The Scum Is A ***

"Fourth match – " Pai Lie said as he picked a nameplate. He started to show his anxiety.

There are only six matches left today. If he will pick Xinfaxian Sect, that\'d definitely be Cheng Sheng. There\'s only him remaining in the Xinfaxian Sect that still haven\'t had his match.

"Zunjingde Sect…" he said when he saw the orange nameplate. "Jing Bai!" he said. He shouldn\'t be haste. He took a deep breath to calm himself and then left the stage for the contestants.

"Oh! It\'s the Zunjingde Sect this time!" the audience exclaimed.

"The powerhouses remaining have gathered this last day. This day of the competition is always thrilling!" someone said.

"Of course." The person beside him nodded. "I am actually waiting if there will be surprises today." He said and grinned.

"Opponent – " Pai Lie said and picked another name for Jing Bai\'s opponent. When he saw it isn\'t the Xinfaxian Sect, he held back the disappointment he felt.

"Good luck." Jing Cheng told Jing Bai when Jing Bai rose from his seat.

"There\'s no need to cheer you on, right?" Jing Hei said when they heard Jing Bai\'s opponent is from a small sect. Qian Lin looked at him.

"Yeah." Jing Bai smiled.

"Good luck!" Xi Ming told him.

"Good luck." Xi Ning nodded at him. She\'s acting reserved today. What happened to her before must have dealt a blow on her and her confidence.

"Thank you." Jing Bai told them and went up the stage. Seeing the nervous-wreck disciple on the other stage, he secretly sighed. He was reminded of Lei Ling. "Ah – " he thought and glanced at Jing Kang.

As expected, Jing Kang\'s expression was ugly when he saw Jing Bai\'s opponent. What is he scared of? He thought and felt irritated. How dare he copy my Ling Ling? He thought. Then, he looked at Lei Ling who was watching the match with his face covered by his hands. His ears are red in embarrassment.

Undoubtedly, Jing Bai won after one strike like Xi Xing. "Mad?" he asked when he returned to their seat and saw Jing Kang was silent. He knew, Jing Kang remembered Lei Ling was defeated the same way.

"No." Jing Kang said.

Jing Bai laughed and returned to his seat. He isn\'t a braggart like Jing Hei, so he only just looked at Zheng Yi and smiled at him. Zheng Yi saw him looking at him and he looked away. He\'s really cute. Jing Bai thought. Zheng Yi didn\'t notice he gave himself away. Not that there\'s a need to hide it from Jing Bai, since Jing Bai already knew him.

"Fifth match – " Pai Lie said as he picked up a nameplate. Then, his eyes widened in shock when he saw it was the Xinfaxian Sect. "- X-Xi-Xinfaxian Sect…" he muttered, his face filled with disbelief.

"Xinfaxian Sect?!" the audience exclaimed. They\'re also shocked like Pai Lie. They wore the same expression as him.

"You mean…" they said as they looked at each other. Then, their gaze fell on the Xinfaxian Sect who are cheering for Cheng Sheng when Cheng Sheng rose from his seat.

"… Cheng Sheng!" Pai Lie said and looked at Cheng Sheng.

"OOOOOOHH! He\'s here! He\'s finally here!" the audience roared as they cheered.

"The genius second young of the Chen Clan!" they said.

"The mage master in the five areas of alchemy!" someone added.

"Both a sword and mage cultivator!" somebody said.

"Cheng! Sheng!" they called.

"We\'ve finally made it!" Zuo Zhe exclaimed as he catches his breath.

"Just on time." Yu Sheng smiled.

"Yu-ge! Young master Zuo!" Feng Mo exclaimed when he saw them.

"Yu Sheng is here?!" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples exclaimed in surprise. They thought the two would choose to stay in the inn. However, since it\'s the last day of the matches, it\'s reasonable to watch it. "Ah." they said when they suddenly remembered what happened before. Then, they looked at the two, their face stern.

Yu Sheng chuckled while Zuo Zhe froze when he understood their gaze. … they still haven\'t explained themselves to them… Zuo Zhe thought. "L-let\'s watch the match first. I – I\'ll definitely tell you tonight!" Zuo Zhe told them.

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples held themselves back and focused on the match. "Opponent – " Pai Lie said as he picked up a nameplate. Whoever Cheng Sheng\'s opponent is doesn\'t matter. He\'ll definitely win! He thought and saw an orange nameplate. "Zunjingde Sect – " he said. " – Jing Yu!"

"WHAT?! Zunjingde Sect?!" the audience exclaimed.

"This is hard to tell who will win…" someone said.

"Idiot! Cheng Sheng will definitely win!" the person beside him said.

"That\'s right. Not all Zunjingde Sect disciples are strong!" somebody said.

"So, who is this Jing Yu?" the audience are puzzled.

"Jing Yu…" Jing Kang\'s brows knit.

"Right. He was your attendant." Jing Hei said and looked at Jing Kang.

"Ah Kang. We didn\'t know Jing Yu participated?" Jing Bai said.

"… I didn\'t know, too." Jing Kang answered.

Xi Ming thought about it. "Could it be he was shy, thus he registered himself secretly?" he asked.

"… that could be." Jing Cheng said when they saw Jing Yu climbed up the stage. His eyes are looking wildly around.

"What the… so just a rabbit, huh?" the audience said in disappointment. They already celebrated Cheng Sheng\'s win in their heart.

"H-hello… hello, Cheng Sheng…" Jing Yu greeted and bowed.

Cheng Sheng gracefully smiled. "Hi." He said. "You\'re Jing Yu?" he asked.

Jing Yu nodded. "Y-yes…" he timidly answered.

"Cheng-shixiong will definitely win!" You Rou exclaimed when she saw the opponent is a small fry.

"Yes." Lei Qing smiled.

Meanwhile, Lei Ling frowned. "What\'s with this unsettling feeling?" he asked. "Why is he acting like me?" he said. The previous contestant acted the same way, too.

"Lei-shidi. There will be some contestants who has stage fright." Li Tian told him.

"But – " Feng Mo said as he looked at the stage. " – this looks like Cheng-shidi would bully him, right?" he asked as they looked at Jing Yu.

"Anyway, Ah Sheng will win!" Chen Han said. Sun Yi, who\'s standing beside him, nodded and smiled.

"Begin!" the emcee said as he left the stage.

"Then, I\'ll give you the first strike." Cheng Sheng told Jing Yu.

Jing Yu\'s eyes brightened. "T-thank you, Cheng Sheng!" he said and smiled.

"The Chen Clan and the Youxiwang Sect are really benevolent…" the audience said after they heard what Cheng Sheng said.

"He\'s from the Xinfaxian Sect…" someone beside him corrected him.

Suddenly, they heard an ear-piercing scream. "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" it came from Xi Ning.

He audience was puzzled. What is she screaming at again? They thought and looked at her, then followed her gaze. Only for them to be shocked when they saw the emcee, who still hasn\'t left the stage that far, was lying on the ground. His head was rolling beside his body, and the blood from his neck spilled on the ground.

"What…" they muttered under their breath and they turned to look at the stage. Then, their eyes widened when they saw some strands of hair of Cheng Sheng fell to his feet.

Cheng Sheng looked at the strands of his hair on his shoulder, then raised his hand to pat them off. "I already gave you the first strike, yet you missed your chance." Cheng Sheng told Jing Yu, his voice deadpan.

Jing Yu laughed and scratched his head. "Aia~ I missed." He said, his tone helpless. "I won\'t next time." He said.

Chen Han, Jing Cheng and Xi Ming were shocked. "WHA – !" they sharply inhaled. Xi Ning was still screaming on the side and the woken Xi Xing and Gong Xian immediately covered her mouth.

"What the… what happened?!" Jing Hei reacted as he and Qian Lin rose from their seat. Jing Bai was stunned and Jing Kang was dumbfounded.

"Jing Kang." Jing Cheng called, his face dark as he looked at Jing Kang.

"Don\'t misunderstand me." Jing Kang calmly said, though his face is pale. "I really didn\'t know he entered the competition." He told them.

Jing Cheng naturally knew Jing Kang, thus he didn\'t press on the matter.

"AH SHENG!" Chen Han finally reacted. His shout woke the startled audience.

"AAAAAAHHH!!!!" they screamed in fright. "What was that?!" they asked as they looked at Jing Yu, who had changed his attitude, in horror.

"Cheng-shidi!" Sun Yi, Li Tian, Lei Qing and Feng Mo cried in alarm.

"Cheng-shixiong!" Lei Ling and You Rou cried. "Huh - ?" they said when they saw Fei Yin flashed beside them and disappeared. The next second and they saw Fei Yin is about to climb the stage! "Da shixiong!" they called.

However, before Fei Yin could, Yu Sheng appeared beside him and pulled him back. Everything was so fast. "Calm down." Yu Sheng told Fei Yin.

"But, that\'s - !" Fei Yin said and looked at Jing Yu whose ears became pointed and his eyes are red.

"A demonic cultivator?!" the sect leaders and the Alliance elders exclaimed in shock.

"No." Yu Sheng said and looked at Jing Yu who showed his tail. "He\'s from our world." He said, his expression serious.
