Chapter 260 Boundary Stone
Two. Then three. Then four.
p
The faces of every disciple in the arena were filled with despair. Someone like this was supposed to be the final boss. Not the first one on the field.
After eighteen bouts, Liu Man was obviously undefeated. He glared at the participants coldly. After witnessing the massacre that had been going on, no one dared to step up to go against him.
No one had the confidence to beat Liu Man, and in the process, lose their chance at winning a boundary stone.
This one was sure as gone now. There was not a doubt that Liu Man was going to take it home. But there were two more to fight for. Why would anyone waste their chance on a fight that they had absolutely no chance of winning?
Minutes passed by, and no one stepped up. Liu Feng obviously needed a second boundary stone, so he could not fight Liu Man for it. Regardless of the outcome, they would lose out.
The announcer did not know what to do. The fact that someone was so dominant was beyond him. After so many fights, anyone would be exhausted, making winning a boundary stone harder and harder.
But now, it looked like someone was going to do it in just ten minutes!
"It looks like no one is stepping up?" the announcer asked the participants, who looked downcast. They could just not accept the fact that they were running from this fight.
"Then we shall end it here. We shall end this bout, and award this young man here with the first Boundary stone!" the announcer shouted.
Absolute silence.
No one let a peep escape. They were still digesting the fact that a monster like this appeared out of nowhere.
Behind Liu Feng, the disciples were not saying anything anymore. They shut up instantly. This was not some person who came through connections, this was the real deal.
Liu Man calmly looked at the sect leader, who was sitting on the side. It was clear that he was the one who had the boundary stone.
"The rewards will be-"
"Given out now, thank you." Liu Man interrupted the announcer.
The sect master stood up and took out a pitch black stone from his spatial ring.
"To the winner of the first bout, the first boundary stone." he said, and the boundary stone slowly floated until it reached the hands of Liu Man.
Liu Man nodded at the sect leader, and he walked down the stairs and sat next to Liu Feng.
"One of them is over. It\'s your turn now. It has been a long time, and I am not sure when the portal to the Ancient Realm will open. It is best if you finish this as fast as you can and return. You want to get there before the portal closes back." Liu Man said.
He said it out in the open, for everyone to hear, like he had nothing to hide. Everyone looked at him wierdly.
These foreigners acted like they came from outside this world. It confused everyone.
"The second bout shall begin now. Those who wish to participate in the bout, please come to the stage." the announcer said, relieved that the monster was out of the stage now.
"Go. We do not have time to waste." Liu Man said.
"Don\'t worry. I am going. I feel like something has changed you. You are so... impatient now. Like you need to get out of here." Liu Feng shook his head, and he disappeared, reappearing on the arena before everyone else.
The speed startled the announcer. He was in the Soul Evolution Stage. Liu Feng could tell. And for a soul evolution stage cultivator to get startled, this was one fast person.
And the fast person came from right beside the one who shook the confidence of every participant here. So there was reason to be wary.
But people like those only came one in a million. One participant gathered the courage and stepped on to the stage.
"Xue Xieren, here to exchange pointers. I hope that senior brother will show mercy on me." a frail looking young girl stepped on the stage.
Liu Feng looked at her, but not for a moment did he believe the exterior that she put up. Scanning her with his Divine sense, he knew that she was in the higher levels of the Xiantian Realm.
"Liu Feng. Please." Liu Feng stood still, letting her have the first move. In fact, he did not even summon his weapon, just like Liu Man.
Xue Xieren did not say anything though. She took out a thin needle like sword, and pointed it towards Liu Feng.
"I will start now." she said, and she suddenly became dozens of afterimages at once.
Liu Feng smiled, and he raised his hand. A barrier of ice suddenly formed to his left side, and a clash could be heard.
Xue Xieren was attacking from the side, but her attack was intercepted without much effort from Liu Feng. But seeing that he was not moving at an inhuman speed like Liu Man, and that he still seemed human comforted many.
Xue Xieren started moving around, trying to attack Liu Feng, but every single time, her attack was blocked by Liu Feng. The ice that he used immediately dissolved into the air after.
"Trampling Dignity!" Xue Xieren shouted, and Liu Feng felt a sharp change in the air pressure. A big attack was coming.
Atleast, it was big in Xue Xieren\'s standards.
Liu Feng moved, and he appeared two meters to the side, completely avoiding the attack. An icicle appeared in his hands, and he moved forward in what looked slow, but unavoidable.
He held the icicle behind her neck.
"You lost." he said softly.
