Invincible Kungfu Healer - Chapter 902

Chapter 902: Mo Wen’s Fight

Wine and Meat Monk’s failure caused the atmosphere amongst the spectators to grow tense. Who would have thought that the dark horse who had appeared half-way through the competition would be so powerful?

Xin Wuji was victorious in two consecutive matches and had defeated extremely powerful opponents who each might have been the overall champion. This caused the atmosphere in the Divine Dragon Nest to become excited.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on the first challenge ring and the young man called Xin Wuji.

Could it be that he would take first place in the Heaven List Tournament this year?

Xin Wuji smiled modestly and tried to remain calm. He tried to project the calm and strong aura that the strongest powerhouse should have. However, he had to suppress the tumultuous feelings deep within him. If he were not on the challenge ring, he would have screamed excitedly.

The Heaven List Tournament was a stage that everyone in the world was watching. He had never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that he would be able to reach this stage one day.

However, he had managed to do this not based on his abilities. Lord Familiar had been controlling his body throughout the entire battle. He did not need to worry about anything. However, no one knew of the Day Scorpion Familiar except for him, Xin Wuji.

“That lad is a little difficult to deal with.” As he watched the two matches, Mo Wen’s expression was solemn. He had a slight understanding of Xin Wuji. In terms of cultivation depth, no competitor was his match. He was very close to becoming an ultimate warrior.

Of course, having a cultivation level close to that of ultimate warriors did not mean that one had the ability of an ultimate warrior.

In fact, ultimate warriors were strong not because of their cultivation but because of their understanding of the martial arts realms and the esoteric rules of heaven and earth. All ultimate warriors had to understand the path of profundity. That was the lowest requirement.

Some of the more powerful ultimate warriors were not only martial arts grandmasters, but they also understood the fledging stage of profound meaning. Some of them even understood several fledging stages of profound meaning. Ultimate warriors of this kind could be said to be like immortals.

Wine and Meat Monk had lost the battle. Water Deity knew that the chances of her winning were extremely small. However, no matter what, since she was already here, she had to give it a try. It was unlike her to give up fighting for first place.

Whoosh!

The third challenger, Water Deity!

“Miss Water Deity, please.”

Xin Wuji gestured in a gentlemanly manner. Even though he had already fought two battles back to back, it did not have a large impact on him. That was because the Day Scorpion Familiar’s powers were limitless. A battle of this intensity had a negligible effect on the Day Scorpion Familiar.

“Please.”

Water Deity put her hands together politely and then disappeared from where she was standing. Then, the entire challenge ring was enveloped in a layer of mist. Illusionary figures darted through the mist.

The figures were very strong visual disruptions. Together with Water Deity’s ability to control water, it made it difficult for her opponent to figure out which figure was real and which wasn’t.

Water Deity’s strength was in her technique. In terms of power, she was much weaker than Wine and Meat Monk. However, due to her exquisite technique, even Wine and Meat Monk did not dare to take her lightly.

Of all the competitors, Water Deity was the best at defense. Water figures and mists layered upon each other thickly as Water Deity hid in the mist appearing only fleetingly.

Against such an opponent, Xin Wuji found it difficult to focus all his strength.

Soon, the battle was at a surprising stalemate. It had dragged on for longer than both Wine and Meat Monk and Dark Hand’s battles combined.

Water Deity, who was well versed in defense, was proving to be a headache for Xin Wuji. Even though he was possessed by the Day Scorpion Familiar, the amount of power that could be channeled through his body was limited. He was unable to use his powers to completely defeat Water Deity even if he wanted to.

However, as time dragged on, Water Deity seemed to gradually fall behind. After all, no matter how careful one was, there was still a possibility that they might slip up. There was no impenetrable defense in the world. When Water Deity’s powers could no longer pose a threat to Xin Wuji, then she would have already lost her chances of winning. Her defeat was just a matter of time.

“I admit defeat.”

The battle lasted for half an hour when Water Deity suddenly withdrew from the challenge ring and admitted defeat. Her figure shimmered, and she returned to the third challenge ring. The long battle had taken up almost half of her inner Qi. If she continued the battle, it would have a great impact on her.

…

“Senior has lost.”

Somewhere in the Divine Dragon Nest, a girl wearing a white dress sighed softly. She was extremely beautiful and was lithe and buxom. She was like a ripe peach. She was none other than Lin Qing, who had been missing for some time.

There were more than ten other girls wearing white dresses by her side. The style of their clothes was the same, and one could identify in a glance that they were from the same sect.

This was where the Goddess Cult was standing.

The girls all looked very young, and each had their own unique characteristics. When they gathered together, they looked like blooming flowers and fought to shine.

“Qing’er, that young man is not simple. Your senior did not lose without putting up a fight. I fear that even I would have to use some tricks to defeat him.”

Beside Lin Qing stood a beautiful woman. She did not seem old and appeared gracious. She felt as if she was not of this world. She was Lin Qing’s mistress! Even though the woman looked young, her eyes, unlike the eyes of a young person, showed that she had been through plenty.

There was an odd phenomenon in the Goddess Cult. The higher one’s cultivation, the younger one appeared. It did not mean that they were young. In actual fact, Lin Qing’s mistress was more than 100 years old. She was old enough to be Mo Wen’s grandmother.

The more one cultivated in the Goddess Technique, the more difficult it was to age. It was said that the most powerful elder in the Goddess Sect looked like a teenage girl.

“That Xin Wuji is so powerful. He will probably take first place in this year’s Heaven List Tournament.”

Lin Qing had not expected that it would be difficult for her mistress to deal with Xin Wuji. This was more shocking to her than her senior being defeated. After all, her mistress was almost an infinite powerhouse.

“It is difficult to say. No one knows what the results will be until the end. Furthermore, have you not discovered that your senior fought with Xin Wuji for more than half an hour even though she knew that she would not be able to defeat him? It is obvious that she is trying to waste Xin Wuji’s inner Qi. Why did she do that?”

Lin Qing’s mistress, Chu Yunli, glanced at Lin Qing with a meaningful look in her eyes.

“Could it be…” Lin Qing was shocked. “Senior is helping someone else?”

Lin Qing was a successful businesswoman and naturally thought of the reason behind this immediately. Her senior knew that she would not be able to defeat Xin Wuji, but she had still battled him for so long. It was obviously not for herself but to pave the way for the person behind her.

However, who was worth her senior’s help? How did her senior know that the person would definitely challenge Xin Wuji? After all, Xin Wuji had defeated the top three talents of the hidden martial arts stream one after another. Even if the other competitors wanted to challenge him, they would have to weigh up their abilities and their chances.

The half an hour battle definitely had taken out a lot of Senior Water Deity. This would certainly affect her next fight.

…

Water Deity returned to her challenge ring and sat down quietly with her legs crossed.

Challenge ring one, where the most intense battle had been, had quietened down. No one approached the ring to challenge at that moment.

Xin Wuji stood on challenge ring one feeling as if he were on top of the world. This feeling of being undefeatable was truly amazing. He swept his gaze on the other competitors somewhat challengingly and said arrogantly, “Is there anyone else who dares to come and fight me?”

He had defeated the three top talents of the hidden martial arts stream. He had the right to speak like that.

Mo Qingtian, who had been chatting with Mo Qingge, suddenly paused and looked at the challenge ring. She said lightly, “Those three people were all defeated. Even if there was a variable in there, they were unexceptional. No one could defeat him.” A flash of disappointment appeared in Mo Qingtian’s eyes. The martial arts circle convention this time was different from the previous ones because they wanted to attract the top talents of the hidden martial arts stream. However, it currently did not look like it was working. Not a single one of the most powerful talents of the hidden martial arts stream had appeared.

Otherwise, how would a person who dared to cheat at the Heaven List Tournament dare to behave so arrogantly?

Lord Genta must have never imagined that the careful plan his family set up had already been exposed.

Indeed, the Day Scorpion Familiar had amazing concealment techniques. He hid within Xin Wuji and ordinary Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators were unable to discover him. The judge, who was an immortal, had not noticed anything odd about Xin Wuji either.

However, they did not expect that Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian, the assistant head senator of the Senate, would be present.

Mo Qingtian and Mo Qingge immediately noticed the problem with Xin Wuji. However, they did not expose him immediately. They wanted to take the opportunity to evaluate the other competitors.

“Since there is no one who can defeat Xin Wuji, then there is no need for him to exist any longer. Hmph, how dare he cheat at the Heaven List Tournament. He must be tired of living.”

A cold glint appeared in Mo Qingtian’s eyes. Even though he was disappointed, he could not allow the cheater to take first place.

“Wait a little longer.” Mo Qingge shook her head and stopped Mo Qingtian.

“Hmm?” Mo Qingtian looked at his elder sister oddly.

“Perhaps there will be someone else who will challenge for first place.” Mo Qingge glanced at challenge ring number six. It was where Mo Wen was.

“Elder sister, you don’t think Mo Wen…” Mo Qingtian looked at his elder sister in disbelief. Even though Mo Wen’s performance had shown that he was powerful, he was weaker than Water Deity and Wine and Meat Monk. It was almost impossible for him to defeat Xin Wuji.

Mo Wen’s current performance was already very outstanding. After all, he was only 20 years old. He was the youngest among all the competitors. If he was given a bit of time, he would definitely be able to outstrip the others.

“No matter whether he wins or not in the end, I know that he will definitely get onto that challenge ring,” Mo Qingge said lightly.

Mo Qingtian did not say anything else but looked down silently.

…

After Xin Wuji defeated the Water Deity, the challenge ring fell silent momentarily. Some of those who had originally intended to give it a try all gave up. It was because Xin Wuji was too strong, and no one was willing to take the risk if they did not have any hope of winning at all.

Suddenly, Gu Jingman, who had been playing with her hair with her head down looked at Mo Wen. A charming smile appeared on her lips.

At the same time, Water Deity looked at Mo Wen as well. However, her eyes were very calm.

“Why are you looking at me?” Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gu Jingman.

“Younger brother, aren’t you very ambitious? Isn’t your goal to take first place? Why are you terrified now? If you don’t go up, I shan’t hold back.”

Gu Jingman winked, looking as if she would go up to the challenge ring if Mo Wen did not.

“It sounds as if you can win if you go up. When did I say I wasn’t going?”

Mo Wen stood up and then nodded slightly to Water Deity. When Water Deity looked at him, he understood that she had dragged the battle on intentionally to waste Xin Wuji’s inner Qi. She hoped that he would be able to defeat Xin Wuji.

However, based on the current situation, it seemed that Water Deity wasting Xin Wuji’s inner Qi did not have much effect. Xin Wuji’s inner Qi was still plentiful.
