Chapter 284: Chapter 221: Whirlwind (4)

Fairy Yunxiao had never thought before the martial arts conference between the two realms that she might actually die in it.

According to Xingxiao and Gu She Fairy, it was supposed to be an event showcasing extraordinary powers, exploring the potential cooperation between martial arts spells and modern firearms.

Yet, she hadn’t expected that in her very first match, she would be so severely beaten by Lin Xing.

Especially considering that if she were to be killed, it would be broadcast live globally, watched and scrutinized by countless people across two worlds.

This realization caused a heavy sinking in Fairy Yunxiao’s heart, and thoughts of retreat began to emerge.

However, before the match ended, Fairy Yunxiao still remembered the task Gu She Fairy had entrusted to her.

Sensing the change in her demeanor, Lin Xing lightly sighed and said, "Your will to fight has dissipated, it seems you no longer plan to face my next move, right? Well, for the better. It really would negatively impact the event and future peaceful developments if someone were to die during this martial arts display."

While speaking, the mountain behind Lin Xing transformed once again into an incredibly gentle state, slowly descending and dispersing like a globule of water, returning to the earth.

Fairy Yunxiao then looked at Lin Xing and said, "Lin Xing, before I leave, I have one more question to ask you."

With a single hand, she drew a talisman, and accompanying the appearance of an invisible talisman, a sudden gale arose, lifting a cloud of dust that obscured both of them.

After temporarily blocking the live broadcast with the dust, Fairy Yunxiao slowly walked up to Lin Xing and asked, "Do you still remember Dong Yuqing?"

Upon hearing that name, Lin Xing was slightly startled, followed by a rush of familiar feelings.

But even though he felt a sense of familiarity, he couldn’t remember where he had heard that name.

Lin Xing frowned and looked at Fairy Yunxiao, asking, "Who is this person? Why should I remember this name?"

Seeing the rapid change in Lin Xing’s expression, Fairy Yunxiao was moved and reached into her bosom to pull something out.

It was a doll that, despite looking somewhat old, one could tell was quite exquisitely made.

As Lin Xing looked at the doll, which had a face incredibly similar to a real person’s, a wave of familiarity surged through his mind again.

Familiar yet elusive, this feeling made Lin Xing exceedingly uncomfortable, as if countless ants were crawling all over his body.

He reached out and grabbed the doll through the air, and with a surge of spiritual manipulation, he snatched it into his hand.

Staring intently at the doll in his hand, Lin Xing said with a puzzled face, "Where did this thing come from?"

He looked at Fairy Yunxiao and asked, "What exactly does this mean?"

Fairy Yunxiao shook her head, "I don’t know either, Master told me to bring this up and ask you."

Lin Xing frowned and asked, "Your master is?"

"Gu She Fairy," said Fairy Yunxiao, "Master said if you have any questions, you can find her at the hotel after tonight’s event ends."

While Lin Xing and Fairy Yunxiao’s duel underwent rapid shifts, the many spectators watching these intense battles were like riding a rollercoaster, their emotions fluctuating wildly.

First, it was Lin Xing levelling the earth at Fairy Yunxiao, then Fairy Yunxiao blasting open the ’tsunami,’ followed by Lin Xing causing four successive tsunami-like waves of dirt to directly submerge Fairy Yunxiao...

The swift changes continued until finally, with a dispersing wind, Fairy Yunxiao conceded defeat, and the outcome of the battle was settled.

...

At the commentary desk, Hui Ling took a deep breath, her eyes still carrying a trace of surprise, "I didn’t expect that the fight would turn out this way, with Lin Xing prevailing over Fairy Yunxiao."

"The Taoist skill he just used is extremely powerful, but it doesn’t seem quite in line with the Sword Hero image Lin Xing has always presented?"

Hui Ling looked to her side at Du Kong and asked, "Brother, do you know what Taoist skill that was?"

Du Kong pondered and replied, "Using spiritual manipulation to attack with dirt, this should belong to the Five Elements Taoist Skill."

"Lin Xing being able to control such a massive amount of dirt suggests he has been cultivating this skill for quite awhile."

He spoke with some confusion, "However, his primary inheritance is the Sword Hero, so why cultivate such a skill? It doesn’t quite match with his sword approach, and it might slow down his mastering of his third inheritance."

Hui Ling nodded, "Indeed, it’s quite peculiar, but the power of his Taoist skill is indeed formidable. He should be able to advance far in this martial arts event."

Du Kong remarked, "The power is good, but currently the control seems a bit weak. The attack of the sand doesn’t need to cover such a large area, concentrating it would make it more powerful."

"Moreover, sand itself is quite limited. If other participants prepare in advance, there are many ways to defend against this move..."

...

Inside a hotel in New Ke City.

The petite Gu She Fairy hovered mid-air, her fair legs crossed as she watched the live broadcast.

Beside her, a woman with a fluffy tail brought a pair of black stockings.

After glancing at the black stockings, Gu She Fairy pouted and said, "Is this what those fans from Sakura Country want me to wear? They look dull and dark, how can they be pretty?"

Suddenly, she glanced at the screen where the combatants were fighting, her mouth opening slightly in surprise, "Oh? Is Lin Xing actually better than Yunxiao?"

But this still wasn’t her main concern, after all, no second-generation fighter could withstand a third.

Currently, the Cross-Realm Conference had already gathered many strong third-generation fighters, and in Gu She Fairy’s view, these third-generations were the future rulers of this world.

What intrigued Gu She Fairy more was the doll Lin Xing took with him when he left the battlefield.

"Is there really a reaction?"

Gu She Fairy licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

She felt her thighs twitch involuntarily and murmured, "This is getting interesting."

...

Meanwhile, the internet was already buzzing with discussions about the battle.

Especially Lin Xing’s actions of overturning the ground repeatedly caught much attention.

His display of destructive power in this battle was considered by many netizens to be the most potent supernatural power seen in various demonstrations to date.

Analyses of his move spread rapidly online.

Some isolated his live broadcast clips and shared them.

Some calculated how much energy his move contained.

Some estimated what kind of weapon his destructive power equated to.

Others discussed how best to block this move.

Yiyi continually browsed through various discussions on her phone, smiling, "This battle is considered the most thrilling of the past two days."

"Heh heh, it seems Lin Xing has become enlightened, understanding under my guidance how important it is to fight beautifully."

"Really?" Jing Shiyu asked curiously, "What did you tell Lin Xing?"

Yiyi confidently said, "This Cross-Realm Conference is essentially the Martial Arts Conference. The so-called demonstration of martial arts is just a display of martial power, much like choosing the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch."

"Stepping into the ring isn’t just about defeating the opponent, it’s also about convincing the audience."

"To convince the audience, you definitely need to fight beautifully, powerfully, making them feel your strength."

"It’s like defeating your opponent by throwing a mountain at them versus throwing feces; the audience would definitely support the former."

Jing Shiyu listened to the analogy, slightly stunned. While she found it somewhat disgusting, she also felt it made some sense.

On the other hand, Lin Xing had just exited the arena, his mind still on the doll, when he saw Tianlian from Shi Lin Temple approaching.

Tianlian greeted him with palms pressed together and a smile, "Congratulations, Master Lin, on your victorious start."

Lin Xing looked at her and asked, "Do you need something?"

With joy on her face, Tianlian said, "Regarding the dragon veins Master Lin requires, I have finally fulfilled my mission and located them."
