Chapter 936 : First duel
Chapter 936 : First duel
everyone was caught off guard by he chun hua's words, including lin fan.
he thought that there would be some kind of recognition between he chun hua and huang xie because of the title that bonded them.
but it turned out that there wasn't this meaningful bond between them at all.
it seemed like he chun hua only cared about one thing, how to become more powerful.
in her mind, she thought that being the direct disciple of the sect master was the best way to achieve this goal.
after learning that lin fan was the sect master of the love sect and the status of the love sect in the mu empire, the way that he chun hua treated lin fan completely changed.
there was a bit of respect in the way that she treated him, but it was more that she wanted more power from him. she wanted him to become her master, so that she could have the best resources and the best mentor to guide her path.
that was why she was challenging huang xie.
he had what she wanted, so she thought that the best way to get it was to challenge him and take it from him. continue reading on empire
or at the very least, she thought that it would at least let her demonstrate her power.
she didn't seem to think much of huang xie, or it was better to say that she was confident in her own power. though that meant that she was looking down on huang xie too much.
there was a reason why huang xie had the title of heaven's chosen in the first place.
he chun hua just knew too little about the love sect to begin with even if she had been told a few things.
huang xie had an awkward look on his face after being challenged like this.
it didn't seem like he was going to rise to being challenge like this and instead turned to look at lin fan as if he was asking, "master, what is going on here?"
lin fan just gave him a look back saying, "i don't know."
he seriously didn't expect things to develop like this, so it would be impossible for him to say that he knew what was happening.
seeing that huang xie wasn't saying anything in response, he chun hua narrowed her eyes to look at huang xie before saying in a taunting voice, "are you scared?"
there was a bitter smile that appeared on huang xie's face when he heard this.
he wasn't actually threatened or angered when he saw he chun hua taunting him like this. since she was still a child, he treated it as the naughtiness that a child should have when she taunted him.
he didn't seem like he wanted to take her seriously at all.
this wasn't something that was missed by he chun hua.
when she saw the way that huang xie treated her, there was a part of her that was angered by this. after all, she didn't want to ever be looked down on by anyone ever again.
she had stepped into the role of the senior sister of the love sect.
but it wasn't the same for huang xie.
when he heard xiao ming, his dear senior sister being mocked like this, he couldn't help losing control of his temper. even if the insults weren't that good, he still couldn't stand her being insulted at all.
as such...
"alright, if you want to duel, then let's duel." huang xie said in a voice that didn't have any ripples in it. it seemed like he was calm based on his voice, but the look in his eyes showed a different story.
he chun hua was surprised to hear this, but this was what she wanted to see in the first place, so she gave a simple nod in response.
after that, huang xie turned to look at lin fan as if he was asking for permission.
lin fan shook his head with a sigh before waving his hand and saying, "make sure that you don't hurt yourselves. this is just a friendly spar, so don't take it too far."
"of course." huang xie said, but the look in his eyes seemed to be saying something different.
he chun hua just gave a simple nod, but it seemed like she had other ideas as well.
with permission given, everyone quickly convened at the training area.
it didn't take long for the news that huang xie was dueling with the new disciple to spread around the sect. it seemed like there were people that were even willing to bet on this as there were several groups of disciples exchanging money with each other.
though what was more concerning was how there were elders that were making bets as well.
this was something that lin fan had noticed before, but it seemed like the elders liked to have fun as much as the disciples.
it had reached a point where it might be a problem if he didn't do anything about them.
at least they had the awareness to hold themselves back for now, but if this continued...
once they were both prepared, the fight began.
though the duel began, it didn't seem like huang xie was planning on making a move as he just stood there. he looked like he was just waiting for he chun hua to make the first move with the way that he stood there.
but in he chun hua's eyes, it seemed like he was looking down on her.
that actually made her gather even more power in her arms as she positioned herself as if she was about to punch huang xie. while she was in this position, there was this white light that appeared around her arms that seemed to be the power of her physique gathering.
however, even though he could see that she was gathering her power, huang xie didn't seem worried about her blow at all.
he chun hua was annoyed even more when she saw this, so when she stepped forward to attack huang xie...
"die!"
