Capítulo 9: Chapter 8
A duel between martial artists is always a remarkable spectacle, and the square was never short of observers.
As such, people began to gather around Lin Ming and Wang Yigao.
Among them were some martial artists.
Of course, they did not boast of particularly spectacular or grandiose strength.
After all, what expert would waste his time in such a low-level fight?
In that, several discussions took place...
"Hey, isn't that Wang Yigao, the son of the army lord Wang?"
"Hm, you're right! But who is the other young man?"
"I don't know. But, one thing is for sure. That boy is going to suffer!"
"However, sin makes its own hell and goodness makes its own heaven."
"I agree. The time will come when karma will act and give Wang Yigao a taste of his own medicine."
Wang Yigao's reputation was not very good. In addition, people tended to sympathize with the weak. Therefore, Lin Ming effortlessly won the public's support.
Amid the murmurs of a growing crowd, Wang Yigao spoke, "What are you waiting for? Let's do the duel. Afterward, go break your tendons. I'll make you understand the difference between us."
Now, his words were merely a facade concealing his true intentions.
To allow Lin Ming to live after all he did? Not a chance!
Lin Ming cleared his throat and said, "Naturally, we will begin the duel. However, if I lose, I'll be at your mercy. Then, what if I win?"
"Ha. What do you want?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Yigao was permissive and did not bother to argue.
Yet, that did not worry Lin Ming. No, rather, it was what he was really looking for to happen!
"If I win, I want a two hundred year Blood Ginseng and five hundred gold Liangs."
Lin Ming asked for the same as the original Lin Ming, already knowing Wang Yigao's budget.
This would prevent Wang Yigao from ending up not paying for the duel. He who abuses by asking gets an excuse in return.
Everyone was surprised at his two requests.
Adding the five hundred Liangs of gold plus the value of the grass in Liangs, the result would be the not insignificant figure of 800 Liangs of gold!
Despite this, Wang Yigao waved his hand in disdain, "Just that? Well, it's a deal!"
Assessing the big picture and feeling that he could use this opportunity to show off his wealth, Wang Yigao readily accepted Lin Ming's request.
And as he expected, some among the onlookers looked at him jealously.
An electrifying feeling ran through Wang Yigao's body at the sight of him.
'I, Wang Yigao, am a generous young master! Appreciate my greatness, commoners!'
"Hey, stop daydreaming, let's get started," Lin Ming hurried him.
If Lin Ming defeated him when Wang Yigao was not ready, he could use it as an excuse.
Moreover, Lin Ming had a busy schedule, he didn't want to waste any more time than necessary on this duel.
"..."
Wang Yigao's eyes turned red, his smile slowly faded.
The sound of his teeth clenching tightly could be faintly heard.
A brief hush passed through the square, and without further delay, Wang Yigao attacked!
In that, Lin Ming noticed that the sword in Wang Yigao hands began to glow a faint golden hue.
Someone among the spectators could not help but speak at this, "A Martial technique?"
Martial techniques were how a martial artist could harness his primal energies and unleash greater power.
If someone without a martial technique fought someone who, if he possessed one, would fall at a significant disadvantage.
Lin Xiaodong's expression hardened, uneasiness written on his face.
"No, Lin Xiaodong, trust Brother Ming!"
Fortunately, he couldn't remember a time when Lin Ming had done something he wasn't sure of himself.
In contrast to Lin Xiaodong's mood, a series of teasings could be heard from the crowd surrounding the square.
"Isn't it a higher stage?"
"He's even using a martial technique?"
From the little that could be picked up, it could be inferred that the people did not agree with Wang Yigao's actions.
And even if there was nothing to criticize, they would do it anyway!
Who told Wang Yigao to be so nasty?
Back to the duel, Lin Ming stood still without reacting to the attack.
"Heh, paralyzed from fear? Lin Ming, from the start, you overestimated yourself!"
Wang Yigao scoffed loudly.
As the seconds passed, Lin Ming could discern the blade's edge more and more.
... Notwithstanding, his body, despite his unsuspecting appearance, remained fully prepared.
In the end, Lin Ming was not suicidal.
Lin Ming just wanted to let Wang Yigao's guard down.
When the sword was only five fingers away, and Wang Yigao's smile was becoming more pronounced...
Lin Ming moved!
To the eyes of the crowd, Lin Ming was shifting with surprising speed at a particularly odd angle.
But to Wang Yigao, Lin Ming disappeared!
"Where did he go?"
Wang Yigao commented, dumbfounded.
The martial artists who possessed a certain degree of experience narrowed their eyes with a serious look.
"!?"
Abruptly, close to his ears, a voice came, "You lost."
That was the only thing he heard, along with a sharp pain in his chin before his world spun around, finally going dark.
Lin Ming lowered his fist without worry.
Through the passive skill: battle instinct, and the 'True Primordial Chaos Formula,' he managed to find a blind spot in Wang Yigao's defense, allowing him to finish the duel in a KO.
He maybe belong to a great family and possess abundant resources, but all in all, Wang Yigao lacked combat experience!
Against someone like Lin Ming, that in itself was a fatal mistake.
Also, even if Lin Ming had not defeated him using his speed and technique, the result would end up being the same!
It is important to remember that Lin Ming could already leave an imprint of his fist half a foot deep in an Iron Tree.
Likely, his physical strength was already infinitely close to the third stage of physical training.
On the other hand, Lin Ming did not attack him from the neck down as it would be really inefficient.
From the web novel, Lin Ming knew that Wang Yigao was wearing flexible armor underneath his clothes, which gave him great defense.
However, that didn't mean he couldn't win if he attacked that area.
Only would take a few extra seconds.
