Fighting Spirit

The light aura shot out from Su Yun’s side, causing him to be startled as he turned to look.

Lu Zhan Yuan was seated down with a pale white expression, he was gasping for breath very heavily, as though he was frightened.

It turned out that the light aura that blossomed from the card was not from his hand, but from the spirit cultivator beside him.

The spirit cultivator’s face was pale white, beads of perspiration dropped down while he looked at the spirit cultivator walking out from Group B. His complexion turned extremely bad and his entire body trembled.

Although splitting up the groups in terms of fighting strength was not a normal means, this was able to separate most of the experts with the ordinary cultivators, fighting strength was not personal strength, but was an indicator of personal strength. The participant from Group D had 2000 odd fighting strength, and could be considered an average cultivator in Group D, but his opponent had fighting strength close to 4000, which was extremely terrifying, he was close to the Group A participants already.

“I thought it was your turn.” Su Yun could not resist but laugh.

“I also thought it was me, that scared me to death! If it was truly me, I would be finished.”

Lu Zhan Yuan breathed heavily, he glanced at the two person and suddenly stood up and ran over to the spectator stand.

“Where are you going?” Su Yun was confused with his actions.

“I’m going to place my bet, in such a situation, the B Group cultivator is bound to win!!”

“This round is not unpredictable at all, even if you bet, I am afraid you won’t earn much.”

“Even earning a bit is still considered earning.” Lu Zhan Yuan laughed.

There were many people who had the same thoughts as Lu Zhan Yuan, even the participants of Group C and D had joined in the crowd, but the people in Group A and B were all revealing looks of disdain, some of them even had their eyes closed while meditating, some had their gazes fixated on the arena, waiting for the battle to begin, they were extremely quiet, contrasting with Su Yun’s side.

Lu Zhan Yuan went and came back quickly, he seemed to have set his bet, but in a predictable round, it was not possible to earn much. Unless it was an unexpected turn of events.

“Brother Su, are you not going to bet?”

“When it’s my turn, I will go and bet!” Su Yun laughed and said.

“Heh, you’ve thought about it, we should just quickly be eliminated in Group D, and not be as unlucky as that guy, to meet a person from Group B!” Lu Zhan Yuan laughed bitterly.

Su Yun looked towards the elevated stage, to see that the participant from Group B had long flipped up and landed on stage, while the Group D participant was struggling, not daring to go forward.

“Wuss! Quickly get on stage!”

“What are you afraid of? Aren’t you going to just die anyway?”

“With so many people watching, can’t you have a bit of courage?”

“This old one spent a 100 cultivation coins on you! If you can win, that will be good, but if you are going to lose, at least lose beautifully, understand?”

The spectators watching all shouted and scolded.

Upon hearing that, the Group D participant gritted his teeth, he moved his legs and jumped up the elevated stage.

“Great!!!”

Seeing that, Shu Wen immediately shouted out: “Now that both of our participants are up on stage, from Group D, we have participant Liu Yu Ming against Group D Participant Liu Kuang, both participants get ready, for we are about to begin!!”

Shu Wen shouted and immediately jumped out of stage, and with that, a loud sound of a bell came out, indicating the start of the battle.

It was obvious that Group D’s Liu Yu Ming was afraid, since the opponent’s fighting strength was exactly twice of his, so when the bell sounded out, before he could even make his move, the opponent had already rushed towards him.

Liu Kuang was a tiger with a big blade that had imposing tiger striped patterns all over, it was also extremely heavy, but in his hands, it looked weightless and was being swung with ease.

Sou!

The blade body ignited with flames and struck forward like a pouncing ferocious tiger, it was extremely majestic.

Before the blade had even got close, the aura from the blade had already stunned Liu Yu Ming, he was trembling from head to toe, and before he could even lift up his curved blade to block, he was struck by the blade as it straight into his body. His upper half was instantly ripped apart, he was almost cut completely in two, and his broken body flew out and struck the corner of the stage, he slipped down, and did not get up.

Blood flowed all over, dying the stage red.

Killed in one move!

The entire stage was silent.

After three seconds, an eruption of roars exploded out.

“Awesome!!!”

Countless roars continued to surge as many of the spectators were already standing and shouting out loud.

All of the participants had varying emotions, countless of Group D people were shocked from the scene and their hearts were thumping hard, their faces pale white.

But Su Yun was different from them, most of the competitors were all Spirit Star Cultivators, even if their chests were split open, as long as their vital parts were fine, it was not life threatening, so although the scene looked very gruesome, but as Spirit Star cultivators, it was nothing much.

The victor was quickly revealed, the loser was brought off the stage, while the victor, Liu Kuang, received the cheers from the crowds, and once again returned to his seat, where he did not even bother going to the resting area.

Truly unbridled!

Group C and D people were all whispering to one another, all of them revealing looks of hatred towards Liu Kuang.

Shu Wen excitedly stood back up on the stage and continued talking, instigating the current atmosphere, he flowed along with the course of excitement, and within his speech, he continued to choose out the new participants.

Whooosh!

Just then, a light aura exploded out from the side of Group A, everyone looked over, and when they saw whose card it came from, the entire competition grounds lost control.

“Shen Wu Ya!! It’s Shen Wu Ya!!”

“Blade Sword Saint of War Shen Wu Ya, the man who wields the blade in his left hand and the sword in his right!!”

“Oh my god, it is his turn already?”

“I wonder which unlucky person will face against him.”

“I hope it isn’t me!”

“This top grade expert, unless Han Yue Xin or Zhong Ye comes out, I am afraid no one can fight against him!”

“Don’t look down on the rest, maybe there are some dark horses in Group B, C and D!”

Everyone started discussing fervently, the entire place was extremely lively.

“Shen Wu Ya, I love you!! Be my dual cultivation companion!!”

“Shen Wu Ya!! I like you!!”

“Shen Wu Ya! Here, look here!!”

Many female cultivators jumped out of their seats and started to scream upon seeing Shen Wu Ya entering the stage.

Su Yun followed everyone’s gaze and looked at the man sitting at the front of Group A region with a blade and sword on his back, he was dressed in skin tight purple clothes with black hair and a braid that dropped to his back, he looked extremely clean and handsome, with sharp eyebrows and thin cheeks, which gave off a charismatic vibe, and was definitely someone who could be classified as a handsome man.

Before Su Yun could continue evaluating him, another burst of light aura exploded beside him.

Su Yun was startled, and turned to look.

He realized that the light aura was truly by his side, but it did not come from him, or the person at the other side, but from Lu Zhan Yuan.

~It’s really him~

Lu Zhan Yuan was stunned, he looked at his card that was releasing light with a pale face, his eyes seemed to have lost his soul.

~Isn’t this supposed to be a random ballot? Isn’t it too coincidental?~

“Relax your state of mind, even if you can’t win, you cannot be terrified! I believe that the four evaluators will ensure your safety, give it your all, and have a good fight with Shen Wu Ya!”

Su Yun patted Lu Zhan Yuan’s shoulder and spoke up.

In such a competition, the more one was afraid of getting injured, the worse it would be, and the only thing one could do was give it his all.

“B-but its Shen Wu Ya!”

Lu Zhan Yuan panicked: “I am definitely not his opponent! Definitely not possible! I will be killed by him, I will be killed by him!!”

He was trembling from head to toe, facing a famous genius, Lu Zhan Yuan seemed to have lost all of his fighting spirit.

With such an attitude, he had already lost half the battle, and victory and defeat was extremely obvious.

But, Lu Zhan Yuan had no other choice, unless he was willing to break his own arms and destroy a stage of his own cultivation!

“I forfeit!!”

Right at this time, an ear piercing voice completely overwhelmed the entire field.

Su Yun turned in shock and looked at Lu Zhan Yuan, to see him trembling and screaming.

~Forfeit?~

“Zhan Yuan, you don’t even have a thread of courage at all?” Su Yun asked.

“The enemy is Shen Wu Ya ah! He is the Blade Sword Saint of War! He is a genius!! I cannot win against him, I can never possibly win against him!! I forfeit!! Forfeit!!” Lu ZHan Yuan seemed to have lost his mind, as he spoke extremely quickly.

But in the next second, Su Yun placed his hands securely on his shoulder. A bit of profound Spirit Qi flowed from Su Yun’s palm into Lu Zhan Yuan’s shoulder, and stabilized his frantic heart.

Su Yun looked at him in the eyes and spoke earnestly: “No one is born strong, you have to work hard and fight your way to become strong, Zhan Yuan, you must believe in yourself, even if the opponent’s strength is far stronger than yours, you cannot fear him, because once you are afraid, then you have already positioned yourself as a weaker man, now you may have the four Evaluators to protect you, if you were to fight now, you won’t be in danger, if you don’t fight, you have to cripple your cultivation by one stage, and then you will truly be weak, do you understand?”

When he saw Zhan Yuan’s eyes gradually becoming lost, he knew that if Zhan Yuan were not to go out to fight, an inner demon would form inside him, hindering his future cultivation. He would most probably stop at the Spirit Star Realm and would have difficulty stepping into the Spirit Master Realm.

Lu Zhan Yuan was speechless.

Su Yun then let go of his hand and stared at the stage, and continued: “Lu Zhan Yuan, the decision lies in your hands, now there are close to 100 thousand people watching you, you have to decide it for yourself, he, Shen Wu Ya is not afraid of you, why should you be afraid of him?”

Su Yun turned and looked at the elevated stage. Lu Zhan Yuan raised his head and looked at him.

Suddenly, Lu Zhan Yuan seemed to have sensed something, and he looked at Su Yun.

~Why isn’t Brother Su not afraid of him at all?~

~Why hasn’t he revealed any fear or worry? Isn’t he a Group D participant as well?~

~Then, why should I fear Shen Wu Ya? As a spirit cultivator, cultivation is my life, giving up on cultivation is also giving up on my life, If I don’t even want to cultivate, what’s the meaning of living? Will I continue living as a coward for the rest of my life?~

Lu Zhan Yuan’s thoughts became chaotic because of Su Yun, but not long later, he suddenly stood up and straightened his back, flames burning in his heart.

“Contest Lu Zhan Yuan, are you truly planning to forfeit?”

Just then, the host Shu Wen asked.

Lu Zhan Yuan clenched his lips, his yellow, bead sized eyes glanced around the competition grounds, he realized that almost everybody’s eyes were on him, and Shen Wu Ya who stood alone had his hands folded across his chest on stage, with his eyes closed, maintaining a calm demeanor, as though he had already determined that he was the winner of the competition.

Seeing the situation, Lu Zhan Yuan’s heart was suddenly raging with flames!

“I am just kidding, how can I surrender? Right?”

Lu Zhan Yuan laughed, although his face was still pale white, but the fear in his eyes had receded by more than half and an unswerving determination had replaced it.

Upon him saying that, Shen Yu Ya opened his eyes and looked at Lu Zhan Yuan with a hint of surprise, he had never expected Lu Zhan Yuan to say those words.

~He is looking at me! Is he finally noticing me?~

Lu Zhan Yuan clenched his fists tightly and thought.

“That’s good!!” Shu Wen continued to shout: “Then, let us welcome participant Lu Zhan Yuan on stage!”

Roar!!!

The roars of cheers and screams exploded out from the crowd, the entire competition ground was on fire again.
