Chapter 359: Du Chen (1/2)

The round continued to intensify when neither side had given their opponent an edge.

”Hmph, for our Qianlong Sect, we must destroy the Kunlun Sect,” one of the disciples from the Qianlong Sect roared.

The same thing was happening on Kunlun Sect as they continued to fight in their halberd techniques.

As the fighting continued, the crowd had slowly turned bored since they kept seeing the same techniques over and over again.

”Ugh, how long are they going to be on the stage?” Shan Zhilan pouted as she was already bored to death from the start.

”Patience, Shan Zhilan.” Jing Feng said calmly.

”They are using a halberd, so it's a given that the fight would take longer.”

”Exactly why I'm annoyed. Out of every weapon they can choose to specialize and argue about, they had to choose a damn halberd.”

Halberd isn't really a common weapon in the cultivation world, and not many held an interest in it.

Thus, the fighting on the stage had quickly turned boring- to the point that the crowd had started throwing their junks toward the stage.

Meanwhile, Grand Elder Huo smiled bitterly at this development.

'Sigh… maybe it was a bad decision to let them fight first.' Grand Elder Huo thought.

An hour later, and the stage was still full of clanking sound as the halberds collided together.

However, the crowd had long lost their interest. There were even some people sleeping on their seats.

Grand Elder Huo began to panic at this scenario.

'If this goes on, then I would be the first Grand Elder to fail the hosting of the preliminary round.' Grand Elder Huo exclaimed inwardly as he decided to make a headcount on the current stage.

Whoever has the most headcount shall be the one he will assist in winning.

A few minutes later, Grand Elder Huo noticed Kunlun Sect has the most people.

Thus, with a flick of his sleeve, Grand Elder Huo sent out some spiritual qi toward the Qianlong Sect's disciples.

The spiritual qi attached to the Qianlong Sect's disciples, and they began to lose spiritual qi faster than normal.

Soon, one by one, they began to get outmaneuvered by the Kunlun Sect as they got defeated.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng snorted coldly while glancing at the stage.

”What's wrong, Jing Feng?” Yang Wei asked as he held her hand secretly.

Jing Feng tilted her head slightly to look at Yang Wei. ”Nothing, just that I expected nothing less from a shameless old man.”

”Shameless old man?” Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.

”Did you mean that Grand Elder Huo, who is hovering around in mid-air?”

”Un, he rigged this match, so now the Qianlong Sect will get defeated in less than a minute.”

Before Yang Wei could ask how she knew, Jing Feng demonstrated a little by revealing her spiritual qi and latching onto his shoulders.

A few seconds later, Yang Wei noticed his spiritual qi was draining down despite not utilizing it.

”H-How is that possible?” Yang Wei asked in confusion.

Jing Feng smiled softly as she retracted her spiritual qi and leaned close to his ears.

”It's a technique that only those in the Houtian Realm can utilize. Normally, it's impossible to detect these types of action unless one is in the Houtian Realm or above.” She whispered.

Hearing her explanation, Yang Wei understood what she meant by rigged match.

”Ugh, despite feeling unfair, there's nothing we can do. This is the reality of being weak.” Yang Wei muttered.

Although he felt bad for the Qianlong Sect, he wasn't going to go out his way to get justice for them.

After all, he doesn't even have a relation with the sect nor would he risk his own sect by offending Grand Elder Huo.

Sometime later, just like Grand Elder Huo had wanted, the Qianlong Sect was defeated as their last disciple fell unconscious.

”Finally, it's about time this boring fight ends.”

”I know right, all those halberd's moves are so bland and boring.”

”Yeah, not even flashy nor cool. Just a bunch of dudes holding a goddamn stick and calling it a halberd for some reason.”

When Grand Elder Huo announced the Kunlun Sect as the victor, the crowd cheered aloud.

They cheered not for their victory, but for the fact that the boring fight had finally ended.

Despite the reaction from the crowd, the Kunlun Sect was still happy as they finally won against the Qianlong Sect.

Meanwhile, the elder of the Qianlong Sect found it hard to believe his disciples would suddenly start dropping down like flies. It was like their energy and force got sucked hard.
