Chapter 377: Quick Battle (1/2)

Lin Mu's interest was finally peaked after seeing that one of the two Core condensation realm contestants, Enlai Lan will be the next fighter. At least this way he hoped that he would get to see a good fight, but as soon as the opponent found out who he was fighting, his face fell.

”I forfeit!” Gen Jou declared.

”WOOHOO!” The audience shouted.

”Lord Enlai is unmatchable here, no one shall be victorious against him!” One of the people who's seemed to have come with Enlai Lan shouted.

The people did not seem disappointed by the forfeit, but were even more excited. It seemed like most of them had already expected this anyway.

”What a coward! This isn't even an actual battle, and he's still scared of doing a basic demonstration.” Wu Teng uttered, feeling even more bored.

~Sigh~

A sigh escaped Wu Hei's lips as he heard his brother's words and it seemed like there weren't many supporters for him. Lin Mu himself didn't know what to think of it and just continued watching. After this match, a few more happened until it was time for the last two matches of this round.

Lin Mu perked up his ears as it was likely that he would get chosen in these two matches as only five people were left to fight now.

”What's going to happen to the person who's left at the last? Don't we have an odd number of contestants?” Lin Mu questioned Wu Hei.

”They'll just get a free pass to the next round.” Wu Hei answered.

”Oh… I see.” Lin Mu responded.

”The next contestant is… Qing Yuan Tiu! Who will fight… Bin Tao!” The referee announced.

The man named Bin Tao walked down from his seat and went to the ring. But Qing Yuan Tiu seemed to be nowhere.

”Qing Yuan Tiu? Qing Yuan Tiu!” The referee called out again.

Wu Hei and Zhen Sui narrowed their brows as they looked around, unable to find her here.

”Has she not arrive yet? Alright, then the win goes to Bin Tao by…” The referee was just about to announce the winner when he was interrupted.

”WAIT! I'M HERE!” A woman's voice called out.

The man Bin Tao who was getting excited over getting a free win was suddenly doused. He looked at the voice and saw that his opponent had come. But when she got closer, he saw her appearance and got a smile on his face.

”Hehe! At least this will be enjoyable,” He said as Qing Yuan Tiu approached the ring.

”Alright, get into your positions and we'll begin.” The referee stated.

The two of them moved into the ring, and Bin Tao had his eyes on Qing Yuan Tiu the entire time. Lin Mu and the others were also observing her from the seats and could see that she was a young woman, probably in her early twenties. She had a pleasant oval face and yet her figure could not be seen due to the large and bulky robe she was wearing.

One would think that it even hampered her beauty and she would look much better with slimmer clothes, but from the indifferent look in her eyes, one would shudder. Lin Mu found her to be interesting, as he couldn't feel any spirit qi fluctuations from her.

It was actually a bit similar to Wu Hei's condition, where he could sense it only if he was close enough. Lin Mu wanted to check her cultivation base but knew that if he probed her with his spirit sense, it would be considered as interfering in the fight.

”Watch her closely… she's not simple.” Wu Hei whispered to Lin Mu.
