Chapter 29 A sudden event
Xuan Luo looked up onto the stage as well. He had fought with Tang Chen once before, so he is aware of Tang Chen’s potential; aside from having some flaws in his steps, everything else is fine.
“Haha. You didn’t partic.i.p.ate last time, eh?!” Zhan Feng Hua seemed to recognized Tang Chen. (I thought he partic.i.p.ated in every compet.i.tion before Xuan Luo came…the author needs to make up his mind. -_-)
Currently, Tang Chen is twenty five years of age. Even Zhang Ri is twenty four. This means that Tang Chen has been with Wu Dang for a very long time. Most of the disciples enter a Clan at the age of seven or eight; some even at five or six. Each Clan is located at a different area. People’s choices may differ as well. However, Wu Dang is the most popular because it is closest to Du Cheng.
Other Clans are located in faraway provinces. It could take months to arrive at a Clan (which would require a lot of money). Hence, the reality is that only those who come from affluent families may choose the Clan of their choice.
“Stop with the c.r.a.p and let’s battle.” Tang Chen coldly responded; he definitely didn’t give Zhan Feng Hua any face.
Seeing Tang Chen act this way, Zhan Feng Hua felt humiliated. In Chun Yang Palace, he is one of the most respected disciples. Other disciples would do anything to please him. Therefore, how could he not be angered right now?
Zhan Feng Hua pulled out his sword and pointed it horizontally at his opponent. As he stood on stage, everyone could feel the intensity of his demeanor.
Tang Chen did not initiate an attack. He knows he is at a disadvantage since he is using fists. An inch long, an inch strong (LOL HAHAHAHA. WHO TALKS LIKE THAT? HAAHAHAHA. He means, the longer the inch, the more advantage the person has!). Regardless how strong a body may be, it cannot face a weapon force with force. Although, in jiang hu, there are some skilled martial artists who could use their body strength to suppress the strength of weapons.
Tang Chen closed his eyes and deeply inhaled. Since he is representing Zi Yang Palace, he is under tremendous pressure. Aside from Wu Ya Zi’s constant provocation, his age also plays a factor. By his age, he should be going through jiang hu and experiencing life. However, he has never left the mountains because he wasn’t able to reach ‘success’ yet. In addition, he stayed for Zi Yang Palace…
As a disciple of Zi Yang Palace, Tang Chen doesn’t want to see Zi Yang Palace continue going on a spiraling downfall. However, a mayfly cannot shake a tree (Tang Chen is implying he is a fly compared to Chun Yang Palace, which is “the tree”). After all, he is not a G.o.d. He is only human. Plus, Chun Yang Palace’s reputation is steadily expanding; while Zi Yang Palace just keeps on deteriorating. Aside from the very few disciples, they basically have n.o.body.
Zhan Feng Hua didn’t move either. He remained standing where he was, looking at Tang Chen. They were both staring at each other.
Both of them looked at each other; with fire in their eyes.
But as they exchanged glances, Tang Chen and Zhan Feng Hua had already exchanged numerous rounds. The surprising thing was, they were using their spirits to fight.
Each person is born with a spirit. There isn’t a fixed method on how to cultivate the spirit. Instead, it’s an unnoticed transformation. Currently, Tang Chen and Zhang Feng Hua are using their spirits (You just said that. -_- I want the author to stop repeating himself lol).
Xuan Luo looked at the stage, and was confused. “Duan Ai xiong, why are they not attacking each other?”
Xuan Yuan Duan Ai’s eyes were fixed on the stage. He solemnly whispered, “They have already started to measure up against each other. I just can’t tell who is the stronger one.”
When it comes to the spirits fighting, it doesn’t merely test a disciple’s physical strength; it also tests a disciple’s mental understanding of Martial Arts. Sometimes, the battle of the spirits are more fierce than the battle of the bodies.
Xuan Luo stared intently on the stage. Suddenly, he was shocked to discover that he could see the battle scene!
He didn’t know how it happened, but he could see the two fighting ferociously in the air. Tang Chen’s attack was intense; his steps were fitting too. But Zhan Feng Hua was fighting equally as well. But suddenly, Zhan Feng Hua’s nei li increased rapidly; he wield his sword and produced a stream of qian qi which blasted its way towards Tang Chen.
“Tang da ge is going to lose…” Somehow, the words came out of Xuan Luo’s mouth.
Xuan Yuan Duan Ai looked at Xuan Luo as if he was a strange beast. Most people cannot see the battle of the spirits; instead, they only see two people looking at one another. Yet, Xuan Luo seems to be able to see who is winning; obviously he is not normal.
Right after Xuan Luo made his prediction, Tang Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; and his face turned as white as paper.
“I lost….” Tang Chen quietly accepted his defeat. He has no more strength to continue talking. He walked to the edge of the ba gua stage and hopped off.
Xuan Luo rushed to his side, “Tang da ge, please rest. It’s my turn. I will try my best.”
Tang Chen weakly smiled at Xuan Luo.
Zhan Feng Hua’s condition is not much better than Tang Chen’s. Tang Chen only lost because he wasn’t able to avoid the last hit. The speed of the qian qi was too quick.
But just like that, Zhan Feng Hua’s nei li is now empty.
Unlike the other contestants, Xuan Luo didn’t directly leaped onto the stage. Instead, he walked to the side of the stage and went up the steps.
This stunned the audience and Tian Yu Zi couldn’t help but smacked his forehead.
Wu Ya Zi smirked, “Tian Yu Zi, this is the disciple you brought up? Wow….”
“You have no right to judge my disciple!!” Tian Yu Zi roared. Tian Yu Zi’s voice caught the attention of all the audience, and everyone turned towards the platform.
“What? You can’t accept it? Then do something about it! I’ve already told you, your s.h.i.tty theory doesn’t work! You just won’t believe me. It has already been so many years, and your strongest disciples from Zi Yang Palace is comparable to our average disciples at best. What are you going to do about it, huh?!?” Wu Ya Di definitely isn’t going to allow this opportunity to slip. Rarely would he have the opportunity to make Tian Yu Zi look bad in front of all the disciples.
Xuan Luo had just gotten on stage, but he overheard everything due to their booming voices. He mumbled, “Old man…”
Xuan Luo knows the existence of Chun Yang Palace and their current potential is causing Zi Yang Palace a lot of stress; and all the stress is directly falling onto Tian Yu Zi.
Zhang Men and the Zhang Lao in charge did not try to stop the bickering. After all, they are both the elders of the Clan. In addition, they know their personalities.
“Humpt! If you got skills, then let’s battle! You smelly feet guy! I’m not done with you!” Tian Yu Zi exploded like lightning.
“Let’s battle then! I’m not afraid of you!” Wu Yai Zi’s posture was definitely not weaker than Tian Yu Zi’s. They started fighting on their platform.
Zhang Men wanted to intervene, but unexpectedly, Tian Yu Zi and Wu Ya Zi fought and flew their way onto the ba gua stage.
