Although the leader of the martial arts alliance has not yet been decided, if this martial arts tournament were to select a "king of arrogance," it would undoubtedly be Jing Zhe!
When he surveyed the room and uttered the question, "Who else?", everyone acknowledged the truth.
This guy... he's a real show-off!
They thought about it bitterly.
If only I could pretend like that...
They were also very envious.
However, whether his act of showing off would succeed depended on the reaction of the audience. After Jing Zhe stood there for about fifteen minutes, no one went up on stage. They were unwilling to go up because they were afraid of Jing Zhe's official background and feared that they might accidentally injure him and incur retaliation from the imperial court.
The reason they dare not go on stage now is entirely out of fear of the powerful strength Jing Zhe has shown—a fifth-level expert can fly away so easily, what qualifications do they have to dare to go up and die?
After waiting a while longer, as if he wasn't quite satisfied, Jing Zhe shook his head and pouted, then turned to look at the Qingyang Sect Leader below the stage: "Qingyang Sect Leader, what should we do next?"
"Ahem, is there anyone else who wants to spar with President Jing?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, the Qingyang Sect Leader could only say, "Then this morning's first place belongs to President Jing! As for yesterday afternoon's first place, it no longer belongs to Young Hero Long of the Kunlun Sect; it will be taken by the second place winner from yesterday afternoon!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe suggested, "Sect Leader Qingyang, we still have plenty of time. Why don't you let the others who haven't gone on stage yet, along with the two who won yesterday, go on stage together? I'm in a hurry. After I defeat them, I can take on the four major sects alone! Anyway, I'm going to become the leader of the martial arts alliance. I'll fight everyone first, so that the others will be convinced!"
Arrogant!
This is what everyone thinks.
One person taking on the entire martial arts world is something that has never happened before. Not to mention an unknown sect like the Heaven and Earth Sect, even established sects like the Azure Cloud Sect or the Kunlun Mirror Sect would not dare to challenge the entire martial arts world!
What's puzzling is that only the people from their small sects were angry, while the contestants from the four major sects—Mu Qingren, Qiu Qianqian, Qingqiu, and Pei Yunxi—were all holding teacups and slowly sipping their tea, seemingly oblivious to Jing Zhe's words.
"President Jing, this... is not in accordance with the rules..."
"Rules are meant to be broken. Does Sect Leader Qingyang not want to end the martial arts tournament as soon as possible?"
"this…"
Jing Zhe pressed him aggressively, leaving the Qingyang Sect Leader speechless for a moment.
"President Jing, the reason why the Qingyang Sect Leader doesn't agree is for your own good! After all, even if you are highly skilled in martial arts, your stamina will eventually decrease if you fight continuously, which is unfair to you!"
At this moment, the Prince of Jin stepped forward and said, "Therefore, I think we should leave it at that this morning. We can decide one person this afternoon, and then, according to the original rules, draw lots to determine tomorrow's matchups!"
Unaware of the feud between Jing Zhe and the Prince of Jin, the crowd assumed that the Prince of Jin was truly concerned for Jing Zhe's sake. They sighed inwardly, wishing they could see Jing Zhe killed by the four major sects right now!
"All right!"
Jing Zhe pursed his lips and said no more.
It seems that Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader must have had a plan, and my suggestion must have disrupted their plans, which is why they disagreed.
Then I'll see what you can do!
Jing Zhe is now extremely confident in his fighting skills and is not afraid of any tricks they might pull!
Subsequently, due to Jing Zhe's actions, the martial arts tournament ended early this morning, and everyone dispersed in all directions.
As expected, Jing Zhe's fame will soon spread throughout Jinxi City and the martial arts world.
...
"To defeat the enemy in three moves—that would surely be a legendary tale!"
"Young and handsome, with superb martial arts skills, a true young hero!"
"Within a few days, the name of Young Hero Jing will surely be sung throughout the martial arts world!"
"..."
"Pah, shameless!"
In Su Moyan's room, Su Xiaoxiao pouted and scolded, "These kinds of words are usually used by others to praise you. You're praising yourself. Don't you have any shame?"
"What difference does it make whether you have a face or not?"
Knowing that no matter how he changed, he couldn't shake the "shameless" label in Su Xiaoxin's mind, Jing Zhe simply stopped arguing and acquiesced.
Then he added, "Also, you're all shy and embarrassed to praise me, so I'll just have to tell you what's on your minds!"
"Pah, how shameless! Who wants to praise you?"
Jing Zhe glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess Xiaoxiao, why do I feel like you're actually quite happy that I won today? Did I guess right?"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe straightened his clothes and smoothed his hair, saying smugly, "But that's understandable. After all, people like me in the martial arts world are rare. Not only am I good-looking and have a sweet tongue, but most importantly, I'm also highly skilled in martial arts! It's understandable that I would feel a little admiration for someone I meet!"
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
Su Xiaoxiao's pretty face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "I...I was just afraid you would be beaten to death. I can't kill you with my own hands, so I'm happy to see you're still alive! You...you're talking nonsense!"
"Okay, I'll assume it's because of that!"
"You... shameless!"
After finishing her story, Su Xiaoxiao, like a sullen young lady, flicked her sleeves, stomped her feet, and then ran away.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe pursed his lips and laughed, "The little princess is still too young!"
Su Moyan listened to the two bickering from the side without saying anything to stop them. On the contrary, she found the scene very heartwarming and even wanted to laugh. She looked at the two of them thoughtfully.
Su Moyan smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao is the most pampered at home. Not only does Prince Jin dote on her, but even when she goes to Jingzhou City, her father will still dote on her. I or Mochen also dote on her, so she has a bit of a temper. President Jing, please be more understanding!"
Jing Zhe smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
He was just teasing Su Xiaoxiao casually. It was quite amusing to have such a little girl by his side and tease her occasionally. However, the only drawback was that she was the daughter of the Prince of Jin and had a deep-seated hatred for him. When he thought of this, Jing Zhe's impression of Su Xiaoxiao would inexplicably turn sour.
Seeing Jing Zhe's bad expression, perhaps having already guessed the reason, Su Moyan said calmly, "President Jing, Prince Jin is Prince Jin, and Xiao Xiao is Xiao Xiao. Even if you and Xiao Xiao often bicker, you should have noticed that Xiao Xiao is kind-hearted, which is very different from her father or brother. Especially today, she was actually afraid that you would suffer on stage, which is why she kept scolding you!"
"Yes, Your Highness is right."
Jing Zhe nodded. Although he had just teased Su Xiaoxiao, her actions off the stage today were honestly quite touching.
After telling Su Moyan, he prepared to go back and rest for a while before going to the martial arts arena in the afternoon.
