The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 87 | Unexpected Defeat
When Xu Huang's attack power hit Shen Long's body, a fierce explosion sounded echoing throughout the entire arena of the match. The dazzling light that was caused by the impact made all the spectators close their eyes.
The clash of two powerful energies swept around him making the already distant audience still exposed by him. Many onlookers were bounced away even injured by the sweep of energy.
The lower tribune where the members of the colleges and sects present were also messy by the sweep of energy. Even though they were not injured, they were also hard-earned to stand back.
While the upper stands where the royal officials and his family, who had been protected by spiritual energy were not too affected by the sweep of the energy, there was a crack in the protective spiritual energy.
“Crazy, in the event of the next collision, this protective energy will be destroyed” shouted King Liu.
“I didn't expect Shen Long to be able to withstand a strong attack from Xu Huang so far”.
In the middle of the arena, after the light had gradually dimmed it appeared that Shen Long was still standing in place, his body still giving off a fainter light yet Xu Huang had bounced back sitting in front of Shen Long.
From the corner of his mouth dripped blood, his body trembled while his dominator sword was thrown from his hand. His eyes were wide in disbelief even though he had used a forbidden medicine, still unable to defeat Shen Long.
“Why?” he murmured inwardly still did not believe and understood this.
Shen Long walked over to him slowly.
“You lost because you didn't train your cultivation well, but used medicines to raise briefly because you believed your technique could purify it.”
“Not the use of the drug is common in cultivation improvement?” suhut Xu Huang did not understand.
“The forbidden medicine directly forcibly raised the strength of the human body to a certain stage, while the other drugs only provoke human energy to slowly absorb energy to the extent of their body's ability and train it”
This is the difference between the use of doping drugs and vitamins for humans. Illegal drugs are classified as doping that can be dangerous for its users, this is of course different from vitamins that nourish the human body.
The Eternal Mountain Sect had developed a forbidden medicine by employing some world-renowned healers to forcibly work in the development of various medicines.
The Royal Priestess came back shocked, her face darkened unexpectedly even after using the forbidden medicine, her disciple still could not defeat Shen Long. His body trembled shivering with his anger, he was soon about to leave the place of the upper tribune.
“Your Majesty, I will check the state of my students.” he said with a sour face
“Remember the outcome of the bet the elder Xu” the empress of the king smiled smugly reminiscent of him.
The eyes of the Royal Priest twitched hearing that “Your Majesty need not worry, I will arrange it” said the Priest who in his heart was upset.
In the arena Xu Huang was still sitting motionless, his face dark, his body shivering from not accepting this unexpected defeat. He was unable to move his body due to the stiff impact of the force earlier.
The spectators who saw the match gaping, no one expected the result to be like this. Shen Long's difference in strength with Xu Huang looked far away, even though they were both at the level of the God Priestess.
Shen Long supporters cheered immediately, as the match committee announced Shen Long's victory. What an unexpected result.
“I don't accept!” shouted Xu Huang who had now been able to move his body then charged in despair towards Shen Long with the rest of his final strength.
Shen Long simply endured that desperate attack with his palm. When Xu Huang's fist hit his palm. Shen Long blasted his strength and condensed Xu Huang's body a few steps away with a deep wound.
The audience did not believe Xu Huang who did not acknowledge his defeat, instead attacked back in despair. The result was embarrassing itself.
Liu's royal martial arts match this year ended in an absolute victory at the hands of Shen Long.
Chairman Mu was so excited that he shed tears, not expecting Shen Long as his college representative to be able to raise the name of Wuming college to a higher level.
“Chairman Mu, Wuming college is really lucky” said Sacred Sword sect head Dong Fang Lei.
“Chairman Dong Fang is too humble, our little college is nothing from the Holy Sword sect.” said chairman Mu who also humbled
“However Shen Long is the representative of Wuming college. Congratulations to Mu”'s chairman Dong Fang Lei said.
“Chairman, if it is pleasing, we invite the Sacred Sword sect for a small celebration tonight. Please the chairman not reject it for our friendship” invite chairman Mu.
“Alright, we'll come. I also want to meet Shen Long before returning to our sect” sect head Dong Fang Lei said as he left the arena of the match that was over.
Chairman Mu of the Wuming college also received many congratulations from other sects and colleges on his vice-winner in this match. Chairman Mu's face was beaming and excited about Shen Long's victory.
Meanwhile, the organizers called Shen Long to board the upper stands to meet King Liu to receive the Thousand Year Full Ginseng present he was looking for.
“Please wait for elder Yang and miss Xie, I have managed to obtain all three medicinal ingredients to save you” Shen Long murmured in his excited heart after receiving the gift.
“Shen, your talent in martial arts is incredible. Liu Kingdom is very proud to have such a talented person like you”, King Liu told Shen Long.
“Hamba is only lucky Your Majesty. Servant gets tremendous help from many parties.” said Shen Long humbled King Liu, bowing his head
The king's empress smiled at Shen Long's humility, she felt it was not in vain to help him.
“The kingdom will hold a banquet tonight, come Shen” the king's consort told him.
“Force Your Majesty's servant, there are some important things that I have to do. Another time I will definitely come” said Shen Long refused the invitation subtly.
“Alright, a swordsman should prioritize things that are more important than just a banquet. I understand him” said King Liu.
“I'll invite you next time in person” he continued back
“Good Your Majesty. Slave will definitely come” said Shen Long
After that, Shen Long said goodbye to the King and Empress and returned to the Wuming college residence. He did not waste any time to give the full Ginseng a thousand years to elder Yun to make an antidote to the potion propellant poison.
“Shen, Yun Chao and I will make medicine to heal elder Yang and miss Xie. You rest for trying so hard to get it” elder Yun said.
“Good. I leave everything to the elder and chairman of Yun”, Shen Long said.
