Chapter 5197 The Unwilling Xue Jianfeng
Xin Yijie and the other disciples of the green cloud School were speechless. Lie yingzu was not a particularly talented disciple, but he had always been a steady man. It was rare for him to perform badly. Today, he had performed so badly that he was completely useless. It was a total embarrassment.
Plop! Lie yingzu was once again sent flying by a cold kick. He struggled for a long time, unable to get up. A normal person in his situation would have already chosen to surrender. Lie yingzu was not the type of person who would hold on until the end. However, he had been struck so hard that he had lost his soul. Other than a few subconscious movements, he had completely forgotten about surrendering.
Seeing lie yingzu's state, Leng Leng couldn't help but furrow her brows. She had no relationship with her opponent in the past or present, so she naturally wanted to stop when she could. She had never thought of being ruthless. However, lie yingzu still refused to admit defeat, so she could only continue fighting until his opponent admitted defeat or simply fainted.
Unexpectedly, just as Leng Leng was about to knock him unconscious, her entire body suddenly froze. The aura around her began to surge wildly. The inexplicable aura caused the surrounding people to be secretly shocked. Not only that, but the crowd even felt that this scene was familiar.
"It can't be?" Lin Yi was the first to react, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This girl was going to repeat the scene of her breaking through on the spot!
Very quickly, the other people present also reacted. One by one, they looked at each other and exclaimed in shock,""He's going to break through again? Didn't he just break through the day before yesterday? What's going on?"
"One breakthrough per match? Is that true?" Even Xue Jianfeng was dumbfounded. In the last round, he had broken through from the late stage to the peak of the late stage of the foundation building realm. This time, if everything went well, he would break through from the peak of the late stage to the perfected stage of the foundation building realm. Wasn't this speed of improvement a little too exaggerated?
What he didn't know was that Leng Leng had taken quite a few of Lin Yi's Supreme-grade foundation-level golden pills during her practitioning a few months ago. Although she didn't break through immediately, there was a huge undigested medicinal effect left in her body.
If it was just normal cultivation, it might take a few months for the medicinal power to be fully released. But now, it just happened to be in time for the trial Competition. Facing a strong enemy of the same level, especially in the tense atmosphere of the competition, Leng Leng's essence, Qi, and spirit were all adjusted to the best state. Under such circumstances, it was easy to release the medicinal power in advance, and naturally, a breakthrough became a matter of course.
That was why he was able to achieve a legendary breakthrough and advance two levels in three days!
Lin Yi knew this inside story very well, but the others didn 't. They thought that it was purely because of Leng Leng's talent. She wasn't just a genius, she was a super genius among geniuses!
For a moment, coold's status in everyone's hearts rose by a large margin. She was originally just a genius disciple with a little bit of fame, but now, she was like Ling Tianyou, who had a thousand blades flying in the air. She had become a top-notch figure leading the younger generation of the small Jianghu in the ancient times.
The process of breaking through could be long or short. If it was purely due to accumulation, perhaps it would only take the blink of an eye. However, coold had broken through for the second time in three days. No matter how much medicinal power she had accumulated in her body, it would be difficult for the entire breakthrough process to be smooth-sailing.
Just like now, the aura all over Leng Leng's body was obviously unstable. By the looks of it, even if she could successfully break through in the end, it would take a lot of time.
However, the crowd did not show any dissatisfaction at all. It was a rare experience for them to be able to witness coold's legendary breakthrough after breakthrough. It would be the best topic to brag about in the future.
However, as everyone was waiting, the dazed lie yingzu finally regained some of his senses. When he saw Leng Leng standing not far from him, he subconsciously retaliated, causing the crowd to cry out in surprise.
"Bastard!" Lin Yi's eyes flashed with killing intent-he was about to take care of this piece of trash, but before he could do so, Xin Yijie had already rushed in and sent lie yingzu flying with a slap.
"What are you doing, Shishu Xin?" Xue Jianfeng said unhappily. He had been hoping that lie yingzu would interrupt Leng Leng's breakthrough. At that time, not only would Leng Leng not be able to advance to the next level, but she would also suffer a severe backlash. If she was unlucky, she might even lose her life. This was a great opportunity that he had been looking forward to, but he never thought that it would be ruined by Xin Yijie.
"As you can see." Xin Yijie's expression was extremely unsightly at this moment. If lie yingzu had only shamed Beidao's Green cloud sect because of his lack of strength, it would have been fine. At most, he would have been ridiculed for his lack of talent. But now, he had actually done such a shameless thing. This was intolerable!
If he didn't make a move and Leng Leng's breakthrough was interrupted by lie yingzu, then the entire green cloud sect in the North Island would be nailed to the pillar of shame, and they would become the laughingstock of the entire small Jianghu in the ancient times.
Not only that, but he'd be offending Lin Yi as well. Xin Yijie even suspected that if he hadn't slapped lie yingzu away first, the guy would've been a corpse by now.
"Martial uncle Xin, although you're the martial uncle leading the team, you're also the only judge of the competition. Is it appropriate for you to interfere in the process of the competition so openly?" Xue Jianfeng sneered. In his opinion, this was a ready-made handle that had been delivered to his door.
Everyone turned to look at Xin Yijie. As the judge, he had to always maintain his objective and neutral stance. Logically speaking, as long as the battle was not over, no one, including Xin Yijie, was allowed to interfere. No matter how despicable lie yingzu's sneak attack was when coold was breaking through, it was still allowed by the rules. Xin Yijie's actions were too arbitrary.
Xin Yijie looked at the crowd, and his gaze finally landed on lie yingzu, who had been knocked unconscious by him. He snorted coldly. "Don't forget, in addition to the two identities of martial uncle and judge of the Grand competition, I am also an elder of the North Island's Qingyun school. I am just disciplining the disciples of my own school and did not harm anyone's interests. Does it matter?"
