58 Superior Spears (1/2)

'Tch! This Zhang Xuan is so shameless that even his students have no shame. Mo Xiao!” Lu Xun scoffed at Yuan Tao's actions.

One of the students before him picked up his spear before stepping forward and saluting, ”Yes, teacher.”

”You go up next. From the looks of it, Zheng Yang is going to be sent up. Since you use spears as well, show everyone the prowess of being my student!” Lu Xun waved his hand towards the stage.

Mo Xiao nodded with an excited glint in his eyes. Only a few days previously, he had privately duelled Zheng Yang outside the academy, however not only could he not defeat the other boy, he couldn't even come close to comparing. Although Zheng Yan had been of the Dantian realm primary stage at the time, and he was at the advanced stage, the simple overbearing nature of Zheng Yang's spear arts was plenty enough to bridge the gap.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no way for him to advance enough to match Zheng Yang in battle prowess, however after Lu Xun had given him a break through pill, he had managed to break through to the Zhenqi realm. One must know that between each realm, there was a true, quantitative difference in strength that would be difficult to bridge, meaning that his chances of defeating Zheng Yang had just elevated from zero to almost a hundred.

Putting on a confident look, Mo Xiao gripped his spear tightly within his hand before stepping up onto the stage.

”Mo Xiao, we've met again!”

Mo Xiao glanced over towards Zheng Yang, who was standing impassively on the other side of the arena, ”Indeed, we've met again!”

'What the hell is this wording? Can't they say we meet again?' Lu Fengyi felt annoyed at the way they were speaking. If he were the one to write the novel, he would make absolute sure that every sentence was perfect.

[ Just take it as a local accent. You'll be encountering different languages as well, eventually, so it'd be good to adapt as you go ]

The two competitors lifted their spears before nodding to each other.

”Let's begin.” Zheng Yang prepared to lift his spear.

”Hold it for a moment, allow me to warm up first!” Mo Xiang spoke quickly before stepping back and demonstrating several sets of the Wang clan's spear techniques.

As radiations of power swept out from Mo Xiang's movements, the audience sat forward in shock.

”I recognise that spear technique! It's the Wang clan's spear art!”
