Chapter 13 Brother Wu, please give me some advice!
Everyone knew every detail about the Disciples of Chixiao Peak, because there were only five of them in total!
Ye Chengfeng and Lin Mu were at the Golden Core Stage. If they were to fight, Heavenly Illumination Peak would certainly send opponents of the same Realm.
As for the remaining three, Ji Fuyao was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, while Chu Hongyu and Lu Bai were both at the Qi Training Stage!
Didn't that just match up perfectly?
But!
What the hell was Lu Bai? He had only just advanced to the Qi Training Stage a month ago; was he going up there to get beaten?
Half an incense stick later, Chixiao Peak arrived, fashionably late!
Ji Fuyao led the way, followed by Lu Bai and Chu Hongyu.
Seeing this, everyone showed expressions that confirmed their expectations.
What was there to even watch? There was no suspense at all!
No wonder Heavenly Illumination Peak chose Wu Xu; it turned out to be to 'take care' of Lu Bai. They had tried their best, but they couldn't find anyone weaker. Qi Training Stage Level Three against Level One was already considered bullying!
The two peaks' forces exchanged glances, and electric currents and sparks seemed to flow in the air!
Regardless of how others saw it, the two parties involved would see this 'decisive battle' through to the end.
Fu Tianyuan stood up and said, "If you're ready, then let's begin! We will proceed by Realm, from highest to lowest. First match: Ji Fuyao versus Tang Mixue!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures landed in the arena.
Ji Fuyao was like an ice-capped snow lotus, and Tang Mixue's appearance was also sweet and charming. This match, putting everything else aside, was at least very pleasing to the eye!
"I doubt there will be much of a fight!"
"Tang Mixue can't be Ji Fuyao's opponent. If she's smart, she should concede proactively!"
Everyone discussed.
Tang Mixue seemed to have heard the voices from below. She looked at Ji Fuyao and said, "You also think I'll concede?"
"I refuse to!"
"Everyone believes you're invincible in Foundation Establishment. Today, I'll test your depth!"
After speaking, Tang Mixue summoned a lantern-shaped Magic Treasure, which flew into the sky.
Ji Fuyao followed, flying up as well!
Buzz!
A flame lit up in the lantern, and then the entire sky was enveloped in a mist, including Ji Fuyao's figure.
Inside, winds and thunder surged, captivating the Heart-Nature!
Everyone was surprised; this Tang Mixue was not to be underestimated! Ji Fuyao would probably have to expend some effort to deal with her.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a sword light suddenly lit up, tearing through the vast mist.
Tang Mixue clutched her shoulder and retreated uncontrollably.
The sky returned to calm.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless. It was over just like that?
They had guessed the result but not the process.
As expected of Ji Fuyao! Was there anyone else in the sect at the Foundation Establishment Stage who could withstand one of her sword strikes?
Ji Fuyao slowly landed and walked back to Lu Bai's side.
Tang Mixue, on the other hand, had a bitter expression, looking completely dejected.
"First match, Chixiao Peak wins!" Fu Tianyuan stood up and announced, then said, "Second match, Chu Hongyu versus Ran Xing!"
Ran Xing looked dashing and, after entering the arena, gently said to Junior Sister Chu Hongyu, "Junior Sister Chu, don't worry, I'll keep my strength in check!"
Chu Hongyu hid behind Lu Bai.
Lu Bai pulled her out and quietly encouraged her, "Hong Yu, don't be afraid! Just think of him as an eagle bullying a little white rabbit. Drive him away, and the little white rabbit will be safe."
Regardless of what others thought, Lu Bai still held a glimmer of hope for Chu Hongyu. Her strength wasn't bad; she just had a childlike Heart-Nature and was timid! If she could overcome this obstacle, she might have a chance to win.
If Hong Yu won, he wouldn't have to go on stage.
After listening, Chu Hongyu's eyes lit up. She darted into the arena and huffed, "Why are you bullying the little white rabbit?"
Ran Xing looked utterly bewildered!
What did I do?
Everyone else was also confused; only Lu Bai covered his face with his hand!
"Anyone who bullies a little white rabbit is a bad guy! I'm going to hit you," Chu Hongyu declared, then raised her hand and attacked Ran Xing.
However, her attack was soft and weak, not even displaying one-tenth of her strength.
Ran Xing felt a bit reluctant to retaliate. He slightly turned his body and dodged to the side.
Seeing this, Chu Hongyu thought the 'bad guy' was scared and immediately gained a lot of confidence.
She bent down, picked up a pebble, and threw it at Ran Xing.
Senior Brother fights eagles like this!
Ran Xing shook his head.
Dodging wasn't a solution. After all, victory determined the amount of resources for both peaks, so he had to be ruthless in his attack.
"My apologies, Junior Sister Chu, I must offend you!"
After speaking, Ran Xing lightly pushed with his palm, using a gentle force to send Chu Hongyu out of the arena.
Ah! Chu Hongyu shrieked, flailing wildly in the air.
Ji Fuyao raised her hand and caught her, her expression calm. This outcome was already expected.
"I'm sorry!"
Chu Hongyu looked at Lu Bai timidly, as if she had committed a grave error.
Lu Bai smiled gently, "It's okay, Hong Yu, you did great!"
"Second match, Heavenly Illumination Peak wins!" Fu Tianyuan stood up again to announce.
"Third match, one battle to decide the victor: Lu Bai versus Wu Xu!"
As Lu Bai prepared to enter, Ji Fuyao suddenly said, "Just do your best!"
And Chu Hongyu clenched her small fist, cheering him on, "Senior Brother will win!"
In her eyes, Senior Brother was super amazing!
Lu Bai nodded.
He flew into the arena, composed and at ease, exuding the demeanor of a true master.
Wu Xu, on the other hand, was timid and appeared very reserved.
He was the weakest Disciple of Heavenly Illumination Peak, usually having no presence. He had never experienced such a grand occasion. If not for Lu Bai, Peng Dayong would never have chosen him.
Everyone was speechless!
Judging solely by their demeanor, Lu Bai seemed like the one with the higher cultivation. However, battles relied on raw strength, not demeanor.
Therefore, everyone still favored Wu Xu.
"Lu Bai," a voice called out from outside the arena at that moment.
Lu Bai turned his head to look. It was none other than Fu Ziming calling him. This guy said with a serious expression, "I hope you can win! After all, we're equally famous, and if you lose, I'll lose face too!"
Lu Bai: "..."
Who the hell is equally famous with you? This is an insult to me!
He couldn't be bothered with this second-generation rich kid. He slowly raised his Magic Sword and said indifferently, "Senior Brother Wu, please enlighten me!"
