Ancient One - Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Chapter 21 . 1: Heaven and Earth

A large number of students had already gathered in the martial arts arena . The front row was filled with the members of the Xuan Gang . Each of them had their hands crossed in front of their chests, emitting a powerful aura that prevented anyone from approaching them! They were playing to seize the initiative . Before the match had even begun, they had already sent fear into the other party’s heart .

However, what made them disappointed was that after the aura dispersed for a long time, there was still no sign of Yunxiao . These Xuan Gang members were all tired to the point that their heads were covered in sweat and could no longer endure .

“Could it be that brat isn’t coming anymore?”

“It’s normal for him not to come . After all, losing face is better than losing his life!”

Everyone was discussing and cursing Yunxiao in their hearts . They were the ones who got tricked . Lan Xuan’s face was also a little blue as he sat upright on the stage . As he listened to the discussions of the crowd, he closed his eyes and waited .

“Fatty Han, do you think Li Yunxiao will come?” Qin Ruxue was also extremely perturbed in her heart . She hoped that he would come, but she also hoped that he wouldn’t come .

“I don’t know either . I haven’t seen him for the past few days . He couldn’t have escaped, right?” Han Bai suddenly thought of this possibility and said in surprise .

Chen Zhen was also stunned for a moment before shaking his head like a rattle drum . “Impossible! If that’s the case, then he isn’t worthy of being the Li Clan’s descendant, nor is he worthy of being our leader . A man can kneel to his knees and die, but he can’t bear the humiliation and stealthily live!”

When Qin Ruxue heard this, she became agitated and said angrily, “What do you mean by ‘life and death’? Speak nicely!”

“Look, that piece of trash is here!”

Just when everyone was getting impatient, a voice rang out . Everyone quickly turned their heads and saw that a hundred meters away, under the flying statue of Martial Emperor Gu Feiyang, his green clothes were covered in the light of the morning sun .

“Wow, he dares to come . What a hero!”

“Ha! He has no brains . He’s just a fool . ”

“Lan Xuan is a peak 9-Star Warrior . How many moves do you think the trash will be able to take?”

“How many moves? Ha-ha, if he doesn’t die in one move, then I’ll consider it his strength!”

The students in the originally packed martial arts practice field all moved to the side, opening up a path for him . Most of the people had gloating expressions on their faces as if they were waiting to see a good show .

“Get out of my way!” Qin Ruxue angrily squeezed out of the crowd and rushed in front of Yunxiao . “You fool, why did you come? Hurry and go back . He will kill you!”

Chen Zhen squeezed his way out . “Young Master Yun, what are you thinking?”

Yunxiao heart felt warm . There were only a few friends who cared about him .

Suddenly, a figure appeared . Luo Yunchang appeared in front of him and shouted: “Quickly scram back and don’t mess around . I will announce the cancellation of the duel!”

“What? Cancel?” Everyone was shocked as they began to curse in succession . “No wonder this brat was so fearless . So he had such a move!”

“Fuxk, he really lost face for the Li Clan!”

“He’s just a piece of trash himself . He lost everything long ago . It doesn’t matter if he loses face again!”

All kinds of angry curses were heard . Chen Zhen and Han Bai were so mad that their bodies trembled, their faces turning ashen .

“Teacher Luo, this is a duel between students, how can you cancel it?” A teacher named Xuan Ping suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice . “Moreover, Teacher Luo, you are part of the kingdom’s Divine Guard, it doesn’t seem convenient for you to participate in this matter . ”

The battle between the two had already attracted the attention of many teachers . It wasn’t because of the disparity in strength between the two, but because of their unique background, which just so happened to represent the two great powers of the Sky Water Nation . The teachers in the academy weren’t the only ones who did this . Many of them belonged to the two factions of influence . As for the Divine Guard, they were the strongest military force in the kingdom under the direct command of the king .

Luo Yunchang’s eyes released a bright light as she closed in on Xuan Ping and coldly said, “I only know that Li Yunxiao is my student and I have an obligation to protect him . If Teacher Xuan says so, then who are you under?”

Xuan Ping’s expression changed as he firmly shook his head . “I don’t belong to any faction . It’s just that as a teacher of the academy, it’s inconvenient for me to participate in the students’ private battles . I need to be fair and unbiased . ”

Yunxiao rushed in front of Luo Yunchang and said, “Teacher Luo, I am your student, why do you always have to protect Lan Xuan? What Teacher Xuan said was right . It is best to maintain fairness and not side with anyone . All of you can leave now . Even if I cripple him, it would only take a few minutes . ”

Luo Yunchang and the rest were startled .

Is there something wrong with his head? Was he scared silly?

While they were stunned, Yunxiao had already stepped onto the practice grounds . Step by step, he walked towards Lan Xuan .

“Ai, this bastard!” Luo Yunchang was so angry that she stomped her feet . There was nothing she could do to stop the duel . All of her attention was focused on him, ready to rescue him at any moment . No matter what, he couldn’t let Yunxiao be crippled!

“I thought you wouldn’t dare to come . ” Lan Xuan stood up and mocked coldly .

“Do you think saying a few more words can prolong your feeling of existence?” Yunxiao coldly snorted . He took a step forward, and a burst of energy emanated from his body .

“A Martial Warrior? This kid really became a Warrior! “Although Zhong Lishan had told her about it, to see it with her own eyes was still extremely shocking . She was sure that a few days ago, Yunxiao was still a trash who had yet to open a meridian wheel .

Chapter 21 . 2: Heaven and Earth

“How is this possible? This brat is actually a 1-Star Martial Warrior!” The students outside of the practice grounds were completely shocked . The sight of Yue Zheng standing in the middle of the crowd was like a hammer striking at them . Their hearts were filled with shock .

“No wonder my good-for-nothing little brother isn’t a match for you . You’ve really hidden your strength so deeply!” Lan Xuan sneered . “But that’s the end of your good luck!”

The aura around Lan Xuan’s body exploded out, and waves of energy surged out . The air around him seemed to be affected and started to spin rapidly . The students near the practice grounds seemed to feel a slight pressure .

“He really is a peak 9-star Warrior . This Lan Xuan is incredible . I’m afraid that in less than a month, he will be able to break through become a Martial Master!” Xuan Ping praised from the stands . “How many moves do you think that Li Yunxiao will be able to last?”

“How many moves?” Another teacher said with a laugh . “Look at the contrast between their auras . I’m afraid that he’ll be crushed to pieces if that Li Yunxiao touch it . The last time, Commander Xiao Chen also praised Young Master Lan Xuan . He had the intention of recruiting Young Master Xuan . ”

“Oh?” Xuan Ping’s eyes lit up as he said happily . “Young Master Xuan is just a step away from becoming a Martial Master . Becoming the kingdom’s Divine Guard is an extremely important matter . If this Li Yunxiao can take one of his blows and not die, then he would be a genius . ”

Wang Feng, who was standing at the side, was silent . His eyes were incomparably gloomy . Although he was part of the Lan Clan, he was on the side of his nephew . Now that his nephew had been expelled, he felt extremely oppressed as he looked at his competitor who was in the limelight . He wished that Yunxiao could give him a big surprise and completely cripple Lan Xuan . However, he knew in his heart that this was just a dream .

“One move? I don’t think so . ” The eyes of Zhong Lishan, who had suddenly not spoken at all, sparkled as he stared at Yunxiao’s steps on the martial stage . He seemed interested . “You guys have underestimated this Li Yunxiao . This duel might be worth it . ”

The rest of the teachers were stunned . Luo Yunchang was also shocked and confused . She looked up and saw that Yunxiao was slowly walking closer to Lan Xuan, his movements extremely slow as if he was being pressured to move an inch . Every step he took would require a lot of energy .

Amongst the people present, only Zhong Lishan faintly felt that something was amiss . He was a Martial King and had already discovered that the air around Li Yunxiao was somewhat strange . With every step he took, the entire space seemed to tremble . At this moment, he had the illusion that the laws of the world within a certain radius were jumping along with Yunxiao’s footsteps as if they were alive!

“Zi!” Thinking of this, Zhong Lishan sucked in a breath of cold air .

How was this possible?! This kid’s steps is definitely a secret technique . At the very least, it gave rise to the aura in the surroundings . It was the same frequency as his footsteps . What a profound martial skill!

After Zhong Lishan’s reminder, Luo Yunchang seemed to have noticed something and sunk into deep thought .

“Trash, it’s already getting harder and harder under my aura . You still want to fight me?!” Lan Xuan laughed in disdain .

A massive amount of origin energy crazily rushed into his right hand . Circles of origin energy rippled outwards like ripples in the sea . It was like a whirlpool on the sea, showing the power of rotation .

“Don’t worry . I won’t kill you . I will beat you until you kneel and admit your mistake and make your Li Clan completely unable to raise its head!” Lan Xuan planned on winning with a single move and establishing his prestige .

“Flowing Cloud Sword Art, Revolving Star Palm!”

He pushed out his palm, and the surrounding heaven and earth origin energy crazily rushed over, forming a cyclone that covered the sky and covered Yunxiao!

“Turn the sword into a palm; the palm is like a spinning star . Good!” Xuan Ping couldn’t help but start cheering . Although the other teachers didn’t like Xuan Ping’s flattery, they still revealed an expression of praise . Only Zhong Lishan’s expression was grave as he stared at Yunxiao .

Yunxiao’s face turned cold . The Essence in his body suddenly gathered at his feet and shot out explosively . His body turned into a blur as he flew into the air! The rocks on the ground were instantly trampled into pieces .

“What’s going on? So fast!”

Lan Xuan’s expression changed . Yunxiao’s speed unexpectedly broke through the wind surrounding his fist as he shouted in anger, “You want to run? Dream on!”

Lan Xuan’s right palm changed, and a vortex appeared . The attacking range increased several times in an instant .

Yunxiao leaped into the air . In the air, he could no longer evade!

“Humph! Moon Steps, Shadow Shifter!”

Just as everyone opened their eyes wide in preparation to see how Yunxiao would withstand this move, his body suddenly turned into an afterimage in the air . He moved several feet horizontally in a strange posture, forcefully dodging the attack!

“How is this possible? What was this movement technique? Crossing through the air?!” Lan Xuan’s pupils contracted to the point that his eyeballs popped out!

Just as everyone was staring with their mouths agape, Yunxiao’s figure took a step forward in the air . It was as if he was crossing the sky, and didn’t fall! As his foot landed, some force seemed to have been drawn into the void, causing everyone’s heart to slightly tremble .

Zhong Lishan’s pupils abruptly shrank as he jumped up from his chair in shock . The others weren’t clear, but he could see that Yunxiao’s previous step was a continuation of his last step . Both the frequency and timing were exactly the same!

In other words, he was not incomparably able to dodge Lan Xuan’s attack . Rather, it was to complete this set of strange steps . As he took this final step, the rhythm of the world began to move with him .

Suddenly, beams of golden light shot out from his body as he descended from the sky . The energy of the world seemed to be drawn in and gushed into his body . It made him feel as if the sky was collapsing and all living things were converging at one point .

“To borrow the power of the world!”

Zhong Lishan paled in shock, his two eyes staring straight ahead! He finally understood the function of Yunxiao’s footwork . It was to mobilize the energy of the world, which was to borrow energy from the heavens and the earth!
