273 Chapter 266: Special stage! 6 (1/2)
”What.. the heck just happened?” one of the audience said with a shocked expression, his mouth wide agape.
Pah!
”Ouch that hurts! This is really not a dream! Could it be.. are they staging the whole thing? This is too unbelievable!” cried another man beside him after he slapped himself in the face.
How in the holly-molly's name, did a cultivator three stages lower than their opponent, managed to make the latter a spinning top with just a simple back hand slap?

This is far too outlandish! We are no fools!
The Heavens may be blind, but we are not!
Hearing this, the other audience soon began to think that something was amiss and discussed it with each other as they became restless. Before long, they turned towards the Emcee and made their complaints as well as suspicions!
”Calm down everyone! I can assure you that everything is not staged here! In fact, we have just pulled out an information regarding the identity of this outstanding junior participant of us here tonight! Let me read it out loud for everyone!” the Emcee spoke out as the crowd pried open their ears.
”His name is Duan Li and a junior of the Jixue Knights Academy. Just last week, he went on an expedition with the academy along with the Subjugation Squads to eradicate an incoming monster stampede, en route to the Jiu Empire from the Blastwinter desert!” the Emcee continued.
”W-What? Monster Stampede? How come did we not know anything about this?” the crowd began to panic as they thought about their family and relatives that lived in villages and towns near the vicinity of the Blastwinter desert.
Typically speaking, a monster stampede would usually consists of thousands of monsters at one star and above, and their subjugation would take a total of one week at least.
Seemingly to understand their line of thoughts, the Emcee chuckled before he continued on. ”There is no need to worry people, the monster stampede had already been eradicated in just a single day!”
The crowd once more turned to each other and surprised expression was apparent on their face.
”Is this for real? That's the first time I have ever heard a monster stampede was subjugated in a single day!”
”Perhaps it was only a few hundreds this time around?”
The audience continued to discuss the topic fervently before the Emcee interjected.
”The monster stampede from last week was probably the largest that our empire had ever encountered thus far! They numbered a total of more than 50,000!!”
Hisssss!!
The audience sucked in cold breath when they heard that numbers!
Fifty thousand?!
”En! While most of the monsters were subjugated by the Subjugation Squads, our junior here, while still in the Pinnacle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, had managed to eliminate at least 7,000 of them by himself! Even His Majesty, our great Emperor Jiu Xian Ping was there and had personally witnessed it!” the Emcee said with excitement in his voice.
At first, he was also skeptical to trust this information, but when the acknowledgement came personally from the Empress Dowager herself, and that their Emperor himself was the witness, only a fool would still think that the information was falsified!
These lines of thoughts were also similar to the audience, and their previous expression changed from disbelief into excitement!
”A genius! Our Empire is finally blessed with a true genius!”
”I can see a golden age ushering to out Empire from this day onwards! Hahahahaha!”
Seeing that the crowd was now convinced, the Emcee sighed out in relief.
...
Down on the platform, everyone excluding Dong Jinghai and Wu Jin, each wore a surprised expression as they stared at Duan Li with mixed reaction when they heard all those.
”This fellow is that strong?” Ling Shin's pair of eyes flashed as his mind began to calculate.
If that is indeed the case, then Lu Bu is done for! I don't need to worry about him anymore!
”Heh! Hahahaha! Zhang Liao, you had fun before surprising me with your breathing technique eh? It's my turn!” he said as his lips curled into a sneer.
Eight Undulating Qi Technique!
Shaaa!!
Ling Shin's brawly figure slowly began to shrunk as his height was reduced from 2 meters to 1.85 meters!
”Your muscle density has become more compacted.. so your physical transformation is speed-based?” Zhang Liao said as he appeared unimpressed.
”Correct!” Ling Shin replied before continuing, ”Let me warn you though.. although this transformation is originally meant to be implemented with a set of skill arts, it's still a little bit overkill if it was used in physical martial combat like this.” he said with extreme confidence.
While the Eight Undulating Qi Technique was not meant to be showed on public outside of their empire, his partner Ruo Hen had already used it before, and they would be punished either way when they returned.
Therefore, since the cake had already been spilled, what is the use of standing on ceremony then? Thus he decided to activate the technique as well!
”Come then, do your best.” Zhang Liao said with his eyes looking indifferent.
Ling Shin gritted his teeth. ”You asked for it!”
Suuu!!
