Chapter 106: Qualified for the Final (2/2)

Jian Ya’s expression changed. He let go off the God’s Sword and turned into a light beam, flying towards the black sword extremely quickly. Everybody held their breath. Patriarch Zi Jian looked at Lin Feng angrily, and saw he was smiling. Lin Feng raised his left hand and grabbed his God’s Sword again.

At the same time, Jian Ya flashed up and managed to grab the black sword before Lin Feng. He looked at it nervously and released his own sword intent to check the black sword. It wasn’t injured, it was fine.

Jian Ya turned around to continue fighting, but he realized he wasn’t exactly on the stage anymore. He was off of it, which meant he had lost.

“You lost,” Lin Feng stated. He landed back on the stage and smiled. His God’s Sword disappeared.

Everybody was astonished. Jian Ya had already lost! What a miserable defeat! His plan had been completely ruined by Lin Feng. Lin Feng had made him leave the stage without noticing it. He hadn’t lost because of strength!

Lin Feng was sly. Of course, Lin Feng was strong too. The first time, he had used sword strength to injure a strong cultivator, and now he had slyly made Jian Ya leave the stage. It had been a fierce fight while it lasted, however!

Jian Ya was stunned with regret. He wished he could start all over again, but Lin Feng’s sword attacks were really good, too. He was a good sword cultivator, no weaker than Jian Ya. He had nothing to be ashamed of.

“I lost, indeed,” acknowledge Jian Ya, and flew back to Patriarch Zi Jian. He had been eliminated!

Patriarch Zi Jian glanced at his disciple. Jian Ya lowered his head, not daring to look his teacher in the eyes. Patriarch Zi Jian sighed. Jian Ya was a good disciple. His connection to his black sword wasn’t deep enough, though. Lin Feng had noticed it and taken advantage of that weakness.

“Little boy, after the competition, give me give bottles of good booze. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you!” shouted Patriarch Zi Jian at Lin Feng telepathically. He sounded unhappy because his disciple had been the victim of Lin Feng’s sly strategy.

Lin Feng smiled awkwardly, and told him it wasn’t a problem.

“Lin Feng wins. He’s qualified for the final!” stated Fan Tian Gang. Everybody sighed with amazement. As the competition progressed, it seemed that Lin Feng was getting closer and closer to becoming Holy Fifth!

Lin Feng was already a Supreme Elder. Even though holy cultivators and Supreme Elders were similar ranks, they belonged to different groups. Holy cultivators were Holy Shrine members, while Supreme Elders managed the God’s Sect.

If Lin Feng became Holy Fifth in the end, he’d become the first person to have two high ranks in both groups!

“Second battle, Luo Chen vs. Xuan Yuan Mu. Start!” said Fan Tian Gang. The winner of that battle would fight against Lin Feng in the final.

Luo Chen jumped forwards, looking like he was in a frenzy. He raised his left hand and punched at Xuan Yuan Mu. Luo Chen wasn’t acting discreet anymore. He seemed much stronger than during his previous battles.

Xuan Yuan Mu hadn’t even had time to properly come onto the battle stage before Luo Chen was attacking him. He didn’t go panic, also punching out. Their fists collided and sparkled. Xuan Yuan Mu was two steps away from the stage. Since Luo Chen had already attacked, he had struck back.

Xuan Yuan Mu jumped and kicked out at Luo Chen’s chest. Luo Chen raised his left foot as well. Their feet collided. Their strength exploded and rolled out in waves thousands of meters away. Weaker disciples ran away as quickly as they could.

Their battle was different from Lin Feng and Jian Ya’s battle. Lin Feng and Jian Ya hadn’t fought in close combat, they could maintain some distance when fighting with swords. But Luo Chen and Xuan Yuan Mu used their physical strength. It was a true melee fight!
