Chapitre 103: Li Sheng's Killing Intent
Mo Qingkuang, with his handsome appearance, seems to have inherited the genes of a noble family, which generally bodes well.
At this moment, posing confidently in the sunlight, he should have been the center of attention, receiving countless praises. But considering Mo Qingkuang's previous actions, the more people looked at his face, the more they found it repulsive! They wished they could rush forward and punch him, even Chen Kong, who should have hoped for Mo Qingkuang's victory, was no exception.
Too despicable! This legendary hero of the empire is simply despicable! But they couldn't do anything about Mo Qingkuang's behavior. He had won the competition fair and square with his strength, and no one could find fault with that!
The incident of Mo Qingkuang intercepting Li Sheng's victory at the end, despite giving him hope throughout the race, was disregarded. These were just details which were not important!
As Mo Qingkuang stood victorious, there was not a single person in the Inner Court congratulating him or praising his exceptional talent. Instead, they all pitied Li Sheng.
Li Sheng, who had eagerly sought to challenge the newcomer, ended up humiliated in front of everyone.
Not only was he ridiculed by Mo Qingkuang three times during the race, but Mo Qingkuang also dashed his hopes of victory when he was on the verge of turning the tables. And in the end, he had to concede two thousand points to Mo Qingkuang as the bet, with almost half of the students in the Inner Court witnessing it. Li Sheng had no way to deny it.
Looking at Li Sheng, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state, Mo Qingkuang chuckled lightly and said, "Li Sheng. Please, get up quickly."
At this moment, Li Sheng only wished to faint and collapse rather than endure further humiliation in front of so many people.
'Am I paying homage to you or something? I've just fallen down! Do you even realize that?!'
Li Sheng scrambled to his feet, his eyes glaring red at Mo Qingkuang, saying nothing, his true qi raging inside him, as if he were ready to strike the kid who had just humiliated him in front of everyone.
The intense killing intent emanating from Li Sheng made those around him feel a chill.
This was genuine hatred accumulated to the extreme, moving into real murderous intent.
Seeing Li Sheng like this, no one doubted that he wanted to immediately dismember Mo Qingkuang on the spot.
But before Li Sheng could make a move, another person inserted himself between them.
Chen Kong suddenly stepped in between the two, his dark eyes meeting Li Sheng's red ones, their noses almost touching.
"Li Sheng, accept defeat," Chen Kong said calmly.
Although he understood Li Sheng's current feelings very well, and even felt the urge to pin down Mo Qingkuang and give him a beating himself, Chen Kong couldn't allow Li Sheng to act against Mo Qingkuang.
Apart from his own support for Mo Qingkuang and his disdain for Li Sheng, engaging in an undeclared fight in the Inner Court was considered a violation of the rules, and the other party had the right to refuse. The Inner Court's authority would not tolerate it!
If Li Sheng retaliated after losing a match deliberately, he wouldn't be able to save himself!
The authority of the Inner Court must not be challenged!
Don't think Chen Kong is trying to save Mo Qingkuang; he's actually trying to save Li Sheng.
Although the Inner Court seems spacious, it's actually under the surveillance of Director Zheng Tao. Even the slightest actions of daily life are monitored by him, although he often turns a blind eye to them.
Li Sheng's deliberate harassment of Mo Qingkuang wouldn't bother Zheng Tao much; geniuses who have everything easy tend to benefit more from setbacks, as they grow stronger and more resilient.
But if Li Sheng were to openly break the rules of the Inner Court, nursing grudges after losing a match, attempting to attack Mo Qingkuang, Zheng Tao wouldn't tolerate it.
Even if Mo Qingkuang were just an ordinary disciple of the Inner Court, Li Sheng wouldn't be allowed to harm him in the slightest. Moreover, Mo Qingkuang is a hero of the empire and Zheng Tao's only disciple.
In essence, if Li Sheng were to make a move, Zheng Tao could crush him in an instant.
But Li Sheng doesn't care about all that; he's already been driven mad by anger and shame. Mo Qingkuang's actions towards him will become a lifelong disgrace! If word gets out, not only within the Inner Court but throughout the entire Tianxuan Empire, he won't be able to hold his head up high. What would be the point then of claiming to be the fastest in the Inner Court or the greatest talent beneath Chen Kong?
It would all be just a joke!
"Chen Kong, are you trying to oppose me?!" Li Sheng's eyes were bloodshot with fury as he spoke icily.
Chen Kong's deep, enigmatic black eyes only fueled his anger further. Chen Kong always seemed emotionless; his personality was just like that. But to Li Sheng, it felt like contempt! Moreover, Chen Kong was protecting Mo Qingkuang, whom Li Sheng couldn't stand against.
"Li Sheng, I advise you not to act. I'm doing this for your own good," Chen Kong said coldly.
His tone was devoid of any emotion, as if he were an emotionless machine.
In fact, Chen Kong and Li Sheng had never gotten along, but the bigger picture mattered. Li Sheng had good talent and came from a prominent family in the capital; he would definitely be an important force in the Tianxuan Empire in the future. It would be a pity if he were destroyed by the rules of the Inner Court.
Chen Kong was dedicated to martial arts and serving his country. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't bother stopping Li Sheng. In the Inner Court, anyone who challenged authority never succeeded, and none of them had a good ending.
But Chen Kong is also dedicated to the public good, yet Li Sheng shows no appreciation. Li Sheng's hands turned into claws, with a flash of green light, one hand reaching towards Chen Kong and the other aiming straight at Mo Qingkuang behind him.
"Get out of the way!" Li Sheng's voice was cold. Chen Kong's strength was indeed superior to his, and he couldn't defeat Chen Kong in a one-on-one fight. But Li Sheng believed that snatching a few people from under his nose was not impossible.
This attack was designed to force Chen Kong to intervene. If Chen Kong didn't dodge, he would surely be severely injured, at least. If Chen Kong dodged, Li Sheng would have a clear path to confront Mo Qingkuang.
'I might not be able to catch up to you in speed, but with just one move, I can tear you apart! Even if I lose my life, it's worth it to avenge myself against a peerless genius!'
But Li Sheng overestimated himself. Chen Kong's strength was not just above his; it was far superior. Chen Kong was already prepared for Li Sheng's actions. When Li Sheng's claw came, Chen Kong didn't dodge. Instead, a thick golden aura burst forth from his chest, like an enraged dragon roaring. Not only was Li Sheng unable to injure Chen Kong, but he was also forcefully repelled by the attack.
Li Sheng was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing to the ground.
"True Qi manifestation!"
