Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Xia Liu Takes the Stage Xia Liu’s actions scared many people, as a low-rank martial artist dared to treat a supreme martial artist so unreasonably. In the entire Warrior Realm, he was probably the only one. Actually, Xia Liu covered Lin Xiaotian with the bamboo hat because disciples from the Immeasurable Sect had arrived. If by chance these disciples discovered Lin Xiaotian, the ensuing issues would have been troublesome. Therefore, before entering the Library Pavilion to acquire the cultivation technique, Lin Xiaotian could not be exposed. Lin Xiaotian certainly understood Xia Liu’s thoughts; he had sensed the Immeasurable Sect disciples approaching the pavilion earlier. Even if Xia Liu hadn’t reminded him, he would have concealed his energy. “My friends, it’s about time, please head to the Martial Combat Arena.” The disciples of the Immeasurable Sect, sensing some heaviness in the air when they arrived, were puzzled but had no reason to interfere in others’ affairs. Only after those disciples had left did the Sect Leaders and Family Heads at the scene come back to their senses. “Family Head Ye really keeps a low profile, that family member’s cultivation has already reached such a level.” “Indeed, a hero is young, a Half-Step Earth Rank Peak, terrifying!” “Hehe, thanks to Family Head Ye for not wanting to bully the weak, otherwise if that family member participated in the Martial Combat, who could have won?” “Right, right! We should thank Family Head Ye.” … Listening to the surrounding Sect Leaders and Family Heads’ words of thanks, Ye Yongyuan smiled without speaking. Although Lin Xiaotian was not a member of the Ye Family, this face-saving move had indeed earned the Ye Family prestige, making this trip worthwhile! That so-called Family Head Luo had retreated to a corner as soon as Lin Xiaotian released his pressure. He was merely at Mid-Level Peak Earth Rank, and previously, Ye Yongyuan and Ye Tian could still resist him. Now that an Earth-Rank High-Level Peak martial artist had appeared directly in the Ye family, if he provoked Ye Yongyuan again, whether he could return to his family at all was another matter. As for those Earth-Rank warriors who had boarded the ship with Ye Yongyuan at Beisong City, they, too, smiled without speaking. They had guessed that the final outcome would be very embarrassing for Luo Dao and others, who had come to cause trouble. Lin Xiaotian was an Earth-Rank High-Level Peak martial artist and to be honest, if he had a worse temper, Luo Dao and others would probably have died; Mysterious Rank martial artists offending the dignity of Earth Rank martial artists could only end in death. “Lin Yu, it seems that Ye family’s Xia Liu is very secretive, you…” “Don’t worry, he seems to be at Mysterious Rank Mid-Level; I can definitely beat him.” On the way to the Martial Combat Arena, Lin Yu kept observing Xia Liu from behind. He had been informed of Xia Liu’s cultivation level by the Sect Leader, so he was confident he would win this match. Even if Xia Liu’s brother was at Earth-Rank High-Level Peak, what of it? The person he was fighting was Xia Liu. Mysterious Rank Mid-Level against Mysterious Rank Peak, the outcome was without doubt. Soon, everyone arrived back at the Martial Combat Arena. The final ten martial artists with a chance to advance stepped forward, each aware of who their opponent was. Among these ten, the lowest in cultivation was Xia Liu, at Mysterious Rank Mid-Level. The highest was Lin Yu, at Mysterious Rank Peak! Just one step away from advancing to Earth Rank. However, these two with the greatest disparity in cultivation were actually martial combat opponents! “Everyone has arrived, so I announce the continuation of the Martial Combat!” Looking down at the ten neatly standing fighters, Mo Feng shouted loudly, “The battle for five spots begins, first match: Ye Family’s Xia Liu versus Meteor Sect’s Lin Yu!” Following Mo Feng’s announcement, Xia Liu and Lin Yu stepped onto the platform from opposite staircases. As for Luo Dao and many other martial artists who had been intimidated by Lin Xiaotian, they looked at Xia Liu with a great deal of hatred in their eyes. From beginning to end, they had not seen Xia Liu make a move. If it hadn’t been for Lin Xiaotian’s terrifying intervention just now, they believed they could have easily crushed Xia Liu. “Hehe, Family Head Ye has arrived at Xia Liu’s side. I wonder what kind of confidence he has to participate in the martial combat!” “Haha, let’s not even talk about that Earth-Rank High-Level youth just now. No matter how you look at it, Xia Liu seems to have only a Mysterious Rank Mid-Level cultivation. The outcome is already clear.” “I heard that the Meteor Sect’s Stellar Scar Fist is extremely fast. If Xia Liu is only at a Mysterious Rank Mid-Level cultivation, he probably won’t last more than a few seconds.” Hearing the discussion of the Earth-Rank warriors around them, those Earth-Rank warriors who knew some details about Xia Liu all laughed. “Sense it for a moment. What rank is that young man from the Ye Family who just released that pressure?” No one knew who said this, but Lin Xiaotian suddenly became the focus of the present Earth-Rank warriors. They all released their inner Qi to sense, and the next second, they all furrowed their brows. At this moment, Lin Xiaotian was actually only at Mysterious Rank Mid-Level cultivation! What does this mean? He had a secret technique to hide his cultivation. Suddenly, some insightful martial artists thought back to the previous combats, where the young martial artists fighting against Xia Liu had all conceded. This was definitely not a coincidence, but because they knew the details about Xia Liu, they knew how terrifying he was! These words were whispered quietly, and everyone couldn’t help but gasp. Terrible! Indeed terrible. If Xia Liu, like Lin Xiaotian, was hiding an Earth-Rank High-Level or even Earth-Rank Peak cultivation, then this martial combat would become truly dreadful. “Family Head Ye is really keeping his cards close to his chest. It seems this year’s martial combat champion will be from the Ye Family.” “Alas… When will our sect produce such a talented youth…” After understanding the situation, many sect leaders and family heads started to complain. But as the fight on the stage began, they became puzzled again because Xia Liu’s energy remained at Mysterious Rank Mid-Level from start to finish! Bang! Their palms met, Xia Liu and Lin Yu both retreated to the edges of the arena. “Haha, if you’re just at Mysterious Rank Mid-Level, then I have surely won this bout!” After testing a few moves, Lin Yu had confirmed that Xia Liu truly only had Mysterious Rank Mid-Level cultivation. Not only did Lin Yu confirm this, but the Earth-Rank warriors below were also so surprised that they couldn’t close their mouths. Before, they had thought Xia Liu was hiding his cultivation, but seeing Lin Yu overpowering him made them all astonished. “This isn’t necessarily the case. Who says cultivation determines everything? Energy may be fundamental, but martial arts skills are also extremely important,” Xia Liu said with a faint smile in response to Lin Yu’s assured words. “Oh? So you’re saying that you can compensate for your foundational weakness with martial arts skills?” Lin Yu became interested, thinking it was probably the coldest joke he had ever heard. In the Warrior Realm, who doesn’t know that the foundation is where a martial artist’s strength lies? No matter how cunning your martial arts skills may be, a strong inner Qi is enough to shatter any martial arts skills. “Haha, I can’t believe he would say such a ridiculous thing.” “Hmph, had it not been for someone protecting him, he would have been fixed up earlier.” “All of you, keep your voices down. Do you want to die?” The young men who had gone with Luo Dao to trouble Xia Liu, unable to stand Xia Liu’s pretense, murmured quietly among themselves. Not only them, but the Earth-Rank warriors in the audience who did not know the details about Xia Liu also continuously discussed the matter. They didn’t think Xia Liu could win over Lin Yu, who was at Mysterious Rank Peak, with only Mysterious Rank Mid-Level cultivation, no matter how powerful his martial arts skills were.
