Chapter 1800 - 1801: Material
Ling Zhenfei stood atop the arena, which felt remarkably solid and sturdy, although he couldn't quite tell what material it was made from.
Everyone stared at Ling Zhenfei in disbelief, whether from the Hoshino Family or the Watanabe Family, none could fathom why Ling Zhenfei would step up to greet.
Only two or three people knew what Ling Zhenfei intended.
At this moment, Kato glanced towards Ling Zhenfei and asked, "Sir, do you have anything to say?"
Ling Zhenfei bowed deeply to Kato Taka and said, "Great Judge, Li Hao, I actually don't have any major issues, nor do I wish to intervene for either side. The thing is, I just got married yesterday.
I reckon many folks are aware of this. I got married yesterday, and today I've stumbled upon such events. To be honest, the excitement hasn't faded for me yet.
You might not understand, thinking it's just a wedding; why be so elated? Well, of course! I am a Huaxia person, and in our culture, marriage brings three days of joy.
Today is only the second day, so how could I not be happy? Hence, I'm still quite thrilled."
Kato Taka's expression turned sour, "Don't you know where this place is? The excitement is already too late."
Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "Great Judge Kato, fact is, even though today we battle for life, even in the midst of warfare, there's a moment of warmth, right?
As per our Huaxia tradition, I've prepared some wedding candies to share with everyone present, hoping everyone will partake in the joy."
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei grabbed a handful of candies from his bag and tossed them towards the Hoshino Family crowd.
The Hoshino Family were naturally delighted, having someone so composed was indeed uplifting.
Ling Zhenfei, however, tossed some candies towards the Hoshino Family, some towards the Watanabe Family, and some towards the bystanders.
The crowd busily collected candies, yet the Watanabe Family remained still, none picking up the candies.
In fact, everyone's faces turned grim, feeling as though they've been humiliated.
Here they were facing a life-and-death duel, and the adversary handed out candies, inviting everyone to share in his joy.
Seeing that the Watanabe Family refused the candies, Ling Zhenfei threw a few more handfuls over.
"Folks, have a taste, they're delicious Huaxia brand White Rabbit candies."
The Watanabe Family was infuriated, feeling their stomachs about to burst. How could they eat that?
Ling Zhenfei remarked, "Have some, perhaps it's the last time you'll taste candies, later you might never have them again."
Ling Zhenfei's words mocked them blatantly, but he seemed as nonchalant as ever.
Suddenly, a person rose from the Watanabe seats, shouting at Ling Zhenfei, "Kid, you're arrogant, let me teach you a lesson."
Without further word, the person leaped up, gliding through air as though flying, and with a few casual arm movements, landed on the arena.
Ling Zhenfei naturally recognized him; it was Watanabe Goryu.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei, Watanabe Goryu fumed, intending to challenge Ling Zhenfei when the time came, but was surprised Ling Zhenfei came up ahead.
Upon reaching the arena, Ling Zhenfei laughed genuinely, heart full of glee, realizing Watanabe Goryu was easily duped.
"Brother Watanabe, what's up? You couldn't grab any candy below, and came up to ask?"
Saying this, Ling Zhenfei pulled out some candies offering to Watanabe Goryu.
Watanabe Goryu fumed, "Who wants your lousy candy, I came to teach you a lesson."
After saying so, Watanabe Goryu raised his hand to strike, forcing Ling Zhenfei to jump aside.
Ling Zhenfei shouted at Kato Taka beneath the arena, "Great Judge Kato, isn't he acting improperly? You haven't declared the start yet."
Watanabe Goryu said, "There's no need to wait, it starts now."
Saying this, Watanabe Goryu flew towards Ling Zhenfei, delivering a palm strike.
Ling Zhenfei tossed candies from his hand towards Watanabe Goryu.
Though seemingly candies, they actually could serve as concealed weapons, especially when charged with Northern Spiritual Energy; getting hit wasn't pleasant.
The candies indeed thwarted Watanabe Goryu's attack, prompting Ling Zhenfei to shout to Kato Taka, "Great Judge, say something!"
Kato Taka replied, "It's already begun, so let the fight proceed."
Ling Zhenfei retorted, "That won't do, according to rules, Watanabe Keiai should be the first to fight."
Watanabe Goryu retorted, "You're already in battle; it doesn't matter, in the end, you'll still be defeated by me."
Saying this, he charged at Ling Zhenfei once more.
Ling Zhenfei scattered the remaining half-bag of candies over Watanabe Goryu like Celestial Maiden scattering flowers.
At the same time, Ling Zhenfei shouted at Watanabe Goryu, "Very well, in that case, send the next person first while I deal with you."
Watanabe Goryu fumed, "You think you can handle me? Watch how I teach you a lesson."
Saying this, Northern Spiritual Energy burst forth from his body; he soared into the air, with arms motioning, conjuring two Spirit Energy Swords aiming to slash at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei currently could transform Northern Spiritual Energy into objects visible only to himself, others couldn't yet see. But Watanabe Goryu's Realm was evidently stronger.
Strangely, however, Ling Zhenfei and Watanabe Goryu shared a peak in the Dawen Realm, yet Ling Zhenfei couldn't achieve the same. It wasn't due to Watanabe Goryu's excessive strength.
Perhaps it's due to Watanabe Goryu's cultivation technique being more specialized.
Watanabe Goryu wielded two swords, appearing as if crafted from ice sculptures.
To others, they were transparent swords, yet Ling Zhenfei sensed the immense Spirit Energy imbued in them.
Though conjured from Spirit Energy, these swords were as formidable as any genuine blade, lending stronger Divine Sense.
Ling Zhenfei felt a shock, previously unaware of Watanabe Goryu's formidable cultivation technique.
Ling Zhenfei swiftly drew his Dragon Tooth Dagger and struck against Watanabe Goryu's swords.
The Dragon Tooth Dagger had a unique ability to absorb Spirit Energy, storing it within itself.
Hence, Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger could counter Watanabe Goryu's Spirit Energy Swords.
But this sword's Spirit Energy was exceedingly strong, so the dagger's Spirit Energy absorption didn't quite suffice.
Ling Zhenfei wouldn't back down; his Dragon Tooth Dagger was well-practiced; as it struck, a metallic clinking resonated.
After only a few exchanges, Watanabe Goryu laughed loudly.
