Chapter 373: 190 Termination
The disparity is too great.
So much so that Lv Tang could not muster the slightest thought of catching up.
He could only accept his own powerlessness when facing Bai Xiao, as well as his own mediocrity. That’s right, Lv Tang is the eldest master brother of the Steel Bell Sect, the first among several core members, able to rival the first core disciples of other sects in Huaisui City. But what of it? In the face of true prodigies, real powerhouses, what difference is there between him, the eldest master brother, and an ordinary disciple?
At this moment, Lv Tang, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, realized his mediocrity.
With a bitter smile still on his lips, he slowly stood up and, with the help of the Steel Bell Sect staff members who rushed over, walked towards the sect’s residence.
At ring number one, the three black-clad referees also silently watched Bai Xiao’s departing figure. To be honest, they had the impulse to intervene a moment ago. But fortunately, at the very last moment, Bai Xiao showed some restraint. A clearly reined-in blow, which did not burst Lv Tang on the spot, but instead sent him flying. It seems that he is not as brutally fierce as the rumors suggest.
In the audience seats, at the Fierce Bird Sect’s residence.
Bai Xiao rolled down the sleeves of his combat suit that he had pulled up to his wrists, covering his strong, muscular forearms again. He leaned against his chair, gazing forward.
[Your mission "Bounty", Experience +108!]
In his field of vision, a line of experience information flashed on his professional panel.
"Sure enough, the first core disciples of each sect provide much more experience than ordinary contestants, equivalent to more than twice the average. The next two fights will provide experience on par with what I would normally gain from four to six battles..." Bai Xiao nodded contentedly to himself.
At this moment, he was deeply engrossed in pondering his fighter career profession while the surrounding audience members were discussing him. Just now, that punch filled with tension, along with Lv Tang being sent flying straight out like a cannonball, smashing through the railing and steps, was a shock to everyone.
Various evaluations of Bai Xiao rose another level.
At the edges of the different sects’ seating areas, elite disciples who had participated in the Martial Arts Exchange Conference started to boast about Bai Xiao’s amazing feats to some new acquaintances among the audience.
Sweeping through the competition, bursting Xing Lie in the finals, even facing three Elder’s from the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall singlehandedly and breaking the ring with a single step...
The onlookers listened in astonishment.
This was no longer a minor rumor but a testament given by the viewers themselves, adding a fair amount of credibility. However, the few who heard it still had some doubts; defeating Xing Lie is believable, but taking on three singlehandedly goes beyond their comprehension. Young taking on the old and by oneself against three - it somewhat resembled the way past generations exaggerated their tales.
"Let’s keep watching, see how Bai Xiao fares against Xing Lie and He Xiang?"
A spectator murmured thoughtfully, speaking more rationally.
In the center of the Huai Water Gymnasium, the second battle of the seventh round had already begun.
It was Chen Hu versus a core disciple from a major sect.
Naturally, there was not much to say about the result; Chen Hu won. Even though he had sustained injuries during his fight with He Xiang, that did not matter. As long as he took some specially formulated medicine that could temporarily suppress the injury, Chen Hu could still display all his strength on the ring. Such medicine was common for the major sects.
Of course, provided there were no physical injuries like bone fractures.
Subsequently, the third and fourth fights ended one after another.
Xing Lie and He Xiang did not come across each other but faced two other opponents. Clearly, the strengths were not at the same level; the disparity was quite large. They both quickly secured victory, returning to their respective sect residences.
Seconds later, the host walked quickly onto the ring, microphone in hand.
After a few beeps, the broadcast started.
"The seventh round of Huaisui City’s Dark World Fighting Competition has ended!"
"The top four have been decided!"
"They are, from the Fierce Bird Sect, Bai Xiao, from the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, Xing Lie, from the Rock Tiger Sect, Chen Hu, and from the Ghost Wolf Fist, He Xiang! The four of you please rest; what follows will be the battle for the last of the five slots for promotion from the city level to provincial level!"
"The fifth place will be contested by the four eliminated contestants from the quarterfinals!"
In the audience seats, Bai Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and slowly closed his eyes.
There wasn’t much to see next; the other three contestants were clearly no match for the Steel Bell Sect’s Lv Tang, and the last spot was nearly certain.
As expected, in less than half an hour, the contested battle ended.
Lv Tang was victorious.
On the stage, he took a short breath, feeling a burning heat in his breathing passages, with his Qi-Blood surging within him. Lv Tang forcefully suppressed it, stepped down from the ring, and slowly swept his gaze over the four people in the stands.
He turned silently and walked towards the sect’s residence.
After a brief hubbub in the gymnasium, the broadcast began to sound again.
"The Dark World Fighting Competition, the eighth round, begins!"
"Number one, against number twenty-two!"
Number one, of course, was Bai Xiao, and number twenty-two was Chen Hu. Since their battle in the Martial Arts Exchange Conference, here they were again in the Dark World Fighting Competition.
Gazes from all over poured over him, amid the spotlight.
Bai Xiao’s sturdy body slowly got up from his seat.
A minute later.
He sat down again just as slowly, resuming the posture with his arms crossed. As if nothing had happened, unperturbed. Those in the know had seen Bai Xiao just go up on stage and toy with Chen Hu. Those unaware might think Bai Xiao had just casually gone to the market to buy some groceries and sauntered home.
