Chapter 101: Swaying Spectators' Opinions
"Indeed, given how easily he was defeated, I highly doubt he will even have the qualification to fight that Su Tian again"
"Fufufu, there's just something about shoving blabbermouths into their rightful place that makes me so excited and joyful"
"Miss, that might be some sort of weird preference, please stay away from us"
"Ignore these uncultured swine young lady, how about you put me in my place?"
"HAHAHAHA, this young man here is shameless, I wholeheartedly approve"
As Long Chen's platform reaches its previous place in the audience area, the people around him inspects his unconscious self with all sort of expressions in their face, but everyone was unanimously taking joy in observing what happened to him for acting like that in the arena, especially the ones that managed to come in contact and fought with Wu Xiaotian, mocking Long Chen in their mind for underestimating the immortal-like young man.
With the first match of the eleventh round already finished in an extremely quick fashion, the second match follows in the same manner, with Lei Xing suppressing his opponent in a matter of seconds without even using his lightning spirit form, showcasing his brute strength in front of the audience.
While he's still pretty satisfied with the outcome of the match though, the good mood from it immediately fades as he noticed the gaze of the audience at him, as if they're looking at someone who's trying so hard to compete with someone else's result, the expression on his face turning stone cold the moment he realizes he was being looked down on, not to mention that the one acting like that towards him are what he considers as ants that he could use and toy with however he wants.
With the stone platforms of the ones who just had their match returning to their previous locations, the crowd gradually turns silent as they wait for the next announcement of the mechanical voice, making some of the people watching impatient as minutes, and even hours passed by.
After almost half a day, the cold, emotionless mechanical voice finally starts announcing again, causing the audience to cheer in delight.
"Congratulations to the last two participants for passing the eleventh round, now commencing the twelfth and final round. Final match: Su Tian vs. Lei Xing"
"The participant who will win this match is going to be given a chance to inherit the Moon Celestial's legacy, as well as the treasures he left behind before leaving the world"
Hearing the last sentence that the mechanical voice said, the crowd starts going so loud as their speculations are finally confirmed, the excitement in their eyes visible as they look at the two people with their stone platforms already approaching each other in the arena.
Thinking about the inheritance that is about to go to either of these two, some of the more ambitious ones within the audience already started forming some kind of alliance to wait for the winner between these two and ambush them once this competition finished, some even having multiple courses of actions just to make sure that they can steal the inheritance somehow.
Feeling the burning gaze on his back, Wu Xiaotian just shakes his head as he exactly reads the thought of the people looking at him like that, laughing at their naivety in his mind as he thought of just how blind people can be in front of treasures.
{Looks like we will have a problem later} Hua Xian'er, also seeing some of the gazes, couldn't help but notify him with concern clear in her voice.
{Did they already forgot what I previously did to the Purple Lightning Temple?} he asked with annoyance clear in his voice.
{Well, treasures are treasures after all, there's nothing we can do to change the minds of people trying to steal from others, but hey, as a payment for what you gave me previously, big sis shall protect you from everyone here!}
{Ahem, not to mention protect me, you even need my protection here, I am stronger than you in this secret realm after all} Wu Xiaotian replied, causing Hua Xian'er to blush, embarrassment clear on her face as she laughs while scratching the back of her head.
{Forget about that topic, go and give that bastard a good thrashing for me!} Hua Xian'er expertly dodged the subject as she looks at the arrogant-looking young man in front of Wu Xiaotian, the blood inside her body boiling in anger as she remembers what happened to her previously, fortunately for her, she doesn't become permanently blind as her sworn brother gave her something that she thinks is pretty expensive and rare.
While Wu Xiaotian really thought that the elixir is really quite expensive since most of the techniques in this world couldn't even match up to one-tenth of its price, he really doesn't think too much of it as it is just a small fraction of his tens of millions of Universal Coins, and even if he only has few tens of thousands, he will definitely buy it as well given just how much Hua Xian'er helped him in all his time in the outside world.
What he is really thinking about currently is how he can humiliate this thing in front of him in the worst way possible, preferably even giving the arrogant-looking young man some kind of mental trauma, the kind that would never heal for his entire life.
As the stone platforms merge with each other, the two finally stood face to face, Lei Xing appearing extremely confident as he starts talking the moment their gazes locked with each other.
"Su Tian, oh Su Tian, enjoy that glory you managed to steal from me previously, that won't last long now!!!" Lei Xing announced while pointing at Wu Xiaotian, looking at the crowd with a proud look on his face as he announces something.
"People, you see, all this time, we have been deceived, this bastard is using a great artifact he picked up somewhere in this secret realm to suppress his opponents all along, and that artifact is also most probably the reason for his absurdly powerful soul power, and most likely everything else that makes him strong!!!" as he talks with the audience, the opinion immediately starts snowballing at the other disciples of the Purple Lightning Temple shouts to support him, most of the people getting swayed by the public opinion causing them to criticize the immortal-like young man.
"Lei Xing, he's really blind huh… to think that there's someone like this born in our generation…" Dao Xuanyuan, looking at his fellow sect members refusing to go along with the crowd nods in approval before he looks at Lei Xing on the stage, looking extremely smug as if he just did something extremely devastating to his opponents.
"The ones who agreed with that retard, get out of my sight and never try to appear in front of me again, else you will die under my sword" meanwhile, Feng Qing, looking at the some of the people in her group, said while pointing her sword towards them, scaring the people so much that they didn't even dare to look at her in the eyes.
"Mhm, as expected of the people of the Heavenly Bliss Pavilion, we should be the one swaying other's opinion and not the other way around~~~" while looking at the women behind her, Zi Yu'er smiles approvingly, especially when not a single one among the people of her force were participating in the taunts of the audience towards the immortal-like young man.

Meanwhile on some other place within the audience, a group of five women and three men were looking at Lei Xing while thinking the exact same thing.
'Is he dumb on purpose?'
