I am the young master

(A/N: thank you for all the comments on the previous chapters. for now, I will continue with daily updates…)

——(POV third person)—— ​​

The crowd was gathering where Peng Chun fell to the ground and lay there unconscious. True, Peng Chun is one realm lower than Li Huang but to lose a fight with only one slap, is not something that anyone predicted to happen. They know that Li Huang was a powerful genius but no one expected such a performance from him. In the last fight that they saw from Li Huang, although he won in the end, many thought that he was studying the opponent and not that he was using some technique named [Drunken Sword Master] that the fight was that long.

There is a difference between knowing and seeing with one's own eyes, and now the crowd saw with their own eyes that Li Huang was strong enough to even finish Dai Bao in one move but with the way he fought he was giving face to Dai Bao and if this Peng Chun wouldn't think himself worthy of challenging him, he wouldn't show his true powers.

They were not exaggerating that much about the second part of their conclusion but couldn't be more wrong about the first part. Li Huang didn't give a shit about giving face to Dai Bao, he was simply trying to impress his grandmother's master, the grand elder of the White Moon Sect, Su Zhi(A/N: this is the first time her name is mentioned so memorize it…).

If the audience knew that the noble cause that they thought about was not true at all, most of them would end up coughing up blood. Luckily for them, they didn't know about this fact.

Li Huang who was oblivious to this, just now noticed that he has to give an excuse for using his full power, and Peng Chun ending up unconscious.

'I mean I didn't do anything against the laws but I can at least say a few words…' Li Huang thought to himself.

"My apologies, I thought he was strong enough to challenge for one of the vice-leader thrones so i didn't think that this would happen…" he said matter of factly but to everyone else it sounded arrogant.

But everybody know that it is only arrogance if you can't back it, and he has already shown his qualifications to say these words. Peng Chun must have been blind to challenge Li Huang, a chief disciple, and expect any other result.

The referee soon announced the winner after sending Peng Chun for some checkups.

"The winner of this challenge is Li Huang." He said.

Li Huang got back to his throne while the crowd was cheering him for the fight, a fight that lasted about a second.

After sitting in his seat, Hu Anjing started speaking to him.

"Junior uncle, you really didn't go easy on him…" she said with a knowing smile.

Li Huang waved his hand dismissively.

"He made me walk all this way to him, how could I be so insensitive to not give him a good fight?" He asked her sarcastically.

"You truly are the most sensible one!" Hu Anjing said and they both laughed a little.

Right about that time, grand elder Wan got to the stage and announced the end of the second day of the heavenly sword sect's selection. He then continued with some explanation about tomorrow's plan.

"Tomorrow the 55 participants would fight for the 10 thrones that would represent the sect in the [Eternal wail trial] and also they can fight for the eleventh throne." He said and looked at the crowd.

The eleventh throne would fight with the best of the smaller powers, meaning the crowd here. Because of that, they were paying extra attention to this throne because it could result in destroying their chance of getting into the [Eternal Wail Trial].

The seven holy lands would each select the eleventh place and in the end, create a team of seven. After the selection of the smaller powers of the 30 places is done, this team will fight the top seven disciples of the smaller powers and if they can win more than half of the fights, the holy lands can fight for these 30 places too, else the smaller powers can keep it for themselves.

It might seem like a harsh rule but it is logical to send the best of the best in this trial to have better gains.

Grand elder Wan said this part to build tension in the crowd and this way make them aware that the heavenly sword sect and the other holy lands are not giving away 30 spots as a charity and you have to be strong to be respected.

Without any more delay, grand elder Wan spoke again.

"Tomorrow the disciples also can only challenge three times so you better keep that in mind when choosing your opponents. Also know that only the challenger is limited and there is no limit on the one who is getting challenged and they can be challenged as many times as the challengers desire.." He said while looking at all of the heavenly sword sect disciples.

The fact that they can only challenge three times is a good thing as it makes it more serious when choosing someone to challenge and no one would do the same as Peng Chun did today.

But the second part of the news wasn't a good thing for everyone.

'What the hell. This way they can spam challenge me tomorrow.' Li Huang wasn't happy with this.

He knows that many youngsters might want to show that they are good enough and gain some recognition and reputation. To Li Huang's delight, one of the best ways to do so is challenging one of the candidates of the next patriarch position and the current patriarch's grandson, Li Huang himself.

'Hopefully, they don't challenge me as much because of what happened to Peng Chun today.' Li Huang prayed for it to be so.

What Li Huang didn't take into consideration was that many would do high-risk things so that they can have the slightest chances of being successful. So even if it seems impossible but there is a chance greater than zero, they would jump ship for that minuscule chance of success.

After a few more minutes of grand elder Wan speaking to the crowd, the selection officially was finished on the second day and Li Huang and others could get back and have some rest before tomorrow.

Along the way, Li Huang gave some advice to Hu Anjing as the sensible paranoid that he is.

"Try to finish your fights fast, Don't let them buy time by talking, talk to them with your swords." Li Huang said as if painting a specific situation.

Hu Anjing only nodded at his words.

"Don't think of Dai Bao as the idiot that he is. He simply lost to that Jin Fen because he was too full of himself and didn't finish the fight fast." Li Huang tried to come up with an example.

Hu Anjing put her hand on Huang's shoulder to stop him.

"I will be fine." She said with a smile.

"And also don't forget that I was a killer for many years…" she added with a grin after a few seconds.

Li Huang felt embarrassed. He was giving a piece of advice to a professional.

"Okay, so get some rest because tomorrow could get hectic very soon. What's more, we are in the center of it." He said as they were reaching the temporary rooms.

"We will be fine." Hu Anjing lightly punched Huang's chest and went to her room.

After a few seconds, Li Huang likewise went to his room and rested for the night.
