Chapter 609: Debut
At the moment the match began, Wen Yan’s eyes sharpened, then she swung the long whip in her hand fiercely towards Yang Tiancai not far away.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Whoosh!
The lingering shadow of the whip whistled, and in an instant, it arrived beside Yang Tiancai.
“Hehe!”
Seeing this, Yang Tiancai grinned, then he suddenly exerted force with his feet, leaping into the air to dodge the oncoming whip.
Before becoming Xiao Shun’s disciple, he was almost famous for selling pellets, and his strength was not remarkable. However, after the “discipline” from Song Linger these days, his cultivation was incomparable to his past.
Even though facing the talented youth of the Wen family, Yang Tiancai remained undaunted.
After evading Wen Yan’s fierce whip, he didn’t retreat but instead advanced, closing in on her.
“Hmph, is that all?”
Wen Yan sneered, then flicked her wrist. The whip that had missed its mark changed direction, attacking from behind Yang Tiancai.
“You little brat, let me show you my prowess!”
Being looked down upon like this, Yang Tiancai was extremely annoyed.
Immediately after, he snorted in anger, instantly activating his protective energy shield, intending to directly withstand Wen Yan’s whip.
“Just a guy who sells pellets, why should I bother competing with him?”
Disdainful, Wen Yan’s eyes turned cold, her strength increasing.
Smack!
The whip heavily struck Yang Tiancai’s protective energy shield, producing a loud and crisp sound.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Wen Yan was stunned, staring blankly at Yang Tiancai’s intact protective energy shield.
She had put a lot of strength into that whip just now. A regular practitioner’s energy shield couldn’t have withstood that whip, but this pellet seller managed to do so?
Looking at Wen Yan’s slightly bewildered expression, Yang Tiancai smirked, “Hehe, surprised, aren’t you?”
As he spoke, he raised his palm and then activated his energy shield, launching it towards the distracted Wen Yan.
Under the arena, Xiao Shun withdrew his gaze from the match and looked at Song Linger, who was focused on the screen, and said, “Looks like you haven’t spared your efforts in training your junior these days!”
Hearing this, Song Linger smiled.
“No way, my junior was simply too unskilled. If I wanted a good sparring partner, I had to train him as quickly as possible.”
Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly. He was well aware of Yang Tiancai’s previous capabilities, and there was no way he could be this powerful on the arena now!
He didn’t know how Song Linger had trained him, but she had managed to train her junior in such a short time.
After thinking for a moment, he had an idea in mind.
So, he smiled and said to Song Linger, “Did you make your junior a guinea pig?”
“How did you know?” Song Linger looked embarrassed.
Xiao Shun smiled wryly, “Hehe, besides pellets, what other way is there to rapidly improve someone’s strength in such a short time?”
This was a very obvious thing!
It was well known that cultivation itself was a gradual process, but there was a shortcut in this process.
Using pellets to enhance cultivation was undoubtedly a method for many practitioners to rapidly gain powerful strength.
Due to her alchemy background, Song Linger had received quite a few natural treasures from Xiao Shun. Moreover, she also possessed some extraordinary formulations, conditions sufficient to lay the foundation for Yang Tiancai’s increased strength.
“Indeed, a master is a master; nothing escapes your eyes!”
Caught red-handed, Song Linger didn’t deny it and readily admitted to the matter. In fact, she had wanted to use this matter to gain some credit with Xiao Shun, but she hadn’t even spoken, and her master had already seen through her.
“One should not excessively rely on pellets, as it can lead to dependency. Cultivation requires gradual progress in order to establish a solid foundation.” Xiao Shun spoke with emphasis and depth.
“I understand!” Song Linger stuck out her tongue, looking like she had learned a great deal.
“Ah!”
Just as the two were conversing, Wang Yao, who had been engrossed in watching the match on the screen, suddenly exclaimed.
Immediately, the two focused their gaze once again on the ongoing match!
On the stage, Yang Tiancai finally broke through Wen Yan’s fierce attacks and arrived in front of her.
“Hehe, it’s over!”
With a light laughter, Yang Tiancai heavily slapped the panicked Wen Yan.
And the reason Wang Yao had exclaimed earlier was due to this scene.
Wen Yan’s strength was well known to Wang Yao; although her whip technique was superb, her hand-to-hand combat skills were extremely weak.
Being ambushed by Yang Tiancai at this moment naturally meant trouble for her.
As a result, Wen Yan, facing Yang Tiancai’s fierce assault, became flustered and at a loss. Due to the close distance, her whip was ineffective, and she could only watch as Yang Tiancai’s hand print landed on her shoulder.
“Aren’t you going to admit defeat yet?”
Looking at the pale-faced but determined Wen Yan, Yang Tiancai hesitated slightly, and the force of his palm diminished.
Wen Yan, full of determination, said, “My big brother won’t let you off. He will avenge me!”
“Hmph, I’m not afraid of him at all!”
With that, Yang Tiancai’s expression turned extremely serious as he heavily patted Wen Yan’s shoulder.
In that moment, all the energy contained in his palm burst forth onto Wen Yan’s delicate shoulder.
“Ah!”
In pain, Wen Yan let out a miserable cry as she fell off the stage.
In this battle, Yang Tiancai emerged victorious. Despite his graceful final move, he had been constrained by Wen Yan all along.
After all, her whip was just too agile, making it quite challenging for him within a certain range.
Even so, with his extensive combat experience, Yang Tiancai took a risk and managed to advance to Wen Yan’s position, and from there, the advantage was his.
At the same time, in the preparation area, Wen Xuan glared angrily at Xiao Shun.
“How dare your people injure my sister!”
Xiao Shun, expressionless, said, “Fighting has no mercy. If you’re afraid of getting hurt, what kind of cultivator would you be?”
“Fine, very well!”
Wen Xuan’s gaze darkened as he stared fixedly at the nonchalant Xiao Shun, and said coldly, “I hope that when Yang Tiancai is severely injured by me in the next round, you’ll speak to me the same way!”
At this, Xiao Shun calmly stated, “You won’t have the chance to encounter him, because your next opponent is me.”
With that, he stood up and walked towards the preparation area.
Wen Xuan was momentarily stunned, then looked towards the large screen not far away.
After the battle between Yang Tiancai and Wen Yan was over, a new set of opponents appeared on the screen, precisely Xiao Shun and Wen Xuan.
“Haha, very well!”
Retracting his gaze, Wen Xuan laughed heartily and strode towards arena number four.
He had long been fed up with Xiao Shun. He had originally thought that both sides would only have a chance to face off in the latter half of the competition, but unexpectedly, they were facing each other in the very first match.
It truly was a stroke of luck for him!
