Inner Sect Competition (3)

" This years inner sect competition begins next week." She said smilingly. " So what? I'd rather not attend." Yang Chen shrugged before taking a seat and pouring himself a cup of tea.

" Well here's the thing. It's been decided by the four great elders that the top 10 inner disciples would be involved in the competition. " She added.

" They what?!!" Su Mu screamed out, before collapsing to the ground . " It's a pretty good thing. I would finally have the chance to get my revenge against that fellow." Mo Ling who had sobered up walked in and sat expressionlesly.

" Didn't hope to see you here, Mo Ling of the Spirit rune Mountain." Min Lang nodded at him.

" You know me?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at her waiting for an answer.

" I'm good friends with your sister." She smiled and answered to which Mo Ling nodded.

" Well they decided to make the competition less boring so what?" Yang Chen who had been quiet finally asked.

" It's not that simple. Other sects would be joining , hence, those old foggies are counting on you guys to put up a good show. And I think it's in preparation for the next Inter sects competition.

" Hmmm" Yang Chen placed his hand on his chin and furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought. " Hey why don't you tell me about the three great kings of the inner court." Yang Chen asked Mo Ling with a smile after a short pause.

" The third king is Chu Feng. He's a disciple of the Origin elemental mountain and he's the 2nd elders personal disciple. The second is Ling Langtian of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. The personal disciple of the 3rd elder. And finally, Mu Chen. He - he's of the Spirit Rune mountain." Yang Chen could detect the discomfort on Mo Lings face after saying that name.

" The last two kings are merely so-so. But that Mu Chen, whooo, he even beat this wussy in half a move." Before Mo Ling could continue speaking Su Mu who had been unconcious suddenly woke up and said with ridicule.

" Kyaaaa.!" Mo Ling growled in anger. This was by far his most humiliating moment in his existence. He had been defeated by an opponent with just a word.

" Is he that strong.?" Yang Chen asked, curious of this guy's capabilities. " Well technically, he comes from the Mu clan who're proficient in using words imbued with profound energy to fight. I once witnessed an ancestor of theirs fighting against someone in my clan, and he could split space apart with just a breath. Their words are like commands. When he says sit, the energy imbued within the words compel you to act on them." Su Mu said with a smile.

" Interesting. If he uses words in battle, then he's more of a long range fighter, however from the looks of it, his close combat capabilities are probably no joke. " Yang Chen said after a few seconds.

" Astute observation my friend . He's well aware of his weakness and has greatly improved his close ranged capabilities to the point of perfection. " Su Mu nodded with a smile.

" Yeah you're right about that guy. I saw him singlehandedly defeat many top core disciples from the Spirit Rune mountain with just a single punch. He's really strong. If a fight broke out between you and him who'll win?" She asked looking at Yang Chen.

" If we really had to duke it out ?.... I'll win." Yang Chen said with a slight chuckle, as if stating something which was obvious.

" Overconfident huh?..." Min Lang however shook her head and looked at Yang Chen who only smiled .

" I brought you some snacks ." She pulled out couple of snacks from her spatial ring and handed it over to them.

" Alright see you later. Looking forward to your performance at the competition. I'll be rooting for you so don't lose too badly okay. " She got, moved close to Yang Chen before whispering in his ear seductively and left.

" Damn ." Su Mu muttered under his breath and his head was immediately smacked by Yang Chen. Following which they dived right into the snacks and munched to their satisfaction.

" Come on Mo Ling , stop being so sulky . Eat with us. I promise that after this I'll teach you a move and with it you'll probably be able last a few moves against him." Yang Chen smiled at Mo Ling .

" Fine." He sighed after which he joined and the three of them munched into happiness.
