BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31 Against Liu Xin
I quickly ran back to the crowd. The fight was going to start any minute now, and I had no time to look for a mysterious person. That was going to be for later. Now, I had to concentrate on the match itself. I took this opportunity to pop a pill into my mouth. It was a Qi Supplement pill that allowed me to recover any Qi that I used before. With this, I could go back to my peak state before the match started.
Liu Xin was lucky. His opponents forfeited every single match, and he had yet to fight at all! It was just so unfair that he had such privilege. If I had shown off my cultivation so proudly, then maybe I would also have the same treatment.
"Liu Feng and Liu Xin. The fight for the winner, and the representative of the Liu Family in the martial gathering shall commence now. Enter the stage." the judge said.
With this, the crowd went silent for a few moments. I got onto the stage, and opposite to me, Liu Xin stood, smiling at me. He had long hair, which I always thought weird for a man. It made him look so feminine. He gave me a weird vibe, like he was this witch in disguise.
The moment that he smiled and looked at the crowd, the crowd cheered.
"Liu Xin! Beat this imposter! Beat him!" one person shouted.
I looked at this and frowned. His fan following was far more than mine. That much was apparent. But to think that they would call me an imposter? Wasn\'t this too much?
"Junior brother. I appreciate that you have come this far. But it is time that your journey shall end. Although you have entered the Foundation Establishment stage, it is very much apparent that you have not stabilized your cultivation. There are many parts of your style that seem to coarse, too rough and unrefined. You are forcing yourself in many of the attacks. You are no match for me. I suggest that you end the fight here, or you shall be the one to suffer." Liu Xin said as he smiled.
"Nothing can be set in concrete. After all, there are many moves of mine that you have yet to see truly. And those moves are much, much more powerful than the last." I smiled back.
"Let the fight start." the judge said as he retreated. With that, I quickly moved. I sensed danger immediately, so I took a few steps back. And I was right. Liu Xin reappeared just a few inches from where I stood with a sword in his hands.
"Look like you are also a sword person." I chuckled. I gripped my spear and jumped to the other side of the ring. I wanted to put as much distance between me and him as possible. That was the most advantageous position for me.
I readied myself, and my spear started moving. Liu Xin was fast. He covered the gap between me and him within seconds, but this time, I was prepared for him. My spear flew towards his neck. He twisted his wrist, barely defending.
He then stepped back and unleashed a barrage of attacks. I started twirling my spear to defend against them.
"Heaven Returning Strike!" he shouted. I felt a tingling sensation at the back. Something dangerous was coming. I skid to the side, and then I saw what had happened. Liu Xin was not equal to me in power. He was much, much more powerful than me. His sword, the attack, was strong enough to put a dent on the ground. I looked at this with shock. To think that after so much hard work, I was still not strong enough!
But the fight was not over yet. I had to move fast, and try to win. I could not give up now. I had to give myself a chance. Qi flew through my hand into the spear.
Blue Dragon Spear Art, first strike!
All of a sudden, a blue halo appeared around me. Everyone could hear the growl of a dragon come from the spear, and a faint image of the majestic beast appeared above me. Even Liu Xin looked at this with a stunned face. This was the strike that I was most proficient with, and the one strike that I could unleash the maximum potential from.
"He has achieved mastery of this art! Where did he learn it?" an old man at the front rows of the stage shouted with shock. I recognized him. He was one of the elders. But that was not my concern. I thrust my spear forward, straight at Liu Xin. But Liu Xin did not dodge. Instead, he unleashed his own attack.
"Swan Feather Sword!" he shouted. I felt a gust of wind all of a sudden. I could see that he also achieved a mastery of his own attack, and this one was a more gentle sword. My spear felt soft, and it slowly halted right before Liu Xin. It refused to go any further.
"How did you do that?" I was confused. I quickly took back the spear and took a defensive stance.
"Like I told you, Junior brother. I am not someone you can handle. Although you have shown that you are capable of so much, you are not capable of defeating me right now. It is just not possible as of yet." he smiled as he approached me.
Blue Dragon Spear Art, second strike!
The spear glided and it was about to strike his neck. But then, his sword flew up, and it started circling the spear, barely touching it at the shaft head. The spear slowed once more. It was just uncanny. The spear ground to a halt once more.
Liu Xin disappeared from where he stood, and his sword reappeared right in front of my eyes. I quickly let go of the spear and ducked, barely escaping the sword. But the sword still turned and scraped my shoulder.
The pain was manageable, and no blood came out. This was the result of the Iron Body art. I took the spear back into my hands and rolled to the other side of the ring. I looked at him apprehensively.
"He\'s strong!" I whispered.
