Chapter 69 - Believe in Me!
The whole God Stone Square was silent. Mo Zhan’s clamoring seemed to echo in the arena.
Shi Jian face was in a grimace, and he was trembling in rage. He almost wanted to go to the middle of the arena and slap Mo Zhan to death.
The Beiming, Ling, Mo, and Zuo families all looked at Shi Jian. Many warriors around the arena were looking at Shi Jian in sympathy.
At this point, everyone could see the vicious heart of the Mo family, and they also knew that they had definitely used some unusual means.
However, that’s what the Martial Competition was like. Each side would use their own methods, and as long as they’re not strongly against the rules of the arena, no matter how tragically the loser turned out to be, no one would say a thing.
Even if the Shi family were highly displeased, at that moment, there was nothing they could argue about. And the others of course, would not step into such murky waters.
At that moment, Han Feng suddenly came up from behind the people of the Shi family and passed a slip of paper to Shi Jian. He said, “Master, someone told me to give this to you.”
Shi Jian was barely able to control his anger. As he took a glance at the note, his expression suddenly froze.
“The children from the Mo family have taken the Blood Vigor Pill, made by the Poison Dragon Valley of the God Blessed Empire. The Blood Vigor Pill allows one to increase their strength by twofold for a short period of time at the cost of being unable to use their martial powers for a whole year. It is best for you not to continue the following matches, or else you will still lose miserably. The old man standing next to Mo Zhan is the alchemist Xie Shou from the Poisonous Dragon Valley! Sincerely, Mu Xun.”
Shi Jian looked at the words on the paper with a grim face. He finally knew what the Mo family had done.
Just to deal with the Shi family, Mo Tuo had sacrificed a year of his grandchildren’s cultivation. In turn, this caused Shi Tian Luo and Shi Tian Yun of the Shi family to be bedridden for at least three to five years. This method was ruthless to the extreme!
Shi Jian’s expression was gloomy. Looking at Shi Yan, he suddenly could not decide how to proceed.
If Mu Xun didn’t pass on this information, Shi Jian might have actually let Shi Yan enter the arena.
But since now the truth was known, Shi Jian knew that Mo Zhan must have also taken that Blood Vigor Pill, and that now his abilities were enhanced for the upcoming battle. Knowing this, Shi Jian faltered.
Mo Zhan was already at the Third Sky of the Nascent Realm. But after taking the Blood Vulgar Pill, he would have the ability of a Human Realm warrior. Human Realm warriors could easily break the second stage of Shi Yan’s Petrification Martial Spirit.
Shi Yan had only started cultivating recently, so Shi Jian naturally thought that Shi Yan lacked real battle experience.
In this situation, Shi Yan could easily be crushed by his opponent. But Shi Yan had twin Martial Spirits. In a long run, he would definitely become as good as Beiming Ce. He was the true future hope of the Shi family.
If this battle led to Shi Yan losing miserably and suffering heavy injuries, not only would it slow down his path to success, the strike could probably devastate him forever.
The more he weighed his options, the more hesitant Shi Jian felt. He almost had the thought to protect Shi Yan even if he were to be disgraced.
Then, at this moment.
Zuo Shi came slowly from the Zuo family’s side, carrying a giant backpack.
Zuo Shi’s captivating figure caused unrest outside the arena. Many looked at Zuo Shi lasciviously, their eyes gazing towards her beautiful long legs.
Soon, Zuo Shi arrived at the Shi family’s place. She stood next to Shi Jian and put the backpack on the Shi family’s table, saying quietly, “Grandpa Shi, my grandpa told me to bring the Dragon Turtle Armor to you in the hope that you would win.”
Then, she turned her head and looked at Shi Yan, and spoke quietly, “Go for it.”
After that, Zuo Shi left the Shi family area and returned to the Zuo family.
Even when she arrived back at the Zuo family, her beautiful eyes were still locked onto Shi Yan from across the arena.
Everyone in the Shi family felt devastated.
Not only those who didn’t know about Shi Yan’s situation, even those who were actually aware of Shi Yan’s cultivation level were also pitying him.
A warrior who just recently broke through to the Third Sky of the Nascent Realm, versus one who heavily trained for twenty years, and slowly came to this realm step by step. It’s clear who was stronger.
Besides, the Mo family obviously played dirty, so now the actual gap between the two was like a deep valley.
“Dragon Turtle Armor!”
When Shi Jian saw the armour he was completely shocked. Even though his confidence was restored, he still hesitated a bit. Passing the paper slip to Shi Yan, he murmured, “Sigh… grandpa doesn’t know what to do either, you decide for yourself. If you think it’s too hard, then… just give up.”
When he said the words “give up”, Shi Jian suddenly felt exhausted, as if he aged some years.
Shi Yan still looked unconcerned with the recent surprising developments. He glanced at the paper slip, but didn’t show any reaction. He was still calm as ever. He had already realised that the Mo family must have used some underhanded means.
Before Shi Jian had even finished speaking, Shi Yan leapt off and appeared in the middle of the arena. He spoke lightly, “Shi Yan from the Shi family. Nascent Realm, Third Sky. Please enlighten me!”
A great disturbance stirred in the crowd!
The silent arena suddenly became louder than the street markets. Many were in utter shock, puzzled, as they looked at Shi Yan.
“Who’s this kid? I’ve never heard of this guy in the Shi family.”
“Right, he never showed up in any of the previous Martial Competitions. When did the Shi family get such a warrior?”
