardless of the circumstances, Shen Lianxue was still his daughter, and this was a positive development. There was no reason to be unhappy about it.
Achieving the status of a warrior held significant advantages.
“If nothing else, this is a positive development. Go and console Ningyu. I’ll visit Lady You,” Shen Chengwang said with evident joy.
Madam Shen’s expression darkened immediately.
In the past, even when Lady You was favored, her life had not been pleasant at all. It had been many years since then, and she had not anticipated that things would remain the same. How could Madam Shen willingly accept this?
She approached Shen Ningyu in frustration. “Stop crying. Your tears will ruin your face. Let’s go back and discuss the next steps.”
Shen Ningyu continued to sob loudly, but Madam Shen led her away.
Meanwhile, Shen Chengwang walked over to Lady You with a contented smile..
