Chapter 285: The Man like the Wind
Ling Chuxi’s match this time was a critical one that would decide who would make it through to the semifinals. Her opponent was someone named Pan Songtao. A man who was like the wind...
Why this was said of him was because Pan Songtao’s fluffy hair was always piled on his head like a bird’s nest ready to be tossed about in the breeze, and his loose clothes and pants always swelled up when the wind blew. There was also a super fluffy tassel hanging from his sword, and it floated up into the air when the wind blew.
The moment Pan Songtao stepped into the fighting ring, he looked at Ling Chuxi coldly. It was a look that was proud, sharp and extremely mighty all at once!
The referee announced the official start of the match before quickly retreating, leaving the fighting ring to the two competitors.
The commentator was very enthusiastic and started explaining the match to everyone again as he always did. “Ah, everybody, take notice as Ling Chuxi has turned out to be the biggest dark horse in this competition. Her exact cultivation abilities remain unknown up till this moment. Is she at Battle Qi Level 9 Primary stage, or is she at the Intermediate stage, or perhaps even beyond that?”
“And this man here, Pan Songtao. Rumors have it that his Battle Qi is already at Level 9. Who will win in the end? Let us watch and see!”
Ling Chuxi drew her Luo Chen Sword, narrowed her eyes and was just about to fly over to attack.
But, suddenly, Pan Songtao who was standing opposite her let out a shocking shout, “Wait!”
Ling Chuxi quickly stopped. She stumbled and was almost unable to stand steadily from the imbalance caused by her sudden halt in movement. After she managed to stand properly, she frowned at Pan Songtao who was wearing a serious expression opposite her, not understanding what her opponent was thinking. Her ears were still ringing due to his loud voice. What exactly did he mean to do?
The audience also could not understand Pan Songtao’s actions as they looked at him in doubt. Could it be that there was some accident and that was why he had wanted to stop the match temporarily? The referee also looked at Pan Songtao, unable to understand what he was going to do next.
Pan Songtao stabbed his sword into the stage of the fighting ring and then stretched out his hands slowly towards his head to tidy up his hair. He was trying his best to tie his fluffy hair together neatly. Then, he patted non-existent dust off his body and checked himself, seemingly trying to make sure that there was nothing wrong with his appearance. He then raised his head, removed his sword from where he stuck it in the stage, and looked at Ling Chuxi solemnly.
Ling Chuxi thought that he was finally prepared and so she raised her sword once again. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to reach him, he let out another ear-piercing, deafening roar.
“WAIT!”
His booming voice vibrated through Ling Chuxi till she felt dizzy.
“Oi! What are you doing right now?! Are you going to fight me or not?!” snapped Ling Chuxi in a tone that was both annoyed and cold at the same time.
“Don’t attack, don’t attack. I’m warning you. You better not attack!” instructed Pan Songtao hurriedly as he pointed at Ling Chuxi. Without waiting for Ling Chuxi to speak, let alone for her to react, he turned around and jumped offstage and out of the fighting ring by himself. He landed on the ground below with a thump whilst saying, “I’ll do it myself. I will do it myself! Don’t attack, I will come down here by myself!”
Ling Chuxi looked at this scene with her eyes popped wide open and her mouth agape. What exactly was Pan Songtao doing right now? Was he admitting defeat? In such a manner? Yet, before admitting defeat, he had so solemnly spoken such nonsense?
Even the referee was stupefied. What kind of situation was this?
“It would be too shameful to get beaten up by you like Zhang Dongzhi was. He was sent rolling all over the ground so disgracefully. So, I’ll give up on my own. Hey, referee! Are you blind? Didn’t you see me gracefully get out of the fighting ring on my own? Hurry up and announce that I lost.” Pan Songtao muttered his justification for throwing the match to himself at first, then turned his head and shouted at the referee who had been rendered dumb to announce the results of the match.
The referee finally regained his senses and immediately called out the verdict that Ling Chuxi had won the match and therefore made it through to the next round of the competition.
Ling Chuxi stood in the fighting ring in a daze. She only regained her sense after some time. Then, she mechanically turned her head to look at Pan Songtao who was still standing on the ground below, next to the fighting ring. Geez, this Pan Songtao was really weird!
