Chapter 126 – Establishing Prestige
“That Bi Fan is simply too vicious! If I ever run into him, I’ll just throw in the towel immediately.” A disciple stated.
“Bi Fan has already taken hundreds of punches from Luo Sheng; and look, the corner of his mouth has already started showing blood, but he’s not even bothering about it, and he’s just wildly punching back.”
“Even Luo Sheng has taken hundreds of punches from Bi Fan, but he isn’t as badly affected. I think that his grandfather has given him more things, like maybe, a high-grade armor…”
… …
All the other contests were over, and everyone’s attention was completely focused on Bi Fan and Luo Sheng, and everyone had started discussing their fight openly.
The brutality of Bi Fan and Luo Sheng’s contest was leaving a very grave impression on the other disciples of the Quinyang Sect, and everyone was afraid of facing the two of them in combat.
“Oh boy, it’s a good thing that I gave Luo Sheng my armor for protection today. The manner in which Bi Fan is attacking him, he would have killed Luo Sheng today. But right now, Luo Sheng has the best chance that he could have asked for; he can easily kill Bi Fan right now.” Luo Xiao Tian thought to himself.
Ling Xin Ya was so nervous, that he had already gotten up from his chair.
Yu Qing Yang was also clinching his fists, and was ready to charge in any second, if Bi Fan needed to be rescued.
Yan Yu Si, unconsciously, was already leaning forward, almost as if she was ready to charge in as well.
Next to her, Xiao Feng was even more nervous, so much so, that neither had noticed the other’s anxiety.
In a flash, Bi Fan and Luo Sheng had exchanged another hundred punches, and the manner in which they treating their own bodies, was frightful to watch.
Although Bi Fan was exceptionally strong physically, and was wearing his armor as well, his interiors had already sustained several shocks, and his blood had started streaming out from the corner of his mouth.
Luo Sheng was better off, even though he had taken the same number of hits from Bi Fan, owing to his grandfather’s armor, which seemed to be giving better protection.
However, soon enough, the corner of his mouth also started showing traces of blood, and it became evident that Bi Fan’s punches had been doing their job well.
A hundred or so punches later, Bi Fan had already covered Luo Sheng’s entire body with his darker attacks, and was ready to finish the fight.
“Luo Sheng, I hope you had your fun in beating me up… now it’s time to finish this.” Bi Fan sneered.
“Bi Fan, you need to admit your defeat while you still have the chance, or else, I might end up injuring you severely, and you may even die.” Luo Sheng wasn’t showing a weakness, and on contrary, was only trying to provoke Bi Fan to carry on.
Bi Fan smiled nefariously, as he continued to attack Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng, now, attacked Bi Fan with a single punch, using all his strength, and made straight for Bi Fan’s chest.
Luo Sheng had never expected Bi Fan’s response; Bi Fan dodged sideways.
Then, Bi Fan quickly turned around and punched Luo Sheng, and hit his back.
“Boom!” Bi Fan had put a little more strength in this attack, which along with Luo Sheng’s tremendous momentum, was enough to push him towards the end of the contest stage.
Luo Sheng’s own momentum added to the strength of Bi Fan’s punch, made his forward momentum so tremendous, that Luo Sheng couldn’t help himself as he was pushed to the edge of the contest stage.
If Luo Sheng was thrown off the stage, then he’d lose the fight. Luo Sheng didn’t want to lose the fight, so he was trying as hard as he could to gain a foothold.
Bi Fan followed Luo Sheng all that way, and jumped up as he delivered a kick, right in Luo Sheng’s b.u.t.tocks.
He kicked quite hard, and sent Luo Sheng flying off the Stage.
Bi Fan had carried these actions out in a matter of seconds, and so suddenly, that it was so dizzying, that no one was able to grasp it, as he turned the contest around.
There was a brief moment of silence; absolute silence. Even a pin drop could have been heard clearly.
Then, there was an enormous outbreak: “Bi Fan, you’re awesome!”
“Bi Fan, that kick was great! Well done!”
“Bi Fan you should have kicked Luo Sheng to his death.”
… …
It seems that arrogance offends people very easily. A lot of people didn’t like Luo Sheng, and most of them had started cheering for Bi Fan.
The moment Luo Xiao Tian saw Luo Sheng fall of the stage, his face started getting distorted, and a murderous Aura started to rise in his eyes.
Luo Xiao Tian, immediately, got up and left; he didn’t even bother to look back at his grandson.
“Excellent Work!” Ling Xin Ya stood up, and started applauding.
Ling Xin Ya was so happy that he started cheering out loudly, completely unaware that he was losing his deportment in the process.
Although Yu Qing Yang didn’t show it, but he too, was really happy, because the Quinyang Sect had finally found their miracle.
If Bi Fan continued to grow, then he could take Quinyang to new heights.
There are many Sects in the world, but even one such genius was capable of taking any Sect to the top.
Like the Yuan Shi Sect, in the beginning, they were only a very small faction. But a long time ago, there came a man named Yuan Yi, who turned out to be their miracle. Yuan Yi rose so fast, that in a hundred years, he was already the strongest in the world, which is how the Yuan Shi Sect was able to lay such a strong foundation.
After Yuan Yi became famous, his name automatically started attracting many young talents to the join the Yuan Shi Sect, and the Sect was able to expand its reach, with time.
As Yuan Yi’s strength continued to rise, so did the Yuan Shi Sect, and in less than a thousand years, they were able to establish themselves as the best in the World.
Since the Yuan Shi Sect had been able to build their strength on the back of just one such genius, the Quinyang Sect, too, could replicate the process with Bi Fan’s help.
“It seems that I’ll have to watch out for Luo Xiao Tian. I must not allow him to create any trouble for Bi Fan.” Yu Qing Yang thought to himself: “We have finally found our miracle, and we must allow him to grow properly.”
“Bi Fan actually won, is this really happening?” Xiao Feng simply couldn’t believe her eyes.
Yan Yu Si’s mouth remained hung open for a long time, before it finally closed: “Bi Fan was at a disadvantage the entire time, how did he manage to turn his defeat into a victory so suddenly ah? I think that he’s been hiding more things than I thought, and I must ask him….”
Previously, Yan Yu Si was interested in Bi Fan because she felt that he was a very talented youngster. But now, after this display, she had started taking an even keener interest in Bi Fan, as she wanted to know more about these secrets that Bi Fan had been keeping.
For example, Bi Fan’s physical strength: his bodily strength was so strong, that no one was capable of identifying just how much strength he had, in reality.
Bi Fan stepped off the stage, and returned to his place next to Jing Feng.
Jing Feng was astonished: “Brother Bi Fan, it seems that you have far too much hidden strength, just exactly how powerful are you?”
“Not that much. I won’t be me making it easy for you to win the championship. I’ll start restoring my energy, I’ve consumed too much off it.” Bi Fan smiled.
Bi Fan immediately sat down, and started meditating to restore his energy.
He continued to practice with ease, since no one in the Ming Fung Valley had the courage to disturb him after his recent display.
As Bi Fan began his meditation, the others in the arena began their discussions. Luo Sheng, on the other hand, had no idea where to go, as he was only seeing shadows in every direction; even his pack of rogues had disappeared.
This time, Luo Sheng had been disgraced to such an extent, that there was a good chance that he may not continue to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament.
“Brother Bi Fan had joined with us during the Selection Tournament. He’s become so powerful, I simply cannot believe it.” The speaker was Tie Niu.
When Tie Niu had matched up against Bi Fan, he had lost. But at the time, he simply hadn’t been able to accept his defeat. Now however, he wasn’t just willing to accept it, but also felt honored.
Many of the other disciples, who had played against Bi Fan in the past, were carrying the same idea. At the time, when they had lost, they were unable to resign to their defeat, but at present, they had not only accepted their loss, but were also showing off that they had crossed blades with such a man.
Bi Fan had beaten Luo Sheng, so naturally he was bound to find himself in the limelight. But the manner, in which he had beaten Luo Sheng, had terrified many people.
“If I ever run into Bi Fan in a match, then I think that it’s best to just throw in the towel early, or he might end up wrecking me as well.” A disciple’s reflected his fears of facing Bi Fan.
“Yes ah, he’s ah….he’s a very ruthless man. It’s best to not provoke him. Terrifying…. I have to face him later today, I think I’ll just go in and conceded my defeat before the fight starts.”
“You need not fear him; didn’t you see his previous matches? Did he use such strength then? No, he didn’t. He didn’t hit any of his opponents like that, and he only beat up Luo Sheng.” Another disciple voiced his opinion.
“Bi Fan and Luo Sheng had a bet between them, which is why they were fighting like two mad men. We don’t have to fear him. But well, if we go up against Bi Fan, then there’s no chance of winning, so we might as well admit defeat, rather than wasting our time and energy.”
These people, probably, were so sacred of Bi Fan, physiologically, that most of them wouldn’t even dare to fight against him.
Bi Fan had probably never dared to imagine that his display would get him such an amazing response from the crowd.
