“Chen’er, you just fought against Shi Yulian and must have consumed a lot of your energy. It’s better to rest for an hour first.”
At that time, Ling Xiaotian reminded him.
This peak battle must not be lost.
If Ling Chen obtained first place, his Ling Clan would have finally suppressed all the other clans.
Even though Ling Chen was arrogant, he understood this logic.
“I don’t mind. You can rest as much as you like. Not to mention an hour, even an entire day is not a problem. In any case, it will only take three moves to defeat you.”
Li Xinghui was completely indifferent.
Ling Xiao felt that the characters of both Li Xinghui and Ling Chen were the same. Both considered everyone beneath their notice and set themselves high above the masses.
“Humph!”
Ling Chen coldly snorted without saying anything and began to rest.
“Ling Xiao, go and challenge Li Xinghui. Test Li Xinghui’s strength for Ling Chen.”
Ling Xiaotian sat down, but Ling Yin stood up and commanded Ling Xiao with his status as a Supreme Elder.
“Making me probe a way for Ling Chen?”
A sneer appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.
You are a Supreme Elder, and I am currently one of Ling Clan’s disciples, so I cannot easily refuse you, but do you think that I’m stupid? In any case, even if I lose, I won’t lose anything. Let’s just play around.
“This disciple obeys your orders!”
After thinking for a bit, Ling Xiao stood up and jumped onto the first arena.
“Li Xinghui right? What’s your relation with Li Xingyun?”
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
“Xingyun was my biological younger brother!”
“Oh, I see.”
Killing intent flashed through Ling Xiao’s eyes.
Because Li Xingyun had killed his dearest people, he had no good impression of the Li Clan.
Besides, this Li Xinghui had been investigating the cause of Li Xingyun’s death and would inevitably reach the truth one day.
Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it was better to make a move first.
However, this arena was obviously not a good place to make a move. If Li Xinghui were killed in front of so many people, no matter his justification, the Li Clan would not let him off.
Therefore, he planned to exchange a few moves before pretending to lose.
After Ling Chen fought with Li Xinghui, he would see the true depths of these two. After that, he would be more confident in challenging both Ling Chen and Li Xinghui.
After all, he was not a god, only an Initial Rank Six Martial Vein martial artist.
Although he was more powerful than the average martial artists because of his Landscape Martial Soul, he wouldn’t look down on his opponents.
“It’s a pity. I ran into Li Xingyun in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range before, which would be regarded as fate. Although there were some misunderstandings between us, he actually died so young. It is truly regrettable.”
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Xinghui and sighed. “Since my family’s Supreme Elder has ordered me to challenge you, I can only do this. Receive my punch first.”
After speaking, he cupped his hands and clenched his fists that turned into two meteors shooting towards Li Xinghui.
At this moment, his cultivation base was still limited to Peak Rank Five Martial Vein, and this move didn’t use <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> but rather used <Pure Yang Technique>.
Li Xinghui just sat there without standing up. He even took out a book and read it.
Ling Xiao didn’t know how powerful Li Xinghui was, but this fellow’s pretentious skills were absolutely top-notch in Heavenly Peak City.
Interesting!
Ling Xiao secretly smiled. If he hadn’t wanted to intentionally lose, this fist would have definitely made this pretentious Li Xinghui suffer.
He had held back on his attack, displaying Meteorite Fist and Pure Yang Technique at only the great success realm.
Boom!
The two fists shrouded in flames ruthlessly shot toward Li Xinghui’s head. This power was not weak to the audience, but Li Xinghui didn’t even look at it.
He just slightly moved his left hand that suddenly resembled a beast’s claw.
At that moment, Ling Xiao clearly felt the aura of a demonic beast from Li Xinghui.
Stab!
This claw didn’t seem anything special, but it hit the weakest point of Ling Xiao’s fists, tearing his sleeves.
Even on his arms protected by <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>, a shallow mark was left.
“Aiyo, so powerful!”
Ling Xiao took advantage of this opportunity to fly out and land on the fourth arena.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Ling Xiao had feigned defeat.
Ling Yin was not blind and could naturally also see this.
“Ling Xiao, you have truly lost face for our Ling Clan!”
He cursed.
Ling Xiao, however, sat in the arena and said with a smile, “Supreme Elder, there is no need to get angry. I challenged Li Xinghui according to your command, but he was too strong. I was unable to stop him!”
“Hahahaha!”
Hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter.
They all could see that Ling Xiao didn’t have a good relationship with the Ling Clan’s Supreme Elder Ling Yin.
“I heard that Ling Feifan is Ling Yin’s grandson. Since Ling Xiao defeated Ling Feifan, it’s nothing surprising for Ling Yin to be unhappy.”
“Ling Xiao defeated Ling Feifan in a just and honorable way, but this Ling Yin is truly narrow-minded. Is he worthy of being the Supreme Elder of the Ling Clan?”
“It’s no wonder that the Ling Clan was so weak. With these kinds of people managing the clan, it would be a wonder if they were not. Fortunately, Ling Xiaotian recruited disciples from the outside. Otherwise, the Ling Clan would still be a joke.”
“Yes!”
“Okay, stop talking. Someone is challenging Li Xinghui! It’s Shi Yulian!”
Shi Yulian was truly courageous. In fact, even if she were defeated in this challenge, she would benefit.
This was a rare chance.
It was no wonder that she had made such rapid progress this year. If one had no misgivings and wholeheartedly sought progress, that would be terrifying.
When Shi Yulian entered the arena, Ling Xiao also recalled his fight with Li Xinghui.
Although he had lasted only one move and pretended to be defeated, he had learned a lot.
Li Xinghui had pretended to underestimate his enemy, but he actually hadn’t.
Moreover, Li Xinghui’s claw had truly caught his weak point. Although he could have dodged it, others might not be able to do so.
He guessed that Li Xinghui possessed something special; otherwise, a martial artist of this realm wouldn’t be able to do this.
As Ling Xiao saw it, being able to grasp an opponent’s weak point in an instant was a terrifying technique.
“This Yulian knows that she is no match for you, but this girl still wants to learn one or two things from Noble Son Xinghui. I wonder whether this girl can?”
At this moment, Shi Yulian stood opposite Li Xinghui.
“You can make a move!”
Li Xinghui slowly stood up and looked at Shi Yulian. Ling Xiao didn’t know whether it was an illusion, but at that instant, he noticed that Li Xinghui’s gaze resembled a poisonous snake.
“Eight Trigrams Roving Palm!”
Shi Yulian became serious and launched a small success realm Entry-level Peak Palm Technique.
This palm technique was an exquisite martial art that combined a movement technique and a martial skill. When it was used, one’s body would become soft and boneless, allowing the user to sway flexibly like a snake.
There was no doubt about Shi Yulian’s strength.
She had defeated Wang Zui and Ling Yixue in succession; moreover, she hadn’t been in sore straits against Ling Chen.
In the first twenty moves, she had even nearly defeated him.
However, she had still lost because of her lower cultivation. Therefore, even when she challenged Li Xinghui, some people remained optimistic about her.
