156: Chapter 158 A Petty Person's Triumph

"The first contestant is Lin Kuang from the Sect! He is now a third-stage Sword Cultivator!"

"And his opponent is the Loose Cultivator Li Kui, a fourth-stage Sword Cultivator! Let's see whose swordsmanship is superior!"

Boom—

"Wow! As expected of a Sect Disciple, Fellow Daoist Lin Kuang defeated Li Kui, who is one stage higher than him, with just a single strike!"

"Ah! How is that possible? The gap between the third and fourth stage is so huge! How did he defeat his opponent?"

"Are you stupid? The Sect is a major Sect; you can't judge them based on past experience!"

"As expected of the man I have my eyes on, he's simply amazing!" Yu Xiaotang shouted from the competition arena.

"Lin Kuang's combat talent is truly strong!" Xiao Rou had been helping Li Li manage the household, so she hadn't watched Lin Kuang fight from such close range.

"It seems that the Genius who only appears once in a millennium in Qiongming has finally emerged." Bai Zhi pressed against her chest, watching Lin Kuang from afar.

The Sect and the Yin Yang Pavilion have always been at odds; Bai Zhi even had thoughts of getting rid of Lin Kuang, but she wasn't sure if Ye Linyuan was still alive, and besides, the opponent was only at the third stage, so it didn't require her to take action personally.

"Lin Kuang used the Blaze Beast Sword Intent to knock his opponent flying!"

Although Lin Kuang couldn't use skills, his Magic Treasure all had amplification effects, and coupled with the training from the past few days, he had also slightly comprehended the cold Blaze Beast Sword Intent.

The crowd below was screaming at Lin Kuang's cross-stage challenge; the third stage was a single phase, and he was the first person capable of cross-phase challenges.

The three girls were not interested in the Grand Competition; they were purely here to watch Lin Kuang fight for the thrill of it.

After Lin Kuang finished two matches, Yu Xiaotang and the others prepared to go backstage to see Lin Kuang.

"Wow! Lin Kuang is so strong! He basically kills his opponents in seconds! And his learning ability is not weak either; I only taught him a few lines of incantations!"

"And he was able to comprehend the Blaze Beast Sword Intent of the Nine Suns Burning Fire Art!"

"That's right!"

"I really hope he can overcome all obstacles and win the championship! Let my brother see what a gap there is!"

"Let him know that in front of true Genius, effort is futile!" Li Li used her heartfelt praise of Lin Kuang to cover up the fact that her brother had lost his first match.

"Don't worry, Li Li, Lin Kuang's strength is so strong, he will definitely make your brother turn over a new leaf!"

Xiao Rou comforted her, not knowing what else to say.

Yu Xiaotang, standing between the two, was overjoyed inwardly: As expected of the man I have my eyes on, he captured their hearts in an instant.

But when would she be able to capture Xiao Rou?

"By the way, we can't be too happy yet; this is only the first day of the competition! There are still several days left."

As Lin Kuang's woman, Yu Xiaotang needed to establish a humble image for him on the outside.

However, deep down, Yu Xiaotang wished she could immediately hug Lin Kuang and kiss him like crazy!

"I'm sorry, three ladies, you cannot visit the contestant backstage!"

"You have to wait until today's competition is over, or actively contact the contestant and have him come out!"

Yu Xiaotang looked at the two guards in front of her in confusion: "Ah? Isn't the match over? Why can't he come out?"

"That's right, I also saw him win!"

Yu Xiaotang grabbed the guard's hand: "I am his Dao Companion; can't I go in either?"

Yu Xiaotang was so nervous because she heard the sounds of punching and kicking behind the door, and she was a bit worried about Lin Kuang.

"Oh! This lady, you probably don't know the rules of our competition!" Seeing Yu Xiaotang so persistent, the guard had no choice but to explain the rules.

"The Grand Competition is a points-based system; whoever gets 16 points first qualifies for the top eight, and they can come out once during the process!"

"If both parties have the same points, it depends on their win rate; the one with the lower win rate is eliminated first! But if you are defeated three times in total, you lose your qualification to challenge!"

"Just like you said, he won twice, so he should be preparing for his third match now! Therefore, if you don't contact him actively, he can't come out!"

"What kind of competition rule is this?" Yu Xiaotang didn't quite understand, but she expressed her respect.

"I'm sorry, we are also afraid of cheating midway! Please forgive us!"

Yu Xiaotang also knew that Lin Kuang was competitive, so she didn't go in to disturb him.

So, she wandered around outside with Xiao Rou and Li Li for a while, then returned to the spectator stand.

...

"Xiao Zhang, what level have you reached in the Yin and Yang Interaction?" Bai Zhi sat on the edge of the hot spring, grooming her hair.

"The fourth level; I have already learned the Art of Desire Poison!" A young woman wearing black and white Daoist robes said calmly.

"Good! I am giving you a task!" Bai Zhi tapped her hand lightly, and a Talisman fell into Xiao Zhang's hand.

"This person is named Lin Kuang, a Disciple of the Sect. I want you to plant the Desire Poison on him. You stick this Talisman on your abdomen; it can increase the effect of the Desire Poison!"

"Understood, Elder! Then I will go now!"

"No! Go at night!"

...

"Hey! Li Li, look, is the person on the competition field your brother?" Sharp-eyed Xiao Rou had already spotted Li Dou.

Li Li turned her head to confirm: "Yes! That's him!"

"Oh? Is that so? I'll go and check out his current level, and by the way, gather some information for Lin Kuang!" The competition had multiple arenas running simultaneously; she only knew that Li Dou had lost one match.

She still didn't know his true strength, and mainly, he wasn't a combat class, so he could use a Spirit Beast.

Seeing her brother walk onto the arena, Li Li felt very conflicted, but seeing the two energetic people, she followed them.

"Oh, isn't this our old friend?" The referee also spotted Li Dou at a glance and then teased him.

"How is your Spirit Beast training going? You shouldn't be kicked away with one blow this time, right?"

"It has reached the pinnacle!" Although Li Dou had lost one match, his confidence had not waned.

"Is that so? Then what place are you preparing to take?"

"Champion! The champion this time must be me!" Upon hearing this question, Li Dou couldn't help but get excited.

"Hahaha! Talking big again!"

The audience in the front row also started teasing him; in their eyes, he was just a clown! Clearly a Pill Cultivator, yet he insisted on participating in this kind of fighting competition.

Moreover, he had been participating for over 10 years, and his best result was only the top 4, and this year he even encountered the dark horse Lin Kuang!

Hopefully, when he gets defeated this time, he won't be like a nagging aunt who refuses to leave.

It was hard for everyone to take an interest in him; at first, they were very annoyed by his behavior, but now they all treated him as a joke.

"Li Dou, get ready to face your first enemy on this competition arena!"

The Grand Competition required changing arenas after a loss; Li Dou knew he couldn't lose this time. If he lost, he wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Kuang in front of his sister!

Fighting against Li Dou was a third-stage Body Cultivator, who was just a small fry in front of Li Dou's Spirit Beast, and was resolved in one move.

Li Dou looked at his opponent who had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up; before the referee could speak, he jumped over, with a condescending expression.

"Yo! Kid! You still need to practice more!"

"You can't even dodge such a simple attack; what a piece of trash!"

"Who told you to run into me, this year's champion!"

"You can continue to work hard next year!"

Li Dou jumped around excitedly on the arena.

The three people on the spectator stand had different expressions, each showing a different look.
