Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 844 You Lost

Ye Qing turned her head and saw a man who looked to be in his twenties walking towards them from the other side!

Ye Qing glanced at it, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The man had short hair and a well-proportioned build. He was holding a sword in his arms and wearing a yellow robe. He was looking at Ye Qing with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

"So you're Ye Qing?" Huang Jue asked, holding his sword. "You're quite arrogant, daring to challenge this young master!"

Ye Qing frowned, and with his hand on the hilt of his sword, he placed his hand on it.

He was anxious about Lin Qianyu's situation, so he wanted to end his battle as soon as possible.

"What the hell are you doing!" Huang Jue saw Ye Qing about to draw his sword and quickly said, "Calm down!"

"Let's finish this as soon as possible!" Ye Qing said.

"I abstain!" Huang Jue shouted at that moment.

Ye Qing frowned and said, "Abstain?"

He remembered that there was indeed such a rule in the previous explanation: when the champion is challenged, he can give up the match so that he will not be eliminated and can challenge again, but he only has one chance!

Ye Qing was surprised that the other party had chosen to abstain.

"Are you sure?" A voice came from above the screen.

"Confirmed, confirmed!" the voice rang out.

"Alright!" At the same time, the voice above the screen continued to sound: "Island No. 35, the reigning champion Huang Jue has forfeited, and Ye Qing has become the new champion. Both sides are requested to leave the arena within ten minutes! Switch areas!"

Ye Qing sheathed his knife and looked at Huang Jue with a puzzled expression.

"When you said you wanted to end the battle quickly, did you mean you wanted to end me quickly?" Huang Jue said, looking to the other side. "Was that woman who challenged Huo Zhen with you?"

"My wife!" Ye Qing said, looking at Huang Jue. "Why did you abstain?"

"To be honest, I've already won twenty matches. I thought I wouldn't have anything to do for the next few days, and I could just get my spot tomorrow. But I never expected you to challenge me like this. It's really a headache!" Huang Jue said with a wry smile. "And some people inside even told me to forfeit. I'm so conflicted!"

“In fact, just now, I was considering whether to forfeit, because if I lose, I’ll be eliminated!” Huang Jue said. “But you, you just drew your sword. Damn it, you didn’t take me seriously at all. I knew you were extraordinary. I don’t need to fight you to the death. I have a feeling that even if I win, it will most likely be a Pyrrhic victory. If anyone challenges me again, I will lose!”

"So... if you want, I might as well give it to you and I'll challenge another arena!" Huang Jue rubbed his forehead.

"Did someone ask you to abstain? Yuexi?" Ye Qing asked.

Huang Jue came over and stood next to Ye Qing. When he heard the name Yue Xi, he looked at Lin Qianyu on the distant stage and said, "Brother, you're pretty good. Your wife is so beautiful. When Yue Xi saw your name, she immediately ran to the window to look at the stage. Is Yue Xi also your confidante?"

Ye Qing glanced at him and said, "Don't overthink it. Yuexi and I are just ordinary friends!"

Huang Jue's expression shifted slightly as he said, "That's good. I thought you and Yue Xi had some kind of ambiguous relationship! Never mind, I'll be going now!"

With that, he waved his hand and walked to the other side, saying, "I hope we can all go to Gamma Star tomorrow and have a go at the geniuses there!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Okay!"

Looking at Huang Jue's retreating figure, he thought Huang Jue was quite an interesting guy!

However, just as he took a few steps, a fiery red light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Flames blazed brightly on Huo Zhen's body.

At the same time, an immense pressure emanated from Lin Qianyu.

"Hmm?" Huang Jue felt the oppressive aura and suddenly stopped, turning around to look into the distance. He asked, "Brother, is your wife a martial artist? Doesn't she have any special abilities?"

Ye Qing was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Wow, although this sword intent is only at the level of sword heart, the true energy and pressure it exerts are already comparable to the mid-stage of the extraordinary realm!" Huang Jue exclaimed, "The strength of a martial artist's true energy is truly monstrous!"

"Thirty years old, a martial artist at the extraordinary level? How... did he do that!" Huang Jue murmured.

A martial artist is someone without any special characteristics who walks the path of martial arts.

Because they lack special characteristics, it is extremely difficult for them to pass the awakening stage. This requires their bodies to endure immense pain in order to pass this stage, and every step thereafter is far more difficult than for awakened individuals!

Their talents are far inferior to those of the Awakened, so the pain and suffering they have to endure are also considerable! They also need to spend much more time on it.

Of course, the advantage is that after their physical strength and true qi merge, their true qi strength is much stronger than that of awakened individuals at the same level!

However, their actual combat strength is somewhat inferior compared to others of the same level.

Its strength is unmatched by any superfluous true energy.

Heaven is not fair to everyone.

“Although he’s a martial artist, your wife is still in danger. That Huo Zhen is very strong; even I’m not absolutely certain I can defeat him,” Huang Jue said. “You should…”

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

The two quickly exchanged blows, their swords clashing constantly, sparks flying everywhere.

"Tsk tsk, interesting. Without relying on special abilities, he's actually able to fight Huo Zhen to this extent." Huang Jue exclaimed in amazement, "Impressive!"

"It's over!" Ye Qing smiled slightly. He didn't look over there anymore, but walked directly towards the passage in the distance!

Huang Jue's eyes flickered slightly as he watched Ye Qing's retreating figure.

"Changhong!"

Just then, a delicate shout rang out!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qianyu took two steps back, and sword energy floated around her as she swung her sword!

Countless sword energies converged and, like a rainbow, rushed straight towards Huo Zhen!

"What an exquisite move!" Huang Jue was startled.

"Get out!" Huo Zhen roared, wielding his knife with both hands and swinging it out!

Flames and sword intent intertwined, surging upwards with a roar.

The two moves collided in mid-air.

However, the sword energy instantly crushed the flames and the intent of the blade.

At the same time, Lin Qianyu stepped forward and arrived in front of Huo Zhen in an instant.

Huo Zhen's expression changed; it was too late for him to retreat!

"Zheng!"

The longsword stopped about a centimeter from his neck. Lin Qianyu looked at him coldly and said, "You lost!"
