Chapter 52: A Sense of Chaos, Is It Good?
"Right! I agree with the city master's words!" Xiao Ding exclaimed loudly at the first moment, and he was very excited in his heart. Even he didn't expect that City Master Li Ran would take the initiative to come forward, and between his words, he valued Chen Huan quite a bit. This is something that has never happened in Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference over the years.
"This is the most interesting defensive ultimate I've ever seen!"
……
In a short moment, the arbitration team made a straightforward statement. It doesn't matter if what Li Ran said was reasonable or not, it's still reasonable. The He Lian family is powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they can't surpass the City Master's Mansion...
The City Lord's Mansion and various major forces are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but the City Lord's Mansion is indeed the core of balancing power in an area. Small matters are not managed, big matters you take a look?
"I didn't expect Old Man Xiao to have such a powerful and mysterious skill hidden up his sleeve, it's truly astonishing... Master Xiao, what is the name of this skill? And what level of proficiency does it require?" asked one member of the arbitration team.
"This... this is an ancestral secret that's never been passed down, and I... I don't even know it myself..."
Xiao Ding faced the crowd's inquiry, his heart was extremely embarrassed. As the master of the Xiao family, he didn't even know his own family's martial arts, it was really too humiliating...
He was truly unaware of when his ancestors had hidden such a strange skill, and he even seriously suspected whether this was really the skill of his ancestors...
But suspicion is suspicion, since the hat has been put on Xiao Lao's head, then he must admit it, whether he likes it or not, and lose face if necessary.
……
On the main stage, after seeing more than half of the arbitration team members express their opinions, the judge announced the result of the game in a straightforward and efficient manner: He Lian Wuzi drew with Chen Huan!
He Lian Wuzi tightly bit her lips, and with a trembling body, she stood up. Her hair and clothes were disheveled from the entanglement with Chen Huan. What was even more eye-catching was that on her heaving chest, two clear bloody claw marks had appeared at some point, without He Lian Wuzi herself even realizing it...
But as she slowly stepped down from the stage, she blinded countless admirers with her eyes, especially her fiancé He Lian Yi Qing. His small eyes emitted an almost explosive anger, his knife-like facial features were clearly defined, his veins bulged, and his teeth clenched with a faint hum. He, who was usually cold and unyielding, couldn't hide his emotions at this moment, nor did he want to...
He Lian Wu Zi is his fiancée, however... unexpectedly...
Shu Ke can endure it, but Shu's wife cannot. Li Ran and others may consider Chen Hao's way of fighting as a defensive ultimate skill, but how can he? How is it possible?
His own fiancée, the woman he deeply loves, was actually entwined, rolled over, and pressed against by another man... Can men tolerate this?
"Xiao Wu, I will kill him for you!" He Lian Yi Qing gazed at He Lian Wu Zi's pale and expressionless face, speaking word by word. As he spoke, he reached out his hand to support the almost fainting He Lian Wu Zi, but was stopped by her waving hand.
"Sister, take me back..." He Lian Wu Zi's originally ethereal and beautiful voice, like the gentle tinkling of a spring, was still pleasant to hear, but seemed to have lost all its vitality.
The woman known as Shī Jiě looked at He Lian Yi Qing, seemingly hesitating for a moment, but still warmly hugged He Lian Wu Zi and quickly disappeared in a flash.
No one knew what Heliang Yiqing was feeling at this moment, but that slightly trembling body, flushed face, and fiercely humiliated eyes... seemed even more intense than when he stared at Chen Huan earlier.
……
At almost the same time, Xiao Mei with a faint blush on her face also hastily left the martial arts arena under the gaze of countless people, carrying Chen Huan who was in an even more pitiful state than Bi He Lian Wu Zi.
……
The battle continues.
But perhaps Chen Hao and He Lian Wuzi's battle was too stimulating, causing what should have been a very exciting fight to lose its flavor in the eyes of everyone...
Xiao Jihan, who had just been pleased for two days, couldn't help but change his arrogant face back to a gloomy and depressed one, almost to the point of tears...
What kind of world is this? Being hit time and time again, becoming stronger each time, just when I'm feeling a bit proud, it comes again...
Is this the end? Is there no justice in heaven? He himself had just become an eighth-grade martial artist, but he became a fourth-grade one. Fine, let him be a small-time fourth-grade martial artist, but damn it, a fourth-grade martial artist could actually hold his own against an eighth-grade martial artist! And to make matters worse, this was the very same eighth-grade martial artist that he had secretly admired and didn't even have the confidence to defeat!
……
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth were stained with dirty blood, his eyes closed, enduring the numbness and pain all over his body. Although the Golden Snake Lock had restrained He Lian Wu Zi, the huge gap in their realms still brought great pressure to Chen Hao. The completely crazy He Lian Wu Zi was like an untamed wild horse, forcing Chen Hao to use all his skills and strength, but in the end, he could only barely suppress him without being able to tame him, and even suffered severe injuries...
The faint scent of Xiao Mei's body that had drilled into Chen Hao's nostrils, as well as her soft embrace, had unexpectedly become his pain-relieving medicine at this moment...
Especially when thinking of fighting with Helian Wuzi to the middle, I feel that I can't bear it, and I have no choice but to use the "Chaotic Heart Method" - the "Grabbing Dragon Claw Hand". The softness, the fluttering... and other strange feelings transmitted into my hand made Chen Huan's cold and unyielding heart slightly disordered.
A cluttered feeling...
Seems pretty good!
"Junior brother..."
"Huh?"
Just as Chen Huan was indulging in the wonderful feeling, Xiao Mei, who was holding him and moving forward quickly and steadily, suddenly called out. Chen Huan was startled awake, and the foam-like chaos instantly dissipated. He opened his eyes to look at Xiao Mei's not very pretty but very endearing and charming little face.
"Victory... is it really that important?"
"This..."
"Do you know that you are betting with your own life? If from the beginning...you didn't grasp it, do you know what the consequences would be? Shifu has already told you, your performance is already very good, far exceeding everyone's expectations, enough, really enough...Even if you can't enter the top ten, what can you do? Our Xiao family has already gained a reputation!"
Chen Hao gazed at Xiao Mei, and Xiao Mei didn't evade him at all. Because Xiao Mei felt that if Chen Hao couldn't accept her, she would probably pay a terrible price for this kind of personality one day...
After staring at each other for several seconds, Chen Huan smiled and avoided Xiao Mei's gaze with his deep black eyes, but narrowed them slightly, saying: "Win or lose is not important to me!"
"Why are you still working so hard?"
"Is there?" Chen Huan smiled slightly and asked back, without explaining too much. He continued, "I know, Shifu, you're worried about me, but as long as there's a glimmer of hope, I won't allow myself to fail! A warrior must be brave and ambitious, striving for progress and advancement. If we overthink the pros and cons, hesitate and fear, how can we challenge our limits and surpass ourselves? Only doing things with absolute certainty is meaningless! We don't have to do something that's doomed to fail and bring shame and destruction upon ourselves. But as long as there's a one-in-ten chance of winning, we must go for it! We must fight with all our might and grasp that one-in-ten chance firmly in our hands!"
Chen Hao's stubborn gaze and firm voice, especially the words that pierced her soul, left Xiao Mei speechless once again...
"Besides... Xiao Jihan is already an 8th rank warrior, so I don't want to give up on the training before the life and death duel. Only through fighting, surpassing my own limits, and being filled with danger can I quickly improve! So, I must go all out and fight He Lian Wuzi! Haha... although I didn't win against her, I also didn't lose, it's considered a success..." Chen Hao said up to this point, his blood-stained face revealed a brilliant smile, and his voice also became softer.
Xiao Mei stared blankly for a moment, then rolled her eyes and said: "It's all your logic, I really don't know where you came up with those grand principles, do as you please..."
"Sister, you're really subtle..."
"What's implied?"
"It's clear that you're pleased and willing, why must you be willing in your heart but unwilling in words? Show it to me, let me enjoy it too..."
"Pfft! Who's afraid of you?" Xiao Mei said with a slightly red face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as I do. However... Senior Sister, what I said earlier, you can't just copy me because I'm different from you... You should at least have 50% confidence before doing something, otherwise, it's better not to do it..."
"What? Are you worried about Shifu's sister?"
"It's okay, I suppose... apart from my family, there aren't many people who can make me worry... you're lucky to be one of them." Chen Hao said with a sunny smile on his face, which was unfortunately ruined by the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and on his cheeks.
However, Chen Huan's mood was indeed very good at this moment. In that case, the former naive boy would not say it, and the former madman he was too proud to say it. But the merged him said it out because of Xiao Mei's heartfelt concern for him.
Warm but still proud and aloof.
Chen Hao knew that at this moment, he was no longer any of his past selves, but a brand new him, combining the characteristics of two people!
When facing Helian Dancer, he deeply realized...
The former Chen Huan would not have hesitated to kill or not, because He Lian Wuzi was just competing with him. Even if He Lian Wuzi wanted to use the water attribute energy of the five elements to shatter his dantian in the end, he would not have harbored any intention to kill, because it was he who "made the first move". If it were any other woman, she might not be able to tolerate it. But the former Earth Crazy Man would definitely kill!
But he hesitated and ultimately did not kill...
……
"Let me help you heal?"
When Xiao Mei brought Chen Huan back to the Xiao family's residence, she said to Chen Huan.
"No need. I still have some medicine, it's no big deal, tomorrow I'll be as good as new!"
"Alright, I'll help you guard the law, go in quickly..."
"Hmm." Chen Hao responded with a sound, his eyes suddenly looking towards the empty door outside, saying: "Headmaster, thank you!"
"Ah?" Xiao Mei was slightly startled.
"Cough, cough..." Xiao Guan, who was normally cold-faced, awkwardly coughed twice and suddenly appeared in front of the two. His eyes gleamed as he stared at Chen Huan and asked: "You're indeed born with a keen sixth sense... is your injury really nothing serious?"
"It's really nothing," Chen Hao said.
"That's good... by the way, what was the name of the move you used today?"
"I don't know either, you have to ask Xiao Lao, Xiao Lao only passed it down to me but didn't tell me the name..."
"This skill is not bad. However, don't use it on girls in the future! Men should be upright and honest! Alright, focus on treating your injuries now, Xiaomei is here, if anything happens just call me. I'll be nearby..." Xiao Guan said as he quickly left.
Looking at the lingering figure of Xiao Guan, Xiao Mei thought it was just because the master and others valued Chen Huan highly. But when Chen Huan turned around and walked into the practice room, he slightly narrowed his eyes.
