Chapter - 897 Never Back Down

After using three Monkey Furs of Prosperity, Wu Aofeng, Tai Yitan, and Huo Yuanba were going to fight with the three weakest opponents in the team. No doubt, they could definitely defeat them easily.

Phantom Rain would fight against Liu Chunyi later. On the other hand, three masked contestants, Chang Qing, Qi Feng, and Jun Lin were arranged by Chen Xiaobei to fight with three disciples that came from Mount Hua Faction.

"I don't think it's necessary for the eighth team to draw lots since the previous seven teams are already set in stone! Everyone! Please put the balls back into the box and prepare to face your opponents at your respective arena!" announced Zhuang Bihuang.

"The eighth team? Shit! I have forgotten about myself!"

Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei realized that he had not drawn the colored ball from the box. That would mean his opponent would be Luo Puti!

'Shit! This is going to be awkward!'

Chen Xiaobei then gave Luo Puti a sheepish grin. She responded by glaring at him. Not too long after that, all eighth teams had gone into their respective arenas.

"Now, I'm going to announce that the quarterfinal elimination round has officially begun!"

Right after Zhuang Bihuang made the announcement, all the contestants started to fight against each other. However, the contestants at Arena Eight had not started their fight yet.

"Honey…"

With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei strode toward Luo Puti and whispered.

"Psst! I thought you promise that you will never call me your honey before you help me to locate my parents?"

"Alright! Alright! Alright! I'm going to stop calling you my honey! We are now husband and wife. Let's not fight against each other. I think it's better for you to step down from this arena…"

"Why should I go down? You should be the one that should step down from this arena!"

"I'm more powerful than you! Have you forgotten about that? Haha…"

While they were chit-chatting, Zhuang Bihuang made another announcement.

"The first winner of the quarterfinal elimination round is Phantom Rain!"

At the first battle arena, Liu Chunyi was defeated by Phantom Rain with only a single skill. He was lying there, unconscious.

"The second winner is Chang Qing!"

Same things happened to Chang Qing as well.

"Look at that! They are the true elites! There's no way that you can compare to them! I don't mean to look down on you! I'm just worried that you might get hurt badly if you fight with them!" said Luo Puti, looking grim.

"Don't worry! I will be fine! This time, I have put in a lot of effort to give you a huge surprise!"

"I'm just worried that you are going to give me a shock of my life instead of a pleasant surprise! I haven't been feeling at ease recently. My sixth sense tells me that something bad is about to happen really soon! Please listen to me! Give up and leave this place right now!"

"Pumpkin, you have always been a calm person. Why are you acting so superstitious today? Even if bad things are going to happen later, I don't think it will happen to me." said Chen Xiaobei in an aloof manner.

"I'm just telling you the truth! I'm will continue to convince you to leave this place even if you hate me for doing it! This martial arts competition is not as simple as you think it is! I believe there is something horrifying that might happen without our knowledge! I will never feel peace if you insist on staying here!"

"I think your sixth sense is right about it! However, I will never leave this place after hearing your concern! The bad thing that is about to happen is like a tumor! It will continue to grow under my skin if I continue to ignore it! We have to eliminate it once it grows from the skin! That is what I call true recovery! If we continue to wait for it to spread the toxin to my entire body, I will be dead by then!"

"But…"

"No more buts!"

The moment Chen Xiaobei's face darkened, the Qi field around him had changed completely. One could feel that there was domineering aura exuding out from him.

"Running away from it is not the way to solve the problem! Backing away from it constantly is like consuming poison that can kill me bits by bits! In my dictionary, the word—backing down has never existed!"

Taken aback, Luo Puti was stunned by Chen Xiaobei's sudden change of personality. To her, Chen Xiaobei had always been a playful boy. Right now, Chen Xiaobei acted like a completely different person. At that moment, Luo Puti finally realized that she actually did not know Chen Xiaobei that well.

Determined!

Dominant!

Wild!

Courageous!

There were the traits that Luo Puti just discovered from Chen Xiaobei.

'Maybe it's because he always let me take advantage of him, that's why I felt that he is weaker than me!' she thought.

"Alright. I'm going to stop trying to talk you out from it! I will be by your side if something bad really happens to you!" said Luo Puti, sighing lightly.

"I will protect you even if the sky comes crumbling down on us!" said Chen Xiaobei in a determined manner.

"Okay…"

Luo Puti nodded her head and walked to the judge. This time, she had decided to yield to Chen Xiaobei voluntarily. She wanted to step back and get to know Chen Xiaobei once again.

"Don't worry! Just wait for my pleasant surprise!"

Chen Xiaobei stared at Luo Puti's back and he was determined that he would not disappoint Luo Puti.

"Luo Puti has yielded to Chen Xiaobei! In other words, Chen Xiaobei is the third winner!"

"What the hell? Who the hell is this Chen Xiaobei?! Everyone else except him is pouring their strength to claim the victory! I can't believe that all his opponents just yielded to him!"

"Cao Zhenyang yielded! Zhuang Bifan yielded! Zhao Ritian knelt down in front of him and begged for his life! Now, even the seeded fighter concedes to him! This is unreal!"

"From the beginning till the end, all he did was slap his opponent in the face. After that, everyone just yielded to him for no reason!"

...

Suddenly, everyone was talking about Chen Xiaobei in the audience section. Even the big shots that watched him from the observation deck could not help but start to comment about him.

"This is strange… Initially, I wanted to know that if Luo Puti could test the true strength of that kid. I never expect that Luo Puti would yield to Chen Xiaobei," said Yue Changkong, narrowing his eyes.

"Yea… I want to know the true strength of that kid as well! In the next round, all of the contestants are elites with True Nirvana stage. I don't think anyone in their right minds would surrender again!" said Su Dongruo.

Upon hearing that, Liu Xiyuan and Situ Hengfeng were worried that bad things might happen to them soon. Those who refuse to yield at him would definitely end up being killed by Chen Xiaobei. And Chen Xiaobei would never showcase his true strength to them that easy.

As expected, Tai Yitan, Huo Yuanba, Wu Aofeng managed to take down their opponents easily. Other than that, there were two final groups of contestants were still fighting against each other. They were Qi Feng and Jun Lin fighting against the two disciples from Mount Hua Faction.

Needless to ask, Yue Changkong and Su Dongruo were paying their full attention to them. The winning one would directly affect the first three places of this martial arts competition.
