Reborn in a cultivation world with my Ex girlfriends-Chapter 59: The Romantic Duel Begins!

The next morning, the entire sect was buzzing with excitement.

Rumors of Wang Li's "romantic duel" with Yue Xinyao had spread like wildfire, and now, outer sect disciples, inner sect elites, and even a few curious elders were gathering near the Jade Moon Pavilion to watch.

Mu Qingling paced anxiously beside Wang Li. "I still can't believe you agreed to this! A romantic duel?! What does that even mean?!"

Lin Ruoyan folded her arms. "Knowing Yue Xinyao, it means trouble."

Wang Li simply grinned. "Trouble's fun."

Mu Qingling facepalmed.

A loud gong rang through the air, signaling the start of the match. The crowd shifted as Yue Xinyao gracefully stepped onto the dueling platform.

She was dressed differently today.

Instead of her usual dark robes, she wore a flowing purple dress, slit high on one side, revealing long, elegant legs. Her silver hair was tied into a loose ponytail, a few strands falling over her striking violet eyes.

The moment she appeared, several male disciples swooned.

A senior disciple whispered, "That's Yue Xinyao in her Moonlit Shadow attire... She only wears it when she's serious."

Wang Li smirked. "Is this a fight, or are you trying to distract me?"

Yue Xinyao smiled mischievously. "Why not both?"

The referee, an elderly sect elder, coughed. "The rules of this match are... unorthodox." He adjusted his spectacles. "This is not a traditional duel. Instead of a normal battle, the fight will be determined by three rounds of competition, chosen at random by the Sect's Destiny Wheel!"

The crowd gasped.

Mu Qingling's jaw dropped. "Wait, what?!"

A giant golden wheel suddenly descended from the sky, glowing with mystical energy.

"Let fate decide," the elder announced, spinning the Destiny Wheel.

The wheel spun rapidly before landing on the first round.

Round One: Martial Arts Dance Duel

Wang Li blinked. "A what duel?"

Yue Xinyao clapped her hands together excitedly. "Oh, this will be fun."

A group of musicians appeared from the crowd, playing enchanting melodies as the dueling platform transformed into a moonlit stage.

The rules flashed in golden letters above them:

Both competitors must fight using dance-like movements.

Points are awarded based on grace, skill, and creativity.

If one competitor stumbles or loses balance, they lose the round.

Wang Li groaned. "You've got to be kidding me."

Yue Xinyao giggled. "What's wrong? Afraid of a little dance?"

The music began.

Yue Xinyao took the first step, her movements fluid as water, spinning elegantly while her sword flashed in mesmerizing arcs. Each step was precise, calculated, and deadly beautiful.

Wang Li sighed. "Fine. If it's a show you want..."

He took a step forward, shifting into a familiar stance.

Back on Earth, he had been a parkour champion, always moving with rhythm and control. Now, with his cultivation enhanced body, he adapted instantly.

As Yue Xinyao spun towards him, blade flashing, he dodged effortlessly, using his footwork to glide across the stage. Each counter looked like part of a choreographed performance, blending agility with combat prowess.

The crowd cheered.

Mu Qingling's jaw dropped. "When did he learn to move like that?!"

Lin Ruoyan watched, her arms crossed. "He's not just keeping up... He's leading the dance."

Yue Xinyao narrowed her eyes. "Not bad, Wang Li."

She suddenly twisted midair, her blade forming a crescent arc of silver light, aiming straight for his shoulder.

Wang Li smirked, ducking beneath it and grabbing her waist mid-spin.

The moment their bodies touched, the crowd gasped.

Instead of attacking, Wang Li smoothly dipped her backward, his face inches from hers.

Yue Xinyao's cheeks flushed.

Wang Li grinned. "Your move."

For a split second, Yue Xinyao seemed caught off guard.

And then—her foot slipped.

The music stopped.

The elder raised a hand. "Round One: Wang Li wins."

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Yue Xinyao straightened, eyes flashing. "Hmph. Don't get cocky. We still have two more rounds."

The Destiny Wheel spun again.

Round Two: Alchemy Contest!

Mu Qingling gasped. "Wang Li, do you even know how to refine pills?!"

Wang Li shrugged. "Well... I guess I'm about to learn."

Yue Xinyao smirked. "Let's see if you can keep up, my dear opponent."

The next round was about to begin... and the stakes were getting higher.
