Chapter 17: Champion

"The final match: Fa Wutian versus Lin Xiuya!"

As the referee's words fell, the Inner Academy Selection Tournament finally reached its last decisive battle!

After stepping onto the dueling platform, Lin Xiuya looked at Fa Wutian before him with envy written all over his face.

"Who would have thought that the person with the highest cultivation in the Outer Academy would actually be a first-year junior?"

"Just luck."

Hearing Lin Xiuya's praise, Fa Wutian answered modestly.

"Luck? Haha, you're far too humble. This is Canaan Academy! Who among the students here isn't exceptionally talented? Yet you stood out among so many people and even surpassed us old students who have studied here for two or three years. How could that possibly be because of luck? Everything you've achieved is the result of your own hard work!"

Fa Wutian could only respond with a smile to Lin Xiuya's flattering words.

"Enough of that. Although I know I'm not your match, I still want to see just how wide the gap between us is. So, come!"

With that, Lin Xiuya immediately drew his sword and assumed a battle-ready stance.

Fa Wutian's interest was instantly piqued.

All his previous opponents had trembled in fear at the sight of him.

Yet Lin Xiuya was different from them. He actually had the courage to face him head-on!

No wonder this man would establish Wolf Fang a few years later and become the second-ranked expert on the Strong Ranking!

It seemed some things were simply ingrained in one's bones!

With that thought, Fa Wutian began taking this worthy opponent seriously.

"Please enlighten me!"

The moment he spoke, the two clashed.

At this point, neither of them used Dou Qi. They relied entirely on physical strength!

They looked like ordinary people brawling!

But only Fa Wutian and Lin Xiuya knew that both of them had gone all out.

This was the ultimate clash between sword and spear!

One wielded a spear, changing endlessly like a swimming dragon; the other held a sword, swift and sharp as a cheetah, his techniques elusive and unpredictable.

For a time, their attacks came as fast as lightning, and no one could catch sight of their movements!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

After several hundred exchanges, the two finally determined a victor!

The tip of Fa Wutian's Flame Spirit Spear was less than half an inch from Lin Xiuya's throat!

Meanwhile, Lin Xiuya's sword had somehow been knocked flying to the side by Fa Wutian!

Everyone was stunned by the sight.

"I never thought Fa Wutian's spear techniques would be this strong. Even Lin Xiuya wasn't his match!"

"Yeah! I really wonder how that guy cultivates!"

"Wow, Fa Wutian, you're so handsome! I want to have your babies!"

Everyone who heard that felt a wave of envy.

Turning toward the voice, they saw a burly female student covered in freckles staring at Fa Wutian with a lovestruck expression!

Clearly, those shocking words had come from her mouth!

Everyone felt immensely relieved.

Thank goodness, thank goodness! Her target wasn't them. Only Fa Wutian could possibly handle a woman like that.

At that moment, Fa Wutian also noticed the commotion.

The instant he saw the woman, he froze in shock.

However, he quickly recovered and merely treated her words as a joke, laughing them off.

After returning Lin Xiuya's sword, he said directly, "Earlier, we competed in weapon techniques. The real contest has only just begun!"

"Alright!"

Lin Xiuya immediately agreed.

"Then be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fa Wutian's figure flashed. He swung the Flame Spirit Spear, conjuring the image of a swimming dragon!

"Take this—Sea-Seeking Swimming Dragon!"

Sea-Seeking Swimming Dragon was a Mid Xuan Tier battle skill!

When Fama saw Fa Wutian practicing spear techniques, he had spent a great sum exchanging for it from another empire!

The next instant, the swimming dragon appeared behind Lin Xiuya. Its dragon claw slammed downward, viciously smashing toward Lin Xiuya's shoulder!

Seeing this, Lin Xiuya did not dare lower his guard and immediately counterattacked.

"Willow Fluff Sword Formation!"

The moment he spoke, streams of azure sword aura emerged around Lin Xiuya.

They then transformed into a sky-filling sword formation and charged toward the swimming dragon!

"Boom!"

Both attacks were incredibly powerful, and the collision erupted with a deafening blast.

Then, the swimming dragon and sword formation canceled each other out, dispersing into wisps of fiery light.

Lin Xiuya was secretly shaken by the sight.

The Willow Fluff Sword Formation was his strongest battle skill at present! Its grade was as high as High Xuan Tier!

Yet it had merely canceled out a casually used move from Fa Wutian!

It seemed Fa Wutian's cultivation was far more than that of an ordinary Dou Grandmaster!

Just as Lin Xiuya was marveling at this, Fa Wutian suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to withstand my Sea-Seeking Swimming Dragon! It seems you do have some skill. But I wonder what you'll use to block my next move?"

Fa Wutian was also quite surprised that his opponent had blocked Sea-Seeking Swimming Dragon.

He had not expected a Four-Star Dou Grandmaster to withstand his attack.

It seemed the battle skill Lin Xiuya had used was of no low grade!

However, after fighting for so long, Fa Wutian gradually lost his patience and prepared to end the battle with Dragon Spear Wild Dance!

After all, continuing would only reveal more of his trump cards!

Seeing Fa Wutian prepare to use the battle skill he had used against Bai Cheng, Lin Xiuya immediately gave in.

"Wait, I concede!"

Seeing that, Fa Wutian hurriedly stopped his movements.

"You're conceding already? You're not even going to struggle a little?"

Lin Xiuya rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Do you hear yourself? If I really tried to save face and took that move head-on, I'm afraid you'd have to scatter even my ashes!"

Fa Wutian was embarrassed by those words.

He was right! As a Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster fighting a Four-Star Dou Grandmaster, he was already bullying the weak. If he used an Earth-Rank Battle Skill on top of that, wouldn't he be trying to kill him?

Still, there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, if he did not use Dragon Spear Wild Dance, he would have to reveal other trump cards or directly use the power of a Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster!

It was worth mentioning that during the battle just now, he had only used the strength of a Four-Star Dou Grandmaster.

That was why he had been unable to defeat Lin Xiuya for so long. Otherwise, he would have knocked Lin Xiuya flat long ago.

After all, the greater the difference in realm, the more immense the difference in strength.

Not to mention that his cultivation was five stars higher than Lin Xiuya's!

"Fine, then. Since you've already conceded, we'll leave it at that!"

With that, Fa Wutian put away the Flame Spirit Spear.

Even then, Lin Xiuya did not forget to make a declaration.

"Fa Wutian, you won this time! But don't get smug! One day, I'll definitely catch up to you!"

With that, he leaped off the dueling platform and left the area.

Watching his departing back, Fa Wutian smiled faintly.

This Lin Xiuya was rather interesting!

Still, judging by his attitude, Fa Wutian's future days would not be easy!

After Lin Xiuya conceded, Fa Wutian naturally became the overall champion of this tournament!
