THE FIRST OF TWO CHAPTERS IN MAY!
----------------------------------------
Chapter 33 – Another OTK
“Ahem…” Second Prince Hui Honghui cleared his throat while sighing dejectedly. Due to his younger brother’s arrogance every single old timer in the crowd was staring daggers at him as if to say “You want to boast about this little punk do you?”. No one thought this was Hui Hao acting independently but rather their Plateau Empire flagrantly boasting of their talent.
“The second match will be the loose cultivator Huangfu Xiurong against Seven Mirage Valley’s young master Ye Lishen,” Hui Honghui announced. Now, the easiest way to diffuse the tension would be start the next round.
When Qin Cheng heard her alias being called, she quietly stood up and walked down.
“Ooh! So Pretty!” many members of the crowd were awed the moment they laid their eyes on her, causing Qin Cheng to blush in embarrassment. Even her opponent couldn’t restrain his gaze.
Hai Yun silently nodded in satisfaction. Seriously, many characteristics of beauty were universal and if the crowd could recognize that Qin Cheng was beautiful, that meant he had good taste! He wasn’t a vain person who would get jealous over such a thing. However, he did silently hang a skull and crossbones sign over the heads of every person that was ogling his young wife. These people were creepy perverts and deserved death!
Next, Ye Lishen jumped from his seat directly to the platform. Interestingly enough, Ye Lishen was the same youth who had called Hui Honghui out for being arrogant.
“This kid is at the 3rd level of the Nascent Spirit Realm,” Xue Yi commented. In his eyes, this kid who needed eleven months to get from the 1st stage to the 3rd stage was indeed an inferior monkey. Even the super talents like Hai Yun’s friends Long Zhiyun who reached the Spirit Fusion Realm in 2 years were considered “acceptable”. According to Xue Yi’s view, it only takes about a year to go through the Nascent Spirit Realm, as long as this physical body hurdle is crossed, cultivation becomes much easier and a talented person in a place with strong heaven and earth qi would be able to go past the Spirit Fusion stage into the Spirit Soul Stage which would take a few years due to the development of the corporeal body. This is why Long Zhiyun only barely made the cut for “Average”.
“This lady, it would truly be a shame for your face to be scarred from this battle. I can tell from your motions that you have no prior battle experience, please step down.” Ye Lishen stated.
Hateful! Why aren’t you ogling my future wife! How dare you act in a manner in which I cannot despise the very essence of your being! Hai Yun thought inwardly. The Seven Mirage Valley was one of the powers he was dead set on destroying, so why was this young master in their younger generation so polite?!?! He should be detestable by rights!

“You are correct that I have no real battle experience. However, if I simply step down everytime I get such an opportunity when would I ever be able to get battle experience?” Qin Cheng asked.
“This matter…” Ye Lishen was indeed at a lost for words, however he quickly collected himself again. “Very well then, in that case, please make your move. I will avoid being heavy handed.”
“If you say so…” Qin Cheng smiled. However, there was a hint of ferociousness in this smile and behind her a tigress phantom began to appear. Her eyes transformed into tiger eyes as well and a flame began to burn around her, this was her using the Samsara Flame Tigress’s instincts and abilities. Although she was merely a 2nd stage Nascent Spirit Realm cultivator, in comparison to the youth of this continent, she had the strength of someone at the Spirit Profound Realm!
“RAWRRR!” Qin Cheng roared as she pounced towards Ye Li Shen.
Poor Ye Lishen who had been so kind hearted and considerate before could only tremble in fear and raise his arms in an attempt to block the attack.
As she neared his position, Qin Cheng swung her right hand in a sweeping motion, causing the the Tigress phantom which was mirroring her movements to swipe out with its right claws smashing into Ye Lishen and sending him straight into an arena wall with a bang!
This round was another, OTK!
…
At this time in the spectator’s stands a Spirit Fusion elder from the Seven Mirage Valley just stood up in anger and was about to lash out at Qin Cheng for attacking Ye Lishen so hard when an oppressive aura forced him back into his seat.
This aura naturally came from a certain wandering Spirit Sovereign that had tailed his potential Legacy disciple all the way here. This particular Spirit Sovereign was also using a certain bloodline tracking device, because a certain 13 year old kid had managed to run away without leaving a trace! Furthermore, that 13 year old stowaway also took his potential Legacy disciple with him. Now, he had finally found those two brats and some tiny Spirit Fusion Realm cultivator was trying to interrupt his observations? Talk about courting death! At his age, there were few things that could surprise him, and a little 13 year old that evaded his attention was certainly amongst those things!
…
Hui Honghui was indeed very confused as he watched Qin Cheng’s match play out. He had intentionally paired the young master of the Seven Mirage Valley with a random loose cultivator so that he could easily proceed to the later rounds. In fact, he had done so with the intention of allowing all the powerful sects in attendance the chance to perform an OTK and spread their prestige. However, now that his arrangements led to the Seven Mirage Valley's strongest member being OTKed, wouldn’t the Seven Mirage Valley take their anger out on his head? This was a very troublesome matter, considering the Plateau Empire, and his own, personal situation.
Luckily, the elder from the Seven Mirage Valley did not make a scene, allowing him to proceed to the next round. When he saw that elder stand up and then sit back down he slowly let out a sigh of relief. Indeed, he was in a difficult position right now as no one would believe it if he said he didn’t pit these Seven Mirage Valley disciples intentionally. In fact, because it was him they would be even less likely to believe that this was an accident because the incident from 6 months ago was still fresh in the rumor circle!
“The Third match will be…”
