Chapter 192 Two Matches
by SunflowerIn front of the two houses, there is a wide view, with schools of colorful dragon carp swimming in the azure lake that is as blue as a gemstone.
“Please!” the white-clad youth said, his black hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes deep, his left hand behind his back, he remained calm and confident.
The grass where Wu Yaozu stood was lush and green, but now it exploded with a bang. He suddenly rushed forward, the force of his feet was too strong.
In an instant, the two collided, without any skill involved, wanting to engage in a head-on collision from the start.
Wu Yaozu was extremely indignant. These people were being too hypocritical. How did he become a madman? If that’s the case, then he’d show them what madness is all about.
The young man in white, confident in his status, naturally agreed to fight to the end when he saw the other party’s attitude. There was no reason for him to avoid others directly, as his opponents had always avoided him.
With a deafening roar, the area seemed to explode with thunder. The grass beneath their feet was not only cracked open as if struck by a meteorite, but also scorched black.
“How is this possible?!” The dozen or so teenagers were stunned.
Because the white-robed youth’s sleeves were torn, he was constantly retreating, and his expression was extremely solemn. Had he encountered a truly formidable opponent? Wu Yaozu was also retreating, but he had a smile on his face, full of confidence.
In the eyes of the group of teenagers, the two newcomers were just nobodies, insignificant and insignificant. How could they compare to the boy in white?
“This… it’s a draw!” The senior student in charge of leading the way was dumbfounded. He hadn’t brought two greenhorns, but two powerful dragons crossing the river?
It should be noted that only the underlings have made a move; there is still a senior leader who hasn’t joined the fray yet! Qin Ming nodded to himself, not worried at all.
“Come on!” The white-robed youth attacked again.
He uses the path of rebirth as a secondary path, mainly following the divine path of esoteric Buddhism. Now, with a wave of his hand, his palm emits an extremely dazzling light, and a bolt of lightning flashes across the void.
He was actually a born ability user, and someone who wielded lightning. No wonder he was so confident! Because there’s a saying that when the power of lightning is accumulated to its extreme, it can “punish” opponents on all paths, making it an extremely domineering ability.
After the young man in white used the methods of the new path to directly confront Wu Yaozu, he used his “ultimate move” the second time, which shows that he attaches great importance to Wu Yaozu and wants to end the battle quickly.
His companions all showed joy. Now that he had unleashed such power, it was probably a good time to defeat this strange boy as soon as possible.
Wu Yaozu’s pupils contracted, but he did not panic. A rainbow light that flew out from his body was very special and extremely bright. It transformed into an arch bridge and drew the lightning across!
However, the lightning didn’t strike the bridge; instead, just before it made contact, it changed direction and disappeared into the nearby lake. With a deafening roar, the lake surface exploded, steam billowed, and some brightly colored carp floated belly-up, all thoroughly cooked.
“The transformation of Yin and Yang?!” The white-robed youth was taken aback, his expression turning solemn. The bridge formed by the rainbow light initially simulated his lightning.
Then, it went a step further and underwent changes in Yin and Yang.
Wu Yaozu remained silent. The rainbow light transformed into an arched bridge, drawing in a large amount of water mist from the lake, which then rose around him, preparing to use it to fight the enemy.
Qin Ming exclaimed in admiration that the rainbow light within Xiao Wu’s body was indeed extraordinary, having just manifested yin-yang lightning!
Those born with special abilities are extremely rare, and whenever they do appear, they are highly valued and carefully nurtured by all parties.
The white-clad youth was now glowing, crackling with lightning, and the grass beneath his feet smelled burnt, already completely black.
In his hand appeared an irregularly shaped spear formed from condensed lightning. He charged towards the little crow ahead, crackling and carrying terrifying flashes of thunder, aiming to pierce his opponent’s chest.
In this area, a large amount of water mist surged, as if a river was flowing from the blue lake ahead. Wu Yaozu was using a divine rainbow to form a bridge, connecting the water and submerging the spear of lightning.
In an instant, a massive explosion occurred here.
The water vapor boiled, and lightning flashed one after another. A golden arch bridge stretched across the sky, seemingly capable of guiding all things and dismantling divine magic.
Two figures moved swiftly amidst lightning and divine rainbows, colliding repeatedly with deafening explosions. A lake lay before the houses, its surface constantly churning with enormous waves.
The houses are adorned with lush bamboo and golden vines swaying in the rosy light, creating a beautiful scene. However, some of the trees are now bursting open and breaking apart.
The beautiful scenery was ravaged, and the two fought fiercely, their passion running high. The dozen or so men and women nearby were all shocked.
What’s going on? They’re just two nobodys, I’ve never heard of them before, and I’ve never even seen them before. How could this be so outrageous?!
The younger of the two can rival the most popular figures!
The senior student leading the way was so shocked that his scalp tingled. He felt that something terrible was about to happen today. If the young man in white was defeated here, there would be no way to end the night…
The dozen or so teenagers were extremely nervous and anxious; they couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong here.
The two figures in the arena seemed to be constantly teleporting, like two ghostly figures traversing the night fog. They were moving at extreme speed, and were entangled with lightning and rainbow light, all of which were extremely dazzling and exuded an incomparably dangerous aura.
Thunderclouds erupted and divine rainbows burst forth between them from time to time. They clashed fiercely many times, and the intertwined light could easily tear apart others of the same realm.
Qin Ming nodded inwardly; this white-robed youth was indeed extremely strong! *Thump!*
From the torn parts of the white-clad youth’s clothes, a small, silvery-white bell appeared in his hand, gleaming and emitting electric light. He wielded it and struck his opponent in front of him.
Qin Ming frowned slightly, because it was not formed from lightning, but a physical object, a rare treasure, which could amplify the power of thunder.
However, Wu Yaozu doesn’t need him to worry.
At this moment, instead of retreating, Xiao Wu advanced, showing no intention of dodging, and charged forward without fear, determined to shake the silver bell.
At the last moment, people realized that he had taken out a brass pestle, more than half a foot long, from his pocket and smashed it down with all his might. Boom!
Sparks flew everywhere, accompanied by a crisp metallic clanging sound.
All the lightning was dispersed by the brass pestle, which was also a rare and powerful treasure. With a soft crack, a fissure appeared in the silver bell held by the white-robed youth.
At the same time, he was struck by the rainbow light emanating from Wu Yaozu’s body, and his whole body flew out, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and he fell onto the scorched grass by the lake.
“Brother, are you alright?” Xiao Wu asked, without giving chase.
The scene was completely silent. The dozen or so young men and women were all dumbfounded. They never expected that the white-clad youth, who seemed like a bright moon in the sky, would be injured by an unknown nobody.
Soon, the girl in yellow ran over and shouted, “How are you?” The others also seemed to wake up from a dream and rushed over.
The young man in white suddenly stood up and shook his head, saying, “I’m fine, my injuries aren’t that serious.”
His expression was complex, a mixture of shock, helplessness, and heartache. He was hailed as a prodigy, yet today he had inexplicably been defeated by an unknown young man.
This made his chest tighten; his journey had been too smooth, and he had never tasted such defeat before. “Who are you? With skills like this, you can’t be nobody!” the girl in yellow shouted. Now, no one would consider these two to be nobodys anymore.
“I am Wu Yaozu, and some people also call me Xiao Zu,” Xiao Wu said.
Then, he pointed to Qin Ming and said, “This is my elder brother, Shen Wubing. One day, the two of us brothers will be famous throughout the Night Mist World.”
Those present looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never heard of either of them.
But that night, they remembered the two men vividly.
“I’ve lost. This place is yours now. But please wait a moment while I tidy up!” The young man in white readily agreed and turned to walk into the room.
“We…” The others clenched their fists, extremely unwilling, but then they relaxed them. What else could they do? Even the strongest among them was no match for them.
The girl in yellow, her face dark, went to her house to pack her things. She was angry, but there was nothing she could do.
“This…this is terrible!” The senior student in charge of leading the way was completely stunned. Tonight, everyone was watching, and there would be a showdown of the best. Could it still proceed smoothly?
“Can you fight tonight?” The girl in yellow asked anxiously. “It’s alright, my injuries aren’t serious. I can recover immediately after taking the elixir.” The boy in white took out a clear crystal containing a golden liquid that emitted a soft light.
A moment later, his whole body glowed, golden light flowed around him, his complexion quickly became rosy, and his body was full of vigorous vitality. He had returned to his strongest state.
Qin Ming knew all along that Xiao Wu would win.
Because he knew very well that Wu Yaozu was hiding his true strength and had not shown his strongest form.
Most importantly, he sensed that Xiao Wu’s cultivation level was rather strange and there were some problems. The white-robed boy and the yellow-robed girl and their group departed.
“This is quite a commotion…” Qin Ming and Xiao Wu looked at each other, because they had already guessed the identity of the white-robed youth after their exchange.
“How about we beat up the other one too? That would be fair,” Xiao Wu suggested.
Beside them, the older students who were leading the way stared at the two from a distance with the look of someone looking at monsters, before finally steeling themselves and walking over.
“Gentlemen, the grass, bamboo, and golden vines have been damaged in large quantities. According to the academy’s regulations, you are one of the parties involved. You not only have to compensate for half of the day’s expenses, but also pay a fine.”
Instantly, both of them stared wide-eyed at the astonishing amount of money involved, feeling as if they were already bankrupt before even paying their tuition.
In the evening, the highly anticipated battle of geniuses took place as scheduled.
Kunjun has more than a dozen top-level training grounds and academies. A large number of disciples flocked to the Mountain and River Academy, and the arena was already overcrowded.
Many other flashes of consciousness intertwined in the night sky, observing the battle from above.
The entire city of Kunjun was abuzz with discussion, and many were eagerly awaiting the outcome of the battle. Even the night newspapers sent messengers to provide follow-up reports.
At the Shanhe Academy, the arena for the duel was packed, with even some senior figures in the VIP section. Many without tickets listened outside to hear the results.
The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, clearly indicating the thrill of the match. “Exceptionally talented; both are formidable and among the best of this year!”
“Both players are running on two separate tracks simultaneously, there’s a lot to see…” someone commented. Boom!
A tremendous roar, seemingly piercing the clouds, signaled the end of the great battle. “The result is in: Xin Youdao has narrowly lost!”
“Alas, what a pity! Our strongest freshman this year at Shanhe Academy is ultimately no match for Ling Yu of the Hundred Cities of Trial Swords.” Soon, dissenting voices seemed to rise from the scene.
“Breaking news! The prodigy Xin Youdao was already injured before he even made his appearance!”
However, this voice was quickly suppressed and did not cause a great stir before the relevant parties quickly “debunked” it.
People from various academies and universities are discussing it enthusiastically, especially the freshmen of this year, who feel incredibly excited and mesmerized. Many are extremely thrilled.
“This is truly a showdown between two geniuses of unparalleled talent; the vote was well worth it!”
“Ling Yu is incredibly powerful. He maintained an overwhelmingly dominant stance from beginning to end. He truly deserves to be called the young ancestor who is to test his sword against the world!”
At this moment, Ling Yu looked at the girl in yellow beside Xin Youdao and asked, “Are you saying that Brother Xin was injured and was severely wounded by someone beforehand, and that you suspect I arranged it?”
“That’s right, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!” the girl in yellow said indignantly.
Xin Youdao waved his hand and said, “A defeat is a defeat, there are no other reasons!” “Take me to see those two!” Ling Yu said.
“Alright, let’s go!” Ignoring Xin Youdao’s attempts to stop her, the girl in yellow turned and walked away, leading the way.
(There’s more to come!)
