Ling Chuxi nodded, wanting to laugh out loud – they had also used this trick before. The Fang family truly lacked creativity. She had originally thought that Master Lan was shameless, but turns out the Fang family was no better. Who knew that these big families would stoop so low? For the sake of their clan, they were willing to throw away their reputation. There were a lot of people scolding the Fang family for being shameless now, but it was hard to tell which family would be more shameless in the end.
Ling Chuxi actually couldn’t ask for more regarding the Fang family head’s move. Although she remembered Fang Yuanqiu’s finger gesture just now, she still did not understand the technique behind it. However, this person looked stronger than Fang Yuanqiu, so she might be able to understand something from it.
Ling Chuxi boldly walked up to the fighting ring and said to Lan Xinyu, “Go down and rest first. Leave this fellow to me.”
Lan Xinyu nodded. She could tell that this person’s cultivation was much stronger than Fang Yuanqiu’s and with her current situation, she was not entirely sure she could win. Either way, the Fang family had acted shamelessly first. Nobody could deny that.
“This person also does not seem to be from your Lan family, right?” The Fang family head asked and peered at Ling Chuxi dubiously.
“I’m called Ling Chuxi. Lan Xinyu is my younger godsister,” Ling Chuxi declared bluntly.
“Younger godsister?” Lan Xinyu’s foot slipped and she almost fell. Even at a critical moment like this, would it kill her to admit a loss? Could she not say that Lan Xinyu was her older godsister since Lan Xinyu was, in fact, older than her?
“Ling Chuxi. You are the Ling Chuxi who won the martial arts competition in the capital?” The young man opposite her was shocked to hear her name, and his arrogant countenance immediately disappeared. Her opponent had obviously heard of her and knew her cultivation level, so he dared not look down on her.
Below the stage, surprised murmurs could be heard. Although a lot of people knew that Lan Xinyu had lost to Ling Chuxi, not many citizens had seen her before. Today was the first time they saw what she looked like.
So this was the Ling Chuxi who had won the martial arts competition in the capital. With her aid, it would be hard for the Lan family to lose. Everyone felt relieved.
“That’s right. Let’s fight,” Ling Chuxi called out as an impressive amount of Battle Qi surged out of her, releasing a strong pressure. Still, Ling Chuxi did not dare underestimate her opponent – she could tell that his cultivation was very strong.
“I’m very honored to be able to fight you.” That young man felt the pressure from her Battle Qi and his gaze turned solemn. His fingers bent slightly as he formed the finger gesture.
Ling Chuxi did not avert her gaze, but subtly focused her attention on the finger gesture. Sure enough, this young man was stronger than Fang Yuanqiu and had reached Level-9. His finger gesture was smoother and more natural compared to Fang Yuanqiu’s. As expected, the young man’s Battle Qi became stronger and stronger, until it seemed like he was about to break through the pinnacle of Level-9.
As she contemplated the finger gesture, an enlightening light appeared vaguely in Ling Chuxi’s mind. She felt like if she concentrated a little more, she would be able to comprehend the mystery behind the finger gesture. However, she just couldn’t seem to catch the most essential part of the enlightenment.
Fully concentrating on the finger gesture, Ling Chuxi believed that as long as the young man attacked, she would definitely be able to figure out the mystery behind it.
“We admit defeat in this match.” Suddenly, an ordinary-looking but stern young man who was standing by the fighting ring spoke up.
