Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Provoking the Great Elder

Chapter 73 -73 Provoking the Great Elder

Jing Yan could feel a subtle change in Jing Shiyu’s attitude toward him.

Before Jing Yan tested his realm, although Jing Shiyu was also polite to him, now there was a clear increase in respect that stemmed from the heart compared to before.

It wasn’t to say that Jing Shiyu had looked down on him before.

Rather, in this world, the strong were revered.

Only with strength could one command greater respect.

“Manager Shiyu, I want to challenge the current challenger of this arena,” Jing Yan nodded.

On the arena, Jing Luoying’s face looked somewhat gloomy.

When Jing Yan approached his arena, he had guessed that Jing Yan might challenge him.

He was also aware that after Jing Yan was expelled from Divine Wind Academy, he had constantly been disparaging and humiliating Jing Yan at various occasions.

It was only natural that Jing Yan disliked him.

“Jing Yan challenges Jing Luoying!”

Manager Jing Shiyu announced loudly.

“Jing Yan, you can come up to the arena now.” Soon after, Jing Shiyu smiled softly and said to Jing Yan.

“Thank you!” Jing Yan bowed with folded hands.

With a slight shift of his gaze, looking at Jing Luoying on the arena with a face ashen with anger, Jing Yan walked up with a smile on his face.

“Jing Yan, others may fear you, but I, Jing Luoying, am not afraid of you!” Jing Luoying roared as Jing Yan stepped onto the arena.

He knew that even if he showed weakness, Jing Yan wouldn’t give up and step down from the arena.

After all, a fight was inevitable; he might as well appear strong.

At least, that would please the people behind him.

Jing Luoying was not weak in strength.

He also possessed Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven cultivation, just like Jing Chuanling.

But if Jing Chuanling were to fight Jing Luoying, the defeated one would certainly be Jing Chuanling.

Jing Luoying had been at the Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven for some time now, and his understanding of martial arts was also quite profound.

Among the Jing Family’s descendants at the Eighth Layer Heaven realm, Jing Luoying’s strength was considered strong.

If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no major problem for him to enter the final stage of the competition.

Hearing Jing Luoying’s roar and seeing his somewhat distorted expression, Jing Yan smiled.

“Jing Luoying, I’ll give you a chance to admit defeat and roll out of the arena right now,” Jing Yan said with a faint smile.

However, in this casual demeanor, there was a hint of chilliness.

“Huh?” Jing Luoying was slightly startled.

Instantly, his anger grew even further.

Jing Yan was clearly humiliating him.

If he really left the arena just like that, would he still have the face to appear before others in the future?

Especially within the Great Elder’s faction, would he still have any status?

“In your dreams!”

Jing Luoying shouted loudly, suddenly pulling out a long knife, his Primordial Energy bursting forth as he charged towards Jing Yan.

Actually, Jing Luoying was no fool; he knew that Jing Yan was much stronger than him.

If he followed his own inclinations, he wouldn’t wish to fight with Jing Yan.

But under the current circumstances, if he didn’t even dare to fight, he would lose all face.

So, he thought of making a few gestures and ending it.

After all, everyone knew of Jing Yan’s strength; if he lost, no one could say anything about it.

“Courting death!” Jing Yan’s breath became condensed.

He didn’t even draw his sword, simply pushing out a Palm Seal, casually emitting it, wrapped in overwhelming Primordial Energy.

Many, many people were paying attention to the battle between Jing Yan and Jing Luoying.

They all saw Jing Yan and Jing Luoying clash.

“What’s going on?”

“Isn’t Jing Yan being too arrogant?

Doesn’t he even need to use his own weapon?”

“Moreover, shouldn’t he be practicing Sword Skill Martial Arts?

Using just his palm without a weapon to perform Sword Skill Martial Arts?”

“He’s being too arrogant!”

Some people frowned, shaking their heads as they voiced their opinions.

For martial artists, the power of martial arts was extremely fearsome. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Even Lower Grade Martial Arts could significantly enhance a martial artist’s strength.

Why are martial artists at the Fourth Layer Heaven so much stronger than those at the Third Level?

The gap in realms is just one factor, and it isn’t even the primary one.

Martial arts are the main factor.

Third Level martial artists can hardly perform any martial arts because their Primordial Energy is insufficient to sustain the consumption.

However, those at the Fourth Layer Heaven can perform Lower Grade Martial Arts.

Fourth Layer Heaven martial artists can team up to hunt down First-level Spiritual Beasts.

Meanwhile, Third Level warriors facing Third-level Spiritual Beasts will nearly have no choice but to wait for death.

Numbers won’t help unless there are enough people to wear down the spiritual beast.

“Hmph, a bit of strength and he becomes insufferably arrogant!

Just a cocky kid.”

On the high platform of the square, Great Elder Jing Chunyu snorted coldly.

He didn’t name names, but everyone knew he was referring to Jing Yan.

Jing Tianying glanced at the Great Elder.

However, he didn’t speak up.

He himself was slightly frowning because, in his view, Jing Yan also should not be overconfident; if a battle could be resolved quickly, there was no need for too much flair.

Without using weapons or martial arts, even if Jing Yan could defeat Jing Luoying, he would need to consume more Primordial Energy.

That approach wasn’t advisable!

“Boom!”

On the arena, when Jing Luoying saw that Jing Yan hadn’t even brought out a weapon, the corners of his mouth lifted in a cold smile, and his heart surged with heat.

“Ha ha, what an opportunity!”

“If I can defeat Jing Yan, then I can just…”

Jing Luoying’s eyes shone bright as his thoughts raced.

However, soon enough, this thought completely dissipated from his mind.

All he felt was a terrifying force fiercely striking him.

His long knife, which he had energized with martial arts to form a blade screen, crumbled like an egg against stone under this force.

Then, his body was sent flying backward.

“Ah!” Jing Luoying let out a tragic scream that echoed boomingly.

His body flew right out of the arena.

You must understand that these square arenas were each twenty meters long and wide, quite sizable indeed.

Yet Jing Luoying was sent flying out, under the watchful gaze of countless eyes, rolling onto the ground of the square like a dead dog.

“Pfft!” A mouthful of fresh blood was violently spat out.

All of the Martial Arts Meridians throughout his body burned with pain.

The injuries were obviously severe.

“I just said, I gave you a chance to leave the arena directly.

But you didn’t want that chance,” Jing Yan glanced at Jing Luoying far away and said indifferently.

His first strike was intended to make Jing Luoying unable to continue participating in the family competition.

With such injuries, Jing Luoying would definitely need to be treated immediately and then lie in bed for a while.

For someone like Jing Luoying, Jing Yan would not show mercy.

Moreover, this person was from the Great Elder’s faction.

Jing Yan’s gaze turned once more toward the high platform of the square; the smile on his lips grew even brighter.

“Damn it!” The Great Elder locked eyes with Jing Yan and growled with gritted teeth.

This rascal Jing Yan was provoking him!
