BXBX NOVEL Chapter 475: 475: Liu Wuyin
It was almost as if Fang Lin had swept away a nation’s talent with a single strike.
Especially after his battle with Chen Wu, the strength Fang Lin demonstrated left no room for anyone present to doubt him.
No one saw Chen Wu as weak. On the contrary, Chen Wu was considered one of the strongest performers in the competition among the three nations. Many had backed him before the competition began, seeing him as a prodigy on par with Zhao Shenji and Yang Xuanfeng.
But who would have thought? Qian Country had another monster like Fang Lin hidden up their sleeve. He beat not just two prodigies from Meng Kingdom, but also Chen Wu. After this battle, Fang Lin’s name was set to echo across the Lower Three Kingdoms once again.
Moreover, this time it was his Martial Arts prowess that took the spotlight, not his skill in Pill Refining as in the previous competition.
“I originally thought Yun Country was the strongest in this competition among the three nations, but it seems that’s not the case.”
“I completely guessed wrong too. I thought Meng Kingdom would have a brilliant performance this time, but who knew they would be so rubbish.”
“Qian Country really played their cards close to their chest this time.”
“Fang Lin’s skills in Pill Refining are so impressive, and his Martial Arts is just as strong. He’s truly freakish.”
“A genius in Alchemy and Martial Arts, this guy is quite terrifying.”
“Don’t forget, Qian Country still has one person who has yet to show themselves.”
“Yeah, with just two people, Qian Country has already caused such devastation to Yun Country and Meng Kingdom. Wouldn’t the third person hidden be their ace card?”
“Very likely.”
···
The many martial artists observing the battle were engaged in lively discussions. They marveled at the strength Qian Country demonstrated, especially the shocking power Fang Lin showed.
A genius, exceptionally gifted in both Alchemy and Martial Arts – just how far will his future prospects be? No one could imagine. It seemed that in the Lower Three Kingdoms, such a figure hadn’t appeared for a very long time. People still couldn’t quite grasp whether Fang Lin was a Pill Refiner or a Martial Artist.
Of course, the competition among the three nations was not over. Yun Country still had two prodigies who had not made a move, and Qian Country still had one person who had not appeared. Who could say whether Qian Country would have the last laugh, or Yun Country would rise to the top.
However, in the eyes of most people, among the two remaining prodigies from Yun Country, Zhao Shenji’s power was certainly worth noting.
In the period before the start of the competition among the three nations, many people were discussing who was the top Martial Arts prodigy of the Lower Three Kingdoms.
Quite a few talented martial artists were mentioned, but the one who was mentioned most often, and with least dispute, was definitely Zhao Shenji.
There was no other reason. Zhao Shenji had once sparred with Chen Wu, and Chen Wu lost.
Although that match was a year ago, and Chen Wu had become much stronger, Zhao Shenji had also become stronger, and moreover, he hadn’t made a move since then. Even those in the Yun Imperial family had very little idea of Zhao Shenji’s current strength.
At this point, although Chen Wu had lost to Fang Lin, Yun Country still had Zhao Shenji who hadn’t made a move yet, and there was also the equally inscrutable Liu Wuyin. The final outcome was anything but clear.
Fang Lin returned to his group from Qian Country, he sat on the ground, weary. He had used up all his energy in the battle against Chen Wu, managing to win only with difficulty.
Of course, if it wasn’t for the help of the Millennium Corpse Ginseng, defeating Chen Wu might have been even more difficult.
The people of Qian Country were overjoyed, but they did not disturb Fang Lin and let him rest well. After all, they could see how difficult the battle with Chen Wu had been.
“Yang, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight in the next rounds.” Fang Lin said to Yang Xuanfeng.
Yang Xuanfeng nodded. Fang Lin alone had dealt with three young prodigies, including a troublesome character like Chen Wu. It wouldn’t be fair to have Fang Lin continue to fight.
“Leave the rest to me,” said Yang Xuanfeng, and then he stepped out.
Seeing Yang Xuanfeng enter the battlefield, the crowd’s spirits lifted. They all watched Yang Xuanfeng, curious to see who he would fight against next.
Zhao Shenji? Or Liu Wuyin?
In the minds of the crowd, most hoped to see Yang Xuanfeng fight with Zhao Shenji. After all, they were both Eldest Imperial Sons of their nations. If they competed, there would definitely be a fierce collision. The result of their victory or defeat would also impact the judgment of who was stronger between Qian Country and Yun Country.
Seeing Yang Xuanfeng appear, Zhao Shenji’s eyes showed a hint of fighting spirit. Although Yang Xuanfeng hadn’t yet spoken, it seemed as if he couldn’t wait to fight with Yang Xuanfeng.
Liu Wuyin, on the other hand, had a calm expression, as if he didn’t care whether Yang Xuanfeng chose him or Zhao Shenji. He seemed to be detached from the competition among the three nations.
Yang Xuanfeng then arrived in the arena. Under the gaze of countless people, he said, “Liu Wuyin, fight me.”
Whoosh!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar across the whole venue. Numerous people showed surprise on their faces, even many people from Qian Country were quite taken aback.
Yang Xuanfeng had actually chosen to challenge Liu Wuyin instead of Zhao Shenji. What was happening?
Zhao Shenji’s face turned gloomy. Yang Xuanfeng didn’t want to compete with him?
Subsequently, Liu Wuyin took a few steps back in surprise, but didn’t say much. He calmly made his way to the center of the arena.
“Liu Wuyin of Yun Country.” Liu Wuyin said calmly.
“Yang Xuanfeng of Qian Country.” Yang Xuanfeng replied, feeling a bit frustrated inside.
In Yang Xuanfeng’s heart, he really wanted to fight against Zhao Shenji. Although Zhao Shenji was very strong, Yang Xuanfeng was confident of facing him.
But since Fang Lin had said that Han Xiaoxing was about to return, and Zhao Shenji was already marked as Han Xiaoxing’s opponent, he had no choice but to challenge Liu Wuyin.
It wasn’t that Yang Xuanfeng looked down on Liu Wuyin, but compared to Zhao Shenji, no matter how one looked at it, Liu Wuyin didn’t present the same level of challenge.
“Why do you want to fight me?” Liu Wuyin asked.
The corner of Yang Xuanfeng’s mouth twitched. Was he supposed to say Zhao Shenji was reserved by someone else, and he had no choice but to fight Liu Wuyin?
“I’m just curious why you, as an Independent Martial Artist, are representing Yun Country in battle.” In the end, Yang Xuanfeng could only say this.
Liu Wuyin took a deep look at Yang Xuanfeng, as if she had seen through his disingenuous words.
Yang Xuanfeng said nothing more, and made a gesture of invitation, signifying Liu Wuyin to make the first move.
“Are you sure you want me to make the first move?” Liu Wuyin revealed a slight smile.
Yang Xuanfeng nodded.
Liu Wuyin did not speak, and the next moment, she made her move.
With her move, the expression on Yang Xuanfeng’s face changed.
Liu Wuyin’s palm attacked, the wind from her palm was sharp. Although her movements were not fast, they gave Yang Xuanfeng a feeling that there was nowhere to hide.
