Chapter 185: An Opponent
Tang Yin looked out of curiosity at his opponent's rank and was surprised, 'The top 1 of the B Rank list?' Tang Yin thought and quickly entered the arena after learning this.
This person...
He was possibly strong, or at least stronger than the last few who had touched him.
And as soon as he entered, he was shocked by what he saw.
'From the Third Level of the Spiritual Ancestor Realm?' Tang Yin thought in surprise, and the man in front of him smiled.
"Kid, are you sure you want to fight me? I'm just quickly moving up to S Rank because I need to meet the hall requirements, how about you get out before the stakes are completed? That way you won't lose too much for this and let me continue my tour." He said, and Tang Yin smiled.
'So, he's also an elite disciple? And he seems to be recent, but he's not a new disciple, is he a disciple who had been cultivating behind closed doors as well as that young lady?' Tang Yin thought doubtfully. As he did so, he was speaking to the person in front of him.
"That's just what I'm doing. I need to get to Rank S as soon as possible because I'm on a bet, so why don't you turn around and let me win? I'll reward you for it if you do." Tang Yin replied, and the man in front of him shrugged his shoulders.
"Looks like I've met a new elite disciple from another hall then. Come on, let's finish this quickly, I don't like to intimidate the weak." He said as he drew his sword and pointed it at Tang Yin.
The latter smiled and drew his spear, slamming it into the ground.
"A spear wielder... Are you from the spear attack hall? Or the destroyer hall?" the man in front of him asked.
"What do you think?" Tang Yin asked as he tapped his spear lightly against the ground again.
This small movement caused the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble and rumble for a moment in the other's ears, so he was startled.
"A member of the destroyer hall..." He said with a smile, "Hehe, I've always wanted to face one. Looks like this time luck goes with me. Let's fight then." He said and then firmly grabbed his sword.
"My name is Zhi Hong. I hope to learn from you." He replied, and Tang Yin smiled.
"Tang Yin." He replied without saying anything else, and Zhi Hong then smiled. He didn't want to waste time, so he immediately made his move.
He swung his sword a little and then ran across the arena forcefully in Tang Yin's direction.
The latter responded in kind, confronting his blow directly with a thrust of his spear.
*BOOOOM*
The intense explosion occurred in their surroundings as both weapons collided forcefully, and after that, both of them threw different blows back and forth at each other, while Zhi Hong was stunned by Tang Yin's ability.
'He only has one arm, how the hell can he be so versatile with a spear?' He thought in shock as he attacked him from different angles and without rest.
As Tang Yin smiled, 'This guy is quite strong, he can fight those above him in cultivation in terms of strength, but his speed is no slouch and this spiritual energy is quite sharp. He is a capable guy, but...' Tang Yin smiled at this moment as both weapons collided forcefully.
Tang Yin took advantage of the impact and mutual destruction of both spiritual energies to make a strange movement to the right on his spear.
This move caused the sword in Zhi Hong's hand to roll a little bit, slightly surprising him, and Tang Yin took advantage of this moment to launch a flying kick to his chest that sent him flying backward for a few meters.
Quickly, Tang Yin leaped up to stand above him and sent a strong blow towards him, ready to hit him squarely in the shoulder.
Zhi Hong noticed this, so immediately and in an unexpected move for Tang Yin, he swung his sword to the front and shouted, "Swordsman's Iron Wall!" and an intense wall of spiritual energy, black formed in front of him. ƜѴ∟ΞƜⱣ¥Ʀ@
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The powerful explosion came the moment Tang Yin hit the wall hard, and it shattered into pieces soon after, sending Zhi Hong forcefully to hit the ground, but...
This was the purpose of the wall, and Tang Yin knew it.
Soon, a large number of blades left from the iron wall flew forcefully towards him.
'Shit, he's cunning.' Tang Yin thought with surprise, but... 'Heh, let's see who's more cunning.' He thought again and swung his spear quickly, slamming it into the spiritual energy below him as if it were a small apartment formed there.
*TUHK*
This created a small dull sound that caused all the spiritual energy coming towards him to instantly stop a few centimeters away from him as it jumped backwards leaning on one of the small debris of spiritual energy that passed underneath him.
Tang Yin smiled as he went airborne.
"You're cunning and quite a bit stronger than I thought, but..." Tang Yin then swung his spiritual spear forcefully towards the attacks that had stopped in midair as he sent out a powerful blast of spiritual energy, causing them to fly in the opposite direction they should.
"These kinds of attacks are usually harmful to you as well." Tang Yin said with a smile at that moment as he fell to the ground again.
This shocked Zhi Hong, who instantly swung his sword to hit these attacks hard and destroy them, 'What the hell? He returned my attack so easily? What a powerful control of spiritual energy he has!' He thought in shock after he finished defending himself from this little counterattack of Tang Yin.
He was quite stunned, he always thought that his combat experience was one of the best in the entire external sect, but here was a person of a lower cultivation than him, with a greater battle experience than him.
He was quite stunned by this besides, 'Isn't he too young?' He thought in shock, and Tang Yin smiled from afar.
Although he could end the fight at that moment, he wanted to take some time because this person had surprised him.
Zhi Hong smiled upon seeing this.
"You're more capable than I thought. It looks like this fight might be hard to win." Zhi Hong said smiling as he tightened his grip on his sword firmly.
It had been a long time since he had felt excited, as he had been cultivating for a long time locked up.
Hearing this, Tang Yin shook his head.
"No, you've already lost." Tang Yin replied, slightly surprising him.
"What do you mean?" he asked in shock, and soon after, he realized something, "You mean you already tested my strength and are completely sure to beat me quickly?" He asked, and Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders.
He wasn't going to answer him because he knew it would hurt his pride, it's better if he showed him.
So, Tang Yin jumped with strength and incredible speed towards where he was, arriving in an instant and quickly using the momentum of his speed to hit him hard in the side.
"KAGH!" A cry of pain escaped from Zhi Hong's mouth at that moment, and his sword flew away from his hands as he was forcefully sent backward in an instant.
Tang Yin then rushed at him forcefully again and swung his spear as if he wanted to cut off his head, but stopped a few inches away from his neck as spiritual energy struck him forcefully from the front.
"Once I'm in a bet, I'll give my all to finish the fights quickly. I wasn't giving my all before because to keep your pride for your spectators." Tang Yin said with a smile.
His voice wasn't very loud, so only the two of them knew what he had said, and this left Zhi Hong a bit stunned, still...
Soon after, the two left the arena, while a small notification came to Tang Yin.
