Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1422

A tumult of voices broke out.

"Read the room, Fade. Why don't you show off some of your skills and let us witness your strength?"

"Show off? I think he has nothing to show off, hence why he chose to walk over there silently."

Someone snickered, "He's far from being Young Master Faxon's opponent. There's nothing to look forward to in this match."

Faxon narrowed his eyes as Fade strode towards him, shooting him a withering stare.

As he watched Fade walk towards the middle of the wooden bridge, Faxon suddenly thought of an idea.

He shifted his body towards Fade's direction, and his right hand dropped from behind his back to his side. With a flick of his fingers, a burst of energy shot out soundlessly from his hand and flew toward the pillars under the wooden bridge.

Given that this attack was extremely stealthy, the crowd was too engrossed in their conversation to notice it.

The pillar of the wooden bridge instantly broke under the impact of the energy and the entire bridge collapsed with a crash. Startled, the audience gasped at the sudden commotion.

"F*ck, what's going on! The bridge just collapsed."

"How is that possible? The bridge was very sturdy. How could it collapse all of a sudden?"

"Is someone sabotaging the competition?"

Someone snorted. "Can't you see? It's obvious that someone is deliberately trying to make things difficult for Fade!"

"Look, the bridge has collapsed. Let's see how he will deal with it."

"What can he do? Will he fly and jump into the fighting ring? Or will he fall into the water and make a mess of himself? No matter what he does, he'll end up miserable!"

As the people were busy gossiping, the remnants of the wooden bridge crumbled and flopped into the lake with a loud rumbling noise, splashing water everywhere as they hit the surface of the lake.

Just as everyone was expecting Fade to emerge from the lake looking wretched, they were instead amazed by the incredible sight before their eyes.

Although the wooden bridge had collapsed, Fade, on the other hand, was unflinching. Step by step, he continued ambling towards the center of the lake, as if he hadn't yet noticed that the wooden bridge unde his feet had vanished.

"What, what's going on?"

"Is Fade walking on air? He looks like an astronaut!"

"How on earth did he do it? By the gods, his power is terrifying!"

"His movements didn't seem to change at all, which means that he hasn't been stepping on the bridge since the very beginning. Instead, he has been walking on air the whole time!"

Everyone gaped at Fade. Meanwhile, some of Faxon's female admirers could not help but scrunch their faces in displeasure.

"So what? It's just walking on air. What's so amazing about it?"

"That's right. He's not even half the man Young Master Faxon is. I wonder why the heck are they so surprised."

"It's just a little trick, don't make a fuss about it. If it was Young Master Faxon, he'd amaze us an

even more impressive trick."

A few martial artists sitting beside them couldn't stand their remarks anymore.

"If you're not as powerful as him, then keep your mouth shut. Keep your jokes to yourselves."

"D*mn right. Don't make a fool of yourself if you don't even have that level of knowledge or ability in the first place."

"You call that a little trick? Do you know what a feat it is to walk on air?"

"Not only does walking on air require strong positive energy as support, but it also requires precise control over one's positive energy. Otherwise, once your positive energy becomes unstable, you won't be able to support your body and lose balance mid-air."

"Recall Fade's gait when he crossed the bridge. If it wasn't for the wooden bridge collapsing, we wouldn't have noticed that he was walking on air. This proves that he has exceptional control over his positive energy."

After listening to their arguments, Faxon's admirers cut them dirty looks and pursed their lips as they kept fumbling for excuses to defend Faxon.

"Keep bragging. It doesn't change the fact that his trick could never compare to the way Young Master Faxon jumped elegantly into the fighting ring with a single leap."

"Yeah. Who gives a care about his control or precision? He'll lose the fight for sure anyway."

"No matter what, Fade is certainly not a match for our Young Master Faxon."

The martial artists next to them shook their heads in defeat as they scoffed at the blind madness of the female admirers, no longer in the mood to explain further.

One sneered, "Oh well, you're just a bunch of dumb fangirls. Suit yourself!"

"If I told you just now that Faxon has a seventy percent chance of winning, I take it back. After Fade showed us this trick, I think he has at least fifty percent chance of winning."

"I disagree. I think Fade has the upper hand, and he has a sixty percent chance of winning."

In the midst of the crowd's clamor, Faxon's plan to humiliate Fade was foiled. He scowled at him when he stepped into the fighting ring. "You are quite good at showing off! However, your fancy tricks are useless in the face of a real battle."

He paused and smirked. "Because I won't give you the chance to use it." His eyes turned cold and arrogant as he continued, "The incident at the auction a few days ago, the murder of Egas, and Leighton's injury. I will make you pay for them one by one, Fade. When the time comes, you will learn the hard way the consequences of offending me..."

"Why are you blabbering so much? If you want to fight, then fight. Stop being a sissy!" Fade interrupted him with a frown.

"You..." Faxon was furious. No one had ever insulted him in public like this before. His perfectly arched eyebrows pulled closer, and his nostrils flared. "Since you have a death wish, I'll do you the courtesy of fulfilling it."

The positive energy in his body blasted out like a majestic wave as he spoke.

Waves after waves of positive energy roiled on the surface of his body as they expanded, then transformed into a giant on the arena.

His late-stage Earth Level positive energy erupted instantly. Not only did his energy envelop the entire main arena, even the lake water under the fighting ring was also under its manipulation.

Just a while ago, the peaceful lake was still undulating gently under the gentle breeze.

However, in the blink of an eye, plumes of white mist appeared on its surface and rose towards the sky. Frost began to crystallize on the surface of the lake.

The frost spread from the center of Swallow Lake, where the main arena was located, and across the lake surface rapidly, turning the entire lake into ice.

Even the audience by the lake could sense the spine- chilling cold. Some lower-level martial artists shuddered uncontrollably as they hugged themselves and pulled their clothes tighter around their bodies. Despite the cold, many of the audience were excited, and their eyes lit with enthusiasm as though they were about to ignite the air around them.

"Young Master Faxon has made his first move. His skills are too intimidating."

"Straight away, he froze the surface of the lake just like that. Even many famous and experienced Earth Level martial artists couldn't achieve this kind of skill!"

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but this should be Thousand-miles Freezing Skill, a secret technique by the Chiang family." "But words have it that only Heaven Level martial artists could perform the Chiang family's Thousand-mile Freezing Skill. How can Faxon..."
