Chapter 154 – Yan Yu Si’s Jealousy (1/2)
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.
