“Being confident is a good thing, but being blindly confident is just foolish. It will only lead you to a miserable death.” At that moment, a disapproving voice sounded. Soon after, Xiao Tianying walked out from behind the wall, a proud look on his face.
“Xiao Tianying!” Ling Chuxi frowned at Xiao Tianying. Ling Chuxi was not surprised, he was definitely here to battle on behalf of Dong Xing Country. Both Ling Yichen and Baili Han had heard of Xiao Tianying, and they knew that his cultivation was pretty decent. They immediately started to size him up.
“That guy just now? His name is Duan Qingchou. He is number one among the younger generation of Wan Chuan Country. You have already seen his cultivation, but there is something else you do not know. Among the three contestants of Wan Chuan Country for this assessment competition, only Duan Qingchou is at the realm of Great Fulfilment. The others only have Battle Qi Level-9. This is because the other young experts at the realm of Great Fulfilment were badly injured by him at the martial arts competition; some are even unable to cultivate for the rest of their lives,” Xiao Tianying spoke quietly.
“What?!” Ling Chuxi and the rest were shocked. It was normal to be injured in the martial arts competition, even Baili Han had been injured when he was defeated by Ling Chuxi. However, based on the ability to control Battle Qi at the realm of Great Fulfilment, as long as it was not to hurt someone intentionally, the injury would not be too severe. Duan Qingchou had badly injured his opponents at the realm of Great Fulfilment so that they could not compete, and some would not even be able to cultivate for the rest of their lives. It was clear how ruthless and sinister he truly was.
It was fortunate that the fight between Baili Han and him had been stopped in time, or the consequences might have been dire. As she recalled the snake-like gaze of Duan Qingchou earlier, Ling Chuxi felt anxious. They had known nothing about Duan Qingchou. If he had suddenly struck out at Baili Han earlier, they might not even have had the chance to rescue him.
“If you all do meet Wan Chuan Country in the first round and your cultivation is not strong enough, it might be best to admit defeat early. Otherwise, even if you win, you will have problems during the next match,” Xiao Tianying said, glancing at Ling Yichen and Baili Han meaningfully. Those words were obviously directed at them.
Baili Han and Ling Yichen, however, were unmoved. If anything, they looked even more determined.
“Don’t jinx it! How do you know we will meet them in the first round?” Li Shaoqiu sulked.
Xiao Tianying’s expression darkened. Li Shaoqiu shivered and shut his mouth immediately.
“Xiao Tianying, thanks for telling us this,” Ling Chuxi smiled at Xiao Tianying and continued calmly, “but I am never blindly confident.”
Xiao Tianying was stunned at Ling Chuxi’s self-assurance. He could feel Ling Chuxi’s determination and his expression became solemn. Ling Chuxi was not joking.
“There’s no need to thank me, I will defeat you fair and square in the finals. My goal is number one as well,” Xiao Tianying said to Ling Chuxi seriously, then turned around and left. Xiao Tianying raised his head and looked forward, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched. ‘Never blindly confident? Then, Ling Chuxi, we will meet each other in the fighting ring! I will win, I will definitely win!’
“That jinx! The competition has not even started yet but he dares to bring up surrendering. Such bad luck. Ah ptui ptui ptui.” It was only after Xiao Tianying’s figure had disappeared did Li Shaoqiu open his mouth.
“Miss Ling, Master Ling, Master Baili, we should head back to the posthouse,” the envoy suggested, afraid of encountering more problems.
