Chapter 398: 201 The gathering of the strong, a variety of skills_2

It’s just to make up the numbers, they are typically eliminated in the first round.

It is important to know that in the provincial Dark World fighting competition, there is no revival mechanism. All twelve cities, with sixty competitors, will undergo the most brutal elimination system. Once you lose, you are immediately out.

"Strong opponents and experts are nothing to worry about, I believe in our Senior Disciple! In my opinion, among the dozen or so Martial Artist level competitors, he is definitely capable of making it into the top five! He might even... have a chance against the Nanjiang Duo!"

Standing behind Bai Xiao, Jian Feng seemed quite confident as he spoke.

"Hahaha..."

A circle of Fierce Bird Sect Elders nearby laughed; they shared Jian Feng’s opinion. Bai Xiao, their Senior Disciple, is no less exceptional than any prodigy!

Among the group, Bai Xiao was relatively silent and calm.

He was dressed in a platinum-colored fighting suit, his steps steady and powerful.

"Heh..."

Suddenly, a somewhat mocking cold laugh came from the other side of the road.

"Thinking of challenging Night Dream and Fang Chao? Dreaming, are we?"

"Such arrogance!"

On the pedestrian path to the left, a young man wearing a black leather jacket even in the hot weather, spoke from a distance. He was about six feet tall, slender, with thin lips and a straight nose, showing traces of stubble.

His hair was messy and fluffy, exuding a decadent and gloomy aura. He held a cigarette in his mouth, with the tip occasionally brightening with blue and red embers, flickering in and out of visibility.

He had one hand in his pocket, his gaze directed towards the Fierce Bird Sect.

"Those who’ve never truly fought Night Dream or Fang Chao will never understand their terrifying strength and the suffocating pressure they bring! If you want to test the Nanjiang Duo, I suggest taking them on yourself at the competition. That little unrealistic fantasy will quickly shatter. Just make sure it doesn’t lead you to a mental breakdown, hehe..." The jacket-wearing man said, exhaling a puff of smoke.

"Oh, right, you might not even encounter them. Maybe you’ll be eliminated by someone else along the way and crawl back to your hometown dejectedly."

The way this statement came out felt very odd. It seemed like he was saying Bai Xiao was overestimating himself, yet oddly, it also sounded like he was berating himself.

"Stop talking, Liu Ping!"

Behind the decadent man, a burly middle-aged man with a powerful aura frowned and said.

He turned his head and immediately apologized to the Fierce Bird Sect side.

Half a minute later.

Jian Feng watched as that faction’s team disappeared around the corner, spat disdainfully: "Who does he think he is? Our Senior Disciple challenging the Nanjiang Duo is none of his business! Jumping out like that, was he perhaps thrashed by the Nanjiang Duo himself before...gets triggered by anything related to them!"

"Indeed."

Wei Gang nearby nodded and continued, "That guy should be Green Blood Fist Liu Ping, the second-ranked faction in Yunzhou City. Green Blood Fist might only be second in Yunzhou City, weaker than Light Saber, but that’s Light Saber after all. In reality, Green Blood Fist ranks among the top five in Nanjiang Province. And Liu Ping has been the core of Green Blood Fist for four years now...

"In the past year, Hexagram Star Night Dream achieved a famous victory at the Martial Arts Exchange Conference. Single-handedly, with one sword against six opponents, at the height of his passion and spirit, he swept them all away, solidly establishing his position. And among those used as stepping stones was Liu Ping, one of those six...

"Oh?"

Jian Feng seemed to recall something, "So, what he just said was actually about himself. His mentality probably cracked after being defeated by Night Dream. Losing a six against one battle, he only has himself to blame. It’s inevitable for his spirit to be in decline...

"Is there such a big gap between Hexagram Star Night Dream and the others? This Green Blood Fist Liu Ping must be among the best of the younger generation in Southern Border Province. How could he, along with the other five, not overcome...

At this time, a Fierce Bird Sect Elder spoke.

"I know about this. Last night, I asked a Yunzhou City Elder who had seen that Martial Arts Exchange Conference. Although Hexagram Star Night Dream’s talent and strength are extremely high, fighting six people at once was indeed a stretch. However, sometimes, the special atmosphere formed under special circumstances can elevate a person’s spirits and mindset to unimaginable levels. Night Dream was in that state and achieved what seemed impossible...

"When your energy, spirit, and soul are highly focused, you feel as if nothing is impossible!"

"After such a special state, the experiencer’s strength noticeably rises to a new level, as if refined through iron and blood...

"Previously, the Nanjiang Duo’s reputation was rather weak, always overshadowed by Flowing Light Fist Fang Chao, until that six-against-one showdown, where Hexagram Star Night Dream firmly secured his place among the top...

As the conversation ended, the usually silent Bai Xiao spoke.

"How can such a special state be triggered?"

The Fierce Bird Sect Elder shook his head, "It’s down to luck, the right time, place, and people, and the deep foundations and insights accumulated over time. This sudden enlightenment during battle, finding one’s true self and path, is also very rare in the Secret Martial World. When the opportunity comes, it just comes; it can’t be forced."

The Fierce Bird Sect’s team continued walking while chatting casually.
