Chapter 45 was truly a thoroughly enjoyable performance!
Chapter 45 was truly a thoroughly enjoyable performance!
Suddenly.
As if remembering something, Li Wudao glanced at Qi Xingyu without leaving a trace.
At this moment, the latter was looking at him vaguely, his face gloomy.
"Oh no, has this kid figured something out?"
Li Wudao's heart skipped a beat.
The power of that punch just now has probably made Qi Xingyu doubt his true strength.
No no no.
If this continues, that guy will chicken out and won't dare to go to the secret realm. How will he then trick and kill the other party?
Thinking of this, Li Wudao deliberately suppressed his breathing, his chest heaving and he panting slightly, showing that he was somewhat exhausted.
From a distance, it gives one a vague sense of weakness.
Although it wasn't obvious, everyone present was a martial artist, highly sensitive to the flow of energy, and they were able to sense that something was amiss.
Even Li Wudao himself was starting to believe it.
"I'm a fucking genius, I was born to be an actor."
He was secretly pleased with himself, marveling at the beauty of his impromptu performance.
Such subtle and realistic acting, who wouldn't be confused?
To be honest, the Oscars owe him an award...
Sure enough, many people noticed something was amiss.
"Qianqian, look! He seems to be breathing heavily. It seems that punch just now was not as easy as it looked."
Ruan Fei narrowed his eyes, overjoyed.
“I see now. It’s all that kid’s trick. He plans to use his full strength to instantly kill his opponent at the beginning to intimidate other challengers and prevent them from taking the stage. He’s really up to no good.”
His eyes gleamed with wisdom, and he had an expression that showed he knew Li Wudao inside and out.
"So that's how it is. Brother Fei is so clever. I almost got fooled by that good-for-nothing. I thought he had some real skills, but he's just a cunning and deceitful fellow!"
After listening to the analysis, Sun Qian found it very reasonable, and a cold smile reappeared on her lips.
Her heart was pounding. She thought that Li Wudao had turned his life around and really transformed into a genius, and then she would regret it.
Fortunately, her judgment was correct; Li Wudao was still a good-for-nothing.
"This kid has a clever plan, but this little trick won't fool everyone. Qianqian, you can relax and watch the show. I guarantee this kid will soon reveal his true colors."
Ruan Fei spoke fluently, his confidence growing stronger with each word.
He could spot the anomaly, and others would naturally realize the problem as well.
Li Wudao's move, seemingly aimed at intimidating his disciples with a single punch, actually indirectly exposed his own lack of strength, making him an easy target for criticism.
It's obvious that he has a better chance of defeating Li Wudao than the other disciples.
If Li Wudao had such difficulty defeating a late-stage Blood Transformation Realm disciple, how would he manage if several more came?
Qi Xingyu shared similar thoughts.
His cautious and grim expression gradually softened, and a heavy weight was silently lifted from his heart.
He had mistakenly believed that the punch he had just received was a casual strike from Li Wudao.
If so,
How terrifying must this kid's true strength be? Doesn't that mean his recent plans are going to fall through?
Fortunately, he realized something was wrong.
"Damn it, I almost got misled by this kid. This guy is really obsessed with saving face and suffers for it. In order to become famous in one battle, he is willing to put on a show of strength even when he is not.
Qi Xingyu's face darkened, and he cursed Li Wudao in his heart.
"Damn you, I'll let you run wild for a few more days. Once we get to the secret realm, I'll see how I, this prince, will kill you!"
He defeated a challenger with a single punch, igniting a burning desire to kill and jealousy towards Li Wudao.
"Jiang Churan is the woman I have set my sights on, and no one can touch her. Since you are blocking my way, you may as well die!"
at the same time.
The sect's higher-ups have made a decision regarding the matter of Li Wudao's severely injured disciple.
Considering that it was his first time on the field and he had no combat experience, he was bound to be reckless in his attacks.
Furthermore, Fang Chang's arm could be repaired with treatment, so the matter was not pursued further.
"This guy is such a headache..."
Upon hearing that Li Wudao could continue the competition, the worry in Jiang Churan's eyes faded.
If the former is prohibited from competing, then naturally they will not be able to enter the secret realm, and the things they promised will also be impossible to fulfill.
Without realizing it, she herself didn't even notice how much she cared about Li Wudao.
"Sixth Arena, the challenge continues!"
An elder announced in a loud voice.
As soon as the words were spoken, another disciple stepped forward to challenge.
"Yan Quan, please enlighten me, Master Li!"
The newcomer was also around twenty years old, at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm.
"Why do these disciples of the same generation seem so precocious...?"
Li Wudao hadn't realized the problem yet; he only felt that his two disciples looked rather mature.
Having learned from the previous experience,
This time, he learned his lesson and decided to simmer it slowly and take it one step at a time.
"Junior Brother Yan, take this!"
As soon as the battle began, Li Wudao and Yan Quan tested each other, alternating between offense and defense, stopping short of a decisive exchange.
Thus, the two engaged in a fierce battle of over a hundred moves, going back and forth, until Li Wudao finally emerged victorious with great difficulty.
"Let's have another match, and this time I'm sure I can beat you!"
After reviewing the situation, Yan Quan spoke with unwavering confidence, his tone resolute and filled with determination to win.
however,
In the second match, Li Wudao won again, but only by a narrow margin.
Yan Quan's face turned ashen, and he left the scene with great resentment.
He couldn't understand it at all. The two were evenly matched, but he inexplicably lost both matches.
On one side of the viewing platform.
Yan Quan quietly approached Ruan Fei's side and said dejectedly in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Ruan, I failed."
"It's alright, you did a great job."
Ruan Fei wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and comforted her.
He witnessed the entire battle between Yan Quan and Li Wudao; the two fought evenly, with little difference in their strength.
Although they did not defeat Li Wudao, they greatly depleted his stamina.
This proves that Li Wudao used all his strength in that punch during the first match.
If he continues to challenge him, it won't be long before Li Wudao is exhausted, at his wit's end, and eventually defeated.
At this moment, on Arena Number Six.
Li Wudao had just defeated Yan Quan and was pretending to be panting heavily, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead.
Before long, another challenger appeared.
"Damn it, they didn't even give me a moment to catch my breath. They really found an easy target to squeeze."
Li Wudao inwardly grumbled.
He glanced up at the other person, his brows furrowing slightly.
Damn it, "匒" is a young man who looks mature, and this is the third one already.
Not right.
Li Wudao sensed something was wrong this time.
He recalled that the age limit for the entrance exam was under eighteen.
This person looked significantly older than the previous two, probably at least twenty-two or twenty-three years old.
Li Wudao secretly activated his Haotian Eye to observe.
Name: Yin Guang
【Age: 23】
[Talent: High-grade Yellow Rank]
[Realm: Perfected Blood Transformation Realm]
[Qi Luck: Low-grade Profound Rank]
[Recent Event: Following someone else's orders, intending to embarrass the host]
After reading the last line of information, Li Wudao suddenly understood.
No wonder he felt something was off; it turns out these disciples weren't newcomers.
Someone is interfering and deliberately causing him trouble!
who can that be?
Li Wudao pondered to himself.
He subconsciously thought of Qi Xingyu. This bastard dared to kill him, what else wouldn't he do?
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Because the seventh prince wants to ambush and kill him in the secret realm, he will inevitably need to enter the secret realm and enter the top ten of the competition.
In other words, he has no reason to make a fuss at this critical juncture.
The mastermind behind this is someone else.
Li Wudao's eyes twitched slightly, and he quickly thought of Ruan Fei, Sun Qian, and the young sect leader Wu Shaotian.
He had estrangement from both sides, but Ruan Fei and Sun Qian's hatred was clearly greater and they had a motive.
Moreover, although he and Wu Shaotian were at odds, they had very little interaction and had not openly broken off relations.
Therefore, all things considered, he is more inclined to believe that Ruan Fei and Sun Qian were behind it.
"After the competition ends, we must thoroughly investigate Sun Qian and Ruan Fei, that adulterous couple, and bring them to a close."
Li Wudao made a decision, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
After the competition, regardless of whether Sun Qian was involved or not, he would make both of them pay a heavy price.
These thoughts come in a flash, in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Li Wudao came to his senses and began fighting the third person.
With his previous experience, his playing style became completely solidified: to defend and wait for the attack, and to remain unchanged in the face of any change.
He becomes stronger when the enemy is strong, and weaker when the enemy is weak.
The main strategy is to be evenly matched, able to go toe-to-toe with anyone.
"Take this Monkey Steals Peaches move!"
"Catch the moon in the water!"
"The black tiger takes out the heart!"
Li Wudao spouted nonsense with a straight face, solemnly waving his fists and feet.
Although the name of the move is not very impressive, the opponent does not dare to underestimate it and treats it as a formidable enemy.
He discovered that the young man before him was indeed quite strong, able to hold his own against him and putting considerable pressure on him.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, Li Wudao emerged victorious once again.
"Ah~ what a thoroughly enjoyable performance!"
Li Wudao stretched and yawned, filled with emotion.
He almost got into character.
Sigh, it's all because my acting skills are too superb, there's nothing I can do about it.
