Chapter 245: Peak Duel under Full Attention (I)
Translator: Flying Lines
Located in the eastern part of Mist City, the Arena covered an area of hundreds hectares and accommodated tens of thousands of people.
It was still early but the Arena was already crowded with people and the noise was rising to the sky, making a popular hot scene.
They were all here for the confrontation to be staged today. One party was Lin Xun, who was qualified to take part in the Province Test, and the other was Huang Jianchen, from the aristocratic family in the Forbidden City.
Most importantly, the Young Sword King Shie Yutang had personally arranged it.
These days, the news about this fight had already been boiling in the whole Mist City; therefore, it showed such a hot scene in today’s Arena.
There were two kinds of seats in the Arena. One was the ordinary seats that were distributed around the Arena. The other was the boxes which was specially set for dignitaries.
At this time, in one of the boxes, Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and other high-ranking childe were already seated.
Through the window in front of the box, they could have a good view of the central platform of the Arena.
“Have you heard that Miss Liu Qingyan is here too? I want to know how a duel of Lin Xun can attract Miss Liu as well.”
Yuan Shu muttered.
“I bet you won’t envy him when he is defeated under the eyes of tens of thousands of people.”
Qi Yunxiao smiled leisurely.
“Young Sword King is very popular indeed. A duel arranged by him attracts all the big shots in Mist City. I’ve come to know that maybe in any random box in the Arena today, there can be powerful men who can quake Mist City with a single action!”
Some people sighed.
“Yes, I noticed them too. I am curious about how Lin Xun’s tragic defeat would make them feel?”
“I don’t know what the big names will think. But I do know that once Lin Xun loses this time, he is doomed to shatter his reputation and will hardly be able to raise his head proudly.”
Wen Mingxiu frowned and felt a little disgusted when they talked so excitedly about the scene of Lin Xun’s tragic defeat.
Defeated by Lin Xun but hoping others could defeat him in turn so that they could watch Lin’s shame: what was the difference between them and clowns?
In another box, Liu Qingyan sat quietly in front of the window, from which she could see all the scenes outside but they couldn’t be seen from outside.
At this time, Liu Qingyan, looking at the faces full of expectations in the Arena and listening to their exciting discussions about Lin Xun and Huang Jianchen, had some lingering depression in her heart.
“Miss, just watch the hustle and bustle and don’t think too much.”
Granny Wind advised from the side.
“I just hope that Lin Xun won’t lose, otherwise, I would feel guilty...”
Liu Qingyan murmured.
“Lin Xun not losing? Is that possible?”
Granny Wind muttered to herself because she did not think that cunning Lin Xun would be Huang Jianchen’s opponent.
Such comments took place in every corner of the Arena. Meanwhile, in those boxes, big shots were coming in succession.
Among them, there were not only the powerful figures in the major forces, but also the famous practitioners such as Wei Lingzhen, the president of Mist College, and Du Dongtuo, the leader of Ziling Army.
Even Mu Wansu, the new director of Keystone Business; Yao Tuohai, who could match the governor of the city Liu Wujun, and Chu Feng, the manager of Commune of Spiritual Tattooists were all here.
Of course, the Young Sword King Shie Yutang and the aristocratic young persons in the Forbidden City would certainly not miss this feast arranged by them.
Over time, there were more and more figures in the Arena, and the atmosphere was increasingly lively. With a look from above, there were black dots everywhere.
The people of Ziyao Empire had a martial soul so they had a natural enthusiasm for fighting.
This upcoming battle had so much to look forward to that it was an unprecedented event for the whole Mist City.
Although the battle had not started yet, the field had been filled with an atmosphere of fanaticism.
Rumble!
After a tremendous sound of drums, this duel began and the atmosphere in the field reached an unprecedented heat at this moment, like a seething caldron.
In front of countless eyes, a brilliant screen of spiritual tattoos was raised on the central platform of the Arena.
It was a spiritual tattoo formation, used to keep the aftermath of the fighting from causing harm to the audience in the surrounding stands.
Very soon, Lin Xun’s handsome figure appeared on the stage and immediately attracted the attention of everyone.
“This guy is Lin Xun? It seems that he is only over ten years old. I heard that he not only has the qualifications to take part in the Province Test but also has a very strong fighting ability. He belongs to the best among his peers.”
“That’s Lin Xun! I wonder how he offended Huang Jianchen, a childe from an aristocratic family. It’s rare for Shie Yutang to come out personally to deliver the battle challenge.”
“I’m afraid Lin Xun will suffer in this battle.”
“Yes. Even if Lin Xun is strong, how can he compare to Huang Jianchen, a descendant of an aristocratic family!”
There were a lot of talks and buzz. Most of them did not think highly of Lin Xun. They were eager to see Lin Xun’s tragic defeat and shame, especially Qi Yunxiao and Yuan Shu.
“This time, he’s over!”
In one of the boxes, all those from the aristocratic families in Forbidden City laughed with delight. At first, Lin Xun had destroyed Huang Jianxiong’s cultivation in front of them, which made them feel ashamed. Now, they could use Huang Jianchen’s power to vent their anger.
Only Shie Yutang was expressionless. He was not interested in the fight because he already knew that Lin Xun could not win.
For him, dealing with Lin Xun just needed to lift his finger. There was nothing to be happy about.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke out in the field.
“What? This is Huang Jianchen? It’s impossible. Why does a descendent of an aristocratic family like him look so ordinary and has no demeanor of a proud genius? It’s so disappointing!!”
“I imagined that Huang Jianchen should have superhuman powers. Who would have thought that he is so ordinary! Is he really a great character?”
“You cannot always judge a book by its cover. What’s wrong with being ordinary? It has long been proven how strong he is since Young Sword King arranged this confrontation personally.”
On the stage, Huang Jianchen was dressed in black clothes. His whole person had nothing to stand out from just by standing there. He was ordinary, and his demeanor was even slightly inferior to that of the Lin Xun.
But when he appeared, some people with keen eyes suddenly felt awe-inspired. From Huang Jianchen’s silent and mountain-like temperament, they felt something unusual.
The less conspicuous the master looked, the more terrible he was!
“It is him.”
In the box, Liu Qingyan stared at the stage nervously.
“This guy can’t be underestimated.”
“He’s worthy of being a descendent of an aristocratic family. Huang Jianchen is quiet as a mountain, but he is actually powerful. Who dares to underestimate him is bound to suffer a great loss.”
“Yes, this battle may be promising.”
“There are many outstanding top figures in the Human-Gang Spirit Realm. Huang Jianchen is undoubtedly the most unique one among them. Perhaps his ordinariness makes him impressive.”
In other boxes, some big shots had noticed something and made different comments, but the meaning was amazingly similar: they were very optimistic about Huang Jianchen.
At this moment, Lin Xun was also looking at Huang Jianchen. To tell the truth, when he saw the opponent’s ordinary appearance and temperament, he couldn’t help but get surprised.
In a moment, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. He felt an unspeakable dangerous aura from Huang as if under his ordinary and incomparable appearance, there was a lethal force hidden.
Huang Jianchen raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xun as well. His eyes were flat and indifferent. The whole person was as emotionless as a pool of stagnant water.
Only when the duel drum sounded, in an instant, from the eyes of calm Huang Jianchen, suddenly burst out fierce rays like electricity.
Almost at the same time, his thin body released strands of bloody killing intent.
In a trance, the audience only felt that Huang Jianchen had become another person. His killing intent was like a tide, and he was like a murderous god, who had just come out of a sea of corpses!
The scene suddenly became silent. Everyone opened their eyes widely and looked shocked. They realized that this seemingly insignificant fellow could become so terrible once he was ready to fight.
That kind of killing intent was honed out of countless bloody wars. It was hard to imagine how many lives were ended in the hands of Huang Jianchen.
“Awesome!”
“Who could imagine that a teenager of Human-Gang spirit realm should possess so imposing an aura?”
“This time, Lin Xun is doomed!”
Many people exclaimed.
Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and other people from aristocratic families in Forbidden City, had been extremely excited and amazed by Huang Jianchen’s performance.
But Chu Feng, Liu Qingyan and Mu Wansu were upset. Huang Jianchen was so powerful, and Lin Xun really met a tough opponent this time.
By contrast, Lin Xun appeared somewhat ordinary at the moment.
After the sound of battle drums, he still looked innocuous like a light cloud. There were only power fluctuations around him.
No one knew that in Lin Xun’s body, the Pond of Spiritual Power “Windstorm Millstone” was already fully functioning. Pure and unparalleled spiritual gang power surged like a vast ocean, flooding with an illusory and mysterious luster like azure.
Smacking!
Before the sound of drums faded, Huang Jianchen, who had been standing still, suddenly cracked a sixteen meters long whip. Without any nonsense, he launched a bold attack!
