Chapter 86: Tournament-2!
This was the second round of the tournament and Bai Leng’s opponent was from the Wood Healing Sanctuary. He had a nervous expression on his face while looking at Bai Leng.
With how easily Bai Leng won his first match, it was easy to figure out that he was much more powerful than most of the participants in the tournament.
“Match begin!” Chen Lu announced as Bai Leng once again assumed his calm posture with hands behind his back while his opponent assumed an attack stance.
He began to gather his soul energy to command the spiritual energy around him to summon long, flexible vines.
He wielded these wines like whips to strike Bai Leng from a distance, however, his attack was easily dodged by Bai Leng by simply taking a step back.
His opponent became infuriated as he began to lash out whip attacks rapidly, attempting to send him flying out of the arena with one of his attacks, however, Bai Leng kept evading with minimal effort.
After a few moments, the Wood Healing Sanctuary disciple noticed that Bai Leng was not only dodging his attacks, he was also closing in on him, reducing the distance between them.
Figuring out Bai Leng’s plan, he retreated to the back, stopping his attacks for a moment.
And that was when everyone saw Bai Leng reveal a confident smile as he used a movement skill and appeared in front of his opponent in a flash.
His opponent’s eyes widened, however, before he could react, Bai Leng struck him with a palm attack aimed at the center of his chest.
Boom!
A small explosive sound resounded as his opponent was sent out of the arena due to having retreated close to the end of the ring and hence, it only required a small amount of force to send him out of the arena.
“Winner, Crimson Sky Sect’s Bai Leng!”
After the announcement, Bai Leng calmly left the ring.
The next Match was between Shiyue and a disciple from the Celestial Harmony Sect. He was not a protagonist and just had a high cultivation.
“Match Begin!”
The match began as both stared at each other to react to whoever made a move first. Shiyue decided to make a move first as she employed a movement skill, dashing at her opponent with a fist engulfed in fire.
It was the signature skill of Phoenix Feather Sect – Phoenix Origin Fist!
The disciple from the celestial harmony sect joined both of his hands and closed his eyes before gathering his soul energy to defend.
Soon, an ethereal golden barrier appeared in front of him that absorbed Shiyue’s attack.
Shiyue’s eyes widened in disbelief to see that her opponent defended against her attack.
Her opponent smiled before dashing towards her, not wanting to give her any time to recover.
In the next moment, he was in front of Shiyue as he used the same move as Lu Xian, Ethereal Lotus Palm, however, his lotus was smaller and weaker than Lu Xian.
He had a smile on his face, already considering himself as the winner, however, at the last moment, he noticed Shiyue’s light smile and scorching flames appearing in her fist.
However, it was too late for him to retreat.
Shiyue crouched, dodging his palm before attacking with her fist attack skill. Just as her fist was about to be connected, the golden ethereal barrier once again appeared.
Crack! Crack!
However, this time the barrier was unable to absorb her attack as cracks began to appear before crumbling down under her attack.
Boom!
Her fist connected as her opponent got knocked out with some burns on his face.
“Winner, Phoenix Feather Sect’s Bi Shiyue!”
She maintained her cold expression as she left the ring.
On her way to the seat, She noticed Ashen smiling at her.
Her face reddened slightly as she tried her best to stop reacting this way. After reaching close to Ashen, she murmured: “Thank You!”
Her voice was low but Ashen heard it as he nodded in acknowledgement.
That last attack of hers was the Phoenix Flame Fist that Ashen taught her after one of their passionate nights for the tournament.
They again began to look at the next match. This match was between Mo Fan and a protagonist from the Earth Root Sect, wearing a Brown sect uniform.
“Match Begin!”
The match began as Ling Yun began to look at the ring with a worried expression.
The protagonist from the Earth root sect was the first to make a move. He dashed towards Mo Fan with his fist covered with rocks.
Boom!
His attack connected as Mo Fan let the attack hit him intentionally. He smiled as he provoked: “Do you only have this much strength?”
The protagonist didn’t react with words, instead, summoned even more rocks on his fists.
His fists appeared as if two boulders attached to human arms.
Even Mo Fan wasn’t sure if he would be able to take an attack from those.
The protagonist didn’t give him time to consider and,
Boom!
His attack connected and Mo Fan was sent flying as Ling Yun stood up from her seat: “No!” She shouted.
Luckily, Mo Fan was standing in the middle of the ring and landed just near the end of the ring, though he had to put some effort to not fall.
Veli looked at Ling Yun with confusion: “What happened? Why are you shouting like this?”
Ling Yun realized what had happened as she gave the excuse: “I just thought that our sect disciple would get eliminated. Sorry to surprise you!”
Veli nodded outwardly, however, on the inside, she thought: “You weren’t even fazed when Brother Ashen’s match was going and you shouted just because of some random disciple? Don’t you think that will make Brother Ashen misunderstand your feelings? Maybe that’s why he is not able to love you back!”
Meanwhile, in the ring, Mo Fan had turned serious as they both attacked each other with different skills.
The protagonist defended by covering his whole body with rocks and Mo Fan didn’t need to defend because of his cheat skill.
After a long exchange of attacks, both were exhausted as respect for each other could be seen in their eyes.
The protagonist once again threw a heavy punch and,
Breakthrough!
Mo Fan broke through as he felt energy returning to his body. He sent a flurry of attacks at his opponent, raining kicks and punches down at him.
The Protagonist began to get pushed back due to being exhausted.
And it wasn’t long after he got eliminated, not able to continue fighting Mo Fan anymore.
“Winner! Phoenix Feather Sect’s Mo Fan!”
