Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 229

[Chapter 229 Crushing]

Lin Xiu had just returned to the new house and found Ning’er was also here.

Ever since Lin Xiu was promoted to the Earth Rank, Old Duke Xue had relaxed a little towards her. She was cleaning her room.

Lingyin came over and asked him, “How is it, what number did you draw?”

Lin Xiu said, “Number 12.”

Zhao Lingyin’s eyes widened, “Why is it Earth Rank again?”

In the second round of the competition, numbers 1 to 18 were all Earth Rank.

Lin Xiu shrugged and said, “Bad luck.”

Zhao Lingyin thought for a while and said, “Number 12, it seems to be Prince Changping Li Xuan. You could have drawn anyone else, but he… “

Lin Xiu was a little surprised and asked, “Is he very powerful?”

Zhao Lingyin said, “He was promoted to the Earth Rank last year. Naturally, he is stronger than us. And he will not hold back when he meets you. You should be careful tomorrow.”

Lin Xiu asked, “Why?”

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and said, “You don’t know, before you and your sister got married, he came to my house several times a year to propose marriage. I have always suspected that he was the one who ordered your assassination…”

Lin Xiu could testify to this. Lingyin wronged Prince Changping. The culprit who assassinated him was in the East Palace.

Hearing them talking, Xue Ning’er also curled her lips and said, “This Li Xuan is so annoying. These days, he has been coming to my house to propose marriage, but later my grandfather didn’t let him in…”

Qin Wan came out of the kitchen and said casually, “This person is very annoying.”

Lin Xiu was stunned and said, “He also went to your house to propose marriage?”

Qin Wan said, “When I was in the Yishu Academy, he pestered me for a while.” Lin Xiu

recalled that during the competition yesterday, there was a person who looked at him with a look that seemed to always be unkind.

So, it was not the Zhang family who plotted against him, but the Prince of Changping?

It’s absurd that the woman who coveted his woman was still thinking about plotting against him.

Do you want to defeat him in front of Ning’er and Qin Wan in tomorrow’s competition and make him lose face?

Originally, Lin Xiu thought that he was involved by the Zhang family, and even if he was defeated, he would be given some face.

This is what he asked for…

The rules of the small competition are to compete one day and rest one day. On the rest day, except for the eighteen earth-level seeds, everyone draws lots to decide the opponent for the next day.

They had to go to the training ground early in the morning. The new house was closer to the West City, so Lin Xiu stayed here tonight and went with them tomorrow morning.

The main reason was that Zhao Lingjun’s opponent did not give up this time. If Lin Xiu stayed in the wedding house, she would go with her in the morning. Lin Xiu had nothing to say to her, and the atmosphere would be very awkward.

During dinner, Zhao Lingyin said to Qin Wan: “Can we discuss something?”

Qin Wan asked: “What is it?”

Zhao Lingyin said: “If we meet in the next competition, can you not let me do that…”

She remembered Qin Wan’s opponent yesterday. She looked really stupid on the training ground.

Qin Wan glanced at her and said: “My ability is like this. If not, I can’t beat you.”

Zhao Lingyin said: “You can change another way. You must have more than one method.”

Qin Wan said: “That is the simplest. There is a simple method. Why should I use a complicated one?”

Zhao Lingyin heard this and said nothing more.

After dinner, Lin Xiu was reading in the room. Qin Wan walked in from outside and closed the door.

Lin Xiu knew what she was going to do, but when she just walked to Lin Xiu, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Lin Xiu had to walk over, open the door, and ask Lingyin: “It’s so late, is there anything wrong?”

Zhao Lingyin said: “Tomorrow I will compete with Li Xuan, he is not simple, I will practice with you for a while.”

After that, she looked at Qin Wan again and said: “It’s so late, you don’t sleep, what are you doing here?”

Qin Wan was silent for a moment, and said: “I promise you that if I meet in the competition, I won’t do that to you.”

Zhao Lingyin yawned with her mouth covered, and said to Lin Xiu: “I suddenly feel a little sleepy, I will go to sleep for a quarter of an hour, and come to you in a quarter of an hour…”

Returning to her room, she hooked the corners of her mouth as if her evil plan succeeded. In

a quarter of an hour, they couldn’t do anything too much, at most they would kiss and hug.

Speaking of kissing, if he really entered the top ten in the big competition, should she fulfill her promise?

After careful consideration, she still felt that people should keep their promises.

She is not a person who does not keep her word.

But then, where should she kiss?

Should she kiss the face, or…

it seemed that it was not made clear at the time.

…

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Xiu, Lingyin, Qin Wan, and Qianye Lin went to the training ground.

Today is the second round of the small competition. This competition will decide two hundred winners. These two hundred people will be the candidates for the big competition next year. The subsequent competitions will only roughly rank them, and there will be no more elimination spots.

Princess Minghe was also in the first training ground today, and Ning’er came soon. Beside Lin Xiu, the four beauties of the Yishu Academy gathered, and there was also Qianye Lin. Where they were, they were naturally the focus of everyone’s attention.

However, after another figure appeared, they all became foils.

People’s sight and focus also shifted immediately.

“Miss Zhao!”

“Miss Zhao is finally here!”

“Where is she, there?”

Not only the people in the stands of this parade ground were looking around, but even the geniuses from other parades and other countries were looking at that figure. Most of them were coming to Daxia for the first time, but before that, they had heard of Zhao Lingjun’s name.

When Zhao Lingjun walked to Lin Xiu’s side, Xue Ning’er took the initiative to make way for her.

Outside, she was the only one who was qualified to sit next to Lin Xiu.

The arrival of Zhao Lingjun made the entire parade ground quiet for a while, until the drums sounded, which also meant that today’s competition officially began.

A priest looked back at Zhao Lingjun and said, “The first game, Zhao Lingjun of Daxia, against Fang Ying of Nanzhao.”

Nanzhao and Nanyue were deeply influenced by Daxia in ancient times. This woman, whether in clothing or name, was no different from a Daxia woman. She walked to the stage with excitement and said in a trembling voice: “Miss Zhao, I finally meet you. I, I like you very much. Can you write a few words for me? Anything is fine…”

As she spoke, she actually took out a pen and paper from her arms and handed it over expectantly.

Zhao Lingjun smiled slightly and said, “Of course.”

She took the pen from the woman, and the paper floated in the air. She wrote a sentence on the paper to encourage the woman to practice. Although she was a woman, her handwriting was not beautiful, but there was a sense of grandeur between the lines.

After getting her handwriting, the woman from Nanzhao Kingdom was overjoyed. She carefully put it away and said to the worshiper: “I, I admit defeat…”

Lin Xiu thought it was someone who wanted to challenge Zhao Lingjun, but she didn’t expect it was a star chaser on the scene.

Judging from the girl’s reaction, she may not have slept all night last night.

The ladies of the powerful families in the royal capital don’t like Zhao Lingjun very much. On the contrary, the women of these small countries regard her as an idol legend.

This dramatic scene did not surprise everyone present.

Because it was Zhao Lingjun.

It was not surprising for her to have such a thing happen.

Zhao Lingjun returned to the stands and sat back next to Lin Xiu, and the competition continued.

There was no suspense in the next few competitions. With a huge difference in strength, all the seeds of the earth level easily defeated their opponents.

When another contestant from a small country was easily defeated by the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, the priest looked at the list in his hand and said in a deep voice: “The next match will be between Lin Xiu from Great Xia and Li Xuan, Prince of Changping County from Great Xia.”

As soon as he finished speaking, exclamations came from the stands.

“Miss Zhao’s husband, how come his luck is so bad?”

“He got the Earth Rank again?”

“His ability this time can’t restrain others, how can he win the Earth Rank?”

“He will be completely defeated throughout the whole process…”

“It’s too miserable to lose to others in front of my wife…”

…

Many people felt sorry for Lin Xiu. In front of the stands, the Zhang brothers looked at each other. Zhang Yi shook his head and said, “He really can’t keep his temper. When he couldn’t instigate, he just did it himself.” Zhang Ren looked

back and said, “Li Xuan may have chosen the wrong opponent this time.”

Zhang Yi was surprised and said, “Could it be that…” Zhang

Ren said, “My fifth brother told me yesterday that the Yuanli in his body has been suppressed by Lin Xiu. This is not the strength that the Xuan Rank should have. He should have been the Earth Rank. Li Xuan is a little too confident…”

As everyone was whispering, two figures had already walked onto the parade ground.

The Prince of Changping turned his head and looked in the direction of the stands. Zhao Lingjun, Qin Wan, and Xue Ning’er were all there.

He wanted them to see with their own eyes how Lin Xiu was defeated by him.

He wanted him to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Let him lose face under the spotlight of the crowd.

They must also know that the person they chose is nothing special.

After the gong sounded, the competition began.

The Prince of Changping had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Almost at the moment the gong sounded, the ground under Lin Xiu’s feet suddenly sank.

Lin Xiu’s figure also disappeared at that moment.

It seemed that he was caught off guard and fell into the huge pit on the ground.

The Prince of Changping sneered, and the soil around the huge pit immediately squeezed towards the surroundings,

but in the next moment, he had a warning sign in his heart, and a layer of earth armor covered his body in an instant.

Puff!

A huge force came from behind, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. The whole person flew several feet away, and the earth armor on his back shattered directly.

But this is not the end.

Before he landed, a figure appeared in front of him.

Lin Xiu flew up with one foot.

The next moment, the body of the Prince of Changping flew upwards.

When he flew to the highest point, Lin Xiu had already jumped high, bent his elbow and hit his chest. He spurted out another mouthful of blood, and the armor that had just condensed shattered again, and his body slammed to the ground.

Before he landed, Lin Xiu was already waiting for him on the ground

. So the figure of the Prince of Changping flew up again.

On the stands, most people couldn’t see Lin Xiu’s figure clearly. They could only see that the Prince of Changping was flying up and down on the parade ground. Since the beginning of the competition, his body had never touched the ground.

The user of the ability of the earth magic could not touch the ground, and he had nowhere to escape.

I don’t know how many people looked at this scene in a daze. Even the two people who were fighting fiercely in another parade ground not far away couldn’t help but stop and look at the figure flying up and down.

“This… the Prince of Changping has no power to fight back.”

“He’s too fast, so fast that I can’t see clearly!”

“Can anyone tell me, is this a Xuan-level? There is such a powerful Xuan-level?”

“Nonsense, didn’t you see the Earth-level Prince of Changping being beaten by him? This is considered powerful even for the Earth-level!”

At this moment, many figures stood up in the stands of the first parade ground.

The Prince of Changping was actually crushed.

Many Earth-level geniuses showed deep fear on their faces, thinking in their hearts, if they were the Prince of Changping, could they fight him…

The answer is… No.

He was too fast, so fast that they couldn’t react at all.

Zhang Ren looked a little serious, looking at the parade ground, and said: “Both the strange arts and martial arts are at the Earth-level, the fifth brother lost.”

Song Yuzhang also said seriously: “He didn’t even use his ability, just martial arts, he could make Li Xuan have no power to fight back, this is the strength of the top 20 of the Tianjiao list…”

He looked back and saw the woman sitting somewhere in the back, with a calm expression, and was secretly shocked.

For a long time, Zhao Lingjun’s brilliance overshadowed everyone else. No one had ever thought how powerful Lin Xiu was. It was not until this battle with the Prince of Changping that he realized that Lin Xiu’s weakness was only relative to Zhao Lingjun…

But there was only one Zhao Lingjun in Daxia, and there was only one Zhao Lingjun in the mainland. Apart from the halo of Zhao Lingjun’s husband, he was still an opponent of the same level as them.

Everyone underestimated him.
