Liu Wentao was feeling both happy and a little angry, mixed with an inexplicable helplessness.
The good news is that this time the shuttle fist will not be expelled from the martial arts association.
What annoyed him was that Xu Xianxian, the successor, actually concealed her true level from him, the master.
As for the helplessness, it was that looking at the other person's innocent and naive face, many of the words I wanted to say were held back again.
"Xianxian, Master is proud of you."
Liu Wentao looked at that delicate and lovely face and suddenly felt a little guilty. He could only speak slowly.
From zero foundation to now, it took less than half a year for this true disciple to break through to the peak of level five. Even in the Thunder School, this is at the level of a genius and can enjoy a lot of martial arts resources.
But in the shuttle hall, apart from some financial subsidies every month, there is nothing else.
"Basic operations, basic operations."
Xu Xianxian was just an ordinary person in her previous life. When she was praised by others, her mentality naturally became a little inflated. She had an expression of "I am the best in the world" on her face and pretended to be humble.
As a ninth-level martial artist, her martial arts skills were beyond imagination. She didn't notice any of the martial artists present. Only those Force users hidden among the audience were her true targets.
"Our Shuttle Fist ranking should be secure this time." Liu Wentao took a deep breath and whispered, "Young martial artists at the peak of level five are extremely rare among small and medium-sized schools. As long as you don't underestimate the enemy, you shouldn't be easily defeated."
"Master, don't worry. This time, the Shuttle School will be protected by me, the next leader."
Xu Xianxian nodded her head and said very seriously.
She had decided from the beginning that she would win five or six games first, stabilize her ranking in shuttle fist, and then surrender if she met a sixth-level martial artist.
In this kind of competition, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it would not be beneficial for her to steal the show. After all, her path was unique, not the Force-wielding system, but an unprecedented extension of the martial arts.
To put it bluntly, to those who use the Force, she is an alien.
So in this case, living under the shadow of his sister may not be a bad thing. At least it can divert most of the attention and make a fortune in silence.
What Xu Xianxian didn't notice was that there were two men with ordinary looks and temperament sitting in the audience seats on both sides, looking at her with puzzled expressions.
"Why did the side quest change?" One of the men with glasses said with a depressed look on his face, "We agreed to help Huang He reach the semi-finals, but why was he eliminated after the first round? Isn't Huang He's strength too weak?"
In the side story he received, Huang He, who possessed the fourth-level peak martial arts, could easily enter the semi-finals. They just needed to give him a few pointers at the beginning.
But he didn't expect that in the first game, he was punched away by a loli passerby who appeared out of nowhere.
"...Are passersby so powerful now?" The man next to him shook his head and couldn't help but say, "Forget it, luckily this is just a side quest and doesn't affect the overall situation. Our main task now is to keep a close eye on Lin Kongzhi and prevent him from causing chaos in the arena and creating the Bloody Gate. This is the main quest. If we fail, we will all be wiped out."
"Then this passerby girl..."
The man with glasses made a gesture of wiping his neck.
He is very unhappy now. The reward he had finally gotten was lost due to complications.
"Leave it to passersby. We, the Adventers, should not interfere too much and attract unnecessary attention." The man next to him said repeatedly, "Don't forget, the natives of this world are not only martial artists, but also those who use the Force. They pose the greatest threat."
"If we face any Force user right now, we won't get any results. Even if we want to stop Lin Kongzhi, we still have to rely on the power of the natives."
"This world's power system is very strong, and there are many strong people. It is different from those other small worlds. We should be cautious."
Even those who descended from the Dark Crimson Book were no match for the natives here. Although they called the people here natives, if they were discovered by the strong, they would be immediately captured and sliced into pieces.
Compared with the amount of power, the greatest advantage of these adventers is their understanding of information and intelligence, and their knowledge of the general direction of the future.
"Alright then, let's let this little girl go. She's just a side character like that, and she won't last long anyway." The man with glasses shrugged, glanced around, and whispered, "There are other teams hiding in this venue, and some may even be on Lin Kongzhi's side. Compared to these natives, the other Adventers are the real enemies."
......
After Xu Xianxian won the first match, her opponent in the second match was just a third-level martial artist. He immediately admitted defeat and surrendered after entering the stage, leaving no room for a fight.
Until this point, Shuttle Fist only needs to win one more game to advance to the semi-finals, and no longer have to worry about being expelled from the association due to low ranking.
The third draw was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. After playing two games, Xu Xianxian did not stay for long and hurried back to the hotel with her master.
After all, there was a little girl crying for food in her room, rolling around on the bed and crying out for food. Given this situation, if Xu Xianxian didn't come back, Xiaoqing might just run out to look for her.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'm back." Seeing Xiaoqing rolling in a ball, Xu Xianxian looked hopeless. She rolled up her right sleeve, revealing her snow-white and tender arm. She half-knelt down and stretched out her arm: "Eat, eat."
She didn't know what kind of creature Xiaoqing was, and she wasn't even sure if she was human. Anyway, she didn't eat normal food, but only absorbed her Dan Qi to fill her stomach.
"Hungry..." Xiaoqing rolled into a ball. When she saw Xu Xianxian approaching, she stopped crying and stood up shakily. She stared at the little sister in front of her, tears in her eyes, sobbing intermittently: "Don't... leave... "
Her voice was still intermittent, her pronunciation was a little unclear and stuttering, but it did not prevent her from conveying her meaning to Xu.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the food."
Xu Xianxian was unmoved by the cute Xiaoqing. She stretched out her hand and just curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
The big loli has to take care of the small loli's food, clothing, housing and transportation. What kind of thing is this!
As for being cute... it's ridiculous and overestimating one's own abilities to play with an axe in front of Lu Ban.
“Ah!”
Xiaoqing rolled her tearful green eyes and saw that Xu Xianxian seemed a little impatient, so she puffed out her pink cheeks and bit the girl's finger.
