Chapter 147: Zhang Lingyu, Who Won by Lying Down, It's Over!

~8 min read 1,442 words

Automatic pursuit!

Zhang Lingyu dodged the incoming electric arcs, but those arcs seemed to have locked onto him.

No matter how he dodged, the electric arcs were able to catch up.

Even if one is fast and dodges in advance, can one be faster than lightning?

Boom!

A muffled peal of thunder exploded in the sky.

Above the competition arena, dark clouds had gathered, though no one knew when.

Again?

This was the first thought of everyone who looked up and saw this scene.

The people on the Ten Elders' side subconsciously looked toward Lin Xuan.

Noticing these gazes, Lin Xuan spread his hands.

"Why look at me? This time it isn't me!"

After saying this, Lin Xuan's gaze fell upon Zhang Lingyu, whose body was bright with lightning.

At this moment, the lightning on Zhang Lingyu's body was brighter than at any time before.

His entire person was enveloped in lightning, and his figure could no longer be seen clearly.

"When the Five Thunders Orthodox Method is practiced to a profound level, one can command the lightning of Nature to injure the enemy."

Lu Jin stared wide-eyed at Zhang Lingyu in the arena.

Afterward, he looked toward Lao Tianshi.

And Lao Tianshi's expression was clearly also shocked by this scene.

Although he had only just touched the edge of it, it was indeed the next stage of lightning cultivation.

Below, Zhang Chulan watched helplessly as the electric arcs landing on Zhang Lingyu were shattered and vanished.

Feeling the powerful aura on Zhang Lingyu, Zhang Chulan's expression turned grave.

He had already exhausted all his methods just now.

But he hadn't expected that this Little Martial Uncle had actually been hiding his strength.

Just from this scene alone, he had no chance of winning.

Zhang Chulan, who was skilled at calculating, realized he had no chance of winning and raised his hand.

"I surren—"

Before he could finish his words, the lightning on the floating Zhang Lingyu converged, and then he fell straight down, lying on the ground motionless.

Huh!

Zhang Chulan stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

The people in the stands were also stunned by this scene.

What is going on?

Just as he was about to unleash his power, how did the situation suddenly reverse?

Rong Shan flew down, crouched, and checked Zhang Lingyu's condition.

Then he stood up, his expression somewhat complex.

"Zhang Chulan wins!"

Rong Shan announced.

With Rong Shan's announcement, this marked the end of the Heaven Grand Ritual.

Yet this result left people feeling somewhat confused.

Although Zhang Chulan's strength shocked many, the exchange just now clearly had Zhang Lingyu with the upper hand, so how did he suddenly lose?

Did he throw the match again?

But Zhang Lingyu's state didn't look like it.

"Lingyu Zhenren felt it himself, so he wanted to try, and as a result, his kidneys... his body became overdrawn!"

Lin Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said with some amusement.

"He didn't know his own limits, but it shouldn't be anything serious!"

Lao Tianshi nodded upon hearing this.

After all, Rong Shan didn't look anxious after going down to check, so it must be physical exhaustion; he just needs to rest for a while.

However, he has made new progress in commanding lightning.

Lao Tianshi was very satisfied with this point.

Regarding the words between Lao Tianshi and Lin Xuan, Lao Tianshi had someone announce them directly.

"So that's how it is."

The stands, which had been somewhat chaotic, quieted down quite a bit.

To a certain extent, Zhang Chulan had won by lying down again.

But this time, Zhang Chulan had displayed his own strength.

No one cursed him anymore.

However, this title could no longer be removed.

Of course, some people felt it was a pity that Zhang Lingyu lost.

But having one's body overdrawn during a fight is also part of the battle.

People in the other stands were discussing it heatedly.

But on the main stand, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy and oppressive.

The Heaven Grand Ritual has ended.

However, there is still one more important matter.

Several of the other Ten Elders turned their heads to look at Lin Xuan and the Tianshi.

"Your matter will have to wait a little longer!"

Lin Xuan naturally noticed the gazes of the others, and without pretending not to know, he turned his head and said to him.

"That's true, the juniors have finished fighting, it's time for this old Daoist to stretch his limbs!"

"What about the location?"

Lin Xuan spoke again.

"That is indeed a troublesome matter; let's go to the northwest, either the desert or the grasslands."

The Tianshi pondered for a moment.

"Then let's make it the grasslands, so no one can say I'm bullying an old man!"

Lin Xuan said with a calm expression.

"The kid's tone is certainly not small."

Lao Tianshi was taken aback upon hearing this, then laughed.

The desert climate is dry, and for his Lightning Method to drive the lightning in the sky, it would not be easy.

Simply manipulating the Lightning Method to gather thunderclouds is a troublesome task.

"I will send someone to take the two of you there."

Feng Zhenghao spoke directly.

"Then I will trouble you, President Feng!"

Lin Xuan did not refuse upon hearing this.

He could indeed arrive very quickly by using Zongdi Golden Light, but the others could not.

"Tianshi, can we go to watch the battle?"

Lu Jin rubbed his hands together.

"You all? If you aren't afraid of being caught in the crossfire, then go."

Lao Tianshi did not refuse, and subsequently, the others looked at Lin Xuan.

"It makes no difference to me."

As Lin Xuan said this, he looked at Fang Dongtian.

"After the matter is finished, you should rest easy and go into seclusion."

"Very well, this old Daoist will listen to your arrangements!"

Fang Dongtian naturally would not refuse.

Lao Tianshi stood up directly and pushed Tian Jinzhong away.

Lu Jin and the others also stood up and followed.

Zhang Chulan retreated from the scene together with Zhang Lingyu.

What follows next is their own business.

"This time, stop at the point of contact; don't truly injure anyone."

Fang Dongtian stood up with his hands behind his back, ready to leave, then turned his head and said to Lin Xuan.

"Look at what you're saying; perhaps I might be the one to lose!"

"If that were truly the case, it would be fine; if you win, our Baiyun Guan will be quite lively afterward."

Fang Dongtian smiled upon hearing this and left directly.

Lively?

Lin Xuan naturally understood Fang Dongtian's meaning.

What does One Supreme mean?

The strongest.

If the strongest is defeated, then this title will fall upon him.

But if that happens, it is equivalent to being a beacon in the world of the Outsider.

By then, all sorts of matters will likely come knocking at the door.

"Senior Brother, are you really going to fight the Tianshi?"

Huang Ming leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Mm!"

"Then I want to go and watch too!"

Huang Ming looked excited.

"Senior Brother Liu, you take Huang Ming back to our Baiyun Guan!"

"Mm!"

Liu Xingyang nodded.

"No, Senior Brother, I really want to watch!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ming hurriedly requested again.

"Watch what? This time, no one is allowed to watch; not even the Grandmaster or the Ten Elders."

Lin Xuan touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said directly.

If no one sees it, then there is no result.

Hearing Lin Xuan say this, Huang Ming immediately wilted.

On the side stands, Xu San and Xu Si, who had breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the result, watched Lao Tianshi and the group of Ten Elders depart, then looked toward Lin Xuan, who had not left.

"The main event is what comes next; did the Company give any instructions?"

Xu Si asked.

"You are the one in charge!"

Xu San frowned upon hearing this.

"I know, but aren't you the one communicating with Zhao Zong? What did Zhao Zong say?"

"What else could they say? There's no result yet; Zhao Zong contacted Lao Tianshi, but didn't succeed in stopping it either. Small fry like us should just watch."

Xu San shook his head.

"True, with a matter this big, it's not our place to worry about it anyway; better to just do our own jobs!"

As he spoke, Xu Si stood up.

"Baobao, let's go!"

"Oh!"

Feng Baobao stood up and followed upon hearing this, seemingly unconcerned with the conversation the two had just had.
