Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Twenty Proud Geniuses_1

In the following matches, Ling Xiao’s battles became extremely easy, as soon as he stepped onto the Martial Arts Platform, his opponents would directly declare defeat.

Having witnessed Ling Xiao’s combat, no one wanted to waste time or energy on him.

The painful lesson Yan Lie Huo had taught them was enough.

After fighting with Ling Xiao, Yan Lie Huo had lost three consecutive battles before he gradually recovered and was likely to advance, but it was very tough.

Seeing this, Leng Hao couldn’t hide his envy, "Senior Brother Ling, just by flexing your muscle a bit, those people are too scared to fight you, unlike me, it’s just too hard."

"When facing an opponent you cannot defeat, it’s wise to give up. That’s the combat strategy I’ve set for you. Fight according to it, and you should be able to advance with ease."

In his free time, Ling Xiao had devised a promotion strategy for both Leng Hao and Dai Yuling.

It was simply about who to strive to defeat and who to give up against immediately.

Lan Yu’er and Joshua Long didn’t need one, as their own strength was powerful enough to crush most opponents in the preliminaries.

"I can’t thank you enough, Senior Brother Ling, this was exactly what was bothering me," Leng Hao said.

Although Leng Hao’s strength wasn’t bad and his chances of advancing were high, it would be quite embarrassing if he unexpectedly failed.

With the promotion strategy provided by Ling Xiao, combined with his own strength, advancing was almost certain.

Leng Hao never doubted Ling Xiao’s judgment, having been with him for so long, he was all too aware of his elder brother’s analytical prowess.

"Go ahead, focus on your fight, don’t mind what others say. Advancing is what matters," Ling Xiao reminded him.

After all, Leng Hao was young and vigorous; the biggest fear was that he would lose his temper upon hearing the audience’s comments and abandon the strategy entirely.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother Ling, I’ll just bet my ears on it, haha," Leng Hao retorted.

"Look over there, Senior Brother Ling, Ying Wu Ya seems to be in trouble," Lan Yu’er’s voice suddenly rang in Ling Xiao’s ear.

Ling Xiao looked over.

Ying Wu Ya was the last remaining disciple of the Beast King Palace in the finals, and he had been smooth sailing so far, but now he encountered trouble.

His opponent was Third Young Master Bai, who ranked twenty-ninth in the last Martial Arts Festival finals.

Both of their Martial Souls were that of the Great Roc.

However, Ying Wu Ya possessed the Golden Winged Dapeng Martial Soul, while Third Young Master Bai had the Snow Domain Great Roc Martial Soul.

One Martial Soul shone with a dazzling golden light.

The other Martial Soul was pure with ice and snow.

Both were quite beautiful.

On the battlefield, the two continuously exchanged blows, their figures flickering, too fast for ordinary eyes to catch.

From the current situation, they seemed evenly matched.

However, Ling Xiao could clearly see that Third Young Master Bai was much stronger than Ying Wu Ya. The only reason the fight seemed even was purely that Third Young Master Bai was toying with him.

It was rumored that Third Young Master Bai enjoyed toying with his opponents, like a cat that had caught a mouse, able to kill it with one swat, yet persistently teasing it instead.

"Have you finished showing off your moves? It’s really boring, you can’t even arouse my interest, let’s end this tedious battle," Third Young Master Bai said, even yawning in the midst of battle. His attacks then suddenly became more aggressive and fierce, instantly pressuring Ying Wu Ya completely.

"Great Roc Spreads Wings, Golden Light Strike!" Ying Wu Ya’s face showed anger, and he suddenly extended his hands as the Golden Winged Dapeng Martial Soul behind him emitted a blinding golden light, making it hard for many spectators to see anything.

It was as if a golden sun had fallen onto the Martial Arts Platform.

"Child’s play!"

Third Young Master Bai sneered coldly, his figure suddenly turning into a streak of white light. He kicked Ying Wu Ya squarely in the chest, sending Ying Wu Ya flying off the Martial Arts Platform.

"Pfft—!"

Ying Wu Ya spat out blood, his eyes glazed over.

The injuries on his body were not severe, but the psychological blow was quite heavy.

"Hahaha, all the disciples of the Eastern Three Sects are trash, not a single one of them is decent!"

Third Young Master Bai laughed heartily as he walked down from the stage.

Hearing these words, Ying Wu Ya, who initially had a dazed look in his eyes, instantly regained clarity.

"Third Young Master Bai, I may not be a match for you, but within the Eastern Three Sects, there will be someone to deal with you."

Ying Wu Ya thought of Ling Xiao.

Having been greatly affected by Ling Xiao, he had already forged his fragile little heart into resilience, not so easily sunk into despair.

"Are you talking about Jian Wuji? I’m sorry to tell you, but Jian Wuji has already withdrawn from the Sword King Sect and now belongs to the disciples of Dragon Sky Academy!"

Third Young Master Bai truly did not dare to underestimate Jian Wuji.

"It’s not him. I’m referring to someone else."

Ying Wu Ya looked towards Ling Xiao, the pride of the Eastern Three Sects rested entirely on him.

"The chief core disciple of Moon Hua Sect? Heh, defeating Yan Lie Huo is impressive, but do you think I’d be afraid of him? To tell you the truth, even Zhai Juan and Fengmo Ting are no longer a match for me now."

Third Young Master Bai sneered.

"So what?"

Ying Wu Ya asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"No other meaning. If you’re afraid of Jian Wuji, then facing him, you’re bound to lose without a doubt."

Ying Wu Ya smiled faintly and, with the support of the disciples of Beast King Palace, returned to his seat to rest.

Many people below the stage had been paying attention to this battle, and at this time, various discussions arose once again.

"Third Young Master Bai is probably stronger than before. Was he ranked twenty-nine or thirty in the last competition? It doesn’t matter; by the looks of it, he seems to be stronger than Fengmo Ting, who was ranked nineteenth last time."

"Ying Wu Ya isn’t weak either. It’s a pity he met Third Young Master Bai. Are the disciples of the Eastern Three Sects merely fleeting after all? Is it the same for Ling Xiao?"

"Didn’t you hear what Ying Wu Ya said? Ling Xiao’s strength is probably even greater than Jian Wuji’s."

"Keep boasting, who doesn’t know how to do that since it’s tax-free anyway."

"Let’s stop talking about this; do you think Third Young Master Bai can rank among the ’Heavenly Prides’ this time?"

"Should be close. There are only twenty Heavenly Prides, and those ranked in the top ten last time were too formidable; no chance any of them would fall behind. The real contention is for the remaining ten spots. Third Young Master Bai is stronger than Fengmo Ting, so I guess it’s likely, but even if he gets in, he’ll be at the bottom."

"True. This year’s Martial Arts Festival finals saw quite a few new faces, and there are also some from the last competition who didn’t stand out but have fully grown by this competition. It’s too difficult to get into the Twenty Heavenly Prides."

"Right, Holy Son, Mo Wu Shang, Bai Qianjiao, Liu Taiyin, Hong Sanwei, Jian Wuji, Qin Bi Xue, Li Xuefeng, Dai Yaoling, Dao Wuming—these ten are in a league of their own, and it’s unlikely anyone can shake their status. The real battle is for the remaining ten spots."

"Heh, I think Hong Li from Jade Water Divine Palace is stronger than her elder sister Bai Qianjiao. Let’s just say she’s number eleven for now, leaving nine spots to go."

"Don’t forget Feng Yaorao and Po Qian Jun from Dragon Sky Academy. These two are definitely going to take two spots. During the earlier strength assessments, one had ninety-eight golden lamps lit, and the other had ninety-six!"
