Chapter 800: Provocations! (1/2)

Edited by RED

“Thirtieth battle,” said the Third Master after everything finally calmed down. The Competition could continue.

“I, I give up,” said a man softly after the Third Master said that. He was a genius from an empire and had already won once. One more battle and he would be qualified for the next round, but after seeing Garuḍa’s battle, he decided to give up because he was too scared.

Indeed, he was scared because his next opponent was Garuḍa, and he had just seen it fight. Fighting against Garuḍa would be extremely reckless!

As a result, Garuḍa was also directly qualified for the next round.

——

After that, the genius of the Ancient Xuan Clan won two battles. Many other battles continued taking place.

After the thirty-fourth battle, the first round was over.

A dozen people had lost two battles; they were all from empires, so the leaders of those empires all pulled long faces, but what could they do? The geniuses of the clans and sects were so strong…

Those who had lost two battles would naturally be at the bottom of the rankings. Then, there were those who had won only one battle. Jing Wu Hen was one of them. They were also eliminated, but higher in the rankings than those who had lost two battles.

The crowd was astonished that Jing Wu Hen had been eliminated after ranking third during the previous Competition. This time, he didn’t even finish in the top ten. Many people were disappointed.

Lin Feng hadn’t paid attention to Prince Ghost and Prince Demon so far, but they were qualified for the next round as well. All Lin Feng thought about was Xie Dian.

“The first round is over. Now, the thirty-four remaining fighters will continue fighting one on ones until twelve people are left. The losers will be eliminated.

“We’ll continue tomorrow. Everybody can leave now,” said the Third Master.

——

The whole crowd quickly dispersed. Many people were annoyed.

This Competition was different from the previous one. In the past, it finished within one day, they didn’t need to wait several days to know the champion. It was inconvenient and boring this way.

Everybody left slowly, including those who had been eliminated. The losers all looked dispirited.

Lin Feng also got ready to leave, but Jing Wu Hen walked up to him. Lin Feng looked at Jing Wu Hen.

Jing Wu Hen was with Jiang Xuan. They both looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was wearing a plaited bamboo hat, so they couldn’t see his face.

“I’m happy you are safe and sound,” Jing Wu Hen smiled.

“Let’s leave to talk,” Lin Feng replied in a low voice. They walked away from the imperial city.

Many people watched Lin Feng and Jing Wu Hen skeptically as they were leaving together. How did they know each other? Lin Feng had even humiliated Garuḍa because of Jing Wu Hen!

Garuḍa looked glum when she saw Zhu Xie leave, her eyes filled with killing intent. But then she smiled evilly. Many people didn’t know what that meant…

—

Lin Feng looked for a new inn. This time, he wasn’t with Jeston, he was with Jing Wu Hen and Jiang Xuan.

Lin Feng took off his plaited bamboo hat. When Jing Wu Hen saw Lin Feng’s face, he smiled. Jiang Xuan ran into Lin Feng’s arms and cried. He already knew what had happened in Lang Xie City, his home.

Even though he had decided to leave Lang Xie City because he had felt wronged, he didn’t wish his family anything bad. He was extremely worried.

“Teacher, my dad and mom have been captured,” Jiang Xuan cried. He hoped his teacher would help save the people of Lang Xie City.
