Next up was the match between Ling Tianxing and Ling Yuting. Ling Mo Xie stood with his arms crossed, casually watching alongside Zhou Xinyi. Although he appeared carefree and indifferent to the two competitors, he had actually activated the recording function, meticulously capturing every move made by Ling Tianxing and Ling Yuting.
Ling Mo Xie was self-aware enough to know that his combat experience paled in comparison to those who had been training since childhood. Therefore, he diligently studied and learned from the combat experiences of Ling Tianxing and Ling Yuting.
In the end, Ling Tianxing proved to be superior, knocking the long whip from Ling Yuting's hands with a single strike and ruthlessly sending her tumbling off the stage.
Next, it was time for Ling Tianxing and Ling Mo Xie to compete for the top position! After a half-hour break, Ling Mo Xie and Ling Tianxing stood on the arena together. Ling Tianxing looked at Ling Mo Xie with a blank expression and said, "You're strong!"
Ling Mo Xie understood that he wasn't being complimented for his strength; rather, it was more about his peculiar resilience—he couldn't be easily defeated!
Ling Mo Xie had a favorable impression of Ling Tianxing; he was a true martial arts enthusiast! Unlike Ling Jiuyin and Ling Tianlong, who were more cunning and manipulative.
"Come on!" Ling Mo Xie brandished his cleaver towards himself. Without saying a word, Ling Tianxing elegantly twirled his short sword, and in a flash, he was already beside Ling Mo Xie, slashing towards his neck!
Ling Mo Xie barely had time to react before his neck was cut open, blood gushing out. He quickly used a small red vial and asked in astonishment, "Aren't you at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment? How are you so fast?"
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie's neck wound healed rapidly, a glimmer of realization flashed in Ling Tianxing's eyes. He coldly replied, "That was last year! I am now at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment!"
Tenth level of Foundation Establishment! Just like his own cultivation level! A stubborn determination welled up in Ling Mo Xie; being at the same level as Ling Tianxing made him believe he couldn't possibly be inferior! Thus, he flipped his cleaver and executed a move from the Pig Slaughtering Technique called "Pig Leg Cut" towards Ling Tianxing!
"What the hell!" Even someone as indifferent as Ling Tianxing couldn't help but curse; who wouldn't be angry if they were treated like a pig to be slaughtered?
Ling Mo Xie awkwardly chuckled; he only knew two skills! He unleashed the "Chicken Flying Dog Jumping" skill again, darting left and right towards Ling Tianxing while clashing his cleaver against the short sword in Ling Tianxing's hand with loud clangs.
Mo Xie was surprised that the short sword in Ling Tianxing's hand was an unknown tier of spiritual weapon. After just a few clashes with his pig-killing knife, the durability of Mo Xie's weapon dropped significantly, making him hesitant to engage directly.
"Hmph!" Ling Tianxing, experienced in battle, quickly noticed that Mo Xie was reluctant to clash directly with his short sword. He swung the short sword in his hand, creating a flurry of afterimages as he launched a rapid assault towards Mo Xie.
Grinding his teeth, Mo Xie reminded himself that he had promised Zhou Xinyi he would take first place. Determined, he braced himself to take a hit from Ling Tianxing while simultaneously bringing his pig-killing knife to Ling Tianxing's throat!
"Oh my!" Mo Xie sighed inwardly; Ling Tianxing truly lived up to his reputation! That single strike had reduced Mo Xie's health by ninety percent, leaving him with barely a sliver of life left! Despite both being at the tenth level of foundation building, Mo Xie believed that if their attack power were quantified, Ling Tianxing's would be at least three times greater than his own!
"I concede!" Ling Tianxing readily admitted defeat. He was not like Mo Xie, who could survive a throat slash; thus, he simply acknowledged his loss. Rankings and victories were unimportant to him; he only sought greater strength!
Mo Xie felt a bit embarrassed; it was an unfair victory! He set down his pig-killing knife and said, "I won unfairly! I took advantage of the fact that I wouldn't die from a critical hit. Next time we have the chance, let's have another match!"
"Alright! A win is a win! You don't need to feel guilty!" Ling Tianxing coolly replied before turning and jumping off the arena.
Mo Xie pouted; he was even more pretentious than I am! He then turned to Ling Jiuyin on the high platform and said, "Hey! Nephew! Isn't it time to announce the results?"
Ling Jiuyin stood up with a gloomy expression, thinking to himself: Let you bask in your glory for a little longer. Once the assassins from Luxian Pavilion arrive, let's see how arrogant you can be!
However, he had no choice but to announce, "The year-end competition for Group Two has concluded! The champion is Mo Xie! Second place is Ling Tianxing, third place is Ling Yuting! Fourth place is Ling Kui and fifth place is Ling Zhizhong! Please come to the ancestral hall tomorrow at Chen hour for the awards ceremony and follow the Master Family envoy to continue your studies at the Ling family in Tianfeng City!"
"Let's go!" Mo Xie took Zhou Xinyi's hand and headed toward his dilapidated courtyard.
"Mo Xie, you're leaving tomorrow!" Zhou Xinyi said quietly, her head down as she seemed lost in thought.
"Don't worry! I'll take you with me! I can't leave you here alone!" Ling Mo Xie said as he pulled Zhou Xinyi into his embrace.
"But... but isn't that bad? I've seen those messengers over the years, and they are all so arrogant. Can you really take me with you?" Zhou Xinyi said anxiously. "I'd rather stay here and wait for you to come back! I don't want to put you in a difficult position!"
"It's fine!" Ling Mo Xie scoffed. He remembered that he was the legitimate grandson of the head of the Ling family in Tianfeng City! Based on the memories left by his predecessor, his pragmatic grandfather was probably already researching why he had transformed from a waste into a genius overnight!
Hmph! Now that Ling Mo Xie is a genius, he must hold considerable value in his cheap grandfather's eyes! Taking someone along shouldn't be a problem.
That night, Ling Mo Xie sat cross-legged on the dilapidated bed of the shabby little house, entering a state of cultivation. His Experience points were slowly increasing, but in reality, Ling Mo Xie had already fallen asleep. This was a skill he had worked hard to develop! Although the growth of Experience was slow, even the smallest mosquito is still meat! He wouldn't miss any opportunity to enhance his power!
"Ding! Sudden mission: Evade pursuit until the messenger from Tianfeng City arrives! Countdown: 10:00
Mission reward: Skill 'Nine Waves Long River Blade Technique' Failure penalty: Erasure!"
"Uh, what?" Ling Mo Xie murmured as he groggily woke up at the sound of the ding. When he saw the sudden mission flashing like a warning light in red, he was startled, as if cold water had been poured over him, and he immediately became alert!
"What! Pursuit!" No wonder Ling Jiuyin's gaze was so evasive during the day! He actually wants my life! My life is not something you can just take if you want it!
