Chapter 539 - : Dry And Boring
Chapter 539: Dry And Boring
It finally began. He nearly couldn’t take it anymore.
The two young people on the field were really confident and they all felt like they were the most amazing youngsters in their generation.
These two were disciples from mid-tier sects.
To be so confident to join the competition meant that their cultivation wasn’t weak either.
Under Lin Fan’s bored gaze, the battle ended. There were no shocking scenes, just blade light, and sword shadows. Sword energy just surged around. It was just a simple battle.
So boring.
Lin Fan turned around and looked at the wave-like cheers all around. He shook his head helplessly. This must have been the life of the young: simple and with no needs and easily satisfied. Unlike now when he needed true battles to make him happy.
Boring, dry, and looking at the excited expressions of the rest, he didn’t fit in at all.
The competition continued and many strong disciples appeared
“Brother Lin, look at these people. They are all the genius disciples of the top sects. They are shockingly strong.” Su Jing looked at the experts fighting. Deep down, he really wanted to spar with them too.
He was really weaker than some of them.
But even so, he wasn’t afraid.
He didn’t ask to get a high position in this battle. He just wanted to know what the gap was between experts.
“Eh eh.”
Lin Fan gave a simple and poorly thought out reply.
He had no choice. Since Su Jing already said that, he could only nod his head and agree.
When he saw the glow of excitement in Su Jing’s eyes, he knew that Su Jing was already captivated.
To Lin Fan, these young people would be turned to dust by a simple sneeze of his.
Looking at Xu Yuanming and the others, they were engrossed and would often nod their heads while evaluating.
The person that won the match walked off with his head held high. The person who lost lowered his head and was dejected. Of course, it was normal to see blood in battles but the key was to stop when it was enough. But there were still some vicious ones whose actions spread terror into the hearts of many.
Not long later.
“My turn.” Su Jing was really excited, “Guys, I will head over first.”
“Good luck, Senior Brother Su.”
“You will definitely win.”
Lin Fan nodded and smiled.
Sparring platform.
Su Jing looked at the person in front of him and cupped his fist, “Please give me some advice.”
He felt the blood in his body burning. He would definitely try his best to prove himself, that even if he is a mid-tier sect disciple, his strength wasn’t any weaker than those of top sects.
“Keke.” He was facing a top sect disciple who was confident in his own strength. As for Su Jing, he didn’t care about him. He only cared about top sect disciples.
At that moment, a battle broke out.
Lin Fan took a look and it wasn’t that he wanted to say anything. But he felt that the battle was too complicated. If he was the one, he would have finished it with just a slap.
For Su Jing, it was a tough battle. He didn’t expect him to be so strong. He was covered in wounds and had been in many dangerous situations. Fortunately, he kept calm and solved them all.
“Beautiful.”
Instantly, someone cheered and many people exclaimed.
They didn’t expect that a mid-tier sect’s disciple would be able to win against a top-tier sect disciple.
Although the process was tough, he won in the end.
“Thanks for giving a chance.” Su Jing panted. He was tired but he still cupped his fists.
The other person looked at Su Jing in rage. He didn’t think that he would lose to a mid-tier sect’s disciple. What an insult…
On the watching platform.
“Sect leader Xu, who knew that this mid-tier sect disciple would defeat Wu Sheng?”
Xu Yuanming smiled, “Wu Sheng’s life is too smooth and it is good that he is facing a setback. It will help his cultivation. But I think that this junior is really good. He is from Fallen Celestial Sect. Who knew that that old man could teach such a disciple. Not bad, not bad.”
Facing such a situation, Xu Yuanming didn’t take it to heart.
To look annoyed in front of them would be him falling for their tricks.
“So useless.”
Guixian Island’s genius disciple Lei Gangtian saw that and frowned. He recognized Su Jing. Wasn’t he the one who came to visit him yesterday? He didn’t care about him at all.
Who knew that Junior Brother Wu would actually lose to him? That was like a slap to his face.
“Senior Brother, I…” Wu Sheng walked to Lei Gangtian and was really embarrassed. Before he finished, Lei Gangtian interrupted him.
“Go and reflect. You actually lost to him.”
“Scoff.”
Wu Sheng lowered his head and felt really unwilling to accept that defeat. But he did lose, so what could he do?
In the distance.
“Senior Brother Su is amazing. I knew that Senior Brother Su could win.”
“Haha, you have gained face for Fallen Celestial Sect.”
“The top sect’s genius disciples aren’t so terrifying. I thought that there was a huge gap between us.”
Su Jing’s victory not only made them pumped up. It also made many mid-tier sect disciples excited.
So they could win.
“Don’t be careless. Actually, my cultivation is a little higher than his.” Su Jing said. He knew that the opponent’s cultivation was terrifying and he nearly lost. If not for his strong foundations, the outcome would have been uncertain.
“Senior Brother Su, why are you saying all this? You won. Moreover, the top sect’s cultivation techniques are much stronger than us. In comparison, there is not much difference.”
“Right, right.”
Lin Fan waited quietly. During this period of time, he saw what would only happen to protagonists. He saw how hopeless disciples were able to suddenly shock everyone by beat someone who was thought to be unbeatable.
This caused an uproar.
This wasn’t important to Lin Fan.
It didn’t matter to Lin Fan no matter what happened.
What he was focusing on wasn’t all this but for Zhou Ruo to fight. Once the competition ended, it would be his turn.
Finally, while thousands watched, it was Zhou Ruo’s turn.
“Next battle, Guixian Island Lei Gangtian versus Cold Moon Palace Zhou Ruo.”
Uproar!
Lei Gangtian was Guixian Island’s top genius and was a really strong person in this generation.
As for Zhou Ruo, they had never heard of her and felt like she was easy pickings.
At that moment, Lei Gangtian walked up the stage and locked eyes on Zhou Ruo. A fierce gaze flashed in his eyes. So, they were together. Good, I willl use your life to wash off the humiliation that Wu Sheng brought to Guixian Island.
Zhou Ruo was nervous but she wasn’t afraid.
“Junior Sister Zhou, wait.” Su Jing stopped her, “Junior Sister Zhou, you aren’t his opponent, so admit defeat.”
Su Jing didn’t expect Zhou Ruo to face Lei Gangtian. He was the disciple who they went to visit.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
He felt that Lei Gangtian wasn’t someone who would show mercy.
Lin Fan said, “Brother Su is right. Junior Sister Zhou better admit defeat. You aren’t his match and he is just one step away from God Essence Realm. If one included treasures, even God Essence Realm experts won’t be able to do anything about him.”
He didn’t expect that Guixian Island’s top disciple reached such a realm. It seemed like they placed much effort on him.
Zhou Ruo’s cheeks turned red. The reason wasn’t because of Su Jing’s reminder but Lin Fan’s which she treated as concern.
But because of that, it gave her courage and determination.
She couldn’t retreat and had to prove herself that even if she would lose, she wouldn’t be afraid.
“Thank you Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Su for your concern but this chance is rare and I don’t want to lose it. I also don’t want to throw my sect’s face because I admit defeat. Don’t worry, I will admit defeat if the situation gets worse but now is not the time.”
Zhou Ruo wasn’t afraid. He stared at Lin Fan with her watery eyes and hoped that he would cheer for her.
Lin Fan was helpess. He just reminded her, so why was she looking at him with those eyes? It made him panic a little.
“Zhou Ruo, please head up.”
They rushed her.
Zhou Ruo picked up her courage and walked up.
The disciples looked at her and discussed.
“This little sister is finished.”
“Obviously, she is actually facing Lei Gangtian. She won’t even know how she dies. Let’s hope that Lei Gangtian can show her mercy and not be too vicious.”
Zhou Ruo faced the strongest disciple from Guixian Island and cupped her fists, “I have heard of Senior Brother Lei for a long time. Please give me advice.”
Lei Gangtian laughed coldly. His gaze gave one enormous pressure and made Zhou Ruo feel a lot more stressed. She had never faced such an opponent who could make her feel terror with just a gaze.
Zhou Ruo instinctively wanted to retreat but when she thought about how Senior Brother Lin was looking, obviously she couldn’t retreat.
With a clang, she pulled her sword out and waited.
“Your courage is commendable. So, I will let you use all your skills. Maybe this will be your last chance.” Lei Gangtian said.
Zhou Ruo was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant.
Right at that moment, the competition began.
Zhou Ruo gritted her teeth, pulling out her blade to strike. Instantly, her body was shining bright with sword energy, locking up his paths of movement.
This series of swords caused the disciples below to exclaim. They didn’t expect this little girl to be so amazing as they had all underestimated her.
On the contrary, Lei Gangtian didn’t move at all and his expression didn’t change. It was as if these sword moves weren’t worth anything to him.
Sweat beats appeared on Zhou Ruo’s forehead.
Although she didn’t get close to him, him standing there made her feel an invisible pressure.
Suddenly, a voice spread out.
“Kidsplay.” Lei Gangtian opened his mouth. His tone was filled with disdain. He didn’t care about her attacks at all.
“What?” Zhou Ruo was stunned. It was as if she had heard wrongly.
Shortly after, Lei Gangtian stepped forwards and his body disappeared. He appeared right in front of her, raising his hand and clenching it into a fist. Light gathered on his fist as he punched.
With a kacha, the fist smashed onto the tip of the sword and a shocking power exploded. The sword in her hand shattered and a power struck through the sword onto her body.
Puchi!
She flew backwards and spat out a mouthful of blood before hitting the ground.
Instakill.
She didn’t even have time to react at all.
Everyone present was stunned.
No one expected Lei Gangtian to be so terrifying.
Lei Gangtian laughed coldly and lowered his head at the broken sword. He kicked and the half a sword flew towards Zhou Ruo like an arrow.
If this hit, naturally, she would die.
“Be careful…”
Su Jing and the others exclaimed.
But it was too late. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Some closed their eyes and couldn’t bear to watch.
Was there such a need for such vicious actions in a sparring session?
Lin Fan shook his head and disappeared from the spot. He appeared beside Zhou Ruo and with a raise of his finger, the space around started to ripple.
The sword flying over started to fly in the opposite direction due to some sort of power and strike towards Lei Gangtian.
It was extremely quick.
Lei Gangtian couldn’t react at all. He was still smiling, and in his heart, Zhou Ruo was dead.
With a puchi, the sword pierced through his throat without any blood at all.
Once everyone reacted, they noticed that a hole had appeared in Lei Gangtian’s throat and large amounts of fresh blood surged out.
With a thud, he fell backwards onto the ground.
Lin Fan waved his sleeves and Zhou Ruo’s body flew. At the same time, her injuries were healed and she landed in the crowd.
“Sect Leaders, long time no see. Do you remember me?” Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze was a provocative one.
It was his turn now.
He had watched a bunch of kids fool around.
It was so dry and boring.
