Chapter 385: Definitely Would Not Waver
Xiao Tianying was also observing Ling Chuxi. He had seen completely different sides to her during the match. That confidence, that calmness, and yet that fierce ruthlessness when she delivered the strike that determined Duan Qingchou’s end – that kind of viciousness left Xiao Tianying’s heart pounding. He had to be very careful of her.
‘I will not object to you defeating her fair and square, but if you can’t, I hope that you can be friends with her. This is not just for you, it’s also for the Xiao Family.’ Xiao Tianying suddenly understood his grandfather’s words. The young woman before him was totally different from him. As to who was stronger, he did not dare guess, but one thing was for sure: he absolutely could not make such a person his enemy. Doing so would be a disaster, whether for him or the Xiao family.
While Nan Xia Country’s citizens were cheering, the spectators from Wan Chuan Country were deathly silent. As for the spectators from other countries, they had mixed feelings over the match. Nobody would have guessed that Wan Chuan Country would have lost like that, especially at the hands of Nan Xia Country which had always secured last place. It turns out that they were the biggest dark horse in this time’s competition.
Even though the assessment competition had just begun, the ending was now uncertain.
As for the gamblers who had placed their bets on Wan Chuan Country, their faces had turned ashen. Even those who had placed their bets on Shang Yuan Country started to feel a strong sense of unease.
The competition arena only recovered its calm after some time. The horn bellowed, and the second round kicked off.
Xiao Tianying and the rest went up to the fighting ring.
With their minds still stuck on Ling Chuxi’s cruel methods to victory over Duan Qingchou, the spectators were not very interested in this match. During every assessment competition, Dong Xing Country and Feng Ze Country always fluctuated between third and fourth place. Since this was not much of a surprise, it was also not much of a disappointment. Even the spectators of their own countries were not that excited; it was only those who were extremely passionate about their own countries that cheered encouragingly.
However, the spectators only found out how wrong they were when the competition started.
Xiao Tianying only used a single move to strike his opponent, the contender from Feng Ze Country with the strongest cultivation, off the stage. His actions were swift and precise without any intention of dragging it out.
Such a victory could only be described as beautiful. It was so beautiful that the spectators even forgot to cheer. It was only when Feng Ze Country surrendered completely, and Xiao Tianying got off the fighting ring proudly, did they finally react. The round was already over when delayed cheers rang out.
The first match of the second round – Dong Xing Country had won against Feng Ze Country!
Xiao Tianying got off the fighting ring and gazed at Ling Chuxi. There was a strong desire to battle in his eyes. After that, he left indifferently.
Seeing Xiao Tianying’s departing figure, Ling Chuxi frowned slightly. He was a strong opponent. His cultivation should have also reached the Great Fulfilment Intermediate stage, and that was not even the most frightening thing. The Turning Cloud Gesture would be his trump card; his control of the accumulated tyrannical Battle Qi from using the Turning Cloud Gesture was obviously much better than Xiao Tianfan’s.
However, Ling Chuxi definitely would not waver. She had to take the final victory in this time’s competition, regardless of her opponent and how strong he was.
Seeing the tears of the spectators of Nan Xia Country, seeing Baili Han who had paved the way for her without hesitating to sacrifice his life, Ling Chuxi became even more determined to win.
