Indeed, the crowd was astonished, showering praises repeatedly.

Luo Bu'Er realized he had done a wedding gown for others, his face extremely unsightly, glaring fiercely at Li Ruhu.

It was said the banquet hadn't begun, yet all the exceptional talents had already displayed their skills, crossing Mirror Lake. No one was willing to fall behind.

Cao Family's elite, Cao Xiuxiu, with her delicate and alluring beauty, bright eyes, and white teeth, stood on the Black Water Turtle. Without needing to use Lightweight Skill, she could cross Mirror Lake.

Chu Family's little princess, Chu Mei, exhibited a martial art even more astounding. She directly stepped onto the lake, and ice formed under her feet. She walked with poise, her expression proud, her every move captivating the heart.

Ou Yezi watched curiously, understanding how it was done after a moment. Though Chu Mei's action was astounding, the secret lay entirely in the boots. These boots were the "Ice Silkworm Boots," freezing the water upon contact. Additionally, Chu Mei had practiced an excellent Leg Technique, combining with the boots to walk and leave ice on the water.

But just that is not enough for a leisurely stroll on the water's surface. It must be paired with profound Lightweight Skill; external objects and internal strength are indispensable.

This scene was already indescribably wonderful. The famous beauty in the city, Ji Hongyan, laughed softly and also attended the banquet. She stepped on auspicious clouds, flying straight across.

There is always a higher mountain. Others exclaimed that she was a fairy descending to earth. Those ranked lower on the Elite List couldn't discern the subtleties, their faces changed abruptly, conceding inferiority.

Lin Aoshan remarked, "Her Lightweight Skill may not be very good, but her throwing skills must be exceptionally powerful!"

It turned out Ji Hongyan had shot two Flying Shuttles beforehand, nailing them into the Heavenly People Tower. The Flying Shuttles were tied with Silk, invisible to others. She used Lightweight Skill along with the Silk, giving her the momentum to appear flying. The auspicious clouds under her feet were an extraordinary display of Lightweight Skill.

In the future, as Martial Arts advances further, the auspicious clouds may become substantial, and she might truly walk on clouds.

Zhou Shijie, seeing the momentum brewing well, descended from Dragon Gate Tower to attend the banquet. Ranked first on the Elite List, he must overshadow everyone; otherwise, the talents below would usurp the seats.

With his hands behind his back, he walked to the shore, pushing off forcefully. The lake water surged into a great wave, the momentum vigorous. He leaped, stepping on the wave's crest, his hands behind him, his demeanor graceful.

Carried to the tower by the wave.

This display was highly unconventional. The previous stomp stirred the great wave, a means of "Wave-Treading Skill." For him to perform it so effortlessly, he was at least at Great Success, possibly Perfection. As he stepped on the crest of the wave, the momentum carried him, showcasing his remarkable Lightweight Skill.

And with deeper meaning: while you all display your skills, I am the true wave rider.

Among the many experts present, Lin, Cao, Chu, and Ou Yezi all nodded in secret.

Zhou Shijie, content with himself, landed and flicked his sleeves, hands behind him. The talents had already looked to him as the leader. Spectators focused on him, revering him as the chief. Amidst his delight, he concluded firmly: "Since everyone is here, let's begin!"

"No, one person is still missing." Li Ruhu had been paying attention to the numbers.

Zhou Shijie frowned, "Who is missing?"

The crowd silently gazed at each other, each name flashing in their minds, one name ready to emerge: Evil Captain Li Xian!

Just then, a light boat drifted into the lake.

Li Xian stood on the light boat, neither showing off intentionally nor deliberately displaying power. As he sailed the lake, his thoughts wandered.

His wife's whereabouts were unpredictable. Li Xian waited a long time without seeing her return, so he attended the gathering alone. This Prefecture City had many factions, truly a "dragon's lair and tiger's den."

"Since I've come, let it be. Even if this is a dragon's lair and tiger's den, here I am, Li Xian!"

Li Xian thought confidently, standing proudly on the boat.

When he first entered the lake, no one noticed him. It wasn't until he was halfway across that the talents in the Heavenly People Tower, the spectators in Dragon Gate Tower, and the passersby on the lake shore noticed him.

Rumor had it that Li Xian's face was marked with an unusual appearance, extremely ugly. At this moment, before all eyes, his appearance was indeed unusual, with a red mole on his forehead.

Yet he was unmatched in beauty, with an ethereal aura.

"Is this... Evil Captain Li Xian?"

Inside the Heavenly People Tower, Dragon Gate Tower, and along the lakeside, similar exclamations were heard.
