Chapter 239: Rigged Battle
Five disciples walked near the young elder and one by one took out a paper ball, Jayden used his Void skill and gave his name's slip to Gang.
After taking out the paper balls, they checked the names and then showed them to the elder, who noted them separately.
" Alright, all of you can return to your seats, and the first pair to fight right now will be Disciple number 1 and 6, so let's begin with our first match. " The elder announced.
As Gang got near Jayden, he bowed again while internally trembling in fear he asked:
" Master, what should I do in the next round? "
Jayden answered without opening his eyes: " Just lose to me easily. "
Without any hesitation, Gang nodded his head and replied: " Yes master. " The fight between the first two disciples began, and the crowd cheered loudly, as loud battle noises rang out.
Jayden just cultivated with his eyes closed and didn't pay it any attention, the battle lasted only ten minutes and then the winner was selected.
After announcing the winner's name, the elder spoke: " Now the second to fight will be number 2 and 7, both of you can come onto the stage. "
After announcing the name both disciples climbed onto the stage, but number two was instantly filled with fear as he looked at his opponent, it was Chang Ho.
From the moment number two had received Chang Ho as his opening, he had decided to withdraw from the fight.
" The battle starts now. " The elder announced, but Chang Ho didn't move and just stared at his opponent, who after a second raised his hand and admitted defeat.
" This battle ended rather quickly, Chang Ho is the winner, both of you can return to your seats, then let's call number 3 and 10. "
Then the next battle went smoothly and a winner was selected, after the elder announced:
" Now number 4 and 5, both of you come up the stage. "
This time both of the contestants were girls, and all the boys in the crowd cheered even loudly as the battle started.
And soon, it was finally the time for last fight of the round, after announcing the winner the elder spoke:
" Now, number 8 and 9, you are the last opponents for this round. "
Jayden finally opened his eyes and walked onto the stage, while Gang with his bulky body followed behind him.
Seeing Gang's huge body many people thought that Jayden might get beaten by him but since there was a difference in their cultivate bases, it was likely that Jayden would win.
Climbing onto the stage, Jayden and Gang stood face to face, waiting for the battle to start. " The battle begins now. "
The young elder announced in a loud tone, he was curious too about how Jayden would win this time.
As soon as the battle began, Gang took out his long sword and pointed it towards Jayden, and spoke in a dignified tone:
" If you can dodge even one of my attacks I will admit defeat, so do your best to dodge it, or you might end up getting hurt. "
All the people around were now even more excited, they wondered just how strong Gang is to make such a claim, more and more people were thinking that Jayden would lose.
But Jayden just stood there without showing any emotion, and he didn't even take out any weapon.
" I advise you to take your weapon out, otherwise you might get hurt too badly. "
Gang said and positioned himself for an attack.
Then, he jumped towards Jayden and waved his sword in a vertical slash, in response to which Jayden just took a step back and he was easily able to dodge the attack.
*CLANG*
The Sword hit the ground, and Gang took a few more steps back, then looking at Jayden with respect he spoke:
" You are really powerful, maste- cough, Wang Jin, I didn't think you would be able to dodge my attack and just as I had promised, I will admit defeat. " Gang said raising one of his hands.
Everyone was left gawking at them in bewilderment, that swing just now wasn't anything special, it looked completely rigged and felt as if Gang had deliberately lost to Jayden.
" What the hell? Is this competition even fair, how did he win two times without even lifting a finger? "
A man in the crowd asked as several others raised their concerns.
" Yeah, that attack even I could have dodged it, that was like he deliberately let the number nine win. " Another person said.
" I heard that he is Matriarch's only son, could it be that she did this to let her son win? "
" Also, just now didn't that bastard just say master, he thought no one heard, it was all planned. "
And soon, loud talks like this filled the entire crowd.
Wang Jia looked at Jayden and she didn't mind whatever the others were saying, she was just happy that her son was winning and was safe, she glanced to the side and saw the prince eating fruits peacefully while watching the battles, Jia wondered what he was planning to do.
Xiao also looked at Jayden, she smiled as she observed the way he was winning, and she couldn't help but giggle lightly.
' Even though Jin has the strength to defeat all of them easily, he just likes to play with them, hehe my Jin is so naughty. '
Xiao thought and the female disciples around her looked at her in shock, this was the first time they have seen her smile.
And by chance, Qiang also saw her smile, Jayden was present between them, whom Qiang paid no attention to, so he felt that Xiao was smiling towards him.
His heart shook violently, and he had the urge to run up to her and just marry her then and there. ' Maybe, she also likes me and is just too shy to show it? Haha, I was so worried for no reason, now I'm sure she only has eyes for me, it's just a matter of time before she becomes my wife hehehe. '
Qiang grinned and then turned his gaze towards the prince who sat on the high stage and was also staring at Xiao with infatuation.
Qiang was immediately on high alert and a bad feeling filled his heart, he could clearly see the lust in the third prince's eyes.
' Fuck, I have to keep that bastard away from my Xiao, no matter what I have to do. ' Qiang thought, as a strong killing intent was released from his body making the surrounding disciples shiver.
" W- Wang Jin is the winner and will move on to the next round. " The young elder announced, Jayden just walked away to his seat while Gang followed behind him obediently.
After sitting on the seats, Gang whispered: " Master, wasn't my acting perfect just now? Hehe, now everyone will believe that I really lost to you. "
" Just go away, you are a headache. " Jayden said waving his hand.
" Y- Yes, master, thanks for sparing my life. " Gang said before finally walking away, the surrounding students listened in astonishment, did Wang Jin threaten to kill him, they all wondered.
" Now, let's begin the next round. " The young elder announced and soon everyone focussed on him.
