Chapter 87

Hearing her brother's words back then made her pause for a moment. Liu Siyue recalled the abilities that Tang Shin had displayed in the previous few fights.

He defeated his opponent without having to expend any great effort. Either by stopping his movements, or getting them out of the arena.

Liu Shan stood beside him while saying a few things.

“Tang Shin is strong. Rest, you will need all your energy to defeat him,” Liu Shan said.

“I know,” said Liu Siyue while looking down silently.

Not only from his abilities alone, but Tang Shin was also the one who secured the first position in Shenmi forest training, before Liu Shan. Liu Siyue realized that the journey she had to take in the tournament was very difficult.

Then, he lifted his head and looked at Liu Shan with both eyes with widened glare. However, it looks smoldering as if implying a meaning in it.

“This fight is heavy. But, if you really want to be the greatest, where maybe the path I went through will be easy?”

His words were accompanied by a faint smile on his face. Although the sweat flowing from his forehead and face looked stiff, Liu Siyue braced herself firmly to take the heavy road ahead of him.

Liu Shan himself who saw his sister like that was speechless. He just laughed with a little breath coming out of his nose.

“Hmph, you are sometimes crazy huh,” muttered Liu Shan.

“Hah, how crazy?!” lui Liu Siyue.

“You know yourself, but you still say such things,” Liu Shan said.

“It can't be? You don't want to!” refute Liu Siyue.

Liu Shan turned around and walked towards the exit while waving his hand.

“Iya yes, spirit continues. I'll wait in the semi-finals, my sister.”

Clack!

The door closed as Liu Shan walked out from there.

On the other hand, in the middle of the arena there was already Bai Ling returning to fill the event.

“Alright, everyone. The break time is over, now we will go straight into the third round of the Liliang academy tournament!”

Whoa!!

Rousing cheers from the spectators kept the atmosphere inside the arena awake. As time went on, they continued to be presented with eye-popping battles and adrenaline.

Bai Ling pulled her hand to the right first.

“On the right, you can see the handsome male participants who have won the fight with unexpected results. The most impressive battle that still rests on everyone's head, how he stops a person's movements with just a mere look in the eye. Here you go, Liu Shan!”

Whaaa!

The audience's response was different compared to the first time Liu Shan had entered the arena. Some cheered to see it, and some also still had a sharp sniff from their mouths.

“Wah, her again.”

“Yes right? He's the one who won in a weird way.”

“But, I'm kind of curious what he'll do next.”

“Hmph, at most he will do another strange trick to win this fight.”

“Hey, don't talk like that. Do you know what?!”

“In a prestigious tournament like this, it is no wonder that people want to win it. Not apart from people who intend to cheat to win.”

Instead of the audience's words, Liu Shan walked into the arena. Once he had arrived, Bai Ling immediately changed her gaze toward the opposite direction while extending her hand.

“On the reverse side, we can see the new fangs of the Liliang academy. A student from the male dormitory who had shown the results of a fierce and lively fight. Here you go, Tao Xihan!”

Whoa!!

Festive cheers came welcoming Tao Xihan as he looked towards the hallway on the left.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine ….

Time keeps ticking. But no one came out of the hallway. The cheering audience became whispering while looking left and right.

“What happened?”

“He hasn't arrived?”

Liu Shan at that moment fell silent in confusion as well.

“(Luck, he's not coming either. Is he still resting?)”

Thought so. However, it was as important as this Liliang academy tournament where perhaps one would forget. He approached and whispered to Bai Ling.

“Teacher Bai Ling, did he not come?” whispered Liu Shan.

“Shouldn't be possible,” said Bai Ling.

“Maybe you can buy some time by showing your actraks,” Bai Ling said with a faint smile.

“You're kidding, right? You think the people here want to see a demonstration of cultivation practice? They came to see the fight,” Liu Shan replied.

“Hehehe, I was joking. Don't be too serious like that,” said Bai Ling.

On the other hand, Bai Ling suddenly gave the gesture code from her eyes to the other organizers of the tournament event. Some of them rushed out to overcome this.

Liu Shan realized quickly and whispered back to him.

“How now?”

“Already, you just follow the flow. Me and the other higher-ups will take care of this later.”

Bai Ling also walked a few steps into the middle of the arena.

“Umm, sorry everyone. Tao Xihan's participants still have no news. To present a fair fight and to be enjoyed by everyone. We will withdraw the first fight of the third round of the Liliang.” academy tournament

The complaints from the entire audience area were heard clearly. How they exhale deeply while throwing their shoulders back at the chair they are sitting in.

After the announcement, Liu Shan walked out towards the arena hallway. He kept silent while walking.

“(Luck. A prestigious event like this, should not be missed out on it. Especially for a participant like him)”

After all, Liu Shan was a secret agent in his previous life. Curiosity high and his old soul seemed to churn back to find out what really happened.

However, when he wanted to walk out of the arena, Liu Shan parted ways with Tang Shin inside the hallway.

She looked at Tang Shin with a flat face as Tang Shin did the same. Between the two of them kept going as if nothing had happened. After their shoulders passed each one, it was Tang Shin who first stopped stepping and caught his attention.

“Liu Siyue .. She's your sister right?” muttered Tang Shin.

“Then?” sahut Liu Shan's.

“Before the fight starts, I want to apologize. I hope your sister isn't stubborn and ends up heavily injured,” Tang Shin said.

Attentiveness. That was the word that appeared inside Liu Shan's head when he heard Tang Shin's words there.

“Thank you. But isn't it too arrogant to talk like that?” said Liu Shan.

“Then suppose you don't hear anything,” said Tang Shin.

Tang Shin's footsteps moved towards the arena. Jun is walking the opposite way.

* * * *

“All right everything. Since the first match of the third round has been taken down, we will go straight into the second match!”

Bai Ling extended her palm towards the right while hardening her voice.

“On the right, you can see a handsome man who won the match with his elegant abilities. Among the audience, he was nicknamed as ‘Sang spectator champion’. Here you go, Tang Shin!”

Whoa!!

Tang Shin's appearance in the arena had changed the atmosphere quickly. People were screaming for calling his name.

“Master Tang Shin!”

“Tang Shin, look here!”

“Wohooo, Mr. Tang Shin!”

Instead of the uproar of the situation, Bai Ling immediately switched to her left.

“And from the left, we have the arrival of young lady with stunning ability in the previous match. He fought the men, Miss Xu Xiao with spectacular results. The hard work of this beautiful lady has led her to the third round of the Liliang academy tournament. Here it is, Liu Siyue!”

Whaaa!

Cheers for the sake of cheers are repeated constantly. Liu Siyue's name was shouted by the spectators in the area, to the male disciples who had formed his own fanbase.

“Nona Liu Siyue!”

“Spirited miss Liu Siyue!”

“Sister Siyue, kick him!”

The two stood on top of the arena, staring at each other while plunging into the atmosphere of battle. The atmosphere from the direction of the audience had made the two feel as if they were on par with support.

On the other hand, Liu Siyue recalled her brother's words. Tang Shin was extremely strong, therefore he was much more vigilant compared to the time against Xu Xiao earlier.

“(Before seeing big brother, I have to beat him first)”

From outside the arena, Bai Ling shouted.

“The second fight of the third round of the Liliang academy tournament. Tang Shin fought Liu Siyue, starting!”
