Chapter 380: Someone that Could Only be Looked Up To
“He has lost a lot of blood and sustained internal injuries, but he should be fine.” After checking Baili Han’s injuries, Ling Chuxi was relieved, but her heart clenched at the gruesome wounds all over his body.
“Let’s send him to be treated first,” Ling Chuxi said to the envoy.
“Wait. I want to see how you will defeat him,” Baili Han said to Ling Chuxi hoarsely, forcing his eyes open.
“Alright.” Ling Chuxi looked at Baili Han and nodded understandingly. She took out a porcelain bottle from her bag and passed it to Ling Yichen. “Give this to Baili. Stop the bleeding first.”
Ling Chuxi raised her head, her cold gaze on Duan Qingchou who was still in the fighting ring.
“You’re next.” Duan Qingchou pointed at Ling Chuxi with his sword.
Ling Chuxi’s expression was indifferent as she slowly walked towards the fighting ring, her strides steady.
Everyone stared at her, slightly unsure of what to expect.
Before the competition, everyone expected that Nan Xia Country would have had a crushing defeat, unable to even fight for fourth place. After seeing the match pairings from the drawn lots, they had been even more sure of their speculations.
However, seeing Baili Han’s determination, perseverance, and unyielding willpower earlier put an inexplicable thought in their minds: ‘Nan Xia Country seems to have changed, maybe the ending will be different this time?’
Everyone was confused by the confidence on Ling Chuxi’s face. Why? How could she remain calm when facing the strong Wan Chuan Country, and the brutal Duan Qingchou? Anyone could see that she was not pretending, and was genuinely self-assured.
“Are you sure you want to go up? If you admit defeat now and preserve your cultivation, you guys might still have a chance of getting fourth place,” the referee said quietly to Ling Chuxi. As a referee, he should not have been saying that to a contestant, but he could not bear to witness this elegant and beautiful young lady get mauled by Duan Qingchou.
“My target is to be the champion.” Ling Chuxi smiled at him.
The referee blinked, startled. ‘Is she joking? Why does she look so calm though?’
“Be careful,” the referee murmured after a while. Perhaps it was his respect for Baili Han or pity for this beautiful young lady, that made the referee whisper words that he should not have.
Ling Chuxi stepped into the fighting ring. Even though she had not released any Battle Qi, she looked serene and composed. The golden rays of the sun shone on her, enveloping her in a brilliant radiance.
As Xiao Tianying gazed at Ling Chuxi, he suddenly had the thought that she was a person one could only look up to, but could never reach. For a person like him who had been proud and arrogant since young, this was a feeling he had never felt before.
The battle drum sounded. The crowd was lively again, and they could not help but silently root for Ling Chuxi. They had already seen how strong Duan Qingchou was, and they had also witnessed his viciousness. What would the ending be like for this match? Would this young lady before them end up like Baili Han? The suspense was making the crowd anxious.
“You still dare to come up? Don’t think that just because you are a woman, I will take it easy on you,” Duan Qingchou sneered at Ling Chuxi.
