Chapter 84

The second round of the Liliang academy tournament had begun. The first fight of the second round, between Liu Shan and Fengyuan had finished with a landslide victory achieved by Liu Shan.

The same was the case with the second fight between Tao Xihan and Yuze Hanfei.

“The second fight is over. The winner is Tao Xihan!”

Whaaa!

The audience cheered loudly hearing it. The ability of the two of them who are fairly equal has made the action of a fight that is quite fierce compared to other fights.

Seeing the results of the fight was not too surprising to Liu Shan. He looked through a Ki energy emitted in the waiting room of the fighters. Like, the Ki energy forms a resonance that allows one to see events elsewhere. Just like television or camera in the modern world.

Both hands holding a glass of warm drink were placed on the table. One of them was taken by Xiao Lin who was sitting across the table while looking at the same battle result as him.

“Thank you,” said Xiao Lin.

“Tao Xihan's. My opponent he will be in the third round, yes,” muttered Liu Shan.

“Next is the fourth fight. If it's not wrong it's Siyue's sister who will fight,” Xiao Lin said.

Obviously, Liu Shan had not forgotten that. Because the opponent his sister was going to face was her own former fiance, Xu Xiao.

“Iya, I know.”

Before long, Xiao Lin again replied with a hesitant face.

“Xu Xiao's. Siyue's sister will win, won't she?”

Liu Shan was silent for a moment. He paid attention to the fighting arena without turning his head and gave a definite answer at all towards Xiao Lin.

“Come,” murmured Liu Shan.

“Entah? Why so?” asked Xiao Lin.

“If I want my sister to win, but the opponent is the young miss of the Xu family. It will be a tough fight for Siyue,” Liu Shan said.

Seeing Liu Shan say such a thing was a novelty to Xiao Lin. Moreover, his words sounded like knowing about Xu Xiao was quite a lot.

“You ... seems to know a lot about him huh?” asked Xiao Lin.

His gaze was drawn backward by briefly staring at Xiao Lin. Liu Shan turned around and sat across from his desk.

“Iya, I know even know too much about him. Because he used to be my ex-fiancee.”

Those words struck Xiao Lin fiercely within his head and chest. His eyes opened wide as if he could not believe what he was hearing.

“Tu ... fiancee?!” yoho Xiao Lin.

“Iya,” connect Liu Shan.

“(Tu .. fiance. I don't understand, but at the moment I am happy and upset simultaneously after knowing it)” Xiao Lin's inner self.

Then, Xiao Lin attempted to shift the subject.

“Despite her it's your ex. Why did you say this was going to be a tough fight for Siyue's sister?” asked Xiao Lin.

“Different from my sister who was determined to train herself, Xu Xiao was born with high cultivation talent,” explained Liu Shan.

* * * *

Bai Ling's voice from the tournament arena caught the attention of the entire audience.

“Alright, we are back at the Liliang academy tournament. Now that we are about to enter the third fight, is everything still spirit?!”

Whoa!!

The cheers from the audience gave a clear answer. None of them lost their spirit.

“Then, let's start his third fight. Two girls with promising abilities, namely Xu Xiao against Liu Siyue!”

The two participants, Xu Xiao and Liu Siyue had stood on top of the arena. The two looked at each other in different ways. Recalling how her brother had once been humiliated by her, Liu Siyue stared intently at Xu Xiao with a great deal of vengeance channeled.

While Xu Xiao returned the gaze with a thin smile as if he was looking down on him.

“Wah wow, what kind of coincidence. You can meet my beautiful sister-in-law,”, Xu Xiao said.

“I'm not your sister-in-law and I won't. Don't get acquainted!” grumbled Liu Siyue.

“One-time error. Your brother would not be happy to see his future wife in a snaps so,” Xu Xiao said.

“No shame!” grumbled Liu Siyue.

“Hm?”

Xu Xiao tilted his head in confusion with a face that turned sharp for a moment.

“You don't know what you went through after you broke off the engagement. And now you want to go back with him after seeing big brother get back to cultivating?!”

Bai Ling who was beside the arena did not hear their conversation, and continued to start.

Simultaneously after his cue, Liu Siyue's provoked emotions also made him expel a certain amount of Ki energy all over the body.

Woosh!

“I won't let you humiliate brother anymore!” yippered Liu Siyue.

Xu Xiao did not react much. However, his sharp gaze back then had still not changed while coating his body with Ki energy.

“You know .. I never liked you in the first place. And don't think I'll be merciful, just because you're Liu Shan's sister,” Xu Xiao said.

Grac!

Both of them moved forward in their respective directions. Throwing attacks in a row to stop. Of course this gives a great response to the audience. They immediately cheered the fierce fight that had occurred in the first seconds of the fight.

On the other hand, Liu Siyue who was facing Xu Xiao directly there was seen to be able to withstand his attacks. However, it was the same for Xu Xiao.

“Come, don't lose your spirit just yet. You just said you were gonna protect your sister, right? Can you protect her by just surviving? Try to reply!” xu Xiao said provocatively.

Liu Siyue made no attempt to respond to his remark. He kept trying to focus with every attack he threw.

“(I can withstand his attacks. But I can't underestimate it. Xu Xiao, he belonged to one of the geniuses from Feng city. Moreover, the direct heir of the Xu family at his young age. I can't win just by attacking!)”

For a moment, Xu Xiao saw a hint of empty feeling coming from Liu Siyue. The brief moment he got once he realized it could change the course of the fight.

“What do you think?” whispered Xu Xiao.

Liu Siyue's eyes opened wide at his words. He who was lost in his own mind, now returned and suddenly dodged to the side. Xu Xiao's hand swung past the right side of his ear, but his palm was unbroken and released a Ki energy.

Buaak!

“Ugh!” erang Liu Siyue's.

That powerful Ki energy harnessed around to form a loud buzz that impaired Liu Siyue's hearing.

While his balance was disturbed, Xu Xiao threw a Ki energy which hit Liu Siyue's body backwards.

Dak dak!

“Aghh!”

“(Sial, I'm off guard! He got my hearing to make me lose my balance. He's been after her fromadi?)”

“In the middle of a fight you can daydream?!”

Xu Xiao from far away. His two fingers were clamped and swung to create a slashing energy.

“Energy release: Ki slash!”

Bats!

Liu Siyue avoided Ki's slashes one by one. But with the number coming in a row, it ends up making a gap that makes it scratched little by little.

“Come, come, dance more, Liu Siyue!”

Sret sret sret!

“Ugghh!”

The successive attacks left Liu Siyue speechless there while trying to withstand any incoming attacks. Providing a festive situation to the spectators who supported Xu Xiao's victory.

Whaaa!

“Hazard keep Miss Xu Xiao!”

“Telebas continue!”

“Miss Liu Siyue, survive!”

“Don't give up!”

On the other hand, Xiao Lin who saw how the fight was also surprised how Liu Siyue was in the corner quickly.

“This is a danger. If it continues like this, gradually Siyue's sister will lose!”

“Shan!”

As soon as he looked back, there was a silent Liu Shan with both hands fused right in front of his lips. Both eyes stared intently as if unmoved from the fight.

“Still not yet,” Liu Shan said.

“Hah?” yoho Xiao Lin.

He looked directly at his sister there. How he was trying to constantly withstand the successive attacks was visible from the look in his eyes.

“Mata Siyue .. The fire inside is still burning.”
