679 : Black-Bellied Qiao WuXing

Zu Ma was strong, true, but they couldn’t be certain that other mages wouldn’t go after her and stall her. Black Spider had anticipating such an occurrence, so they had the two do their best to avoid the commotion and win the match.

The two were like Qiao WuXing and Jiu Ye, and had chosen similar paths, inevitably bumping into each other in the latter half of the match.

“Shidi, leave Jiu Ye to me. You go and deal with Qiao WuXing.” Yan Hui said to Su Lang, face dark. He knew Qiao WuXing and Jiu Ye’s approximate strength. The two might’ve been outshone by You XiaoMo, but their strength couldn’t be underestimated, especially Jiu Ye. His cultivation level was even higher than Qiao WuXing’s.

Su Lang was at the peak of grade two while Jiu Ye was already grade three. He didn’t have much of a chance.

As expected, Su Lang neered. “You’re only grade two as well, just closer to advancing. Do you think you can beat him?”

Yan Hui didn’t bother arguing, just saying calmly, “If you want, I’ll leave him to you.”

Su Lang went silent.

On the other side, Qiao WuXing shot Jiu Ye a look. Jiu Ye nodded, his mouth curving into a cruel smile.

Their genius had merely been overlooked because there was someone even more of a genius. However, they were still geniuses, and they had plenty of battle experience. Though they resided in the peaceful ZhongXin City, they often went out with their masters. They might not have as much battle experience as practitioners, but Su Lang, who had grown up so well-protected, couldn’t compare at all.

Qiao WuXing smiled helplessly. He knew that Jiu Ye had been holding back for a long time already.

Yan Hui soon found himself facing Jiu Ye. As for Su Lang, he reluctantly arrived in front of Qiao WuXing. They were both grade two, so this would a test of their endurance.

“I hear that you’re the number one genius in all of TongTian Continent?” Qiao WuXing gazed at Su Lang, giving a soft smile, yet his words struck like knives.

Su Lang was stunned for a moment, but then when he processed what he was hearing, his face paled. The three words ‘number one genius’ had now become nothing more than humiliation, and he could no longer feel any joy from hearing them.

“Grade two at such a young age. You truly are a genius, but unfortunately, you aren’t worthy of such a title yet. I know someone your age who’s even stronger than you, but he’s grade six already.” Qiao WuXing smiled even as he delivered blow after blow, revealing his black-bellied nature.

He he he he!!!

There was no way that Su Lang didn’t know that Qiao WuXing was talking about You XiaoMo. Though the two technically didn’t have any bad blood between them, his hate for You XiaoMo grew steadily. The veins on his head bulged in his anger, his eyes opened wide. Qiao WuXing could even see the red lines in his eyes.

“Idiot! It’s a trick!” Yan Hui’s frustrated voice suddenly sounded in his head.

Su Lang’s attention wavered and before he could even react, pain lanced through his head, almost like his soul had been torn asunder, his skin paperwhite from the pain. He could vaguely see the smile on Qiao WuXing’s face as the other looked at him.

Su Lang supported himself against the exquisite jade stone, steadying his swaying form. When he managed to recover from the pain, his soul power had already dispersed in the maze. Just a few seconds and he was already defeated? His eyes widened in disbelief.

“So what if you’re a genius? You’re still too green.” Qiao WuXing smiled, gentle and elegant. If this was all it took to ruffle his feathers, then he really wasn’t much. Even without You XiaoMo, he was far from the title of number one genius.

Hearing his words, a murderous aura erupted from Su Lang. He was going to murder this person. But before he could do anything, the guards dragged him away. Those who lost had to leave immediately. However, they could still hear Su Lang’s cursing as he was dragged far.

Qiao WuXing couldn’t hold back his laughter.

A young man who couldn’t accept losses, seems like his master wasn’t very responsible.

On the other side, Yan Hui was a little frustrated at seeing Su Lang defeated so easily, but he didn’t regret it at all. Su Lang really was useless, acting this way at the slightest loss. He really didn’t know what his master saw in this guy.

He didn’t want to admit it but he felt a hint of delight upon seeing Su Lang defeated.

That was when a cold voice spoke into his ear,“You seem rather happy?”

Yan Hui whirled to face the other. The owner of the voice was the expressionless Jiu Ye, his cold eyes seeming to pierce through his thoughts. His face immediately became cold.

Jiu Ye didn’t need a reply from him. Qiao WuXing’s battle had ended, so there was no need for him to keep dragging this out. He attacked furiously, blow after blow and Yan Hui was practically helpless against his assault.

Yan Hui glanced at the motionless Qiao WuXing nearby. He couldn’t even hold up one on one, never mind one on two. After realizing this, he didn’t continue, retracting his soul power at the soonest opening. This time, it wasn’t his fault that they failed, so even if his master punished him when he got back, he wouldn’t have to bare the brunt of the blame.

Jiu Ye didn’t bother chasing the other.

Qiao WuXing smiled. “What should we do next?”

Jiu Ye looked towards You XiaoMo. He was currently blocking the seventh exit and Zu Ma was practically hyperventilating in anger. If she went back, then she might not be so lucky as to find a different exit. This time it was pure coincidence that she got here, but she didn’t have much of a chance against You XiaoMo.

“What do you want to do?” Jiu Ye asked.

They both wanted the grade water, and with You XiaoMo there, they could obtain it, but there was only one portion of grade water. He was stronger than Qiao WuXing, and had a better chance, but after defeating Su Lang, Qiao WuXing didn’t leave. Otherwise, he would’ve gotten first place by now.

A gentle smile spread across Qiao WuXing’s face. “I have an idea…”

While the mages in the maze were still facing off, a resounding voice echoed through the plaza.

“Qiao WuXing and Jiu Ye have tied for first place.”

Zu Ma was about to spit blood. She had finally realized that You XiaoMo was actually here just to cause trouble for her, and prevent her from getting first place.

You XiaoMo smirked maliciously, still remaining where he stood with no intention of moving.

After first place was decided, second, third soon came after… The mages stopped fighting, so the places were taken one after the other. Even You Quan had managed an eighth place, but it was no use to him. He was so enraged that he could cough blood.

In wasn’t until the ninth place was taken that You XiaoMo casually wandered into tenth place.

The once holy maiden hadn’t even gotten into the top ten in this Mage Assemblage, never mind first place! Zu Ma’s rage boiled over, causing her to cough up blood.

And thus, the Mage Assemblage came to a wonderful curtain call!
