Chapter. 11. Insult

Zhang Ceng wanted to pose yet another challenge When an echoing voice rang out.

“I also want to challenge and try a few punches from the Zhang Family’s young talent!” Before the echoes of the voice disappeared, the person who had shouted had already stood on top of the main arena, leaving a black silhouette behind him.

The man was no more than eighteen years of age, dashing and vicious in his eyes. With a disdainful facial expression, one might say the person is not handsome with a slightly blackish skin tone. The movement he showed earlier seemed agile.

He was also a challenger to these small sects scattered in the Southern Region.

Xia Qiouyan gave directions, then the battle immediately began.

“Liong Gege! According to Gege, which side will win this time?” Nalan Jieruo asked Yuan Liong

before Yuan Liong could answer.

“Ouch! Jieruo's beautiful sister! Why should you ask this Pale? Sister Qiu has been beside you from the start! Sister Qiu is the one who answered yes!” Chattered Murong Qiu, at the same time mocking Yuan Liong.

Grandpa Zhou laughed happily seeing Yuan Liong being bullied by Murong Qiu. In his heart, he said, “You stupid, insensitive young man!”

Yuan Liong, who heard Murong Qiu's words, couldn't help but grimace, and laugh, unable to express sadness nor was it wrong. Indeed he is basically not very good at interacting with girls, he is a bit shy and clumsy.

“According to Sister Qiu who is about to fall, that unknown newcomer!” continued Murong Qiu while pointing in the direction of the battle.

“The Black Face is just the way he came, the contents are empty!” Murong Qiu closed her explanation.

“I think so too, our opinion is in the same direction as Sister Qiu!” Nalan Jieruo said.

“Sister Qiu! I think if you look closely, this Pale is more handsome than every young man here,” whispered Nalan Jieruo to Murong Qiu.

“Sister Qiu agrees with your opinion,” Murong Qiu replied.

The two of them laughed giddily and praised Yuan Liong at the same time. The whispers between the two girls sounded faintly in Yuan Liong's ears, his face slightly flushed.

Meanwhile, the battle on the stage had reached its peak. Zhang Ceng's breathing was still regular, in contrast to his opponent who was already out of breath. Right in the thirtieth move, a kick landed on the black-faced youth's chest which made him give up.

In this third challenge, Zhang Ceng actually wanted to challenge Murong Qiu, but, again someone had floated up and stood in front of him. He was the rudimentary and pale-faced youth of the Murong Family group, which was Yuan Liong as he was.

***

“Kid! There's something Grandpa wants to whisper!” Grandpa Zhou whispered, then he brought his mouth and hands towards Yuan Liong's neck and ears.

Grandpa Zhou smiled and firmly gripped the neck of Yuan Liong's robes. Yuan Liong had just woken up but was in awe, his body uncontrollably flew into the stage arena.

Grandpa Zhou was stunned, his laughter exploded and the plan he devised was a huge success, he managed to get Yuan Liong into the match. Earlier he managed to outsmart and throw Yuan Liong's body into the battle arena.

Yuan Lion landed with a beautiful movement on the battlefield, he stood speechless. Inwardly could only curse at Grandpa Zhou's handiwork, the old man really gave him trouble this time.

His face was pale as the internal wounds suffered from the last battle had still not healed. Even though Yuan Liong avoided unnecessary battles as much as possible, his own cultivation was held to the early stage of the King Realm. Yuan Liong was afraid that internal energy would leak out and it would aggravate his injuries.

Right now, in front of Yuan Liong standing proudly of Zhang Ceng, Zhang Ceng never imagined that he would face this rudimentary and pale youth.

“Huh! Only in the early-stage King Realm, dare you to challenge me? I will let you know the cruelty of the world!” Insults and threats came out of Zhang Ceng's words.

“I don't know what's so attractive about you being this poor! Pale face malnourished. How dare you get close to beautiful ladies, I will represent Brother Jin teaching you customs! Ha ha ha,” he continued, still not satisfied with his earlier insult.

Yuan Liong already understands very well, that this is the world of martial arts, everything is judged by power, money, and women. Envy and wanting to dominate are common, and with the power, they will stand at their peak. Those who feel strong will surely underestimate and bring down the weak.

Holding back his anger Yuan Liong said, “We, wrestlers, don't fight with our tongues, let's prove it with our fists.”

“Look at the attack!” shouted Yuan Lion as he opened the attack. Yuan Liong instantly condensed the power in his lightning element into both hands, and a clear squeaking sound accompanied by a silver color filled the air on the stage.

The shards of his profound energy expanded to pierce the skin, however, Yuan Liong's profound energy was being suppressed at the early stage king realm. So that everyone who feels the sting of Yuan Liong's inner power, can ward off it with the protection of their own inner energy.

Everyone was shocked by the squeaking sound and the silvery light emanating from Yuan Liong's inner strength, this was the first time people had seen an inner power with such a strange element.

The squeaking sound that comes out is also very annoying to hear, if an expert is good at using this squeaking sound, he can disrupt the source of energy in each of his opponents.

Zhang Ceng dodged, parried, and retaliated, in one move he did simultaneously. It was beautiful to look at, the movements flowed continuously in the Cobra Peck Move, this move was practiced by all members of the Zhang Family, and the movements of this move were very agile.

At first Yuan Liong was still able to put up a fight, with every move Yuan Liong fought hard, and his pale face grew even paler.

On the fiftieth move, Yuan Liong couldn't dodge his Three Poisonous Cobra Move, one of which hit him in the chest.

Yuan Liong was thrown backward, he vomited thick blood the size of a fist.

“Ooooh! It's just like this, so weak!” Zhang Ceng sneered and mocked then spat at Yuan Liong.

“Base! Poor! And weak! Ha ha ha …” he continued.

Yuan Liong raised his hand and surrendered, inwardly he said, “I will remember today's humiliation, one day I will repay you with complete flowers.”

Then he flashed down and glared at Grandpa Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou with deep regret approached Yuan Liong, then channeled his inner strength a little to help heal Yuan Liong's wounds.

“Kid! Sorry! Grandpa is too curious about your inner strength,” said Grandpa Zhou regretfully, smiling brightly.

“Kid! You have to remember, as long as the mountains are still green, don't be afraid to run out of firewood, you will be able to repay today's insults!” Grandpa Zhou said.

Yuan Liong agreed with a nod of his head.

Nalan Jieruo who had started to like Yuan Liong could only join in glaring at her own grandfather. She was worried about Yuan Liong's condition, his pale face became even more colorless.

Meanwhile, on the stage of the arena, Zhang Ceng challenged Murong Qiu which was then rejected by Murong Qiu.

Since there were no other challengers, Zhang Ceng was declared passed to the next stage.

The final stage left only Zhang Ceng and Jin Tengsin. The final match would be held after a pause of four incense sticks.
