TGM Vol.1 Chapter 35 – Final (3)

Chapter 35 – Final Match (3)

“Brother Dianzheng!” The Shaoyang disciples below cheered loudly, and Linglong even jumped on top of the boulder, almost falling down.

As soon as Pian Pian saw his partner’s wrist injured, he immediately withdrew his sword and looked at the wound on her hand before asking, “How is it, did you hurt your tendon?”

Yu Ning’s face was pale, and he stared at Dian Zheng as if he were some kind of demon. “No…It’s just that I won’t be able to hold my sword for two or three days.”

Pian Pian sheathed his sword into the scabbard, arched his hand to the other side, and said loudly,, “Brother, your martial arts is good. I commend you.”

This proves that Dianzheng has won the match and there is another Shaoyang Sect member among the top four. The cheers of the Shaoyang disciples below almost overturned the sky.

Dianzheng smiles, and the sword in his hand plays a trick with the white light, followed by a whoosh, and gently tossed it at Yuning opposite him She raises her hand to receive it with a complex look, her lips moving as if she is about to say something, but in the end she says nothing.

Dianzheng said in a deep voice, “Last time at the flower hairpin competition, Dianzheng lost to the two of you because of his incompetence. But this time, thanks to your kindness, I have overstepped my bounds.”

After saying this, he turned around and surrendered to the cheers of his fellow Shaoyang disciples, who were cheering him on, smiling from ear to ear.

His face was full of smiles. “This is what we call a raised eyebrow! This is great, brother!. It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

“What revenge?” Ling Long asks him repeatedly.

Du Minxing smiled and said, “Last time, you and Xuanji were still young and didn’t see the Flower Hairpin Competition. In the first match, Senior Brother Dianzheng lost to Pian PIan and Yu Ning and his left leg was broken in half by Yu Ning. Fortunately, Elder Wo Yang took good care of him for half a year and he recovered. The fact that he can now move so quickly is not only a miracle, but also the result of Brother Dianzheng’s intense training.”

“Wow, this Yu Ning is so cruel!” Linglong was indignant, “Brother Dianzheng should have broken half of her arm tendons this time too!”

Du Minxing shook his head, “It’s not for an immortal cultivator to retaliate unjustly. What’s more, as a woman, towards Yu Ning should have been more generous. If he wins this competition, his efforts will not have been in vain.”

In the middle of the conversation, the three of them are already off the stage. Dianzheng is already surrounded by a crowd of excited Shaoyang disciples, and even Chu Lei is shocked and comes to encourage him.

YuNing covers her wrist, but someone has already bandaged it up for her. She was staring at Dian Zheng with a complex, odd look in her eyes, as if he were some kind of monster.
This time, Dianzheng overwhelmingly wins without any trickery. In five years’ time, Pian Pian and Yuning will both be over twenty-five years old. The rules of the Hosta tournament dictate that contestants must be between eighteen and twenty-five years of age, and they who had the highest hopes of winning the championship have failed.

Dongfang Qingqi, however, tried his best to comfort his two best disciples, saying, “There is a heaven beyond the sky and a man above the earth. The Flower Hairpin Tournament is just a process, the outcome of which is up to you. Don’t feel bad. This failure is a lesson to you both, and you will be stronger in the future.”

Pian Pian still looked unconcerned on stage, but his pride and sense of victory were strong. He lost his battle with the sword to an unarmed man, and the sword was taken away from him. It was really embarrassing. When he heard his Master’s comfort, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and he trembled, “This disciple . . . understands.”

After Dianzheng walked away from the crowd and came here, holding a black lacquered wooden box in his hand.

“The sword is merciless. I’m sorry for hurting Miss Yuning’s wrist. This is Shaoyang’s special gold medication, which is very good for wounds. I hope you two will accept it.”

Dongfang Qingqi laughed, “You’re too kind! Oh, Yu Ning, take it, thank you, brother!”

Yu Ning lowered her eyelashes, slowly took the medication and whispered, “Thank you….Brother Dianzheng.”

With a straight smile, he said softly: “Tighten up with a bandage after applying the medicine, and tomorrow will not hurt anymore. In that case, I shall take my leave.” He turned around and left.

Yuning’s eyelashes flickered as if she was about to say something, but in the end, she did not.

When Pian Pian saw her like this, he smiled and said, “If you have something to say to him, you should say it before it’s too late. In two days’ time, we’ll be returning to Fuyu Island. I don’t know when we will see each other again,” he said.

Yu Ning, pale, whispered after a long while, “Don’t worry about it.”

Pian PIan only laughed and said nothing more.

“In my opinion, Brother Dianzheng and that wicked woman, Yu Ning, probably had some sort of implacable disagreement that we don’t know about.” Ling Long blinked her eyes wide and looked at them for a while before she came to this serious conclusion.

“How do you know?” Xuanji was curious.

Like a thief, Ling Long lowered her voice in an overly aggressive manner, “Didn’t you see the way she looked at Brother Dianzheng! Is that normal to look at? She’s about to drop her eyeballs! I think it’s because she likes Brother Dianzheng, and he doesn’t like her, so she got angry and hurt Brother Dianzheng.”

“There’s still such a thing.” Xuanji, I can’t believe it. Ling Long’s imagination is so vivid, it doesn’t make sense!

“How can that be ? These grown-ups…….humph! How complicated their affairs are.”

When Du Minxing saw that she was shaking her head and talking so confusingly, he smiled and said: “Your little brain is thinking such complicated things. You’ve been thinking about this all day long, and Brother Dianzheng and Yu Ning have never touched each other, so there’s no implication. Stop guessing. The last match of the day is about to begin.”

The ring has been tidied up, and the judge in charge of the match, Chu Yinghong, has also stood at the edge of the ring and said in a loud voice: “Please go to the Blue Ring!”

As soon as she said that, she saw two shadows leaping into the ring at the same time, and once Linglong saw the face of one of them, she couldn’t help but say, “It’s him! That bastard!”

The crowd looked at him, but saw that he was a pale man with black hair and slim eyebrows, and although he was pretty, there was another uncomfortably cold and cunning look about him. It was Wu Tong.

His opponent was a fellow disciple of the Dianjing Valley, both dressed in black, with long hair hanging from their shoulders, they looked like twin brothers.

“The disciples of Dianjing Valley are so yin and yang, I hate it!” Linglong hates Wu Tong, hates the other boy, and even all the disciples of Dianjing Valley, hate it..

“Remember, don’t use any spell that is too powerful. Don’t hurt anyone’s life, and if that happens, you’ll be disqualified from the Flower Hairpin Tournament.”

Chu Yinghong emphasized this rule while looking at Wu Tong. She was still reeling from his previous actions, so the elders had set an additional rule for the Flower Hairpin Event: no spells like the Five Thunders should be used to prevent a recurrence of the uncontrollable situation.

Wu Tong’s lips flicked open in a mocking smile, apparently unconcerned.

Chu Yinghong is not happy to see him being stubborn and cunning. Dianjing Valley is also regarded as a veteran sect. They always pay attention to self-cultivation. The disciples taught there are always gentlemen. It was the first time she had seen such a mischievous student in Dianjing Valley, but she did not know how the virtuous elders of Dianjing Valley could tolerate him.

The horn soon sounded, and Wu Tong’s contest began.

The Shaoyang Sect disciples booed him one after another. His previous behavior of hurting Xuanji made them indignant. Now they all share the same hatred of the enemy, and they have thrown the thoughts of hating Xuanji out of the clouds, shouting one by one very energetically.
