Showdown with Lin Xiuya

Showdown with Lin Xiuya

"What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Fa Wutian was thoroughly confused.

When Bai Cheng wanted to kill me just now, you didn't come out to stop him. But the moment I wanted to kill Bai Cheng, you immediately jumped out to stop me?

"Kid, even if you wanted to kill him, you shouldn't have acted in a place like this! There are too many people here. Once you kill him, his family will receive word within three days! As far as I know, his family has a Battle Ancestor expert! And he is a direct descendant of the Bai Clan. If you kill him now, I'm afraid you'll bring a fatal disaster upon yourself!"

After hearing Hu Gan's voice transmission, Fa Wutian immediately understood.

That really would ruin his plans for coming to Canaan Academy!

But he was still deeply unwilling to let Bai Cheng off just like that!

This book was first released on Tiantian Reading. A vast sea of novels for you to choose from, providing an error-free, properly ordered reading experience.

Seeing Fa Wutian's conflicted expression, how could Hu Gan fail to understand what he meant?

So he continued transmitting his voice. "Don't worry. Leave what comes next to me! I won't let you suffer a loss!"

Fa Wutian nodded at those words.

Then Hu Gan turned to the crowd and explained, "This old man did not act out of any intention to favor Bai Cheng. I simply understood Fa Wutian's strength. That is why I did not intervene in their earlier duel. However, Fa Wutian's attack just now had already exceeded what Bai Cheng could withstand. Therefore, I had no choice but to step in."

Only then did the crowd come to a realization.

Just now, they had suspected that Hu Gan was favoring Bai Cheng.

After all, Bai Cheng's killing move had been so vicious, yet Hu Gan had not stepped forward to stop him.

But when Fa Wutian was about to kill Bai Cheng, he suddenly appeared.

It was hard not to believe that he was deliberately favoring Bai Cheng!

However, after hearing his explanation, everyone understood what he meant.

So he had long known Fa Wutian's strength and had never worried that Bai Cheng could kill him!

Even so, the two of them had still violated the academy rules—students of the same academy were forbidden from harming one another!

With that, everyone turned their gazes toward Hu Gan, waiting to see what he planned to do!

"This old man saw Bai Cheng's attempt to kill Fa Wutian with his own eyes. If Bai Cheng had not acted out of jealousy and tried to kill him, none of what followed would have happened! Therefore, I believe Fa Wutian bears little responsibility for this incident. Bai Cheng's actions, on the other hand, were rather vile! Fortunately, no one was injured or killed. But mistakes must be punished! Therefore, I have decided to revoke Bai Cheng's qualification for this competition!"

At Hu Gan's ruling, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"Damn! Looks like the Dean is serious! He actually revoked Bai Cheng's qualification for the competition outright!"

"Yeah! That means Bai Cheng will have to wait until next year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament to enter the Inner Academy."

"Even then, he probably won't be able to catch up to Lin Xiuya and the others. After all, one step behind means every step behind—it's not just an empty saying!"

"That's right! With the Inner Academy's abundant cultivation resources, a single year is enough for Lin Xiuya and the others to widen the gap between themselves and Bai Cheng!"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Bai Cheng began to panic as well.

He did not want to waste a precious year because of this matter!

After all, in this dog-eat-dog world, only great strength could bring a sense of security!

What was more, if his family learned of this, they might strip him of his qualification as a candidate for the next Clan Head!

Thinking of this, he immediately pleaded, "Dean, I know I was wrong! Can you change the punishment? Please don't revoke my qualification for the competition?"

Hearing Bai Cheng's plea, Hu Gan pretended to be troubled. "That would be difficult! After all, a nation has its laws, and a family has its rules! If this old man makes an exception for you, how am I supposed to handle teaching and discipline in the future?"

Bai Cheng immediately wilted at those words, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hu Gan abruptly changed his tone.

"However, the matter has not yet reached the point of no return!"

Hearing this, Bai Cheng felt as though he had grasped a lifeline.

"What do you mean? Dean, whatever you require, just say it. I'll definitely do it!"

"Wasn't the cause of this matter the conflict between the two of you? If you can find a way to make Fa Wutian forgive your actions just now, this old man may have a way to restore your qualification for the competition!"

"I understand!"

With that, Bai Cheng turned to Fa Wutian.

"Tell me. What exactly do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

Fa Wutian revealed a wicked smile.

"Very simple! I thought the Dou Technique you used just now was quite good. If you're willing to part with it, I might consider it!"

"What?!! You actually want my Bloodland Eight Cracks? Do you know that it's a High-Level Black Class Dou Technique? Impossible! Change your condition!"

After hearing Fa Wutian's demand, Bai Cheng cried out in shock.

He had never imagined that Fa Wutian would have the audacity to make such an outrageous demand and seize the chance to ask for his Bloodland Eight Cracks!

Bloodland Eight Cracks was one of the few High-Level Black Class Dou Techniques possessed by the Bai Clan!

Even as a candidate for Clan Head, he was only allowed to learn one such Dou Technique!

And now Fa Wutian actually dared to set his sights on it! This was utterly outrageous!

Seeing Bai Cheng refuse, Fa Wutian's lips curled into a cold sneer.

You can't bear to part with it already? It's just a High-Level Black Class Dou Technique! If it weren't because this Dou Technique happened to be spear-based too, I wouldn't even want it!

"If you're unwilling to part with it, forget it. As for any other conditions? I think we should just forget those too. You should enjoy the rest of your life in the Outer Academy!"

With that, Fa Wutian prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Bai Cheng hurriedly stopped him.

Fa Wutian turned back and looked at him in confusion.

"What? Is there something else?"

Bai Cheng lowered his head, seeming to have made a major decision.

"I agree to the condition you mentioned just now! But you must promise me that after learning it, you won't pass it on to anyone else!"

"Fine!"

Hearing Fa Wutian agree to his condition, Bai Cheng let out a sigh of relief.

Although he had lost a High-Level Black Class Dou Technique, he had at least preserved his qualification for the competition!

What was more, the other party had promised not to spread Bloodland Eight Cracks to others.

So he had still made a huge profit!

Afterward, with Fa Wutian's agreement, Hu Gan revised Bai Cheng's punishment.

The crowd could do nothing about it.

After all, not just anyone could take out a High-Level Black Class Dou Technique as compensation!

Once this matter was over, everyone understood that Fa Wutian was undoubtedly the biggest dark horse of this tournament!

Hadn't they seen Bai Cheng, a Two-Star Dou Grandmaster, nearly get instantly killed by a single spear strike from him?

Lin Xiuya knew that he himself could not achieve what Fa Wutian had done.

Thus, in the following matches, Fa Wutian's opponents either surrendered or withdrew outright!

Fa Wutian felt helpless about this situation as well.

After all, it was not as though he had made them do it.

As time passed, the final championship match was about to begin.

"Final match: Fa Wutian versus Lin Xiuya!"
