Chapter 41 – Representing Martial Sect (2/2)
“But you should not forget, three years ago on this day, Cai Zhong and I made an agreement of the date as individuals. Today Ming Sect changed the place; I only changed the time a little bit, is that not okay?”
Once he said these words, Ming Sect’s leader once again got angry, “this is what our Ming Sect had decided, so that means you disagree with it?”
“But you shouldn’t forget that I am representing Martial Sect here in this fight. This duel originally was just between Cai Zhong and me, but since you intervened in this duel and changed it into a duel amongst the major forces, am I in the wrong by wanting to be better prepared for this event?” Lei Yu said in reasonable manner.
“You…!”
“Well spoken, this kid gave us Martial Sect back some face.” Although Shangguan Xi Hong did not say this very loud, but one could hear joy from the tone of his voice. The first reason being the appearance of Lei Yu, the second being Lei Yu’s words won back the face of Martial Sect to allow them to stand back up on this stadium.
The Martial Sect members on the side all nodded in a pleased atmosphere, it seems that Lei Yu’s preparations have been very adequate.
Ai Er pursed her lips and coldly looked at Xiao Fei, “didn’t you say he would not dare to come? Humph, brother Yu is stronger than you; would you dare to go up for this duel?”
Once Ai Er said this to him, Xiao Fei suddenly became angry, but he directed the source of his anger onto Lei Yu standing at the center of the field. Forcefully clenching his fists, he silently promised in his heart that he will one day surpass this love rival.
Amongst all the audience, those that were optimistic about Lei Yu’s performance were only Nuo Yi Long and the dozen or so others. He personally witnessed the fight against Fan Hong Chang while the rest did not know, therefore it was natural to see Lei Yu as the weaker contender.
The Ming Sect’s leader slightly furrowed his brows, thinking: strange, I cannot tell what strength this kid possesses? Is he more powerful than my cultivation? Impossible! He’s just a nobody stinking brat, but why I can’t I see through his strength?
“Enough spouting nonsense, are you guys going to fight or not?” Urged the Elder Qing Feng from the corner of Celestial Court whom had kept silent throughout.
“Come on, let me experience how much you’ve grown in these three years!” Said Cai Zhong as he retreated a few steps back.
Lei Yu faintly smiled, “I too have been looking forward to this.”
No one knew where Lei Yu went or did this past month, but he was very clear, after just over a month’s time, he had already pushed his strength from the late-stage of [Energy Suppression] to the peak condition. So for this match, Lei Yu was filled with complete confidence.
They both instantly stood still in place. The atmosphere of the entire stadium was filled with tension, everyone held their breath waiting, waiting for the exciting duel to open the curtains and begin.
They two seemed like that weren’t stirring, but they were actually continuously circulating their own internal energy. Lei Yu spent a long time thinking and theorizing on how to combine the strengths of [Energy Suppression] stage into his melee expertise, to create a more perfect fusion of his strengths together.
The internal energy appeared to be standing still was actually absorbing and circulating to every part of his body. Compared to before, it was like heaven and earth. Whether it was his arms or legs, the internal energy stayed still there as if it was dead. As long as something happens, Lei Yu would rely on his spiritual strength to skillfully control this internal energy to instantly explode forth, sending out an extremely strong attack.
