Chapter 467: Gu Ruoyun's Rampage (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Sigh."
Dongfang Changjin sighed softly, "Rongyue of the Medicine Order is the person that I am most worried about. If the representative of the Medicine Order turns out to be her, you must concede no matter what! Nothing is more important than your lives. As long as you're alive, there's still a chance!"
Just as she spoke, the City Governor's voice could be heard from the front.
"In the second round of the competition, number one will go against number five, number two will go against number six, and number three shall go against number four!"
Hearing this, the insufferably smug Gu Ling suddenly began questioning.
"Are you kidding me? We're going against the Dark Yin Palace? Why didn't we get the Dongfang Family? If we go up against the Dongfang Family, our Gu Family will certainly win!"
The Dark Yin Palace, in the eyes of the secular world, were equally matched in power with the Medicine Order. But the powers of Zuo Shangchen of the Dark Yin Palace are shrouded in mystery. He has never allowed anyone to have any knowledge of his exact rank!
Hence, anyone who has gone against a member of the Dark Yin Palace will certainly die without question!
"How unfortunate," Zuo Shangchen lightly raised his lip. "I really was hoping to have a duel with the Dongfang Family members, especially my Xiao Yun'er."
If Gu Ruoyun was still here, she would certainly be fiercely cursing this showy little fox from the bottom of her heart.
Honestly, amongst all the participating organizations, she only feared Zuo Shangchen the most. This imp seems to have purposely concealed the true extent of his powers, even she could not sense a thing.
"Which one of you is going to participate this round?"
Dongfang Changjin looked at her team members and asked.
Everyone fell silent. No one uttered a single word.
They all wanted to fight the Medicine Order. Hence, no one was actually interested in facing number five — the Tianqing Order.
Right as Dongfang Changjin was spiraling into a particularly difficult situation, a young, tender voice said, "I'll go."
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads. Their gaze fell on the little lord's adorable face.
Bai Chuan bit his lip but his small face carried a maturity far beyond his years. His eyes sparkled with determination and the profound experience of a small adult.
"I want to try. May I?"
Dongfang Changjin was in a daze and knit her brows in confusion.
It's not that I don't have faith in Bai Chuan, but this guy only looks to be about ten or twelve years old at the very most, she thought . And the participants in the trials are ranked as low-level Martial Kings at the very least. If I let this kid go up there... Wouldn't that be equivalent to sending a lamb into a slaughterhouse?
"Let him go. When it comes to facing the Tianqing Order, Bai Chuan would have a better chance."
Wei Yiyi slowly chimed in as she glanced at Bai Chuan.
Actually, Gu Ruoyun had permitted Bai Chuan to join the competition for selfish reasons! Even though Bai Chuan's current level of strength wasn't exactly powerful, prior to this, Gu Ruoyun had given him a book of cultivation skills!
That book was not about gaining strength in power but about rapid cultivation!
Bai Chuan had always remained within the compound of the Devil Sect and has never had any experience in battle. So she had asked Wei Yiyi to bring Bai Chuan along to the Trials.
"Alright."
Dongfang Changjin sighed, "The Tianqing Order isn't very powerful but they still have a few expert cultivators in their ranks. You must be careful. If you're really unable to beat them, admit defeat. We'll regain our points in the subsequent battles."
Bai Chuan raised his twinkling eyes and smiled shyly, "Actually, even I don't know if I'll win but I'll do my best. I won't let you all down."
Then, he slowly walked into the arena under the gaze of the crowd.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed observer caught a glimpse of Bai Chuan and burst out laughing. He laughed so hard that he cried and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Am I looking at this right? The Dongfang Family is sending a little boy to the arena? Haha, have they lost all hope for victory?"

Chapter 468: Coincidence, A Definite Coincidence! (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Whoosh!
In an instant, all eyes had turned to the arena. They could not help but laugh once they saw that small, childish figure.
"Tsk tsk, looks like the Dongfang family is ready to throw in the towel... Sending a young boy into the arena... How is this different from bowing out and giving way to the competition?"
"Perhaps this is the suspenseful battle that we've never had for so many years, and it'll be the most laughable I've ever witnessed so far! Could it be that the Dongfang family has run out of fighters?"
The chattering gossips of the crowd had no effect whatsoever on Bai Chuan. He merely furrowed his brow with profound maturity and observed his enemy in complete seriousness. His small face held a kind of somber maturity far beyond his years.
"Don't worry, little man. When the time comes, I'll be a little gentler on you. Even I can't bear to harm such a cute little guy like you."
Zhao Lin rubbed his fist and stared smilingly with pearly-white teeth at the bright-eyed young boy.
Honestly, amongst the team members of the Peaceful Heaven Order, he was considered to be at the bottom of the rank. He was still a low-level Martial King! He had expected to lose this round but instead, the opposition had sent a small child who was not even a Martial King as a representative.
Now, wasn't this a special gift to him?
"Uncle." Bai Chuan blinked as his soft and tender face lit up with a smile, "I'm only here to have fun. So please be a little gentler, I'm a bit afraid of enduring the pain."
Initially, Zhao Lin was rather surprised at the sight of the child's display of maturity — having kept his silence in the face of such a great slew of humiliation. However, upon hearing Bai Chuan's request, he could not help but laugh.
A child will always be a child, they will never lose their naivety!
This child is probably a disciple from a direct descendant of the Dongfang family, so he's utilizing this opportunity to have some fun, thought Zhao Lin. However, I will make this little guy understand that this is not his personal playground.
"Haha, don't worry little guy. I won't hurt you at all!"
Zhao Lin burst out laughing before charging towards Bai Chuan without even drawing his weapon.
The tiny figure stayed very still in the arena and did not move a single muscle. It almost seemed as if he was petrified with fear as he stared with wide eyes at the large man charging towards him.
"Alright, the competition is over."
Bai Xiangtian sneered and shook his head, "The losing team this round will be the Dongfang family again."
He could already see the little kid being picked up by Zhao Lin and thrown out of the arena. A match like this between two opponents with such a vast difference in rank, there wasn't a lot of suspense.
The Honorable Sir Tianqi stayed silent. He wrinkled his brows and was unsure of what to think as he stared at the arena with troubled eyes.
"Is the Dongfang family really going to lose? No! Knowing that girl, she would never risk the lives of anyone close to her unless she was absolutely sure. I don't believe that this little boy would lose so easily."
Just as Zhao Lin was about to grab Bai Chuan's arm, the young boy's small body moved aside. His opponent ended up grabbing the corner of his sleeve instead, ripping it off entirely and exposing his fair, dewy-white skin.
"Uncle, if you want to fight, then fight. Why must you tear off my clothes?"
Bai Chuan stumbled a few steps back and covered his arm with tears glistening in his eyes. The hurt look on his face was as if someone had ravaged him. He bit his pretty pink lips and said, "Could it be that you have that sort of addiction? You like children?"
Zhao Lin's face turned white then green. Based on his estimation in range, he should have been able to catch Bai Chuan with total accuracy.
Yet this child was actually able to dodge my attack? He thought. No! It's surely a coincidence. This must definitely be a coincidence!
