Chapter 54 - Mist-Flame Spear, Scorching-Fire Wave (1/2)

“The fifth match, Divine No. 5, Xu Zhengchun, and Earth No. 5… Xu Yang!” Xu Qinggang paused for a while and said loudly.

“What happened? Xu Yang has already participated in a match. Why is he having another match now? Even his number plate has been changed.” Xu Changling frowned.

Xu Qinglu smiled bitterly and walked to him. He said, “Father, it is because Xu Yang took the initiative to exchange his number plate with Xu Zhengchun’s opponent.”

“What? How dare he!” Third Elder of the Xu family smacked his hand on the tall chair and yelled angrily, “The little bastard really wants to die! How dare he take the initiative to challenge Zhengchun?”

“Arrogant! Ignorant! He is just like his father!” Third Elder of the Xu family angrily scolded, “Hurry, tell Zhengchun to not hold back. Beat him up heavily!”

“Brother!” Xu Changling scolded him and said with dignity, “Qinglu, go and inform Qinggang that it is a match within the family. Make sure that no one crosses the line.”

Third Elder said angrily, “No way!”

The rickety old man with a long beard immediately stood up and said to Xu Changling, “Manor Master, I totally disagree with what you said. If you say that they cannot cross the line in the family tournament, what about Xu Yang who beat my Zhengming up so badly?”

Xu Qinglu was in a difficult position, and he looked at his father.

Even Xu Changling himself was in a difficult position. If he were to stop the tournament at that moment, Xu Yang would have to be punished as he truly did cross the line in the first match. However, he was worried about Xu Yang if he did not assert this rule in the match between Xu Zhengchun and Xu Yang.

The Second Elder stood up and said, “Elder Brother, as I see it, we shouldn’t just sit here and wait. It might be one of the most fascinating matches in this tournament. Why don’t we go and spectate it?”

Xu Changling pondered for a while and soon understood Second Elder’s intention. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Good idea. It is quite boring to sit here. Let’s go! Qinglu, there’s no need to stop them.”

Xu Changling knew what to do. If he could spectate nearby the ring, he could save Xu Yang easily with his cultivation in the Mystical Grandmaster stage in case Xu Yang were to meet a life-threatening danger.

With Xu Qinggang’s announcement, loud laughter sounded under the ring.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time.” Xu Zhengchun walked onto the ring step by step, hovering slightly in mid-air. It seemed as if there were invisible steps supporting him. He was dressed in noble white attire and this made him even more handsome.

“Fuh… He is indeed a genius that can be compared with Xu Zhengxin. The technique to walk in mid-air is marvelous! I am pretty sure that there is no other youngster in our family who can do this.” A youngster from the Xu family said in wonderment.

“Beautiful but useless.” Xu Yang made a conclusion.

Xu Zhengchun was using Mystical Power to support himself. He had to use Mystical Power every step he took and it required good control of Mystical Power.

The real technique of walking in mid-air was a natural ability of a Mystical Grandmaster who could control himself and reach the Micro-Sight stage. The fact that Xu Zhengchun had to be extremely careful every single step he took was an embarrassment to the technique of being able to walk in mid-air.

However, it was quite extraordinary for a Mystical Warrior to be able to perform this kind of trick. Even Xu Qinggang’s eyes flashed in surprise.

“It is a match within the family. Don’t cross the line. You are not enemies.” Although Xu Qinggang did not receive the manor master’s orders to say so, he took it upon himself to say that nonetheless. He stared at Xu Zhengchun and Xu Yang on the ring and said, “Understood?”

A sneer flashed in Xu Zhengchun’s eyes and he said, “Uncle Qinggang, I’m afraid I can’t agree with what you said. How can we improve when we are not allowed to fight using all our strength? Cultivating Mystical Qi is a process of breaking through in an extremely dangerous situation. If one were to not have the courage to do that, it is better to admit defeat and live a commoner’s life! What would be the purpose of participating in the Grand Family Tournament?”
