284: 0283 ascends to the summit of Mount Hua 284: 0283 ascends to the summit of Mount Hua Arrogant!
Watching the youth and the big man leave, the three of them felt bitter, although it was the other party who had provoked them, they ended up in such a plight.
But whom could they complain to?
They could only admit that their own strength was lacking; the opponent had been playing the pig to eat the tiger, simply toying with them.
After resting for a while, Li Xiaohu felt a little better, and it wasn’t long before Ye Qiu finally found the three of them.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ye Qiu sensed that sothing was amiss and asked, “What happened?
What’s going on?”
Mu Zhige shook his head, not wanting to tell Ye Qiu about the incident, saying, “It’s nothing, now that you’re here, that’s good.”
Ye Qiu saw a trace of blood on the corner of Li Xiaohu’s mouth, not yet wiped clean.
He walked straight up to Li Xiaohu and pressed, “What exactly happened?”
Li Xiaohu glanced at Mu Zhige and Lin Wurou, and Lin Wurou took the initiative to say, “Let tell it.”
Imdiately afterward, Lin Wurou repeated the events that had just occurred.
“Do you know the na of the person you encountered?” Ye Qiu asked.
The three were silent, apparently clueless, aning that if they wanted to get even, they could only hope to encounter them again at the summit of Mount Hua.
After the four of them regrouped, they began heading towards the mountain’s summit.
On their way, they encountered all sorts of martial artists – so were silent yet extrely skilled, so were arrogant but diocre.
In short, there were all types, and they happened upon a martial artist who coveted Lin Wurou’s beauty.
But this ti, it truly was a low-skilled fellow who was harshly dealt with.
The three vented the resentnt from their previous encounter on him.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but crack a smile, shaking his head at this person’s misfortune to have provoked them of all people.
“Why is it just the three of you?
Where are the other Dragon Group mbers?” Ye Qiu asked.
According to his thinking, those participating in the martial arts convention from the Dragon Group should be travelling together.
Why couldn’t he see Si Ma’ao and the others?
Mu Zhige gave a wry smile and responded, “Although we are all Dragon Group mbers, not everyone is like you, willing to travel with those of us with slightly lesser strength.”
Ye Qiu fell silent.
From what Mu Zhige implied, it seed Si Ma’ao and the others looked down on the three for being weaker and thus decided to act on their own, planning to et at the summit of Mount Hua.
Mindful of the trio’s feelings, Ye Qiu chose not to dwell on the topic.
He smiled, changing the subject, “How many tis have you participated in the North-South Martial Arts Convention?”
“Second ti.”
“Oh?
How far have our Dragon Group mbers gotten in the past?” Ye Qiu asked curiously.
Hearing this, Mu Zhige laughed sheepishly and replied, “With so many masters in the martial world, it’s not easy to beco famous with just one battle.
The best we from the Dragon Group have ever done was to break into the top fifty – even if it was the very last spot, we still managed to make a na for our group.”
Top fifty?
That result was indeed modest.
Considering the skills of Si Ma’ao and others, breaking into the top fifty seed hardly a challenge.
“Previously our Dragon Group lacked personnel and had few experts.
However, in this martial arts convention, I believe our group will achieve distinction.
Not to ntion having a top-tier expert like you, but also Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, and Yuan Zongguang are sure bets for the top fifty.”
“This year is the most powerful year for our Dragon Group, and a year where masters have erged in abundance,” Mu Zhige said.
Although his strength was not the strongest, he had witnessed the growth of the Dragon Group, which developed from a group of a few dozen people to over a hundred.
Even though the number of top experts was still not many, he believed that soon the Dragon Group’s power would beco even more formidable.
“Are you aware of so fierce young martial artists?”
“Speaking of fierce young martial artists, only the Ten Owls, as the top ten entities in the martial arts tournant, have each individual being extrely terrifying.” ntioning the Ten Owls, Mu Zhige’s expression turned a bit solemn.
Ye Qiu, unlike Mu Zhige, was not so cautious about the Ten Owls.
After all, he had encountered Ma Kunqing and Li Futu from the Ten Owls, and even Big Brother ng Chong had the strength comparable to that of the Ten Owls.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s nonchalant deanor, Mu Zhige could only smile helplessly.
Internally he sighed, even if all the mbers of the Dragon Group were combined, they were not a match for an individual from the Ten Owls.
Ye Qiu simply hadn’t t the Ten Owls yet.
Once he experiences their prowess, he will understand where the gap lies.
“Looking at you, it seems like the Ten Owls are nothing in your eyes?” Lin Wurou said indifferently, sowhat disliking Ye Qiu’s smug attitude.
“Miss Lin, those words are not mine, they are entirely yours,” Ye Qiu spread his hands and couldn’t resist teasing her.
It was fortunate there weren’t many people around.
If these words reached the ears of the Ten Owls, they would definitely co looking for trouble.
Lin Wurou gave Ye Qiu a glare, too lazy to engage with him, muttering under her breath, “Hmph, you’ll know what a true master is when you witness the might of the Ten Owls.”
With Ye Qiu’s very sensitive ears, he naturally heard every word of Lin Wurou’s muttering clearly.
He couldn’t help but smile, mumbling to himself, “The Ten Owls?
I wonder how many I could defeat?
Hopefully, they will provide the opportunity for to break through to the pinnacle.”
If Lin Wurou and the others could hear this, they would probably be shocked.
Ye Qiu had no fear of the Ten Owls; on the contrary, he was thinking of using the power of the Ten Owls to break through his current realm.
They must be crazy, even if the three heard this, they probably would think Ye Qiu had lost his mind.
The four of them chatted as they walked, stopping at a pavilion to rest their feet.
But then, they saw a familiar face.
Cheng Tianhu!
Seeing Ye Qiu together with Lin Wurou, Mu Zhige, and Li Xiaohu, Cheng Tianhu’s expression was not very pleasant as he said indifferently, “So you’re all together.”
Ever since Mu Zhige, Lin Wurou, Li Xiaohu, and Cheng Tianhu had returned to base after carrying out an operation, Cheng Tianhu had grown distant from the three.
He could even be described as more reclusive, rarely being seen around the base.
The increasingly solitary Cheng Tianhu had also co to Mount Hua alone.
When they t, there was a slight awkwardness.
It was Li Xiaohu who broke the silence, inviting, “Why don’t we go together?”
Cheng Tianhu shook his head, saying, “No need, I’m waiting for soone here.
You guys go ahead.”
From beginning to end, Cheng Tianhu didn’t say a word to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, Mu Zhige, and the others continued on their way.
Ye Qiu didn’t initiate a conversation either, he was quietly observing Cheng Tianhu all the while.
He noticed that Cheng Tianhu’s power had beco quite stable, even the wild beast aura of transforming into a beast-man was completely concealed, undetectable to anyone.
Hearing that Cheng Tianhu was waiting for soone, Ye Qiu subconsciously thought of the black-clothed person Cheng Tianhu had t that day.
What was he up to?
Ye Qiu couldn’t guess.
He had fought with Cheng Tianhu before, whose strength wasn’t high.
But if Cheng Tianhu was making a deal with the black-clothed man for strength for the martial arts tournant, it didn’t seem to make sense either.
If Cheng Tianhu dared to reveal his beast-man form to the public, he would beco a target of all, becoming the focus of criticism in the martial arts world.
Could there be so other conspiracy?
Ye Qiu was intrigued.
He felt the need to be vigilant about Cheng Tianhu all the ti, to avoid any trouble arising.
