JSCMU-Chapter 191: Do You Think I’m Stupid?

On the viewing platform.

Lin Ya remained extremely calm as he watched.

However, the hand hidden within his sleeve clenched slightly.

He didn’t say anything, because there was no need.

On the arena stage, the rules were clear. As long as no one was killed, he had no grounds to intervene.

Even Yu Songnian himself might not want him to interfere.

His disciples were all born with proud temperaments.

Yu Songnian normally might not talk much, but his pride ran no less deep than anyone else’s.

Although he’s now covered in wounds, he’d never considered giving up.

Lin Ya could tell that Yu Songnian was still trying hard to find a chance to counterattack.

No matter the final outcome, this match would be a valuable experience for him.

“Peak Master Lin,” Zhao Wuji suddenly chuckled, “I must apologize. My eldest disciple has a bit too much fun. And your disciple, despite the overwhelming difference in strength, still refuses to admit defeat. If this goes on, he might truly injure his foundation.”

He eagerly glanced at Lin Ya, waiting to see a flash of rage.

But Lin Ya was too calm.

He sat there like a block of ice. In response to Zhao Wuji’s words, he simply said, “Songnian, that child, has always had a mind of his own. He’ll make the right decision.”

Zhao Wuji frowned. Lin Ya’s composure displeased him. He raised an eyebrow and added, “That’s true. The sect rules are clear. No matter what, Xiao Jun wouldn’t kill Yu Songnian. But eventually, once the byes are over, Xiao Jun will face off against your most beloved little disciple. I wonder if she will still be as lucky when the time comes?”

There was a faint malice in his words.

Ruan Jun wouldn’t kill Yu Songnian. There was no need.

But Yun Jin?

If it were Yun Jin, covered in wounds, could Lin Ya still stay this calm?

And when it came to fighting Yun Jin, Ruan Jun would absolutely not hold back.

At that time…

He would unleash all his fury, and torment Yun Jin to death, bit by bit.

Isn’t that scene exciting?

Just imagining the scene made Zhao Wuji excited.

A mere new disciple dares to think she can change Tianxing Sect? Dares to challenge my authority? Then she brought everything that happens today on herself!

Yun Jin…

Lin Ya lifted his gaze to look at his little disciple.

Yun Jin was currently watching the fight intensely, her eyes fixed, as if trying to etch every detail into her memory.

For the first time, Lin Ya had a feeling that.

This time, Yun Jin was truly angry.

She had faced her fair share of schemes before, and had always struck back. But when the tricks were aimed at her, she never seemed truly enraged.

This time was different.

The one getting hurt was someone by her side.

Her Third Senior Brother was silent and reserved, but was always quietly watching out for her.

Rage surged like flames in Yun Jin’s heart and in her eyes, burning unrestrained.

Very well.

She originally only planned to cleanly lop off Ruan Jun’s head.

But now, he would  also have to taste every bit of pain her Third Senior Brother was suffering, one slash at a time!

On the arena

Ruan Jun was getting more and more excited.

Yu Songnian had no room to fight back, left at his mercy as Ruan Jun inflicted wound after wound. For anyone else, maybe it wouldn’t matter. But this was Yun Jin’s Third Senior Brother.

He could even see Yun Jin’s furious eyes watching him.

That’s how it should be!

An enraged Yun Jin would fight with emotion and her rationality would be weakened.

Even though his victory was guaranteed, a little extra caution wouldn’t hurt.

Indeed.

Ruan Jun didn’t just want to torment Yu Songnian. More importantly, he wanted to rattle Yun Jin emotionally, so she’d lose her composure in battle, making his victory even more secure.

But at the exact moment Ruan Jun looked toward Yun Jin beneath the arena.

Yu Songnian’s eyes changed.

After dodging for so long, he had finally lulled Ruan Jun into lowering his guard, even taking time to observe Yun Jin’s reaction.

That meant…

Now was the time to strike back!

A hidden dagger suddenly appeared in Yu Songnian’s hand.

He endured a blow head-on, and in the next instant, his figure vanished like a ghost, reappearing behind Ruan Jun.

He had hidden his sword for years. In every match before this, Yu Songnian never drew this life-bound small sword.

But now, he did!

The longer one hides a sword in the Hidden Sword path, the stronger it is when finally drawn.

And Yu Songnian had hidden this sword for ten whole years.

When the sword light finally came out, Ruan Jun instantly sensed something was wrong. But it was too fast to dodge, Ruan Jun could only instinctively raise his defense.

In that instant, the entire arena was engulfed in sword light.

No one could see what happened inside.

What’s going on?!

Zhao Wuji suddenly jumped to his feet.

Yu Songnian’s sword strike was terrifying.

The power of Yu Songnian’s sword strike was simply astounding. If Ruan Jun really lost here, it would be the greatest humiliation!

The sword light slowly faded.

Yu Songnian stood pale-faced in a corner, soaked in blood, yet his eyes still shone with fierce brilliance.

He did it.

He seized the perfect opportunity, and struck with absolute precision. No matter what happened next, he had given his all.

And that meant no regrets.

Ruan Jun stood in the center of the arena. On his chest, a massive bloody hole appeared.

At the last moment, he had twisted his body, so the blade didn’t pierce his Dantian.

The hole in his chest was already healing and rapidly fading.

Yu Songnian felt some regret. The gap between their cultivation was too wide, even a sword hidden for ten years could only do this much damage.

Ruan Jun’s expression turned completely deranged.

After exiting seclusion, he believed himself to be the number one among the younger generation, destined to crush this competition.

But now?

Before even making to the top 7, he was injured! And he was injured by Yu Songnian, whom he had been toying with like a cat playing with a mouse!

Humiliation. This is utter humiliation.

The look in his eyes turned wild.

Originally, he just wanted to humiliate Yu Songnian.

But now? Although he couldn’t kill him, he would destroy Yu Songnian’s cultivation for good.

Ruan Jun’s curved blade began to gleam with strange, ominous light. This time, he wasn’t going to hold back.

Just as he was about to strike, Yu Songnian, who had been standing near the edge of the arena, suddenly smiled. And then, he directly jumped off the stage.

Ruan Jun: “????”

His attack launched with full force, but only hit the arena’s barrier, causing no ripples at all.

Beneath the arena, Yu Songnian waved casually, “Senior Brother Ruan is incredible. I concede.”

Ruan Jun’s mind shattered.

You concede?!

Right now?!

“The match is over! The winner is Ruan Jun!” the judge announced.

But the winner, Ruan Jun wore a dark face and was clearly not pleased.

Meanwhile, Yu Songnian, the loser, looked relaxed, chatting cheerfully with others from Heavenly Sword Peak.

Ruan Jun stormed down with a black face. He coldly sneered at Yu Songnian, “Coward.”

Yu Songnian just smiled, ignoring him.

He wasn’t stupid.

He had already used up his trump card. What was the point of stubbornly fighting to the death, knowing that he couldn’t beat Ruan Jun?

He might not like to talk much, but that didn’t mean he had something wrong with his brain.

If Ruan Jun was saying things like that, maybe he’s the one with brain damage?

Yu Songnian’s eyes clearly conveyed that exact thought.

Seeing that, Ruan Jun choked. Furious, he turned and stormed off.

Ever since Yun Jin joined the sect, everyone from Heavenly Sword Peak had become infuriating beyond belief!
