Chapter 150 Follow Your Heart
"W-how...is it?"
"Who really won between these two?"
"I heard these two are new disciples this year, Jian... they're simply too strong!"
"..."
The crowd below the arena was unable to lift their heads due to the pressure from the two terrifying punches, and their vision was also obscured by the dust and smoke generated after the two people in the arena collided, making it impossible for them to see what was happening.
Just as everyone was shocked and discussing, the dust in the arena was once again blown away by a gust of wind from a punch.
The figures of Lin Que and Liu Dezhu were revealed.
In the training ground, the two were still standing facing each other, but their shirts were nowhere to be seen!
It turned out that the impact of the collision caused their shirts to be blown apart, revealing the muscles of their upper bodies!
The difference is that Liu Dezhu's bronze-colored, bulging muscles appear very lean and strong, while Lin Que's fair skin reveals incredibly fine and smooth muscle lines, resembling a sculpted work of art.
At this moment, the visual impact of the two men's naked upper bodies attracted the attention of the female disciples present!
Their eyes sparkled like stars!
Aside from the visual impact, anyone could see that the muscles of these two men contained an incredibly terrifying explosive power!
It was evident from the sparring match between the two that every punch they threw was incredibly powerful, each punch seemingly capable of shattering the void and piercing through heaven and earth. Even the force of their punches was so strong that it made everyone unable to lift their heads.
It should be noted that few cultivators focus on tempering their physical bodies; most are more inclined towards cultivating magical techniques. This makes physical cultivators extremely rare, let alone the kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat that occurs between physical cultivators.
This is truly a rare sight!
This is one of the reasons why it attracts the attention of those female disciples.
Even some of the male disciples looked on with envy when they saw the muscles in the upper bodies of these two!
In the arena, the gazes between Lin Que and Liu Dezhu were still filled with passion!
The light from their punches was still dazzling!
Just as everyone was excitedly thinking that the two were going to continue their competition, Liu Dezhu's voice rang out first, which made everyone, including Lin Que, pause in surprise!
All that could be heard was Liu Dezhu shouting to Elder Ming, "Elder! I admit defeat!"
Everyone looked at Liu Dezhu in disbelief. He clearly still had energy left, and the two people on the field were clearly not injured at all. At most, both sides had just been a little overexerted.
Even Lin Que couldn't understand it and asked, "Brother Liu, why do you do this?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dezhu said, "Because if we continue playing, I will also lose."
"You should know that Brother Lin, you are the most skilled with a sword, but you have been competing with me using fist techniques."
Even if I win in the end, I will still feel like I lost.
"Of course, that's not the most important thing."
"Most importantly, I believe that only you, Brother Lin, have a chance to defeat Chen Jiuge."
"Anyway, I had a great time in this battle!"
After saying that, Liu Dezhu grinned at Lin Que and then walked off the field.
Although the crowd below the stage did not understand why, they still looked at him with awe!
After all, his strength has already proven everything!
On the field, Lin Que remained rooted to the spot, lost in thought...
He said he was afraid that his victory would be dishonest.
But was it actually to maintain his peak condition so that he could fight Chen Jiuge?
Brother Liu, you've really put a lot of pressure on me.
After shaking his head with a wry smile, Lin Que also walked off the field, glancing at the solitary figure standing out in the crowd along the way.
That figure remained as languid as ever.
To be honest, even Lin Que himself wasn't sure if he could hold his own against him, let alone defeat him.
After all, this person is simply too strong!
Brother Liu, being a stress person is not a good habit.
Thus, the competition ended with Liu Dezhu's voluntary surrender, leaving Lin Que in first place in the battle for the top five.
Next up is the second round of the battle for the top five rankings!
As the projection froze, Liu Buzhu faced off against Li Jingming, while Chen Jiuge automatically got a bye.
Needless to say, in the second match, after only 45 minutes on the field, Liu Buzhu seized a slight opening in Li Jingming's defense and defeated him, winning the match!
After losing the competition, Li Jingming will compete with Liu Dezhu for fourth place.
Fortunately, the ranking battles for the losers are held last, so there's no need to rush.
Next comes the final round of projection scrolling, to see who gets a bye, or who will face off against Chen Jiuge.
After the projection freezes!
Unexpectedly, it was still a civil war, with Lin Que facing off against Liu Buzhu, leaving Chen Jiuge with another bye!
However, no one questioned Chen Jiuge's strength, and to be honest, it would be best if he got a bye, since anyone facing him would be in despair.
What's even more unexpected is that Liu Buzhu also conceded defeat first after the battle began, leaving Lin Que completely caught off guard.
After a while...
After Lin Que came to his senses, he glanced at Liu Dezhu!
He realized that the two brothers had conspired to defeat him as well, and that they would admit defeat whenever they encountered him.
Lin Que had no choice but to accept the outcome.
This sect competition, apart from the loser's battle, only has one final match left!
This is expected to be the most exciting match!
Just as everyone was excitedly anticipating the event, the Qingyun Sect Master suddenly announced that today's competition was over and the final battle would be held tomorrow!
The sudden decision caught everyone off guard, but fortunately it only lasted one night, and everyone eventually came to understand.
After all, Lin Que has already competed today and has been somewhat exhausted. It would be good to let him rest for a night to recover his peak condition and fight again tomorrow.
This is good for both Lin Que and Chen Jiuge!
Afterwards, everyone left the venue filled with anticipation for tomorrow.
Before leaving, Lin Que glanced at Chen Jiuge and found that he was also looking at him, and a glint of light flashed in each of their eyes.
And a touch of heat!
......
Late at night, in the bamboo forest behind Zizhu Peak, a figure stood there.
A gentle evening breeze swept by, rustling the bamboo grove as the evening meal was enjoyed. In the sky, a bright moon hung high, casting a slightly longer shadow.
The night view of the purple bamboo forest was beautiful, but the figure looked melancholy!
"Sigh~!" Lin Que sighed softly and said, "Master, what do you think I should do to defeat Chen Jiuge?"
"Ok?"
"How did you manage to discover your master, kid?"
At this moment, Zhang Daojiu appeared behind Lin Que and looked at him with surprise!
Lin Que said calmly, "I guessed. That's how it usually goes in novels."
"Huh? What...what novel plot?" Zhang Daojiu didn't understand what Lin Que meant.
"Ahem!" Lin Que coughed twice and said, "It's nothing, Master, you don't need to worry about it. Let's talk about how to beat Chen Jiuge first."
Of course, Lin Que was just making this up. After all, with the Taiqing Chaos Technique, he knew as soon as Zhang Daojiu got close.
Fortunately, Zhang Daojiu didn't mind. He already knew that this disciple was extraordinary. He had been able to sense the presence of Fairy Caili back in the sect market.
Therefore, it is normal for him to be able to sense his own arrival.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Daojiu said to Lin Que, "Just follow your own heart. You are no weaker than him."
"It's just that her cultivation level is lower than his!"
"Take it easy. Losing isn't a big deal. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
"I came here to say these few words to you."
"Alright, I'm leaving now!"
"Remember, just follow your own heart..."
Before leaving, Zhang Daojiu gave Lin Que a meaningful look and repeated the first sentence he had just said.
"Follow your heart...?"
In the bamboo grove, only Lin Que remained, gazing blankly at the bright moon...
