With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 1318: I’ve always liked him

There was no excitement for the first few matches.

After all, these were matches that didn’t have a core disciple fighting.

The first bracket that was being played out was one that was completely made of inner sect disciples. That was why everyone almost seemed bored as they watched these fights.

It wasn’t as if the fights themselves were bad since the inner sect disciples were still inner sect disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

They were far stronger than many core disciples of lower tier sects.

They were even stronger than the elders of those lower tier sects.

It was just that they couldn’t match the core disciples.

Those core disciples were on a completely different level.

But even though this was how this day started, the audience still didn’t leave. As time passed, there were even more and more people that arrived to sit in the audience and watch.

Many of them had looks of anticipation on their faces.

There was only a single match that they were looking forward to today and it was one between core disciples.

Today was the match between Han Ba and that one core disciple who considered himself unlucky.

That one core disciple thought that it would be easy for him to defeat Han Ba and move on. He thought that his problems would start after his match with Han Ba because of all the other core disciples that he would be matched with.

It was just that he never expected Han Ba’s might.

When it was Han Ba’s turn to fight, the stage was actually cleared out.

There were others that should have been fighting, but they didn’t mind that their fight was delayed. After all, they also wanted to see this fight between Han Ba and that core disciple.

There was no doubt that this one fight was the highlight of the day.

When Han Ba and that core disciple came on stage…

“You should really just give up now, Junior Brother Han.” The way that the core disciple said this was as if he was looking out for Han Ba, but really he was just trying to get Han Ba out of his way.

He was completely looking down on Han Ba when he said this.

After all, he thought that it would be an easy victory against Han Ba.

So he was trying to get Han Ba to back down so that it would be an easy path for him.

“Senior Brother Song, I don’t think that you should look down on me like this. I think that you should take this seriously or else you’ll regret this.”

The core disciple called Senior Brother Song immediately frowned upon hearing this.

He narrowed his eyes to look at Han Ba before saying, “Junior Brother Han, I tried to give you some good advice out of the kindness of my heart, but it doesn’t seem like you’re willing to listen. Since you won’t take the toast that is offered to you, don’t blame me for what is about to happen.”

Han Ba just gave a simple nod without saying anything in response.

Senior Brother Song looked even more incensed when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything else.

It would be too embarrassing for him to say anything when Han Ba acted like this.

In that case…

Still, it felt like it was a bit of a shame to waste this effort in dealing with Han Ba.

It didn’t seem like there would be any surprises to this fight.

“What’s wrong? Senior Brother Song, did you not have a meal today?”

Senior Brother Song deeply knitted his brows as he looked at Han Ba holding his fist like this.

He hadn’t used his full strength since he thought that there was no need and it would have been embarrassing to use his full strength against Han Ba, but Han Ba had proven himself by catching this.

In fact, Han Ba hadn’t even moved a single inch when catching this punch from Senior Brother Song.

It was as if he was made of steel with how firm he was in taking this blow.

“How did you do that?” Senior Brother Song said with a trace of surprise in his voice.

Only Han Ba didn’t answer this as he raised his other hand to punch at Senior Brother Song.

Senior Brother Song was caught off guard by how fast Han Ba moved, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t put up his guard. It was just that he was still looking down on Han Ba even though Han Ba had already proven himself.

In the end, he didn’t use his full power to block this blow from Han Ba.

That was why he was sent flying by this punch from Han Ba.

“Wait…” That was all that Senior Brother Song could say before he was swept off his feet.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Han Ba was still holding his hand, then he would have been sent flying from the arena.

Since Han Ba was still holding his hand, Senior Brother Song was only sent flying into the ground under them.

He was picked up and then pulled back by Han Ba, slamming down into the ground.

Though that didn’t mean that the force that Han Ba hit him with disappeared.

That force hit him head on when he slammed down into the ground.

Senior Brother Song did his best to push through it, but it really was hard for him when he was slammed down like this. All he could do was look up with a groggy look in his eyes at Han Ba.

Other than this groggy look, there was a confused look that showed that he didn’t understand where Han Ba had gotten this power from.

It really didn’t make any sense at all that Han Ba would be this strong when he was one of the younger ones among them.

At the same time, it wasn’t as if Han Ba had ever shown this kind of power previously.

All that Han Ba did was hide himself away and cultivate in secret…

“Was he just playing the pig to eat the tiger?” Senior Brother Song’s last thought was this when he saw Han Ba raising his fist again.

With how dazed and concussed he was, he just wasn’t able to put up much of a guard. He was able to raise his hand and gather a bit of spiritual energy, but it was just too hard for him to concentrate when he was in this state.

So in the end, he couldn’t stop Han Ba’s punch from hitting him in the face and knocking him out.

Once Senior Brother Song was knocked out, that was when Han Ba finally let go of his hand.

He turned to look at the referee and asked, “Is it over?”

The referee was hired by Lin Fan, so he wasn’t on Senior Brother Song’s side in the first place. Not to mention that the result was already very clear with how things unfolded, so there was nothing for him to hesitate over.

Once Han Ba’s victory was declared, there was no one that made a sound.

After all, no one could believe what just happened.

They had thought that it would be a hard fight between core disciples like this, but Han Ba had proven them all wrong. Han Ba had shown them just how much stronger he was than Senior Brother Song with just two punches.

“How did he become this strong?” The core disciples couldn’t help asking their lackeys who just shook their heads to show that they didn’t know.

Even though Senior Brother Song had underestimated Han Ba, that didn’t mean that it should have been this easy.

Senior Brother Song wasn’t considered weak among the core disciples.

There was a reason that he had the pride that he had.

So for him to be defeated this easily, it was clear that Han Ba had hidden his powers.

The core disciple that was supposed to be Han Ba’s next opponent couldn’t help taking this seriously. After all, he wasn’t actually stronger than Senior Brother Song.

If they were to fight, it would be quite the even fight.

And now he had to face Han Ba who defeated Senior Brother Song that easily…

It certainly wasn’t going to be an easy match for him.

Lin Fan was a bit surprised by how easily Han Ba won, but he wasn’t surprised that Han Ba won.

Ye Qing Huan had even guaranteed that Han Ba would win, so there was nothing for him to worry about.

Though when Han Ba won, Ye Qing Huan said with a smile, “I knew that I always liked him before for a good reason. He certainly didn’t disappoint at all.”

Hearing this, Lin Fan teased, “So you liked him before me? Does that mean that I should be jealous?”

Though it was simple teasing that Ye Qing Huan should have ignored, she suddenly waved her hand and said, “No, no, it isn’t like that at all. I’m not interested in him in the slightest.”

There was even a blush that came over her face before she said, “What are you even making me say?”

Lin Fan couldn’t help being caught off guard seeing the way that Ye Qing Huan acted.

But he revealed a smile in the end since he knew why she was acting this way.

If she really didn’t care about him, there was no way that she would have acted this way.

She really didn’t want him to misunderstand, which was why she acted this way.

It made him feel a bit warm on the inside.
