Chapter 151 – The Yin Yang Shield
On the adjacent stage, Hong Yun Tian was having it easy, since she was only confronted with an ‘enormous strength’ layer fighter.
Hong Yun Tian resolved her fight very quickly; in fact, she didn’t use any sophisticated martial arts skills in the process.
The other ‘transformation’ layer martial artists were in a similar boat, and were able to end their fights very early since they too were faced with relatively weaker opponents.
Bi Fan was only able to learn a very little from these displays, since the fights didn’t last very long.
Nevertheless, Bi Fan kept absorbing whatever he could see, and would try to research these skills in detail later on.
… …
Ji Ying Lan was attacking with even more urgency now, and his intense sword-play was causing a lot of trouble for his opponent.
“Tai Chi Sword – The Yin Yang Shield!”
Cao Jia Le was better prepared this time, and as Ji Ying Lan sought to shift gears once again, he too cast out the second form of the Tai Chi Sword.
A black and white colored gaseous wall emerged in front of Cao Jia Le, and started to take a circular shape.
Ji Ying Lan’s attacks fell on this Yin Yang shaped wall, and were cancelled out.
Even though the gaseous wall appeared to be crumbling, it was holding tough, and Ji Ying Lan wasn’t able to get past its defense.
“The Yin Yang Shield is a very strong variant of the Tai Chi Sword. If you encounter a Wu Ji Sect disciple, then you must make sure that they don’t get a chance to employ this move.” Ling Xin Ya advised.
As the contest progressed, Ling Xin Ya was constantly passing tips to all the Quinyang disciples, which would allow them to counter some of the most commonly used Wu Ji Sect skills.
Ji Ying Lan was a little surprised to see that all his moves had been cancelled out by the Yin Yang Shield.
Ji Ying Lan immediately stopped using his sword-play moves, since they were consuming too much energy.
Ji Ying Lan moved closer, and began attacking with his fists. He was constantly trying to move around in circle, and would start using his sword in between his fist attacks, without any notice.
Cao Jia Le was very careful of Ji Ying Lan’s sword-play, and would resort to using the Yin Yang Shield every time he was faced with Ji Ying Lan’s sword.
Cao Jia Le had been bleeding from multiple wounds for a long time now, and was in a very disadvantaged position at this point.
Ji Ying Lan was playing his game very smartly, and was forcing Cao Jia Le to consume his energy, by making him cast out the Yin Yang Shield over and over again.
The Yin Yang Shield is one of the favorite moves of every Wu Ji Sect disciple, and they tend to use the skill to deplete the energy of their opponent. Once their opponent is tired, they can easily register a win.
This time, however, Cao Jia Le was having a torrid time, since he had sustained injuries early in the battle, and was bleeding profusely. By now, he had lost a lot of blood, and had been visibly weakened by the blood loss.
Cao Jia Le decided to change his tactics and switched his gear to offensive, and charged after Ji Ying Lan. Ji Ying Lan, however, didn’t fight back at this point, and continued to dodge the attacks of his bleeding opponent.
Eventually, Cao Jia Le was unable to carry on due to the blood loss, and admitted his defeat; a very wise decision, considering the circumstances.
“Brother Ji Ying Lan, good job!” many of the Quinyang disciples cheered out.
Bi Fan revealed a sly smile, since he had got a good look at a brilliant defensive skill, but wasn’t sure if he’d be able to cast it properly, at this moment.
‘The Immortal Finger’ was his main attack, but he hadn’t organized it with any major defensive technique yet. If he managed to integrate ‘The Immortal Finger’ with the ‘Yin Yang Shield’, then the defensive capabilities of the move were bound to get better, and he might even be able to use it for offensive purposes.
But for now, Bi Fan could only imagine the look on the faces of the Wu Ji Sect disciple if he cast out their favorite skill, in an improved manner.
Now, it was time for Blue Dragon to take the stage, and Bi Fan’s heart observed a moment of silence for his opponent.
Blue Dragon’s energy had already crossed into the ‘transformation’ layer, which when coupled with his physical strength, was enough to make him stronger than the likes of Jing Feng.
Encountering Blue Dragon was bad omen for anyone, and the fight was only going to end one way.
Blue Dragon’s opponent was from a small and unknown Sect, and had already managed to reach the peak of the ‘Enormous strength’ layer. Such strength, in the pretext was of his background, was a commendable feat in its own right.
The man hadn’t even flexed his muscles yet, and Blue Dragon had already pinned him down to one corner of the stage.
“Wow, since when did Brother Blue Dragon become that strong?! It seems that I’ll have to watch out for him as well, he isn’t going to be easy to win against.” Jing Feng was extremely surprised.
Ling Xin Ya was equally surprised: “Since when did the eastern aristocracy procure such a young and talented youngster, and why haven’t I heard about him yet?”
“He is called the Blue Dragon. He’s a friend of Bi Fan’s and mine, but the last time I saw him, he wasn’t this strong. However, sometime ago, he was training with Bi Fan in the Devil’s Abyss, and he managed to enhance his strength very quickly over there. Brother Bi Fan will probably have a very clear idea about his ability, ah.” Jing Feng explained.
Bi Fan was watching the tournament, and didn’t feel like giving a detailed account of Blue Dragon to everyone.
“The last time I met him, he was only at the peak of the ‘Enormous strength’ layer, but I don’t know what happened with him in these last few months since then.” Bi Fan quickly added, and the resumed watching the contest.
Jing Feng smiled: “Brother Bi Fan, these contests aren’t the best ones, then why are you watching them so seriously? The best ones will be happening over the rest of the month, you know….”
“Some of these people are likely to end up as opponents, so naturally I want to get a feel of their style.” Bi Fan continued to watch the fights.
“Well, that’s one way of looking at it.” Jing Feng smiled.
Blue Dragon won his fight pretty quickly. His cold and dominant display won the hearts of many spectators, and he received a lot of cheers as stepped off the stage.
But when Blue Dragon looked over at his family, the eastern aristocracy, no one seemed to be celebrating his victory.
There were several ‘transformation’ layer fighters in this lot, and most had finished their fights quite quickly as well. The others, who weren’t as strong, were quite excited with the displays of their counterparts, and were fighting as hard as they could, and were trying to put up some dazzling displays.
Bi Fan’s efforts were being rewarded very well, and his eyes were glued to the contest stages, as he continued to watch the contests with an intoxicated look on his face.
Soon, all the contests had ended, and it was finally time for Mo Nan and Bi Fan to depart for their sets.
“Brother Mo Nan, Brother Bi Fan, you need to propel the Quinyang Sect to new heights!” Jing Feng tried to boost their confidence.
Mo Nan and Bi Fan nodded and gravely replied, in unison: “Victory!”
Yan Yu Si was quite hesitant, and ultimately kept her mouth shut, but her eyes were filled with concern for Bi Fan’s safety.
Luo Xiong had been keeping an eye of Yan Yu Si, and his heart was furious with envy upon seeing the manner in which Yan Yu Si was looking at Bi Fan.
However, Lou Xiong didn’t reveal his anger, and managed to conceal it quite well.
Ling Xin Ya was convinced of Bi Fan’s victory, and didn’t feel the need to give him any further instructions.
Bi Fan and Mo Nan clenched their fists, and their body language was reeking of confidence. They left the Quinyang Sect’s area together, and walked out towards the reporting point, shoulder to shoulder.
As Bi Fan reached closer to Stage three, his designated contest stage, he finally got a look at his three opponents.
Out of the three men who in the same group as him, one man belonged to the Wu Ji Sect. On top of that, he was quite strong as well, and had already reached the mid-point of the ‘transformation’ layer. His name is Xuan Liu Ge.
The other two were quite average in strength, and were only inside the ‘Enormous strength’ layer.
Bi Fan wasn’t supposed to fight Xuan Liu Ge in the first round, but was quite likely to face him in the second one.
Although they hadn’t yet embarked on the stage yet, the audience could sense that they were about to witness another sparkling contest later, since they knew that the two men were from rivalling sects.
“Boy, you’re having a bad day, because you’ve met me today, and I’m going to thrash you, up and down, that stage later on.” Xuan Liu Ge stated in a cold manner.
Bi Fan’s reply was quite dull sounding: “Why do the Wu Ji Sect guys always brag so much? Didn’t you see what Brother Ji Ying Lan did to your friend, what makes you …..”
“Well, Cao Jia Le was quite careless. If he had payed more attention during the fight, then he’d have won. No Quinyang Sect disciple can ever beat a Wu Ji Sect disciple.” Xuan Liu Ge raised his head high.
“Well, only time will tell.” Bi Fan sneered.
Xuan Liu Ge turned away: “Boy, I don’t like the way you talk, and I really hope that you make it to the next fight.”
“I’ll be there; but don’t you go around losing the first round, alright.” Bi Fan wasn’t afraid of Xuan Liu Ge, and on the contrary, he wanted to irritate him, since he wanted the guy to fight as fiercely as possible.
Xuan Liu Ge was supposed to fight first, while Bi Fan and his opponent were supposed to wait for their turn.
Now that he was standing very close to the stage, Bi Fan would be able to view even the most minute of movements very clearly, so naturally, he was ready to immerse himself in watching the fights that were about to start.
