Chapter 75: Sparring Begins, Neck and Neck

Chapter 75: Sparring Begins, Neck and Neck

Back to the company, Ling Jiu and the two saw and greeted Ai Tianfan and Jing Biao .

Ai Tianfan and Jing Biao nodded slightly . “The sparring is about to begin, Ling Jiu . Are you ready?”

“I am ready . ”

Ling Jiu nodded .

“Then let’s go . ”

Ai Tianfan brought them to a large training hall . Ling Jiu was surprised to see crowd gather around .

And most of them were external personnel .

‘So many spectators?

Ling Jiu was startled quietly .

“Because the last place involves many people and forces, and to guarantee fairness, Mr . Ai has invited some spectators,” Jing Biao said, as if he had noticed Ling Jiu’s puzzlement .

“With all these people as the witnesses, as long as you can defeat the other four contenders, the last place will be yours and no one could dispute that . Of course, if you lose, you could not dispute it too”

“I understand!”

Ling Jiu took a deep breath .

“Everyone!”

Ai Tianfan came to the center of the training hall and gave everyone a once over . “I will cut the cackle . Please allow me to say just a few words .

“After rounds of selection, we have finally shortlisted five contenders for the last placement in the Super Training Camp . There are more candidates than the openings . So there is only one rule: survival of the fittest . The strongest person will get the last placement . I announce that the sparring begins . ”

Because this was impromptu sparring, there were few rules . They would draw lots to decide who was going to fight who .

The five contenders—Ling Jiu, Yang Tian, Chang Jiandong, Ai Shangcheng, and Chu Ding—walked to the center of the training hall and started to draw lots .

The results were quickly known:

Ling Jiu vs . Yang Tian

Shang Aicheng vs . Chang Jiandong

Chu Ding from the military district would be on standby

While they were drawing lots just now, Chang Jiandong stared dead at Ling Jiu . If not for so many people around, he would have surely charged at Ling Jiu to kill him, although he knew he was not Ling Jiu’s match .

…

“First session: Yang Tian versus Ling Jiu!”

All eyes were instantly on the two persons in the ring .

“Who do you think will win?” Ai Tianfan asked Jing Biao .

“It’s hard to tell . ”

Jing Biao shook his head . “Ling Jiu has Earth and Gravity Arcana, both are for long-range attacks . But Yang Tian has Mighty Mammoth Form Arcana, a nasty close-quarters combat arcana . Their fighting styles are vastly different . It is hard to say who will win . But…”

“But what?”

Ai Tianfan cocked an eyebrow .

“Yang Tian’s skill was best-in-class . No Level-Four arcanist could beat him in this realm,” Jing Biao said slowly .

“That’s for sure . Once Yang Tian shifted to Mighty Mammoth Form, his strength will increase by a hundredfold . By then, even Earth Manipulation and Gravity Arcana will have a hard time containing it . ”

Ai Tianfan nodded with a smile . “But it is still hard to say who will win before the battle ends . ”

“You are right!”

“Who do you think will win?” Yang Ling-er asked Ai Yuhe .

“Ling Jiu, of course . ”

Ai Yuhe said confidently .

“Are you sure?”

Yang Ling-er was a little surprised .

Jing Biao and Ai Tianfan looked at Ai Yuhe in disbelief .

Why was she so confident when even they were not so sure?

“No one can beat Ling Jiu below Level Five . ” Ai Yuhe let out a confident smile .

She had seen how Ling Jiu beat Jin Chao, and how he killed the Class-5 Direbeasts in Heihu Mountain Pass . She knew Ling Jiu’s strength better than anyone else .

“Are you sure, my dear daughter?”

Ai Tianfan raised a brow .

“You will see, Dad . ”

On the other hand, Ling Jiu and Yang Tian had started talking .

“So you are Ling Jiu, eh?”

Yang Tian looked at him sideways . “I don’t know who gives you the courage to come all the way from a village to Chang’an and compete with me for Super Training Camp’s last placement . But let me tell you, you will be disappointed!”

“Just cut the cackle!”

Ling Jiu shrugged . “Make your move!”

“You are asking for it!”

Yang Tian hissed, then his body ballooned rapidly, and he turned into a five-meter-tall mammoth humanoid .

His legs and arms were huge . His ears looked like two large fans and he had two sharp fangs . There were also dark-green scales covering his body . He was neither mammoth nor human .

He was a hybrid of both species .

Boom!

The granite flooring cracked and shattered at once as Yang Tian stomped his feet on the floor and charged at Ling Jiu .

A mammoth always gave the impression that it was heavy and clumsy . But apparently, this was a delusion .

The mammoth was quick and could move at 20 km/h . In another word, it was said to be 5 . 5 m/s .

5 . 5 meters per second was only the speed of an ordinary mammoth . As for the best among the mammoth Direbeasts—Mighty Mammoth—could move at ten times faster than ordinary mammoths . In addition, it had incredible strength and defense ability .

So when Yang Tian moved, he ran like a steed and sent a tremor throughout the training hall .

“It’s Mighty Mammoth Form . Interesting!”

As osmium soil surrounded Ling Jiu, he turned into a five-meter-tall osmium giant in the blink of an eye and activated Tungsten Form Arcana .

“What is this kid thinking? He wants to clash with his opponent head-on?”

“He wants to go head-to-head with Yang Tian? He must have hit his head somewhere!”

“Blow that naïve kid away, Yang Tian!”

Those spectators were shocked to see what Ling Jiu was doing . But they quickly derided him .

“Why going it head-to-head?”

Jing Biao frowned, thinking that this was very unwise of Ling Jiu .

Yang Tian was famous for his strength . By clashing with him head-on, Ling Jiu was punching above his weight .

This was stupid of him .

“Go home, lout!”

Yang Tian roared as he thrust a big and solid punch at Ling Jiu, who also flung his fist to meet Yang Tian’s attack .

The two fists clashed like two high-speed trains collided .

An ear-shattering sound splintered the glasses around the training hall as Ling Jiu and Yang Tian were forced back at once .

“They are neck and neck?”

Those spectators were stunned . Yang Tian’s Mighty Mammoth Form had increased his strength by a hundredfold, his punching force was as high as 30 tons .

Such a horrible attack could smash a van into a thin foil . Yet Ling Jiu had withstood it .

Are you kidding me?

“This kid is a badass!”
