Chapter 199: Arrogant Rascal

“That man is very scary,” said Ling Yichen softly.

Ling Chuxi nodded in agreement with Ling Yichen. In that young man’s eyes, there lay an indifference towards all things, but at the same time, there was a kind of concentration. It was the kind of concentration that only people who had an immense fervency for the martial arts path possessed.

“Chu Jianyi.” The baby-faced young man was silent for a moment before spitting out these words. Reporting his name was a sign of respect toward his opponent.

“Shao Nansong.” Shao Nansong also did the same.

“I will allow you three moves,” announced Chu Jianyi as he drew his sword without any fanciful moves. Just like himself, there was not the least bit of light upon the blade. With a closer look, one would see that it was actually a blunt sword without edges.

Chu Jianyi’s words were so ordinary and yet they made the atmosphere around the fighting ring light right up.

Cheh, how arrogant. To actually say such big words…

… A wave of muttered scoldings surged forth from the crowd.

“All right, sure. Thank you.” Although the same reserved smile still lingered on Shao Nansong’s face, a thread of ruthlessness could now be seen in his eyes. Obviously, he had been provoked into anger by Chu Jianyi’s sentence. Such a sentence was practically blatant humiliation to him, Wind Cloud Academy’s number one expert.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen exchanged glances after they saw that Chu Jianyi’s face still remained as calm as it was. They both knew that his words were not said with an intention to humiliate at all, nor were they uttered as a display of shameless boasting. Rather, Chu Jianyi had spoken those words because he was absolutely confident in his own abilities.

Shao Nansong had just barely finished speaking when his body had moved forward as swiftly as the wind and a dazzling and chilling light began to emit from the sword in his hand. So quick were his movements that his figure practically became an illusion.

“Martial Shadow Three Illusions!” gasped the crowd surrounding the ring as they called out the name of the move Shao Nansong was executing with a wave of praising sighs. Indeed, this was the Martial Shadow Three Illusions move which was only taught at the peak of Battle Qi training.
