C106 (1/2)
At this moment, even the faces of the Elders in the Nine Sun Academy changed. They had originally thought that Bai Chen was just a nobody, but who would have thought that he would be able to last so long in front of the Five Poisons Sect's Elite Disciple, Du Yu.
From the looks of it now, it seemed that he was even slightly stronger than Du Yu. This kind of ability indeed couldn't be underestimated.
Looking at the situation, a middle-aged man beside the Great Elder asked, ”It seems this Bai Chen won't be so easy to deal with.”
Hearing this, the Great Elder raised his eyebrows slightly, ”Chang Ling is a disciple of my Nine Sun Academy, and is also your son. The matters of Nine Sun City are my matters, and even if Bai Chen were to really win this battle, I would not allow him to live past the next battle.
The middle-aged man faintly smiled but didn't say anything.
He was the city lord of Nine Yang City, and Chang Ling was his son. He naturally knew that his own child was having fun in the outside world, but Chang Ling was his only son. She had actually been beaten to death by two punches in this chaotic world.
Compared to the City Lord of Nine Yang City, the Great Elder was much more stable. In his eyes, whether it was the Five Poisons Sect or Bai Chen, they were both thorns in the eye.
In addition, in recent years, the Five Poisons Sect had been domineering, decisive, and even vastly superior to him. If they wanted to occupy his position as number one in the thirteen sects, he naturally wouldn't allow this to happen.
A disciple of the Five Poisons Sect who was satisfied with the results of the first round would step down. This was equivalent to giving the Five Poisons Sect a resounding slap in the face. This was also beneficial to him.
Thus, even though the Great Elder looked as dissatisfied as the City Lord at any moment, he was actually very happy to watch his two opponents fight each other.
When Du Yu saw that Bai Chen had forcefully suppressed him by one head, he was initially in a state of panic, but after a period of time, he finally relaxed. The Bai Chen in front of him was indeed not ordinary, but he believed that he was not a match for him. After all, he still had one more move to use.
The Five Poisons Sect was extremely clear on the kind of opponents they were up against after battling with the Nine Yang Institute for such a long period of time. When it came to combat moves, the Five Poisons Sect was worthy of its reputation.
Although the Five Poisons Sect was decisive in their moves and showed no mercy, there were quite a few brave and courageous people. However, the Nine Sun Academy had put themselves in a difficult position, making it hard for people to guard against them.
Thus, Du Yu understood in his heart that no matter what, his final move must not be easily exposed.
As for this match, it didn't matter if he lost. He would have to wait for the semifinals to begin again. At that time, it wouldn't be too late for him to reverse the situation.
Therefore, his battle prowess gradually decreased. Not long after, he was defeated and walked off the stage alone.
Seeing the situation, many people understood the situation. It seemed that Du Yu was not going to continue battling, and wanted to conserve his strength.
It was not a secret that they would conserve their final killing move and use it during the final stage of the competition, so no one had any reaction.
On the other hand, the Second Elder of the Nine Sun Academy had a whole new level of respect for Bai Chen. He sighed with emotion, ”I really didn't expect that after so long, a mere Canghai Sect was actually able to cultivate such a talent. It was enough to force Du Yu to use his killing move.”
When the people beside the Second Elder heard this, they let out a cold snort: ”In my opinion, it's not that the Canghai Sect has become stronger, but rather that Du Yu. He's not as strong as the Five Poisons Sect's rumors say.”
There were many different opinions. Most people said that Bai Chen was lucky at the moment. If he was placed in the later stages, Du Yu would definitely not let him live.
However, no one would think that Bai Chen had the possibility of holding back. In their eyes, the Canghai Sect would forever be an existence with a thousand years of history. No matter how hard they tried, they wouldn't be able to accomplish any great things.
