Endless Systems
Chapter 94

The outcome of the fight shocked everyone. Even Bai Ling herself as the event supervisor, spoke clumsily announcing the outcome of the fight.

“Pe ... The first fight of the semi-finals ... has been completed. The winner is Liu Shan.”

“Haaahhh?!!”

The same scream came from almost the entire audience. Someone who was said to be ‘licik’ and ‘curang’ in the academy tournament, had defeated one of the talented cultivator's students, namely Tang Shin.

They were made to be silenced by the confusion in seeing the outcome of the fight.

“Must be sure. She won?!”

“This ... true happened?”

On the other hand, Liu Shan who was standing in the middle of the arena turned out from there. Leaving the audience with both eyes and mouth wide open as if in disbelief.

While Qing Yao slammed her shoulders onto the chair while sighing deeply.

“Haahh. She worries me,” shriek Qing Yao.

“You're kidding? I was even surprised by his ability. Although Tang Shin looked like he had cornered her from the start, but all of that had been carefully calculated,”, said Sheng Tong who was sitting next to him.

“Two-star master fighters who win against three-star master fighters. This is the first event in the history of the Liliang academy,” Qing Yao muttered.

The spectators were still left with an incredulous reaction at the fight. The same was true of Bai Ling who approached Tang Shin and saw her student fall unconscious.

However, compared to her being annoyed, Bai Ling actually showed a faint smile on her face.

“(My instruction is correct. You're really interesting, Liu Shan!)”

Instead of the arena atmosphere, Liu Shan who was walking in the middle of the hall looked down at his palms.

The battle he had finished earlier was reflected directly in his head. The system notification that showed he could improve the ability of one of his skills made him inexhaustible.

“(This system .. improved my entire ability in a very short time. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. But clearly, I feel restless)”

For someone who bore such a blessing, it would naturally be happy as an initial reaction. However, as time went on, Liu Shan realized that the power he was carrying right now was extremely strong and fast.

He recalled the events in the Shenmi forest, how one of the wind eye lords, Xuan Wudan wanted to take his head. Back then, Liu Shan thought that he was being courted by Xuan Wudan for having soiled Shenmi forest with blood from the enemies he killed.

“(What's just because Xuan Wudan is after my life?)”

He questioned that once again.

While walking alone from the semi-final victory, Liu Shan showed no smiles or laughter at all.

The empty footsteps that led him in the hallway came to a halt when another step came. Liu Shan stopped while raising his gaze forward.

“Your face is not as expected, Liu Shan.”

Mumbled Hao Fenhua who was standing at a distance in front of him.

“People who have just qualified for the final should not have such a face.”

Liu Shan alternately looked towards his palm and said,

“Entah.”

The face filled with smiles and body gestures could not be silent from Hao Fenhua also disappeared for a moment. He who saw Liu Shan pensively like that made a thing or two stuck in his head.

However, Hao Fenhua continued walking and patted Liu Shan on the shoulder as he passed by.

“I cannot read your mind, but from the look on your face it says that you are not satisfied with the current situation. I hope you will do something before the final comes,” Hao Fenhua said.

He walked towards the arena. Leaving the lowered Liu Shan speechless within the silent passageway.

* * * *

Instead of him, the situation of the spectators was still noisy about the results of the previous fight.

“I still can't believe, master Tang Shin could lose to that person.”

“Sama, even though master Tang Shin had already been seen cornered her from the beginning. But it can be reversed easily.”

One of the spectators entered the conversation. He said,

“Huh, cheating is cheating. He must have used a sneaky trick to defeat master Tang Shin!”

There was no stopping people accusing Liu Shan of being a cunning person. Although it was natural at the beginning, but to get to this moment was becoming increasingly fed up at hearing it.

Himself who sat in the middle of the audience who was cursing Liu Shan victory also made Liu Siyue could not stay silent. He stood up and said,

“Still you guys are yes. He-!”

Before his shout was over, from the direction of the higher seats there was already someone shouting much louder than him.

All eyes were on the person while looking hard.

“Huh, what are you?!”

“Close your mouth. So you keep insulting others. What is your business with the achievements and triumphs of others? You just sit in the audience seats and enjoy the show, but keep criticizing the new guys from the academy who have won the semi-finals. Do you know what?!”

Liu Siyue opened her eyes wide as if in disbelief. He saw another man standing tall defending his own brother's victory in the audience.

It didn't stop there, but some other people were also standing talking.

“True. Sit down and just stay there. The fight was pretty clear to me, and there was no cheating. If you don't accept it, just try going down by yourself and fight Liu Shan!”

The side of the audience looked like it was split into quick. The man who had previously sat down and sneered at Liu Shan was silenced as he ran out from there.

Liu Siyue who saw this could only sit back with a sigh. A faint smile on his face while fusing his two palms together on top of his thighs.

“Thank God. Not everyone here has an evil eye towards big brother.”

At a time when the audience was crowded with themselves, Bai Ling as the host walked back to the middle of the arena.

“All right everyone, sorry to have kept you all waiting!”

“Let's get into the second fight of the semi-finals of the Liliang academy tournament!”

Whaaa!

The attention of the entire audience suddenly turned lively in an instant. Following the direction of Bai Ling's hand, they looked at the entrance hall of the arena from the left.

“From the left side, we have a talented girl from the Xiao family. Young miss and granddaughter of elder Khan, as the head of the Liliang academy. I don't know what kind of show he gave to the entire audience above the arena, but they all looked very enthusiastic. Here you go, Xiao Lin!”

Whaaa!

“Miss Xiao Lin, I love you!”

“Passion continue miss Lin!”

“Beauty once!”

Both male and female, they were stunned by the presence of Xiao Lin who was so elegant with the curves of his body, black hair as glittering as the night sky chime in harmony with the milky-white skin, accompanied by both purple eyes that symbolized the ambition and determination of a young girl.

On the other hand, Bai Ling directed the alternating introductions to the passageway on the right.

“And from the right side, we have a fighter who is quite interesting in the Liliang academy tournament. Self-bearing filled with carefree nature and smiles, she is said to be the ‘cultivator jokers’ of the tournament audience of Liliang academy. Here you go, Hao Fenhua!”

While his name was mentioned, Hao Fenhua walked out with a big smile and greeted the audience with a wave of his hand.

“Haha, hi hi everyone. See you again in the semi-finals. I'm sure there are a lot of beautiful women who miss my handsome appearance on the arena, right?”

He blinks his eyes at the female audience. However, the reaction was that the women threw their faces away and said,

“Too pede is tofu poison!”

“Win first, just back to us.”

Hao Fenhua replied enthusiastically,

“Really yes?! If I win, how?”

A girl blinked her eyes as if she was teasing Hao Fenhua. The response looks very positive and makes him excited in an instant.

However, when he turned around Xiao Lin who was standing a distance away in front of him had a different look on his face and gesture.

“Hao Fenhua, do you know that you're on the arena?”

Hao Fenhua replied,

“Iya, I know that. But there's no harm, isn't it, if I'm looking for motivation or things to boost my spirits?”

He said while laughing.

Although Hao Fenhua and Xiao Lin were spelled out as friends thanks to Liu Shan, but the two were currently standing on top of the arena. Xiao Lin put up the horses while gathering a certain amount of Ki energy around the body.

A wuushh!

“It seems there is no room to relax huh, Xiao Lin,” murmured Hao Fenhua.
