Endless Systems
Chapter 91
Among the other higher-ups, Qing Yao sat quietly as she gazed towards the arena. Before long, came Sheng Tong who was sitting right in the chair next to him.
“Thinking something?” ask Sheng Tong.
“Ah, no. I was just looking at the match,” Qing Yao said.
Sheng Tong looked ahead at where Liu Shan and Tang Shin were standing at a distance from each other above the arena.
“Befit,” murmured Sheng Tong.
His reply back then attracted Qing Yao's eyes to look at him while wrinkling both eyes.
“Why?” qing Yao asked.
“Need me to explain?” sheng Tong.
Seeing Qing Yao who kept looking at him made Sheng Tong sigh.
“Haah, from the beginning you did not pay attention to the fight at all. But, every time Liu Shan walked into the arena, that gaze of yours did not turn away at all,” Sheng Tong explained.
“I only observe my students. Is it wrong?” sahut Qing Yao's.
“Yeah, not too. I just said it,” Sheng Tong said.
Sheng Tong fixed his sitting position. He looked more carefully ahead as he spoke.
“I met him. And he doesn't seem to care much about what the audience says,” Sheng Tong said.
“So yes. I don't think it makes much difference when you doubt his abilities in the dragon room. Isn't that right, Sheng Tong?”
Qing Yao said that while turning her gaze to the side. The gaze wrapped in a thin smile with sarcasm was piercing right at Sheng Tong.
“Hahaha, very attuned from his students and teachers,” Sheng Tong replied with a cynical laugh.
Sheng Tong cleared his throat while trying to shift the subject.
“Ehem, regardless of that. Who do you think has the edge in this fight?” ask Sheng Tong.
“Tang Shin.”
Qing Yao's reply made Sheng Tong change his facial expression quickly.
“Wah, unexpected answer,” muttered Sheng Tong.
“I must judge fairly as a teacher and observer. Even if I wanted to support Liu Shan, Tang Shin had a cultivation level one star higher than him,” Qing Yao explained.
“Hmm, three-star master fighter against two-star. Although it does not look far, but this depends on each individual,” Sheng Tong.
Apart from the two of them, the situation of the arena began to be at the end of the starting line. After Liu Shan and Tang Shin climbed the arena, Bai Ling who jumped out of the arena immediately gave a signal.
“Alright, the first fight of the semi-finals of the Liliang academy tournament. Tang Shin against Liu Shan, the fight begins!”
Gong!
When the giant gong was hit, Tang Shin did not think twice about moving. Ki's collection of energy gushed powerfully from all over his body. Strengthening the physique to be 2x stronger to the point of pushing his body darting rapidly forward.
Grac!
“Smartial technique :Air Throw!”
A certain amount of Ki energy fused right in his palm. Tang Shin threw a powerful swing before Liu Shan who was right in front of him.
Wush!
“Judges of the earth!”
[ Skill : The judgment of the palm of the earth - has been activated ]
Liu Shan retaliated with a similar-looking attack. He struck the air blow coming from the front, as if trying to seal it by shaking the air around.
Dum!
The tremors spread throughout the arena. The opening attack that the two of them mustered left everyone speechless with both eyes and mouth widened.
However, even Tang Shin who was standing in the middle of the arena did not stop moving. He darted forward with his consecutive attacks. The punch, the kick, the release of Ki's energy, everything he put in.
Attack after attack Liu Shan resisted and avoided. Provides a change of air and repeated vibrations that shake one arena.
Dum dum dum!
“Crazy, earlier master Tang Shin did not exert his strength until like this!”
“Don't do that, look. That Liu Shan was still able to dodge and resist his attack!”
“Tcih, beat him up Mr. Tang Shin. Give that cunning guy a lesson!”
“True, beat him!”
The crowd's cheers turned to Tang Shin who looked to be in the upper hand in the fight. This gave Tang Shin an even more impetus to make more moves.
Slep!
“(He became .... faster than before?)”
Liu Shan was surprised once one of Tang Shin's punches he narrowly avoided hitting a strand of his hair. Every attack he exerted became sharper as time went on.
Until one day …
“Smartial technique: third level aura release!”
The Ki energy that spread throughout Tang Shin's body became much stronger in terms of pressure. The swing of his right hand accelerated with Ki energy made Liu Shan forced to position himself to defend.
The double!
“Ugh?!”
Both eyes opened wide as Liu Shan shot backwards withstanding the blow.
Sraakk!
Whoa!!
The audience who saw the attack also cheered loudly against Tang Shin. While Liu Shan himself sharpened his two eyes forward.
“(Previously, he made a change from the flow of Ki energy that was inside his body. In an instant his strength increased by focusing one specific point to throw the attack earlier)”
Unfinished there, Tang Shin had given Liu Shan absolutely room to think. He had already darted forward again by throwing a streak of attacks that coated Ki's energy.
Wush!
“(As expected. He was trying to mess up my rhythm by constantly attacking, in hopes of cornering me)”
The atmosphere of the audience was seen bustling with Tang Shin's name fluttering clearly from ear to ear. Among the crowd of spectators, it was seen Sheng Tong and Qing Yao sitting side by side looking at the fierceness of the fight.
“The situation looks bad for Liu Shan. He continued to be forced to defend by Tang Shin who threw back-to-back attacks,” Sheng Tong muttered.
“Yes, if it continues like this he could lose,” said Qing Yao.
“Wah, I didn't expect you to say such a thing to your own student,” Sheng Tong said.
“I only say the facts based on the running of the fight situation. Who knows, in the middle of the fight there is a wind that comes to change the flow,” explained Qing Yao.
His words wrapped in that thin smile left Sheng Tong speechless in confusion. He who turned around looked at the direction of the fight that still looked the same.
Liu Shan who continued to be cornered with consecutive attacks could do nothing but defend.
“(I think you'll get here)”
One of the punches that came towards him, Liu Shan tepis by throwing it outside. In a split second, he pulled out his technique.
“Three strokes in a row!”
[ Skill : Three consecutive blows – has been activated ]
Dak dak dak!
“Uagh!” erang Tang Shin who crashed backwards.
The situation seemed to turn around after his ribs were smashed by Liu Shan's attack. With the reaction the spectators made speechless with both eyes and mouth wide open. The atmosphere changed in the blink of an eye with claps of halted hands.
Tang Shin who was holding his ribs raised his head and looked at Liu Shan in front. His agonized body was unable to hold himself back until it bent down with one knee.
“Ugh!”
On the other hand, Liu Shan stood tall with a flat look at him.
“To be here only. The flow of the fight will change.”
