Chapter 159: Who Are You Fighting For?
Lan Xinyu was stunned. She never thought that Ling Chuxi would actually say such things. Could it be that Ling Chuxi was not angry at all?
This was originally a fair competition, but their opponents were trying to use underhanded methods. If they were being unscrupulous, shouldn’t she be upset and angry? Why was she was so calm at the moment? Furthermore, the words Ling Chuxi said were like a huge rock landing on Lan Xinyu’s heart, opening up a new world before her.
“Lan Xinyu, remember. True fairness does not exist in this world. The so-called fairness is determined by the strong. In this world, there is no absolute good or bad, no absolute righteousness or evil. Each person’s perspective is different. Today, I wish to win. The Luo family wishes to win too. Behind us is a family clan that needs our support. What you need to do, is protect your own heart and initial intentions. Even though some things were done under conditions that allowed no other choice, but you cannot give up on your own principles,” said Ling Chuxi.
She spoke slowly and completely seriously. Lan Xinyu’s expressions constantly changed along with Ling Chuxi’s words.
“Today, I am fighting for the Ling family. Perhaps, tomorrow you would have to fight for your Lan family. Do not retreat, do not give up. Remember this!”
Finally calm, Ling Chuxi gently exhaled a light breath.
Lan Xinyu kept silent and did not speak for a long time, but clenched the golden whip in her hand even tighter. When she raised her head to look straight ahead, her gaze had become more determined.
Ling Chuxi remembered the three people who would be fighting for the Luo family this time. Not only had they passed their family clan’s innate talent assessment, they had also passed the examinations of the White Stone Academy and were students there.
Their results during the previous experiential training competition were not bad. But it was said that they had not reported everything they found to be calculated in their results. Therefore, their true cultivation and abilities were not clear.
Once again, Ling Yichen stepped up to take the first match. The Luo family’s representative was called Luo Anqing, and his Battle Qi was already at Level-6 Pinnacle stage. Just based on superficial qualities, Ling Yichen would surely win.
However, Ling Chuxi understood that the win and loss of any battle could not be determined merely by the strength of one’s cultivation. Especially when the fight was between two people who did not have that great of a difference in their cultivation prowess. Things like the ability of using Battle Qi and one’s grasp of opportunities in battle were all critical factors in winning.
After the town head gave the cue to start, the two people standing in the fighting ring pulled out their swords. White coloured Battle Qi emitted from them, their might appearing majestic! The people watching concentrated their attention on this match. The young disciples focused especially hard, hoping to learn a thing or two from this fight.
Ling Yichen’s actual combat experience and his grasp of battle opportunities was not something Ling Chuxi was worried about. Instead, she was worried about the underhanded methods the Luo family might try to use. At the moment, nothing seemed to be wrong, but it was hard to guarantee that the Luo family would not suddenly cause difficulties. Ling Chuxi did not wish for something untoward to happen to Ling Yichen.
At this moment, he had already started to exchange blows with Luo Anqing. Ling Yichen’s handsome face had a cold seriousness as he waved his sword and rushed forward.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three fierce Sword Qi were directly released from the sword, becoming three sword afterimages that looked illusory. Setting off together with the actual sword that followed, it looked as if four swords were spliced out.
Martial Shadow Three Illusions!
Everyone on-site shuddered. Cultivators were able to release Battle Qi outwards after practicing martial skills. Although the Battle Qi was weak and it was difficult to injure anyone or defeat an enemy, it could preserve might and condense qi to increase battle power.
As Ling Yichen could so easily create three illusions, this told everyone that his cultivation had indeed reached Battle Qi Level-7!
