Chapter 102 - 83: Easily Resolving the Battle, the Fiancée’s Mockery

"Junior Brother Tian, I didn’t expect you’d have time to come and watch the competition, hehe~" a simple and honest voice suddenly came from behind, causing the young man to snap back to reality. He saw Niu Yuanshan walking towards him, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his face, "Second Brother, the Eight-Year War is a big event in the sect, how could I not come? Besides, I haven’t seen an exciting match in a long time, and I’m feeling quite bored." Niu Yuanshan warmly patted the young man’s shoulder, naturally drawing the attention of many young disciples around them. "Who is he? How come I’ve never seen him before?" A young boy asked, puzzled. "Yeah, it seems like he’s about the same age as Second Brother and them. Could he be a senior brother who stayed behind?" "Possibly. In any case, I’ve never seen him before. I wonder if he’s any good?" Listening to the curious discussions of the youth around them, the young man couldn’t help but smile. Niu Yuanshan laughed heartily, putting his arm around his shoulder as they walked, "These kids are just full of curiosity. If they focused that energy on cultivating, maybe they’d be Beast Warriors by now!" "Second Brother, you’re still so fond of joking. How many fourteen or fifteen-year-olds can become Beast Warriors?" The young man shook his head, smiling. "Hey, Junior Brother Tian, you seem to underestimate people. Honestly, our Carefree Sect has indeed produced such a genius~!" Tianyi was startled, frowning slightly, "Is there really such a person?" "Look, see that little guy in the first arena? His name is Su Chen, and he’s the genius I was talking about." Niu Yuanshan said with a smile, "I’m really envious of the senior brother, having such a strong subordinate." Tianyi looked over and saw Su Chen again. However, this time Su Chen was fiercely battling with a young man half a head taller than him. The tightly interwoven Seven Styles of Wind Shadow he was wielding were fierce yet carried a unique flexibility with them; it really had a touch of the wind’s elegance, which left Tianyi quite surprised. "The Seven Styles of Wind Shadow, combining hardness with softness, not bad~" Tianyi shook off his surprise and said with a faint smile. Niu Yuanshan, observing his expression, secretly felt pleased, thinking to himself that he would know Su Chen’s true strength when the finals came around. "Junior Brother Tian, have you made any progress with the ’Phantom Moon Codex?’ The master has been nagging you to try again at the Celestial Peak Sect." Tianyi laughed helplessly and shook his head, "No, it’s too hard to comprehend. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t come to Mei Peak just once a year. I’ve been away so long that the sunlight here hurts my eyes." Niu Yuanshan encouraged him by patting his shoulder, "No worries, haste makes waste, cultivation can’t be rushed. Besides, you’re still young, you have plenty of time~" Tianyi gratefully nodded. "Hello, Second Brother." A few gracefully beautiful young girls happened to walk over, sweetly greeting Niu Yuanshan and Tianyi as they approached. Niu Yuanshan cheerfully said, "Hello, where are you all headed?" "We’re going to cheer on Senior Sister Tanyue. She’s over at the second arena. Her first match today is against Senior Sister Lanshang’s most formidable disciple, Huo Yunxin!" One of the young girls with an oval face said with a bright smile. Niu Yuanshan widened his eyes, then laughed out loud, "That Lanshang woman, better not to provoke her. I was kicked last time, and it still hurts!" The group of girls giggled and laughed, greeting him before gradually walking away. Tianyi sympathetically patted Niu Yuanshan’s shoulder, "Second Brother, Senior Sister Lanshang still has that temperament. I really sympathize with you and the senior brother..." "But her disciples are indeed excellent. That Huo Yunxin ranked fourth in the last new disciple training, and her brother Huo Yunfeng is also impressive, coming second right after Long Fei!" "Long Fei?" Tianyi said in surprise, "Aren’t you talking about that Su Chen?" Niu Yuanshan suddenly leaned towards Tianyi’s ear, whispering, "Let me tell you a secret, Su Chen is our Carefree Sect’s secret weapon. His Beast Cultivator strength isn’t something to be easily revealed~" "So what level is he at, Second Brother?" Despite Tianyi’s calm nature, he couldn’t help but get a little anxious. "Hehe, next time, next time you treat me to a meal when we descend the mountain, and I’ll tell you!" Niu Yuanshan chuckled smugly and headed towards the third arena. Tianyi watched his back with an amused yet helpless expression, thinking to himself, Second Brother is still so humorous, but his personality makes him really easy to get along with. The thought of leaving here filled his heart with some reluctance. Just as he was about to head to the first arena to watch Su Chen’s match, he suddenly spotted several tall and slender figures emerging at the entrance of the plaza ahead! His heart instantly tightened, and his gaze became unusually serious. At the same time, Chang Zhichun and Leng Xing, who had been patrolling the arena, also began to walk steadily towards the entrance. Tianyi turned to look back, noticing that Niu Yuanshan, who had been watching the match in the third arena, was now hastily running towards the Phantom Moon Pavilion where their teacher’s wife resided, looking quite flustered. "It’s them..." Gradually, he stood in line with Chang Zhichun and Leng Xing, drawing the attention of the disciples in the plaza. The three of them walked steadily towards the approaching figures. "Who are those people? They have such a strong presence!" A voice from the crowd. "They sure are strong. Didn’t you see how serious the senior brother and others are? I’ve never seen him so nervous before..." Another flat-headed boy said in surprise. Hearing this, Su Yu and his group, who had yet to compete, along with Huo Yunfeng and Huo Yunfei, all curiously watched the figures slowly approaching in the distance. "What kind of people could actually make the senior brother this nervous? Hmph, I bet they’re just some guys who love showing off."
