Chapter 245 - Fame From One Battle!
A black mist had crept up behind Helian Wei Wei, all the light seemed to be absorbed in an instant, and it became dark.
Nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard. It became extremely quiet up on the stage.
Helian Wei Wei was enveloped within it, she could not distinguish directions, let alone see the movements of Helian Jiao Er.
Just when everyone thought that Helian Wei Wei was dead for sure!
A shadow walked out of the black mist, flowing long hair, radiant appearance, as if the surrounding martial qi had no effect on her whatsoever!
Helian Jiao Er stared in shock!
She reached out, wanting to use the opportunity to kill Helian Wei Wei!
Her sharp sword was unexpectedly stopped on the other end.
Helian Wei Wei did not seem to notice her fingers were cut, she tugged with force and pulled Helian Jiao Er right in front of her.
And then!
Her body turned like a whirlwind, her slender legs lifted high and she kicked viciously!
Boom!
That kick was thunderous!
The sound of the wind that cut through the air was so loud that everyone’s ears were ringing!
There was no action at all. Just a perfectly executed kick.
The person that was kicked created a high arc!
And…Landed on the stage heavily…
Helian Jiao Er lay on the cold ground in the dark. She had not felt any pain, and did not know what had happened. The dizziness started spreading.
The crowd exploded!
A person who possessed no martial qi had defeated someone who nearly mastered the peak of the Golden Step!
This was really unheard of!
“Wait, look at what is on her body!”
“That that’s……martial qi!!!?”
Yes, it is martial qi. Almost invisible, like a stream of air turning into a breeze around Helian Wei Wei, forming a faint barrier.
Unlike everyone else’s air, the air that surrounded her was colourless!
What characteristic was this?
Everyone looked at each other, the shock was incredulous!
Sat in the elegant room inside was a man with ivory hair. He had a smirk and a playful smile on his face.
“Master.”
Shadow took a step back, his nails black.
“The plan has failed.”
The man took a sip of his tea and did not appear surprised by the result. His eyes dark and voice heavy: “I know, go on.”
“Yes.” Shadow hesitated, then said: “Do I still serve the antidote to the young masters and misses that drank the tea?”
The man blinked: “No. I wanted to see who counteracted my poison.”
“Yes.” Shadow retreated..
Sunset came, Helian Wei Wei stood on the stage and looked down at Helian Jiao Er who she’d kicked off the stage. The arc of her face was unusually handsome at this point.
Murong Changfeng was below the stage. It was the first time he had looked at Helian Wei Wei so seriously. The first time, to let go completely and look at her.
This woman was always willing to sacrifice anything for him from a young age, anything could be done. In his eyes now, it made him stupidly feel suffocated.
But now, with her small face, she was stood at the peak, without a shadow of him in her eyes.
At this moment.
Murong Changfeng felt his eyes stung with pain, remorse swept through his body like a tidal wave!
Helian Wei Wei stood there resolutely. The golden glint in her eyes shining beautifully.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A thunderous applause sounded!
Helian Wei Wei was famous in one battle!
Helian Jiao Er was sprawled on the floor with intense pain from her internal organs. What made her lose her breath was not her injuries but the fact that she actually lost!
From the day she was born, she had never been humiliated like this before! Helian Jiao Er clenched her teeth tightly. The state of her now, there was no more beauty, only her sullen face and messy hair. She looked even worse than the servants who were trying to lift her up.
“Get lost!” The loss to Helian Wei Wei was bitter. Helian Jiao Er took her anger out on the servant. Before she even stood up properly, she slapped her hard across the face.
The servant girl screamed out in pain!
The crowd could not help but look at her, their eyes full of realisation, that the second daughter of the Helian family had revealed her true nature, which was worse that a shrew.
Upon realising what she had done, Helian Jiao Er retracted her hand and her expression changed and she said lightly: “You girl, what intentions have you got. Elder sis has won and that is final. It doesn’t matter what method she has used, I admit defeat. How dare you! Ask me to create problems for my elder sis!”
“M….miss.” The servant did not know why her mistress had said these words and replied: “Servant does not dare.”
After these remarks, those who lost against Helian Wei Wei had other ideas, they wanted to maintain their image. Fingers held on to their injured arm yelling at the judge: “Judge, this competition is not fair. We request to measure Helian Wei Wei’s martial qi.”
Helen Weiwei just looked at them with a smile that had a hint of mockery.
Those few people felt that there was something amiss, first they could not summon their martial qi, then there was that invisible barrier of air around Helian Wei Wei. During the crystal ball test, her body had no martial qi. Yet now she was so formidable.
She must have used something they didn’t know about!
Ten or so students argued about this and had asked the judges to repeat.
While the judges were deliberating over this matter.
Suddenly.
The fiercest of the girls who was arguing grabbed her left chest and fell to the ground, her face ashen!
Then there was a shrill scream!
Everyone looked at the girl and took a big step backwards: “What, what is going on?”
There was a smarter young master who upon seeing what had happened to the girl, checked his pulse. This was when he realised that the martial qi on his body was disappearing fast!
“It’s Huagong poison, it must be Huagong poison!”
All ten people then put their fingers onto their pulse point, they shook their heads in despair.
“No, there is more than just Huagong poison. There is also a deadly bone-eroding poison!” Someone had learnt the art of medicine and discovered the seriousness of their condition through checking their own side effects.
The effect of the bone-eroding poison was that there was none to begin with. And when there was a reaction from the poison, it would be too late!
The man panicked: “What should I do? What should we do? There is no antidote for the bone-eroding poison! And we tried to summon our martial qi earlier…”
Bam!
He had not finished speaking when another one of them had fallen down!
