Chapter 1169 – Sorry, I can’t lose.
An Zheng climbed down from Du Shoushou’s back and barely stood up. He took a deep breath so he wouldn’t look so weak. However, his upright body was swaying and he was still coughing. His sickly appearance made people’s heart ache.
Eldest Senior Brother An Caichen was not able to quickly come over, so he pulled on An Zheng’s clothes and said, “Don’t go.”
An Zheng shook his head.
Qin Zhi said with a face of helplessness, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone crazier than me.”
The only female disciple of Fang Tanzhi, Zhuang Shuize stood against the doorpost and said in a neutral tone: “Let him go, I do not believe that, even if Mister is not around, he would let our junior brother die on this day of the competition.”
Answer Lie laughed, and patted Du Shoushou’s shoulders: “You go too, don’t embarrass the Eye Condensation Pavilion.”
Du Shoushou nodded and walked towards the area he was allocated. Halfway there, he turned his head around, and looked at An Zheng with concern. An Zheng nodded slightly and laughed. His face was pale white and his eyes were bright.
He walked slowly, step by step. Each step felt like an immense weight to him. His feet were almost touching the ground, which meant he couldn’t lift them at all.
An instructor in charge of maintaining order glanced at An Zheng and asked with a slightly worried tone: “Can you do it? “Don’t force yourself.”
An Zheng smiled, and gave his answer.
The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion. Some were praising and others were mocking him. There were those who called An Zheng a real man, even those who called him an idiot. Some said that An Zheng was simply a role model for the disciples, while others said that An Zheng was simply a madman.
However, no matter how different what others said was, or how many people opposed each other, there was one thing that everyone agreed on, and that was that no matter how strong and stubborn An Zheng looked … He too had been eliminated today.
The instructor extended his hand to support An Zheng, but An Zheng paused to indicate his rejection, took a deep breath, and continued to walk forward step by step.
In the twelve regions, An Zheng was allocated to the sixth region, which was not too far away. By the time he walked over, all of the disciples that had participated in the primary selection had already finished. The requirements to participate in the primary selection wasn’t very strict. All the third rank disciples could participate. The twelve instructors were to be selected from the three hundred or so Rank 3 disciples to participate in the second selection.
Out of the 12 arenas, 120 were people. The remaining 10 were promoted to level two disciples.
An Zheng walked very slowly, and there were many people standing on both sides of the aisle looking at him.
“Idiot, why are you still participating?”
“Isn’t it because you want to come out? If you want me to say it, you’re just putting on an act.” “Either to seek fame and make the instructor and the dean remember him, or to put on an act.”
There were even people who clapped towards An Zheng and gave him a thumbs up, “An Zheng, do your best!”
“Don’t be in sucurry. Go slowly. Everyone is waiting for you!”
“Don’t give up, but don’t force yourself either.”
An Zheng ignored the people who mocked him and smiled back at the people who encouraged him.
Finally arriving at the center of the contest ground, he cupped his fists towards the instructor seated opposite him.
That instructor was Qu Xiang Wen.
There were always many things that could not be avoided in life, and the things that An Zheng could not avoid seemed to be a little more than the others. Qu Xiang He waerson with a gentle appearance. There was not a single trace of maliciousness in his eyes, only gentleness.
“Can you still persevere like this?”
“Yes, sir.”
“That’s good. As one of today’s decisions, I must respect the will of every single disciple. If you think you can, then I’ll start the test. ”
An Zheng nodded his head: “Sir, please set the question.”
At this time, another instructor came over and whispered into Qu Xiang Qing’s ears, “The Vice Principal said that An Zheng’s body is unwell, and it’s best if he doesn’t continue to participate.”
Qu Xiang Wen replied, “Oh, alright then. I’ll just try my best to make it harder.”
The instructor nodded his head and quickly left.
“The first selection is simple. As long as you put your hand on that Nine Star Arena over there, you will be able to participate with a 5-star talent and have a cultivation base at the lesser Sage realm.”
This was indeed fair, he did not set a question, and even had a kind smile, so much that even An Zheng did not feel threatened at all. But An Zheng was a bit worried, the Cultivation Power in his body could not be gathered here, without the Cultivation Power, how could he light up the Nine Star Platform? And how could he possibly show what grade he was at?
But An Zheng was not willing to give up, he slowly walked towards the Nine Star Platform and pressed his hand on it.
On the other side of the viewing platform, the returning instructor whispered into Tang Xian’s ears and said: “There shouldn’t be any problems, An Zheng doesn’t have the slightest bit of Cultivation Power, and definitely won’t be able to light up the Nine Star Terrace.”
Tang Xianzi nodded. “That’s good.”
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of exclamations from the other side of the sixth match.
“Nine Stars!”
“Nine Stars!”
An Zheng had just placed his hand on the Nine Star Arena, and nine stars immediately lit up, shining resplendently. But at this moment, An Zheng’s expression became even more serious... Because it wasn’t lit by him at all. Following which, a few glowing words appeared on the other side of the Nine Star Platform … Seventh level of the lesser sage realm.
Seventh level of the lesser sage realm?
This was simply not An Zheng’s realm!
Qu Xiang Wen looked at the viewing platform apologetically, and then announced seemingly helplessly, “An Zheng can enter the second round.”
An Zheng was the last person to participate in the sixth round of preliminaries, so once he passed, he would have to face off against the other disciples who had passed the preliminaries one on one. With his current condition, he would definitely die if he fought.
Qu Xiang Wen looked at An Zheng and said: “Are you alright? “If you feel that you can’t, you can go back now.”
Before An Zheng could speak, a level 3 disciple who had passed the first round walked over and cupped his fists towards An Zheng: “Student Cheng Dahai from the Academy, willing to seek guidance from Senior Brother An Zheng.”
“Shh!”
“Shameless!”
Everyone knows that An Zheng could not be beaten because of his injuries. He was the first one to challenge An Zheng, and that is f * cking shameless.
“That’s right, how can a dignified cultivator be so shameless?”
“He is truly shameless to the extreme. Fuck, when I see this person in the future, I will definitely beat him up.”
As soon as Cheng Dahai finished speaking, the surrounding disciples burst out in boos. Even those people who were unconvinced with An Zheng felt that this Cheng Hai was being too excessive. This was because there waule that stated that as long as a disciple passed the first selection, they couldn’t refuse an opponent’s challenge during the second selection. If he were to refuse, it would be considered as giving up.
“An Zheng, stop hitting me!”
“An Zheng, everyone knows that you are a man, stop fighting, you have only waited two months.”
“A cultivator’s life is so long, can’t you wait for two months?”
An Zheng cupped his fists and bowed, “Thank you everyone. Two months is very short, but I... I really can’t wait. ”
He stood up straight and cupped his fist towards Cheng Dahai: “Please.”
Cheng Dahai was not Qu Xiang Wen’s disciple, and this change of events also caused Qu Xiang Wen to be shocked. While everyone was cursing and ridiculing Cheng Dahai, he was rather happy. This idiot dared to challenge An Zheng with such a big mouth, so he didn’t have to rush to expose his disciple. At this time, if An Zheng was willing to take action, his injuries would definitely worsen.
Cheng Dahai walked in front of An Zheng, cupped his fist and bent down, and said with a low voice while bowing: “Junior Brother An Zheng, I am truly sorry, I should not have challenged you to a fight. Just now, I heard a few people whispering that they wanted to take advantage of this time’s selection to kill you. If it was their turn to challenge you, they would definitely kill you when you were injured. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I just need to defeat you and make you retreat. You can also be safer. I’ll take the blame for this. ”
An Zheng was startled for a moment, and cupped his fists: “Thank you Senior Brother, but... I won’t give up. ”
Cheng Dahai still wanted to say something, but Qu Xiang Wen had already said, “Since both sides have no objections, and An Zheng has already accepted the challenge, let’s begin. “According to the rules, the outcome will be determined by the outcome, and there will be no difference between life and death.”
Cheng Dahai sighed, shouted his offense, and then punched towards An Zheng’s chest. He did not use the Cultivation Power, his punches were very fast, but his strength was not that great either. According to his judgement, even if this fist was too ordinary, An Zheng still wouldn’t be able to dodge it.
But An Zheng avoided it.
Just as the fist was about to land on An Zheng’s body, An Zheng struggled to take half a step to the side, barely dodging the fist. Cheng Dahai was stunned for a moment, then bitterly laughed and said why, but An Zheng only slightly shook his head.
Cheng Dahai started to exert his strength, one fist was faster than the other, but he was still unwilling to use the Cultivation Power. He only wanted to beat An Zheng down and announce his defeat. His movements were very fast, likorrential storm. And An Zheng’s slightly skinny body was like a small boat on a river in a storm. No matter how big the wind and waves were, he just floated there and refused to sink.
Cheng Dahai already could not remember how many punches he had thrown, as long as he could hit An Zheng, he would definitely be able to defeat him. An Zheng looked like he was about to fall anytime, but he was always able to dodge at the most dangerous moment.
It was not because An Zheng could still fight, but because of An Zheng’s prediction!
Every time he threw a punch, An Zheng would make the most accurate judgement and react accordingly. That was an experience that he gained from countless battles. If it was anyone else, An Zheng wouldn’t know how many times he had been hit, given his current condition.
“Why?”
Cheng Dahai took a step back and looked into An Zheng’s eyes, “Why?”
An Zheng replied blandly: “I don’t have enough time, and I don’t have enough opportunities. I don’t dare to waste even a second, and I don’t dare to waste even a single second.”
Cheng Dahai said, “I won’t let you win. Although I have never met you before, I still can’t get used to those people’s nastiness. I am going to use my power, and use the Cultivation Power to push you back. ”
An Zheng: “I still won’t give up.”
Cheng Dahai shook his head, took a deep breath, and then pressed down with both hands.
His strength was already at the peak of the sixth level of the young sage realm and with his current Cultivation Power, defeating An Zheng, who didn’t have a single strand of Cultivation Power, was as easy as flipping his palm. If the Cultivation Power were to land, An Zheng would definitely be suppressed and would not be able to move.
But An Zheng did not fall down.
As the overwhelming power descended, it was as though it had suddenly lost its target. An Zheng was clearly standing there, but he had completely assimilated with Cheng Dahai’s Cultivation Power. The same power did not receive the slightest damage! An Zheng had becomart of Cheng Dahai’s power, and even in the midst of this violent storm, he remained unmoving.
“How …” How is that possible? ”
In the instant that Cheng Dahai was stunned, he saw An Zheng stagger as he raised his hand, and a huge black heavy ruler instantly appeared in his hand. An Zheng couldn’t help the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler, he didn’t even think of helping his. The moment the Black Ruler fell, An Zheng borrowed the power of the Black Ruler’s fall to throw himself out.
His body was likowerless leaf, but very fast. He floated in front of Cheng Dahai and placed his finger on Cheng Dahai’s neck.
Everyone could see that if An Zheng used any of his strength, Cheng Da Hai would definitely die.
However, An Zheng could not release his power. However, Cheng Dahai could clearly feel that An Zheng’s finger was pressing against his neck, clearly because he needed his help to stand firmly.
An Zheng shook his hand, forcefully stopped himself before retracting his hand and clasping his fist.
“Thank you, senior brother …” I’m sorry, I can’t lose. ”
