Chapter 959: Chapter 962: The Unlucky Guy_1 Chapter 959: Chapter 962: The Unlucky Guy_1 The final match of the challenge had begun.

As the time drew near, all the contestants and spectators began to file into the arena.

After the shimmering of white lights, every seat was occupied.

Compared to yesterday’s match, today’s crowd was no less intensive, nor was it any larger, simply because there were already no remaining seats.

The contestants took their places, waiting for the commencement of the match.

On the chairman’s platform, Old Man Canjing and Devine Venerable had already arrived, Han Xuan too was waiting, waiting for Princess Bai Xue of Qingqiu Mountain to arrive and announce the start of the match.

But after waiting for a while, Bai Xue was nowhere to be seen.

…

The audience couldn’t help but wonder, why was Bai Xue late?

Lin Zhen’s gaze wandered around the arena, at the seats of the Endless Species, a flash of white light, and Dong Xuehan appeared in her seat.

This is the first time Dong Xuehan appeared in the Endless Species’ seats, even Tiannie and others were stunned for a moment.

Dressed in a white cloak, her face was blurred by a faint shimmering light, no one could see Dong Xuehan’s true face clearly.

But Lin Zhen could feel a palpable gaze, like a knife scouring over his body.

It was an extremely dangerous sensation, filled with intense resentment.

Lin Zhen, who always feared nothing, was a little uneasy at this moment.

The events that had transpired due to alcohol and other factors had led him to act as he did.

Dong Xuehan was the top contender of the two major species’ Hall of Fame, not to mention being an excellent woman and this was her first time.

The fact that Lin Zhen had messed up her night made him grateful she didn’t strangle him on the spot.

Now that things had gotten to this point, Lin Zhen steeled his heart.

He couldn’t always be this uncomfortable under her constant scrutiny.

He courageously met her gaze.

Upon feeling Dong Xuehan’s stare, Lin Zhen gently pouted and blew a kiss into the air towards her.

This move was undeniably effective.

The oppressive aura from Dong Xuehan’s side faltered slightly.

Lin Zhen could feel the confusion that was radiating from her without even being there.

Naturally, the oppression also vanished.

Lin Zhen couldn’t help but rejoice.

No matter how strong she might be, in this regard, she was still a naive girl.

Dong Xuehan’s gaze was no longer directed his way.

Lin Zhen felt relieved and patiently waited for Bai Xue’s appearance.

But Bai Xue did not appear.

Instead, a huge water mirror emerged.

Bai Xue appeared in the water mirror, addressing everyone present: “There are important matters in my tribe, and I cannot leave temporarily.

I am here to announce the beginning of the match, and hope everyone can fight fairly.”

The water mirror was large, prominently showcasing Bai Xue’s stunning beauty.

In the water mirror, Bai Xue’s face luminously radiant.

Her flawless skin shimmered in the light, eyes sparkling, and her stunning beauty caused men to involuntarily swallow.

“Oh my!

Bai Xue is stunning!”

“That’s right, she is one of the designated fiances of Emperor Juetian, along with her sister Bai Susu – they are the two most beautiful women in the Endless Species.”

“Emperor Juetian is really fortunate.

This is indeed the pinnacle of life; we can only admire him in this lifetime.”

“Ah!

Envy, a man should be like Emperor Juetian.”

With the disappearance of the water mirror, the final match of the challenge had officially begun.

*********

The battle of the first group commenced first.

The first group was made up of five members: Dong Xuehan, An Luoqi, Augustine, Giant Dragon King, and India.

In the first round, Dong Xuehan faced off against India.

This match was touted as the most predictable match of all in the finals.

India was the fifth-ranked within the Endless Species, while Dong Xuehan was number one.

It was hard to imagine India mustering the courage to confront Dong Xuehan.

But India didn’t think so.

Although he understood that he was no match for Dong Xuehan, he still wanted to try.

His good friend, Tiger King, came over to him to encourage him.

“India, this is a Dimensional Universe, there is no real death.

Even if you take action, I believe that Lady Dong Xuehan will be generous and won’t take offense.

Moreover, for a martial artist, fighting to the best of your abilities is the greatest respect to their opponent.”

Upon hearing the Tiger King’s words, India, who was previously nervous, was much relieved.

“That’s right, how could Lady Dong Xuehan overscrutinize me?

I’ve also heard some legends about her; she might be a bit cold, but she is a very good person.

She might even take this opportunity to give me some pointers.”

“Absolutely.

Lady Dong Xuehan is second only to the Deities in our Endless Species, the strongest of us all.

A few pointers from her would benefit you for a lifetime.”

However, India was still a bit worried, “What I’m worried about is if Lady Dong Xuehan uses her move of waving you off with one hand and you obliviously step down from the ring.

Then I would gain nothing from this match.”

Upon hearing this, Tiger King’s eyes spun in thought, “Got it!

When you go up there, you can discuss it with her.

You could ask her not to use that move, and to fight with you for a longer period.

This would be a great help to your future.

I believe she would agree.”

India’s eyes lit up, “You’re absolutely right, let’s do it.”

After discussing, India stepped onto the stage.

After him, a flash of white light, and Dong Xuehan, clad in white, appeared on the stage.

“Greetings, Lady Dong Xuehan!”

India paid his respects dutifully.

As a two-time champion, Dong Xuehan was the nation’s idol of the Endless Species.

Those who were not yet gods dared not disrespect Dong Xuehan, demonstrating their reverence for the strong.

Dong Xuehan made no statement, indicating his readiness to make a move.

India hurriedly raised his hands saying, “Sir, wait a minute, wait a minute!”

As soon as he said that, India seemed to hear gritting teeth from Dong Xuehan’s end, and the temperature in the venue instantly dropped by more than ten degrees.

“What do you have to say?” came a somewhat husky voice from the other end.

Although India didn’t comprehend, he braced himself and said, “Sir, I have an impolite request.

I know that I am far from being your match and should admit automatic defeat.

However, considering my dedication to the martial art, I hope you could use this opportunity to share some tips.

I would be endlessly grateful.”

Dong Xuehan paused for a moment, then said coldly, “You want me to spar with you a bit longer.”

“Yes, exactly.

That’s what I mean,” India responded elatedly.

Dong Xuehan slightly nodded, “Since you made such a request, I will grant it.

But remember, a fight is not child’s play.

It hurts.”

“It doesn’t matter.

As long as the sir could instruct me a few moves, pain means nothing, it doesn’t bother me at all.”

“Hehe!

Fine, I will grant your wish,” Dong Xuehan responded.

Upon hearing this, there was a simmering discontent amongst the Ground Clan.

What does this mean?

Everyone knew that this fight was a foregone conclusion.

But how could Dong Xuehan take this opportunity to brazenly teach someone martial skills?

Didn’t he regard the Ground Clan at all?

Yet, given Dong Xuehan’s revered status, they did not voice their objections.

They simply judged Dong Xuehan as a reasonable and good-tempered martial artist.

However, as soon as the battle began, it took a shocking turn.

Dong Xuehan raised both hands, and as if something in mid-air hoisted India up, he was fixed in the air with limbs spread wide.

India tried hard to wiggle his body and break free, but under Dong Xuehan’s powerful suppression, he couldn’t even move a finger.

Dong Xuehan’s voice was as cold as ice shards, “This is my Void Imprison.

Not many deities can achieve it to this extent.

You are lucky to be able to experience this today.”

“Ah…thank you…thank you, sir.”

“You’re welcome.

Now, feel the pain,” Dong Xuehan said.

Dong Xuehan started his move.

With an arm held high, he lifted his snow-white wrist and pointed his orchid-like fingers in mid-air, generating a sky full of Sword Qi.

With a clear sound, the Sword Qi, resembling stormy rain, was directed at India.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, alongside screams of agony.

In the blink of an eye, India was pierced all over with countless bloody holes.

His eyes were burst, his mouth was penetrated, his abdomen was ripped open, and all his tendons were severed!

Dong Xuehan pointed with his other hand, and a ray of white light enveloped the scene.

“Light of Recovery!”

The energy infused with strong light elements enveloped India’s body, healing his damaged body instantly.

As soon as he recovered, the Sword Qi continued to hit him.

Shot and healed over and over again, India’s screams never stopped.

The horrifying sound was comparable to the cries of a cuckoo, making everyone’s skin crawl.

“Puff, puff, puff~~~!!”

A series of Sword Qi hit India’s lower body.

That part was severed and then it grew back, only to be immediately severed again!

India’s scream altered in pitch.

He wanted to learn a few tricks from Dong Xuehan, certainly not this kind of torment.

“Sir!

Wait a minute…wait a minute, please!”

The temperature seemingly dropped even further.

Rather than stopping, Dong Xuehan waved his hand again, and a myriad of Sword Qi transformed into four huge swords that surrounded India from all directions.

“You should be grateful that you are an Endless Species, and you should be thankful that this is the Dimensional Universe.

Since you want to learn, then learn my Four Symbols Divine Sword!”

“Slash!!”

The four huge swords, moving with immense speed, shook the air as they chopped India into a pile of mush.

Pure, rotten mush!

Real slush, so rotted it couldn’t be further rotted!

Blood dripped from the air and splashed on the ground.

Dong Xuehan closed his eyes for a moment, took a long breath, and the temperature in the arena slowly returned to normal.

“That feels much better,” he said.

Without lingering, Dong Xuehan got off the platform and returned to his seat; the match had ended.

As Dong Xuehan took his seat, even Tiannie beside him couldn’t help but scoot away from him, with everyone else also moving away, leaving a clear space around Dong Xuehan.
