Chapter 395 - I’m Indeed Not Comparable to You

The young lady’s expression was as calm as before and her figure remained just as elegant. At that moment, even the sun above her head had lost its shine under her brilliance. It was as if she was a beautifully iridescent pearl, making everything around her seem dull and colorless.

They’d won. Nan Xia Country had won. Even Xiao Tianying with his arrogance that reached the heavens had been defeated by Ling Chuxi.

A pair of beautiful purple eyes watched everything from afar. All the spectators had fixed their gazes on the dazzling young lady in the fighting ring. That was his Ling Chuxi, his one and only Little Chuxi. He really looked forward to her growing up.

“My lord, it’s time to set out,” a deep voice said respectfully from behind him.

“Alright, let’s go.” Huangfu Qingjue took one last look at Ling Chuxi in the distance. He smiled slightly, turned around, and left.

Meanwhile in the competition arena, the crowd cheered uproariously as they ran towards the fighting ring before the referee could announce the results. Everyone had tears of joy on their faces, but the instant they approached the fighting ring, they stopped and bowed down to Ling Chuxi to express their gratitude.

Finally, Nan Xia Country had gotten rid of the shame of being ‘Number One in Ten Thousand Years’. Furthermore, they were now a Tier 1 Vassal Country, and the citizens would live much better lives in the years to come. They who had once been discriminated against could finally hold their heads high and say proudly: ‘I am a citizen of Nan Xia Country!’

The envoy had already fainted from excitement and Li Shaoqiu’s face was covered in tears. He was jumping up and down like a young child.

No one knew how much time had passed before the competition arena became calm again.

Xiao Tianying climbed out of the rubble and struggled to his feet. He straightened, looked at Ling Chuxi and said, “Grandfather was right. I’m indeed not comparable to you.” There was no trace of arrogance in him, only a discouraged broken spirit.

Ling Chuxi knew that this defeat was practically a fatal blow to a person like him. Once his heart and mind became chaotic, he might be unable to improve his cultivation anymore. After all, not everyone had the mental strength of Lan Xinyu and the Fifth Princess. They still were lively even when they were beaten until their faces were swollen and had been sent rolling everywhere. Oh right, it did not count as mental strength for the Fifth Princess though; thick-skinned was a major understatement when it came to her.

“You are not worse than anyone else, and this failure does not prove anything. Nobody knows how many people there are in this world who are stronger than you. If you do not even have the courage to get back up after this, then you are truly a loser,” Ling Chuxi said to Xiao Tianying. No matter what, Xiao Tianying had all the makings of a true cultivator, and she did not wish to see him fall just like that.

“Thank you!” After a long silence, Xiao Tianying bowed down to Ling Chuxi solemnly.

Her words were so similar to Grandfather’s. If he could not even endure this blow, then he truly was not even comparable to Xiao Tianfan.

“That move earlier, did any of you see it?” On the watching platform, an old man who had been silent for a long time asked the others.

The others lowered their heads, deep in thought, and remained silent.

“It turns out that the strongest in this year’s great assessment competition is not Wan Chuan Country or Dong Xing Country, but Nan Xia Country!” An old man sighed.

“Even if Shang Yuan Country did participate, they definitely would not be the champion. In fact, they probably would not even have the opportunity to participate in the final round,” another old man added.

“Not bad. I never would have thought that Nan Xia Country could actually produc such a young expert. Such a person must be recruited by my Ding Lin Country,” the dignified old man murmured contemplatively. Yes, she had to be on their side. If this talent stood as their opposition, the consequences would be unimaginable.
