Chapter 201: Silly Chu Jianyi
“It’s fine,” said Ling Chuxi assuredly as she embraced Little White to uncurl it from around her neck and pass Little White to the fifth princess to hold. “Help me to look after Little White for a bit,” she said to the fifth princess. Then Ling Chuxi turned to address Ling Yichen, “Yichen, the other party is already yelling like this. If I don’t go up now, it really will be unacceptable. Don’t worry.” Ling Chuxi smiled at Ling Yichen before patting Little White’s head and turning around to lightly leap onto the platform of the fighting ring.
Actually, in terms of facing Chu Jianyi, Ling Chuxi herself did not have much confidence that she would win against him. However, Ling Chuxi was never one to shirk and retreat, nor was she one to easily admit defeat.
When Ling Chuxi entered the fighting ring, the crowd watching once again fell silent. Their gazes became complicated as they stared at Chu Jianyi. Could it be that this rascal really wanted to challenge all the experts from other academies one by one? Shao Nansong was Wind Cloud Academy’s number one expert but yet he had lost in such a manner. Could it be that this Ling Chuxi was stronger than Shao Nansong?
Ling Chuxi had a calm expression on her face as she stood in the ring, waiting for Chu Jianyi to make a move. However...
“Ling Chuxi, come up here quickly. You’ve got no balls. Come up here right now!” roared Chu Jianyi. He was still waving his sword around and howling away.
Ling Chuxi was speechless.
The crowd around the fighting ring was equally speechless.
Could he not see Ling Chuxi standing right there? He was still yelling out challenges so proudly.
“Hey,” said Ling Chuxi coldly as she finally couldn’t take looking at the howling Chu Jianyi anymore, “I’m here.”
“Huh?” Chu Jianyi regained his senses as he looked confusedly at Ling Chuxi. “Who are you?”
“Ling Chuxi...” Ling Chuxi was a little speechless even as she replied curtly.
“Wait, you are a female expert?!” shouted Chu Jianyi in a tone filled with disbelief. “Wasn’t it that Ling Chuxi is a male expert?”
“Who told you I was a male expert?” asked Ling Chuxi with a frown.
Chu Jianyi was stunned as he scratched his head. “It sure seems to me that nobody really said so now that I think about it.” It was in fact, he himself who had thought Ling Chuxi was a male, that’s why he had said words such as “no balls” to provoke his opponent into accepting his challenge. In the end, as it turns out, the person he had challenged was actually a female. He was a little stupefied.
What a cute dummy! Ling Chuxi pinned these two words onto Chu Jianyi. This baby face was really a dummy.
“Even if you are female, I will not show mercy. In the world of cultivators, there is no differentiation between male and female. All are equal opponents. Come on then. Draw your sword!” Chu Jianyi’s words took a sharp turn. The silly look on his baby face was gone and a serious and steady expression replaced it.
Ling Chuxi stood still as she concentrated on her opponent, not daring to be the least bit careless.
Both their figures stood quietly still in the fighting ring. The wind that was blowing across the venue seemed to have stilled at this moment.
Everyone watching had an odd yet amazing feeling as if the whole world had disappeared and only the two opponents in the fighting ring remained.
“You are not a bad opponent,” announced Chu Jianyi slowly after he had looked at Ling Chuxi for a long while.
The many pairs of eyes watching this duel widened in surprised. They remembered how Chu Jianyi was so proud that he had not bothered to look at his opponent in the eye when he was facing Shao Nansong. However, he had acted as such and said such words at this moment when he was facing Ling Chuxi. What did that mean? Could it be that Ling Chuxi who was in front of them was truly stronger than Shao Nansong who was known as the number one in Wind Cloud Academy? Was this really possible?
Under the watch of all the surprised gazes around the fighting ring, Chu Jianyi had already lightly raised his blunt sword and once again let out an explosive burst of might that felt as great as the mountains.
Everyone had the same thought. Just now, he had used this move to force Shao Nansong to admit defeat in such a humiliating manner. How would Ling Chuxi fare?
“You too.” However, despite the fearsome display, the young maiden in the ring who looked so gentle did not even change her expression. Her gaze remained as still and calm as water in a deep lake.
