Chapter 271: First Round’s Victory

When Ling Chuxi was up in the fighting ring, she noticed that there were a few familiar faces around her. Soon they started to mutter in discussion, “Hey, let’s deal with Ling Chuxi together first. Then we can decide on the victor later on.” After they started discussing amongst themselves, Ling Chuxi realized that the few familiar faces actually belonged to students from Wind Cloud Academy.

Seeing these few people group together to deal with her, Ling Chuxi naturally knew what plans they had. Their calculations were not bad, first they wanted to band together and deal with her and then continue to fight it out amongst themselves. However, even if such calculations were really not bad, they were not wise either.

Ling Chuxi also did not bother talking nonsense as she immediately unhooked the Luo Chen Sword from her waist without bothering to unsheathe it before she flew over to attack. Silver light gleamed alongside the white light of Ling Chuxi’s Battle Qi being emitted and made for an incredibly dazzling sight. Then the people standing in the fighting ring very elegantly flew off one by one.

After the few people who had just been clamoring to deal with Ling Chuxi fell out of the fighting ring together, they looked at each other with horrified faces. It was only after they inspected themselves and found that they were not hurt at all that they were both horrified and grateful. They never expected Ling Chuxi’s cultivation to be so terrifying. It seems that her defeating Chu Jianyi was not accidental. There were rumors saying that she had defeated Chu Jianyi by accident and that in reality her skills were worse than Chu Jianyi’s. However, now it seemed that it was not the case. Moreover, Ling Chuxi didn’t hurt them with her attacks just now, which showed her strength and control of her Battle Qi. The few lucky people glanced at each other with joy, and then left silently. They did not feel the least bit wronged losing like this. Ling Chuxi’s abilities were truly there.

Just like that, Ling Chuxi also easily entered into the next round.

The matches seemed to still be ongoing in the other two fighting rings. As the next round of the competition would only take place tomorrow, Ling Chuxi lazily yawned and turned around to wave to Lan Xinyu and the rest, implying they should return home first.

And so, they left. Not far from the training arena, the fifth princess caught up with them, panting.

“Master!” howled the fifth princess from afar and then like a cannonball, she rushed into Ling Chuxi’s embrace. Due to her great strength, she almost pushed Ling Chuxi to the ground.

“What are you doing?!” snapped Ling Chuxi after she managed to steady herself from the knock she received from the fifth princess’ head till the white in her eyes almost showed.

“I was eliminated!” blurted the fifth princess angrily as a pout appeared on her face.

“Huh?” Ling Chuxi was a little surprised. Although the fifth princess’ cultivation could not be considered high, it was not that bad either. For her to actually be eliminated during the large-scale fight was indeed a little odd.

“Were the contestants in your group very strong?” asked Lan Xinyu curiously.

“That bastard Baili Han was in the same group as me! I was directly picked up and left outside the fighting ring just like that!” cried the fifth princess as she stomped her feet.

“I think he treated you quite well already,” chimed in Xia Zhuoyi once he caught up with them. He had watched the entire fight of the group the fifth princess was in. “He directly attacked and sent the other contestants flying out of the fighting ring. He only he picked you up by the collar and put you down outside the fighting ring.”

After Ling Chuxi and the rest heard this, they finally understood. No wonder! After that, they sighed that the fifth princess’ luck was really not great. She had the misfortune to meet with Baili Han during the first round. Then, there would definitely be no further shows for her. Imagining the scene that happened, it was definitely very funny. Everyone was imagining Baili Han grabbing the fifth princess by her collar emotionlessly and then calmly placing her outside the fighting ring. It was definitely a very comical scene.

The fifth princess saw their expressions that were smiling without actually smiling and she angrily harrumphed. Xia Zhuoyi placated her saying, “It’s all right. There is also a benefit to losing early. You can watch all the interesting matches later on. Just think about it, if you were in a match and your master was also in a match, then you wouldn’t be able to watch, would you?” The fifth princess thought about it and felt that this made sense, so she was no longer sad.

The list of competitors who made it through to the next round was very quickly released and it was not very different from the fifty top contenders mentioned in the book the Feng Yan Union had provided. One could easily see that the Feng Yan Union’s grasp of information was quite accurate. It was just that Ling Chuxi was an outlier.

Ling Chuxi’s opponent for the next match was someone who was ranked twenty plus and there did not seem to be much suspense as to who would win. However, Lan Xinyu’s next opponent was actually E Shulan!
