Chapter 71 - 65: Agree or Not, A Threat from the Powerful?

"Junior Brother Leng Xing, your stubbornness is acting up again." Niu Yuanshan remarked with some frustration. Leng Xing let out a low grunt, unconcerned, "He’s the one boasting; I’m just teaching him what humility means." With that, he cast a cold glance at Su Chen, speaking indifferently, "I won’t use Beast’s Qi Energy. If you can touch any part of me besides my hands and feet, you win; but if you lose, you have to shout ’Long live the Carefree Sect’ a hundred times in front of me." Su Chen blinked, slightly dumbfounded. This cold-looking Leng Xing, how could he be so childish? Shouting ’Long live the Carefree Sect’ a hundred times? "So, do you agree or not?" Leng Xing urged. Su Chen gritted his teeth, "Fine, as you say, if I lose, I’ll shout ’Long live the Carefree Sect’ a hundred times! But can we go somewhere else? There are too many people here." "Do you think dealing with you will take me a long time?" Leng Xing sneered. Anger rose in Su Chen’s heart, his competitive spirit stirred, and he clenched his fists, "Fine, right here, let me see how many moves it takes for you to defeat me!" Niu Yuanshan smiled helplessly, thinking, how come both of them are so stubborn, like several bulls tugging against each other. He could only stand aside, prepared to watch a one-sided match. Although he felt sympathy for Su Chen, he was well aware of his junior brother’s power. A Four-Star Beast Venerable, a level nearing the Beast King threshold, even looking across the whole sect, only a handful could subdue him. This kid, who looks no older than ten, Leng Xing will probably settle him with one punch, right? "I’m about to strike, don’t run away." Leng Xing’s lips carried a slight contempt. Su Chen’s breathing intensified, his gaze firmly locked on the leisurely posing Leng Xing. Suddenly, Leng Xing moved, like a shadow swiftly crossing before his eyes! In the blink of an eye, they brushed past each other! Su Chen stood several meters away from Leng Xing, his face pale, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. Leng Xing turned around, full of disbelief in his expression. That last attack, he didn’t use Beast’s Qi Energy, but he increased his speed by thirty to forty percent, yet this weak-looking child actually dodged it? "No way, this kid... when did he dodge?" Niu Yuanshan was also shocked, staring wide-eyed at the short Su Chen in disbelief. In truth, Su Chen was also astonished. Without having learned defensive wind skills, that dodge just now had consumed most of his Beast’s Qi Energy to speed up, leaving him yet to recover. Moreover, he knew Leng Xing hadn’t given his all. This was under the condition that his opponent hadn’t used Beast’s Qi Energy; what if he had? He dared not think of the consequences... "Kid, quite a trick you’ve got there." Leng Xing unexpectedly praised with a slight smile. "You’re not bad either." Su Chen replied, not losing in momentum. "Sorry, I won’t hold back anymore, I’ll knock you down in one move!" Saying this, Leng Xing suddenly accelerated, even raising the dust from the ground! Su Chen made an instant decision, his Beast’s Qi Energy seamlessly aligning with the Wind Shadow Blade route, and suddenly, a pale cyan short blade appeared unbidden in his hand! "What?" Niu Yuanshan, who was watching, was shocked, "This kid, how does he know wind attribute skills!" Leng Xing also noticed, but it was already too late! His speed was near maximum, but his strength was less than thirty percent! The short blade glided swiftly across his body, bursting forth a small cluster of crimson in the air! Leng Xing felt a sharp pain, gritted his teeth, and twisted to dart away! Su Chen trembled within, thinking since it was all out in the open now, he might as well go for it! He retracted the Wind Shadow Blade, his Beast’s Qi Energy rapidly surging again, and suddenly, after the short blade disappeared from his hand, an azure wind vortex formed in his palms! Leng Xing noticed, his expression changed, halting his rushing body! It was at that moment, Su Chen shouted lowly, condensing half of his Beast’s Qi Energy into the wind vortex, causing Leng Xing to stagger forward! Then, under the incredulous gaze of Leng Xing and Niu Yuanshan, Su Chen made the clockwise spinning wind vortex abruptly switch directions! The sudden change made the forward-leaning Leng Xing tilt slightly to the right! Su Chen’s eyes flashed with starlight, channeling all remaining Beast’s Qi Energy, sped forward! Whoosh! A breeze passed. Su Chen tightly gripped the corner of Leng Xing’s clothes, pale-faced, "I... won..." Leng Xing stood there motionless, face turned away, making it impossible for Su Chen to see his expression. "You won..." After a long while, he suddenly spoke. Then he stared directly at Su Chen, the icy light in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look even Niu Yuanshan had never seen before. "You spared me, which means I lost; I’ll shout ’long live the Carefree Sect’ a hundred times." Su Chen said wearily. But what he didn’t expect was Leng Xing’s face turned cold again, "I said you won, so you won. Push it further, and I’ll get angry." Su Chen: "..." Niu Yuanshan blinked, then quelled his inner excitement, smiling faintly, "Kid, you’re quite something, knowing wind attribute skills at such a young age..." Su Chen forced a smile, "So, can I leave now?" "Wait, don’t be in such a hurry to leave, look over there." Niu Yuanshan smiled, pointing towards the direction of the ring not far away, Su Chen followed his gaze and went into a daze. Everyone was staring blankly at him, the two on stage fighting intensely were visibly upset. What was going on, they were fighting so hard, but the audience was watching something else? Su Hutian looked at his son, his tiger eyes unblinking, with an expression mixed with shock and joy—a dramatically contradictory combination. It should be said, everyone in the Su Family was caught off guard, including Su Jie, Su Yu, Su Ya, Long Dan, and the Su Xue sisters. They looked at Su Chen as if they no longer knew him, filled with suspicion. "Sister, is that Su Chen?" Su Xue murmured. Su Yu did not respond, only widened her eyes, observing everyone’s expressions in the field. The entire Huo Yun family was silent. Huo Yunqing watched in shock as Su Chen, pale-faced, whose mind replayed the scene he had personally witnessed. Eight-year-old Su Chen, single-handedly, within a few rounds, injured Leng Xing, one of the top three disciples of the Carefree Sect... Huo Yunfeng breathed unevenly watching Su Chen, his eyes full of an emotion called jealousy. "Brother, Su Chen is amazing..." Huo Yunxin couldn’t contain her inner shock, covering her mouth. Unfortunately, Huo Yunfeng was still in the midst of an intense emotional fluctuation, not hearing what she said. That kid, with his short stature, had suddenly grown so much; Huo Yunfeng felt his mind surging and couldn’t calm down for a long time. "Feng’er, don’t take it too seriously, he just has an innate Qilin bloodline, a slightly more advantageous starting point..." Huo Yunqing consoled his son, but couldn’t help but sigh, unsure whether his initial decision was right or wrong. Seated in the judges’ stand, Yue Dongbei and his wife, along with some high-ranking officers from Iron Stone City, had long left their seats, walking straight towards Su Chen. Su Hutian hurriedly followed along, his heart still pounding uncontrollably. If he wasn’t mistaken, just now his son used the Wind Shadow Blade and the wind vortex? Moreover, when he unleashed those skills, he didn’t even show the slightest sign of elemental flair? A large group approached mightily, leaving Su Chen momentarily unable to move, staring blankly.
