“Yes, Miss Yulian is not only beautiful, but also strong. She defeated Wang Zui and Ling Yixue easily. If she can defeat Ling Chen, that would truly be a pleasant scene. People would be truly relaxed and joyful!”
“Hahaha, relaxed and joyful? She is the golden daughter of Heavenly Peak City’s City Lord and the number one beauty. You can’t even enter the top four. How can you yearn for her?”
“Can’t I even think such in my heart?”
“You can, but this is called an ugly frog wanting to eat a swan’s meat.”
While these two mocked each other, the battle had already started.
The martial art Shi Yulian cultivated was obviously inclined towards being fast but soft and gentle.
In addition, she was truly proficient in scheming. Even if Ling Chen were more powerful than her, it wouldn’t be easy for him.
Ling Xiao smiled. He had already passed his judgement.
At the beginning, Ling Chen would suffer losses.
But as long as he was not defeated, Shi Yulian wouldn’t be able to endure.
Therefore, the first twenty moves were very important.
Sure enough, the battle developed as he had guessed.
Ling Chen tried to imitate Shi Yulian’s martial skill but was unsuccessful. In addition, his flaws were revealed, making him fall into a passive state. He narrowly avoided defeat several times.
Fortunately, Ling Chen was strong enough and reacted quickly, resolving the crisis and avoiding embarrassing defeat.
“Senior Apprentice Sister Yixue, you just exchanged pointers with Shi Yulian. Can you understand her traits?”
At this moment, Ling Yixue was on the fifth arena, which had originally belonged to Shi Yulian, but even though she had now claimed it, no one said anything.
Ling Xiao was on the fourth arena, so their proximity allowed them to chat.
“She is very hard to deal with. No matter what move you make, she already has a countermeasure. The most powerful aspect of this woman is not her strength but her brain.”
Ling Yixue replied.
“Yes, fighting doesn’t solely rely on brute force. Only by combining wisdom and power will you display your greatest strength.”
Ling Xiao nodded as if he were talking to himself while also giving direction to Ling Yixue.
Shi Yulian was very strong and intelligent.
However, in the end, her cultivation base was only Peak Rank Five Martial Vein while Ling Chen was at the Mid Rank Six Martial Vein Realm.
Not everyone was capable of skipping a rank in battle, not to mention that this was not simply skipping a single rank.
After twenty moves, Shi Yulian fell into a disadvantageous position, but Ling Chen grew fiercer and fiercer.
Ling Chen was not stupid; his intelligence was not any inferior to Shi Yulian’s.
Otherwise, he would have long died during the four years he had wandered outside.
A person tempered via life and death battles was truly different.
After forty moves, Ling Chen completely suppressed Shi Yulian. After all, he could do more than imitate others: he had two Transcendent Martial Art Fragments.
One imitated others; the other was even more terrifying.
It contained the profoundness of “suppression.”
As long as the opponent’s cultivation base was lower than his, their momentum would steadily weaken.
“Raging Waves Fist!”
At the sixtieth move, Ling Chen used his copied move from Shi Yue, knocking Shi Yulian off the arena.
Although her hair was messy, her landing posture was natural and unrestrained.
She deserved to be called the number one beauty of Heavenly Peak City. Even though she had lost, she still lost with grace.
“You are truly worthy of being the number one expert of the Ling Clan’s younger generation. This Yulian is not your opponent. I acknowledge my inferiority!”
Shi Yulian took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions and politely announced.
She couldn’t do anything about it. The gap between their cultivation bases was too big. Neither skills nor wisdom could replace it.
Moreover, the opponent’s skills and wisdom were not inferior to hers.
“Ling Chen!”
“Ling Chen!”
After Ling Chen defeated Shi Yulian, his popularity skyrocketed. On the Ling Clan’s side, many disciples chanted his name.
After all, Ling Xiao was only an outsider whereas Ling Chen was a true Ling Clansman.
Seeing Ling Xiao’s power, they didn’t feel happiness, only jealousy.
However, they proudly cheered Ling Chen’s power.
If the Ling Clan couldn’t resolve this integration problem, the externally recruited disciples would definitely become a hidden danger to the Ling Clan.
Ling Chen was also proud. His roaming gaze paused at Ling Xiao to express his disdain.
Soon, his gaze focused on Li Xinghui.
Now, Shi Yulian was the master of the third arena while he was the master of the second.
His next target would naturally be Li Xinghui.
“Li Xinghui, do you dare to fight me?”
“Senior Apprentice Brother Xinghui, please teach this arrogant fellow a lesson!”
“Yes, Li Xinghui! Don’t let this fellow be too complacent!”
“Beat him!”
Ling Chen’s previous actions had upset many people.
Li Xinghui slowly stood while staring at Ling Chen and releasing his gang qi. His full pressure, focused on Ling Chen.
“In this Heavenly Peak City, not only have you broken through to the Rank Six Martial Vein Realm!”
“Hahaha, Senior Apprentice Brother Xinghui has been hiding his strength!”
“He must have learned some kind of secret technique to conceal his cultivation base. This match will be interesting.”
“Unexpectedly, your cultivation base is also Mid Rank Six Martial Vein, no wonder you were still calm in front of my challenge. But you are still not my opponent!”
Ling Chen stood with his hands behind his back. As his robe fluttered in the air, he looked like a transcendent expert.
“Three moves!”
Li Xinghui suddenly announced.
Three moves?
What did that mean?
Did he want to defeat Ling Chen in three moves?
Was that possible?
Hearing Li Xinghui’s words, the audience seethed with excitement.
The disciples of the Ling Clan were angry, thinking that Li Xinghui was too arrogant.
However, the disciples of the other clans cheered and hooted. In any case, this was none of their business. It was good as long as Li Xiughui defeat Linged Chen.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, do you think that Li Xinghui’s words can be taken seriously?”
Ling Yixue asked Ling Xiao.
“Since he dared to say that after seeing Ling Chen fight, I don’t think he is bragging.”
Ling Xiao had always felt that Li Xinghui was very strong. That kind of strength absolutely did not solely stem from his cultivation base.
This fellow should also have experienced some kind of fortuitous encounter.
Ling Chen might be powerful, but in front of Li Xinghui, he was insufficient.
Li Xinghui was more like a mid-rank six demonic beast while Ling Chen was at most a mid-rank six martial artist.
Generally speaking, martial artists couldn’t defeat demonic beasts at the same rank, let alone one with a human’s intelligence.
“Speaking about it, I remember that Li Xinghui was raised by a demonic beast in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range before he turned six.”
Shi Yulian who was in the third arena suddenly said.
“No wonder.”
Ling Xiao had always felt that this Li Xinghui resembled a dormant demonic beast. It turned out that there was such a secret.
Ling Chen vs Li Xinghui!
This brought Heavenly Peak Gathering to its pinnacle.
Everyone believed that this battle would be the final battle in the Heavenly Peak Gathering.
First and second would soon be determined.
“Three moves to defeat me? Hahahaha, you truly have a big mouth! I really want to see how you will defeat me in three moves!”
Ling Chen was full of fighting spirit. He felt that Li Xinghui had only said that to disturb his mind, so he didn’t care about it.
