In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Dragon and Tiger in Fierce Battle

“Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master!”

The Mo family member, who had been pale with fear, was now beaming with joy. The pain in his leg seemed insignificant.

He had never used such a high-grade pill in his entire life!

Moreover, with the Young Master’s words, the people of Mo Family Village now had a backer in Clearwater City.

Most importantly, he deeply felt the power of this Young Master.

—A Muscle Tempering Stage martial artist, surpassing him, a Bone Tempering Stage martial artist who specialized in leg techniques, in leg techniques!

A Muscle Tempering Stage martial artist, easily killing a Bone Tempering Stage martial artist!

If this had happened in the past, he would never have believed it, but the facts were right before his eyes.

When the Young Master reached the Bone Tempering Stage, could he defeat Marrow Tempering Stage martial artists? And when he reached the Marrow Tempering Stage…

“Hiss—”

He dared not imagine a higher level. But in the foreseeable future, the entire Clearwater City would be his!

Even if the Young Master left Clearwater City in the future, just relying on this reputation, these people would live better than they did in the village.

It had to be said that in this world, the awe and reverence for the strong were deeply ingrained.

But Shen Xing didn’t care what he thought.

In fact, he had already noticed that these martial artists from the villages outside the city were much more simple and honest than those in the city, probably because their social circles were smaller and more tightly knit.

But no matter what, a little reward was nothing compared to helping him achieve Major Completion in his Leg Axe technique.

“Pang Zhan,” he called out to Pang Zhan, “are there often people like this seeking refuge in the city?”

“Replying to the Young Master, it wasn’t common in the past, but it’s been increasing recently,” Pang Zhan answered truthfully. “It seems that the demon beasts in the nearby mountains are restless again. I heard that the City Lord went to investigate this matter. And every time this happens, there are always bandits who take advantage of the chaos.”

“I see,” Shen Xing nodded and ordered, “In the future, if there are any more outsiders who want to follow me, keep the honest ones and get rid of the dishonest ones. Hmph, they’re all watching my every move.”

The last chuckle sent a shiver down Pang Zhan’s spine.

He immediately knelt and explained, “Young Master, I…”

“Enough,” Shen Xing interrupted him. “If you had been informing on me, do you think you would still be alive? I just don’t bother to deal with these ants.”

In Clearwater City, the major powers had been entrenched for a long time. Not only martial artists, but even ordinary people on the streets were likely informants for those powers.

That’s why Shen Xing didn’t plan to waste his time building his own power here.

By the time his strength truly reached a level where he could dominate the entire city, he might not even need the resources here anymore.

However, if there were outsiders like those from Mo Family Village, he might as well take them in.

If he found any promising talents, it would be easy to nurture them. At the very least, they could run errands and gather information, saving him some effort.

Shen Xing still focused more on his own cultivation.

Now that his Leg Axe had reached Major Completion, he could truly show his skills tomorrow. This was what Shen Xing was looking forward to the most.

“I can’t waste this last night,” he returned to his cultivation room and tested his Qi and Blood Strength.

【32.2】

It had only increased by 2.2 in the past two days.

After all, he had spent more energy on cultivating his Martial Path Intents.

But after a night of hard work, it should increase by at least one point.

He would be close to the peak of Muscle Tempering, if not already there.

“Cultivate!”

Swallowing an Ice Soul Pill to restore his Divine Soul, Shen Xing continued his arduous training.

He continued until the next morning, finally testing his Qi and Blood, resting for an hour to recover, and adjusting his condition to its peak before arriving at school.

It was still a little after 7 AM, but many students had already arrived.

An Yiyi was among them.

“You’re always here so early?” Shen Xing walked over and greeted her.

“I just wake up early,” An Yiyi smiled when she saw Shen Xing, then looked him up and down, her smile turning into surprise. “You’ve made a lot of progress this week?”

“You can tell?” Shen Xing was taken aback.

“It’s mainly your demeanor, especially your eyes,” An Yiyi looked at him seriously again. “Now, you give me the feeling of sharpness, and you seem eager to try your skills.”

◈◈◈

“You’re right. I said I would formally challenge you once.”

Shen Xing grinned, not hiding his intentions.

He was indeed full of fighting spirit at this moment.

“No problem,” An Yiyi also seemed to be looking forward to it, but then shook her head. “However, you’ll have to wait.”

“Hmm?” Shen Xing quickly realized. “You’re going to challenge Bai Shayan?”

“Yes,” An Yiyi nodded. “I’ve reached the peak of Muscle Tempering. This is my last chance to challenge him. As long as Bai Shayan hasn’t reached Bone Tempering, I will definitely win!”

This sentence made Shen Xing’s eyes light up.

Although he and An Yiyi hadn’t chatted much online, they had interacted several times. He could vaguely sense that this beautiful girl was cold on the surface but passionate on the inside, especially when it came to martial arts.

If she said she would definitely win, then she really had the confidence to do so!

He just didn’t know if she had a Major Completion Martial Path Intent.

Shen Xing had a premonition that today’s ranking competition would be a fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger!

However, he wasn’t worried or afraid.

Instead, his fighting spirit soared even higher.

This kind of sparring was different from the life-and-death battles in the other world. It was proof of one’s progress in martial arts.

“Then I’ll challenge you after you win,” Shen Xing said with a smile.

“…”

An Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and looked at him deeply.

“Confident?”

“Naturally, I have some confidence.”

“Then I’ll be waiting!”

The students nearby who were paying attention to these two also heard this conversation and were dumbfounded.

One was confident in winning first place, and the other was even more exaggerated, having the confidence to defeat the former.

These two completely disregarded the first place.

Especially Shen Xing.

He had only been in the class for two weeks, and he already had the confidence to compete for first place?

Whether he could succeed or not, just this confidence alone was enough to make people take notice.

This also caused the commotion to spread quickly throughout the class.

So much so that when Bai Shayan and Teacher Lin walked in together, the class instantly became noisy.

“Bai Shayan is here.”

“Teacher Lin is here too.”

“It’s about to start.”

“Bai Shayan hasn’t broken through to Bone Tempering. An Yiyi might actually win!”

“I’m more concerned about that Shen Xing.”

“Shen Xing… can’t see through him, too mysterious.”

“…”

Amidst the noise, Bai Shayan could roughly understand what was happening.

His usually gloomy gaze turned to An Yiyi.

“You want to challenge me?”
