Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

Not just Zhong Hua and Noah, but even Ming Ming was looking at Han Lu with contempt in her eyes.

Not to mention Zhong Hua, who was literally the princess of the Zhong clan, one of the four major clans, but according to her guess, even Noah had a deep background. Even though she had not seen Noah's ability, the way her 'big sister' looked at the boy, she could tell he was not someone who could be taken lightly.

As for herself, Ming Ming was not interested in leading a team. If she were, she would still have a better chance of succeeding than Han Lu, who was barely in his twenties.

Maybe it was her ego or pride that made her think that someone younger than her, who also appeared to be spoiled, could not do a much better job than her.

"How about we settle this with a match? You against me, whoever wins gets to order the rest!" Zhong Hua ignored Han Lu like he was not even visible to her and offered a solution to their problem.

Han Lu clenched his hands into fists, seeing the woman ignoring him. 'How dare this bitch! Do you still think you are better than me? Should I teach her a lesson… But there are also these two; I cannot act rashly. I will take care of her during the beast tide!'

Han Lu's face turned red in anger, but he tried his best to hide his emotions and turned to look at Noah, waiting for his response.

He wanted to get a better understanding of his teammates before acting. Despite his young age, Han Lu was someone who was very skilled in scheming. And even now, he was thinking of scheming to get his best interest.

Noah shifted his gaze towards Zhong Hua; he could more or less guess what the other two members of the team were thinking.

"Very well, since we don't have much time and energy to waste on these useless things, let's settle this with one stroke."

Zhong Hua smiled and agreed to Noah's proposal. What he said made sense. If they wasted too much energy on the battle, they would find it difficult to deal with the beasts.

After Ming Ming and Han Lu backed away, the two of them stood face to face with their weapons pointing at each other.

Everyone was given a weapon similar to the ones they had on their bodies before entering the secret realm.

Noah was wielding a sword, while Zhong Hua was holding a… whip!

Noah's lips twitched, seeing her weapon of choice, weird thoughts could not help but pop up in his mind. 'Does she have an S&M fetish or something?'

Shaking his head to remove the unnecessary thoughts, Noah moved to the side along with the woman, prepared to end this match early.

Their actions certainly did not go unnoticed by the audience.

"Who is that? Are they fighting among themselves?"

"Are those two idiots?"

"They should be preparing for the beast tide, not fighting among themselves."

"They will definitely be the first ones to be eliminated."

The heads of the four major clans also watched intently, trying to assess the strengths and strategies of the participants. When they heard the commotion from the crowd, they also paid attention to Noah's team.

Unlike the spectators, the heads, being veteran warriors, understood their intentions. They could not help but look at Noah in a favorable light.

"This is interesting," one of them remarked. "Let's see how this plays out."

Back in the forest, Zhong Hua and Noah faced each other with intense focus. The air between them crackled with tension as they prepared for the decisive strike.

Zhong Hua's whip made a soft hissing sound as she flicked it, while Noah tightened his grip on his sword, his eyes narrowing in concentration.

"Ready?" Noah asked, his voice steady.

"Ready," Zhong Hua replied, her eyes locked onto his.

Without another word, they lunged at each other. Just when everyone thought their weapons would clash, something happened…

"What just happened?" Staring at the screen, where Noah was standing leisurely behind Zhong Hua with a cold blade pressed against her neck, drawing out a drop of blood, left everyone speechless.

Unlike Zhong Hua's straightforward movements, Noah simply disappeared from their sight and reappeared behind the woman.

Calm wind flowed in the forest as the sounds of leaves rustling brought Zhong Hua and the rest out of their reverie.

'I couldn't even see his body move.' Ming Ming gasped in shock, while Han Lu was not faring much better than her, his eyes looking at Noah with unwillingness and horror.

"Is that enough of a power display for you?" Noah's voice came out like a whisper into Zhong Hua's ears, causing them to twitch in response.

"What kind of movement technique was that? It is even higher than my low-level earth technique." Ignoring that she had just lost, Zhong Hua asked the boy with sparkles in her marble-like eyes.

"It's a shadow-based technique that allows me to move at a fast pace." Zhong Hua's eyes widened, not expecting Noah to reply. After all, she was practically asking him about his secret, but Noah did not seem to mind others knowing about it.

This made her wonder if the boy had any other deep secrets or powerful techniques on him. "It's my complete loss; I couldn't even move after you acted."

Resigning the position of captain to Noah, she smiled behind her veil and asked, "So what's the plan, leader? The beasts should be coming at any time."

Noah lowered his sword and turned towards the other members of his team. "Do you have any dissatisfaction with me leading the team?"

Both Ming Ming and Han Lu shook their heads hurriedly, showing no intentions of coveting his position. In front of his power, Han Lu became even more cautious and decided to lay low for the match.

With the leadership question settled, everyone gathered once more to discuss their strategy.

"To think that big sister would be defeated by you in the same realm so easily, I am impressed, big brother." Ming Ming rushed forward and hugged Noah's left arm between her arms.

Seeing the woman shamelessly pressing her body against Noah, Zhong Hua's eyebrows twitched. He did not even look towards her and pushed her face away with his palm. "Tell me about the techniques you can use. Just the range and elemental nature is fine."

As the team began sharing their abilities and planning their strategy, the audience and the heads of the clans watched with renewed interest, eager to see how this unlikely team would fare in the impending beast tide.
