Chapter 78 Outwit
“Tuoba Ye, I want you to know that you defeated Luo Xiao Tian by fluke and not by your strength.” Liang Tian coldly said.
Tuoba Ye smiled: “Sir Liang Tian, I really look forward to competing with you, I want to let you know that new disciples also have the strength.”
The match still hadn’t begun but the two already seemed to be at odds with each other.
When the judge declared the start of the match, the two released their formidable auras.
“Tuoba Ye, I will let you make the first move!” Liang Tian said, smiling.
He did this not because he had good intentions.
Liang Tian was an expert at defense, his offensive power couldn’t be said to be too strong, he defeated his opponent mainly by relying on his defense and counterattacking. He let Tuoba Ye attack first, so that he could leapfrog him.
He knew Tuoba Ye’s speed was astonishing, he would definitely not be able to hit Tuoba Ye if he struck first.
Because of that, Liang Tian allowed Tuoba Ye to make the first move, pretending to be an expert.
Tuoba Ye had two lives’ experiences and could immediately make out Liang Tian’s thoughts.
“Sir Liang Tian, I respect my seniors, you are a senior, make your move first, okay?” Tuoba Ye said, smiling.
Liang Tian naturally didn’t think Tuoba Ye had seen through his thoughts, he could only feel miserable, why did Tuoba Ye have to be modest?
“You are my junior, better for you to make the first move, right? If I make the first move, you won’t have even a little chance.” Liang Tian boasted shamelessly.
Surrounding spectators couldn’t make head or tail out of the situation when they saw Tuoba Ye and Liang Tian didn’t make any moves.
“Fight! What are you standing around for?”
“Make your moves fast, why are you dawdling?”
……
Many spectators were not satisfied with this situation as they shouted loudly.
Tuoba Ye was casually standing in his place, carrying the Tiger Beheading blade. He didn’t have any wish to make a move.
Seeing the situation, Liang Tian knew he couldn’t wait for Tuoba Ye to make the first move.
“Tuoba Ye, since you modestly declined, I will make a move!” Liang Tian didn’t want to give grounds for talk as he warned first.
He moved and punched out, his fist shadows seemed to have substance as they went straight for Tuboa Ye.
Liang Tian was shrewd, he wanted to force Tuoba Ye to make the first move.
Only if Tuoba Ye made the first move, could Liang Tian find an opportunity to defeat him.
Tuoba Ye didn’t receive Liang Tian’s attack head-on, he just moved his body a little and dodged the attack.
“Your attack power is insufficient, speed is also bad.” Tuoba Ye shook his head while a.s.sessing Liang Tian.
Liang Tian’s complexion became very unsightly, he originally had violent temperament, how could he endure this?
“Kid, you are going to die!”
Liang Tian became furious, and without making any plans, he directly charged at Tuoba Ye.
He didn’t have an attack type Spirit tool, but he had a defense Spirit tool on his body.
He cultivated body refining technique, so his physical defense was very astonishing but with a Spirit tool protecting his body, his defensive strength became extremely shocking.
But his attack power was indeed a little worse, if his attack power could compared to his defense, he absolutely could be a favorite to enter top ten.
Liang Tian began to charge straight on, which was what Tuoba Ye planned.
If Tuoba Ye used strength to defeat Liang Tian, his strength would be revealed and he didn’t want that so he could only use a little plan.
Actually, it couldn’t be called planning, it was just using speed to consume Liang Tian’s Yuan Force and then defeat him in one strike.
Liang Tian attacked violently in his anger, just what Tuoba Ye wanted.
Liang Tian was very powerful but his attacks weren’t even able to touch Tuoba Ye’s clothes, let alone defeat him.
“Too bad, Liang Tian fell into a trap!” Jue Wuqing sighed.
“Tuoba Ye is too cunning, first angering brother Tian and now, he is exhausting his Yuan Force.”
Lei Ting smiled: “Boring, this Liang Tian is too stupid, he won’t be able to bring out Tuoba Ye’s strength.”
Her words were directed towards Tuoba Ye but in fact, she was insulting Liang Tian.
Yang Bin and others were very happy because they wanted to insult Liang Tian but they didn’t dare to do that as they were afraid of infuriating the Ten Extremes group’s members.
Although Tuoba Ye was very powerful, Yang Bin and others’ were too weak, so they didn’t dare to provoke those old Outer Sect disciples.
As Lei Ting had spoken, the Ten Extremes group’s members not only didn’t dare to be furious, they even agreed with her.
“Miss Lei Ting, that Liang Tian is really too stupid and was easily angered, otherwise he could have forced Tuoba Ye to show his real skills.” said Jue Wuqing.
“I can see that, he is really making a fool of himself.” Lei Ting said seriously.
Liang Tian made fierce attacks for a while, his Yuan Force consumption was very big, he finally calmed down and stopped his attacks.
But this moment, he was already suffering because there was not even half of his total Yuan Force remaining inside him.
With the remaining Yuan Force, he would be able to use the defense Spirit tool only few times, so how would he hold back Tuoba Ye’s attacks.
While Liang Tian was feeling depressed, Tuoba Ye began his attacks.
He urged his Tiger Beheading blade and used blade lights to make long-range attacks.
His attacks were very fast, and even though Liang Tian tried to dodge it, he could only dodge a few portion of the attack.
Without any choice, Liang Tian used his defense Spirit tool to protect his body.
His Yuan Force consumption increased a lot more upon using the defense Spirit tool.
Liang Tian had no options even after seeing his Yuan Force continue to decrease. He wanted to attack Tuoba Ye but Tuoba Ye didn’t fight him head-on, leaving him no alternatives.
“Tuoba Ye, receive my attacks if you have skills, it disgraceful to win like this.” Liang Tian shouted loudly.
He shouted loudly because he wanted his voice to spread to the spectators too so that Tuoba Ye would be forced to have a stand-off against him.
Tuoba Ye smiled: “Liang Tian, your Yuan Force is almost exhausted, I would be stupid to do as you say when my victory is certain. You can say I am despicable and shameless, but I won’t fulfill your wishes.”
He didn’t engage in close-combat, but used long-range blade lights to attack Liang Tian.
Liang Tian tried to go near but Tuoba Ye would quickly retreat and maintain a fixed distance.
“Tuoba Ye is too despicable, actually using such rogue strategy.” said Jue Wuqing.
Lei Ting smiled: “Tuoba Ye is indeed quite a rogue, but he doesn’t have any other options. And he could be said to be a little clever, otherwise the one to lose would definitely be him.”
She was clearly inclining towards Tuoba Ye, Jue Wuqing also felt this and didn’t speak anymore.
As for those spectators, the ones in front could hear Tuoba Ye and Liang Tian’s conversation, they commented one after another and those in favor of Tuoba Ye were much more.
Those who were able to join a Cultivation Sect were not foolish, they naturally won’t fight against the opponent’s strong points with their weak points.
If Tuoba Ye met Liang Tian head-on, those people would definitely insult him as an idiot.
Being able to outwit the opponent, Tuoba Ye definitely wasn’t a reckless fool.
When Liang Tian’s Yuan Force was nearly exhausted, Tuoba Ye used the Battle Tyrant Dragon’s blade, the blade light looked like a tyrant dragon as it struck Liang Tian’s body.
Liang Tian didn’t have enough Yuan Force to use the defense Spirit tool, so he couldn’t block Tuoba Ye’s attack.
“Aahh!” The attack was very heavy, Liang Tian was sent flying out of the tournament platform, vomiting blood along the way.
“Tuoba Ye wins!”
Tuoba Ye walked off the tournament platform, Liang Tian stood up with difficulty and looked at Tuoba Ye with hatred.
“Sir Liang Tian, many thanks for letting me win! But, you still lost so you have to give me the three thousand Yuan Force pills.” Tuoba Ye said, smiling.
“Pu!” Liang Tian spurted out a mouthful of blood again, his complexion was pale: “Don’t worry, I will give the Yuan Force pills to you. But I won’t accept my defeat, we will again compete in the future and you must meet me with force then. If you dare to compete, I will make even bigger wager.”
“No problem. After the year-end great tournament ends, if you still want to compete with me, then I will definitely accept your challenge.” Tuoba Ye said, smiling.
Returning to the viewing platform, Liang Tian handed over the wagered Yuan Force pills to Tuoba Ye. Even though he was resentful, he didn’t go back on his promise.
He couldn’t act shamelessly in front of so many people.
“Leader, why didn’t you immediately defeat Liang Tian?” Lei Ting whispered.
“The tournament has only begun, no need to show off strength.” Tuoba Ye said calmly.
Tuoba Ye could indeed defeat Liang Tian easily with his strength, but he didn’t do so.
He had already decided to not reveal his Divine Strength cultivation base, unless absolutely necessary.
Tuoba Ye’s Divine Strength cultivation base was already at the great circle of the first stage and even exceeded the strength of the first stage great circle, but he hadn’t made a breakthrough to the Divine Strength second stage - a realm of being able to pull apart mountains and rivers.
Every stages in the Divine Strength nine stages was a great step across, none of them were easy to breakthrough.
Tuoba Ye had tried to attack the bottleneck many times but he failed every time and so, he had no choice but to hold it back for the time being.
Of course, his Divine Strength cultivation base still progressed but its speed was many times slower.
If his Divine Strength cultivation base reached the second stage - strength to pull apart mountains and river, he wouldn’t need to be worried about revealing his strength.
Even now, if it was necessary, he could reveal a part of his Divine Strength cultivation base.
He knew that careful cultivation had no use, one must make a move when the time deems it necessary, attack the enemy and move forward.
“Really, why are powerful compet.i.tors who can force out your strength, not appearing?” Lei Ting looked depressed.
Tuoba Ye laughed and said: “Miss Lei Ting, then do you know my strength?”
“Don’t know, which is why I want to know.” said Lei Ting.
“You will know of it, slowly!” Tuoba Ye said calmly.
“Leader, look, Jian Yi is coming over.” Yang Bin said, suddenly.
Tuoba Ye turned around to look and sure enough, Jian Yi was coming over.
Lei Ting’s complexion changed slightly when she saw Jian Yi but didn’t say anything.
“Leader, this Jian Yi’s talent is excellent but he hasn’t joined any group, do we invite him to our Ten Extremes group and increase our group’s strength?” said Lei Bao.
Lei Bao was one of the deputy leaders of the Ten Extremes group, he was very powerful and was a favorite to enter the top ten in this year-end great tournament.
Jue Wuqing thought and said: “I will personally feel out in a moment, if Jian Yi joins our group then it naturally is a good thing.”
“Jian Yi absolutely is a favorite to enter top ten, he would be a great a.s.sistance, if we could rope him in.” Lei Bao.
Soon after, Jian Yi walked near the Ten Extremes group’s viewing platforms.
Jue Wuqing stood up and had a smile on, as he said: “ h.e.l.lo sir Jian Yi, I am Jue Wuqing, Outer Sect leader of the Ten extremes group!”
“I know you, what is it?” Jian Yi’s tone was very cold.
Tuoba Ye could see that Jian Yi had no good impression of Jue Wuqing.
But Jue Wuqing was thinking of a good outcome, so he naturally didn’t pay attention to the subtle look on Jian Yi’s face.
“Sir Jian Yi, I sincerely invite you to join the Ten Extremes group. As long as you agree, I will immediately give you the position of a deputy leader. In the future, when you become an Inner Sect disciple, you can be a leader.” Jue Wuqing said, smiling.
