Chapter 618 Another One
After staring at the unconscious Chu Fan for a bit Richard approached him. Even unconscious Richard could still feel Chu Fan emitting some battle intent. If Richard would attack right now he was sure Chu Fan’s unconscious body would move on its own. Richard sighed a little regretful that the battle ended this way.
“You were a good opponent. As my Ancestor used to say, that was a great fight.” Richard nodded his head and carried Chu Fan’s body, as he was about to leave the arena while carrying Chu Fan the Elder stopped him.
“Disciple Richard as the victor of this battle, you should stay and choose your next opponent. As for Disciple Chu Fan, there’s no need to worry about him I will have other people help him.”
“There’s no need for that Sect Elder, I will forfeit the next round.”
After saying his piece Richard stepped out of the fighting stage and headed toward the healers’ tent. Everyone was stunned by Richard’s decision of letting go of the opportunity of gaining more rewards if he continued fighting.
The Elder sighed as he watched Richard leave the arena. He could not say anything to entice Richard to continue since as a direct descendant of the Tranor Clan, the prizes given out in this event were nothing to him. The Elders of the Sect knew the only reason someone like Richard was in the Sect was that he was on a journey to see and experience more things. The real reason Richard chose the Void Sect wasn’t simply because it was the closest Sect that was near his clan.
Richard’s plan was simply to stay in the Sect for the time being and once the time of his training trip was over he would be able to quickly return to the clan. Yet now after fighting Chu Fan, Richard felt like there must be other incredible people outside of the Clans of the Strongest Mortal Soul.
…
Once Richard was out of sight, the Elder once again asked who among the Outer Sect Disciples would want to step forward. Unlike the first time, this time, many of the Outer Sect Disciples wanted to step forward.
The following battles weren’t as exciting as the first and the hierarchy of the Outer Sect Disciples had slightly changed. Also aside from Chu Fan, only a few Outer Sect Disciples challenged the disciples of higher ranking. Yet despite their valiant effort they were unable to secure a spot and defeat the disciples of higher rankings.
“Now that all the Outer Sect Disciples have finished their challenges it was time for the Inner Sect Disciples to start their own challenge. Who will step forward!”
The very moment the Elder spoke those words Mo Feng was the one who stepped forward. When the Elder saw the person who stepped forward he felt slightly nervous as he remembered the warning the Sect leader gave them. It wasn’t just him most of the Elders felt the same way.
“I Mo Feng an Inner Sect Disciple wish to challenge the Core Disciple Ming Hao!”
When those words were said everyone in the Sect had different reactions. Mo Wei taught that Mo Feng had gone crazy. Even now Mo Feng was still at the Foundation Establishment Realm, while Ming Hao was at the late stages of the Golden Core Realm.
Hearing how boldly Mo Feng challenged him Ming Hao was both annoyed and glad. He was so annoyed by the mere fact that Mo Feng dared to challenge him as if he had a chance of defeating him. Still, he was delighted now that he can actually kill Mo Feng with little punishment.
Even if the Elder wants to stop the match, Ming Hao was confident that he could kill Mo Feng before that happens and make it look like he didn’t mean it.
On the other hand, Elder Ming was panicking. He could pretty much guess what his idiotic grandson was thinking. Elder Ming quickly sent his grandson a message through their mental link.
‘Hao’er I’m sure that you understand that killing your opponents is forbidden. If you do anything stupid I won’t be able to help you.’
‘Grandfather do you think so little of me, I won’t go too far.’
‘Kid I know just how low you can truly go. If not for the fact that you were my only grandson and your father is dead making you my only heir, I would’ve crippled your cultivation or at least banished you from the clan.’
Ming Hao no longer bothered to respond, which made Elder Ming feel frustrated as he watched his grandson Ming Hao step onto the stage.
…
“How brave of you to challenge me Junior Brother Mo Feng.” 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
“Hmph, if I didn’t do this you would have never confronted me personally and just continue to harass me with those thugs of yours.”
“What are you even saying Junior Brother Mo Feng, it seems like you have some misunderstandings about me.”
“Heh, fine keep up the charade, after this battle it won’t matter anyway.”
“Whatever you say Junior Brother, but do you want me to suppress my cultivation to your level?”
“There’s no need for that, even with your higher cultivation I can still beat you.”
Mo Feng unsheathed his sword and took a rather similar stance it was the same as Richard’s neutral stance. Ming Hao gnashed his teeth in anger as he too unsheathed his sword from its scabbard.
“Alright, are you two ready?” The two nodded their heads. “Then, Begin!”
…
Ming Hao swung his sword unleashing a beam of sword light. The amount of power he used wasn’t even thirty percent of his full strength as he planned to play around with Mo Feng before killing him. He was expecting that Mo Feng would barely be able to survive the strike, but what happened next surprised not only him but everyone present. Mo Feng easily deflected the sword beam with a simple upward slash.
“Was that Sword Intent?! Mo Feng has actually comprehended sword intent!”
Upon seeing Mo Feng use Sword intent the crowd was in an uproar, and a lot of the Elders were stunned. On the other hand, Ming Hao continued gnashing his teeth in anger.
‘HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL!’
Ming Hao screamed in his mind as he floated above Mo Feng. The sound of Ming Hao chanting the secret mantra of the Void Sect echoed throughout the arena. A small swirling black hole appeared near Mo Feng. The gravity had increased to an incredible amount making the stage Mo Feng was standing on start to break sinking him in.
This was one of the Void Sect’s ultimate techniques, black hole. Unlike the spell black hole that Ren knows of, which was a spell that sucked the opponent into another dimension, this one was crushing Mo Feng with increasing gravity while pulling him into it. The closer the black hole got to Mo Feng the greater the gravity that was pulling him in and breaking him.
As everyone was shocked by the scene Elder Ming was about to intervene when he saw the look on Mo Feng’s face there was not a single trace of panic.
“Are you going to admit defeat now Mo Feng?”
Ming Hao asked with a condescending smile on his face. Ming Hao expected Mo Feng to cry for mercy, but instead what he heard was Mo Feng’s deep sigh.
