I am the young master

Chapter 54 - Jin Fen’s Decision



——(POV third person)——

Two more fights were done and it was now the turn for the winners of the battle royale round to challenge someone. ​ ​

The first one to challenge was Lai Xinyue. She was the first one as she had the most number of eliminations in the battle royale.

It didn't take much time for her to choose an opponent to fight as she was very preceptive while the other challengers fought and found the best option for herself.

Jin Fen who was also in the line was nervously looking at Lai Xinyue's back.

"I want to challenge senior brother Mo." Lai Xinyue declared with her stoic face.

The brother Mo that she is talking about is Mo Hui. He is at the first stage of the meridian formation realm and is a fairly strong disciple of the inner court but here he is on the weaker half of the 10 thrones.

He was soon in the fighting ring and ready to fight.

The fight went on for more than 20 minutes and in the end, Lai Xinyue comes out victorious. As Mo Hui is one of the sect's best twin blade practitioners in the younger generation, Lai Xinyue had a hard time finding an opening in his moves and as a result, needed more time to adjust to the pressure of this level of attacks.

Twin blades are best at attacks and Lai Xinyue is best at defending so this was a good match for both of them and in the end both needed pills to recover from their fights.

After Lai Xinyue, it was Dai Bao's turn to challenge someone. He got all of the eliminations that their team got other than the first for each of them so he is second after Lai Xinyue.

Li Huang who was sitting on his throne sent an amused look to Dai Bao in order to provoke him to choose him for the challenge.

But this time Dai Bao unboxed his brain and used it. He has lost face all this selection along, so he desperately needs to gain a small victory to pacify the tension that started to create around him.

He throws a glance at Jin Fen who was looking at Lai Xinyue.

'It all started when this bastard played me that time.' Dai Bao cursed under his breath.

If he wouldn't lose to Jin Fen at the beginning, he wouldn't have to fight Li Huang and lose while being humiliated.

He chooses someone who he could easily fight against and went into the ring.

Within five minutes, Dai Bao finished the fight and won. It was an easy win for him and the crowd liked the fight so he achieved his goal with this and was able to clear his name a little.

He sat on his throne proudly and waited for the next round.

'At least he used his head this time and didn't waste challenge unnecessarily…' Li Huang applauded mentally for Dai Bao.

The next person on the line was none other than Jin Fen. He wanted nothing more than outright challenging Li Huang and fighting him.

But there was something that stopped him from doing so. He wanted to fight Li Huang but he also wanted to make sure to be there for Lai Xinyue this time.

It took a lot out of him, but in the end, he stopped himself from challenging Li Huang or even Dai Bao and went for the safe route and challenged someone else.

"Senior brother Sun, I want to challenge you." Jin Fen said with clasped hands.

If one were to focus on his hands, they could see that his hands were gripping hard and it was clear as day that making this decision was not something that he himself was happy about.

Li Huang who thought that He had a good chance of being chosen this time was confused.

'What makes Jin Fen make this decision? It is obvious that he is not happy with his decision…' Li Huang pondered.

As he was looking and Jin Fen and the one who was going to be challenged, he suddenly thought of something.

'You can't be serious.' Li Huang was really flabbergasted.

The reason for Li Huang's surprise was the location of the throne that Jin Fen was challenging for, that throne was right beside Lai Xinyue's throne.

'…is it right to call him a simp or he is just overly compassionate?' Li Huang thought.

On the fighting ring, Jin Fen was already fighting with his opponent for the throne that he wanted.

As it seemed, Jin Fen didn't want to use any of his trump cards and was fighting with pure technique. The fact that you can get pills to recover without any sort of limit was also made it easier for him to use this tactic without that much of reprecaution.

Li Huang was paying close attention to this fight but he also saw that Jin Fen is not using any fancy moves so he probably doesn't want to show his cards.

'That makes sense. Although he has his stupid moments he has to have a minimum amount of intellect to be favored my the heavens.' Li Huang knows that he has to fight with him to gain a insight into his methods.

Jin Fen soon finished his fight and without much of surprise, got the throne next to Lai Xinyue.

Unfortunately, he was too shy to start a conversation with Lai Xinyue or it could have been a good opportunity for him.

The two last disciples on the line were Dai Bao's lackeys and they fought the weakest person on the 10 thrones continuously. the first fight was finished with challenger losing and it was only when the second lackey fought that he was able to win and get a position for himself.

With this, the first round of challenges finished and after a short break, the second round started. After the end of the second round, the ones on the thrones can challenge each other and that will be where all the excitement happens.

Soon the 55 challenges of the second round were done with their challenges and each of the disciples on the thrones had their fair share of fights.

After all these fights only two more thrones changed ownership and the rest stayed the same.

Funny enough, in this round, the number of disciples who directly challenged for the three special seats decreased drastically. 4 challenges for Ye Ling, 3 for Li Huang, and none for Hu Anjing.

Now that all the regular challenges were done, it was time to challenge for the special thrones. Each of the seven occupants of the 'non-special' thrones can challenge for one of the special thrones, or they can simply pass on this opportunity.

With this, now the best of the sect can fight for the leading positions.

'Come on Jin Fen. Challenge me.' Li Huang tried to put thoughts in Jin Fen's mind.
