Chapter 40: Which One Were You Referring To?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Mu Linghan’s name was called out, a brief silence fell in the arena.

“Who’s that? How come we’ve never heard this name before?” 

“I think it’s that trash from the Mu family who was expelled from the main family, right? I don’t know what they’re thinking. How could they let someone like that participate in the martial arts tournament?” 

“So, that’s him! Tch, it seems that the Mu family really doesn’t have anyone else for them to send out such trash!” 

Luo Xi City was not huge, and the Mu family is one of the three prominent families. A few months ago, Mu Linghan’s arrival had attracted quite a lot of attention.

But, after some time had passed, the people didn’t really remember much anymore. When they heard the name suddenly, all of them were surprised.

There were looks of understanding on some of the people’s faces, but some were also uncertain.

Mu Qinglan didn’t expect that she would be the first to compete. She raised her eyebrows, ignored the various gazes on her from the crowd, and walked towards the platform. 

She was somewhat interested in the Heavenly Tide, so when Mu Yan had asked her, she only needed to think for a moment before she agreed.

As for the spot… Well, it originally belonged to Mu Ye.

Now, it had naturally fallen into her hands.

No one in the Mu family dared to say anything about it.

Outsiders didn’t know the details, so they assumed that the Mu family didn’t have any other talented people to send out, and that’s why they sent out a cripple like Mu Linghan.

The participant from the Jiang family was a masculine, burly man. He frowned after glancing at Mu Qinglan. Then, he coldly snorted and said in disgust, “Bah! It’s just my luck to get a cripple as my opponent!”

The people next to him laughed. “Jiang Xin, you’ve saved a lot of effort! This match of yours is like advancing directly into the next round without even fighting!” 

Jiang Xin replied disdainfully, “I can easily crush a weakling like him with just a finger!” 

With that, his aura flared fiercely, and he leaped up in the air, landing on the round stage in the arena.

Although he was incredibly sturdy, he landed lightly on his feet. He seemed to have a flexible body that attracted the applause of many people when he appeared.

Mu Qinglan walked unhurriedly up the steps at the side of the stage.

Those who were watching her laughed in their hearts. To them, it looked like Mu Qinglan was scared witness. Did she think she could avoid the match if she walked slowly?

Jiang Xin looked Mu Qinglan from head to toe. In his opinion, this black-clothed youth with a slim figure was not worthy of being his opponent.

“So, you’re that cripple from the Mu family?” Jiang Xin said abruptly.

His voice was naturally loud, and his words were easily heard by over half the people in the arena.

Mu Qinglan stood still in the spot. When she heard those words, her lips curled up into a strange smile.

Cripple?

In the past few months, she had long since been accustomed to this name. But, that didn’t mean that she would endure a scoundrel’s provocation and insult!

“We’ll see who the cripple really is here…” 

Jiang Xin’s face darkened instantly!

This brat had actually dared to call him cripple!

The Jiang family had cultivated many young talents. Since there were only ten spots in the martial arts tournament, the competition to get these spots were fierce. The fact that Jiang Xin could stand in this arena was already a testament to his excellence!

“You’re really courting death!” Jiang Xin bellowed and lashed out first!

A majestic, dense yellow-colored Yuan Energy instantly wrapped around his fist and blasted out forceful!

Everyone present was nervous as they watched the fight, except for the people from the Jiang family, who looked utterly relaxed and at ease.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng nodded. “He’s already at peak Primary Yuan Realm. As long as he gets the chance, he can break through any time. Not bad.” 

He had heard rumors that Mu Linghan was not even a Novice, so he naturally wouldn’t be a match for Jiang Xin.

The crowd watched with rapt attention since it was only the first match. Moreover, both participants in this match were representatives of prominent families. It was a known fact that the Jiang and the Mu family didn’t get along, so both families’ reputations was in fact, hanging on the line.

The winner would obviously get a good end, but the loser would probably drag their family’s reputation down with them and also become ridiculed.

Jiang Xin put all his strength into this punch. He was determined to defeat his opponent in one move!

The intense sound of wind piercing the air rang out!

Mu Qinglan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally raised her head to look!

Those eyes usually filled with a hint of laughter were now as cold as winter at this moment!

Jiang Xin felt his heart tremble!

For some reason, an unconscious fear suddenly surged up in his heart!

Being fixed by such a look, Jiang Xin felt like someone had dragged a cold dagger across his throat!

In the next instant, he gritted his teeth. Mu Linghan was just a cripple. How dare he look at Jiang Xin like that!

“I’m going to gouge your eyes out!” Jiang Xin roared in rage. 

At the last moment, before his hand reached Mu Linghan, he suddenly stretched out two fingers and curved it into a hook, aiming it directly towards Mu Qinglan’s eyes!

“Ahhh!”

Many people cried out in shock, not expecting Jiang Xin’s first strike to be such a bloodied killer move!

Squelch!

His palm instantly seemed to go through the head of the person before him!

However, there was no blood on his hands!

Jiang Xin’s heart sank. The Mu Linghan in front of him gradually dissipated into nothing!

It was actually an afterimage!

A chill ran up his spine, and Jiang Xin turned around without much thought! He swung his hooked fist out!

Bang!

Mu Qinglan raised her palm and actually faced his fist head-on with her own fist!

Both fists collided fiercely against each other!

Jiang Xin’s face paled, an excruciating pain running up his arm instantly!

Before he could react, Mu Qinglan flipped her fist into a palm and grabbed his wrist!

Jiang Xin knew something terrible was about to happen, and immediately raised his leg to kick Mu Qinglan’s stomach!

A hint of mockery flashed in Mu Qinglan’s eyes, and she swiftly kicked out first, landing a blow directly on Jiang Xin’s knees!

Crack!

The sounds of bone breaking rang out, and Jiang Xin’s mind went blank for a moment! Then, his leg went limp and he fell to the ground on his knees!

“Ahhhhh!”

He was in extreme pain and fury, and beads of sweat broke out quickly on his forehead!

The crowd was dumbfounded as they watched the match unfold in front of them.

However, Mu Qinglan didn’t give Jiang Xin a chance to catch his breath. She immediately raised her foot to kick him fiercely in his chest!

Bang!

When everyone thought that Jiang Xin would fly backward from the impact, they saw his body twist strangely instead.

That black-clothed youth was still clutching Jiang Xin’s wrist tightly, and he had not let go even after delivering that kick to Jiang Xin’s chest! Instead, the youth took the chance to twist it forcefully!

Jiang Xin had a burly figure, but at this moment, he was being tossed around like a piece of rag. He was tossed around a few more times before Mu Qinglan finally threw him out!

Bam!

Jiang Xin’s body flew far out of the stage, horrible, scarlet lines lining the ground where his body had rolled over!

The entire arena plunged into a deadly silence.

Mu Qinglan slowly stepped forward.

Jiang Xin’s eyes were already bloodshot. A massive wave of fear washed over him when he vaguely saw the slender black figure approaching him!

“Didn’t you say that you could crush me with just a finger?” 

Mu Qinglan smiled lazily, but there was a chill in her eyes that could pierce one’s bones.

“I wonder which finger you were referring to?” 

Her foot was already on top of Jiang Xin’s right hand as she said that! She exerted more force as she pressed her foot downwards to crush his fingers!
