C46 (2/2)

At this moment, he finally understood that my best strategy was to just dodge. If he could continue using the Mountain God's Possession, wouldn't that be defying the heavens' will?

”Admit defeat!” After staring hatefully at me for a while, Li Xiang finally spat out those two words while gritting his teeth. When the people from the Mountain God Sect heard that, they immediately dragged him away, afraid that I would change my mind and kill him.

”Victory, White Jade Gate's Chen Ziming!”

The White Jade Sect members didn't cheer for me, naturally the other sects wouldn't either. Pu Xuan chuckled as he looked at me, a trace of doubt flashing through his eyes.

Crap!

I was startled, exposing my strength is fine with me, but with Chen Ziming's character, how could he dodge like this and not fight? If he was careless and revealed his true identity, he might not be able to leave this place. What should he do?

Although my mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, I naturally didn't reveal any of them.

”Master,” I said, grinning as I ran to Pu Xuan, ”do you think I have become smarter?”

”Un,” Pu Xuan hid the doubts in his heart and patted me on the shoulder, ”That's right, you don't seem like the old you anymore …”

Old fox, you want to make me slip up with a single sentence? You think too easily of me.

”That's only natural,” I proudly laughed and whispered, ”Master, you told me to fight with Ling Kong, so I naturally have to preserve my physical strength. Otherwise, if I get injured or tired today, I won't be able to use my full strength tomorrow. I spent an entire night thinking of a way to prove that I'm not an idiot who only knows how to fight. It's a good thing that I managed to use one today and saved a lot of energy. Master, how is it? I didn't lose your face, did I? ”

”Un, not bad, not bad, you have really given Master face!” ”I've indeed grown up and learned how to think. This is my good disciple, Pu Xuan!” Pu Xuan laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy. I could see that although his suspicion of me had not completely disappeared, it had at least been reduced to a very low level.

”Master, did you see Ling Kong's competition? ”Well?”

Pu Xuan shook his head. ”He didn't make a move.”

”What?” I was stunned, ”Wasn't the victor Xu Cangyuan and Lingkong?”

Xu Cangyuan was the senior brother Xu mentioned by the outer court servant back then. He was now the most talented of the thirteen. After obtaining victory against Ling Kong, the remaining matches will belong to the three of us. As for Tian Yu, he was heavily injured by Xia Qing and was still in a coma.

”Hmph, that Sky Sect is indeed shameless. Ling Kong didn't even make a move. That Xia Qing, after defeating the others, directly admitted defeat. The victor would naturally be Ling Kong.”

Xia Qing, is he that powerful? The people from the Mountain God Sect were ignored, but the people from the sword faction shouldn't be so easy to deal with.

”Xia Qing, he's so formidable, why would he admit defeat?” This question was actually just a useless question, but it was to show Chen Ziming's usual stupidity. Of course, it also needed to be understood from the side if Xia Qing was abnormal.

Sure enough, Pu Xuan rolled his eyes at me and said: ”Ling Kong is the next Sect Leader. If Xia Qing compels him to join us, I'm afraid that after the competition, we'll be in great trouble. ”However, this Xia Qing is truly strange. I can see that his spirit energy is not very strong, but he has exploded with an extremely strong battle strength. In just a short time, he defeated the other three people.”

I scratched my head. ”Could it be some kind of secret technique, like the one used by the Mountain God School's Li Xiang?”

”Probably not.” Shaking his head, Pu Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, ”However, if he consumed some sort of medicinal pill to stimulate his potential, then it's very possible. He doesn't want to fight with Ling Kong, and the medicinal effect should not be enough to sustain him until then. Or, perhaps, it's the arrangement of those old fogeys of the Sky Sect to begin with.”

Seeing that I was nodding my head non-stop, Pu Xuan slapped me. ”Nodding your head, what do you know? Let go of him tomorrow and I will support you even if you kill him.”

”Mm, disciple will do his best!” I nodded sharply, very seriously.

”Master, what about that Xu Cangyuan guy? How strong is he?”

”Him?” Pu Xuan's expression became serious, ”At the very least, he's at the peak of the Spirit Dan realm. He used a set of palm techniques, and when he waved his hands, there was the sound of thunder, and his power was astonishing. But apart from that, he didn't use any other killing move.”

”Alright, you can go back now. Rinse your energy and gather your strength. Tomorrow, my White Jade Sect's reputation will be entirely up to you.”

”Yes, Teacher, disciple will take his leave.”

When I returned to my residence, I thought to myself, 'This Ling Kong, that is to say, Qiu Xi, the reason why he didn't make a move, is he afraid of his identity being exposed, or is he afraid of his strength being exposed?' If it was the former, then it was very likely that his cultivation technique would be recognized by others. If it was the latter, then it wasn't strange at all. If I can force him to use his full strength in the battle tomorrow, then it would be very clear who he is, and trouble would follow. However, if I can't make him be more serious even if I use my full strength, then there would be no other way.

And that Brother Xu Cangyuan, who is he? Why haven't I heard of him before? If he were to enter the Sky Sect after me, then his talent would truly be heaven-defying. Pu Xuan said that he used a set of fist techniques and his palms would become bigger … My heart jolted. No way! It was impossible for him to be that powerful, and his appearance was completely different, but if it was really him, then what position did he have now? Is he still the same as he was before?

Annoyed, I stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out into the courtyard. The moon was bright and full in the sky. Under the silver light, the surroundings seemed cold and quiet. However, the silence did not bring about a depressing silence. Instead, it brought about a refreshing feeling that brought back sadness.

I looked at the moon in the sky and thought back to the past. As for you, are you the same as me …
