"When I saw you for the first time, I knew we were both lonely people!" Zhou Xinyi said softly. After a moment, she regained her composure and added, "Alright! Let's head back! They must be finishing up now! I'm counting on you to win first place!"
"Okay! I will definitely win first place!" Ling Mo Xie declared confidently, taking Zhou Xinyi's hand as they returned to the training ground.
Earlier, when they saw Zhou Xinyi leave in anger, the Ling family disciples had secretly rejoiced at Ling Mo Xie's misfortune. But now, seeing them return hand in hand, with Zhou Xinyi smiling and chattering away, their hearts shattered into pieces. What kind of magic did Ling Mo Xie possess? Just moments ago, she had looked like she would never speak to him again. Now it seemed she couldn't bear to be apart from him!
This scene broke the hearts of many Ling family disciples, making them reflect on whether they were truly that inferior. Just look at how things were compared to Ling Mo Xie...
The timing of their return was perfect, as the two arenas had just concluded their matches. The top three had already emerged: Ling Tianxing, Ling Yuting, and Ling Mo Xie! Next, they would determine the specific rankings.
Each person needed to compete against the other two to decide their final positions. Ling Mo Xie's first match was against Ling Yuting.
Seeing that her opponent was Ling Mo Xie, Ling Yuting sneered and said, "Trash is still trash! Even if you can cultivate now, you're still useless! You think you can get involved with me? It looks like I have to teach you a lesson!" She cracked her knuckles as she spoke.
"Ha! What are you? You think I want anything to do with you? Are you kidding me? Do you actually believe that?" Ling Mo Xie replied with a look of disdain.
Ling Yuting's anger flared at Ling Mo Xie's dismissive expression. She pulled out a long whip from her storage ring and snapped it sharply, saying, "Let me show you how I teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
With a swift motion, Ling Mo Xie used the awkwardly named technique "Chicken Flying Dog Jump" to appear behind Ling Yuting. Seeing her stunned expression, he crossed his arms and patted her shoulder with one hand: "Hey? Do you know where your little lord is?"
"Crack!" Just as he finished speaking, a whip crack sounded from where he had been standing, forcing Ling Mo Xie to narrowly dodge it. He couldn't help but click his tongue; this girl was not to be underestimated! Her reaction speed was impressive. He was at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment while she was only at the ninth level, yet she almost caught him!
It was also due to his rapid rise in strength that left him lacking in combat experience.
"Hmph!" Seeing that Ling Mo Xie had actually dodged, Ling Yuting let out a cold snort. The long whip in her hand danced continuously, and in an instant, the arena was filled with shadows of the whip! Although the skill "Chicken Flying and Dog Jumping" had an unappealing name, its power was undeniable!
Despite the dense whip shadows, he managed to narrowly evade them! After a moment, Ling Mo Xie coldly said, "I've played along long enough! Next, I'm going to make my move!"
The sound of clashing echoed as Ling Mo Xie's pig-killing knife collided with Ling Yuting's long whip.
Ling Yuting smiled proudly, "How about that? My Shadowless Whip is also a mid-grade yellow-tier spirit weapon! It's not inferior to your pig-killing knife!" With that, she increased the speed of her movements even more!
"Damn it!" Ling Mo Xie cursed under his breath. Although his cultivation was slightly higher than Ling Yuting's, his combat experience was nearly nonexistent, and he only had one attack skill—the pig-killing knife technique—making things quite difficult!
This made him even more eager to improve his cultivation. Who knows what kind of world this is? He was just in a small family in a town and had already encountered such a strong opponent; there must be even more powerful experts outside! To survive and live better, he needed greater strength!
Only by doing so! Ling Mo Xie thought to himself as he activated a small red potion. With a "pop!", he caught the long whip swinging through the air. Suddenly, his health bar dropped by two-thirds, but thankfully he had the foresight!
Ling Mo Xie thought with lingering fear that thanks to the small red potion, his health bar began to rise again.
Gripping the long whip, Ling Mo Xie used all his strength from being at the tenth level of foundation establishment to pull Ling Yuting, who was at the ninth level of foundation establishment. She was stunned by how Ling Mo Xie had caught her long whip out of nowhere and was pulled toward him, crashing into his embrace.
This collision snapped her back to reality. Using all her strength, she slapped Ling Mo Xie's chest. He staggered back a few steps to the edge of the arena, and his health bar dropped rapidly. Frightened, Ling Mo Xie quickly used another small red potion to restore his health!
Anger surged within him as he snatched the long whip from her hand and threw it down from the arena. Using the "Chicken Flying and Dog Jumping" skill, he quickly appeared behind Ling Yuting and kicked her in the rear: "Screw you! How dare you hit me?"
With the immense power of being at the tenth level of foundation establishment, Ling Yuting didn't have time to react before she was kicked away, falling outside the arena. Once she regained her senses, she shouted angrily, "Useless Ling Mo Xie! How dare you kick me? You're not a real man!"
"Hmph! You say I'm not a man? I think you're not a woman! You're just a Mother Tiger! Spit!" Ling Mo Xie spat and looked at the stunned referee, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and announce it!"
"Oh! Oh! The match is over! Ling Mo Xie wins!" the referee quickly announced.
After leaving the Arena, Zhou Xinyi ran over, pouting as she shouted at him, "You have no gentlemanly demeanor at all! She's a beautiful woman! How can you treat her like that? Kick her in the butt!"
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily, "I've never been a gentleman! I'm a little rogue!" As he spoke, he playfully rubbed Zhou Xinyi's nose and added, "But for you, I'd be happy to pretend to be a gentleman! Ladies first!" Ling Mo Xie pretended to be a gentleman, pressing his hand against his chest while gesturing for her to go ahead, even bending slightly at the waist.
This elicited a burst of laughter from Zhou Xinyi, while Ling Yuting watched from the side, gritting her teeth in anger.
The Ling family members watching the match completely set aside their feelings of imbalance and dissatisfaction with Ling Mo Xie. They sighed inwardly, "Look at him; he's really good at flirting! No wonder so many talented people are pursuing Zhou Xinyi, yet she only has eyes for Ling Mo Xie, who was once considered useless but is now so charming!"
Some even pulled out paper and pens from somewhere to jot down notes. Were they writing down Ling Mo Xie's flirting secrets?
