Chapter 35: A Second Bloom, with a Kick, Cracking Eggs!

On the Sword Comparison Platform, Lin Wangchuan unexpectedly used the move “Monkey Steals Peach,” grabbing Qin Fei’s peach right under him.

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

Sect Leader Jiang Qitian spat out his tea.

The five Elders were left flabbergasted.

Especially Elder Gu Feng, Lin Wangchuan’s master, who trembled and accidentally dropped his teacup, shattering it on the ground.

The place fell into silence.

No one could believe that Lin Wangchuan would actually pull off “Monkey Steals Peach,” and right in front of everyone, no less, stealing from Qin Fei!

Only Xiao Yang had a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

In the next moment, Lin Wangchuan squeezed tight, then quickly withdrew his right hand.

Qin Fei’s body jolted, arching up like a big shrimp, his face instantly turning beet red, contorted in agony.

He opened his mouth, lips trembling, but not a sound came out.

He was utterly collapsing.

Lin Wangchuan’s squeeze showed him what real male pain felt like.

That grip shattered all the Sword Qi Qin Fei had built up.

The nine radiant streams of Sword Light in the sky vanished into thin air, causing a small, multi-colored sword to plummet to the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, this is just a little lesson for you. We have all the time in the world to play!

Xiao Yang coldly looked at Qin Fei, who was now shaking with pain on the Sword Comparison Platform, barely able to stand.

In this life, he wanted to repay all the suffering Qin Fei had caused him in the last life, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

At that moment, Lin Wangchuan flashed in front of Qin Fei.

He launched a kick, his foot making the most intimate contact with Qin Fei’s face.

Qin Fei went flying, tumbling to the ground.

“I… can’t… lose…”

Qin Fei struggled, shakily getting back to his feet.

His face was a mess of blood, with a shoeprint glaring right on his cheek.

“Little Junior Brother…”

At the foot of the platform, Jiang Ting saw Qin Fei in such a miserable state, feeling anxious and pained, wishing she could swap places with him.

Of course, she had no peach for Lin Wangchuan to steal.

“I… cannot lose…”

Qin Fei held on stubbornly.

“Oh, you can still stand?”

Lin Wangchuan was a bit surprised, then swiftly flashed, landing right back in front of Qin Fei like a nimble monkey.

“You…”

Qin Fei, fighting through the pain in his lower region, tried to circulate his Sword Dao Vital Energy to summon the fallen flying sword back.

“Let’s do it again!”

Lin Wangchuan proclaimed, kicking hard at Qin Fei’s lower region.

Everyone seemed to hear the sound of eggs cracking.

The male disciples below instinctively clenched their legs tightly.

The female disciples, on the other hand, sported flushed faces.

Qin Fei rolled his eyes back, unable to endure any longer, collapsing to the ground, hands covering his peach, shaking from the pain, unable to even scream.

“…”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Lin Wangchuan was just too ruthless.

That last move of “Monkey Steals Peach” wasn’t enough; he had to double down?

That kick might just ensure Qin Fei’s line ended here!

Lin Wangchuan actually beat Qin Fei thanks to his incredible agility, and that surprising grasp and squeeze.

Although Qin Fei had attained Complete Heavenly Martial Arts, he achieved it with help from external forces, his level forcibly pushed up by Jiang Qitian.

Xiao Yang, living life again, knew better than anyone how to deal with Qin Fei.

He understood Qin Fei’s condition perfectly.

Jiang Qitian helped Qin Fei promote his level using the “pulling the seedlings” method.

In a short time frame, Qin Fei would never be able to master this newfound powerful strength properly.

While he hadn’t completely grasped this newly created force, his actual strength hadn’t increased all that much.

Meanwhile, Lin Wangchuan, though only at the peak of Divine Ability Realm, was pure-hearted and devoid of distracting thoughts, being a Pristine Holy Body.

Xiao Yang had long noticed that Lin Wangchuan’s Sword Dao Vital Energy was much stronger than that of an average peak Divine Ability Realm sword cultivator.

And with a surprise attack catching Qin Fei off guard, he really was not losing unjustly.

“What utter nonsense!”

At this moment, a furious shout rang out.

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie suddenly stood up, glaring at Lin Wangchuan on the Sword Comparison Platform: “In the sect’s great competition, you dare use such underhanded tricks? I declare this battle invalid and revoke Lin Wangchuan’s qualification to compete in the sect competition.”

“You old man, with such poor judgement, how can you disallow me from participating in the sect competition?” Lin Wangchuan retorted.

“This kid has no respect for his elders! Elder Gu, is this how you teach your disciple?” Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie glared at Elder Gu Feng.

“My disciple is purehearted and respects his teachers. If my senior can be fair and just, we will certainly respect them in return,” Elder Gu Feng replied calmly.

“You…”

Law Enforcement Elder was speechless, clearly implying that he was being unjust.

At this point, Jiang Ting rushed onto the Sword Comparison Platform, standing awkwardly next to Qin Fei, feeling helpless.

After all, she was a girl, and Qin Fei was injured in a rather embarrassing area.

She could only watch anxiously, as there was nothing she could do.

Seeing Jiang Ting so tense about Qin Fei, Xiao Yang felt a bit uncomfortable, even though he’d put it aside.

He remembered in the last life, Jiang Ting always told him that she had no feelings for Qin Fei, just a senior-junior relationship, and her concern for him was simply because he was the youngest, having lost his parents young and came from a pitiful background.

Back then, he believed Jiang Ting’s nonsense, only to end up with his heart pierced by Qin Fei’s sword.

Now, it seemed Jiang Ting probably didn’t realize that she had already developed feelings for Qin Fei!

Her worry and care for Qin Fei had long exceeded that of a typical senior-junior relationship.

But what was that to Xiao Yang?

In this life, if he looked back, he truly would deserve it.

At that moment, a disciple from Spirit Herb Valley climbed onto the Sword Comparison Platform to check Qin Fei’s injuries.

“Elder Gu, your disciple hurt someone using underhanded tactics during the sect competition, do you still plan to defend him? Where do you put the sect’s rules?” Law Enforcement Elder said angrily.

“This…”

Elder Gu Feng opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond.

“Law Enforcement Elder, your words are misguided!” Xiao Yang suddenly interjected.

“What?”

Law Enforcement Elder turned in surprise, quickly glaring at Xiao Yang.

This guy had already contradicted him once; what was he up to now?

Sect Leader Jiang Qitian and the other Elders looked at Xiao Yang.

Their Sect Holy Son had been acting strangely lately, daring to frequently contradict his superiors.

After all, Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie was known for his fiery temper and strict fairness.

Xiao Yang’s repeated questioning of him was akin to slapping Lei Lie in the face!

Everyone watched Xiao Yang in shock.

Was the Sect Holy Son really going to confront the Law Enforcement Elder again?

“Holy Son, it’s evident that Lin Wangchuan used underhanded tactics—shouldn’t he be punished?” Law Enforcement Elder said sternly.

Upon hearing that, everyone’s hearts trembled.

The pressure from Law Enforcement Elder wasn’t something everyone could easily endure.

Yet Xiao Yang remained calm and composed in front of him.

“Who says my brother used underhanded tactics?”

Looking directly into Law Enforcement Elder’s eyes, Xiao Yang spoke, word by word.
