Chapter 67：Wei Yuan VS Xu Miao (1/2)
Chapter 67 – Wei Yuan VS Xu Miao
After Qing Zhong's failure, many others tried to fight against inner disciples from both sects in earnest.
The duels were peaceful and friendly. After 300 fights, no one died since all inner disciples held back. Yet, nobody could impress the elders or landed an attack on one of these 20 elites.
Hours went by. Soon, most new disciples got their turn. Only a few top scorers hadn't joined in the fun yet.
Soon, Wei Yuan made her appearance. This blond girl had a pleasant smile that charmed all spectators, but most young men couldn't help but glare at Xu Miao in envy and hatred. None of them forgot the infamous trashy young master who soiled their goddess.
”Can I challenge non-inner disciple? I wish to challenge my future husband.”
The crowd murmured in shock. Even the elders looked at each other, confused by Wei Yuan's request. Most of them turned to Wei Huang, who might know something.
But Wei Yuan didn't want the commotion to escalate. She elaborated, ”When we were in the third trial, we didn't get a chance to test each other's strength before we… err… fell in love and consummated. I wish to learn about my prospect's skills and talent with my full power, so I need elders to watch over us.”
Many elders from the mountain goose sect nodded. Since Wei Yuan might want to forfeit her right to challenge their inner disciples, having her fight the infamous young master might be a good idea.
Jia Shan approved, ”I see no problem with that. Xiuying, are you fine with that?”
Xu Xiuying rolled her eyes, ”Go ahead. Don't kill each other.”
With the two masters' permission, Xu Miao had no choice but to jump onto the stage and faced his unofficial fiancé. He also didn't forget to take Killer Queen with him, just in case, this oni girl might try something stupid.
”Xu Miao greets wifey! So, are we here to discuss our future wedding or what?”
Xu Miao acted nonchalant to hide his anxiety. He hated revealing his strength to the crowd, especially in front of Xie Tian and other lurking local villains.
Wei Yuan grinned. She donned herself in her new heavenly treasure, the dragon scale robe.
During the break, Wei Huang secretly empowered the robe with his essence, activating 80% of the robe's functions. Now, it could block 30-40% of magic attacks, and it was invulnerable to physical attacks.
With such OP treasure, Wei Yuan wanted to bully Xu Miao and force him to join her family obediently.
”Hubby, I want to make a bet.”
”What bet?”
”If I win, join the Wei family! If you win, I'll give you an earth-grade treasure.”
”That's not something I can decide. I belong to the Xu Clan, so I can't just simply change my surname without my mother's permission!”
Although Wei Yuan's proposal was attractive, Xu Miao had a change of heart. Since he had a bit of immunity against mind attacks, Xu Xiuying's threat wouldn't be as scary as before.
Secondly, now, the Wei Clan and Xie Tian had become sworn enemies. It would be unwise to join that side since he might have to fight Xie Tian in the open. Xu Miao didn't plan to fight Xie Tian at the moment when he was weaker than the protagonist.
”Are you sure? I'll add my wager. I'll join your sect instead of the mountain goose sect if you win. How about that?”
Instead of talking to Xu Miao, Wei Yuan's words were directed to Xu Xiuying, who held the decision power. She gave her ”mother-in-law” a bright smile, testing the patience of the succubus queen.
Xu Xiuying snorted. She shook her head, ”I don't approve gambling. No betting in this fight.”
”Ah, what a pity,” Wei Yuan sighed. This family didn't fall to an obvious trick. Still, she got to fight Xu Miao and test his skills, which was her main goal.
Jian Meng stepped forward to end the drama, ”Are you done?”
Wei Yuan and Xu Miao shrugged and nodded.
”I'm ready.”
”Anytime.”
Jian Meng waved his hand, ”Then, BEGIN!”
As soon as Jian Meng signaled the start of the match, both Wei Yuan and Xu Miao leaped away from each other.
Wei Yuan was wary of Xu Miao's energy drain skill, so she avoided fighting in close combat. As for Xu Miao, it was his natural fighting style that he always kept a distance from his enemies, so he could read his opponent's fighting style easier.
Seeing that Xu Miao didn't choose to fight in a close-combat, Wei Yuan summoned a medium-grade naginata, which she had obtained from KQ. She also threw two kunai, which was coated with her demonic aura.
Xu Miao took out a common saber and coated it with his aura as well. He leaped to the side, avoiding the flying knives.
But the two kunai suddenly curved and made a U-turn. They were homing knives!
Amused by the skill, Xu Miao parried it with his saber.
*CLANK*
The saber broke the moment it hit the demonic aura from one of the knives. The quality of demonic was superior to yang qi.
'Ho?'
Xu Miao bent his body as if he were Keanu Reeve, dodging the homing knives again.
The kunai returned to Wei Yuan's hand. She tossed them again and followed up with four more homing knives. After that, she rushed in, closing the distance.
