After a slight pause, yang qianxue let out a soft cry and turned into a faint cloud of mist. She seemed to be drifting slowly, but she was in front of Lin Yi in an instant.
"This movement technique is not bad!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up as he couldn't help but praise.
Yang qianxue's body was agile and agile. It was better than Lin Yi's butterfly microsteps, but slightly inferior to the Super limit butterfly microsteps. Of course, this was under the premise that they were at the same level of strength. With Lin Yi's strength, even without the butterfly microsteps, yang qianxue was still no match for him.
A thin layer of mist started to form around Lin Yi. Yang qianxue's attacks came at Lin Yi from different angles, but he easily dispelled them all without even moving a step.
The difference in strength between the two sides could be seen clearly! If it were someone with a weak will, they would only lose confidence in such a situation. However, yang qianxue was different. The hardships she had gone through had tempered her heart to be extremely tough. At this moment, her eyes were shining, and she had a deeper understanding and experience of her own martial arts techniques.
Lin Yi's every block wasn't just a simple block. There was a slight fluctuation, guiding yang qianxue's skills to make subtle changes. Outsiders might not be able to notice the changes, but yang qianxue could feel the difference. It was a more perfect attack!
This was no sparring session at all-it was a tutelage session from her boss, Lin Yi. It might have only been an incense's time, but her gains were definitely more effective than a month of training.
"Lord Judge, the two of them are clearly acting. Is this really okay?" Ren Zhongyuan wasn't an idiot. He could tell that Lin Yi wasn't using his true strength. If he couldn't see Lin Yi's true strength, what was the point of wasting time? Therefore, he simply went to the middle-aged woman's side and whispered a complaint.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Ren Zhongyuan indifferently and said with a blank expression,""Did I say that the rules don't allow fake fights? If you're willing, you can fake every match. I won't say anything. "
"Uh ... I don't think so." Ren Zhongyuan was at a loss for words. He smiled awkwardly and did not dare to say anything else, lest he offended the middle-aged woman.
"Time's Up, it's a draw! Both sides get one point!" The time for an incense stick to burn was up, and the middle-aged woman announced the end of the battle. Only then did Lin Yi and Yang qianxue stop sparring.
Lin Yi was as calm as ever, but yang qianxue was drenched in sweat. She had really given it her all in the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Other than a few of her life-saving moves, she had used almost all of her skills. Of course, she had gained a lot from it.
"Thank you for your guidance, boss!" Yang qianxue bowed to Lin Yi respectfully. She could feel that Lin Yi's strength was more than enough to be her teacher, so this respect was genuine and not because of the favor he'd done before.
"Let's go down and talk. " Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, walking down the stage with yang qianxue to let the third and fourth fighters come up.
"Let's take a break and recover our true Qi. We'll do our best in the competition later!" After he came down, Lin Yi took out a bottle of Qi recovery pills and gave it to yang qianxue. She had been attacking with all her might for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, and she had used up a lot of her Qi. She might not be able to recover it just by meditating.
"Thank you," he said. Yang qianxue did not stand on ceremony. After thanking him, she took out an elixir and consumed it. She immediately sat down at the side and began to cultivate to recover.
If each battle could last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there would be enough time for him to recover. Unfortunately, most of the time, the outcome of a battle could be decided in two or three moves.
For example, in the second round, in just a few breaths 'time, the guy in third place was knocked out of the ring, and the fourth person won easily.
In the third round, the fifth and sixth were evenly matched, but they only fought for half an incense's time before the fifth seized an opportunity and secured the victory.
The last seven, eight, and nine battles all had their own wins and losses, and didn't take too much time. If Lin Yi didn't give her the elixir, yang qianxue might not have been able to recover to her best state when she got her turn again.
"Next up are the 11 contestants to fight against the first contestant. Please come up the stage!" After the middle-aged woman finished recording the results, she continued to announce the combatants for the next round.
Ren Zhongyuan was last as he didn't have any opponents after him. Hence, Lin Yi started the rotation again. One was the first round, and the other was the second round.
"Ren Zhongyuan, come on up. It's been a long time since we last met. Are you scared? It can't be that he's even worse than the lady, right?" Lin Yi went up first and turned around to see Ren Zhongyuan standing still. He curled his finger at him with a mocking expression, hoping that this guy wouldn't run away.
Although he couldn't kill Ren Zhongyuan, he couldn't maim him either, but he could still beat him up to vent his anger. Lin Yi was worried that this guy would admit defeat, and then it would be boring.
Ren Zhongyuan's face turned red and white. He knew that he wasn't Lin Yi's match, but he couldn't stand being mocked by Lin Yi!
What the f * ck! So what if I can't beat you? You think you're so great just because you can't beat me? Even if this young master can't beat you, I won't be afraid of you! I'll just hide from you!
"I admit defeat!" Ren Zhongyuan gritted his teeth in anger. However, he admitted his defeat without any hesitation.
He couldn't beat them anyway, and going up would only make him look bad, so he might as well save his strength to deal with the others! I'm going to the mystic division Sea area. There'll be a chance to get back at me in the future! Lin Yi, you bastard, just you wait!
Ren Zhongyuan cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to look at Lin Yi. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Lin Yi shrugged. He was going to beat the guy up, but he really did admit defeat. Should he be complimented for being smart or for being a coward?
"Number 11 admits defeat. Number 1 wins. Next round!" The middle-aged woman was emotionless. For convenience's sake, she didn't call everyone's original number, but simply re-numbered them in the order they were drawn.
"Number 2 and number 3, go up!" Number two was yang qianxue, and number three was the one who had lost quickly.
Yang qianxue nodded at Lin Yi, full of energy after taking the pill. She jumped onto the stage with confidence, while number three had a bitter look on his face.
This guy's strength was not strong to begin with, and he had been defeated so easily in the first round. He no longer had any confidence in winning.
Besides, he had seen the first battle between yang qianxue and Lin Yi. Yang qianxue's attacks couldn't hurt Lin Yi, but it seemed to be no problem for her to deal with him.
