Chapter 201
“Do you think he can win this time?” Princess Fragrance asked on the sailing ship.
Yun Xiao and Liu Peng didn’t answer right away. Huangfu Hua’s defeat was like a hard slap in the face. The princess’s attitude towards them had become much colder.
Yun Xiao knew they would be driven off the ship if he didn’t do anything to defend himself.
“Princess!”
He said emotionally, “This guy was holding back intentionally so that his rivals would look down on him, then he took the opportunity to win. It was a scheme, but he definitely can’t defeat his current rival in such a despicable manner. Wind Mark is ranked 29th on the Eternal Flame List.”
Princess Fragrance nodded. Huangfu Hua was ranked 83rd, while Wind Mark was ranked 29th. There was a gap of fifty-odd places between them.
Besides, the higher one’s rank was, the bigger the gap in ability was. In this sense, ten Huangfu Huas couldn’t compare to Wind Mark, but Princess Fragrance couldn’t help thinking about the slim chance.
Wind Mark was suddenly frozen there.
The aggression in what Jiang Chen said at that moment and what he had said before the fight was no worse than Wind Mark’s comment.
The two of them, a swordsman and a knife expert, provided the perfect contrast.
“I’ve changed my opinion. He’s a knife user. That knife attack was very pure,” Lu Fei said.
After a long while, Wind Mark still couldn’t accept the facts, but he managed to stand up and say to Jiang Chen, “Your name is?”
“You’ll know when I take my mask off,” Jiang Chen said.
Wind Mark gnashed his teeth. He left the square without looking back.
People held different opinions about this fight.
Some thought there was no honor in Jiang Chen’s victory. He had intentionally held back his strength and exerted such a fierce knife movement when Wind Mark was off guard.
Although it was because Wind Mark had underestimated his enemy and been arrogant, his admirers and his female fans couldn’t accept his failure.
Jiang Chen’s mask became their target to attack.
“How treacherous he is.”
“If Wind Mark had been careful enough, he would have won.”
“Hiding behind a mask, not daring to show people his face. He must be a scoundrel!”
But of course, there were reasonable people around, too. They couldn’t stand such remarks and started to argue with the others.
“The masked man never said he was weak, nor did his behavior show he was weak. He even acted tough to Wind Mark before the fight.”
“Exactly. Wind Mark was too arrogant to pay respect to others. Does he need his opponents to show off to make him realize they’re powerful?”
“You fans are so blind. Disgusting.”
Those present split into two groups. One group was in favor of Jiang Chen, while the other supported Wind Mark.
“Why shouldn’t he let Wind Mark know he’s powerful? He should have declared his strength to others first. That would make him a respectable rival, but now, this is a victory without honor,” a fat woman with pockmarks on her face was accusing Jiang Chen emotionally.
This was also the opinion most of Wind Mark’s supporters held.
“You can’t deny his strength. If this had been a life-and-death fight, Wind Mark could have died due to his stupidity!”
“But this wasn’t a life-and-death fight!”
The two parties were arguing intensely. Some people were even close to blows.
“Enough!”
Chu Luo couldn’t put up with the situation anymore. She came forward, looked towards those outside the square and said something surprising.
“Wind Mark doesn’t deserve my apprentice brother’s serious attention, even holding back his strength.”
It was indeed a strong argument against Wind Mark’s supporters.
What she meant was clear. Wind Mark wasn’t comparable to Jiang Chen. Their strengths weren’t on the same level. Of course, it was impossible for him to hold back his strength to fight against Wind Mark, but the thing was, was Jiang Chen really that powerful?
“Wasn’t that knife attack the masked man’s most powerful special movement?” people couldn’t help but think.
“Chu Luo, you’re going too far. You’re claiming Wind Mark didn’t rival the masked man in martial arts technique. If those people aren’t convinced, they’ll act even crazier!” Meng Feifei said worriedly.
It was true. Chu Luo’s words didn’t stop the quarrel in the square, even escalating it.
“They’ll see apprentice brother’s power later.”
