Chapter 106: Chapter 89: The Interaction of Forces (4K)
Li Chengxuan considered himself skilled in maintaining his composure, but he was still young after all, and being belittled to such an extent by Seventh Master made him lose his cool a bit.
His lips twitched, and his expression chilled.
Next to him, Su Bijin quickly interjected,
"Seventh Master, my junior brother didn't mean it like that…"
"Enough."
Seventh Master waved his hand, cutting him off.
"If it's a challenge, then just challenge; no need for this flowery talk. We're not incapable of handling it."
His gaze turned to Li Chengxuan.
"Kid, there's an unwritten rule in martial arts, we try to match challengers with opponents of similar age, but you think because you're young, you can play this game, you've miscalculated."
"This damn rule is nothing in my eyes! Even if you were only three years old, if you dare trouble the Hidden Dragon Dojo, I'd personally squeeze the shit out of you!"
As Xue Jing walked into the training hall and heard this, a bead of sweat trickled down his back.
It seemed... he had entered the Hidden Dragon Dojo through a challenge too.
Is it still time to thank master for not squeezing him?
Su Bijin's face changed.
He didn't think Seventh Master was just bluffing to scare people.
In the past, even Master Jiao Hongyuan, who was far inferior to the formidable figure known as Dragon King, had to pinch his face and admit.
Such an entity, even now a seemingly half-paralyzed old man in a wheelchair, no one could guarantee he was really disabled.
A martial artist who had leaped the Dragon Gate and burnt away his mundane ties, breaking through human limits, who knew what capabilities he had.
Su Bijin quietly stepped forward two steps, subtly shielding Li Chengxuan behind him.
"Heh, then that's even better. I'd also like to see the renowned Hidden Dragon School, which even my master had to bow down to."
Anger flashed in Li Chengxuan's eyes as he stepped forward.
Three sentences not free from shit and piss, damn it, no class.
He wasn't afraid of this old man, a bit of respect by calling him Dragon King, without it, he's just a dead cripple.
"I'm just afraid you can't even stand up!"
At this, Su Bijin's mouth twitched.
But instead of getting angry, Seventh Master chuckled:
"At any other time, you'd already be cleaning up your own shit."
"But today, you're in luck."
"I really want to see how your wild turd compares to our diamond."
He turned his head toward the door.
"Su and Zhu are here!"
Someone shouted.
Li Chengxuan and Su Bijin shifted their attention towards the door.
The surrounding disciples parted to either side, clearing a path.
A youth in a training garment, tall and straight like a young pine, slowly walked over.
His face was handsome, with piercing brows and bright eyes, perfectly proportioned features without a single flaw, shining with brilliance as he walked, as if enhanced by special effects.
Li Chengxuan had always prided himself on his appearance, but upon seeing this youth, he uncontrollably felt a pang of shame.
He narrowed his eyes, avoiding the youth and instead looked at the young girl lagging half a step beside him, his gaze brightening immediately.
"Su."
"Su, Zhu!"
"Su, you came…"
"Su…"
All the disciples greeted the youth reverently.
The latter nodded and smiled back at everyone.
"Su, that person..." Li Chengxuan whispered quietly.
Su Bijin nodded, glancing at Xue Jing.
...That's the one who took out 'Number One' and 'Number Nine.'
Although he knew the person was very young, seeing him in person was still somewhat surprising.
He thought for a moment, then leaned in to whisper, "Junior brother, this guy is strong, if you do fight him, be careful..."
"I wasn't asking about him."
Li Chengxuan waved his hand dismissively, his gaze fixed brazenly on Zhu Shanying, and exclaimed:
"What a cute girl, is she also a direct disciple of Hidden Dragon Dojo?"
Su Bijin paused, feeling that his focus was a bit off, but replied nonetheless:
"Yes... her name seems to be Zhu Shanying, besides Xue Jing, she's the youngest direct disciple of Hidden Dragon Dojo, hardly ever seen in public, quite mysterious."
Li Chengxuan clicked his tongue.
"Su, I've changed my mind, we definitely should foster good relations with Hidden Dragon Dojo, we're all in the same line of work, we should communicate more, seriously communicate..."
Su Bijin: "..."
Soon, Xue Jing and Zhu Shanying, under various gazes, made their way to the center of the hall, to Seventh Master's side.
Zhu Shanying, seeing the person opposite continuously staring at her, frowned slightly, sidestepped two steps, and stood behind Xue Jing, avoiding the gaze.
"Master~"
She sweetly called out.
Xue Jing also respectfully said, "Master."
Seventh Master chuckled in response, "Hmm."
Then he looked at Xue Jing, "Did you hear what was said earlier?"
Xue Jing nodded.
"Go, show him there's a difference even among geniuses," Seventh Master waved his hand.
"Junior brother, beat him up!"
Zhu Shanying, standing behind him, pumped her little fist in encouragement.
She then began directing the surrounding disciples.
"Everyone, back off, move away a bit, clear the area..."
The disciples also knew the main event was starting, moving back to clear the area while eagerly discussing amongst themselves:
"Here comes the good show!"
"Finally we see Su in action."
"Actually, it's not good, this challenger named Li Chengxuan, I've kept up with the recent U19 competitions, this guy is freakishly strong."
"I've seen his matches too, he always deals with his opponents cleanly and never even uses weapons!"
