Chapter 106 - Xiao Ming Gets On The Stage!
Qin Feng felt intense pain and found it hard to focus.
Clutching his forehead tightly, he tried to get up.
However before he could even regain his composure, he suddenly felt a jerk on his neck and found himself lifted in the air.
The next thing he felt was a gust of air and sudden pain all over his body.
*Bang*
Qin Feng was thrown out of the circle.
Xu Peng stared at him for a good long minute, but Qin Feng didn\'t move.
Just as Yuan Shuchun was about to call some servants to pick him up, he stood up, still clutching his forehead, he looked at Xu Peng.
Both of them had brief eye contact before Qin Feng returned to his seat, without uttering a single word. He had accepted his loss.
On the stage, Xu Peng took a healing pill, sat cross-legged, and began to recuperate.
Meanwhile, in the other circle, another battle had come to a conclusion one older Inner Court Disciple, defeated another.
And just as his battle ended, another older Inner Court disciple challenged him.
This circle\'s battles were much more intense and swift, compared to the circle for the new disciples.
To the Older Inner court disciples, the fact that new disciples were allowing the person in the circle to recuperate was just a dumb move.
This competition was based on who stayed inside the circle the longest. And the time between spars was also included.
But since Xu Peng was getting the chance to recuperate, he was also getting more time under his name, thus increasing his chances to win.
This was also the reason why he didn\'t challenge anyone, even though he was already pumped for the next spar after defeating Qin Feng.
He preferred to recuperate and wait for the next challenger.
Qin Feng\'s sabre moves had given him enough cuts to make his moments slow and painful. Thus he did need some time to recuperate.
On the throne, Yuan Shuchun was also annoyed that no one came to challenge Xu Peng, and the disciples were allowing him to recuperate. \'This is no fun.\'
She looked at her right, and with a frown, she said to the new Inner Court Disciples, "Do you guys want this guy to get the elixir? Why waste all our time with the spars then? Or you guys are not afraid of getting a headbutt, and then thrown out of the circle like a rag? Ha-ha"
As her laughter echoed through the Hall, Qin Feng, who had just taken his seat, could only clench his teeth in frustration.
However, no one was paying him any attention, because someone had stood up.
And when the disciples saw who it was, the silent hall suddenly erupted.
Because the disciple who stood up was Xiao Ming.
He jumped on the platform and put his hands behind his back.
Yuan Shuchun smiled as she looked at him and said as she leaned back on the throne, "Well, at least someone isn\'t scared. I hope to see a good spar this time."
Below the platform, Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, \'What does she mean by \'this time\'? The spar between Bai Qing\'erand Mu Xing was good enough, and the spar between Xu Peng and Qin Feng was worth watching.\'
On the platform, however, when Xiao Ming heard her words, he just smiled. He had other plans.
Xu Peng, on the other hand, stood up and took a fighting stance. His opponent was going to be one of the most powerful disciples from the new Inner Court disciples. In fact, there were only three disciples that Xu Peng considered as opponents, Bai Qing\'er, Hu Xing, and Xiao Ming.
And now that one of these three was standing in front of him, he had to take things seriously.
When Xiao Ming saw Xu Peng getting ready for a spar, he smirked and asked out loud.
"Are you even worthy?"
"What?" His words confused many people.
Xu Peng frowned, "Well, why don\'t you come in here, let\'s see if you can say that after a few punches in your gut."
Xiao Ming cracked a cynical laugh, "You really overestimate yourself. Just because you threw someone with raw strength, don\'t drown yourself in overconfidence."
As he finished, in the other circle, the outcome was decided as one of the disciples forfeited the match.
However, Xu Peng didn\'t pay attention and cracked his knuckles, "Well, we will know once you get in."
But Xiao Ming just gave him a condescending smirk and jumped into the circle for the older Inner Court Disciples.
The disciples from both sides were surprised at this move. Xiao Ming was going to challenge the older inner Court disciples!
