Chapter 308: Nonsense
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
It wasn’t until fifteen minutes later that Tang ngCheng and company arrived.
Chai Zheng hadn’t co. You XiaoMo heard that he hadn’t left the Cultivation Center for over a month and counting, putting his all into cultivation.
Another saying was that Chai Zheng was afraid of being overtaken by him and Teng ZiXin, so he had no choice but to put his all into cultivation. Tang ngCheng was an eye-catching figure in the crowd. He was handso young man, clothing rich and elegant, poise regal, gaze sharp and holding the barest hint of disdain.
If it wasn’t for Tong YueXu informing them about Tang ngCheng, then it would probably be very hard to tell how fake this person was.
The two sides watched each other from afar, and sparks seed to crackle in the air between them.
Tang ngCheng walked directly onto the arena, looking at them from above and saying, “My ti is precious, let’s start.”
His tone was light and uncaring, evidently looking down on them.
It might be frustrating to be looked down on like that, but You XiaoMo and company weren’t normal people. They all turned to look at Ling Xiao.
You XiaoMo whispered, “He seems really confident.”
Ling Xiao smiled, replying, “The fifty-first is challenging the fifteenth. He would be better off dead if he didn’t have confidence.”
You XiaoMo didn’t know how to respond to that. “Good luck, but don’t expose too much of your strength.”
Ling Xiao said, “Don’t worry, my current ‘strength’ is Spiritual Level 1 star, how could a Celestial Level 6 star possibly be my opponent?”
You XiaoMo said, “We’re civilized people; don’t be too hard on him.”
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow. “How hard is too hard?”
You XiaoMo answered, “As long as he doesn’t die...”
There were rules in the arena. Casualties were inevitable in the arena. You could maim, but you weren’t allowed to kill.
Ling Xiao gave him a look and smiled with mischief. “You finally said sothing I can agree with.”
You XiaoMo raised his head to stare at the sky. “...I’m a very kind person.”
Thus, Ling Xiao who had been ordered to be rciful by the kindhearted You XiaoMo finally walked into the arena. Under the watchful eyes of the audience, he ca to a stop in front of Tang ngCheng, barely five ters away.
Not many people were truly interested in this match. In the eyes of most, there was no need for a match. A new student who hadn’t even enrolled for half a year wanting to win the ranked fifteenth Tang ngCheng? Ridiculous.
Tang ngCheng looked at Ling Xiao coldly, and said sinisterly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose too quickly. I’ll take good care of anyone who dares to go against the Stone Gate.”
Ling Xiao’s eyes narrowed with a hint of a smile. The corner of his lips lifted as he replied airily, “Then thank you very much for that.”
That wasn’t a response Tang ngCheng hoped to elicit.
Chai Zheng might be a bit fearful of You XiaoMo, letting his underlings bother them instead, but he didn’t want anyone to think Stone Gate was weak. So, he was trying to use this chance to punish You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao.
Tang ngCheng huffed in a very queen-like fashion, becoming a dark shadow that streaked towards Ling Xiao. In a flash, he appeared behind Ling Xiao, his fingers clawlike and flashing with poisonous green like as they darted for Ling Xiao’s neck.
These movents were swift, but for Ling Xiao they were at a snail’s pace. The claws approached, but their target had disappeared.
Staring at the lingering afterimage in front of him, Tang ngCheng was startled by his opponent’s reaction speed, but didn’t panic. The spiritual energy on his body struck behind him, baring a sinister air.
“Are you fighting with the air?” The lightly spoken words that rang out from beside his air held a mocking tone. Tang ngCheng tensed, gaze coloring with shock. He gave up on attacking, quickly backing away from the source of the voice.
It was only until he had retreated to a distance he felt safe with that he looked back at the source of the voice, only to find that Ling Xiao hadn’t moved at all, still standing in the sa place and smiling.
Their first exchange, no, it was just simply a round of attacks from Tang ngCheng’s. Ling Xiao hadn’t truly acted at all, but Tang ngCheng was already at an obvious disadvantage.
This situation elicited a wave of surprise from the audience. Though a single round couldn’t predict the conclusion, but it seed that the course of this fight would be far from what they had believed.
Tang ngCheng’s face was pale. Ling Xiao’s performance had scared him and he didn’t dare hold back any longer. He imdiately took out his weapon, a black spear that didn’t seem to be made of a special material.
His figure blurred, dashing towards Ling Xiao even faster than before. His spear cut through the air to his will, swinging in a half circle. His spiritual energy rapidly covered the spear, no longer white, but a light grey that crackled with energy...
In a few rapid movents, leaving behind afterimages, Tang ngCheng arrived in front of Ling Xiao. The spear was like a razor-sharp tooth, tearing apart from the very air around them. Arcing in a strange angle, the imposing energy locked onto Ling Xiao’s surrounding and a sinister force erupted from the tip, heading straight for Ling Xiao.
Tang ngCheng smiled darkly. “Take this! Moon Shattering Spear!”
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow. It seed to be a lower high-grade skill, pretty powerful by the looks of it.
Moon Shatter Spear was what delivered the Tang family to fa. It might’ve only been a lower grade technique, but the power of it had been closing in on mid-grade, thanks to generations of adjustnts made by the Tang family. All mbers of the Tang learned it, and it could count as an ultimate technique.
Tang ngCheng seed to want to finish this as soon as possible. It hadn’t been long into the battle and he was already taking out the ace up his sleeve.
Surprise spread amongst the spectators. It seed like Tang ngCheng really wasn’t going hold back this ti; they never expected for him to do this so soon.
To make it more realistic, Ling Xiao flipped his hand around and a fan appeared between his fingers.
Seeing the fan, You XiaoMo startled.
Speaking of, he hadn’t ever seen Ling Xiao use a weapon before. This was the first ti, and it was a fan as well. It seed flimsy compared to Tang ngCheng’s spear.
“Lightning Ace!”
Ling Xiao opened the fan and a miniscule spark of red fire that hid amongst his majestic spiritual energy darted to his fan from the center of his palm. The silver fan shone blindly. As Ling Xiao waved the fan, the energy shot out like a blade with the howl of wind as it tore through the air; a streak of white and red fla entangled together crashed against Tang ngCheng’s Moon Shattering Spear...
The scene was like watching a volcano erupt. The shockwaves from the clash between these two powerful energies rapidly caused the arena floor to crack and crumble. The crumbling stone was swept up by the whirling wind, into the sky, and a massive crater was left in the ground.
The spectators ran for cover as they saw this. Though it was just crumbling stone, they would still be injured if they got hit.
As everyone ran around in a panic, a sliver of red fla darted out, heading towards the shocked Tang ngCheng in an arc, and latching to his body.
Tang ngCheng scread in pain. He may have been wearing armor, but it was lted in an instant. The fla shoot into his body and burned him everywhere it touched. It wasn’t until he had been torched half dead that the fla disappeared without a trace.
Waiting for the dust to clear, the spectators finally were able to see the situation in the arena.
Upon setting eyes on Tang ngCheng, whose fate was yet to be revealed, they couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
It was really as You XiaoMo had said: as long as he didn’t die.
Stone Gate’s people’s faces were green. They couldn’t believe that the most powerful person in Stone Gate would lose to the ranked fifty-first. They had been give a harsh slap to the face in front of everyone.
“That man is much more than he looks,” An XinRui exclaid with surprise, her beautiful eyes looking over at Ling Xiao with brimming curiosity.
Zhan YuXuan smiled. “It’s not an unexpected result from a Celestial 6 star going against a Spiritual 1 star. Tang ngCheng underestimated him because he was a new student. Soone like that won’t get anywhere.”
Yin Ge glanced coldly towards You XiaoMo and company, his gaze void of emotions. Two seconds later, he calmly said to Zhan YuXuan, “Let’s go!”
Zhan YuXuan smiled softly, following. An XinRui bit her lip with disappointnt, following after them closely. She knew that this was simply how Yin Ge was, but she was left hurt every ti.
On the other side, You XiaoMo watched Ling Xiao co down from the arena with excitent, approaching him first.
You XiaoMo exclaid, “Ling Xiao, that Lightning Ace you used was amazing!”
Ling Xiao smiled lazily. “Oh, Lightning Ace?”
You XiaoMo imdiately nodded.
Ling Xiao replied, “I just made it up on the spot.”
You XiaoMo: “...”
Please don’t tell the truth!
