Chapter 72 A Despicable Man [Seeking votes and continued reading]

"Master..."

This makes it sound like she, Dugu Yan, is the outsider.

This place was my home just yesterday!

The usually proud and arrogant girl felt both frustrated and angry. She didn't know what had gotten into her grandfather. Now the plaque for the Dugu family mansion outside their door had been changed. She wanted to argue but couldn't find the words. She was filled with resentment.

But Grandpa told her last night that she should treat this person who came this morning well, saying that he was very strong and a young genius, and that she must build a good relationship with him and not offend him, otherwise he would stop her monthly allowance.

A child prodigy?

Dugu Yan was dismissive of this. She believed she had seen many geniuses, and very few of them were worthy of her attention.

However, she couldn't directly teach him a lesson, lest she offend him too much and ruin her grandfather's plans.

But she was unwilling to swallow this insult of having her home taken from her...

After weighing the options, she came up with a plan. Suppressing her anger for the time being, she spoke in a gentle and amicable tone, "Come with me, I'll take you to see my grandfather."

Lu Xian raised his hand, gesturing for her to lead the way.

The Lu family mansion was very large, with arched bridges and corridors, ancient and elegant, with lush flowers and plants, and flowing springs on bluestone. Every step was a scenic view, and Lu Xian was very satisfied with his new home.

It just looked a bit deserted; apart from them, there wasn't a single other person to be seen on the road.

"My grandfather said you're very strong?"

Dugu Yan, walking ahead, seemed to be casually trying to find topics to talk about.

"It should be alright." Lu Xian nodded, being quite modest to be honest.

"So confident, huh? I love challenging strong opponents and proving what I lack!" Dugu Yan turned around and chuckled, seemingly without any guile as she eagerly challenged him: "We're about the same age, interested in a match?"

Dugu Yan's inner thoughts: I'll beat you to death, but I'll go easy on him so he doesn't lose face and I don't have to explain it to Grandpa.

"No interest, you're too weak." Lu Xian shook his head.

"No, please~ just think of it as giving me some pointers..." She was like an innocent girl pleading with her neighbor's older brother.

Inner monologue: I have to beat them to a pulp!!!

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her, her brows furrowing slightly. She didn't say anything, silently following behind. She knew someone might be in trouble...

This guy has no mercy for women.

Lu Xian's eyes were strange. He knew Dugu Yan a little. How could a proud and arrogant girl like her play this trick on him?

Something unusual must be amiss; people who act strangely will surely get beaten up.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "Alright, since you're so ambitious, I'll give you some pointers on behalf of your grandfather."

"Great! Then I'll take you to the training ground..."

"No need, this is fine."

"Here?" Dugu Yan was taken aback. Under her feet was a small stone path, surrounded by some shady trees and plants. The place was indeed a bit small, and she couldn't really move around much.

"Yes, right here."

Lu Xian said casually, "It's just some pointers. It'll be over in a moment. Feel free to use your skills."

These words were infuriating. Dugu Yan felt slighted... or rather, despised!

Her fake smile crumbled, gradually fading until her expression was utterly calm, though anger flickered in her eyes. "Since that's the case, then I'll make a fool of myself today!"

She lightly stomped her foot, and three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, fell from above her head, already in an offensive stance.

"Yes, offer it."

Lu Xian picked up the little girl who was riding on his shoulders and licking candy, and let her go to the kitten. He stood there calmly, nodded indifferently, and had the demeanor of an elder educating a child.

Offer it...?

This guy!!!

Dugu Yan was truly angry. With a swift movement of her long legs, she was already in front of Lu Xian in the next second. She turned around and swung her leg, the wind howling, and with great force, she kicked him toward his temple.

Lu Xian calmly raised his right hand, and the whip kick that came at him, as if it had been calculated in advance, precisely struck his palm with a dull thud, and was then grabbed.

The force of the kick did not affect him in the slightest; he stood straight and motionless. On the contrary, the bamboo forest on one side was swayed back and forth by the strong wind generated by the whip kick.

"Your legs are quite resilient, but you're a bit weak!" he commented with a faint smile, holding his ankle with one hand.

"I only used seven-tenths of my strength!" Dugu Yan snorted coldly, no longer holding back. She tried to pull her raised leg away but found it wouldn't budge, as it was firmly held in place.

Her expression changed as she realized that the other party might be a powerful attack-type Soul Master. She immediately became much more serious and reacted very quickly. Using her trapped ankle as a fulcrum, she kicked her other leg towards Lu Xian's chest, trying to force him to let go.

Then, his second leg was also grabbed...

She braced herself with her hands on the ground, her legs held high by Lu Xian, and a look of bewilderment appeared in her eyes...

My mind went completely blank!

What followed was an explosion of shame!

What an embarrassing pose!

If I hadn't been wearing leggings, wouldn't I have been unlucky enough to be seen naked?

Damn it, is this how battles are?

Shouldn't it be a back-and-forth battle?

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

Seeing that she was dazed and unresponsive, Lu Xian took a step forward as if holding onto the handlebars of a tractor. Dugu Yan subconsciously braced herself on the ground and crawled forward to maintain her balance, otherwise her chin would have made intimate contact with the ground.

This is fun!

Lu Xian almost burst out laughing. This scene reminded him of the happy times when he was still in school, when his roommate used to exercise with a push-up roller.

That day, he launched a sneak attack without any regard for martial ethics, lifting his roommate by both legs and making him ride a little train in the dormitory corridor for more than ten minutes!

This time, I will attack in the form of Dugu Yan!

"No... what are you doing... let go!" Dugu Yan shouted, her mind in turmoil, as she snapped out of her daze.

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Lu Xian loosened his grip, and the legs he was holding fell to the ground with a thud. He suppressed a laugh and said, "I was daydreaming. I was just thinking about some happy things."

Dugu Yan angrily got up, her beautiful face now flushed red. She was furious and determined to regain her dignity, gritting her teeth, "Again!"

This time she learned her lesson and switched to her fists instead of her legs. She activated her first and second soul skills simultaneously, giving herself a buff and going all out.

That's right, although she possesses a Beast Martial Soul, it's a rare control-type. Her Soul Skills utilize the venom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent to buff herself and her teammates. Her first Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorous Red Poison, a stimulating poison that enhances the nerves, increasing attack power and speed. Her second Soul Skill: Paralyzing Poison, which eliminates pain and increases defense...

With the enhancement of two soul skills, she was indeed much more powerful. Her set of turtle-like fist techniques was powerful and dazzling.

Wood big wood big wood big——

Ora Ora Ora —

At this moment, no move is better than any move; even Lu Xian couldn't tell where she would throw her punch next.

Overall assessment: This guy is completely incompetent; his flaws are everywhere!

Lu Xian barely suppressed the urge to knock her out with a punch, and instead countered her moves, unable to help but comment, "Your fighting style is completely disorganized, and it's not as powerful as your legwork just now."

But I think I played really well!

This is what a proper battle with back and forth should be like!

What does it mean to be thoroughly satisfied?

Don't even think about fooling me into doing it again!

For the first time, Dugu Yan felt that her boxing skills were so powerful!

"That was satisfying! You despicable scoundrel, are you getting too tough? Come and have a fair fight with me!"

Lu Xian: ...

I'm just practicing with you, and you're acting all high and mighty?

If you put it that way, I'll have no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics and abandon all martial ethics...

The spirit ring beneath his feet flashed and then quickly disappeared.

Lu Xian clasped his thumb and middle finger together, forming a lotus seal.

Hanamichi blooms!
