TFHS: Chapter 181

Bai Qiaomo, Wu Liyan and Zong Yupao didn’t meet in this round, which disappointed the audience.

However, the time for their confrontation was definitely getting closer.

Bai Qiaomo’s battle against Qin Jian was very watchable. After Qin Jian claimed that he wanted to fight with Bai Qiaomo, many people knew about it and spread the news for him.

Without Bai Qiaomo, the dark horse, Qin Jian would’ve received more attention in this league.

A cultivator like him would also be a genius who attracted a lot of attention in Imperial City.

Qin Jian and Bai Qiaomo stood on the arena with many eyes watching.

Qin Jian met Bai Qiaomo after he came to Imperial City. By watching the arena battles, he had a certain understanding of Bai Qiaomo’s combat power.

However, Bai Qiaomo was very familiar with Qin Jian’s fighting style. At this time, he could close his eyes and know how Qin Jian would attack without using his soul power.

He had fought beside Qin Jian, but later he progressed too fast. By the time he was reborn, he didn’t know what Qin Jian’s situation was later.

He was reborn and came to Imperial City to participate in the league again. After hearing the name of the Liefeng Sect, he suddenly realized that he had a good friend called Qin Jian.

Bai Qiaomo sighed in his heart, but his face didn’t show any of it. He took out his weapon, the spear.

Qin Jian also held his broadsword tightly with fighting spirit in his eyes. As soon as the referee announced the start, Qin Jian attacked Bai Qiaomo without hesitation.

Zong Yupao, Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi were all watching this battle.

After noticing someone behind him, Ji Yuan turned his head and saw that it was the silver armored guard, Kong Zhao. He smiled and said, “Master Kong, are you here to watch Bai Qiaomo’s battle again? Master Kong pays a lot of attention to Bai Qiaomo.”

Zong Yupao and Qiu Yi nodded to him.

Kong Zhao smiled. “How many people wouldn’t pay attention to such a young hero? I just happened to be free. I heard about what happened in the morning, so I came to see if this kid is okay.”

Ji Yuan smiled. “Do you think the people fighting on the stage look like they are in trouble?”

Kong Zhao looked at it seriously and smiled. “That’s right. This person won’t let himself get into trouble.”

He checked and checked, but couldn’t find out where Bai Qiaomo learned spear techniques after leaving the Kunyuan Sect.

But in the battle on the stage, his spearmanship was very sophisticated and his fighting style very different from when he was in the Kunyuan Sect.

It should be said that Bai Qiaomo was more powerful now than when he was in the Kunyuan Sect.

However, many cultivators had their own secrets. It was possible that Bai Qiaomo had received some inheritance. How else would he know the prescription for repairing the dantian?

There were many people watching Bai Qiaomo’s fight, such as the young marquis Zong Yuyan, who was also watching in the stands.

A master in the essence dan realm beside him was commenting on the fight between Bai Qiaomo and Qin Jian for the young marquis.

“It looks very intense. Qin Jian is putting in all his effort and fighting heartily, but Bai Qiaomo gives people the feeling that he is at ease. It is hard to say how much effort he is putting in. Perhaps 80% or 60%, but this battle is very beneficial to Qin Jian.”

Zong Yuyan looked very emotional. “Who would’ve thought that the genius Bai Qiaomo, who was abandoned at the beginning, could get to this point today? The Kunyuan Sect can’t even participate in the league, but Bai Qiaomo is qualified to compete for the championship. I don’t know how the people in the Kunyuan Sect will regret it when the news is passed back.”

The elder smiled and said, “It isn’t just the Kunyuan Sect. I heard that even his biological father gave up on Bai Qiaomo.”

Zong Yuyan nodded. “Yes, after he was sent back by the Kunyuan Sect, he was thrown into a manor and ignored. Later, he married into the Feng family and the Bai family treated this person as nothing. Once the Bai family hears such news, they might think it was fake news made up by someone.”

The elder smiled and shook his head. The entire Bai family only had this one talent.

If the Bai family hadn’t given up on him, he alone might’ve brought the entire Bai family to a higher position.

It was a pity that the family was short-sighted and gave such a talent to the Feng family.

A cultivation genius and an alchemy genius. How did the Feng family of Gaoyang County get these two people together?

As the elder commented, Qin Jian did fight heartily and became more and more excited.

He didn’t need to restrain his strength and let go completely. No matter how sharp his attack was, Bai Qiaomo could take it.

He seemed to be facing a high mountain. He just needed to do his best to climb it without any other concerns.

He even found his shortcomings in the battle. The more he fought, the more he felt. After this battle, he might be able to make a breakthrough.

This was an opponent who seemed to know him very well. Qin Jian might not have time to think at this moment, but he would definitely notice it afterwards.

The two of them fought on the stage for half an hour. During this half an hour, Qin Jian had high-intensity output. He didn’t have to worry about any consequences such as Bai Qiaomo taking the opportunity to be ruthless to him and cause irreparable consequences.

At the end of the fight, Qin Jian could no longer draw out a trace of energy, so he jumped out of the battle circle and bowed. “Brother Bai, I admit defeat. Thank you, Brother Bai, for fighting against me in this match. I have no regrets. Once I break through, I hope to have another chance to fight with you.”

Bai Qiaomo put away his spear and clasped his fists together. “I will.”

“Haha, thank you, Brother Bai.” Qin Jian said before jumping off the stage.

“Bai Qiaomo won this battle.”

The result was surprising yet not surprising. It seems that with every battle, everyone’s perception of Bai Qiaomo’s strength would rise.

Now it wasn’t known how high his room for improvement was and when he would reach the limit. Perhaps only a battle against Wu Liyan or Zong Yupao would reveal it.

Among the twelve betting games outside, the odds of Bai Qiaomo winning the championship was still stubbornly at 1:5.

But the bookmakers behind them somehow felt a bit bad.

Zong Yupao was so strong that no one could defeat him. Bai Qiaomo might be invincible in the same level, but Zong Yupao was one level higher than him and was also good at leapfrogging levels.

There were fewer and fewer stages on the field. Finally, there were only two stages left. Then there was only one arena that had a fight going on.

Wu Liyan fought against Sun Yipeng and there was no suspense in her winning.

Sun Yipeng was severely beaten and was about to have a psychological shadow toward Miss Wu. He returned to the stands with a bitter expression.

Zong Yupao fought against his opponent, but the female cultivator admitted defeat directly after coming on stage. Zong Yupao automatically advanced again.

The final battle finally arrived. It would be fought between Bai Qiaomo, Wu Liyan, Zong Yupao and another cultivator called Xiang Kui.

It could be imagined that every battle would be thrilling and exciting.

The most tense moment came. This time, Bai Qiaomo drew Wu Liyan.

Wu Liyan was a bit unconvinced. “Why didn’t you draw that guy Zong Yupao instead? Do you think I’m not as strong as him?”

Bai Qiaomo smiled. “It is just luck. I also want to exchange ideas with Brother Zong.”

“Forget it, let’s fight. I’m telling you, I won’t show mercy. Be prepared to get hurt.”

Wu Liyan wasn’t lying. Her swordsmanship was tough and fierce. It was completely inconsistent with her image as a woman.

This led to her sometimes being unable to stop fighting in the arena, causing injuries to her opponents. This was inevitable. No contestant would have a problem with this because not everyone could control their strength freely.

Bai Qiaomo kept smiling. “I won’t show mercy with my spear either. I will try not to injure you.”

Wu Liyan clicked her tongue and didn’t say anything else. She jumped onto the stage with her broadsword on her shoulder, and Bai Qiaomo followed closely with the spear in his hand.

The moment the referee announced the start, Wu Liyan couldn’t wait to attack Bai Qiaomo. She slashed at him again and again.

Wu Liyan saw that she couldn’t underestimate Bai Qiaomo, so she used her ultimate move.

Everyone could see that her sword energy stacked one after another, and the attack power was multiplied.

If this happened in the previous battle, this single blow would’ve caused serious injuries to the opponent, leaving the opponent fighting against Wu Liyan with lingering fear. Fortunately, this eldest sister showed mercy to them.

Now in the constantly overlapping waves of sword energy, Bai Qiaomo was like a small boat floating on the waves. He would be overturned by the sword energies in the next moment and then chopped by Wu Liyan, who was constantly approaching.

However, Bai Qiaomo’s frequency of stabbing his spear was getting faster and faster. The long spear in his hand left after images that gathered at one point and stabbed at the approaching broadsword.

There was a bang and a huge air wave was set off on the stage. A sharp roar and an explosion sound was heard. Even the protective formation on the side of the arena flashed with light, rapidly extracting yuan energy to consolidate itself.

The audience stared with wide eyes. Both of them used their big moves at the beginning.

So who was better?

In the huge air wave, the figures of two people quickly retreated. Then they turned around in mid-air and attacked each other again.

This meant the two of them were evenly matched in this round.

As expected, Bai Qiaomo had the strength to compete with Wu Liyan and Zong Yupao. The violent woman, who used the tough broadsword technique, was even yelling with excitement. It was obvious that she was having a great time.

In the audience, Ji Yuan wanted to cover his eyes. This woman really didn’t have any thoughts of hiding anything and only cared about having a great time.

Qiu Yi was also surprised. “This Bai Qiaomo is really amazing. He can fight with Senior Sister Wu to such an extent.”

Ji Yuan nodded. “I am also surprised. It is said that Qin Jian becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent. This Bai Qiaomo is obviously even stronger at this aspect and he is only in the late stage of the essence liquid realm. If they are in the same realm, Wu Liyan definitely won’t be as good as him.”

Qiu Yi was nervous. “What about now?”

He was worried that Senior Sister Wu would lose. Then what would be the result when Bai Qiaomo competed with Zong Yupao on the same stage?

Ji Yuan shook his head. “It is hard to say, but I think Zong Yupao should be eager to fight Bai Qiaomo.”

Qiu Yi immediately turned to look at Zong Yupao. Sure enough, the league had been going on until now and this was the first time he showed fighting spirit in his eyes.

An alchemist couldn’t understand this feeling.
