Chapter 378 - Qing Yuan Tiu
Qing Yuan Tiu didn’t mind Bin Tao’s words and simply focused on what she was doing. She raised her hands in front of her and took a quick breath. Before,
~WHOOSH~
A greenish wind formed on Qing Yuan Tiu’s palms as it shot straight at Bin Tao. The audience gasped in shock as they had not expected something like this. This was the first time a qi skill like this had been used since the start of the tournament.
~Bam~
~THUD~
The greenish wind hit Bin Tao like a truck and sent him flying out of the ring all the way to the wall of the seating area. His head hit the wall, and a crack was formed on the wall. As he slid down, a trail of blood was left behind.
~Gasp~
"She... did she kill him?" Someone in the audience said.
"HALT!" The referee ordered.
A couple of people went to check up on Bin Tao and found him to be unconscious, albeit alive.
"He’s alive!" The helpers said.
~Ching~
Another sound was heard as the six metal rods withdrew back into Qing Yuan Tiu’s bulky clothes.
"Good observation, junior brother." Fa Lao said with an approving gaze. "That is indeed the Gale River Palm." He confirmed.
"But isn’t that Qi skill said to be incomplete and imbalanced? Its force is not restrained and affects the user as well as the enemy." Another junior disciple asked.
"You are correct. But that was exactly why she had used those metal rods there, to support her and overcome the flaw of the Qi skill." Fa Lao explained.
Lin Mu heard this too and found the explanation to be the same as that of Senior Xukong. He couldn’t help but look at Qing Yuan Tiu who was walking towards one of the seats in the corner of the seating area. She sat there alone without anyone around her, which only made her look more beautiful.
The other people in the audience were also mesmerized by her strength and beauty and thus were watching her.
"We shall start the next match now!" The referee announced, which made Lin Mu snap out of his thoughts.
The rest of the audience too looked on at the cylindrical container in his hand that he was shaking. Lin Mu watched on with a keen eye as he wanted to see if he would be chosen, but he was not.
"Nie Li and Gen Ma will be the next contestants. The last remaining contestant will be proceed to the next round directly." The referee declared.
~Sigh~
"I guess it is not time for me yet..." Lin Mu muttered.
Wu Hei heard his words and secretly took a breath of relief. He had intentionally made some changes to the random draw. Lin Mu’s name had been removed by him so that he could proceed till to the next round directly. He knew that Enlai Lan and Qing Yuan Tiu would be creating some waves at the very start, and this did not want to let Lin Mu’s capabilities be exposed straight away.
But he had let the second round be normal, as he knew that people would get suspicious if Lin Mu got the free pass multiple times.
"Who’s the last contestant, though? Do we know?" Someone from the audience asked.
"Probably someone new if we don’t know about it. No need to mention them since they won by default." Another person who seemed to be part of Enlai Lana’s faction said.
Lin Mu was carefully hearing everything and was keeping an eye. He heard these words too but didn’t mind them. He had far too many important things to deal with right now.
