Chapter 24
C24 – Cheating
Ruan Xiude’s eyes revealed a satisfied expression.
This punch was specially made for him.
Otherwise, Deng Kai, who had not used his trump card, would not have been able to withstand one of his attacks.
He had already been sent flying out of the arena.
He did this to obtain more energy points.
Deng Kai got up, swung his right arm, and felt a continuous pain.
He looked at Ruan Xiude with a look of shock.
He knew that Ruan Xiude was very strong, and he was very likely not his match.
But he never thought that the gap between them would be so great.
He couldn’t even withstand a single punch. He was almost defeated.
Moreover, Ruan Xiude acted as if nothing had happened. He knew that he did not use his full strength.
Thinking of this, Deng Kai was even more shocked.
They were both at the early period of the Enlightenment Stage, but Ruan Xiude’s strength far exceeded his.
It could be seen that Ruan Xiude’s talent was much stronger than his.
Although he did not want to admit it, he had no choice but to admit it.
“Luckily, I still have a trump card.”
Deng Kai comforted himself.
In fact, at this point, he no longer had the absolute confidence he had before.
He looked at Ruan Xiude and said coldly,
“Ruan Xiude, you are very strong!
But the one who will win today will be me!
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to circulate the Boiling Blood Technique.
When the surrounding spectators heard this, they couldn’t help but laugh.
He could not even withstand a single punch from Ruan Xiude and almost fell out of the arena.
Now, he actually said that he could still win?
They really did not know where Deng Kai’s confidence came from.
However, in the next moment, they could not laugh anymore.
On the stage, the aura of Deng Kai was actually growing.
His aura was growing at an extremely fast speed to the middle period of the Enlightenment Stage.
Moreover, it did not stop.
It only stabilized after it reached the late period of the Enlightenment Stage.
His aura spread out of the arena, bringing along the sound of the wind.
Deng Kai’s body seemed to have grown a bit bigger.
His eyes were filled with blood.
However, no one around paid attention to this. What they really paid attention to was Deng Kai’s cultivation realm.
A look of disbelief flashed across their eyes.
Just now, Deng Kai was still at the early period of the Enlightenment Stage. In such a short period of time, he had already reached the late period of the Enlightenment Stage?
Could it be that Deng Kai had concealed his strength before?
While everyone was shocked, they were also puzzled.
Then, they looked at Ruan Xiude regretfully.
Ruan Xiude’s talent was not bad, and he deserved to be the number one genius of the Dirtwich.
However, in this competition, he could only be ranked second.
They did not know what method Deng Kai used to reach the late period of the Enlightenment Stage.
Even though Ruan Xiude had displayed his powerful combat strength, no one thought that Ruan Xiude would be a match for Deng Kai.
On the eastern viewing platform.
The people of the Ruan family were silent. The Head Elder and the others had gloomy expressions on their faces.
They could tell that this was a special secret art.
Deng Kai was cheating.
It was impossible for the messenger of the Drifting Cloud Sect to not see through it.
He did not respond, which meant that he had tacitly agreed to it.
They could only remain silent and suppress their anger in their hearts.
Originally, Ruan Xiude would have been able to obtain first place.
But now, he could only obtain second place.
However, Ruan Xiude’s title as the number one genius of Dirtwich City could still be maintained.
Ruan Yueya looked at Ruan Xiude worriedly.
She did not care whether Ruan Xiude would be able to obtain first place or not.
She only hoped that Ruan Xiude would not be injured.
The Huo family and the Qi family were gloating.
The people of the Deng family in the Lord’s Mansion all had smiles on their faces. It seemed that Deng Kai had already obtained first place in the competition.
In their opinion, Ruan Xiude would definitely lose in this competition.
At this moment, no matter if it was the Huo family, the Qi family, the Lord’s Mansion, or even the Ruan family, none of them had high hopes for Ruan Xiude.
After all, the difference between the early period of the Enlightenment Stage and the late period of the Enlightenment Stage was too great.
This was far from what the Body Refining Stage could compare with.
Ruan Xiude was able to defeat an enemy who was at a higher cultivation level than him in the Body Refining Stage, but it would be very difficult for him to defeat an enemy who was at a higher level than him in the Enlightenment Stage.
On the high platform.
Deng Chun smiled when he saw that Deng Kai had activated the Boiling Blood Technique and raised his strength to the late period of the Enlightenment stage.
He did not believe that Ruan Xiude would be able to defeat Deng Kai.
No matter how talented Ruan Xiude was, could he still surpass two stages to fight against a late period Enlightenment Stage cultivator?
He had never heard of such a genius.
Similarly, he did not believe that Ruan Xiude was such a genius.
Immediately, Deng Chun tilted his head and looked at Ruan Yongsi, hoping to see his angry and exasperated expression.
However, he was disappointed.
Ruan Yongsi and Bai De both had indifferent expressions.
It was as if the scene in front of them was not worth their attention.
Immediately, Deng Chun had a bad premonition.
However, he still suppressed this feeling, thinking that Deng Kai could win.
In his opinion, the reason why Ruan Yongsi had such an attitude was because he was very cold and did not care about the family.
Ruan Yongsi did not have confidence in Ruan Xiude.
Because in Dirtwich, there had been rumors of Ruan Yongsi being cold and indifferent.
Otherwise, with Ruan Yongsi’s power that was unparalleled in Dirtwich, the other three major organizations would not be his match.
The Ruan family might have long dominated the entire Dirtwich.
Now, the Ruan family was only ranked second.
This was the basis of Deng Chun’s guess.
Unfortunately, Deng Chun’s guess was wrong.
Not only did he guess wrong Ruan Yongsi, but he also guessed wrong Bai De’s attitude.
Deng Chun and Ruan Yongsi, who didn’t see Bai De and Ruan Yongsi, were still paying attention to the battle on the arena.
A cold light flashed in Bai De’s eyes.
How could he not see such a cheating act?
The reason why he did not stop this kind of vile behavior was because he had confidence in Ruan Yongsi.
As a Condensation Spin Stage martial artist, he was three major realms higher than the Enlightenment Stage. Naturally, he could see more clearly.
They could all see that Ruan Xiude’s foundation was so strong that his strength far surpassed all the young disciples on the stage.
From the start of the competition to the end, Ruan Xiude did not display his true strength.
That was why he did not stop Deng Kai.
It was rare for him to find such a good genius in such a small city like Dirtwich.
Bai De wanted to see how strong Ruan Xiude was.
He wanted to use the late period Enlightenment Stage Deng Kai to test Ruan Xiude.
It would be best if Ruan Xiude could defeat Deng Kai.
If Ruan Xiude could not defeat Deng Kai, he would save Ruan Xiude.
In his opinion, the value of the other nine spots combined could not be compared to Ruan Xiude’s.
And after this, he would also punish the Deng family to show his warning to others.
The trend of cheating could not be increased. He must forbid it!
