Chapter 53: Dispute Arises, Exchange of Challenge Letters
"Alright, Qingfan," Xū Qīngjiǎo walked out of the shed from the north and said, "Qīngliú is also anxious about his son - Qīngliú, you can hand over the hosting duties for this meeting to Qingfan first. Zhēngmíng's injury is not light, take him back to rest."
Xu Qingliu had an excuse, hastily nodded in agreement, glared fiercely at Xu Yang, jumped off the stage and picked up Xu Zhengming.
Xu Yang, after knocking down Xu Zhengming, returned to his calm and composed demeanor, the powerful aura that had just burst out was completely retracted, and the mysterious energy emanating from his body was not visible at all. Standing there, he looked like an ordinary young Xuanwu disciple.
However, no one is foolish enough to think that Xu Yang is just a Xuan Wu level cultivator. The sudden burst of power just now made it clear to everyone that Xu Yang has already condensed his Xuan Wheel and is a genuine Xuan Master!
"So that's it, I've cultivated the Xuanmen technique of concealing one's breath." The doubts in Xu Zhengxian's mind were dispelled.
"The first match of the family competition, Xu Yang wins," Xu Qing loudly declared after being entrusted with the hosting duties. "The second match, Tian No. 2 Xu Zhengyuan, Di No. 2 Xu Zhengtu."
The fight between the two martial artists was nothing special, Xu Yang didn't pay attention to it. After he jumped off the stage, he saw Xu Yu bouncing and pouncing into his arms, happily saying: "Brother, you're so amazing."
Xu Yang smiled and patted Xu Yu's head, the fat ball struggled out of Xu Yu's arms and climbed onto Xu Yang's shoulder.
It's strange to say that since Fei Qiu was brought home by Xu Yang, every time it was Xu Yu who fed it food, and Xu Yang rarely paid attention to it. But Fei Qiu is still very close to Xu Yang, and this closeness has made Xu Yu jealous more than once.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Xǔ Yuè asked somewhat dazedly as she was led by the hand by Xǔ Yáng.
"Judging from the crowd, it's still early for my next match, probably in an hour," said Xuyang. "There's nothing good to watch in these people's matches, let's go sit in the garden."
"Xu Yang, halt." A haughty voice came from behind.
Xu Yang turned his head and saw a fair-skinned, tall boy staring at him with wide eyes.
"Anything wrong?" Xǔ Yáng asked lightly.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Zhengchun," the pale youth said with an icy gaze. "Xu Yang, I underestimated you, didn't expect you to actually advance to the Xuan Shi realm and hide your true cultivation so sinisterly."
Xu Zhengchun? Xu Yang had heard of him, and according to rumors, he was one of the outstanding young men of the Linwan Xu family, on par with Xu Zhengxin, the eldest grandson of the main house, both were the hopes for the future of the Xu family.
But this has nothing to do with Xuyang. Hearing his words laced with thick sarcasm, Xuyang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"You may have defeated Zhengming, but you're not without weaknesses," Xuzheng Chun said. "Your physical strength is indeed formidable, but you've only just entered the realm of Xuanwu, and your Xuanli cultivation is weak. As long as I don't let you get close to me for a melee fight, competing in Xuanwu techniques, you definitely won't be my match."
"Winning and losing are not decided by what one says." said Xu Yang.
Xu Zhengchun's two eyebrows stood up. He didn't expect that by lowering his own value and taking the initiative to talk to Xu Yang, this waste would still be so garrulous and completely unreserved in showing disdain for him!
Unforgivable!
"Alright, very well," Xǔ Zhēngchún laughed in anger. "I hope you can persist, when I meet you again, I will let you know the difference between a true genius and a waste like you. I guarantee your outcome will be ten times worse than that of Zhèng Míng."
"What's your number?" Xu Yang asked quietly.
"Tian Zi No. 5." Xu Zhengchun proudly held up the wooden sign in his hand and coldly smiled, "In three more rounds, you and I will meet on the arena."
"It won't take long now," Xu Yang looked around the field and shouted loudly, "Who is Di Zi No. 5?"
Not far away, a dark-skinned young man from the Xu family held up a wooden sign: "I, I am."
"Now I'll give you a choice, use the fifth-grade wooden plaque to exchange for the first-grade one in my hand," Xǔ Yáng shook the wooden plaque in his hand, "Are you willing?"
The young master of the Xu family was apparently stunned by this sudden good fortune and only came to his senses after a while, saying: "I'll exchange it! I'll exchange it!"
When he received the wooden plaque, this dark-skinned youth suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. He was Di Character Fifth, and in the first round, he would be facing Tian Character Fifth, Xu Zhengchun! There wasn't a shred of hope.
Xu Yang's representative, Di Zi No. 1, has already won one round and now needs to exchange the wooden plaque in his hand for Di Zi No. 5. What does this represent? He doesn't need to participate in the first round of trials and can directly advance to the second round! Most importantly, he doesn't have to face that overly powerful Xu Zhengchun.
Each round of the Xu family's grand comparison has a generous reward, with Xuan Shi Dan medicine, Gong Fa Ling treasure, and everything else. The dark-skinned young man rushed over as if he was afraid that Xu Yang would regret it, and handed the fifth place card to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang smiled faintly and handed over the first place prize.
This small exchange was seen clearly by Xu Qingbang on the high platform. However, he didn't say anything, apparently acquiescing to Xu Yang's rule-breaking behavior.
Xu Zhengchun watched with wide eyes as Xu Yang exchanged for the fifth-grade wooden plaque, his pale face already purple with rage.
This is an outrageous insult!
"Trash, moron! You've successfully enraged me!" Xǔ Zhèngchún gritted his teeth and cursed, "I swear, I won't let you get away with this, I swear, you'll pay the price!"
"He's so scary..." Xǔ Yú pulled on Xǔ Yáng's arm, her small body shrinking back as she hid behind him and said in a timid tone.
Xu Yang stroked his sister's soft hair and comforted her with a sentence, while his starry black eyes stared at Xu Zhengchun.
"Now, you've also successfully enraged me." Xǔ Yáng said word by word, and on his shoulder, the fat ball bared its teeth and growled menacingly at Xǔ Zhèng Chún, but its meatball body and short legs didn't have much intimidating power.
The Xushi family members who were watching scattered with a "boom" and spread the news.
"Do you know, Xu Yang changed his license plate!"
"Change the license plate?! Isn't this against the rules?! Uncle Qing doesn't care about managing it!"
"What's the big deal? You know which one Xu Yang swapped with? Di Zi Wu Hao!"
"What?"
Incredible gasps of amazement echoed throughout the arena, as Xu Zhengxin and Xu Zhengchun, two mid-term geniuses among the Xuanwu disciples, had their badge numbers called out, drawing everyone's attention.
Xu Zhengxin has the Heaven No. 9, Xu Zhengchun has the Heaven No. 5, everyone is very clear about this. Now Xu Yang actively changed back to the Earth No. 5 plate, what does this represent? This is almost a direct challenge to Xu Zhengchun!
In the next three matches, the Xie family members lost a lot of interest, and their eyes were directly cast on the fifth group, which was the match between Xie Zhengchun and Xie Yang.
"One is a mid-term genius of Xuan Shi, one is a strong man who defeated Xu Zhengming, who will win?"
"I've been keeping an eye on Xu Zhengchun, he had already condensed his Xuan Wheel a year and a half ago! With another year and a half of accumulation, this is no joke."
"Xu Yang is also good, one punch defeated Xuan Shi's initial Xu Zhengming, and his combat power is estimated to be not much worse than Xu Zhengchun."
"It's definitely going to be a fierce battle, and it'll be exciting to watch!"
Xu Yang and Xu Zhengchun's battle has not yet begun, but the atmosphere in the arena has already been ignited. And without anyone realizing it, Xu Yang's fifteen-year reputation as a waste has disappeared.
