Ch350 - Sympathy

Sitting on the viewing platform opposite the ring, Xuanyuan Chen, Feng Pianpian, the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder, Bai Yunfei, Li Ruyue, Huang Shi’an, and several other Elders who came to see the excitement were also watching the match between the two below.

“Master, I see that my Junior Brother’s star swordsmanship is getting more and more exquisite.” Bai Yunfei said with a smile.

“En, this brat is pretty good.” Nodding, Xuanyuan Chen said calmly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the performance of his apprentice.

“Junior Nephew Jiang’s swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, but my apprentice is not bad after many years of learning.” At this point, the Sixteenth Elder laughed. Huang Jie was his Eldest Disciple and has always been his pride.

“Of course,XiaoJie is a child who studies hard and knows how to bear hardships. He has played every move and style very steadily.” Nodding, Xuanyuan Chen agreed.

“The Sect Master is over praising. My useless Grandson still needs a lot of training.” Smiling, the Seventh Elder said modestly. As the Eldest Grandson of the Huang family, although Huang Jie’s swordsmanship aptitude was very average, Huang Jie was a person who was not afraid of hardships, tiredness, and was indomitable. It was precisely because of his diligence and hard work that his swordsmanship was very proficient and exquisite. For this Grandson who was willing to endure hardships, the Seventh Elder also had a lot of love for him.

“XiaoJie’s aptitude is not as good as Junior Brother Jiang’s. Now he can barely make a draw even thoughXiaoJie is older than Junior Brother Jiang.” As a father, Huang Shi’an saw it very clearly.

Jiang Xu was a well-known cultivation genius in the sect, with top-notch cultivation aptitude, top-notch understanding, and top-notch swordsmanship. Moreover, the other party had also realized the profound power of stars, which was a great help in swordsmanship. Therefore, Jiang Xu’s potential was endless. In time, let aloneXiaoJie, even a second-class Elder like him might not be Jiang Xu’s opponent. And his Son Huang Jie was far inferior to Jiang Xu in terms of talent, aptitude and comprehension in swordsmanship. However,XiaoJie’s only advantage was diligence. Hard work would make up for one’s weakness, andXiaoJie was much older than Jiang Xu, so he could barely stay on par. He had to say that the Sect Master’s vision was really unique and sophisticated. A rough jade like Jiang Xu, when polished, was indeed a material meant to shine.

“Chenchen, willXiaoXu win?” Feng Pianpian asked uncertainly.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled. “This kind of swordsmanship competition is just a competition. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. The important thing is that you can learn from your opponent. Temporary success or failure is nothing.”

“Oh!” Feng Pianpian nodded, half understanding.

“Oh, they’ve been fighting for so long, why haven’t they reached a conclusion yet?” Looking at the two fighting in the arena, Li Ruyue was very anxious, fearing that her Grandson would be injured by Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu looked very aggressive, his moves were open and compact, and he didn’t hesitate in his moves. What ifXiaoJie was injured?

“Don’t worry, the two children are just sparring, not a life-and-death competition, what are you worried about?” The Seventh Elder comforted his wife softly.

“En.” After glancing at the Seventh Elder, Li Ruyue nodded, but didn’t say anything else.

Looking at Jiang Xu on the ring, Jiang Yuantu frowned, thinking:If Xiao Xu loses and gets injured, Mufeng will be very sad.

“He’s already the strength of nine stars in the Spiritual Realm?” Gong Rui was shocked upon realizing this.

“It’s not a big deal. Didn’t he just use pills and spiritual treasures and spirit stones to advance?” Speaking of this, Qiao Yu was very shocked. They were also Master’s apprentices, but Liu Mufeng was the treasure in the heart of the Master. Liu Mufeng relied on selling pills, pill recipes, and the quota for the Stone Clan ruins, earning a lot of spirit stones and spiritual treasures, so his and Jiang Xu’s strength has been pushed up, and on the other hand he had only raised a small level in the past three hundred years. How could this not make people jealous?

“That’s right, Junior Brother Liu is rich and powerful.” Having said this, Gong Rui sighed. In the past, Liu Mufeng was at the Spiritual King Realm, and he was also at the Spiritual King Realm. Now, Liu Mufeng was at the Spiritual Profound Realm, but he was still at the Spiritual Emperor Realm. He was destined to be Liu Mufeng’s junior in this life.

Hearing the discussion between the two, Ji Furong’s eyes widened in disbelief. Nine stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm? Jiang Xu had come to this step already? It’s ridiculous that she found an ordinary-looking core disciple to be his concubine, and relied on pleasing men in exchange for resources for cultivation, but she was only a cultivator at the Spiritual King Realm. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu was already a nine-star cultivator at the Spiritual Profound Realm.

“Sister!” Ji Haitang softly called out to her Younger Sister, whose eyes were bloodshot and jealous.

Turning her head, she looked at her Sister. Ji Furong smiled wryly. “Sister, you are right, we are destined not to catch up with them in this life.”

“This is fate. Some people are destined to live as legends. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu are the legends of the Lingwu Continent, legends that no one can look down on. And us Sisters are just two ordinary cultivators, we are not legends.” Ji Haitang patiently enlightened her Younger Sister.

“That’s right, we weren’t legends from the beginning, we were just ordinary cultivators.” Having said that, Ji Furong showed a bleak smile.

Back then in the Lingwu Continent, Liu Mufeng was a trash with five spiritual roots driven out by the Liu family to farm the land in a small village, and Jiang Xu was an abandoned son who was kicked out of the house by the Jiang family. However, these two people did not accept their fate. Liu Mufeng contracted the five-element spirit insects, and he just turned from a waste with five spiritual roots into a legend of the Lingwu Continent. And what about Jiang Xu? Once notorious, he was said to be a shameless Dual who was promiscuous and seduced his Cousin’s fiance. But now he had become the Sect Master’s closed-door disciple, a nine-star cultivator in the Spiritual Profound Realm. He had become another legend that these Lingwu Continent cultivators couldn’t reach.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were two characters who struggled to survive in adversity and created legendary feats for themselves. And she and her Elder Sister came from a big family, and they were the Young Ladies of the family. They were spoiled and loved by everyone in the family since childhood, but in the end, they were just two of the most ordinary cultivators, they were destined not to become such legends, doomed to be ordinary.

In the ring, Jiang Xu and Huang Jie separated from each other after fighting for more than 500 moves. One stood on the west side of the ring, and the other stood on the east side of the ring. At this moment, the clothes they were wearing had multiple tears and cuts, and there were many wounds, large and small, on their bodies.

Jiang Xu smiled as he looked at his opponent across the ring. “Your sword skills are good.”

“You’re not bad either.” Huang Jie also offered a very high praise.

“I’m tired. Let’s take a rest and fight again.” Jiang Xu said as he raised his hand and threw a pill at Huang Jie.

“Okay, let’s rest for half an hour before fighting again. Thank you Brother Jiang for the pill.” As he spoke, Huang Jie took the healing pill and sat cross-legged on the ring.

“Okay.” With that said, Jiang Xu also took a healing pill, and also sat cross-legged on the ring.

From his seat, Xuanyuan Chen flew and landed directly on the ring. “Okay, you two are tied, don’t fight against each other anymore and go back to heal your injuries. If you want to fight another round, how can you fight with all your injuries?”

“Master!” Seeing the person coming, Jiang Xu hurriedly stood up and saluted.

“Sect Master!” After getting up, Huang Jie immediately saluted.

“Stop fighting, let’s all go back.” Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand and gestured for the two to leave the ring.

“Yes!” In response, the two dared not object.

“Huang Jie, I’ll ask you to fight me again when I recover.” Jiang Xu said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll accompany you anytime.” Nodding, Huang Jie agreed.

“This is wine made by my man. I’m happy today. I’ll treat you to a drink.” As he spoke, a two-jin wine jar flew directly towards Huang Jie.

Reaching out his hand, Huang Jie caught the wine jar. He tore off the red paper that sealed the mouth of the jar, raised his head and took several sips. “Not bad, good wine.”

“Of course, the wine made by my family’s Mufeng is naturally a rare and good wine.” Jiang Xu looked proud when talking about his man.

“Okay, don’t brag about your man with injuries here. Mufeng, take him back.” Turning his head, Xuanyuan Chen looked at Liu Mufeng who was beside the ring.

“Yes, Sect Master.” In response, Liu Mufeng flew onto the ring. Looking at his bruised lover, Liu Mufeng shook his head helplessly. “Let’s go back.”

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng left the ring area together.

Seeing the protagonist of the fight leave, the other cultivators who came to see the fun also left in twos and threes.

“Senior Brother Jiang is really amazing. He is indeed the Sect Master’s proud disciple.”

“That’s right, Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Huang are both very powerful. The two of them fight really well. Every move and style was amazing.”

“That’s right, I didn’t dare to blink my eyes, for fear of missing any details.”

“Indeed, it was really wonderful.”

Hearing that all the disciples were talking about this game, Xuanyuan Chen just shook his head and left with his Wife.

“My dear Grandson, how are you? Why are you injured so badly?” Flying to the arena, Li Ruyue felt distressed when she saw her Grandson with more than a dozen wounds on his body.

“XiaoJie, are you okay?” The Seventh Elder also asked.

“Grandpa and Grandma, don’t worry, your Grandson is fine.” As he spoke, Huang Jie smiled, raised his head and drank two more gulps of wine.

“You’re hurt, don’t drink so much.” Huang Shi’an said helplessly.

“Father, this child is only injured on the skin, so you don’t have to worry. Brother Jiang’s wine is very good.” As he spoke, Huang Jie took a few more sips and drank the whole jar of wine, before throwing away the jar in his hand.

“Jiang Xu’s strength is not bad, and you can be regarded as a close match. If you like, you can compete with him more. Learn from his strength and skills.” Huang Shi’an advised earnestly.

“Yes, I know. Winning or losing is not important. Finding such a pleasing opponent is a great joy in life.” Huang Jie laughed heartily at this point.
