Chapter 950: Reversal
Hou Ziping, Huang Miao, and those Inner Court disciples who had bet on Fang Bai to win had their hearts lodged firmly in their throats, their gazes intensely focused on Fang Bai.Hou Ziping and Huang Miao were worried that Fang Bai would get injured, while those betting on Fang Bai’s victory were afraid they would lose their cultivation resources.
Thus, they were all eagerly hoping for Fang Bai to win the duel.
However, ever since the duel began, Fang Bai had been forced to continuously retreat. Now, with no way out unless he could "burn his boats" and withstand Yang Lin’s attacks before counterattacking.
Yet, it seemed highly unlikely!
Fang Bai continued to retreat; his heels had already stepped into the lake water, splashing droplets everywhere.
"Junior Brother Fang, you’ve lost!"
Yang Lin shouted loudly, his martial artist aura rising again as True Yuan wildly circulated around him, remarkably unleashing twelvefold potential. He soared into the air, his right leg, carrying a torrential force like a steel whip, lashed out in his strongest strike towards Fang Bai.
This strike was Yang Lin’s commitment to victory, intending to severely injure Fang Bai.
"Sweeping Mountain Kick! Who would’ve thought Junior Brother Yang managed to master this martial arts technique!"
Huang Miao’s pretty face turned pale as she murmured to herself.
The leg technique displayed by Yang Lin was a very powerful martial art from the Bitao Martial Academy, known for its fierce and mighty force, embodying the power to sweep across mountains—hence the name "Sweeping Mountain Kick."u Hu, who had long occupied the top spot, might not be a match for Junior Brother Fang.
Junior Brother Fang, with his Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root, had always kept a low profile, but today he had shown his might and made his mark, causing all present Inner Court disciples to regard him with new respect.
It was foreseeable that, starting from today, the positions of both Hou Ziping and Fang Bai within the Inner Court would rise significantly, and they would receive even more attention from the higher ranks of the Martial Academy.
Fang Bai’s victory caused mixed reactions among the Inner Court disciples; some were joyful, and others were distressed. Those who were distressed had naturally lost their Cultivation Resources, while those smiling had undoubtedly won.
However, at that moment, very few Inner Court disciples were truly concerned with winning or losing. What mattered more to them was how the rankings on the Inner Court disciples’ combat power list would change in the future.
Hou Ziping and Huang Miao both heaved sighs of relief. The heavy burden lifted from their hearts, and their faces showed signs of letting go of a heavy load.
"I just knew that Junior Brother Fang would surely win!" Hou Ziping excitedly waved his fist.
"Why were you so certain that Junior Brother Fang could win?" Huang Miao asked with a smile.
She had previously lost ten thousand Essence Stones and hundreds of Elixirs to Fang Bai, but now, having won so much, she could make up for the deficit. She felt indescribably happy.
"Because I ... Because Junior Brother Fang is a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root, his talent is exceptional, and his Cultivation Level is not inferior to Junior Brother Yang, so it was only natural for him to win," Hou Ziping almost blurted out that he himself had advanced in strength thanks to Fang Bai’s guidance but managed to revise his words in time.
Huang Miao always felt that Hou Ziping was hiding something, and after giving Fang Bai a meaningful look, she nodded in agreement, "You make a good point. With such an extraordinary talent as Junior Brother Fang has, it’s only natural that he defeated Junior Brother Yang."
After a pause and a sigh, she added, "Junior Brother Yang Lin’s strength is only slightly less than mine. If Fang Bai can defeat him with ease, then he is capable of defeating me. I have no choice but to give up the second position on the Inner Court disciples’ combat power list."
