Chapter 14 - The Cunning Xiao Ning

The fight on the stage gradually turned exciting.

Even the guests and the elders started paying attention to it.

They were not amazed by the level of the fight but by the control and combat skills displayed on the stage by the fighters, especially Xiao Lin.

Before today, everyone just viewed him as an ordinary member who was striving to improve like anyone else, maybe a little lucky.

But today, after seeing his skills and instinct they all understood that it is not all about luck.

There is both talent and hardwork involved.

On the other hand, Xiao Ning felt a wave of frustration on the arena. No matter what he does or what technique he uses, Xiao Lin was always able to 'barely' dodge it.

It's like punching a cotton and missing everytime, extremely annoying.

He finally lost patience.

Seeing that Xiao Lin wasn't taking him seriously, he faked an attack before covering his mouth where no one could see him.

Suddenly, a wild energy erupted in his meridians. His blood boiled and an unprecedented strength came over him.

Xiao Ning took the chance, acted as if he missed again and when no one could expect it, suddenly turned around and threw a punch directly at Xiao Lin's throat.

A crimson douqi flared at the end of his fist glowing with a vicious light and it arrived in the blink of an eye.

The speed was almost three times faster!

If this landed, Xiao Lin would either be injured or crippled.

The elder supervising the fight was shocked and so was everyone.

There was no time to intervene.

At this time, Xiao Lin's eyes sharpened and a cold light flashed between them.

The fist which was a blur in other people's eyes, was slow like a snail in front of him.

He could even predict its trajectory.

Such is the difference in power between a Dou Zhi Qi and a Dou Shi!

Just as the fist was about to hit, it was blocked.

Before anyone could react, a heavy blow landed on Xiao Ning's chest projecting him in the air like a cannon ball followed by a shrill scream.

He landed directly outside the arena, fainting on the spot.

It took a while for everyone to come to their senses.

Just now, it looked like Xiao Lin was about to be defeated but the tables turned a little too fast which made it hard for them to process.

When they finally saw the scene in front of them, the entire field went into an uproar.

A boy who they barely knew defeated a core disciple with a single punch!

This news is so explosive!

The elder and some loyal followers of Xiao Ning immediately went to check.

What they saw sent a chill down their spine.

Atleast 4 ribs are broken, the chest caved in and the breathing is faint.

It can be said the attack was quite heavy and even a bit ruthless.

It would atleast take three to five months to heal.

"How dare you hurt him like this? This is just a competition and you dealt such a heavy hand to your own clansmen."

Suddenly a girl stood up to protest. She was so angry that her proud chest seemed to burst open at this moment.

This girl was tall and slender, probably older than Xiao Lin. But her appearance was high, especially those long, sexy legs.

He has only ever seen Ya Fei who can compete with her in that aspect.

"Who are you and why should I answer your question?" Xiao Lin, although a little amazed by her beauty wouldn't give up his grounds.

This was a fight and accidents are meant to happen. Not to mention, Xiao Ning did use external help to enhance his strength.

That's right, as an alchemist he was well-aware that the sudden burst in Xiao Ning's strength at the end was definitely caused by a pill. He could even guess what it was.

Use of any external support is banned in these kinds of friendly duels. Xiao Ning broke the rules first so he wouldn't be kind to him.

"You...I am Xiao Yu, his sister. You will answer me because I asked you." Xiao Yu has never seen someone talk back to her, especially in the family.

She could endure anything but couldn't sit still when her brother has been injured like this.

'Oh, she is still a feisty one', Xiao Lin murmured inwardly.

"I also didn't want to deal such a heavy hand but he suddenly attacked me after taking Qi boosting powder, so I became a little scared and used my full strength. Who knew he wouldn't be able to take it?"

Xiao Lin immediately spread his hand innocently as if it was really a mistake. He even cleverly emphasised about the 'Qi Boosting Powder'.

The elder who was also the referee immediately frowned.

Using external aids are strictly banned in the competition. If Xiao Ning really used it, it will be an offense.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand panicked slightly but refuted the claim: "You don't talk nonsense. You beat him so hard and now you are accusing him. What did my brother ever do to you?"

"Elder, I am guessing the pill he took must have its side effects. If the huge energy doesn't get an outlet, it will definitely be present inside, rampaging throughout his body. He needs immediate treatment."

Xiao Lin wasn't going to waste time with a stupid debate so he respectfully informed the elder.

The elder, on hearing this immediately started to probe Xiao Ning's body. Xiao Yu also finally panicked and ran towards her brother. She was feeling guilty inside.

If she hadn't given that thing to him, he wouldn't end up like this today.

"Brother, nothing should happen to you." She muttered in a worried tone.

After checking for a few minutes, the elder's face turned gloomy.

"Take Xiao Ning to the Medical Hall for treatment at once."

With one command, a team of professionals took Xiao Ning away. Xiao Yu didn't stay either and went with them.

After exhaling a deep sigh, the elder announced the result: "This fight, Xiao Lin won!"

Cheers erupted throughout the field and there were all sorts of praises.

The boy who was almost unknown until now suddenly made a name in one fight.

"Brother Xiao Lin is really hidden. Congratulations on the win!"

After returning, he was welcomed by Xun'er's happy smile. But if you look closely there was some intrigue in her eyes as well.

As the princess of the ancient clan, her eyesight is definitely not comparable to others.

Just now, in the stage, Xiao Ning's attack which could have injured a Dou Zhe was easily repelled by her brother Xiao Lin.

But before, when she inquired about Xiao Lin's strength, Uncle Ling reported that he was just an ordinary boy with unremarkable cultivation talent.

This is clearly not true.

It seems Xiao Lin has some secrets.

But she will not ask.

When he feels about telling it to her, she will know.

As long as it doesn't pose any threat to him, she will not interfere.
