Chapter 345: Coward (2/2)

The people who looked forward to it most were still the tiger sect disciples. The Core disciples rarely ever fought in the fighter hall as they had a tacit understanding of each other's strength.

So when they got to see their top 2 fight, they were naturally excited… except for Wen Cheng. His face was solemn as he looked at the stage with a serious face.

”Are you worried about sister losing, Master?” Alex asked. Wen Cheng would likely lose his status as the sect leader if that were to happen.

Wen Cheng shook his head in denial.

”Then... are you worried about brother Yuhan losing?” Alex thought that wasn't possible but still asked.

”Yes,” Wen Cheng said as he nodded. That surprised Alex. Wen Cheng would have to step down if Du Yuhan won, and yet he was worried about the opposition losing.

”Why?” Alex asked.

”Well, it's not so much about Yuhan losing, but rather… how he loses,” Wen Cheng said.

'Is he worried that sister will defeat him so badly that he will lose all motivation to advance? That doesn't seem like his character,' Alex thought.

”BEGIN,” the referee shouted.

Luo Mei immediately brought out her sword and prepared an attack when she saw that Du Yuhan had prepared no sword. She could tell something was wrong. She started to feel a little annoyed when she realized what was going to happen.

Du Yuhan didn't take out his swords. Instead, he opened his mouth and said,” I concede.”

Luo Mei was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Du Yuhan turned around to leave that she realized what had happened. She immediately started shouting, ”What are you doing? Why are you refusing to fight me?”

Du Yuhan ignored her and started walking away. The referee looked at Luo Mei and said,” You Win.” She didn't want that.

”Stop walking away you coward, and come fight me,” she screamed. Her annoyance turned to full-on anger and she started gritting her teeth.

”Come back right now and fight me, you coward. Stop walking away,” she continued screaming. However, Du Yuhan made no such attempt to stop at any point.

In fact, he didn't even bother going to the waiting area and directly walked towards the seating area for the Tiger sect.

Luo Mei kept on screaming, and that was the noise anyone heard for a while. The tiger sect's disciples and elders were both surprised and disappointed by the outcome of their match.

'Why would he do that? Did he know he was not her match?' Alex wondered.

”Why did senior brother give up?” Su Min said with a hint of sadness to her voice.

Everyone asked some variation of the same question. The only one who didn't look surprised was Wen Cheng.

”Sigh, I knew this would happen.” He started shaking his head.

Du Yuhan returned to his seat and looked down on the empty stage, ignoring all the questions he was asked. The man who said he would become the greatest… gave up.
