Chapter 1160: What’s Wrong with This Dude?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Surrounding the huge Life and Death Ring was a dead silence. All the people stared at the Heavenly Tripod List that had appeared and then slowly vanished within a moment. They were in a daze, and finally slowly collected themselves.

“Number four?”

“Only a game and he won over the Young City Governor and ranked fourth on the Half List?”

“The Life and Death Ring is just one of the many ways the Heavenly Tripod List used to evaluate strength. It isn’t the only factor. But with a single battle, he made it to the fourth position!”

“My god, if he added other appraisals, is he going to come first in the Half List of the Heavenly Tripod List?”

“But he’s only in the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage. Is he already invincible in his own stage?”

“The aces in the Half-Celestial Stage in the three continents of the World of Near Celestials are worse than him?”

Everyone was deep in discussion. They were astonished. It was absolutely the first time that a person like Xu Que had made it up the Half List like that. He made it up the Half List in an imposing manner, unparalleled by any who had gone before.

“At this moment, the old man here can only repeat this for the third time. I wasn’t wrong in my judgment. He is a man with great potential; he’ll have extraordinary accomplishments in the future. Su Su... uh, nothing!”

“Tsk, it’s hard to judge anything in the future. He’s still only a younger brother of mine. Besides, I’m still in the top ten on the Half List!” Qin Susu was unconvinced, but she was indeed startled by his performance. She felt that she had underestimated Xu Que. That fellow had completely beaten Ling Feng who had suppressed his own Cultivation Stage to Xu Que’s level. Ling Feng had no way of fighting back. Most important, with only one battle, he was ranked fourth in the Half List. He had made a name for himself with just one battle!

Throughout the ages of a long history, there had been countless aces, but those who had attained what Xu Que had achieved—there were absolutely no more than ten!

“Young City Governor! Young City Governor, how are you?”

Just then, someone was yelling in the crowd. Subsequently, a group of guards and subordinates from the City Governor’s Mansion under the leadership of the old housekeeper squeezed through the crowd and helped Ling Feng who was badly beaten. Ling Feng had been beaten unconscious, but the old housekeeper took out a high-grade medicine and put it in his mouth. He even used his Celestial Core Power to help him digest for a moment before Ling Feng could wake up.

Ling Feng’s expression changed when he saw the people surrounding him and the sharp pain passing through him. “I lost? How could I...?” Ling Feng couldn’t accept or believe it at that moment. A set of Sword Art, unexpectedly lost to a Fistfighting Technique, and the key point was that the other party was a person who wasn’t ranked in the Half List of the Heavenly Tripod List!

“Where is that fellow? Quick, go get him, arrest him, and don’t let him run away! I’ll never let him go!” Ling Feng struggled to get up among the crowd, his face full of annoyance. Now that he had lost the battle, he couldn’t change the outcome of the battle. But Xu Que had secret evidence of his scandal. He couldn’t let Xu Que go.

“Ah!” All of a sudden, a voice resonated from the Life and Death Ring.

Everyone was startled as they turned to look. He was severely drunk and had lost all his senses, but Xu Que had regained consciousness. With sleepy eyes, he sat there and stretched his back. The blush on his face had already faded away and returned to normal. Obviously, he was sober!

“D*mn it!”

“This can’t be. He was just completely drunk, how could he be sober now?”

“Looks like his physique is complicated too!”

Everyone was startled. They figured that the rationale for Xu Que sobering up so quickly was attributed to his special physique. In addition, he practiced the Ancient Five Elemental Arts, so the Celestial Core Power in his body moved rapidly. When he was fighting against Ling Feng, he turned most of his “drunkenness” into power. Hence, after sleeping for a short while he had gotten rid of all the alcohol.

However...

Xu Que sat on the ground, looked at the people around him in a daze, stood up slowly, scratched his head, and asked, “Strange, why am I sleeping here? Where’s Ling Feng?”

As he said that, Xu Que spotted Ling Feng whose face was all swollen and immediately shouted, “Ling Feng, what are you doing down there? Where’s the fair battle you promised? Get inside the ring quickly. Don’t tell me you’re admitting defeat?”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, everyone including Ling Feng was dumbfounded.

What’s this dude trying to do again?

Isn’t once enough? Does he want a second fight?

“Scoundrel! Don’t go overboard!” Ling Feng was instantly annoyed and shouted angrily. He also felt that Xu Que was humiliating him after his victory.

“Overboard? Didn’t you say you wanted a fair battle? You ran away without a fight, and what’s that injury on your face? I can hardly f*cking recognize you!” Xu Que replied, and then he added, “To tell you the truth, you’re d*mn ugly!”

“D*mn!” Ling Feng was so angry that he pointed to Xu Que and ordered his guards, “Arrest him immediately. If he dares to resist, inform my father.”

“Uh...” The guards were anxious and dared not move. With Xu Que’s fighting prowess, whoever moved forward was seeking death.

“D*mn it, Ling Feng, you despicable villain, you promised me a fair battle, and now you want to pick on me with your guards? D*mn, come up now, I’ll kill you!” Xu Que cursed immediately and was losing his temper.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Feng’s expression suddenly changed, and the ground under his feet suddenly burst into brilliance. The Void under his feet contorted. The next moment, he vanished from his spot but was transported to the Life and Death Ring!

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock!

He’s doing it for real?

He just ended his first battle and he immediately starts a second one?

“What’s in his head?”

“Does he need to humiliate the Young City Governor like this?”

“No, from his expression, he doesn’t seem to be tricking him. It looks like he has forgotten about the first battle!”

“D*mn it, did he black out just now?”

“Blacked out? What’s blacked out?”

“Ha, ha, this word is only understood by those who drink alcohol. If one drinks too much and gets too drunk, one may have a temporary memory loss— it’s called a blackout!”

“Yes, well it seems that the dude really blacked out!”

“Ha, then what will happen to the Young City Governor? Is he going to be badly beaten again?”

Someone couldn’t contain his laughter. It was an odd situation.

“Bastard, what are you doing? You just won!” Ling Feng also detected that Xu Que’s memory was amiss as he frowned and yelled.

Xu Que shook his head immediately and said, “Win? I haven’t even started. How could I have won? Stop your nonsense, we only had an hour to cultivate our Magic Art, so hurry up, don’t say I’m wasting your time!”

Obviously, Xu Que remembered nothing of what happened after he had gotten his “Drunken Immortal Fist”.

Now that he had finished talking, Xu Que called out the System interface and took out a dozen bottles of Ten-Millenium Maotai liquor from the System store; he was ready to have a go at it.

“No! Stop drinking!” Ling Feng was terrified as he hurriedly shouted for Xu Que to stop.

For an hour, they weren’t allowed to leave the Life and Death Ring. However, if Xu Que drank all the Maotai liquor, Ling Feng felt that he might not even have the chance to step down from the ring and admit his defeat later!

“D*mn it. How can I not get drunk for my Drunken Immortal Fist? Humph, don’t you try to stop me, it would be impossible!” Xu Que glared at Ling Feng and picked up one of the Ten-Millenium Maotai and poured it into his mouth.

Ling Feng’s expression changed drastically in an instant. He shouted out in despair, “No!”
