Chapter 116 – Yu Qing Yang
(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the eighth chapter for this week.)
The next day, Bi Fan arrived at the tournament’s venue early in the morning.
Yan Yu Si and Xiao Feng had both come to witness the tournament. Yan Yu Si was dressed in a white gown, and resembled a fairy that had descended from the world of immortals. She stood out from the rest of the men, and women, of Quinyang with ease.
Xiao Feng had also dressed up for the occasion, and looked quite cute herself, but still, wasn’t able to match up to Yan Yu Si’s beauty.
Bi Fan and Jing Feng were both sitting together, and could help stare at the two of them in awe.
“Brother Jing Feng, how are things between you and Xiao Feng?” Bi Fan asked abruptly.
“Ahem….” Jing Feng seemed a little scared all of a sudden: “You know, I like to juggle girls a bit. But of course, in the long term, I see Xiao Feng as someone I can be with.”
“Then you’ll have to add more fuel to it. Xiao Feng isn’t looking good at the moment, and if you miss your opportunity, she may not give you a second chance.” Bi Fan smiled.
Jing Feng sighed: “Actually, I don’t like being tied down; I like to travel and explore. I want to wander around for a few more years.”
Bi Fan didn’t know what to say. He could obviously sense that Jing Feng and Xiao Feng liked each other, but Jing Feng was far too easy going.
The situation between Xiao Feng and Jing Feng was a difficult one, since Xiao Feng likes stability and steadiness. Their personalities are very contrasting.
The contest began soon, and the sixteen fighters were ready to engage in the round-robin stage of the contest. A win would fetch the victor three points, while a draw would fetch both fighters one point each, and a loss would get a fighter no points.
At the end of the stage, the fighter with the maximum points would be declared the winner of the tournament.
Once the contest starts, two successive rounds would only be differentiated with a one hour long break, which was going to be a big challenge for the participants. The contest would be determined by drawing slots. In the first round, the first two slots would fight each other; number three would fight with number four, and so on. All the eight fights would be started at the same time.
In the next round, number one would fight with number three; number two will fight with number four, and so on, so forth. After all the fighters were done with their fifteen rounds, the contestant with the highest number of points would be declared the Champion.
In the past few years, the Disciple’s tournament’s most dazzling contest had always been between Jing Feng and Mo Nan. Bi Fan and Luo Sheng had both emerged only recently.
Luo Sheng was fighting with a top grade weapon, which was quite powerful, which is why he was able to register his wins with ease.
Bi Fan drew number two; Luo Sheng got number ten; Jing Feng was given number twelve, whereas Mo Nan drew number fifteen.
The contest was looking quite favorable to Bi Fan, since he wouldn’t have to face any of the stronger contestants in the early stages of the tournament.
Luo Sheng was out of luck. He would have to go against the strongest, Jing Feng, in the second round itself.
Bi Fan’s first round’s opponent was a man named Wang Ming, who was in the same layer as Bi Fan, ‘Enormous strength’.
After the two of them made their salutations, the match officially began.
Wang Ming had been watching Bi Fan’s previous fights, and carried some fear of Bi Fan’s skills, which is why he started with his strongest attack.
He cast out the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’ as speedily as he could.
Bi Fan didn’t use his purple feathered sword, and restored to using the ‘Swimming Dragon’ and ‘Babu Swimming Dragon’ combination again. As they met each other, Bi Fan was easily able to evade his opponent’s attacks, and was able to attack him in return, with ease.
Wang Ming’s face was already going pale, as he was being forced to use his sword to defend himself, and he simply couldn’t dare to attack Bi Fan.
Owing to Bi Fan agility, Bi Fan was easily able to find the gaps in his opponent’s defense, and was finding it easy to attack Wang Ming.
Although Wang Ming was in the same layer as Bi Fan, the gap in their real strengths was far too high, and Wang Ming was hit several times in quick succession, and fell to his defeat.
Bi Fan bagged his first three points with ease, and started stepping down to take some rest.
However, as he descended down the stage, he realized that he wasn’t the fastest to win the first round, as Jing Feng was already seated in his place, and was busy restoring his energy.
By the time Bi Fan reached his seat, Luo Sheng had also finished his fight, and was coming off the stage, with his head held high in arrogance.
Mo Nan also finished his fight pretty soon, and looked ready to match Jing Feng once again. Mo Nan had lost to Jing Feng, each time they had come face to face in past, but he still hadn’t given up.
“Brother Jing Feng, you’ll be facing Luo Sheng in the next round. Go easy on him; if he’s unable to participate in the contest, then I’ll have no way of humiliating him.” Bi Fan said.
“Don’t worry, he’s all yours.” Jing Feng laughed.
Neither of the two had consumed much energy, and they were both done with their restorations fairly soon, so they continued to chatter.
Even though they were busy chatting, Bi Fan still hadn’t forgotten that this was a tournament, and he continued to observe other participant’s displays.
As long as Bi Fan was able to watch a skill in action, he could replay it later in his mind. And then, after carefully dissecting the skill, he could learn the skill.
Bi Fan’s gifted memory, and constant research, were both, contributing reasons to Bi Fan’s steep increase in strength and proficiency.
The first round of the stage ended soon, and hadn’t provided anything amazing. However, Luo Sheng, Bi Fan, Jing Feng, and Mo Nan had already registered themselves as crowd favorites.
Yan Yu Si sighed: “With too few resources at hand, it’s difficult for Quinyang to attract major talents. And even if we do, training them up properly is easier said than done.”
“If Quinyang had the same resources, and funding, that the Wu Ji Sect has, then we would be able to develop much faster.” Yan Yu Si’s side seat was occupied by a strong, rather unpleasant looking, middle-aged man: “Bi Fan is indeed worthy of being trained properly. If Ling Xin Ya hadn’t taken him first, then I would have accepted him a disciple.”
This man was the head of the Quinyang Sect, Yu Qing Yang, and Yan Yu Si’s father.
Yan Yu Si had insisted that he witness the tournament in person, since she wanted him to see Bi Fan in action, otherwise he wouldn’t have come for it.
“Father, you must make sure that Bi Fan’s growth is not hindered by the politics of the Sect. Bi Fan is really capable of achieving something spectacular.” Yan Yu Si’s face exposed a shade of wonder.
Even though Yu Qing Yang had praised Bi Fan, he had only done so to soothe Yan Yu Si.
He was the head of the Quinyang Sect, and didn’t have any time for such matters, as he was already burdened with several other important matters.
“Oh? Is he really that good?” Yu Qing Yang started taking Bi Fan a little more seriously.
Yan Yu Si had very high standards, and it was a rare of her to compliment a fighter. In fact, she had never even complimented Jing Feng.
“Of course, Father. Bi Fan has only started training; he’s only been training for a year now. Moreover, his real strength is far beyond the ‘Enormous strength’ layer.”
“Far more than the ‘Enormous Strength’ layer, what makes you say that?” Yu Qing Yang was genuinely interested in knowing.
“Intuition. You must continue to watch if you wish to see for yourself. He hasn’t exposed his real strength thus far; in fact, he’s been taking it easy.” Yan Yu Si smiled.
Yu Qing Yang said: “Well, I’ll patiently wait for it then. You have a gift for spotting good talent.”
“He won’t let you down.” Yan Yu Si was confident.
The contest continued, and Bi Fan’s next opponent was another ‘enormous strength’ layer fighter.
This time, Bi Fan finished the fight even faster. He still hadn’t drawn his sword yet.
“Father, what do you say? They are both in the ‘Enormous strength’ layer, then how’s Bi Fan able to win so easily?… He is better with a sword, but still, he hasn’t even used it.” Yan Yu Si smiled again.
Yu Qing Yang nodded: “This boy, Bi Fan…. he is very skilled with the ‘Swimming Dragon’, and the ‘Babu Swimming Dragon’ combination. At that level of expertise, his opponent simply didn’t stand a chance against him.”
“Father, if you’re still not convinced, then you must continue to watch the contest.” Yan Yu Si was beginning to get a little anxious now.
Luo Sheng had run into Jing Feng in this round. And he was under the impression that he could use his weapon’s strength to overpower Jing Feng.
Luo Sheng was grossly overestimating his strength, and the power of his weapon, so much so, that he had started pressing the play from the very start. Meanwhile, Jing Feng wasn’t even fighting back.
“Jing Feng! Jing Feng, I love you…..” whenever Jing Feng took the stage, there was no stopping the girls.
“Luo Sheng! Luo Sheng! You’re useless!….” Luo Sheng was already out of luck, and the spectators were adding more insult to the injury.
Xiao Feng was sitting behind Yan Yu Si and Yu Qing Yang, and even though she was looking keenly at Jing Feng, her face seemed rather devoid of any feeling for him.
