I Am Supreme

With a flash of light, two men and a beast were resurrected in the field.

Bai Yexing was in his white clothes; his missing arms were back, and he was in perfect shape. However, he still wore the same indifferent expression and stood there with a pair of calm eyes.

Opposite him, the disciple of Beast Trainer Sect was looking at him with dread in his eyes as if the other was a ghost. As for the mystical beast, it simply did not dare to look at him. And when it caught a glimpse of him, it whimpered and hurriedly bowed its head, fearing to look at that calm face again.

Bai Yexing had scared the wits out of the man and the beast with his fearsome fighting style, striking terror into their hearts.

“Sect Leader, Master, Uncle-Masters, this disciple has succeeded in carrying out the assignment and won the match!” Bai Yexing reported.

Kong Luoyue’s face beamed with satisfaction and pride while the rest nodded approvingly.

“Good! Very good!”

“Yexing, you have performed excellently!” praised Yun Yang, “No other first-generation disciples would have performed better than you in this match! Luoyue, you’ve found yourself an outstanding disciple!”

Kong Luoyue’s face was all smiles as he said humbly, “Boss, you are flattering him! Yexing still needs to progress further, so you better don’t overpraise him.”

Shi Wuchen and others gave Kong Luoyue a sideways glance and suddenly felt like hitting him.

‘Can you be any phonier?’

Yun Yang smiled. “I didn’t praise him because he won. Xiuxin was supposed to fight the match, and even if not her, I was thinking of sending Mingxiu. But, Yexing not only accurately predicted the opponent’s strength, but also understood the innate weakness of Xiuxin as a girl. If she were to fight the match, she would surely suffer a blow on her mental state…”

“So, he stood up and volunteered. This is the reason why I praised him.”

He gave Yun Xiuxin a look and went on, “Although Xiuxin had defeated Yexing during a friendly match, if she were the one who fought this match, she would have lost by now.”

Everyone nodded and agreed with what he said.

Even Yun Xiuxin, who was always so proud of herself, bowed her head. She knew her Master was right.

‘If I had fought this match…apart from losing it, I would most probably be trapped in the fear of being devoured by the beast for a very long time. And, I can never be as savage as Yexing. Even if I could, I would not have the same determination as him!’

She knew that the match was won by Bai Yexing’s determination because his strength was weaker than the opponent’s.

Sun Mingxiu was pondering too. ‘If I were the one who fought this match, no matter how steadily and carefully I handled the situation, I could, at best, obtain an internecine outcome, and it would be absolutely impossible for me to win!’

“Sect Leader, you are flattering me!” Bai Yexing was still so indifferent.

Yun Yang smiled and gave him a deep look.

Bai Yexing did not negotiate with the mystical beast, and he had not use the bead Yun Yang gave him accordingly. Instead, he used a different approach to win the match. Just his quick wits alone were worth praising. Trying to lure such a mystical beast in the match of disciples was most probably…not very useful.

The match was already over for some time, but the crowd seemed to be having a hard time collecting themselves.

There was a figure in their eyes who used every possible means and all his strength to fight, who paid no mind to the bits of his own bones flying all over the place, who wore the same calm and indifferent expression from the beginning to the end of the match.

A man who was indifferent and cold…

A man who cared nothing about other people, things, objects, or even himself…

Decapitation was a quick death that everyone could basically accept, because all senses would be gone as soon as the blade cut through the neck. But, when a man was badly mutilated during a battle, with his body covered in wounds and over half of his bones broken, and yet he still kept on fighting without even making a sound…

Such a relentless man was rare in the world.

Therefore, the eyes that looked at Bai Yexing now were all filled with respect, and that included the many high-level warriors present. At this moment, everyone knew there was a true man of iron in this world.

Even if one captured this man, no matter how one tortured him or smashed all his bones to bits and pieces, he could still keep his mouth shut and not utter a single word.

Everyone was sure Bai Yexing could do that.

…

After a long time, Huo Yunfeng finally cleared his throat and said, “Let the match of sect leaders begin!”

Yun Yang and Qin Ruogu exchanged a glance and stood up at the same time.

“Sect Leader Yun, we at the Beast Trainer Sect have our very own unique means,” said Qin Ruogu. “Although true experts will think nothing of them, they are pretty powerful. Please be careful!”

Yun Yang smiled and said calmly, “Sect Leader Qin, Residence of Nine Supremes has never lacked trump cards, which has been proven repeatedly in this Battle of Celestial Luck banners.”

While laughing, Qin Ruogu flicked his sleeve and went down to the field. Meanwhile, Yun Yang followed leisurely as if he was taking a stroll on clouds.

Both men stepped into the field at the same time. One’s hair were grayish-white, with a serious look on his face as if he was about to do something extremely important, while the other was young and handsome, relaxed and carefree, as if he was merely going for a walk in the country in spring.

The difference between them was stark.

Even the people of Beast Trainer Sect could see that, but their sect leader, Qin Ruogu, seemed to have not noticed it. It was most probably because the player saw less clearly than the bystander. Or perhaps he was too focused on the match. After all, he could not make any mistake as it concerned the last dignity of his sect. Might be it was the reason why he did not have spare energy to care about other unimportant details.

In fact, the only thing that concerned this sect leader of Beast Trainer Sect now was Yun Yang’s shocking strength, which was at least one step ahead of his, or even two steps, possibly three steps…

After all, the strength Luo Dajiang had displayed just now was already stronger than yesterday, and no one knew whether Yun Yang, as the sect leader of Residence of Nine Supremes, did hide part of his strength or not.

If that were the case, then he could only rely on his sect’s divine beast.

The divine beast had a long history, and it had been with Beast Trainer Sect for 4,300 years. However, although it was strong, it had a very eccentric character and was very difficult to control. Had it not been because of the critical situation, Qin Ruogu would not have used this trump card which had been long in hiding.

Qin Ruogu prayed in his heart, ‘Now, the fate of the whole sect is on you, so you’d better stop giving me trouble!’
