Chapter 302: Zi Ruo Ying Defeats Xu Yun
He was kicked away...
Long Qi didn't react until he fell to the ground for a long time. He really couldn't believe that he was kicked away without any preparation. It was simply unbelievable.
Just now he was thinking about killing everyone, but now he has lost the battle in less than half a cup of tea, and he lost to such a weak boy. This... this...
This is too embarrassing...
Long Qi didn't know what to do for a moment. He lay on the ground, neither getting up nor getting up. He felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground. Fortunately, Xinyi walked over to him and helped him up, preventing him from being too embarrassed.
Lingxiang didn't show any expression, neither disappointed nor angry. She just stood there in deep thought, as if she was thinking of a countermeasure, or pondering something, with a frown on her face and no words.
In fact, Lingxiang's mind at this moment was not on Long Qi at all, nor even on this competition. She glanced at the sun and calculated that Luo Li's eternal lamp should be almost done.
Just at this moment, Cheng Yu stepped forward and bowed, interrupting Lingxiang's thoughts. Lingxiang then remembered that now was not the time to be distracted.
Lingxiang waved her hand and Cheng Qi turned and left. When he met Long Qi, he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, but this made Long Qi even more unhappy.
When Lingxiang came closer, Long Qi hesitated and didn't know what to say, but Lingxiang waved her hand.
"It's not your fault, it's also my fault for not thinking it through."
Lingxiang certainly thought so. After all, Xuyun Sleeping Zen was no ordinary technique, let alone one that no one in Yuanqing had practiced. It was natural to be at a loss when encountering something strange, and losing was understandable. Even she hadn't expected the Supreme Sect to teach such a technique to its disciples, but...
"But even so, you were also wrong. If you hadn't underestimated the enemy and attacked rashly without checking their strength, you wouldn't have ended up in such a mess. Impulsive actions are prone to disaster, so remember this."
Previously, Lingxiang had been unable to find a reason to dampen Long Qi's enthusiasm. Now is a good opportunity. If she brings it up now, it will not be difficult for him to accept any setbacks in the future.
After hearing this, Long Qi stopped hesitating to speak, and it was unclear whether he had heard Lingxiang's words or not.
The Supreme Sect's victory was met with a wave of applause, which continued even after Cheng Qi entered the stage. Compared to the Supreme Sect, the Yuanqing sect was somewhat miserable, with everyone hanging their heads in dejection, like defeated roosters.
However, although morale was low, Cheng Yu did not seem to be affected. He walked onto the stage with his head held high and looked very imposing.
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang smiled. She was right about Cheng Qi.
Lingxiang had considered this point when she chose not to use Liu Xia. She knew Liu Xia was straightforward and easily swayed by his emotions. If he encountered something like this, he would likely be devastated. Cheng Yu, on the other hand, was different. He had been accustomed to the battles of the martial arts world since childhood, and his character had long been strong. Winning or losing, to him, was just another battle.
I have to say that Master Zhao Mingzheng's view of people is truly vicious.
Lingxiang had admired Chengqi from the beginning. He was resolute and resolute, with a calm mind. His only flaw was his excessive concern for right and wrong. Fortunately, he was open-minded and willing to consider what others said. After listening to Lingxiang's advice, his views changed.
Although she didn't know Cheng Yu's current Daoist rank, Ling Xiang was certain he could win this match. After all, martial arts competitions didn't involve techniques, spells, or formations, and cultivation wasn't important. Cheng Yu always had his own way of dealing with enemies, never dragging his feet. No matter how powerful Bai Qing was at imitating him, he wouldn't stand a chance.
Long Qi felt a little bit unconvinced, but losing was a loss; that was an indisputable fact. Seeing his dejected expression, Lingxiang consoled him, saying, "Don't dwell on the temporary win or loss of a match. Winning and losing are common in the military. What matters isn't why you lost, but what you gained from it."
Lingxiang was speaking with all her heart, and this was all she could say. She hoped that Long Qi could understand her intention.
Seeing Bai Qing win the first game, Hui Yan was very proud and waited for the disciples of Tai Shang Sect to stop cheering before calling for the second game.
Cheng Yu was tall and had a rough appearance, with a sturdy body. Many people who saw him thought he was a heroic and unrestrained person, and the disciples of the Tai Shang Sect in the audience also thought so.
But it is a pity that a child who grew up on the edge of a knife is actually the most careful and calm in dealing with people. Otherwise, how could he survive to this day?
Just when the people of the Tai Shang Sect thought that Cheng Yu was also an impulsive person, they saw Cheng Yu sitting on the ground on the stage, facing Bai Qing, with his eyes slightly closed, pinching his hands and reciting the Qingxin Jue.
As Cheng Yu chanted the Heart Purification Technique, everyone in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment, especially the people from the Supreme Sect, who were discussing the matter a lot.
Faced with Cheng Yu's move, Bai Qing was stunned at first, and then he returned to normal, looking half asleep again, and suddenly lay down on the martial arts stage.
The two of them were completely motionless, and if it weren't for the discussions in the audience, it would have been as if time had stood still.
"This... isn't quite against the rules..." Hui Yan stood up and bowed, then said to Lingxiang with an embarrassed look on his face.
"How is it against the rules?" Lingxiang smiled, cracking pine seeds, as if it was a matter of course. "We made it clear before the competition that you can't use spells or talismans during a martial arts competition, but we didn't say you can't recite spells."
After hearing this, Hui Yan was unable to refute for a moment.
Lingxiang looked towards the martial arts arena with joy, and exclaimed in her heart - Cheng Qi is competing with Bai Qing in patience!
Although Xuyun's Sleeping Zen technique was extremely strange, it had a fatal flaw: it required the opponent to strike first before the opponent could hide behind them. Cheng Yu saw through this, which was why he did this.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will wait for an opportunity to move.
This was a good match. Until the sunset, the two of them were still one sitting and reciting the Qingxin Jue, while the other was lying on the martial arts stage, and neither of them made the first move.
How long do we have to wait for this?
Hui Yan didn't know what to do for a moment, but he found that Lingxiang had already fallen asleep with her head propped up. He quickly reminded her, "It's not very proper for your disciples to respond to the enemy so passively..."
"It's against the rules?" Lingxiang's hand that was supporting her head slipped, and she suddenly came to her senses. "It's just a strategy to deal with the enemy, how is it against the rules? Besides, you said that my Yuanqing disciples were passive in dealing with the enemy, then what about your Taishang Sect?" She asked Xiang Huiyan with curiosity:
"I'm really confused. The Yuanqing disciple on the stage sat upright, reciting the Qingxin Jue without stopping, while the Taishang Sect disciple slept the entire time. Who are you talking about? At least we were talking, but the one from your Taishang Sect was the one who was really talking!"
"this……"
If you really want to say so, it does make sense, but why does Huiyan always feel that Lingxiang had planned this in advance?
