Chapter Fifteen: Fierce Competition

  Ling Tianyu heard the cheers of the audience and smiled at the judge, saying: "Judge, announce the result!" At this time, the judge was already stunned, but he was the one who understood what had just happened. In his heart, he thought: "This is really an eight-year-old child, with only first-class peak cultivation, and I clearly felt a weak innate aura from his body earlier!"

  Ling Tianyu furrowed his brow and said, "Judge, judge!" Upon hearing Ling Tianyu's voice, the judge suddenly came to his senses. "Ah! What's wrong?" Ling Tianyu smiled and said, "Lu Xuan has no more strength to fight back, shouldn't we announce the result now?" The judge was suddenly enlightened and loudly declared: "Ling Family's Ling Tianyu wins!" The audience's cheers erupted once again!

  Ling Tianyu walked calmly into the crowd of Ling's family. Ling Tianyu's father, Ling Yun, praised: "Well done, Tianyu!" Ling Tianyu humbly replied: "Father is overpraising me!" At this moment, Ling Tianxuan jumped up and ran over, saying: "Tianyu, you're really amazing! But I'll work hard too, and when the time comes, you have to cheer for me too!" "Mmm, okay, sister!" Ling Tianyu happily replied to Ling Tianxue. Ling Tianxuan and Ling Tianyang also came over to congratulate him.

  Seeing Ling Tianyu's victory bringing glory to the family at this moment, a hint of gloom flashed in Ling Tianxuan's eyes. Ling Tianyu noticed Ling Tianxuan's expression and comforted him: "Brother, you are also an outstanding genius, there will be opportunities for you to shine in the future, sorry about this time!" Ling Tianxuan replied: "It's okay, I know all this, actually it's my own fault that things turned out like this. But next time, I'll compete with you together, so beware!"

  "Hmm!" The two exchanged a smile, and a hint of affection appeared in their eyes. Ling Tianyu thought: "Tian Xuan is actually not a bad person..."

  At this time, a young man walked towards Ling Tianyu, and this young man was none other than Ling Tianyu's older brother, Ling Tianfan. Ling Tianfan smiled and said: "Congratulations to you, Tianyu! The next match is mine, so be sure to watch carefully. If I meet you, I won't show any mercy!" Ling Tianyu looked at his older brother, and the feeling he had always gotten from Ling Tianfan was that of a steady and reliable person. So he said to Ling Tianfan: "Got it, big bro! You'd better do your best too, don't lose before you even meet me!"

  At this time, the judge continued to announce: "Next round, Wang Jia Wang Junwen, Ling Jia Ling Tianfan please come on stage!" Ling Tianfan smiled at Ling Tianyu and said: "Let's go, little brother!"

  On the stage, Wang Junwen of the Wang family looked at the sea of people around him and trembled with fear. He thought to himself, "Why am I so unlucky? I've encountered a formidable opponent who is a late-stage cultivator! Do you want me to live or die?" Ling Tianfan smiled as he gazed at him, and after the referee announced the start, Ling Tianfan said, "Let's begin!" Wang Junwen thought, "Forget it, being afraid now won't do any good. I'll have to give it my all!" He then launched a fierce attack on Ling Tianfan.

  Ling Tianfan's fighting style was extremely steady, and he was very good at calculations. Every time his opponent attacked, Ling Tianfan could find the weak point in an extremely short period of time and counterattack swiftly, leaving people around him amazed. In just three moves, Wang Junwen was defeated by Ling Tianfan! Cheers erupted again. The referee announced that Ling Tianfan had won the victory. This match was within the expected range of a fight, so it didn't cause much sensation.

  Ling Tianyu praised: "Big brother's battle is really unique, but particularly steady, I didn't think big brother was so strong, it seems that he is also a powerful opponent for me!" Ling Feng heard his son's words and smiled: "You little brat, don't think you're the only genius in the entire continent, every family has outstanding geniuses. You must work hard, losing isn't a big deal, after all, you're not even nine years old yet. Next time at the Tianfeng Conference, come participate and that first place is yours for sure!"

  "Don't worry, Father! I still want to win the championship in this Wind Heaven Conference. I will definitely work hard!"

  Ling Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, Father believes you have this ability, but be careful not to be too careless, remember not to force yourself too much, after all, you're still young." Upon hearing his father's words, Ling Tianyu felt warmth in his heart and replied: "I know, Father, I know what to do."

  The next match was more intense, and the audience in the stands were all excited. Mokou from the Moku family and Chūkō from the Chū family both entered the top 16. Finally, the judge announced Ling Tian Xue. Before going on stage, Ling Tian Xue smiled slightly at Ling Tian Yu and said: "It's my turn now, hurry up and cheer me on!" Ling Tian Yu replied: "Of course, don't lose here okay?" Ling Tian Xue confidently walked onto the stage.

  Ling Tianxue's opponent was also a top-notch expert in the early stages. The two had already started entwining with each other, Ling Tianxue excelled at evasive maneuvers, while his opponent excelled at attacking, and the two were stuck in a stalemate of you-attack-I-defend. The two were evenly matched, and for a time, it was impossible to determine who would win or lose. Every time Ling Tianxue's opponent launched an attack, their own attacks fell short, infuriating them to the point where they shouted: "I'm so angry! Can't you just engage in a fair and square duel with me?"

  Ling Tianxue made a "you're so dead" face at his opponent and said, "I'm not good at attacking, only an idiot would engage in a head-on confrontation with you!" "Ahh! You're really infuriating me to death!" Ling Tianxue's opponent was so angry that he started panting heavily, his movements no longer as swift as before.

  At this time, Ling Tianyu under the stage looked at it and smiled slightly, saying to the people around him: "It seems that my sister is going to win, the opponent has already panicked and started to mess up!" The people around nodded in agreement.

  Ling Tianxue calmly parried the incoming attack, her opponent's moves becoming increasingly disorganized. Ling Tianxue sensed her opponent's breathing growing more urgent. Finally, her opponent revealed an opening, and Ling Tianxue seized the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack. Her opponent was caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, flailing wildly in response. Liu Tianxue grasped the perfect moment. "Tian Yan Pao" - with a sword energy attack, she struck. "Boom!" The opponent was knocked flying. Ling Tianxue thus secured her victory.

  Ling Tianyu praised: "Sister, you're really great! I didn't expect your battles to be so calm every time!" Ling Tianxue slightly puffed out her chest and said without modesty: "Of course, when facing people of the same level, I won't lose. Except for you, that pervert." Ling Tianyu chuckled and focused on watching the next match.

  One battle after another came to an end, and finally, the fight of the person Ling Tianyu had been paying attention to arrived. This person was Wang Li from the Wang family. Wang Li's opponent was a beautiful young girl named Mu Yueling from the Mu family, whose cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the acquired realm.

  Wang Li said to Mu Ling: "Haha, little girl, you're unlucky to have met me, I won't let you go!" Mu Ling coldly snorted and said: "Less nonsense, if you want to fight then fight!" Wang Li continued to taunt: "Oh yeah, the little girl has quite a temper, come on!"

  Mù Yǔ Líng charged at Wáng Lì without fear. Wáng Lì, not to be outdone, brought out his own eight-layered strength. Looking at Wáng Lì, who was a rough and violent man himself, his fighting style was also very crude. The veins on his face bulged, causing Mù Yǔ Líng to retreat repeatedly.

  At this time, the audience below couldn't help but shout: "Wang Li, you're a scoundrel! You don't understand how to cherish and respect women at all. Bullying a woman, you're not a man!" The audience booed and scolded Wang Li. Hearing the shouts from the audience, Wang Li felt stifled in his heart: "This is too much! My fighting style has always been like this. I didn't attack her, should I just stand there and let her attack me?"

  At this time, Wang Li could no longer bear the jeers of the audience below and hastily used his full strength to quickly end the fight. Wang Li still scratched his head awkwardly and said to Muyuling: "Sister, sorry about that! Although you're a girl, I couldn't lose the match either, right?" Muyuling snorted coldly and said: "It's just that my skills are inferior to yours, so there's no need for you to apologize." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked down from the stage.

  At this time, Wang Li won the game, but the audience had no cheers, only constantly saying his wrongs. Wang Li's face was red with shame and quickly opened another arena. Ling Tianyu laughed loudly under the stage: "Ah, it's really an interesting person!"

  The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset fell to the waist of the mountain. Finally, today's last game arrived. This game is also the most concerned about Ling Tianyu. This trial is a trial between Lu Yun of the Lu family and a mid-term master of the Wang family.

  The match began, and the strong player from the Wang family took the initiative to launch an attack on Lu Yun. Lu Yun was not weak either, and he countered with a calm expression that never changed, always looking so serene and composed. Every time Lu Yun attacked, it was stronger than his opponent's, putting them at a disadvantage. The opponent couldn't find any opportunity to counterattack, and at this moment, Lu Yun seemed to be playing with his opponent.

  At last, the two of them exchanged blows for thirty or so rounds, and Lu Yun seemed to have gotten bored. Originally calm eyes suddenly flashed a hint of sharpness, one sword chopped out, and with ease defeated his opponent. The audience below were all shocked, originally thinking that the other side could still hold on for a while, unexpectedly it was said that they lost and they did lose.

  At this time, Ling Tianyu was carefully observing his opponent. Lu Yun turned around, as if he knew that Ling Tianyu was looking at him, and Lu Yun gave a slight smile to Ling Tianyu. This made Ling Tianyu feel that the smile was so mysterious. Ling Tianyu also politely nodded to Lu Yun.

  The host of the Lu family walked onto the stage and said to everyone: "Everyone, today's 32-to-16 match has ended, and tomorrow we will proceed with the 16-to-8 match. Please make sure all participants are well-prepared. We have already prepared dinner for you, so please go back and rest well. The competition will continue tomorrow." After finishing speaking, people gradually dispersed and went back.
