904 One Slap is Enough (1/2)
Chen Xiaobei versus Phantom Rain!
This battle was prearranged by Chen Xiaobei.
The moment Tai Yitan made his way to the finals, he would definitely get second place.
And Huo Yuanba was just waiting to claim the third place.
As long as Chen Xiaobei beat this despicable Phantom Rain, he could then compete against Tai Yitan in the finals and win the first prize.
Huo Yuanba did not need even need to fight to secure the third place.
That way, this time round, the top three winners of the martial arts competition would go to Bei Xuan Faction.
”Whoa! 45,000 combat power Phantom Rain versus the mysterious Chen Xiaobei! This is truly a battle between giants!”
”Yeah! Phantom Rain will not forfeit! Chen Xiaobei must reveal his true strength! Oh, this will be so interesting!”
”I don't think there'd be much of a show! Chen Xiaobei is too young. How strong could he be? He might even be killed just as he steps into the arena!”
”That makes sense. If the gap between their combat power wide then there will no suspense at all. It will that would not be fun to watch at all.”
...
The audience clamored. Initially, they were eager for the fight to begin but when someone brought up Chen Xiaobei's age, everyone was disheartened.
Like what Liu Changqing had said, at Chen Xiaobei's age, even if he had started to train before he was born, there was no way his combat power would be strong enough.
A fight between giants must be a fight between giants of the same level!
The fight would be pointless if one contender was decidedly stronger than the other.
On the observation deck.
”Hahaha! The first prize belongs to my son!” Yue Changking laughed and said contentedly, ”Not only will I be able to keep all of my Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei, Wu Aofeng, Huo Yuanba, and Tai Yitan will belong to Mount Hua Faction! Yes! That's just great!”
Next to him, Su Dongruo wore a look of disgust. He said nothing and that would mean he agreed with the thing that Yue Changkong just said.
”Faction Leader Yue! I have something to say but I'm don't know if I should.” Liu Xiyuan asked cautiously, and swallowed.
”What is it? Just say it!”
Clearly, Yue Changkong was in a good mood.
”Ask Young Master Yue to forfeit…” said Liu Xiyuan.
”What? Did I hear you right?”
Yue Changkong felt as if had just poured a bucket of cold water on him. He was furious.
”Liu Xiyuan! Have you lost your mind? What bullshit are you trying to pull?”
”I…” Liu Xiyuan froze. He knew he had angered Yue Changkong.
So, he had to try to explain himself, ”It's for Young Master Yue's own good... Chen Xiaobei is no ordinary man…”
”How is he no ordinary man? Does he have three heads and six arms?”
Yue Changkong was even more infuriated.
”That… That I cannot say…”
Liu Xiyuan gulped. He did not dare to reveal Chen Xiaobei's identity.
”Cannot say? Or have nothing to say?”
