Chapter 154 – Yan Yu Si’s Jealousy
(Mustang: Hey guys, this the fifth Regular Chapter for this week.
Ps: Thanks for understanding, and my hand’s a lot better now, so I believe that I should be able to resume normal pace now.)
The lunch break was one hour long, and once everyone was done with their meal, they started discussing the tournament.
“The contest has been very exciting so far, Eastern Aristocracy’s Blue Dragon, Ba Gua’s Li Qian Xun and Rising Sun’s Gu Da Tong have all come up as dark horses for this tournament’s title. Of course, our Quinyang Sect also has one underdog in young Bi Fan.” Lin Qing Ya said with a smile.
“Senior sister, I think that young Bi Fan is the best amongst these guys.” A disciple stated.
This disciple was an outer disciple, same as Bi Fan, but had been a part of the Sect for longer than Bi Fan. Since Bi Fan was his junior in terms of the time that he had spent in the Sect, he would only refer to Bi Fan as ‘young’, like most others.
If Bi Fan were to enter the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, then these people would start addressing him as ‘Brother’, or ‘Senior’.
In this world, no matter which Sect a person belongs to, respect can only be earned by demonstrating strength.
“Quinyang Sect’s title hopes rest on Brother Bi Fan, so he obviously has to be the best in every group.” Jing Feng smiled.
Not even Jing Feng was capable of defeating Bi Fan, and Bi Fan was already considered the Sect’s foremost runner for the title.
Bi Fan could suddenly feel the pressure of responsibility on his shoulders; power always tends to bring a burden of responsibility with it.
Bi Fan suddenly sat up straight, and felt like he was a different person altogether now.
There was a time when he would have to suffer endless bullying, and he would have never even imagined that so many people would be expecting so much from him one day.
The lunch break ended and the contest resumed.
It was Jing Feng’s turn to play now, and he strode to his stage, ready to notch a quick victory.
Jing Feng was scheduled to fight in the second lot, and his opponent wasn’t strong enough to compete against him.
This set of sixty-eight, however, had many strong contenders in it. The strongest amongst this lot were Wu Ji Sect’s Wu Ji Xuan, Jing Feng, and Tian Shui’s Hong Yun Tian, but they weren’t assigned the same group.
All three of them finished in the top five in the last Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List, and even if two of them were assigned to the same group, then at least one would definitely have to face an early elimination, and that person would definitely have felt hard-done by the contest rules.
Fortunately that didn’t happen, and these showdowns were reserved for the later part of the contest.
Bi Fan prepared to watch the contest again, and started concentrating his attention on the fights.
Wu Ji Xuan was set to participate in the first wave, and Bi Fan really wanted to see him in action, since he was so highly rated by everyone.
Wu Ji Xuan’s tall build, angular face, and sharp eyes exuded an aura of domination.
“Wu Ji Xuan is regarded as one of the finest talents in this world, even outside the Jiu Yu City.” Yan Yu Si praised.
Both Bi Fan and Luo Xiong were quite jealous of Wu Ji Xuan all of a sudden, since Yan Yu Si held him in such high regards.
“Wu Ji Xuan, I have to beat you!” Bi Fan had already made up his mind now.
Wu Ji Xuan started to release his momentum, as he took to the stage, and his opponent was already gasping for air.
The man tried to open his mouth several times, and eventually succeeded in saying the words: “I give up.”
Then, he frantically stumbled down the contest stage.
Bi Fan really wanted to see Wu Ji Xuan in action, but his aspirations had been dashed until the next round.
Wu Ji Xuan’s face had been expressionless from the start to the end, and it would seem that it wasn’t unusual for his opponents to give up without even putting up a fight against him.
“Wu Ji Xuan! Wu Ji Xuan!….”
“Wu Ji Xuan!…. I love you….”
Wu Ji Xuan’s name was being chanted out quite loudly, since a lot of people had showed up to cheer for him.
In addition to this, Wu Ji Xuan also seemed quite popular with them women, and Jing Feng finally had some competition in that respect.
As Wu Ji Xuan descended down the stage, his eyes met Jing Feng’s, and their momentum started to rise.
As soon as this happened, the people who were standing around them scattered away, out of fear.
“Jing Feng, you were no match for me three years ago, and now, you’re even less of a competition.” Wu Ji Xuan was very calm, and it appeared as if was addressing someone else entirely.
“Yes, well, even if I’m not enough to match you, I’ll still do my best to beat you.” Jing Feng replied.
Jing Feng’s eyes were full of desire, since he really wished to fight against Wu Ji Xuan, even if he was likely to lose the battle.
Hong Yun Xian didn’t encounter a tough opponent either, and quickly finished his fight as well.
The Tian Shui Sect and the Quinyang Sect were on good terms, and Hong Yun Tian came over to Jing Feng for a chat.
Soon enough, the second round started, and Jing Feng strode on to the stage.
Jing Feng’s opponent was certainly having a run of bad luck, since he met an infuriated Jing Feng in the first round itself.
“Hegemon Pike – Rushing Thunder!” Jing Feng unleashed the thunderous waves.
His opponent was in no position to make a stand, and conceded the fight since his weapon went flying out of the ring in the first wave of attacks itself.
“Jing Feng! Jing Feng! You’re so handsome! … Jing Feng! I love you…..”
“Jing Feng, you’re awesome! Come on!….”
Jing Feng was being cheered by a lot of people as well, mostly women though. Jing Feng’s charm truly had no boundaries.
“Brother Jing Feng is so well received everywhere!” Bi Fan stated in envy.
Yan Yu Si commented in a cold tone: “Don’t envy him so much, you don’t think that you can grow into a handsome young man one day?”
Bi Fan scratched his forehead, puzzled, and couldn’t understand if he had offended Yan Yu Si in some manner.
He simply couldn’t understand what was going on inside the woman’s mind.
Luo Xiong was quite furious to see the manner in which Yan Yu Si had reacted to Bi Fan’s comment, and was even more jealous of Bi Fan now.
Even though Luo Xiong managed to exercise his practiced patience again, he simply couldn’t stop his face from turning red.
Yan Yu Si suddenly realized that she had neglected her manners, and was quite embarrassed. The blush on her face made her look even more adorable and beautiful.
The male disciples who were sitting around her simply couldn’t help but gape in awe, and even Luo Xiao Tian and Ling Xin Ya started eye balling the two of them now.
Bi Fan was so taken by her comment that he completely forgot about the tournament.
It was while before Bi Fan snapped out of it, and he quickly turned his attention to the tournament.
At this point, his heart was beating so fast, that it was quite hard for him to concentrate on the tournament’s fights.
Yan Yu Si was accustomed to being in the limelight, but had never felt the pressure of it until now.
It took a while for Bi Fan to calm down, and in the meanwhile, Jing Feng had already returned to the seating area.
“Brother Jing Feng, you’re really powerful! When will I be able to reach your strength?” An outer disciple named Du Fan asked in an almost worship-like manner.
Du Fan is considered to be an excellent young prospect in the Quinyang Sect, and was allowed to accompany the delegation to gain some experience from the contest.
“Just keep practicing hard, and one day, you’ll get there.” Jing Feng smiled.
The Quinyang Sect was somewhat low on man-power, and wasn’t able to compete with the Wu Ji Sect in that respect. In fact, even the Ba Gua Sect was already ahead of the Quinyang Sect in that matter.
When it came to ‘transformation’ layer martial artists, the Ba Gua Sect had a higher number inside the ranks than the Quinyang Sect did.
For this reason, the Quinyang Sect had started taking their young generation very seriously, and had allowed a few talented youngsters like Du Fan to travel along with the participants.
As the contest continued, many more strong fighters emerged from various different Sects, as the contest continued to excite the crowd.
The last tournament’s top ten had all won their fights with ease, and seemed ready to challenge for the title again.
Ba Gua Sect’s Chen Kang, Rising Sun Sect’s Tang Tian Feng, City Sect’s Tan Guang Cheng, Tian Shui Sect’s Ma De Biao, and Wu Ji Sect’s Xuan Yuan Feng were relatively unknown names until now, but their strong performances demonstrated the prominence of their challenge.
These people were quite strong, and could be considered at par with the likes of Mo Nan, and were being expected to make a strong challenge for the top ten ranks.
The contest was definitely going to get very intense in the rounds that lay ahead, and people like Mo Nan, Bi Fan, Jing Feng and Blue Dragon seemed quite excited but the thought of it.
Winning and losing is important; but growing and gaining experience, is even more so.
The contest came to a close for the day, and everyone was convinced that the next day was going to be even more exciting.
