Chapter 379 - Etiquette Or Not?
Lin Mu could tell that Qing Yuan Tiu was going to be one of the finalists and if his guess was correct Enlai Lan would be the other. Unless he fought them first and one of them was eliminated. Lin Mu didn’t know how he would fare against Qing Yuan Tiu, as her fighting style wasn’t something he had seen before.
If Lin Mu were able to use his abilities, all it would take is a single Blink to eliminate Qing Yuan Tiu. She couldn’t move when she used her Gale River Palm and Lin Mu could dodge that easily with a blink. But being here meant that he would have to restrict himself to his sword skills and physical skills.
The Boulder collapsing fist was his most powerful attack, but it was also deadly and was a kill or be killed move. This tournament wasn’t meant to be a fight to the death anyway, and thus he couldn’t use that either.
’Using the short sword with my spirit sense would be enough to fight Qing Yuan Tiu, but there is no way she doesn’t have a method to deal with that as she’s from a sect.’ Lin Mu strategized.
The next round started rather quickly, and it began from the ones that had fought first. This time hate method to draw lots was a bit different. The first winner of the match would fight against the one whose name was drawn.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
"The contestant Muroung Ki will be fighting against... Nie Li!" The referee announced.
"Whoa, the first matches winner and last matches winner. This is an interesting combination." Someone from the crowd spoke.
"Though, Nie Lie will be at a disadvantage. He hasn’t had enough time to rest like Murong Ki." An old aristocrat stated as he stroked his beard.
Lin Mu heard these words but shook his head. He had seen the last fight and while it looked like Nie Li was tired, he wasn’t. He could sense their vital energy and could get a rough estimate from that. It definitely looked like Muroung Ki was still more tired than Nie Li.
"Hmm... Nie Li probably has a higher body tempering realm cultivation than Muroung Ki..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
"That is correct." Wu Hei said after hearing his words.
"I am?" Lin Mu questioned.
Both of them walked to the ring and Enlai Lan greeted Beilao Xin.
"I hope Lady Xin will take it easy on me." Enlai Lan stated.
"Ha ha~ I hope Lord Lan will do the same for this poor woman..." Beilao Xin replied.
Enlai Lan lightly chuckled before getting ready.
"FIGHT!" The referee ordered.
Unlike his previous gentleman like manners though, Enlai Lan was the first one to attack, and he attacked with full force. Beilao Xin seemed to not be expecting this, and her eyes went wide in shock. She hurriedly stepped aside to dodge the palm strike that was coming towards her, but still couldn’t do it fully.
~THWACK~
That palm strike turned into a reverse handed slap instead and hit Beilao Xin on her shoulder.
~Crack~
In just hit, her shoulder was broken and she shouted in pain. Taking opportunity of the time she was dazed due to the pain, Enlai Lan attacked once more and sent her shooting out of the ring.
"STOP! The winner is Enlai Lan!" The referee declared.
"LORD ENLAI LAN WON!" The people that were with Enlai Lan shouted.
"Ahaha! That’s what you get for not giving it your all." Wu Teng laughed as well.
He had seen how Enlai Lan acted before the fight, yet didn’t do the same during the fight. This was what Wu Teng liked. A tiger fighting at its full power even to kill a rabbit.
