Basangzhuoma’s image in the student’s hearts was a lot better than Wanyan Zhenghe’s. He was seen as a wise and brilliant candidate for the position of tribal chieftain.
The reason he came to the Dragon Subduing Academy was not only to get stronger, but also to search for talented students to form his group. His goal was to unite the entire great plains.
(Other than having an imperial father, what does Wanyan Zhenghe have to compete against me?)
Basangzhuoma held disdain toward that little prince.
“I’ll pass.”
Xianyu Wei shook her head. She would never rely on currying up to someone to live. Moreover, she still had her teacher.
Given her teacher’s talent, she believed that he would soon become a member of the higher management in the Dragon Subduing Academy. Wouldn’t this backing be a lot stronger than what a mere student could provide?
“Xianyu, do you know what you’re missing out on?”
Wurenbu frowned. He wanted to help Basangzhuoma to convince Xianyu Wei. Moreover, to speak the truth, he also wanted to work together with the current Xianyu Wei.
Xianyu Wei stayed silent and looked toward the Huting brothers. From her perspective, her eldest martial brother and second senior martial sister probably wouldn’t attack her. This meant that the enemies were these two at the back!
“Are you really not going to consider it?”
Basangzhuoma wanted Xianyu Wei. Firstly, she was beautiful. He had never seen such a tall girl before. Secondly, Sa Yue was very strong. For Sa Yue to be chasing her for so long without any success, this girl must have her capabilities and was worth winning over to his side.
“I want to study under Teacher’s wings and don’t have time to be your lackey.”
Xianyu Wei refused.
Her words caused Wurenbu’s group to look awkward.
“You’ve acknowledged Teacher Sun as your teacher?”
The second senior martial sister felt curious and also a little envious inside. That couldn’t be true, right? Xianyu Wei was so stupid that even Teacher Song En`min didn’t want her as his student, thus cutting off their teacher-student relationship. Why would Sun Mo take her in?
“No.”
Xianyu Wei shook her head. Although Sun Mo had told her to think about it, she had decided to acknowledge him as her personal teacher. Otherwise, she’d definitely regret it for life if she were to miss this opportunity.
Hu!
Hearing this, Wurenbu and the second senior martial sister secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If it was true, they’d die from jealousy.
In their heart, Sun Mo was more amazing and had better prospects than Song En`min.
Pa pa!
Basangzhuoma clapped his hands. “Since that’s the case, then we’ll leave it to our own capabilities. Meihala, she’s your junior martial sister. You take care of her.”
Basangzhuoma knew human nature well. Even though Meihala and Xianyu Wei had studied under the same teacher, now that they had gone their separate ways and her junior martial sister had found a better path to pursue, Meihala would surely be jealous. She’d definitely go all out to defeat Xianyu Wei then.
As for letting a few junior students attack together, Basangzhuoma didn’t care to do something like that.
The second senior martial sister was called Meihala. Hearing this, she stepped out.
“Xianyu, hand over the white deer. Otherwise, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
Her words were spoken with an air of superiority as if she was doing a charitable act. It was because when they had sparred in the past, Xianyu Wei had never won against her.
“Senior, I’d advise you to let them take her on together!”
Huting De said. Challenging her one by one was just giving her an easy win. They wouldn’t even be able to wear Xianyu Wei down.
Basangzhuoma threw a glance at Huting De and his lips twitched. This beautiful girl who looked like a wild horse and had a pair of long legs was now fully on guard. This showed that she felt pressured to go against Meihala.
Xianyu Wei assumed a battle pose.
“Tsk!”
At the sight of this scene, Meihala felt even more at ease.
This was how Xianyu Wei had been like in the past. Each time they sparred, she was like a sandbag, unable to even retaliate. In private, their teacher had complained a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have decided to give up on her.
“So what if you’ve become prettier? Aptitude is something that one is born with.”
Meihala had an overwhelming sense of superiority. She no longer waited but charged out toward Xianyu Wei.
In her opinion, letting Xianyu Wei stand in front of her for an additional second was a humiliation to herself.
“I must defeat her instantly!”
Meihala was fully focused on staring at Xianyu Wei, going all out.
Clank!
The curved blade was like a crescent.
Xianyu Wei didn’t panic. She followed Sun Mo’s guidance and punched out, attacking. As she still had the trauma of being badly beaten up by her second senior martial sister, she also went all out. Therefore…
Bang!
Xianyu Wei dodged the slash with a flash and then punched Meihala’s wrist.
Kacha!
A crisp bone-breaking sound rang out, shocking everyone. They felt as if a cold current was charging down from the back of their head all the way down to their tailbones.
Ah!
Meihala let out an agonizing cry.
Xianyu Wei had planned on attacking again. But when she heard her second senior martial sister’s cry, she paused, which caused her to be kicked in the lower abdomen by Meihala.
“I’m going to kill you!”
Meihala’s eyes turned red, but she had just charged at Xianyu Wei when she received a punch in her shoulder and went rolling out.
“Huh?”
Wurenbu was stunned. How was their fat junior martial sister so strong? That must be a lie, right?
Basangzhuoma’s judgment was a lot better. Although the two girls had only exchanged blows briefly, he already noticed something. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your fist technique called? Who taught it to you?”
Xianyu Wei paid him no heed. She ran toward Meihala, wanting to help her up. “Second Senior Martial Sister, are you alright?”
“Do you think I look alright?”
Meihala was enraged. She wanted to get up and kill Xianyu Wei, but the pain in her shoulder spread through her entire body, making her tremble and break out in cold sweat.
“Second Senior Martial Sister, I was wrong. I… I didn’t expect that you’re so weak either!”
Xianyu Wei pouted, feeling very aggrieved.
Meihala was already angry to begin with. But upon hearing Xianyu Wei’s statement, an untamed fury burned in her heart. Seeing that Xianyu Wei had gotten close, she raised her leg and kicked out.
“Your junior martial sister is amazing!” Basangzhuoma praised. “Did you guys practice this fist technique before?”
“No!”
Wurenbu shook his head.
“That means this was taught by Teacher Sun who had broken the record. I heard that he knows a lot of saint-tier cultivation arts. He probably taught one to Xianyu Wei.” Basangzhuoma guessed.
“How is that possible? Teacher Sun isn’t an idiot. Why would he teach it to a student who hasn’t been acknowledged as his personal disciple?” Wurenbu shook his head. “Moreover, that Xianyu Wei is very stupid.”
“I am stupid, but you shouldn’t doubt Teacher Sun’s character. He is always wholehearted when teaching students and wouldn’t attach additional value to something just because it belongs to him. He would still teach a student to his best even if they aren’t his personal disciple!”
Xianyu Wei refuted.
Hehe!
Everyone sneered, clearly not believing this. If there was no distinction between personal disciples and normal students, then why would they bother acknowledging each other?
“Let me tell you. I cultivate the Dharma Skyshock Fist, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art, and Teacher Sun is the one who taught me.”
Xianyu Wei put her fists together, her expression looking agitated and infuriated. She felt that her teacher’s character was being undermined.
Sssss!
A peerless-grade saint-tier?
Everyone was greatly astonished.
“That can’t be true, right?”
Huting Le didn’t believe that. He had never come across such a generous teacher.
“This girl has been deceived.” Sa Yue was very confident.
A peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art?
It was something that could let a clan remain prosperous for several hundred years. How could one impart it to someone else so easily?
She must have been deceived.
“Go challenge and test her out,” Basangzhuoma instructed.
Wurenbu had no choice but to go.
“Junior Martial Sister, since you’ve learned a divine art, then how about we have a spar?” Wurenbu challenged.
“Alright!”
Xianyu Wei took a glance at Meihala and did feel like confirming how strong she was. It shouldn’t have been a coincidence that she had defeated her second senior martial sister with a punch, right?
“I won’t take advantage of you. You can put down the white deer first.”
Wurenbu walked out. Although the white deer was small, it was still over 110 jin, capable of affecting one’s movement when carrying it. Wurenbu didn’t wish to win an unfair battle.
“No need.”
Xianyu Wei thought to herself that this bit of weight was nothing, just like a feather. Moreover, she could use it as a shield to block off attacks.
“Stop the crap!” Basangzhuoma urged.
Wurenbu made a move, moving his sword quickly and skillfully. With a shake of his wrist, several sword shadows were formed, and all of them shot toward Xianyu Wei.
He!
Xianyu Wei breathed out loudly, not avoiding the attack. She then dashed out toward Wurenbu like a ferocious wild boar.
Invulnerable Golden Body!
Swoosh!
A layer of faint golden light appeared on Xianyu Wei’s body. Then, she attacked fiercely with both her fists, facing the sword pierces head-on.
Ora ora ora!
Basangzhuoma subconsciously turned his head away as this battle style was really piercing to the eye.
She looked like a strong and handsome steed that was filled with unruliness, but when she fought, she became a wild boar. She looked too fierce.
There weren’t any graceful movement techniques that looked like a splendid dance. There was only one word, rash!
Moreover, Wurenbu was unable to hold up against it.
The punches from this wild boar girl brought out strong wind that could even send up the sand and dust from the ground.
Wurenbu had wanted to go on the offense, but the moment they started exchanging blows, he was rendered to be on the defense. He thought of waiting for an opportunity before retaliating but wasn’t given any chances. It was because the other party’s fists were fast and heavy.
“Don’t think too much. Your advantage is your domineering strength. After activating Invulnerable Golden Body to increase your defense, just attack fiercely.”
Xianyu Wei mumbled her teacher’s preachings and went all out.
In less than a minute, after 23 punches, Wurenbu’s arms turned sore and painful. He couldn’t fend against Xianyu Wei’s fists anymore. Then Xianyu Wei found an opening and hammered a fist into his chest.
Bang!
Wurenbu went flying back, falling to the ground with his mind in a groggy state.
Hu! Hu!
Xianyu Wei panted heavily. However, when she saw Wurenbu in so much pain that he was unable to get back up, she stopped feeling so weary. She lowered her head, looked at her hands, and clenched them a couple of times.
“Ah!”
The wild boar girl’s bellow resonated through the clouds.
The feeling of victory was very good!
Back then, Xianyu Wei wouldn’t have dared to approach Wurenbu for a spar because she wasn’t a match for him at all. Now, after being taught by her teacher for over two months, she managed to defeat him.
Wu wu wu!
It was really great that she could receive her teacher’s guidance.
Xianyu Wei felt that she must have done a lot of charitable acts in her previous life to be able to earn the great fortune of meeting her teacher.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xianyu Wei +1,000. Respect (15,500/100,000).
“I… lost to Xianyu Wei?”
Wurenbu’s face was pale. He first felt disbelief, then doubt and surprise, and eventually astonishment. She was a student that their teacher disowned.
How did she change so much in only three months?
“Did you really learn a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art from Teacher Sun?” Wurenbu asked.
“I, Xianyu Wei, swear that if I were to say a word of lie, I’ll get struck by lightning and reincarnate as a cow or horse for life, never to be human.”
Xianyu Wei raised her right hand and swore.
Everyone fell silent. All the students were stunned with eyes wide and mouths agape.
To think that there was such a generous great teacher in this world?
“My aptitude is better than Xianyu Wei. If I were to go look for Teacher Sun, would I be able to learn such cultivation arts too?”
This thought popped up in Wurenbu’s mind and then started to grow crazily like weed, becoming impossible to restrain.
