Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 28 - One Attack

The voice, which suddenly appeared, directly caused the open field, where a private whisper had just come out, to once again shut up abruptly. Many gazes, which contained astonishment, were thrown at the black-robed young man in the middle of the open ground, who was carrying a huge black ruler, who was around his height. In an instant, the entire stadium became silent.

"Xiao Yan ge-ge .." Xun Er looked at the back of the figure standing on the open ground, which was taller than two years ago, but also slightly thinner. An elegant smile, which would make the surrounding male disciples very lustful, was immediately revealed on her extremely beautiful face.

"This person should he make a big fuss every time he comes. He really likes to show off." Xiao Yu's pretty eyes stared intently back, which he hadn't seen for two years. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, his mouth was still unwilling to forgive as he spoke loudly.

"Ha ha, Xiao-Yu jie-jie, is that person Xiao Yan ge-ge that Xun Er always talks about? It was really unexpected that he managed to rush over at the last moment." Beside Xiao Yu, a group of young women, who seemed to be in class with Xun Er, laughed as they asked while their gazes stared at the person's back on the open ground.

[TL: jie-jie – older sister or talk to a slightly older friend or sister]

"That's fine. It was that brat that caused Xun Er to worry all the time. You're all disappointed, right?" Xiao Yu could not help but say as he glanced at Xun Er, who had stopped her lips and smiled.

"Hee hee, we have to see the power. What's the point of being handsome?" The young women laughed as they spoke. In the Jia Nan Academy, the environment where strength was equally respected, being the most handsome was not the most important. Being able to easily defeat strong opponents in the competition and retreat elegantly, was the perfect male style in their hearts.

"However, even if he managed to get here in time, the situation is not very good. That Xue Beng was a nine star Dou Shi. Moreover, the Qi Methods he trained were at the Low Level Xuan Class. His spear technique had been practiced until it reached its peak. Intermediate Xuan Class Dou Technique, Spear Technique ‘Overlapping Waves’, has defeated quite a number of opponents ." A young lady, whose appearance was quite pretty, suddenly said somewhat bashfully.

Xiao Yu and the others frowned slightly upon hearing this. They immediately glanced at Xun Er whose eyes were completely calm. They said somewhat hesitantly, "That boy should have been able to handle it. I can't believe that he won't achieve anything during these two years, given his character … "

For a long time, Instructor Ruo Lin's pretty eyes stared at the young man in the battle arena, who was carrying a great ruler. He also quietly sighed in relief in his heart. Since Xiao Yan managed to get here in time, even if he lost the match, he would only lose the chance to be promoted to Xuan Class Instructor for one year. He still has a chance to fight for it next year. After all, with the potential that Xiao Yan had shown back then when he was recruiting disciples, he believed that Xiao Yan would be able to catch up as long as he could train in the academy for a year.

"good. Let's not all daydream. Since this guy has finally arrived, let's stay here and support him. Regardless of how long he can last, he is at least a member of our Second Class Huang – Class." Instructor Ruo Lin turned his head and looked past all the young women as he said helplessly. However, the meaning behind his words clearly showed that he also did not have much hope for Xiao Yan to be able to defeat Xue Beng.

"Is he Xiao Yan?" Bai Shan was dressed in white in the observation gallery, whose figure was straight and tall, like a jade tree standing on the wind, looking at the black-robed youth on the open ground while feeling doubt. He did not expect that this fellow had actually managed to do so at the very last moment.

"The breath is very calm. Maybe he has some ability, but that's it." Bai Shan raised her eyebrows, and said weakly as she looked at the expression of the black-robed young man, who did not change in the slightest due to the surrounding environment filled with people. He who had high expectations, he did not give a very high score to this potential rival.

"Is this Xiao Yan ge-ge who made Xun Er obsessed? He was finally willing to appear but he did not look too handsome. I really don't know why she misses him so much." The gaze of the red-clothed young lady swept over Xiao Yan's body with great interest. However, he immediately curled his lips and said.

"What's the point of being handsome? Can it let the referee give him extra value?" The white-haired old man beside him rolled his eyes. A pair of turbid eyes like ordinary old men stopped on Xiao Yan's body. A moment later, his eyebrows fused slightly. Shock flashed in his eyes. Shaking his head, he vaguely said with a smile, "A very interesting person …"

"I hope he won't be defeated by Xue Beng as soon as he comes out to fight. Otherwise, Xiao Xun Er's face would have completely disappeared." The delicate hand of the red-clothed young lady rubbed a strand of long, pale-red hair that hung over as she said rather arrogantly.

"Look .." The old man smiled. His gaze came into contact with the refereeing platform not far from there and realized that there was also shock in the eyes of some old friends there. It seemed like they also had to see some unique points about this little brat named Xiao Yan.

"You are Xiao Yan?" The cold-faced long spear of Xue Beng violently struck the hard ground in front of the tens of thousands of gazes in the stadium. His gaze was fixed directly at the black-robed young man as he said coldly.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"You don't deserve him." Xue Beng's words were immediately with disdain as he saw Xiao Yan nod.

"Maybe." Xiao Yan immediately felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. Other people were chasing Xun Er. It seemed like this girl was really involved in the chaos in this Jia Nan Academy.

"There are so many people in the Jia Nan Academy waiting for you to appear. From today onwards, it is likely that you will experience unrelenting problems. I may be the first to challenge you, but I will definitely not be the last." Xue Beng coldly laughed. He immediately swung the long spear in his hand and pointed its tip towards Xiao Yan, "I will defeat you in front of him. A mediocre person like you doesn't have the qualifications to have an amazing girl like her."

"They are indeed just a bunch of jealous children ..." Xiao Yan was somewhat speechless as he looked at Xue Beng, who was declaring war the moment they met. He sighed and slowly grabbed the hilt of the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand. The huge ruling body trembled slightly as it tilted and pointed downwards. As he waved the great ruler, an enormous sound of compressed air being sliced echoed in the arena. "I also really don't like to accept never-ending problems. Therefore, to end it, you have to suffer a little." The great ruler left a huge black shadow on the ground as Xiao Yan raised his head and smiled as he replied Xue Beng.

"Oh? You want to use me for ‘kill chicken to warn monkey’? " Xue Beng is not a fool. He understood Xiao Yan's intentions when he heard the latter speaking in this manner. Immediately, a veiled fury flashed across his eyes as he coldly laughed, "Are you not afraid of twisting your tongue by boasting so much?"

"Can we start?" Xiao Yan tilted his head and directed his gaze to the seven or eight old men in the judge's seat as he asked with a smile.

"Yes." Yeah." Some old men exchanged glances when they saw Xiao Yan looking up. They then nodded.

"A cocky boy!"

Xue Beng's expression turned a little cold when he saw the judges nodding. His hand held his spear tightly as his feet suddenly stomped on the ground. The long spear shook and let out a sharp sound as it shot towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan did not move his body. He looked at Xue Beng, who was the first to attack, while holding a long spear in his hand. The heavy ruler in his hand trembled slightly. As he said before, Xiao Yan clearly understood that there were quite a number of people in the Jia Nan Academy who had enmity towards him because of Xun Er. Now that he had just arrived, the only method to end the unrelenting challenge was to scare them!

Moreover, even if he excluded having to eliminate that never-ending problem, it was, Xiao Yan was also urgently needed to obtain a suppressive victory that did not make anyone hesitate when he had just come to the Jia Nan Academy, where talented people gathered!

He wanted to prove one thing to everyone. It was Xiao Yan ge-ge, who had never stopped talking about Xun Er, having the strength to stand in front of her and help her block the storm!

He wanted to tell everyone that his judgment would not disappoint anyone!

Back then, he was a useless person. Hence, Xun Er had once stood in front of him. Now, however, he did not want things in the past to repeat themselves.

Hence, he did not need to put on a fierce fight like a stalemate in this battle. All he needed was a destructive and unattractive victory!

His firm arrogance this time was a small compensation for the girl who had been waiting for him for two years.

He wanted to tell her that he had not wasted these two years.

The thoughts in his heart were like an upside down wave. He took a deep breath, and inserted the heavy ruler into the ground. His hands were outstretched from his sleeves, which were rolled.

Just as the opponent's fierce attack was about to reach him, he steadily adjusted his sleeves. The sea of people surrounding the open ground was immediately silent like the calm demeanor of the eyed Xiao Yan. They could only use one word to describe Xiao Yan's current appearance: Sassy!

Xue Beng's eyes were ice-cold as he looked at Xiao Yan's actions. The anger in his heart grew bigger. Following the change of mind in his heart, Dou Qi immediately rolled over and poured into the long spear. The tip of the spear carried a pale red light as his palm suddenly struck the tip of the spear's handle. The spear immediately shot out explosively. In the blink of an eye, it would reach the front of Xiao Yan's throat!

"Aah!"

The expressions of Xiao Yu and Instructor Ruo Lin could not help but change slightly when they saw the lightning-like attack from Xue Beng on the battlefield. Only Xun Er was still maintaining her composure. In his heart, he clearly knew that the current Xiao Yan was no longer a useless person in the Xiao clan back then. Even Nalan Yanran, who was carefully prepared and taught by the Misty Cloud Sect, was defeated by his hand. From this, one could see just how powerful Xiao Yan was right now!

Under the countless gazes, which contained different types of emotions, this long spear attack by Xue Beng, which had great momentum, was in front of Xiao Yan's throat quickly. However, just as everyone was waiting for the bloody scene, which was about to appear. The tip of the spear, which was less than half an inch from Xiao Yan's throat, suddenly came to a halt as if the air had hardened.

Countless numbers of gazes followed the long spear as they moved and finally stopped at the hilt of the spear. A long pale hand held tightly to the handle of the spear there. That incomparable attack of Xue Beng was actually forcefully stopped with one hand.

In the stadium, countless gazes once again slowly moved along the hand. They finally stopped at the body of the black-robed young man, whose expression was indifferent. The whole place immediately exploded into chaos!

Xiao Yan raised his gaze. He laughed at Xue Beng in front of him, whose expression had changed greatly. The corner of his mouth lifted into a small arch as he softly said, "One strike!"

As his voice fell, Xiao Yan's body swayed and instantly turned into a hazy shadow. Xiao Yan tightened his right hand, and an ear-piercing sharp force immediately shouted!

Xue Beng felt a terrifying strength suddenly rise up. His eyes shrieked and disappointment finally stuck to his face.
