The next morning, Lin Yu woke early, his heart still racing from the previous night’s training. Memories of Xu Wei’s touch and their brief, intimate moment replayed in his mind, filling him with a mix of excitement and confusion. He shook his head, trying to focus on the task at hand.

Today was a significant day for the Blue Moon Sect. It was the day of the inter-sect competition, an event that drew young cultivators from various sects to test their skills and showcase their prowess. Lin Yu, though new to the sect, had been encouraged by his master and Xu Wei to participate. The opportunity filled Lin Yu with both anticipation and trepidation. He was eager to prove his abilities, but he also knew the competition would be fierce.

The competition was held in the grand arena of the Blue Moon Sect, a vast open space surrounded by tiered seating that could accommodate thousands of spectators.

Xu Wei, ever the supportive senior brother, stood by Lin Yu’s side as they prepared for the competition. “Remember, Lin Yu,” he said, his voice calm and reassuring, “this is your chance to show what you’ve learned. Trust in your abilities and stay focused.”Lin Yu nodded, taking a deep breath.

“I will, Xu Wei. Thank you for everything.”

The competition was divided into various categories, with separate events for senior and junior disciples. Lin Yu was entered in the junior division, while Xu Wei, being one of the top disciples of the Blue Moon Sect, was a key contender in the senior division.

As the events began, Lin Yu watched in awe as Xu Wei took to the arena. His senior brother’s movements were a blur of precision and power, each strike and counterstrike executed with flawless grace. Xu Wei’s opponents, formidable as they were, could barely keep up with his speed and skill. It was no surprise when Xu Wei emerged victorious, securing the first position with ease.

Lin Yu felt a surge of pride and inspiration as Xu Wei received his accolades. He was determined to do his best in the junior competition, not just for himself but also to honor Xu Wei’s mentorship.

When it was time for the junior division, Lin Yu stepped into the arena, his heart pounding. The first few rounds went smoothly, his training and natural aptitude helping him advance through the ranks. However, as he progressed, the challenges grew tougher.

In the semifinal round, Lin Yu faced a cultivator from the Dark Blood Sect, a notoriously aggressive and arrogant group.
His opponent, Jin Hao, had a reputation for his ruthlessness and disdain for weaker opponents.As they squared off, Jin Hao sneered at Lin Yu. “You think you can beat me, newbie? I’ll show you your place.”

Lin Yu’s determination only grew stronger. He had faced bullies before, and he wasn’t about to let Jin Hao intimidate him. The match began with Jin Hao launching a series of rapid, powerful attacks, his strikes aimed to overwhelm and dominate.

Lin Yu dodged and parried, using his agility to avoid Jin Hao’s brutal onslaught. He remembered Xu Wei’s teachings, focusing on staying calm and finding openings in his opponent’s attacks.

As the fight progressed, Lin Yu’s confidence grew. He began to counter Jin Hao’s moves with increasing precision, his strikes landing with unexpected force.The turning point came when Jin Hao, frustrated by his inability to land a decisive blow, overextended himself in a reckless attack.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity, channeling his Qi into a powerful counterstrike that sent Jin Hao sprawling to the ground.The arena erupted in cheers as Lin Yu was declared the winner. He had not only defeated a formidable opponent but had also earned the respect of his peers and the audience.

His performance in the semifinals secured him a place in the final round, where he ultimately ranked third in the junior division.

As Lin Yu stepped down from the arena, he was met with applause and congratulations from his fellow disciples.
Xu Wei approached him, a proud smile on his face.“You did exceptionally well, Lin Yu,” Xu Wei said, his eyes shining with pride.

“Your hard work and determination paid off.”Lin Yu’s cheeks flushed with a mix of pride and modesty.

“Thank you, Xu Wei. I couldn’t have done it without your guidance.”

Xu Wei placed a hand on Lin Yu’s shoulder, his touch warm and reassuring. “This is just the beginning, Lin Yu. You have great potential. Keep pushing yourself, and you’ll achieve even greater heights.”

With a soft, affectionate smile, Xu Wei gently touched Lin Yu’s head, ruffling his hair in an intimate gesture that sent a rush of warmth through Lin Yu.

“I’m proud of you,” Xu Wei said quietly, his eyes holding a depth of emotion that made Lin Yu’s heart race.Lin Yu looked up at Xu Wei, his eyes wide with gratitude and something more.

He could feel his face growing hotter, the blush spreading across his cheeks. “Thank you, Xu Wei. Your belief in me means a lot.”As they walked back to their quarters, side by side, Lin Yu couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of accomplishment.

The competition had been a significant milestone in his journey, and the bond between him and Xu Wei had grown even stronger.
