Chapter 1020: Fame
Seeing Zi Mingyue vomit blood and retreat, everyone sighed and shook their heads. Zi Mingyue was basically done for.
Although everyone could see that Zi Mingyue was already trying her best, her strength still could not be compared to Lu Xuan.
Zi Mingyue had used all kinds of trump cards, but Lu Xuan’s simple attack alone was enough to severely injure Zi Mingyue.
The difference in strength was very obvious.
Obviously, Lu Xuan was on a different level compared to Zi Mingyue, even though she was already vastly stronger than ordinary gold immortals.
Lu Xuan did not continue to pursue her but just stared at her.
Zi Mingyue steadied herself, took a few deep breaths, and said, “Thank you for showing mercy!”
At this time, Zi Mingyue understood that Lu Xuan was showing mercy.
Just now, Lu Xuan clearly could have taken advantage of the win to pursue and attack. If Lu Xuan had taken advantage of the win to pursue and attack, she would definitely have been defeated. If that were to happen, she would not be in her current state. She would definitely be in a very sorry state instead.
Compared to Lu Xuan’s indifference, she was really in a very sorry state.
She did not know how a monster like Lu Xuan could exist. If it was in the previous years, she would have easily won the championship. However, there were simply too many geniuses this year.
Even for her, she could only make it into the top 100 before being defeated. Originally, she could have made it into the top 20 before she met a strong opponent.
Who knew that she would meet an existence like Lu Xuan who had been pretending to be weak.
However, Lu Xuan was so strong that he probably had a high chance of becoming the champion in the end. It was not shameful to lose to the champion. However, no matter how unwilling she was to give in, she understood that there was a big gap between hers and Lu Xuan’s strength.
To be able to fight until now, Lu Xuan was already showing mercy!
When she thought back on those that Lu Xuan had defeated previously, which one of them wasn’t left miserable by his hands? Other than those who had admitted defeat at the beginning, the others were miserable. There were even some who had been beaten to death by Lu Xuan on the spot. On the other hand, there were not many who would be so kind to her.
Could it be that he likes me!?
Zi Mingyue suddenly thought of this and her pretty face immediately blushed. When she looked at Lu Xuan’s sharp and angular face, he suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
In her life, she had seen all kinds of outstanding men. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that they were all very different from Lu Xuan. They couldn’t be compared to him at all.
For a time, Zi Mingyue actually fell into a fantasy. Suddenly, she heard Lu Xuan on the opposite side cough twice. Only then did she come back to her senses. She was still within the enchantment ring.
Instantly, Zi Mingyue’s cheeks were somewhat bashful.
Many people were dumbfounded. Many of them had watched Zi Mingyue’s battle since a long time ago. They had never seen Zi Mingyue’s shy side.
When they saw Zi Mingyue staring fixedly at Lu Xuan, they couldn’t take it anymore.
“Where’s my saber? I want to chop him to death!”
“If you can’t beat him, you’ll be beaten to death!”
“I… Do you believe me when I say that I’ll use a knife to repair my legs?”
Countless people were stunned by Zi Mingyue’s sudden shyness. Even Lu Xuan was a little baffled. He touched his cheek. Could it be that there was something on his face?
It couldn’t be. He was already an immortal, and he could be said to be untainted by dust. How could he possibly be tainted by anything?
She was crazy!
“Thank you for showing mercy, Brother Lu!” Zi Mingyue said as she straightened up. “I admit defeat!”
“Okay!”
Lu Xuan nodded. He didn’t know that Zi Mingyue had already imagined a large-scale love drama in her mind just now.
In the eyes of others, she was simply cruel and merciless. She would do anything to win, but Lu Xuan didn’t think so. He felt that she was still quite normal. She wasn’t some crazy killer.
Those people he had fought previously had been wanting to kill him every day, or take him in as a slave. Of course, he would not show mercy to any of them.
However, Zi Mingyue had repeatedly tried to save his face. Although he did not know Lu Xuan’s strength, Lu Xuan still appreciated this good intention.
“In the future, if Brother Lu has the opportunity to come to the Zi Family, Mingyue will definitely welcome you!” Zi Mingyue cupped her fists and said. “I wish Brother Lu a victory and may you return as the champion!”
“Thank you for your kind words, fairy!”
Lu Xuan had a puzzled look on his face. However, since the other party had shown goodwill, Lu Xuan was naturally not a person who did not know what was good for him.
Zi Mingyue disappeared from the barrier stage, leaving Lu Xuan to obtain the final victory. After that, Lu Xuan also left the barrier stage through the teleportation token.
“It’s over just like that? Isn’t this a little too childish?”
Someone said with a dumbfounded expression. This style was a little strange. They had already killed their way into the top 100. Who wouldn’t want to advance further? Every time they got closer to the championship, the treatment they would receive in the future would be like the difference between heaven and earth.
But no matter how one looked at it, the two of them still seemed a little gentle, respectful, and thrifty toward each other.
Could it be that the devil, Lu Xuan, had become soft?
“In the end, it’s Lu Xuan’s strength that has crushed Zi Mingyue!”
“That’s right. If I didn’t feel the gap personally myself from all the way down here, I don’t think Zi Mingyue would have admitted defeat so easily!”
“No one expected Lu Xuan to have such strength. Hehe, he was previously claimed to be the strongest person below the gold immortal realm. Now, it’s clear that he’s not the strongest person below the gold immortal realm. He’s actually a gold immortal!”
“He hid it so well. If he hadn’t met Zi Mingyue this time, he probably wouldn’t have exposed the fact that he’s already a gold immortal!”
“What a pity. I wanted to see how far this dark horse can go, but now it seems that he won’t have such a chance. He’s not a dark horse at all. With his strength, he might even have some hope of winning the championship!”
Someone sighed.
“If his background wasn’t too bad, he would have become famous long ago!”
“But now his background has been fixed. I heard that he has already joined the Great Void Pavilion. As expected, such a genius will definitely be valued by the first-rate sects. It’s impossible for second-and third-rate sects like us to pick up any scraps!”
The battle between Lu Xuan and Zi Mingyue soon came to an end, but the impact of this battle was spreading at an alarming speed.
Lu Xuan, who had the title of the strongest one below the Gold Immortal realm, suddenly had this title crushed. He was actually a gold immortal.
In an instant, Lu Xuan was on the headlines of many intelligence reports.
Especially the experts who were determined to win the championship in the end, almost all of them received the news quickly.
Lu Xuan had defeated Zi Mingyue and made it into the top 50. Almost all of them among these top 50 were gold immortals, except for a few lucky half-step gold immortals.
There were not many records of them fighting each other, and it was even rarer for Lu Xuan to have a real record of defeat.
Instantly, Lu Xuan became the name everyone in the Heaven Realm knew and were discussing, and his reputation soared.
