Chapter 76 -76: You Can’t Possibly Be My Match
On the stage, Jing Yan also noticed the cold gaze of Jing Shaohe in the distance and naturally looked over.
Their gazes met across the space.
“Hehe, I indeed have that intention!” Jing Yuxiang chuckled.
Jing Yuxiang knew that Jing Yan’s strength was incredibly formidable.
He had dared to challenge Li Tianfu, the ace participant of the Extreme Combat Association, while he was at the Seventh Layer Heaven.
Now, having stepped into the Nine Layers Heaven Realm, his strength was definitely stronger.
Although his grandson, Jing Shaohe, was also a martial artist at the Nine Layers Heaven Realm, Jing Yuxiang himself felt that the chances of Jing Shaohe defeating Jing Yan were slim.
“Shaohe, my thought is for you to go up and fight Jing Yan for a bit, it doesn’t have to be till you defeat him,” Jing Yuxiang continued.
He did not want to please Jing Chunyu by having his grandson fight Jing Yan to the death.
It was not worth it.
It was enough for Jing Chunyu to see his attitude.
However, he couldn’t go into too much detail; he knew his grandson’s personality.
If he specified too much, his grandson would definitely feel it was an insult.
“I understand,” Jing Shaohe withdrew his gaze and nodded at Jing Yuxiang.
“Good, just handle it your way,” Jing Yuxiang said no more.
Then, Jing Yuxiang turned and left, returning to the plaza’s high platform.
Jing Chengye and the others were very clear about Jing Yuxiang’s actions.
Fourth Elder Jing Tianying looked at Jing Yuxiang and sneered, remaining silent.
Although he disdained Jing Yuxiang’s actions, it was their freedom if they wanted to flatter Jing Chunyu, and he had no grounds to stop it.
“Yuxiang, you really didn’t need to do that!”
Jing Chunyu’s expression seemed a bit pleased as he spoke to Jing Yuxiang.
Although he said it was unnecessary, deep down, he was quite satisfied.
If Jing Yuxiang had done nothing, he would certainly hold a grudge.
“Great Elder, I am only doing what I should.
Jing Yan is too arrogant and proud, disregarding even his elders.
What will become of us later?” Jing Yuxiang said righteously.
“But Shaohe, though his strength is not bad, might not necessarily be a match for Jing Yan,” Jing Chunyu frowned.
He also knew from Yuqin that two Nine Layers Heaven guards and several Eighth Layer Heaven guards from the workshop, combined, were not a match for Jing Yan.
This showed how strong Jing Yan was.
“No matter, Shaohe knows what he is doing.
If Jing Yan really is that formidable, then there’s nothing we can do.
But Shaohe’s strength is also very strong, he has recently made new breakthroughs, and he is very close to reaching the Innate Realm,” Jing Yuxiang said with a smile.
The challenge phase continued.
Time grew shorter and shorter.
“There is half an hour left until the challenge phase!”
On the plaza’s high platform, Clan Leader Jing Chengye loudly announced the remaining time of the challenge phase.
“There is thirty minutes left until the challenge phase!”
“There is just the time of one tea left until the challenge phase!”
Time slowly approached the endpoint.
“What’s going on?
Why hasn’t Shaohe gone to challenge Jing Yan yet?” Jing Yuxiang frowned.
Only the time for one tea left.
If two evenly matched opponents fight, one tea time might not even be enough for the battle.
Jing Yuxiang began to doubt.
Did his grandson decide not to challenge Jing Yan?
At this moment, Jing Chunyu’s face turned ugly again.
His gaze often darting towards Jing Yuxiang, a hint of dissatisfaction emerged.
You just said your grandson Jing Shaohe would challenge Jing Yan, but now there’s no movement from Jing Shaohe. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Are you jesting with me?
Jing Chunyu thought.
It wasn’t surprising that Jing Chunyu was unhappy.
If Jing Yuxiang had not made those gestures initially, it would have been alright.
Now, everyone had seen Jing Yuxiang’s actions, but Jing Shaohe had not shown any initiative.
This was essentially showing that even Jing Yuxiang, who was supposed to have the best relationship with Jing Chunyu, did not take him seriously.
Jing Yuxiang felt somewhat embarrassed, not knowing how to explain.
At this stage, it was inappropriate for him to go down from the high platform to find Jing Shaohe.
There wasn’t much time left.
If he pressured Jing Shaohe to challenge Jing Yan and his grandson lost, there might not be time to challenge another Challenger and lose the chance to enter the final stage.
Jing Yuxiang, of course, could not gamble with his grandson’s future.
“Did Jing Shaohe decide not to challenge me?” Jing Yan also momentarily pondered.
When Jing Yuxiang had come down from the high platform to find Jing Shaohe, Jing Yan had guessed his intentions and had also assumed that Jing Shaohe would come to challenge him.
But now, as the challenge phase was about to end, Jing Shaohe had not made any moves.
“Hmm?” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened.
Just as he thought Jing Shaohe would give up on challenging him, Jing Shaohe moved and was indeed heading towards his stage.
“He still came!” Jing Yan laughed, “But, he is a bit late.
This battle might not finish before the challenge phase ends.
Jing Shaohe seems overly confident!”
Jing Yan had already figured out Jing Shaohe’s intention.
Of course, Jing Shaohe did not think of ruining his own chance to enter the family competition’s final stage; he wanted to ruin Jing Yan’s chance to reach the final.
If he could defeat Jing Yan in this battle, then Jing Yan would not have the chance to challenge any other Challenger and would have to stop here, unable to advance to the final stage.
“Hehe, that is quite malicious!
But…” Jing Yan squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth curling with a trace of coldness.
“Manager, I, Jing Shaohe, challenge Jing Yan!”
Jing Shaohe spoke to Jing Shiyu at the edge of the platform with a deep voice.
As he spoke to Jing Shiyu, his eyes were fixed on Jing Yan.
“Alright!”
“Jing Shaohe, come up to the platform!” Jing Shiyu took a glance at Jing Shaohe and quickly said.
Her responsibility for this platform had been rather easy.
From the beginning until now, including this challenge, there had only been two challenges.
Jing Shiyu looked at Jing Yan, speculating who among Jing Yan and Jing Shaohe could advance to the final stage.
“Whoosh!”
Jing Shaohe leapt up, landing steadily on the platform, facing Jing Yan from afar.
“Jing Yan, your participation in this family competition ends here!” Jing Shaohe looked at Jing Yan and coldly said.
His words were filled with certainty, as if he had full confidence in himself.
“Is that so?” Jing Yan smiled.
“Hmph, you will not know how strong I am!” Jing Shaohe snorted coldly, “I can tell you, if it weren’t for this family competition, I could have already tried to break through to the Innate Realm!
You, you cannot possibly be my opponent!”
