Chapter 703: Fighting Huaxie
The Tianji Tournament had already been going on for two hours.
In these two hours, Jiang Feng had already participated in dozens of rounds and won them all.
He also noticed that after the first dozen rounds, his opponents were becoming stronger and stronger.
It seemed that within the two hours, plenty of contestants were eliminated. Those who were not spectacular had already been eliminated.
“It looks like they are trying to end the Tianji Tournament in one day!” Jiang Feng said in a surprised tone after winning another round and looking at the number of contestants that were still qualified.
Logically speaking, a competition this size would usually need several days to resolve. He did not expect that the tournament would end in one day.
The competition still had 5632 people left.
He did not know how many tournament grounds there were, but by his estimation, in another four rounds or so, the Top 100 would be revealed.
Ding. Tianji System Announcement. Please enter the gateway. Your 18th round will start soon.
He was already used to the system’s pacing, and he headed into the gateway.
Once he appeared in the tournament ground, he looked ahead.
A gateway appeared and a beautiful woman wearing a long dress exited from the other gateway.
The moment she appeared, petals began to dance around her. No one could compare with this presentation.
Huaxie: Earth Realm One Star
Combat Rating: 4,359
‘Hm? Huaxie, ranked ten on the Tianji Leaderboard. I didn’t expect that in just a few days, she has already reached Earth Realm One Star!’
He also did not expect that he would be squaring off with players from the top ten before even reaching the top hundred and that he would be fighting with a beauty.
Huaxie was really beautiful, and she could be compared to Ling Feiyu. He could even smell the flowery scent from her even though he was some distance away to the point where he could get intoxicated.
If it were some other man, he would have drooled the moment he saw Huaxie. But not Jiang Feng.
Who was he?
A man that was surrounded by beauties almost every day, and had married a beautiful wife. He was already immune to beautiful women.
“Beauty, are you happy?”
Perhaps it was because he had asked the same question in his previous fights, when Huaxie appeared, Jiang Feng smiled and asked her in a friendly tone.
Huaxie looked at Jiang Feng with surprise in her eyes.
To her, it was like Jiang Feng had never heard of her. No one was able to stay calm after meeting her and even asked her if she was happy.
Huaxie was someone quite polite as well as she replied with a smile, “I can’t say I’m very happy, but I’m alright I guess.”
Hm?
This was the first person that had answered his question, and Jiang Feng looked at her with interest. He quickly asked, “Do you have some kind of misery or grief?”
Huaxie lowered her head and thought for a bit, and then nodded and said, “I think I have too many fans. I am too rich, too pretty, and I am surrounded by people no matter where I go. I want to be alone freely!”
‘Seriously... Why does this give me the feeling that she’s boasting?’
Huaxie’s answer made Jiang Feng feel frustrated as he complained deep down, ‘Didn’t you request to be on the Tianji Leaderboard for the fans? For the money? Too many fans? Too much money? Do you know how depressed I am...?”
“I cannot help you with this. But, let us first fight,” Jiang Feng said.
He knew that Huaxie’s words were teasing him.
He did not expect that such a pretty and quiet girl would be so naughty.
Huaxie smiled and nodded, and then caught some petals with her hand and threw it toward Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was being very careful as he was facing a player on the Top Ten of Tianji Leaderboard. He took out Chengying Sword and slashed at the petals and cut them in half before they even reached him.
Boom!
The moment that the sword of light touched the petal, the petal immediately exploded like a bomb.
Jiang Feng gasped when he saw what happened.
If any of the petals were to touch him, he would immediately be shredded into pieces by the explosion.
“Exploding Fist!”
Huaxie was surrounded by the petals and there was no way he could get close to her. Jiang Feng then threw a punch toward her, and a phantasmal fist formed using his Inner Chi shot toward Huaxie quickly.
Huaxie took out a longsword forged from flower petals and swung it lightly, and then dozens of petals flew out and enveloped his attack, halting it immediately.
“None of the Top Ten players are incompetent. Looks like if I want to win, I have to use my chi shield.”
He did not know how many people were watching his match with Huaxie, but in order to become the champion, he had to use everything he had.
If he kept on holding back, he might get killed.
Once that thought crossed his mind, he was not going to fight with Huaxie in melee. He used Expeditious Steps and quickly rushed toward Huaxie.
***
In the Tianji Halls of all the cities in the Great World of Tianji, many players were all in a room.
When some of Huaxie’s fans saw this moment, they all began to scoff at Jiang Feng, saying, “This one must be an idiot? Don’t they know that Huaxie is unbeatable in melee? He must have a death wish in going over!”
“I don’t care if he has a death wish or not, but my goddess is going to win this match. But what I don’t understand is, why would someone so weak be able to survive until this point?”
“I watched two of his fights earlier. He has a very high combat rating and powerful Mysticism. It is natural for him to be able to reach this point of the tournament. But it looks like it’s going to end here.”
***
Just as everyone was watching Huaxie and his fight, he had already reached Huaxie.
“You will only die faster if you fight me in melee range!” Huaxie said as she swung both her hands and even more petals rushed toward Jiang Feng.
Whoosh!
It was at this time when a barrier of light appeared around him. He did not pay any attention to the petals, and he immediately thrust the Chengying Sword toward Huaxie’s throat.
“Chi shield! A true body!” When Huaxie saw this, her expression slightly darkened as she quickly retreated.
Unfortunately, despite her speed, Jiang Feng was much faster with his Expeditious Steps.
Jiang Feng avoided some of the petals and quickly appeared in front of her, and he violently stabbed Huaxie’s shoulder.
If it was not because Huaxie had quickly moved away, the attack would have reached her throat.
While it had only pierced through her shoulder, Huaxie’s reaction had also slowed down.
Boom! Boom!
It was at this time when many of the petals touched the chi shield and exploded.
Whoosh!
The explosion created a screen of smoke and dust. And it was at this time the players that were watching Jiang Feng and Huaxie’s battle could see the shining light from the swords.
Before the dust settled, the battle had already finished and the image stopped showing.
Many of the players that were watching were stunned and began to discuss it.
“Holy sh*t, so who won in the end?”
“It has to be my goddess Huaxie! She is at Earth Realm One Star! She should be able to steamroll over a player that is only at Black Realm One Star even though he has high combat power.”
“That isn’t necessarily true. You saw that, right? That man entered the Great World of Tianji using his real body and has access to the chi shield. He must also know some immensely powerful Mysticisms. The decision is still up in the air.”
