Chapter 123

After the attack, the little fire horse ran around the field once more!

"Looks like you're not planning to stop!"

Student Huo Yan said smugly, "That's right, if you've got the guts, come attack me!"

Bai Jing crossed his arms over his chest. "Fine, then let's just drag this out!"

"Huh? You're not attacking?"

Bai Jing looked at him as if he were Bai Chi, then asked, "Why would I attack? You want to drag it out, I'll keep you company!"

"It's fine by me anyway. If you don't mind, we could go off to the side, have some tea and chat!"

Huo Yan looked at the little fire horse running nonstop in the field, then glanced at the twin scabbards leisurely floating in the air…

"Holy crap! That's not fair to me!"

Yes, the little fire horse would eventually tire itself to death!

But are you Bai Chi? Only just realizing that now?

"Ahem~ Bai Jing, what kind of talk is dragging this out? Come on, let's have a real clash!"

"Look, the little fire horse has even stopped!"

"No, I think this is pretty good!"

"You… shameless! You actually launched a sneak attack!"

Yes, while Bai Jing's mouth said no, the shadow on the ground had already stretched to the little fire horse's feet.

Huo Yan realized too late. The black sword slashed fiercely into the little fire horse, knocking it to the ground, and the twin scabbards flew over and hacked down in fury!

"Dammit, got careless!"

"Little fire horse, attack!"

The little fire horse scrambled up, leaped into the air, and unleashed its signature combo once more: high-speed movement plus charging flame strike.

Slash met charge. The twin scabbards were sent flying back, and the little fire horse crashed to the ground, its legs a little wobbly.

Huo Yan exclaimed, "These twin scabbards hit so hard, even my combo couldn't take it!"

"Little fire horse, keep running!"

Bai Jing was utterly speechless. "Is that the only move you know?"

"That's right, this is the only move I know!"

He actually admitted it!

This is why it's better to master one thing than to dabble in many!

Bai Jing directed the lone scabbard up into midair.

"Metal Sound!"

Waves of noise rang out, making Huo Yan frown deeply!

No good, at this rate the moment the little fire horse is forced to stop is the moment it gets hit!

He measured the distance. It would work!

"Little fire horse, attack!"

The little fire horse leaped up once more, launching another combo straight at the lone scabbard in midair.

Bai Jing's mouth curved up. "You fell for it!"

"Swallow Return!"

"Oh no!"

The little fire horse charged at nothing, only to be struck on its rump by the twin scabbards spinning back around. It whinnied in pain!

"Little fire horse, seize the moment and use Flame Wheel!"

The little fire horse transformed into a spinning wheel of fire in midair. After half a rotation it slammed into the lone scabbard, sending it flying, but the little fire horse itself began to fall.

"Hey~ didn't you say you only knew one move?"

"Yeah, I only practiced the combo. Flame Wheel is something the little fire horse figured out on its own. Is it not allowed to use it?"

"Fine, you sneaky weirdo!"

In the time the two were talking, the little fire horse was already about to hit the ground.

"Hold steady, you can do it!"

"I say it can't!"

The twin scabbards suddenly burst out of a rift in space below, both blades slashing down squarely on the little fire horse's head.

That was a Phantom Sneak Strike!

The little fire horse's legs gave out the moment it landed, and it collapsed!

"Despicable, talking to me to distract me!"

"Likewise!"

"I hereby announce that Student Huo Yan and the little fire horse have failed the challenge. Student Bai Jing and the twin scabbards have achieved their ninth victory!"

Warm applause rang out!

Although Huo Yan's personality is a bit goofy, his performance was commendable. At least he traded blows evenly with Bai Jing and landed several hits on the twin scabbards. He was already the best performer of the whole match!

"The defeat was expected, because your twin scabbards are just too powerful. But a battle has to be fierce and thrilling!"

"I'm off. Good luck winning your last match and claiming that champion spirit!"

"Then I'll take your good wishes!"

Only the final match remains. Now is the true moment when all eyes are upon them!

Who will that last spot choose?

The screen froze, displaying a name!

"It's actually him!"

"The champion's son!"

"This opponent is strong, and he's the Steel attribute — neither side has the advantage!"

"The last match is full of suspense again!"

"Tenth match — Jin Hongyu challenges Bai Jing!"

Jin Hongyu strode into the arena brimming with confidence. Finally it's my turn to shine!

At this moment he couldn't help but feel grateful to Student Huo Yan, who had worn down a good deal of the Twin Sword Sheath's stamina for him!

I can win — I definitely can win!

"Bai Jing, your legend ends with me! From now on, when you see me, call me 'sir' like a good boy!"

"Ehh~ what is it, good grandson? Grandpa doesn't have any candy to give you!"

The crowd burst into laughter!

Jin Hongyu's face darkened; he could have slapped himself twice!

Knowing full well the other had a sharp tongue, why had he gotten carried away and provoked him?

"Hmph! Flapping your gums is useless — let's settle this once and for all!"
