Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 87: I Withdraw

Chapter 87: I Withdraw

When Ye Xiao told Lin Hao that no matter what, next time will be his loss, he felt that it was impossible for him to lose because the next time when he will meet Ye Xiao, he would already be able to execute the first slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword. And because of this his strength will also increase by at least three times.
But exactly at this moment, inside his sea of consciousness, Emperor Star Sword trembled. Lin Hao was also able to sense the sword's emotion. He sensed as if the sword was warning him, not to underestimate Ye Xiao. He also sensed another thought of that sword which was that the sword felt the aura of a terrifying beast on Ye Xiao's body.
But he was unable to identified exactly what type of beast it was. This was also the first time that the sword trembled and warned him.
....
Ye Xiao went straight to the Grandmaster Wang and said while scratching his head in embarrassment, "Master, do you still have that healing pill? You see, I am badly injured and I need to recuperate soon so that I can fight for the second place at least."
All the sect leaders as well as the King of the Azure Dragon Kingdom and the Formation master looked at him with strange gaze.
Grandmaster Wang's mouth also twitched a little. He said, "I only had two pills and I already gave it to you and that little girl Lin Ling. Now for healing, I only have the Jade Lotus that you gave me. And it is very important to me so I will not return it to you."
Ye Xiao sighed in regret as it was now impossible for him to show his full strength in next fights and the more he fight, the more his wounds will bleed and it will be more difficult for him to recover.
He thought that the first place was already out of his hands. It was impossible for him to rank first. And from the second rank onward, reward was same. So there was no benefit in continue fighting. He already has much more resources than what a sect could give him. Now, he also has a master whose status is very high in the kingdom. Even the King of the Azure Dragon Country and the sect leaders of the five great sects has to be respectful in front of him.
If he ranked in top ten, he can choose the sect he want to enter but after thinking about everything, he decided to not fight any more.
He knew that if he did this, he will rank fourteen in the competition and will be unable to choose the sect he wanted to enter by his own but he still decided not to fight anymore and not to enter any sect.
Thinking all of this, he turned to host and said, "I will not fight anymore. I withdraw."
At this time, Xu Qing was already standing on the arena in front of Lin Hao to fight. He was extremely nervous.
Host was about to say them to start fighting when he heard a sound which shocked him. He turned to look at the direction from where that sound came and saw it was actually Ye Xiao.
Grandmaster Wang, the five sect leaders, King of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, Lin Hao and many other people, all of them were shocked and surprised after hearing what Ye Xiao said.
Grandmaster Wang stood up from his throne like seat. He looked at his disciple and said, "Ye Xiao, what are you saying? Are you sure you want to withdraw."
"Yes master." Ye Xiao nodded his head respectfully and said, "I am already unable to rank first in this competition. And even though I am sure that I can obtain at least third rank and there is still benefits if I obtain a place in top ten but... what use."
Hearing him, everyone once again become shocked. It was the first time that someone was not happy even after knowing that he can obtain a place in top ten.
"And there is also you. Is there even a need to worry about anything in the Azure Dragon Kingdom when I have you." Ye Xiao again chuckled and tried to look joke with Grandmaster Wang.
"You brat..." Grandmaster Wang became speechless seeing Ye Xiao behaving like this. He never thought that his newly accepted disciple has another side of him.
"Hahaha. What a good young man." Sect Leader of the Profound Sky Sect laughed out loud after hearing Ye Xiao's joke. He also did not wanted Ye Xiao to withdraw but it was not his place to say anything or to decide anything. So he just laughed and didn't said anything anymore."
Seeing Ye Xiao's firm look, Grandmaster Wang looked at the host who was also looking at him and nodded his head.
Then the host announced, "Since, Ye Xiao advanced in the top fourteen and then withdrew from the fight, he will be ranked fourteen. And now the fight to decide the top thirteen will continue."
"Lin Hao and Xu Qing, please start fighting."
Both of them nodded their heads and then turned to look at Ye Xiao. They both still felt that it was unbelievable.
If he can not ranked first, he will simply withdraw.
It was something that none of them ever thought of doing. This type of thought was simply out of their imagination.
Ye Xiao felt someone's gaze. He raised his head to look and saw Lin Hao and Xu Qing looking at him and their astonishment could be clearly seen in their eyes. Ye Xiao simply smiled at him and walked toward other eighty six participants and simply sat down cross legged and started meditating.
He can easily heal if he ate a Jade Lotus. With Jade Lotus, he can heal in the blink of an eye because the Jade Lotus was of fourth grade and has the capability to even heal a Martial Emperor Realm expert after concocting it into pill let alone Ye Xiao who was only at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. But he thought that if he ate a Jade Lotus of fourth grade to heal from his current injuries, it will be simply a waste of Jade Lotus.
Batter than that would be to trade the Jade Lotus in exchange of some other precious herbs and then plant those herbs inside the World of the Heavenly Pearl. Doing this, not only can he obtain other precious herbs, he can even evolve these herbs to a higher rank and multiply them.
When he thought of this he could not help but started drooling. If he really did this, isn't that mean he would have an endless supply of all the rare herbs with a higher rank. It also means that he will be rich, rich beyond anyone's imagination.
.....
"Grandmaster Wang, you previously said that your disciple gave you a Jade Lotus." Sect leader of the Red Moon Sect asked to Grandmaster Wang in a probing tone.
"Yes, it was this old man's disciple that gave jade Lotus to this old man. He found it inside the Cloudsmoke Forest during the first round of the competition." Grandmaster Wang also understood what the sect leader of the Red Moon Sect wants but still he smiled and answered him truthfully and while answering him, he also straighten his back and raised his head in pride.
Other sect leaders also became interested in this topic. Sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect said, "Grandmaster Wang, I wonder if you can sell that Jade Lotus to me. I will give you double amount of its original market price."
"Hehe. Sect Leader Jian, when I was talking with my disciple about the healing pills, I already said that I can not give him the Jade Lotus as it is very important to me. You have also heard that and it really is the truth. I really need this herb very much. As for why, I can not tell you." Grandmaster Wang politely rejected the offer of the sect leader of Heaven Sword Sect.
Hearing this, not only sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect but all other sect leaders and even the King of the Azure Dragon Kingdom sighed in disappointment.
They also wanted to buy the Jade Flower as it is a very rare healing herb.
Even the Formation Master Wu felt extremely jealous at this moment. He was not from the Azure Dragon Kingdom. He was from a different kingdom known as the Wan Fu Kingdom. It was almost twice as big as the Azure Dragon Kingdom and is a second grade kingdom while the Azure Dragon Kingdom is a third grade kingdom.
But even there, the Jade Flower was as rare as it was in the Azure Dragon Kingdom. How can he not be envious of Grandmaster Wang.
