"How co you have the guts to talk behind soone’s back, but not the nerve to stand up?"
Xiao Xi’s lips curled into a look of disdain, and her contemptuous eyes swept across the crowd, yet nobody ca forward.
"Ha, n!"
Xiao Xi’s scornful tone turned the faces of many martial academy students red with embarrassnt, but considering the way Xiao Xi had taken down several students—who were among the tough ones at the martial hall—without anyone being able to withstand her for a mont, it was clear that anyone else stepping forward would be pointless.
"I’ll go."
Just when the situation was becoming awkward, a burly figure pushed through the crowd and stood up, "Miss, I generally don’t strike won, but you shouldn’t get too carried away either."
"It’s Senior Brother Gao."
"Now, that brat’s in for it. Senior Brother Gao has truly mastered the Yue Family Boxing; he’s ranked among the top three in our martial hall’s strength rankings."
Xiao Xi wasted no ti in speaking, and with a light tap of her foot, she dashed towards Gao Yang, who was clenching his fists. Gao Yang’s eyes narrowed—this girl really had no clue.
Gao Yang took a deep breath, his legs sank, and his muscles tensed up, adopting a defensive posture, obviously still looking down on won.
After all, he was tall and physically imposing, and the opposite party was a delicate-looking girl who probably didn’t even weigh as much as one of his legs.
Xiao Xi saw through his strategy.
Ha, n.
She stomped the ground with her foot, pivoting on her left foot, her right leg whipped out in a "Sweeping Thousands of Army" strike, while Gao Yang raised his arm, which was even more muscular than her thigh, in defense.
The crowd looked on, many smirking faintly at the scene; this girl was indeed violent—but she was just a girl.
Girls are naturally less physically capable than boys, not to ntion the ones she’d floored earlier weren’t exactly experts. They might be decent among these students, having practiced boxing longer, but their strength was just so-so.
But Gao Yang was different. He was genuinely apprenticed.
However, when everyone thought so, the unexpected happened.
They thought that once Gao Yang made his move, this girl would be easily subdued, then withstand a harsh dose of reality—but the result...
Hiss.
The people around sharply inhaled.
They saw Gao Yang, who had raised his arm to block, unable to withstand the whip kick, which still had enough force left to strike his head.
Gao Yang’s head buzzed, and his entire body fell to the side as if hit by a freight truck, even sliding several ters on the ground.
"Holy shit, is she even a woman?"
Gao Yang weighed well over two hundred pounds, and this girl was able to kick him several ters away with one kick—what terrifying power. The students who had been kicked over by the girl all silently swallowed.
"This girl, she’s not ordinary."
Fang Yi took a sharp breath. Gao Yang was considered a strong contender in the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall, at least eting the standards to be apprenticed, and should be several tis stronger than an average person. He even had the qualifications to vie for a spot in the Martial Alliance tournant.
"Hmm."
Yue Songtao also quickly turned things over in his head. The surna Xiao... but he couldn’t think of any family with the surna Xiao in his circles that had such a formidable young female practitioner.
"Heh, that’s all?"
Xiao Xi scoffed coldly, retracting her long leg. So this is a martial hall ranked in the top three of the Southeastern Region—their strength is quite diocre.
"May I know what brings you to our Yue Family Martial Arts Hall, miss?"
Yue Songtao obviously didn’t make a move. It would have been dishonorable to win, and losing would be bad for the hall’s reputation.
Xiao Xi looked up at Yue Songtao, who had stepped forward, "They just called you the hall master, so you should have tickets to the Martial Alliance tournant, right?"
Yue Songtao, upon hearing what the girl said, knew why she had co. "There is a way, but given your skills, miss, you must co from so martial arts background..."
"Stop probing. If you want to ask, fine, but only after beating . If you don’t want to fight , then don’t ask. As long as you have an entry ticket it’s good; I want to join your martial arts hall, no problems, right?"
Xiao Xi interrupted Yue Songtao directly.
Yue Songtao looked at the sowhat arrogant girl, his face betraying no emotion. "My Yue Family Martial Arts Hall is open to the public, as long as you pay, you’re welco to sign up."
Yue Songtao cared about face, at least he needed a way to step down gracefully.
"I have no money."
Xiao Xi replied very directly.
Yue Songtao’s eyelid twitched, at this mont Fang Yi stepped forward to diate. "Our martial arts hall is expanding, and we’re in need of experts like you, miss. If you’re willing to apply, our Yue Family Martial Arts Hall eagerly awaits you."
"As for the entry ticket, the martial arts hall will have an internal competition in a few days. If you manage to co out on top, miss, you’ll naturally get the ticket."
"Will you arrange accommodation and als?"
"Yes, we will."
"Good."
Xiao Xi nodded, accepting the offer. "First, show the place where I’ll be staying."
Yue Songtao watched as the "self-important" Xiao Xi walked away, took a deep breath, and swept his gaze over the disciples in the martial arts hall. "What are you all dawdling for? You can’t even defeat a girl, don’t you feel any sha? Go back to your training!"
After saying this, Yue Songtao turned and walked towards the back courtyard. He realized he had underestimated this Martial Alliance conference. During the last event, the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall was still the Huo Family Martial Arts Hall, and although it had made a stand in Sea City with over a dozen branches.
However, they didn’t participate that ti because they didn’t co to terms with the Xu Family. The head of the martial arts hall, Huo Zhenhua, unexpectedly died in a car accident, an event which actually had so connection to the Martial Alliance conference.
Huo Zhenhua didn’t want his Huo Family Boxing Hall to beco a vassal of the Xu Family, and as a result...
"Master."
"Mm, have you found out anything?"
"No, this girl is tight-lipped, but by the looks of her, she’s here for this Martial Alliance conference, perhaps from a lesser-known martial arts family."
"After all, the spots issued by the Martial Alliance cover most dojos, even so National Martial Arts Families, but inevitably there are so martial families in the folk that don’t qualify."
"Mm."
Yue Songtao nodded upon hearing this, it was the only explanation. "If that’s the case, it seems we won’t have a peaceful period ahead."
"Master, this incident has served as a wake-up call for us. This spot we have is quite hot, and we might have others co to challenge us."
"Do you have a solution?"
"It’s better to channel them than to block them. The skills of today’s girl are clearly honed from childhood. She floored Gao Yang with just one kick, sothing I’m not confident I could do."
"Though one cannot gauge her full strength from that single kick, at the very least she is at the peak of the Explicit Strength. Otherwise, she couldn’t put so much Qi into that kick."
"Among the disciples of our martial arts hall, apart from a few core disciples, those students out there simply can’t be a match for her."
"In that case, why don’t we use so of the spots to recruit these people?"
"Oh!"
Fang Yi whispered sothing into Yue Songtao’s ear.
Li Feng retrieved the Martial Alliance conference entry proof from the mall and then received a ssage from his subordinate.
"Where?"
"Okay, I’ll be right there."
Li Feng hung up the phone with a cold expression, a slight chill crossing his lips. He was never one for magnanimity.
