Endless Systems
Chapter 95
Hao Fenhua was seen standing on both feet. Both hands were mounted forward as if forming fighting horses that were on standby.
“The second match of the semi-finals of the Liliang academy tournament, starts!”
Bai Ling's shout also gave a lively signal to the spectators inside the arena. However, neither Xiao Lin nor Hao Fenhua, the two of them were unmoved at all. Standing still as if their bodies were frozen, even though their eyes were still sharpened towards each other.
Slowly moving leg.
Srek!
Their instincts both became much sharper than ordinary humans. Whenever any one of them wanted to make a move, both of them would definitely realize it simultaneously.
Within his head, Xiao Lin was only thinking of a way to win. And while imagining it, he recalled how Liu Shan had been able to climb the tournament until he reached the final.
“(I'll catch up with him. Therefore, sorry Hao Fenhua)”
Cracks!
Ki's energy flow propagated through one of his legs. Enter and vibrate the ground covered by concrete which is the arena area.
Dum dum dum!
“A-what happened?!”
“Forge?!”
In a time of bewildered spectators, only a few people were aware of the tremors around the arena. And that person included Hao Fenhua himself.
“(From below?!)”
Graak!
The vibration ended up making a change in shape to the ground below and penetrated the concrete. Hao Fenhua mounted both of his arms to withstand the blow from the ground's deformation.
Maak ... Sraaak!
“Uh, whew. It was a very surprising opening attack, Xiao Lin,” Hao Fenhua said as he held himself down from the edge of the arena barrier.
“Hmph!”
“Concentration Ki: Distortion of Nature!”
Compared to using his feet, Xiao Lin now punched toward the ground with both palms. Simultaneously, the reaction from the ground changed shape while aiming for the evading Hao Fenhua repeatedly.
Dum dum dum!
On the other hand, people were stunned to see how Xiao Lin had attacked Hao Fenhua from afar. Including for the academy officials who were sitting at the side of the audience.
“He changed the shape of the ground?!” shouted Sheng Tong.
“It's not an easy technique. Ducting Ki energy into inanimate objects and making them move as you wish drains a lot of Ki and is also one of the difficult techniques to master!”
Qing Yao who was sitting on her broom opened both eyes wide as if in disbelief. Sheng Tong's words at the side made him nod slowly.
“I don't think young lady Lin could use such a technique at such a young age.”
The same reaction came from both of them. Looking back at where elder Khan was, as the grandfather of Xiao Lin was sitting paying attention to the fight.
“Hm, what are you two doing?” ask the elder Khan.
“Chairman, did you know about young miss Lin's ability from the beginning?” qing Yao asked.
Elder Khan shook his head while smiling faintly. Giving Qing Yao and Sheng Tong wide open both his eyes and mouth.
“Eh, elders don't know?!” sahut Qing Yao's.
“I do watch over the boy at all times. But, there was a moment where he was invisible to me. She was not a little girl, it was natural that one day she would go somewhere. Including with the development of his abilities,” explained elder Khan.
“It ... true as well. I guess, this explains why he can win every fight easily,” Qing Yao muttered.
“Iya. By mastering such a technique, young lady Lin must have honed her Ki physique and energy into a higher stage,” Sheng Tong continued.
“Hm, for that I am not sure,” said elder Khan while playing his beard.
The statement of elder Khan made the two of them disappear in a gray mind.
“Eh, what do elders mean?” ask Sheng Tong.
Elder Khan pointed forward as he said,
Eyes headed back to the arena. There was seen how Hao Fenhua was agile in dodging Xiao Lin's attacks from various directions.
Dum dum dum!
“Dia-!”
The stammered Sheng Tong sounded like his words were continued by Qing Yao from the side.
“The movement is not arbitrary. He moved as if he knew where the position of young miss Lin's attack was next.”
No!
“Fast. Although my grandson mastered Ki's controlling ability, but his opponent did not also lose greatly. And from his level, they both look the same, ” said elder Khan who snapped a finger.
“One-star master fighter against each other. The closer to the final, the more interesting the show,” muttered Sheng Tong.
Instead of the analysis, Xiao Lin who was exerting his Ki energy in the fight also sharpened his eyes while frowning.
“(He's very agile. I didn't expect that I had only managed to land one strike on him. It was even a surprise attack)”
Seeing how the swift flow of Ki that came out of his body in channeling the attack, Xiao Lin also cut off his energy while taking a deep breath.
“Ah, you stopped?” mumbling Hao Fenhua.
Wush!
A lightning-fast movement came toward him. A single blink of Hao Fenhua's eyes was crucial to avoid the blow that came in mid-air.
Slep!
“Uwa, almost only!” hao Fenhua.
Before the feet reached the arena floor, Xiao Lin swung his hand as if he was pulling something.
Grak grak!
“(From the back?!)”
Again and again, the ground beneath the arena floor changed motion towards Hao Fenhua.
Nah!
The shrewd movements from him were only able to give a little of his hair against Xiao Lin's attack. He dodged and jumped back while resting on one of the messy lands.
“Hup, fiuuhh. Almost once, you caught me off guard just now.”
Seeing how Hao Fenhua reacted made Xiao Lin cluck.
“You can be serious a little ga?”
The look on his laughing face and gesture that could not be silent stopped for a moment. He looked towards Xiao Lin cautiously.
“What's up?” suhut Hao Fenhua's.
“I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't accept if you underestimate me like this,” Xiao Lin said.
Hao Fenhua opened his eyes wide. He scratched the back of his head while chuckling lightly replied,
“Ah, it turns out you think so yes.”
The way he replied with such a laugh also made Xiao Lin become even more provoked. He sharpened his eyes while a certain amount of Ki energy overflowed slowly from all over his body.
Wosch!
“That's enough. Whatever it is -!”
The srek!
His words halted as soon as Xiao Lin saw Hao Fenhua's body gesture change in a moment. Compared to an innocent smile, now he smiled thinly while putting up fighting horses.
“Take it easy. From the beginning, I never underestimated you kok.”
Ki's energy and the air around Hao Fenhua felt heavier. Not only Xiao Lin, but some people within the arena were also aware of it. Just like Liu Shan who was looking from the top seat among the spectators.
“(Evenings around it changed. He ... this time no kidding)” Inner Xiao Lin.
