The Scum Is A ***

Li Tian raised his sword to defend. "Ngh!" he gritted his teeth and his knees bent when he felt the impact of Xi Shi's attack. Fortunately, Fei Yin helped them strengthen their body as their solid foundation. Or else, he would have already fallen on the ground. His swordsmanship may be slightly above average, but he's originally a scholar, and a Spell Caster - a mage. 

"Oh?" Xi Shi was surprised when he saw Li Tian had survived his attack, but not that much. "For a mage, you're quite strong." He said. "But not as strong as me!" he told him and raised his leg to kick Li Tian.

Li Tian's eyes widened and he immediately raised his leg to meet Xi Shi's foot head-on. "Ugh!" he cried and his body swayed when he felt his leg hurt. His foot was almost crushed. He's as strong as Feng-shidi. He thought and raised his sword to block when Xi Shi made his strike again.

"Ai. I knew it. Shanliangde is stronger than Xinfaxian." one of the audience said. 

"Xinfaxian is a newborn baby compared to the Shanliangde." another nodded in agreement. 

"Xinfaxian had just joined this year. Of course they'll be weak." one of them can't help but comment.

Xi Shi smirked as he looked at Li Tian. "You're weak." He told him. 

Li Tian smiled back. "My sword may not be as strong as yours, but I'm still a mage!" he said as he swung his sword and raised his free hand. "Light Flash!" he said as he borrowed the light of his sword that flashed when the sunlight hit it. Then, threw the light on Xi Shi's face to blind him.

"AH!" Xi Shi cried as he took a step back. His eyes were directly hit! He can feel his eyes are burning, and he almost wanted to pluck them out! His tears fell because of the pain, and anger and frustration because Li Tian dared to blind him! 

"Oh, my god!" the audience exclaimed. "He's also a mage?!" they were shocked.

"Oh, right. I remembered him took the Spell Casting Test - " one of them said. "And he's strong!" he added. 

"A Spell Caster!" they couldn't help but gasp in surprise. 

"Second young master Chen is both a sword cultivator and a mage. Now, there's another sword cultivator, though his swordsmanship is average, but he can also cast a spell!" someone said. 

"Is the Xinfaxian Sect cultivating sword and mage cultivators?!" the person beside heard him and exclaimed. 

"You…!" Xi Shi hissed and wildly looked around as he held his eyes with his left hand while his other hand swung his sword. "Bastard!" he yelled and gave Li Tian a kick in the stomach. Even if he was blinded, but he can use his other senses to locate Li Tian's position. 

Li Tian's eyes widened when he saw the sword about to slice his head. He didn't expect for Xi Shi to recklessly move! "ACK!" he cried when his shoulder was cut after he dodged. "Ugh!" blood came out of his mouth when his leg was hit by Xi Shi's foot instead of his stomach. "AGH!" he fell on the floor. His leg was dislocated.

"Ah Tian!" Chen Han cried and was about to ran to the stage when Sun Yi and Cheng Sheng stopped him.

"Don't be reckless!" Sun Yi told him. "If you go up stage, Li-shidi's match will be forfeited!" he told him.

"Let go of me!" Chen Han struggled. "Ah Tian!" he called, his tears falling from his eyes when he saw the blood trickling out of Li Tian's mouth. His clothes were soaked with bright red blood and he's lying on the floor, his leg bent into a strange shape. "Ah Tian!" he called.

"Brother!" Cheng Sheng called. "Li-shixiong worked hard just to reach this far. Don't waste his time and efforts." he told him. 

"Ah Sheng..." Chen Han cried. 

Cheng Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder. "It's better to disappoint yourself than disappoint him." he told him. "Li-shixiong is prepared for this. Don't make him have regrets." He said. 

Chen Han balled his fists. It hurts him to watch Li Tian be beaten up. However, as Cheng Sheng said, he'll hurt Li Tian more if he'd interfere with his match. "... I understand." he said and lowered his head. 

Cheng Sheng stared at Chen Han before he spoke. "Brother, if it pains you that much to watch Li-shixiong's match..." he said. 

"Hm?" Chen Han said. 

Sun Yi heard Cheng Sheng's tone and he couldn't help grimace. He already watched the Xinfaxian Sect and learned of their antics.

"I can hit you to feel a pain more painful than watching Li-shixiong's match." Cheng Sheng said. 

"..." Chen Han looked at Cheng Sheng in disbelief. Is he really my younger brother? He thought. "No thanks. I can bear with this pain." He told him. 

Xi Shi's fists clenched when he heard Chen Han's voice. However, he wasn't calling for his name, but Li Tian's. "How dare you…" he said through his gritted teeth as he waked towards Li Tian's direction. His eyesight now slightly coming back. "Bastard! How dare you steal him from me!" he yelled.

"You…" Li Tian stared at Xi Shi in shock when he understood the underlying meaning in Xi Shi's words. "You like… Chen Han?" he asked.

"Shut up!" Xi Shi's tears fell as he raised his sword to hack Li Tian.

Li Tian raised his sword to block. "You…!" he gritted his teeth. Fortunately, Fei Yin helped them increase their arm strength to block an opponent's attack. Or else, Li Tian could say goodbye to his left arm that would have sliced off by Xi Shi. Da shixiong really knows the best. He thought, noting in his mind to thank Fei Yin after this match. 

Xi Shi crazily grinned, his eyes still lost their focus. "Chen Han liked you – a nobody and weak person?" he said. "Is he blind? His standard is too low. No wonder it's Wu Yuan who became the Youxiwang Sect's leader! He's useless!" he laughed both mocking and in anger.

Li Tian's eyes widened before they narrowed in anger. Xi Shi can curse and insult him, but he can't insult Chen Han! He thought. "Cast spell – Lightning Strike!" he said and he flung his sleeve, his two fingers pointing at Xi Shi! A lightning came out of the tip of his fingers and he raised his hand. The lightning left his fingers and struck Xi Shi!

"Ugh!" Xi Shi blocked the lightning by his sword. His lips curled up as he looked at Li Tian smugly.

However, he didn't expect to see Li Tian was smiling! "Cast spell – " Li Tian spoke. " - Flip!" he shouted.

Xi Shi's body glowed before he felt himself turned and then overturned in the air! Then, he saw the ground rose beneath him and his body fell!

"Burrow!" Li Tian added.

Xi Shi saw the ground collapsed and a pit appeared!

"Cast spell – " Li Tian said, his voice hoarse because of the simultaneous spells he's casting and he feels his energy is depleting, too! " – Bury!" he yelled the last spell.

Xi Shi fell on the pit and the ground buried him alive!

Li Tian fell on his knees, completely exhausted. He panted and wiped his sweat with his fist. You can insult me, but I won't let you insult my lover! He thought and looked at Chen Han, who, actually, was watching him with in a trance! Li Tian blushed and he looked away. Lovers! We're still only lovers! He thought, embarrassed. As for marriage… we'll talk about it in the future! He smiled and closed his eyes.

"OOOH!!!" the crowd finally reacted after their initial shock. "The Xinfaxian won! Xinfaxian Sect unexpectedly won!" they exclaimed.

"Li-shixiong!!!" Lei Ling and You Rou called, crying.

"Li-shidi!" Lei Qing smiled and clapped her hands.

"Congratulations." Sun Yi said and also clapped. Chen Han was itching to climb on the stage, but has to wait for the emcee to announce the result.

"Winner, Li Tian of Xinfaxian Sect!" the emcee said and sweated when he saw Chen Han's glare. He immediately fled.

"WHOOOO!!!! The Xinfaxian Sect actually won!!" the audience cheered.

"That mage is really strong, huh?" 

Chen Han climbed up the stage together with the disciples of the Righteous Alliance to check the contestants' condition. "I'll take him with me." he told them and carried the unconscious Li Tian in bridal style. They didn't stop him seeing the worry on his face.

"That's my boy." Chen Jing said after he slipped through the other contestants.

"Father!" Chen Han exclaimed. "Please… treat him." He said and looked at Li Tian's injuries, especially his dislocated leg. 

"Of course. He's my daughter-in-law." Chen Jing said as he fed qi into Li Tian's body.

"Here." Cheng Sheng handed Chen Han a Restoration Pill.

"Thanks, Ah Sheng." Chen Han told Cheng Sheng and placed the pill on his lips before he lowered his head and fed the pill into Li Tian. Li Tian has fainted and Chen Han had to push the pill into Li Tian's throat for Li Tian to unconsciously swallow. 

"Wahhhh!" Lei Ling blushed and covered his red face when he saw the scene. However, he can't keep his gaze away from them.

"Shijie… this is…" You Rou was blushing hard. Lei Qing nodded on the side. Her cheeks are suspiciously pink.

On the other side, the Shanliangde Sect was watching the Xinfaxian Sect across. "… they really won." Xi Ming said in surprise. Xi Xing nodded. Gong Xian just shrugged and closed his eyes to try to sleep… while standing upright.
