Chapter 131 – New Challenges (2/2)

‘The human race is more laughable than I remembered it to be. Calling seven children God’s Seven? Get over yourselves! Hahaha!’ the Progenitor chuckled.

Ye Wei’s face turned black, upset by the Progenitor’s mockery.

After the pep talk, all of the students went back to their own rooms to prepare for the day after, feeling a bit nervous.

The fifteenth day of the tournament arrived, as the starry night eventually diffused into a bright morning with clear sky. The amethyst platforms were already warmed by the sun, when the students began to gather.

“We have an interesting matchup ahead of us today, neither had South Star or Tri-Solar dropped a match, they will undoubtedly fight their hardest to keep their record clean!”

“Interesting? I don’t see how Tri-Solar can lose this match. Shi Hun Tian is one of the God’s Seven! Two years ago he came into the public’s attention, rose like a star out of nowhere and took the God’s Seven title. And for the past two years, he had been training behind closed doors! He could only have gotten stronger!”

Although most of the crowd recognized Ye Wei’s strength, not many thought he could actually overcome Shi Hun Tian and become a God’s Seven.

“I wouldn’t be so sure just yet, apart from South Star’s first match, we didn’t really see Ye Wei fighting. What if he didn’t show all of his strength when he fought Qi Xiu?”

Everyone approved of Qi Xiu and knew him from two years ago, when Shi Hun Tian and him both took on the same God’s Seven, where Shi got the title and Qi Xiu fought a good fight before he eventually lost.

Some of the audience thought South Star had hope, some of them thought it was dead even, and most of them thought Shi Hun Tian would be able to finish South Star single-handedly. Although they didn’t have the same opinion, all of them were looking forward to see this unfold.

“Hey, Xu He, did you hear the crowd? They don’t think you are going to win!” Tri-Solar’s vice principal, Shi Xiao Ran, chuckled.

“It won’t be the first time when we become the unfavourite winner and it certainly won’t be the last.” Xu He replied coldly.

“Haha! I admire your confidence. What do you say to making this more interesting?” Shi Xiao Ran took out a hand fan from his possession and smiled indifferently, “If you win, this mystic arms is yours!” His tone became slightly provocative.

“Medium-grade two-star mystic arm, you are generous.” Xu He narrowed his eyes.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to play with me!” Shi Xiao Ran laughed.

“Well if you insist to shower me with gifts…” Xu He took out a knuckleduster from his possession.

“Let the fifteenth round begin!” the City Lord’s voice echoed, the audience below and above eventually took their seats as the contestants stepped on the amethyst platforms.

The audience cheered when they saw Shi Hun Tian walking close to platform three.

“That’s him! Shi Hun Tian! I haven’t seen him fight for two years! Do you guys still remember the fight when he defeated Mu Kong within fifty blows? I couldn’t believe a fifteen year old was able to beat a God’s Seven!”

“Of course I do, I don’t think this fight will be much worse!”

Shi Hun Tian began to stare at Ye Wei from across the martial platform, “I will make you forget about Qi Xiu and show you the distance between us is more vast than you could ever have imagined!” He mumbled to himself.

Feeling the burning gaze, Ye Wei casually looked back at Shi Hun Tian and continued talking to Cao Ning.

“This Ye Wei kid doesn’t seem to care at all!”

“Arrogance is the mother of regret, let’s see how it’s gonna go.”

Contestants of both schools lined up on the opposite sides of the platform. After two weeks of demanding fights, everyone from South Star, even the less experienced ones were looking more fierce, more confident.

Unlike the first day, most of the influential audience on the cloud platform had their eyes on platform three looking forward to see South Star, a school that they hardly cared about not long ago.

Most of the patriarchs and the representatives from the Green Army already had an idea about who they would like to recruit after watching the fights for two weeks, excited that two of their favourites will be facing each other.

“It doesn’t really matter whoever comes out on top, they are both fit for the purpose,” the intimidating armor they wore made their smiles look slightly awkward.

Ning City’s patriarchs were also eager to discuss their opinion before the fight started.

“I think Shi Hun Tian is going to carry his school to score a win today, two years ago he had already shown great potential. I think he must have broken through to become a condensed prime Warrior since then.”

Defeating Qi Xiu at his best was undoubtedly a feat and it did not fade in the audience’s minds, but Shi Hun Tian too defeated Qi Xiu, not only was that a convincing victory, he also had more opportunities to show his capacities while fighting some of the stronger schools.

The crowd slightly tipped towards, supporting Tri-Solar School, and waited impatiently as the young cultivators warmed themselves up.
