Chapter 1265: Fighting to Become The Champion
Translator: Lordbluefire
“The majority of people, when facing such attacks akin to unstoppable tsunami waves, would definitely panic and act blindly. However, Xuanyuan is very experienced.”
Li Ziqi was joyful. “You guys probably don’t know that this fellow would often head to the Wind King Divine Hall to challenge the Wind King. That elemental king’s windstorm blades are many times sharper and faster compared to Zhan Fan’s attacks.”
Zhan Fan failed to take down his opponent after a long period, and he began to feel somewhat anxious.
Although such attacks could be unleashed rapidly, they consumed a very large amount of spirit qi. Zhan Fan definitely wouldn’t be able to persist in a war of attrition. Hence, he gritted his teeth and decided to risk his life to unleash his ultimate technique.
Thousand-layered Wolves!
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Zhang Fan slashed out, flooding the area with spirit qi, which then transformed into wild wolves that howled fiercely as they lunged toward Xuanyuan Po.
In an instant, the entire area was covered with the howls of the wolves.
Xuanyuan Po took a deep breath and pierced his silver spear forward in anger.
Torrential Rain Spearflower!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The wolves were all penetrated.
Once the wolves died, it immediately exploded and transformed into a qi wave in the form of sharp wind blades as it began a second attack.
Hua~
This exquisite ultimate technique caused the great teachers to marvel.
Just when everyone thought Xuanyuan Po was about to be diced into mincemeat, the sparks floating around him started to explode too.
Starfire Blaze!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sparks tore apart the wind blades. However, some landed on Xuanyuan Po’s body but were absorbed by his skin.
The explosion created a huge amount of flames and smoke that blocked the vision of many people. Not many people saw this scene.
Sun Mo noticed it, hence, he started to frown.
In the sea of flames, Xuanyuan Po charged forth and pierced out with his spear. He was then pushed to the side with a swipe of Zhan Fan’s blade, but right after that, Zhan Fan’s shoulder was penetrated by Xuanyuan Po’s right arm.
Ha!
Xuanyuan Po inhaled deeply and lifted Zhan Fan up. After that, he summoned all his strength and tossed Zhan Fan out of the stage.
Zhan Fan wasn’t willing to give up. He threw his long blade forward and it pierced onto the platform.
At the hilt of the blade, there was a spirit chain tied to Zhan Fan’s arm. But when he used that and pulled himself back toward the stage, his other shoulder got penetrated by Xuanyuan Po’s silver spear.
Pak! Pak!
Xuanyuan Po strode forward with large steps, charging toward Zhan Fan and punching out heavily.
“We will concede!”
Zhan Fan’s personal teacher shouted loudly.
His disciple’s shoulders were crippled. Even if he went back up the stage, he wouldn’t be able to win.
Xuanyuan Po stopped his attack and took his silver spear back with him before jumping down the platform.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Thunderous applause and cheers rang out. This battle was truly a nice fight to watch.
Ordinary people didn’t know much about battle strategy. They only wanted to watch a good fight.
For example, for the various soccer matches, the soccer fans loved to see both parties attacking each other. Those cowardly defense-oriented teams would always be mocked.
“Teacher Sun, congratulations!”
“Your esteemed disciple is truly impressive. He fully deserves the t.i.tle ‘Spear King’.”
“He’s definitely the champion!”
By using the pretext of congratulations, all the officials and wealthy people gathered at Sun Mo’s side, wanting to get closer to him.
Some seniors couldn’t stand the praises of these people, but after carefully thinking about it, the praises were no exaggeration.
Now in the top four, two of them were Sun Mo’s disciples. If his luck was good, they might become the top two.
Sun Mo closed his door and sent away the guests. He made good use of the resting time to do his best to maintain the physical conditions of Jiang Leng and Xuanyuan Po.
“You guys have to work hard!”
Li Ziqi also spared no expenses to show her care, doing her best for them both.
“Are you guys not a little too over-the-top by doing these?”
Jiang Leng was somewhat not used to this.
“You guys must win for sure and become the top two of this compet.i.tion. After that, our teacher will undoubtedly be the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces when it comes to educating and nurturing people.”
Lu Zhiruo was very agitated.
It was useless if a great teacher bragged about himself. He had to have personal disciples under his tutelage that had outstanding achievements.
Two days later, the battle for the top four began.
For the first round, Jiang Leng was against Zeng Sheng.
Zeng Sheng had lost five spiritual beasts against Ying Baiwu, and everyone in the audience knew that over 70% of a spiritual controller’s combat strength lay in their battle pets…
In the end, Jiang Leng won this battle easily.
However, the level of violence was too low, causing it to not be so fascinating. Hence, the audience was very disappointed.
“Oh yay, our battle strategy is working!”
Lu Zhiruo and Xianyu Wei cheered and applauded.
(The champions.h.i.+p is in sight now!)
Li Ziqi was grinning.
Jiang Leng was able to preserve his strength. As for the second round, even if Yuan Yuan defeated Xuanyuan Po, he would definitely suffer huge injuries. So, in the finals, he would surely lose to Jiang Leng.
All the audience and great teachers had looks of envy, helplessness, and despair.
“It’s really good to have more disciples in the compet.i.tion. They can always fight a war of attrition!”
“If the finals end up being a fight between Sun Mo’s disciples, all our faces would be thrown completely.”
“Be more confident and remove the word ‘if.”
Many seniors wanted to leave but eventually still decided to stay because they really wanted to watch the fight between Xuanyuan Po and Yuan Yuan.
‘They were youths of similar ages and after exchanging greetings, they each held their spears and charged toward each other.
Jiao Emerging from the Seas, Ten-Thousand Li Waves!
BOOM!
The spirit qi on the platform turned sticky under the effect of Yuan Yuan’s ultimate skill, causing Xuanyuan Po’s movements to be restricted. After that, a golden-colored jiao abruptly appeared and lunged toward Xuanyuan Po.
The combat addict didn’t show any hesitation in his charge.
Nine Revolutions Flame Dragon Tornado!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Nine gigantic dragons bared their fangs and claws as they spun around the silver spear, materializing from nothingness. They then gushed forth and surrounded Yuan Yuan.
Hua~
No one had expected both to use ultimate skills right at the start. For a time, the audience erupted in cheers.
The spectators nearer to the platform even felt pain on their faces, and their hair was disheveled from the qi flow caused by the violent attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
‘The two ultimate skills clashed and spirit qi erupted forth.
Both parties didn’t manage to gain an advantage, so they were now locked in close-combat with their spears piercing to-and-fro. Each clash would cause sparks to be emitted.
‘When the number of sparks surpa.s.sed a hundred and had fallen to the ground, Xuanyuan Po unleashed another ultimate skill.
Explode!
‘Those sparks actually ignited once more and before they burned out completely, they exploded. As a result, a gush of qi akin to an ocean wave directly blasted out in all directions.
“Careful!”
The great teachers were all extremely anxious and quickly acted to stifle them.
If these sparks drifted toward the crowd, a large number of people would definitely die.
‘The judge of this fight was a 5-stars great teacher. Looking at the aura of the attacks, he rapidly retreated and stood at the edge of the platform. Combat of this level was already sufficient to injure him.
‘As for whether he could stop them in time if something wrong happened?
Please!
This was not something a great teacher of his level could control. (Let the heavens decide who would live or die!)
The two of them continued to launch ultimate techniques at each other.
Defense?
‘That was only what the weak would do!
The audience was fully intoxicated, yet Sun Mo’s frown deepened.
“Teacher, what’s wrong? Isn’t the situation good?”
Lu Zhiruo grew worried when she noticed Sun Mo’s expression.
“Xuanyuan is too into the fight and has entered the state of ‘forget self.”
Sun Mo was worried.
In the past, Xuanyuan Po could always maintain his rationality. But now that he had met such a rare opponent who could tangle with him, his battle intent and potential were all fully ignited.
He had no other concerns and placed his full focus on the fight.
“Gaining an epiphany during combat? Isn’t this something good?”
Li Ziqi blinked.
“To anyone else, it would be a good thing. But as for Xuanyuan..”
Sun Mo turned his head and glanced at those high star-ranking great teachers on the judging table. As expected, those major characters who had had looks of excitement and admiration were now frowning. They started making guesses and were whispering in a discussion.
This time around, huge trouble had arrived..
