Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.37 - The Strange Body

Bai Yan's condition turned out to be more severe than expected, she lost a lot of blood which left her in a keritic condition. Luckily Bai Chi had enough valuable resources to help Bai Yan get better.

"If it wasn't for Xiao Jung, the boy's life would have been completely wiped out!" Bai Chi looked at his sister lying in the treatment room clenching her hands.

She was not willing to have her younger sister enter the sect to be so humiliatingly treated. Although he was also furious because Bai Yan also made him have to bear the shame, but as an older brother he should be able to protect his younger brother.

Fu Chen was being bowed while holding his head after his fight with Bai Yan was over. It was obvious that his mentality was being shaken at the moment.

"Fu Chen, calm down. I'm sure he's fine, you don't have to blame yourself.." Qiao Wu always tried to calm Fu Chen down since they left the arena. But it was not an easy matter for Qiao Wu as Fu Chen did not respond to it at all.

"Why...why does my body do it? i... I can't remember anything... What did I do to her?"

Fu Chen's mind was extremely chaotic, his body felt so hot but that heat was not something that hurt him, but rather the overflowing passion after his fight with Bai Yan.

"Fu Chen. Fu Chen!"

The faint Qiao Wu voice heard in Fu Chen's ears became increasingly clear with time to make him come to a realization.

Ukuk! ahuk!

Fu Chen coughed with a reddened face because Qiao Wu's face was so close to him. "A-what's up?" fu Chen said while turning his eyes.

Qiao Wu heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank God... Are you okay? you don't have to force yourself anymore. in second place is also good enough…"

"It's okay, I can still fight.You'll see the results later." Fu Chen rubbed Qiao's head with a gentle smile.

Qiao Wu turned his face while puffing his cheeks. "Basic... Then quickly defeat him!"

Qiao could not help but blush from Fu Chen's smile, the gaze he had expected all this time could finally be clearly seen.

"Hm, alright.my body also feels so tired, I will end it quickly.." obviously if Fu Chen were to lie to Qiao Wu, the heat on his body did not even decrease at all. Unbeknownst to Fu Chen, his black dantian also continued to absorb the qi gathered around his body.

"You done yet?" Tan Bao asked as Fu Chen climbed the arena.

"What do you mean?" Reply Fu Chen casually.

"Nothing," Tan Bao turned around and prepared himself beside the referee. While Fu Chen just shrugged his shoulders with a face full of question marks.

"Fu Chen, if you repeat your mistake then you will be disqualified and get a punishment from the elder, do you understand?" The warning given by the referee was heard clearly by Fu Chen.

"understand."

"I'll end this quickly, so just relax." Tan Bao smiled widely, the two of them then started to put up the horses.

"I really intend to do it." The cells in Fu Chen's body seemed to move and made his body feel so primed. 'I have to remove heat from this body, but how?.'

As usual, Tan Bao attacked Fu Chen first but his attack pattern was slightly different, maybe he realized his opponent this time was not easy.

Although Fu Chen was drifting in his mind but his gaze never escaped Tan Bao, he managed to dodge and fend off a few of Tan Bao's punches easily.

"It looks like you're still holding back, yeah." Although Tan Bao's attack had not hit Fu Chen yet, his face still looked confident.

"You too, if you don't give up all your abilities then I'll end it."

"Haha. interesting, I will follow your will." Instantly around Tan Bao's body faintly looked satisfied with the energy enveloping his body.

'He already has qi?' Fu Chen was very surprised by what he saw, even he himself had to spend 40 grains of purple crystals to be at the early stage second grade swordsman stage, it was helped by his father and the knowledge he learned.

Not only was Fu Chen shocked, but the entire audience that was watching was also the same. Although the strength of a middle-stage third-rate swordsman was quite common among the outer disciples, but only a handful of people had ever had one at such a young age.

"Hahaha..it is not in vain that I volunteered to supervise this match, this time I will get a strong disciple." The elder who watched the match on the podium laughed in satisfaction.

"Well, how's Fu Chen?" Tan Bao smiled widely before starting to attack.

His speed did not differ much from before but the power in each of his punches became heavier. Despite having a considerable difference in strength, Fu Chen did not want to underestimate his opponent.

Seeing from Tan Bao's movements made Fu Chen confident that this child was an expert in hand-to-hand combat. Every punch given Tan Bao made Fu Chen's blood boil, his passion was already unable to bear.

Despite trying but it felt so delicious, Fu Chen's body was filled with energy. 'Shit, I can't hold back any further."

In a few breaths, Fu Chen focused his mind on his right hand, he watched Tan Bao for a moment and it turned out that Tan Bao's attack had many gaps.

"Give up boc-aghk-!"

Tan Bao was unable to end his sentence when suddenly a punch so fiercely floated into his stomach.

Fu Chen immediately unleashed his punch after successfully concentrating the qi on his right hand to make Tan Bao bounce off the edge of the arena.

"He's not dead, is he?" Fu Chen looked at Tan Bao from a distance who was already lying unconscious.

"Uhuk-uhuk.. water, bring me water!" The supervisory elder choked on his own breath when he saw Tan Bao drifting to the edge of the arena. Fu Chen's previous punch also made dust in the arena fly.

"Whaaat?!"

"Crazy, what the hell is that kid? I'm not sure if the inner disciple can do it either."

Xiao Jung's friends cheered to voice their astonishment, while Xiao Jung himself bit his lower lip while holding a wide smile.

"You're doing it again, boy." The referee in the arena could only shake his head with a rude sigh before announcing Fu Chen as the winner.

Fu Chen immediately approached Tan Bao after he was declared the winner, the child's condition was not too bad maybe only a few broken ribs.

"Suppose this is a reply from your previous opponents," Fu Chen cupped his hands together then returned to the participant bench.

"You're too much." Although Qiao Wu was relieved but he also couldn't bear to see Fu Chen's opponents always end up in the treatment room.

"I know." Fu Chen replied briefly.

fu Chen's answer was so flat and cold to Qiao Wu but he was trying to understand Fu Chen's current condition.

Fu Chen himself dissolved thinking about the condition of his body, the heat in his body began to slowly dissipate after he unleashed a punch on Tan Bao.

"Is there a certain time limit for him to disappear? or even mekin.." Fu Chen could only sigh in relief, he would think about the matter later, the most important thing right now was what privilege the elder would give the first rank.

Fu Chen guessed that if only permission was granted to enter the library pavilion then there would be disappointment for those who managed to enter the top three.

The supervisory elder got up from his seat and began to speak, "Thank you, to the disciple who has participated in this match and congratulations to the disciple who made it through to the last ten. Although this match was a lot of unexpected things, but it was a natural thing…"

As the Elder was giving his speech, Xiao Jung was about to leave the audience bench.

"Hey, where are you going?" Ask one of Xiao Jung's friends.

"Go back to the dormitory. Nothing else catches my eye here." Xiao Jung replied briefly.

"That child, his behavior is not predictable, but he dragged us here but now he just left."

"I'll go, too."

"… As the sect leader promised, those of you who managed to enter the top ten will be given the opportunity to enter the library pavilion for five hours, look for the martial arts that you like and as the first prize winner, I will add two hours for you to find the appropriate scripture…"

Fu Chen huffed at hearing the elder's announcement, it was useless that he fought desperately to seize the first position. He then glanced towards Qiao Wu who looked so happy.

"He's so lucky, he didn't even sweat a bit after getting into the top ten." Fu Chen could only resignedly accept his stupidity, should he also do the same with Qiao Wu.
