Chapter 390: Ling Yichen’s Pride

The competition arena was as chaotic as a thunderstorm. Everyone was having lively discussions.

“No way! The jinx was spot on again.” Li Shaoqiu stood up and stared incredulously at Xiao Tianying who was standing far away.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen exchanged glances, their hearts heavy. Xiao Tianying had got it right! Ling Chuxi knew that the road ahead would be much more difficult than she imagined, but she would press on without hesitation!

The battle horn bellowed. Ling Chuxi and Xiao Tianying looked at each other, then walked towards the fighting ring from different directions.

Raucous cheers erupted from the watching platform. Who could have imagined that Shang Yuan Country would forfeit? Even if Nan Xia Country won or lost this match, they would take the title of Tier 2 Vassal Country at worst. This was practically a miracle for the citizens of Nan Xia Country.

The results of drawing lots for the battle sequence was also very fast: Nan Xia Country — Ling Yichen and Ling Chuxi. Dong Xing Country — He Bufan, Liu Yucheng and Xiao Tianying.

When they saw the battle sequence on the wooden board, the cheers from the spectators of Nan Xia Country became slightly weaker. During the last round, Baili Han had been heavily injured. There were only two people who could participate in this round, while the other party had three people. Even though it was said that ‘in a battle between the strongest, one person could determine the fate of the entire round’, they had already seen Xiao Tianying’s cultivation ability. It was not going to be easy to deal with.

‘Sigh, what a pity!’ The spectators of Nan Xia Country were cheering, but in their hearts they were sighing. If not for Duan Qingchou, perhaps it might have been possible for a miracle to happen for Nan Xia Country, but it seemed the heavens would not grant their wish today.

“You guys have only two people while we have three, but rest assured. If Brother Ling is defeated, I will make the others forfeit, and I will battle it out with you fair and square,” Xiao Tianying said to Ling Chuxi arrogantly. The other two people standing next to him looked angry, but they did not say anything. They could only glare at Xiao Tianying.

Ling Chuxi laughed. The other two contenders of Dong Xing Country also had the cultivation of the realm of Great Fulfilment, but it was clear that they had only been promoted recently. With her current cultivation, she could take them out instantly; it would make no difference to her whether they forfeited or not. Moreover, would Ling Yichen really be defeated? Xiao Tianying was still so proud and arrogant, he did not consider other people’s feelings at all. Did he not notice the expressions of the other two contestants after he had said that?

“There’s no need for that,” Ling Yichen said confidently. He gave Xiao Tianying an indifferent look and walked up to the fighting ring.

Soon afterwards, He Bufan of Dong Xing Country walked up to the fighting ring as well.

“You only have one chance to make a move,” Ling Yichen called out.

“Hmph. Are you qualified to say something like that?” He Bufan’s expression darkened. Xiao Tianying’s words earlier had already upset him, and hearing this from Ling Yichen further infuriated him. He could forget about what Xiao Tianying had said since his cultivation far surpassed theirs, but what basis did Ling Yichen have to speak to him like that? If he was not mistaken, his cultivation was not much stronger than his.

He Bufan drew out his sword, the Battle Qi of the realm of Great Fulfilment surging through his body. Coupled with a face full of anger, it gave people the feeling of Qi soaring to the skies. The atmosphere in the competition arena became solemn, and everyone’s eyes were glued to the stage.

The beat of a drum marked the start of the competition.

He Bufan, with rage in his heart, gave a loud shout and slashed at Ling Yichen with all his might.

The attack with strong Battle Qi came rushing towards him, and Ling Yichen’s sleeves fluttered wildly in the wind. His eyes narrowed slightly, before he suddenly opened them wide. There was a bright light shining in his eyes as he drew out his sword with a backhand move.
