Chapter 350: What Tier?

Translator: TYZEditor: TYZ/KLKL

Su Huaijun held a jade bamboo stick in her hand. The verdant bamboo stick seemed to be made of jasper. The few pieces of verdant and glistening leaves on it swayed lightly, looking as if they had just fallen off a bamboo tree.

Sanmu Su Family.

Ai Hui did not know much about the Sanmu Su Family. All he knew was that this family was a well-known family in Jadeite Forest in the past. Eventually, they left Jadeite Forest and stayed in the Avalon of Five Elements.

From the restraining fear Sha Wuyuan had for Su Huaijun previously, he could tell that Sanmu Su Family was rather powerful.

There were too many aristocratic families in the Avalon of Five Elements. Unless he personally knew members from a particular aristocratic family, like how he knew Duanmu Huanghun and Shi Xueman, he would definitely not know the social status of that family.

After spending three years with Su Qingye, Ai Hui knew his character very well. To Ai Hui, a person’s character mattered the most. As for a person’s family background, he did not really care.

Ai Hui had heard from Su Qingye that his aunt was very powerful.

He certainly did not expect he would face her one day.

Standing opposite him, Su Huaijun had a solemn look on her face. After watching Chu Zhaoyang’s previous performance, she did not dare to underestimate him.

”Mr Chu, your guidance will be appreciated,” Su Huaijun said with a deep voice.

Ai Hui brandished the Snow Cherry in his hand as his brain went to work. Su Huaijun and Fu family’s oldest daughter had seen the real Ai Hui in action before. To prevent them from finding out his true identity, he could not use the same sword moves that he’d used in the past.

He was somewhat glad that he had just read Chief’s sword encyclopedia and learnt a lot from it.

Ai Hui was slightly excited. He had not officially sorted out the insights he gained and most of them were still scattered and fragmentary. With such an excellent sparring partner now, it was an extremely rare chance for him to do it now!

Which move should he use?

”Give me a moment,” Ai Hui said subconsciously.

Su Huaijun was stunned. This was the first time she’d encountered such a situation. Did her opponent just ask her to wait in the middle of a competition?

All the onlookers went in an uproar.

”Ha, he dares to ask for a moment?”

”Don’t tell me he wants to use the toilet! Hahahaha, that’s a lousy excuse!”

”If you’re afraid, just admit defeat! Stop wasting everybody’s time!”

”Maybe he has some crafty plots!”

...

In the arena, Su Huaijun felt slightly embarrassed. Wasn’t it embarrassing to challenge someone like this? Since young, she had been through a lot of competitions and she had never been so embarrassed like this before.

Ai Hui, who had been in deep thought, suddenly had his eyes light up. He had thought of a good move to use. Then, he raised his head and told Su Huaijun, ”I’m ready.”

Ready...

Su Huaijun nodded her head with a blank look on her face, ”Mr Chu, your guidance will be appreciated.”

”Here I come,” Ai Hui boasted shamelessly. However, he did not move forward and stood at his original spot. Following which, he flicked the Snow Cherry in his hand.

The air around the pinkish tip of Snow Cherry suddenly became distorted. The sword tip looked as if it was emitting energy ripples. Suddenly, six palm-sized crescent moons shot out from the energy ripples.

[Six Moons]!

Ai Hui’s newly developed move.

Su Huaijun’s eyes shrunk as all her distracting thoughts disappeared.

The commotion from the onlookers had completely disappeared as well. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the six dancing sword gleams. Even though the sword gleams were only palm-sized, their razor-sharp aura was able to engulf the entire arena. They were fast and nimble, resembling six flying bats. They flew so fast through the air that one could only see their afterimages.

What kind of swordsmanship was this?

Before the onlookers could resolve their doubts, Su Huaijun had already sensed the danger that was approaching and she began to move.

A glint flashed across Su Huaijun’s eyes and she pointed her jade bamboo stick towards Ai Hui.

A burst of green light erupted from the jade bamboo stick and exploded in the air. The burst of green light transformed into a green-colored glowing net that suddenly appeared on top of Ai Hui.

The faint green glow from the net was in perpetual motion, dancing and flowing. The area it covered was extremely huge.

All the onlookers bolted upright. They did not expect Su Huaijun to start off with an ultimate move. [Inescapable Net] was one of Sanmu Su Family’s ultimate moves. The threads that made up the green net were as thin and fine as hairs, making the net look as if it would break any moment. In reality, they were impenetrable by swords or spears. No matter how hard one tried to escape from it, he would still be a trapped fly.

Chu Zhaoyang raised his head and looked at the glowing net that was floating down slowly. He looked as if he was dumbfounded at the sight of the glowing net, remaining motionless.

The slow-moving speed of the green glowing net was just an illusion.

Those who had sharp eyes had already noticed that a few strands of green glow from the net were already embedded in the ground.

Chu Zhaoyang was finished.

This thought flashed across everyone’s minds. Once [Inescapable Net] embedded its roots in the ground, no one could break from it.

The glowing net started to expand and become thicker. In the blink of an eye, the glowing net looked as if it was made up of thick and solid vines. Surprisingly, pieces of verdant bamboo leaves began to grow on the glowing net.

Chu Zhaoyang stared blankly at the sky above his head.

Disdain and disappointment appeared on the faces of the onlookers one by one. This competition had already ended. Chu Zhaoyang had admitted defeat.

Every bamboo leaf was like a single razor blade. When the bamboo leaves started to fall, a great danger descended upon Chu Zhaoyang. If this was a real fight, the trapped Chu Zhaoyang would be sliced to smithereens.

The countless bamboo leaves gave rise to countless killing intents.

A disappointed look appeared on Su Huaijun’s face as well. Previously, after she saw how Chu Zhaoyang defeated Gui Hu, she still thought that he was rather powerful. That was why she decided to challenge him. However, she did not expect him to stay motionless and fail to put up any resistance. A competition like this was far too boring.

Suddenly, Chu Zhaoyang’s murmurs rang across her ears. She was stunned.

”Which tier should I start from?”

”Forget it, I will start from the first tier. Save time and brainpower.”

Tier? What tier? Su Huaijun’s mind was filled with doubt. She widened her eyes and looked at the trapped Chi Zhaoyang. Could it be that… he had some countermoves?

Such a pity, it’s too late for any countermoves!

She felt pity for Chu Zhaoyang in silence. Once the [Inescapable Net] embedded its roots in the ground, anyone who was trapped inside the net had practically zero chance of breaking out of it.

Chu Zhaoyang continued to mumble to himself. He did not look at Su Huaijun and brandished his sword by himself.
