Chapter 177 Fighting Chen Li!
The matches continued as many young talents fought each other, trying to prove themselves in this arena, and people were constantly cheering for the competitors.
In the VIP area of Lunar Blossom Pavillion,
Lying on the couch, Ling Chao slowly opened her eyes and Ling Huang's familiar face came into her view "Elder Huang..." she murmured softly, the words barely escaping her lips. Ling Huang smiled and gently patted her head. "Just rest for now."
Ling Chen, who was sitting on another couch, said, "Chao'er, you still have a chance. Those who lost in this 1vs. 1 will fight each other later."
"And if you win those two matches, then you can participate in the third and final round tomorrow."
Ling Xin chuckled wryly. "I remembered the day Chen'er won fifth place in the tournament. Everyone was surprised that a woman from a weak sect won fifth place."
"And many other top sects even demanded Chen'er to join their sect. Especially Frozen Peak sect after witnessing her ice prowess. But she rejected them all. Haha..."
Ling Chen spoke in a solemn tone "I belong to the Lunar Blossom Sect, how can I go to a different sect?"
Smiling, Ling Xin spoke "Well, i am glad you stayed."
Ling Chen shook her head and turned her gaze towards Zhao Tian who is near Ning Xue "As the Sect's Guardian, he didn't even take any steps when we were shamed in the arena."
Ling Huang spoke defending him "What do you expect little brother to do? If he intervened, our Chao'er would have been eliminated."
Ling Meiying also gave a slight nod "Yeah, Husband could not do anything at that point."
"HUSBAND?!!!" x4
Eh? Ling Meiying, taken aback, blinked her eyes in surprise looking at all of them shouting at the same time "What's wrong with calling my Husband as Husband?"
Hmm. Ling Huang also thought that it is a good name to call Zhao Tian, while Ling Xin shook her head helplessly and Ling Chen slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at Ling Meiying.
Meanwhile, Ling Chao's jaw is on the floor as she stammered "E-Elder Meiying, why are you calling him as Husband?"
Ling Xin realized that Ling Chao didn't know what happened and proceeded to explain.
...
In the Stormweaver Sect area-
Lang Jian spoke with a slight frown on his eyebrows as he glanced at other participants from the Chen sect dominating the arena "The Chen Sect is back at it again after 35 years huh."
The first elder who is near him spoke "Yeah, they were once the strongest sect in the whole land of Zhenzhu but after the failure of the coup 35 years ago, their sect went into decline."
The second elder couldn't help but remark "I am surprised the sect has not been destroyed by the Queen, after all the things they did since they are the main forces during the coup."
Lang Jian glared at both of them and both elders felt a shiver run down their spines, seeing his cold eyes "Don't talk about that here. You idiots."
"Forgive us Sect Master."
"We won't speak about that again."
...
The announcer's voice boomed throughout the arena "The next match, Zhao Tian from the Royal Academy vs Chen Li from the Chen Sect."
Eh? The people from the Royal Academy were dumbfounded as they had never heard of a such a name in their whole academy.
Who is Zhao Tian?
E-Eh? Ling Huang stood up from her seat in shock "Little brother?"
Ling Xin blinked her eyes in confusion. "Did I hear the name right? Mr.Tian?"
Ling Chen's eye dilated in surprise. "But how can he join the tournament? His age is-" she stopped speaking as she again remembered his age and her face darkened.
Fricking 21 years old!
Ling Chao was bewildered hearing his name "Why is Senior Tian there?"
Ling Meiying rolled her eyes "Well, Husband's age is 21 years. So he can enter the competition..."
A smile spread across Ling Huang's cheeks as she spoke "Little brother is fighting Chen Li. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
Ling Xin also realized "Yeah, if he is with Sister Xue, then maybe..." she muttered turning her head to Ling Chao.
Ling Chao's heart fluttered with emotions as she also realized, "Then he came for me?"
...
Zhao Tian stepped into the arena and seeing him the people were surprised. "He is the one standing with.. Her Majesty."
The students and teachers from the Royal Academy looked at each other stupefied, as they had never seen Zhao Tian in their academy.
Seeing Zhao Tian, Chen Li raised an eyebrow and recognized him standing beside Ning Xue "So I got to fight you huh." he muttered, swirling the spear in his hand.
The announcer spoke "The competitors are ready, FIGHT!"
*swoosh* With a swift, fluid motion, Chen Li quickly moved towards Zhao Tian, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. as he swung his spear to his face. Zhao Tian simply raised his hand, blocking the spear, and Chen Li felt the spear reverberating in his hand as he felt hitting a wall.
Huh? Chen Li was startled and he took a step back and did a spin, again lunging the shaft of the spear towards Zhao Tian's abdomen.
*thud* Zhao Tian caught the spear in his hand and gripped his palm *crack* suddenly cracks appeared on the spear's surface, and *thrash* *clank* Zhao Tian thrashed the spear to the side, the sound of metal clanking against the floor as the broken pieces scattered around him. The audience gasped in shock as Zhao Tian easily crushed the spear within his pams. Chen Li narrowed his gaze as the broken spear slipped from his grasp and in the next instant *thrissh* cracks of purple lightning flashed around his body "I didn't expect anyone in this tournament would force me to use my elemental cultivation technique."
Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow seeing his arrogance and *swish* in the next instant, appearing in front of Chen Li he gave a punch at his face.
Wha- Chen Li's face got crushed by his punch and *swoosh* *boom* he was blasted away at the wall of the arena as the wall cracked like a spider web.
HUH? Chen Luo from the VIP room stood from his seat in shock, seeing his son crash into the arena wall and squinted his eyebrows "Who is this brat."
Meanwhile, Ling Huang laughed seeing this "Haha, little brother smacked his face so hard that he flew out of the battle floor."
Ling Chao also chuckled, and satisfaction washed over her as her eyes softened in tenderness looking at the white haired young man on the arena.
A slight smile appeared on Ling Chen's lips upon seeing this.
*thud* After hitting the wall, Chen Li's body fell on the floor and he instinctively grabbed his back feeling a sharp pain shoot through his spine as if it was on the verge of snapping. "ARgggghhhhhh!" His sheer pain of cry echoed throughout the arena startling everyone and Chen Luo clenched his fist, anger seeping through his heart.
Chen Li squirmed on the floor feeling the pain radiating through his body as blood oozed out from the injured on his body "Urghhh! This shit hurts!"
*tap* At this time, hearing faint footsteps Chen Li endured the pain and slight raised his gaze and saw Zhao Tian coming towards him.
"We haven't finished, are we?"
"H-HUH?!"
