Chapter 13: Wang Bing Falls Flat! The Bristling Crowd
Lu Linglong's words clearly indicated that Lu Jin had also evaluated Wang Ai in front of her.
However, the two of them did not discuss Wang Ai much further.
The sparring between the juniors began quite quickly.
It wasn't all that formal; it was actually a voluntary challenge system.
With loose rules, anyone who wanted to show off their skills could just go up and try.
Then, they would pick their desired opponent; if the other party agreed, they would have a match, and if not, they would switch to someone else.
It was just such a loose set of rules.
However, the sparring matches were still considered quite serious.
"It's that Nezha from the Fire Virtue Sect."
Lu Linglong, sitting beside Lin Xuan, suddenly raised her hand and pointed.
Hong Bin, who had approached Lin Xuan earlier, went up on stage.
After he unleashed a ball of flame, he cupped his hands toward the four directions.
"I am Hong Bin of the Fire Virtue Sect."
"Little Fire God, who do you want to challenge?"
After Hong Bin introduced himself, he suddenly stalled, and it was a good while before a voice sounded from below.
"Uh, haven't thought about it yet!"
Hong Bin scratched his head.
This answer caused a burst of laughter among the crowd.
A group of young people were overjoyed.
Hong Bin wasn't annoyed either, just scratching his head and grinning foolishly.
Another person also from the Fire Virtue Sect, Hong Bin's senior brother, was currently speechless, clutching his forehead and looking at the sky.
What a disaster.
"Junior brother Wang Ergou, here to learn from the Little Fire God's brilliant techniques!"
Wang Ergou jumped out directly.
Lin Xuan was stunned, then raised an eyebrow.
"Did you arrange this?"
Lin Xuan asked.
Lu Linglong looked blank, shook her head, and then nodded again.
"Maybe my brother arranged it; after all, since it's at my house, it wouldn't be right to just let people stand there like that."
Lu Linglong guessed.
"This is not bad either."
Wang Ergou's ability was indeed peculiar, but Hong Bin's methods were more explosive and seemed to somewhat counter Wang Ergou's ability.
Or rather, Hong Bin's fire-controlling ability was equivalent to a high-offense, low-defense berserker, and it might also be susceptible to crowd control.
The weaknesses were obvious, but if one couldn't deal with those weaknesses, it would truly be difficult.
After conceding, Wang Ergou didn't seem to care at all.
Hong Bin also hurried off the stage, clearly feeling a bit awkward just now.
The arena was cleared.
A group of young people looked at each other.
It seemed no one had the intention to go up voluntarily anymore.
That was to be expected; those who were more restless had already gone up to spar in the first wave.
Although there was no limit on consecutive sparring, everyone knew to stop when it was appropriate.
Not only was it like that during the fight, but it was also like that when stepping onto the stage to spar.
"What's the situation? No one is going up, right? If you don't go up, we're going to start picking people."
The group of seniors sitting in their area were watching happily when suddenly there was no movement.
Lv Ci's loud voice rang out immediately.
A group of young men and women were suddenly in a bit of a stir.
"Since no one is going up, then I will."
The person who spoke stood up and walked to the center of the arena; he had yellow hair and a somewhat arrogant expression.
But fortunately, knowing this was the place, he restrained his demeanor quite a bit.
"I am Wang Bing of the Wang Family, and I also want to witness everyone's methods."
"People from the Wang Family!"
"One of the Four Great Families, the Wang Family; it probably won't be ordinary."
The Wang Family's reputation was not weak, especially since one of the Ten Elders was currently the head of the Wang Family.
"No one coming up? Then I will have to choose an opponent; I hope those chosen won't refuse."
Wang Bing said, turning his head to look around.
The surroundings suddenly quieted down, wanting to see who this Wang Bing of the Wang Family intended to challenge.
And Wang Bing clearly had a target from the start; his eyes shifted, and then he saw Lin Xuan sitting at a table with Lu Linglong behind the crowd.
"The Daoist expert from Baiyun Guan, Daoist Lu Xuan, right? Please, enlighten me."
Wang Bing said with a cupped-hand salute.
As soon as Wang Bing said this, before the onlookers among the juniors could react, the area where the group of seniors were sitting went quiet.
Na Ruhu and Feng Zhenghao remained silent.
Lv Ci and the others also looked toward Wang Ai, and naturally, they also looked toward Fang Dongtian.
Lin Xuan said he did not want to make a move, yet this Wang Bing still insisted on challenging him.
This is looking for trouble.
Will Fang Dongtian lose his temper?
But Fang Dongtian had no reaction; under the gaze of the crowd, he glanced at Wang Ai and sighed.
"To be honest, I was relieved that this child didn't want to make a move; not to mention his own cultivation, his innate ability is quite exaggerated. If your descendant here doesn't have any bad intentions, then so be it.
If his intentions are impure, then he is likely going to suffer."
Innate Ability.
Hearing Fang Dongtian's words, the group of people all felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
Innate Abilities are diverse, and as for what specific effects they have, they are all sorts of things; no one can figure them out.
But Fang Dong, this Lin Xuan's Innate Ability is likely not simple.
Could it be that it is the very precious kind?
If that is truly the case, then it is normal for him to be treated as a treasure.
A group of seniors thought this, their gazes looking downward, all focused on Lin Xuan.
According to his previous thoughts, he shouldn't want to make a move, would he refuse?
"You little fatty, I'll come and meet you..."
Lu Linglong naturally also knew that Lin Xuan did not want to spar, and at this moment, hearing Wang Bing call him out, she slapped the table and was about to stand up.
"Alright, Junior Sister, I really don't want to make a move, otherwise it would probably count as bullying you all, but since you want to try, then let's try."
Lin Xuan spoke, then stood up.
The onlookers turned their heads to look at Lin Xuan.
"Big Brother, go for it, beat that little fatty to the ground."
Below, Hong Bin, who was cosplaying Nezha, cupped his hands into a megaphone and shouted.
"Yeah, Big Brother, beat him."
Seeing this, Wang Ergou immediately followed suit.
Flattery, one cannot let others steal the spotlight.
Lin Xuan made an OK gesture, then looked at Wang Bing.
Clearly, the two shouts from Hong Bin and Wang Ergou just now made Wang Bing, who had not yet succeeded in losing weight, somewhat angry.
If it were any other time, he probably would have already erupted.
But now there were so many people here, even the arrogant Wang Bing knew some sense of propriety and did not start a blanket attack.
He looked at Lin Xuan.
"Make your move!"
Lin Xuan flicked his wide sleeves and crooked his finger.
Wang Bing's face darkened, a mass of Qi surged out to wrap around his body, and he charged directly toward Lin Xuan.
The onlookers were instantly stunned.
This kid, is there something wrong with him?
What kind of move is this?
Street fighting?
Wang Bing was calculating clearly in his heart; what he was naturally good at was the Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching, but there was no need to use it right now. He would wait until he got close to suddenly unleash it and defeat his opponent in one blow.
Only then could he vent this foul breath.
With his plan set in his heart, Wang Bing put force into his feet, and his speed increased by a few points.
Then, he tripped over his own feet, his left foot catching his right foot.
Before the triumphant smile on Wang Bing's face could appear, it turned into terror.
Then, under the gaze of everyone's stunned eyes, he fell face-first, crashing hard onto the ground.
His face collided solidly with the marble floor.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Just hearing the sound made many people twitch their mouths and suck in a breath through their teeth.
Just listening to it, it was very painful.
"What is this situation?"
"Tripped?"
"Can't even walk properly, yet wants to challenge someone?"
The group of people came back to their senses and were instantly speechless.
Wang Ai, sitting on the platform behind, had a dark face.
Fang Dongtian chuckled, saying nothing, his laughter making the group of people around him feel somewhat uneasy.
This scene was indeed somewhat bizarre.
