Chapter 901: Keeping Silent is a Slap In the Face
“Who is willing to come up and give me some pointer?” the man cupped his hand.
He skipped the pleasantries. The time for all warriors was precious. They would rather spend every minute on cultivation, particularly for these young experts who had already attained the Transcendent Realm at a young age. They were considered the elites already. Many of them had the hope to reach beyond Transcendent Realm in the future.
“Qian Yinghao is here to duel with you!” Another young figure flew out.
“I’m s.h.i.+ping!” The man, who stepped on the stage first, arched his hands.
The two of them faced each other with their gaze becoming cold and sharp. Their aura began to sweep out. Although they were not the experts on the Top 100 List, they were still experts.
Neither of them took the first move, seemingly searching for an opening from the opponent. They did not want their flaws to be exposed first.
Qian Yinghao could not wait and took the first move. He wielded his long saber and slashed out dozens of saber phantoms in the sky. It was like a net formed with saber aura, covering all s.h.i.+ping’s escape route.
Ye Xiwen nodded. The young expert eligible for the gathering is strong, unlike the petty Wu Chenhai in the past.
In the face of the saber phantoms in the sky, s.h.i.+ping was still composed. His offence was unlike the saber phantom that covered the sky. He dished a sword light that pierced through the saber phantoms in the sky. Immediately, the saber phantoms covering the sky shattered.
s.h.i.+ping’s performance to counteract his opponent was splendid.
But, Qian Yinghao was not someone easy to deal with. The moment the saber phantom was dissipated, another saber phantom quickly followed up again.
Both had an equal strength. Solely from the battlefield, the only difference would be Qian Yinghao had always taken the initiative; he had initiated most of the attacks. Thus, it gave Qian Yinghao the advantageous position that allowed him to determine how the battle would go.
“Elder Brother Ye, who do you think will win?” Bai Hanmo next to him asked.
“s.h.i.+ping!” said Ye Xiwen lightly.
“Why?” Bai Hanmo was baffled. As a matter of fact, both sides seemed to be in a stalemate, but Qian Yinghao had been taking the initiative in the duel. Qian Yinghao should have a better winning chance instead.
“Qian Yinghao uses saber. Saber is the hegemon in the army. The essence of his weapon is to press forward. However, it will lose out in an endurance battle. Like the saying, the first war drumming cheers them up, then the second drum weakens, while the third drum devitalizes. Qian Yinghao has no chance of winning!” Ye Xiwen had always used saber himself. His understanding of the saber technique had reached a profound level. It was also because of the deduction of mysterious s.p.a.ce that he had attainments that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.
“But, if Qian Yinghao defeats s.h.i.+ping before his aura is exhausted, he will win!” Bai Hanmo still had doubt. In this respect, he was far inferior to Ye Xiwen. His growth experience was much smoother than Ye Xiwen. His understanding of many things was far less thorough than Ye Xiwen.
“If it’s any other opponent, Qian Yinghao has a good chance of winning even if the opponent is in the same level. Unfortunately, s.h.i.+ping is composed and does not move blindly. He holds onto this defensive stance. After sustaining through the initial momentum, he will last till Qian Yinghao’s exhaustion. By that time, it’s time to decide the victor!” Ye Xiwen added. The two were almost the same in strength. Qian Yinghao only had the slight upper hand with no way to suppress s.h.i.+ping completely. That was why Ye Xiwen made such a judgment.
“Ha, this is ridiculous. Who do you think you are? Many experts here dare not to declare the victor so soon. How dare you proclaim that Qian Yinghao will lose?” A sneer came from the other side.
Although there were hundreds of meters of distance, for people with cultivation like them, unless they deliberately lowered their volume, it was no different from talking face to face.
Everyone noticed that it was the young expert in a Chinese robe next to Scarlet Thunder Immortal. At this time, he was looking at Ye Xiwen with disdain, as if he was witnessing a joke.
From Yao Qian’s explanation through sound transmission, Ye Xiwen learnt that this person was named Chai Jianben. He was not an expert outside the island, but a descendant of another huge force on Sunny Bamboo Island.
Chai Jianben was Scarlet Thunder Immortal’s supporter. He was strong, not worse than Yao Qian. He had already reached the Transcendent Realm Fifth Level Peak. His ranking was even higher than Yao Qian in the past.
Bai Hanmo glanced at Chai Jianben angrily, but Ye Xiwen next to him seemed to be indifferent.
Everyone was a little baffled, especially Yao Qian who was looking at Ye Xiwen. In her memories, Ye Xiwen might not be a hot-tempered person, but he wasn’t a good-tempered person either. At this time, he was so quiet.
Ye Xiwen ignored Chai Jianben completely. He could only look bitterly at Ye Xiwen who completely ignored him, and then returned his gaze to the battlefield.
The situation in the battlefield was like a movie directed by Ye Xiwen himself. What Ye Xiwen said had taken place as if Ye Xiwen had arranged their acts long ago. Qian Yinghao was not weak, but his momentum fell short. As he approached exhaustion, he could not suppress the opponent any longer. With just an attack, s.h.i.+ping defeated him completely.
Seeing this result, Ye Xiwen still looked calm and breezy, while Chai Jianben had a long face.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Ye Xiwen didn’t say anything!
There was no need to comment any further!
A real slap did not take any words. It was a slap which Chai Jianben had no way to avoid.
This was the best slap in the face!
Aren’t you arrogant?
Didn’t you say that I am not qualified to comment?
So what, Isn’t it developing in the way I said now?
At this time, Chai Jianben finally understood why Ye Xiwen didn’t retort just now. A silent slap was better than a loud one. He felt his face scorching hot!
Keeping silent was a slap in the face!
At this time, Chai Jianben could only look at Ye Xiwen with spiteful eyes, as if he was looking at his nemesis.
Bai Hanmo next to Ye Xiwen laughed unscrupulously. He kept giving thumbs up, as if to praise Ye Xiwen.
Others would be concerned with Chai Jianben’s prestige and would not be involved in shaming him. Bai Hanmo did not care at all.
He was only bothered with having fun. It didn’t matter to him that Chai Jianben’s face was so ugly it was seemingly swollen.
For this person, Ye Xiwen could only frown with resignation!
After defeating Qian Yinghao, s.h.i.+ping took the challenge of another expert non-stop. After beating two experts who were also Transcendent Realm Second Level Peak consecutively, a Transcendent Realm Third Level expert stopped his streak.
For the gathering, these duels were just appetizers.
After that, there were several rounds of duels followed by. As time pa.s.sed, the Transcendent Realm Second Level warriors slowly stopped making moves. They just watched from a distance. The main battlefield was transferred to the hands of Transcendent Realm Fifth Level Expert.
“Chai Jianming from the Chai family. Ye Xiwen, do you dare to give me some pointers?” Just when Ye Xiwen felt a little bored, a harsh sound came into his ears. He saw a blue-clothed youth standing in the middle, looking at him with piercing eyes in an attempt to challenge his bottom line.
In addition to him, there were many people looking at them at this movement. Some were baffled who Ye Xiwen was. He was eligible to have a seat at the main seat area.
Some people knew Ye Xiwen, but some people knew nothing about Ye Xiwen at all. Hence, this group of people was baffled. After all, Ye Xiwen only seemed to be at Transcendent Realm Third level.
Even among them, the Transcendent Realm Third Level was not outstanding. It could only be regarded as average, not to mention among the Top 100 experts.
Everyone looked at Ye Xiwen and didn’t know how he would answer.
Generally speaking, those experts sitting at the main seat area would not partic.i.p.ate in the duel so soon. At worst, they would be within Top 100 at a level whole lot higher than everyone else. For the average warriors, this group was in a different caliber.
If these warriors were involved, there was nothing worthwhile to watch for the average warriors’ duel. After all, who would be interested in the inferior ones?
So no matter whether it was the crowd or those in the Top 100, they would seek to partic.i.p.ate later in the event.
But Ye Xiwen was different. In the eyes of many people, Ye Xiwen had not yet proven his strength, so some people inevitably found it unacceptable.
Ye Xiwen glanced at the opposite Chai Jianben with a smile. Chai Jianming openly challenged him at this time. There was definitely someone supporting him at the back.
However, since the challenger was here, Ye Xiwen should not be in cowardice.
Ye Xiwen smiled as he stood up and said, “If this is the case, then I will personally give you some pointers!”
“Hahaha!”
As soon as Ye Xiwen’s words came out, many people suddenly couldn’t help being amused. Chai Jianming was giving pleasantries superficially. Ye Xiwen actually grabbed his words and wanted to give pointers to him.
In particular, Bai Hanmo rolled around with a smile.
Chai Jianming’s face flushed. Ye Xiwen’s words irritated him. He could only say bitterly, “I hope your capability is the same with your mouth!”
