“That lady truly deserves her title” Wu Xiaotian muttered while smiling wryly to himself as he looks at the back of the alluring figure approaching the audience area. Turning his attention to other things, he saw a pouting Li Yan staring daggers at him, causing quite the cold sweat to form on his back.
‘Caught a rare angry Yan’er’ he thought to himself as their platforms got close to each other, the lady looking at him with an aggrieved eye, the words from her voice appearing in his mind surprising him for a completely different reason than what he expected.
{You never told me that you knew that girl}
Hearing her complain, he almost choked on his own saliva while trying to process her words, only gathering himself to reply after a few second of silence.
{This is the first time I met her} he answered simply while looking at her eye-to-eye, his appearance making Li Yan’s emotions a bit weaker, but the lady managed to hold on for a bit longer to question him more.
{Is it? I feel like husband is really close with her though…} looking at him even more intensely, Li Yan sent another question to his answer as if refusing to let go of the subject.
{We got close though the fight, we understood each other quite well} Wu Xiaotian, well aware of the lady’s complicated thoughts, merely stated the truth with a soft voice
{Then… let’s fight later?} hearing his truthful answers, Li Yan thought that it might be a good idea to spar with him in order for them to understand each other more, something that she really likes to do no matter the time and place.
{Where? In bed, you know I won’t refuse when a beauty like yourself asks for something like that right?} hearing her saying something ambiguous, the immortal-like young man refuses to let go of the opportunity to tease this shy, maiden-like wifey of his.
{N-not in bed you pervert husband!!!} flustered by his answer, Li Yan couldn’t help but form a hefty blush on her face, fanning it with her hand as if to try and remove them, all while simultaneously casting another layer of illusion in order to hide her expression in front of other audience.
{But seriously, are you interested in that girl} she asked with seriousness completely audible in her voice while looking at him with a clear bright eye. Stay with the story on freewebnovel
{Who won’t be, she’s not what she’s showing in the surface, based on what I can pick up, she’s a really sweet and dedicated girl, not to mention she’s the only one who can converse with me through battle so far} Wu Xiaotian replied, not omitting a detail, afraid of the woman exploding on him.
{That’s completely fine to me} she said with a warm smile on her face before continuing her inquiries, this time completely supportive of him as she asked, {Want me to help you chase after her?}
Hearing her question, Wu Xiaotian simply shook his head and return a smile to her while saying, {Let nature take its course, if she really wants to, then I will do everything but if she don’t, then there’s nothing I can do about it}
As the lovers continues to talk about myriad of things, the eighth round finally come into conclusion, something new happening the moment the last two contestants who just finished their match, a massive stone tablet descending from high above, displaying multiple names in pairs, showing a route of the last sixteen participants to the championship.
“So that handsome guy’s name is Su Tian huh…”
“Damn, he’s about to face another beauty, this time, first Zi Yu’er then now that aloof Feng Qing”
“Looks like Lei Xing’s luck is about to run out huh, that Liu Jing he’s about to fight is a considerably strong fighter as well”
“Yeah, not to mention there’s a huge chance he will fight Hua Xian’er in the next round”
Interrupting the voices of the clamoring crowd, the mechanical voice announces the start of the ninth round, everything staying true to the original nature of the competition, with exception to the flashy show within the stone tablet before the fight starts.
‘He’s truly someone from Earth…’ looking at the pre-match video projected by the stone tablet, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but recall those competitions back on Earth that plays a video that seems to hype the audience before they let the two fighters enter the ring where they would fight each other until the rounds are over or one of them were incapacitated by the other.
As the stone platforms moves towards the center, two people start competing once again, the battles proceeding without a hitch as the few remaining participants were reduced even further, the match between Lei Xing and his opponent something that the people were surprised with, as Lei Xing didn’t even try holding back, exploding with his talent the moment the match started, instantly defeating his opponent Liu Jing.
“I got quite the opponent huh…” as his stone platform moves towards the center of the arena, Wu Xiaotian stares towards the lady he’s about to face, the cold, aloof expression on her face seems to be the genuine one, completely different from Hua Xian’er’s empress-like façade.
The lady, seemingly completely ethereal with her small goose egg shaped face sporting a phoenix-like eyes, just stood straight right there, her smooth black hair flowing through the air as strong winds blew through, revealing the sexy outline of her body through her thick clothes, his expression unperturbed as if nothing in this world could ever bother her.
‘Yep, definitely a cold princess’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as he scans the lady up and down while drawing his blade from its sheath, the cold sharp edge reflecting the light of the sun as it moves in an arc, the blade getting quite the attention despite its simple form.
Once the barrier disappears, there’s not even a greeting, nor a word that comes out of the lady’s mouth, her figure completely disappearing from everyone’s sight, popping out again without a single notice behind her opponent, the sword in her hand about to swing down as she utters one word with a cold voice.
“Lecher…” she said before swinging the sword down, her hand blurring when looking at it through the spectators’ perspective, yet her movement is still too slow in Wu Xiaotian’s eyes.
As the sword approaches, she failed to leave even a mark in her opponent’s body as the blade the immortal-like young man is holding blocks the path of her sword. Exerting more strength as if to push the blade down, she was surprised when the young man’s arm did not even budge despite her already doubling the force she’s applying to her sword.
Knowing that she won’t win in a battle of pure brute force, Feng Qing decided to take a step back and create some distance between the two of them, her figure floating through the air effortlessly while looking down on her opponent, almost like she’s provoking the immortal-like young man to try and approach her in the air.
Looking at the lady’s arrogant gaze, Wu Xiaotian just smile at her, not taking her provocation seriously.
“Say little princess…” stretching his arms a bit, Wu Xiaotian performs sets of calisthenic exercise in an extremely fast manner before he suddenly disappears from everyone’s sight, appearing right in front of his opponent, catching the beauty off-guard when she locked eyes with him while he’s asking;
“Do you have any problem with me?”
