A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Looking at the assassins, Zhao Yuxuan rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming, and walked forward. "What move should I use? 'The Dragon Regrets'? Or 'The Hidden Dragon Should Not Be Used,' or 'The Dragon Appears in the Wild.' I can't tell them apart."

"Kid, don't be so arrogant. Our Blood Fiend Group has killed countless people. If you act arrogantly in front of us, we'll kill you first, then that little girl."

A man in black shouted, followed by several people attacking almost simultaneously. Their attacks completely blocked Zhao Yuxuan's escape routes, aiming to kill him with a single blow.

Faced with this relentless attack, it would be a lie to say that Zhao Yuxuan wasn't flustered. However, at this moment, he remembered what Lin Xueyi had told him: the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was the most powerful martial art in the world. No matter how fancy the enemy's moves were, one palm strike would be enough.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxuan took a deep breath, channeled his energy into his palms, and gathered all his true energy into a single strike, unleashing the "Regretful Dragon" attack.

Although the dragon's roar was not as earth-shattering as Lin Xueyi's, it was still a whistling sound. The power of the single palm strike made the assassins feel apprehensive, forcing them to abandon their attacks and focus on defense.

As the dragon's roar fell, broken swords littered the ground. Several men in black stared in horror at Zhao Yuxuan, who was still standing before them. With this single blow, they had all been defeated, and some had even died on the spot.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan was also stunned. He knew that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was very powerful. His master had always used this martial art and there was usually no enemy he couldn't defeat with one palm strike.

He had always thought that this was mainly due to his master's high level of internal energy cultivation, but he never expected that his own attack would have such power.

"master..."

"Not bad. This time I did get the feeling of the extreme power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. But I still need to practice more, and I can't slack off on my internal energy cultivation. You know, the later moves of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are basically impossible to execute without a deep level of cultivation."

Looking at the power of her disciple's palm strike, Lin Xueyi couldn't help but marvel at how the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was truly a bug-level martial art. It didn't require high comprehension; as long as one practiced diligently, one could reach a certain level. However, there was also a problem.

That is, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms consumes the most internal energy. When encountering an equally matched opponent, if one's internal strength is insufficient, one can hardly last long before being defeated.

“Disciple, come here. Show me how you strike that side with your palm.”

Immersed in the joy of his victory, Zhao Yuxuan did not notice the strange tone in his master's voice and thought it was a normal test.

Without a second thought, he thrust his palm at the tree not far away. Lin Xueyi could only sigh helplessly at the power of this palm. Sure enough, although Zhao Yuxuan had made a breakthrough in the moves of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, his cultivation level had become his real weakness, and even she was powerless to change it.

"From now on, you can only strike a maximum of three times. When you encounter an opponent of equal strength, after three strikes, if there is no clear winner, you must admit defeat. Unless your internal energy has made significant progress, your internal energy simply cannot support the consumption of a fourth strike."

"Huh? Is that what you're talking about?"

"I told you this because I care about you, why are you having a problem with it?"

"Haha, no, how could I dare? Master, I'll go rest my internal energy right now, I absolutely won't let you down."

"Hurry up and go, don't get in the way." Lin Xueyi waved her hand impatiently at Zhao Yuxuan, and the next second she was back in the carriage.

However, what she didn't know was that some distance away from her, two other groups were also dumbfounded by the situation, completely unprepared for such an outcome.

They originally intended to go and rescue the people, but the man named Zhao Yuxuan actually defeated all the black-clad assassins on the spot with a single palm strike, leaving no survivors.

"This...this...this Zhao Yuxuan is the young lady's apprentice, right? Is an apprentice this powerful?"

One of the forces was the Holy Dragon Palace, led by Jian Yu, the guard leader specially prepared for Lin Xueyi by the Holy Dragon Palace. However, at this moment, she had serious doubts about her mission.

Is this really meant for them to protect the young lady? One of her disciples was able to defeat several assassins with a single palm strike. Even ten of them, without forming a formation, couldn't do that.

Scratching his head, he really wanted to ask their direct superiors, but after thinking about it, he realized that the people in the palace probably already knew about these things. The purpose of sending them here was probably to prevent someone from trying to use a human wave tactic.

"Big sister, the young lady is so amazing, can we relax a bit now?"

At this moment, the youngest girl looked at Jian Yu with some anticipation. Being the youngest, she naturally had the biggest desire to play. After learning that Lin Xueyi's cultivation was profound, she naturally thought about whether she could slack off and be lazy.

"You should know what our mission is. No matter what, the young lady's safety is the top priority. Everyone, stay alert. The more alert you are, the less we can afford to be careless. Anyone who can hurt the young lady is definitely not an ordinary person. When that happens, we will risk our lives to protect the young lady's safety, understand?"

At this moment, Jianyu was very clear that if someone really came to harm Lin Xueyi, and their cultivation was even higher than hers, then even if all ten of them went up, they probably wouldn't be a match for the other party. At that time, they would naturally have to fight to the death to give Lin Xueyi a chance to survive. This was probably what the Palace Master and the others were thinking.

Knowing the Palace Master's thoughts, Jian Yu felt no regret. If it weren't for the Holy Dragon Palace taking in these orphans, they would probably have died in the martial world long ago. Now, it was just a matter of them returning the lives they should have lost long ago. What was there to be unhappy about?

The other group, equally terrified by Zhao Yuxuan's power, also had their own thoughts: "You all need to be careful. Elder Feng said to keep a close eye on those assassins and make sure they don't actually harm the youngest girl. As for the others, their lives are up to them."

"I say, what's going on with Valley Master? Why is he protecting such a young girl? We've followed her all the way from Binzhou to Qingzhou without resting much. Just who is this girl?"

With a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, a woman looked curiously from a distance at the little girl who was leaning against the carriage and chatting with another woman.

"I don't understand why the Valley Master would protect such a useless little girl. Is she perhaps his illegitimate child? Hey, why are you hitting me?"

"Not hit you? If I don't hit you, you're dead. Do you think you can just guess about the Valley Master's affairs? Be careful, or the Valley Master might throw you into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave."

The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, as its name suggests, is a veritable den of snakes; almost no one who enters ever comes out alive. This threat silenced the surrounding crowd, who had been speculating, and they dared not utter another word.

"No matter what that girl's identity is, it's not something we can guess. If we anger the Valley Master, don't say I didn't warn you. Alright, everyone, stay alert. If something really happens, it won't just be punishment; we'll all lose face big time."

Main Text: Chapter Seventy-Nine: Beneath Mount Huating

Along the way, Lin Xueyi and her group seemed to have opened a Pandora's box, with assassins appearing one after another in front of them. Of course, these assassins also became experience points for Zhao Yuxuan, making him more and more skilled in actual combat.

His mastery of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms astonished the young heroes he encountered along the way. They were amazed that the only son of the richest man in Luoxie City, Qingzhou, possessed such cultivation.

At this moment, Lin Xueyi and the others had arrived at the foot of Huating Mountain. It is said that this year's Young Heroes Gathering will be held here. Lin Xueyi looked up at the towering mountain and couldn't help but admire it.

"Miss Lin, here's your candied hawthorn. Have something to eat first, and we'll find a nice place to rest when we get to the top of the mountain."

"Going up the mountain to rest?" Lin Xueyi looked at Ye Qin'er in surprise. Although there was the Huating Sword Sect and Qingyuan Temple on the mountain, there were quite a few people who came here. If they all stayed on the mountain, it was obvious that there wouldn't be enough room.

Seemingly aware of Lin Xueyi's doubts, Ye Qin'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Miss, I am a member of Baifeng Pavilion. Although I am your personal maid now, those people don't know that. If I go, they will still give me some face."

Even if they ask the Pavilion Master for confirmation, the Pavilion Master will definitely side with her. It's just staying for a few days, what's the big deal?

Ye Qin'er's words made Lin Xueyi subconsciously want to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, it was nothing. At most, it was just asking for a place to stay, which was not a big deal for a sect. The only difference was the timing, as it was a peak tourist season.

"In that case, I'll trouble you in advance."

"No trouble at all. How could this be troublesome? A grandmaster is staying at their sect. They're the ones who benefit. What's the trouble?"

Ye Qin'er understood perfectly well that the presence of a grandmaster was a tremendous form of publicity for a sect, something that sects would be extremely eager to obtain.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Miss, I'll go check out the Huating Sword Sect first. Qingyuan Temple is a Buddhist temple after all, and it would be a bit troublesome for us to stay there."

"Yes, that's right. Why don't you go to the Huating Sword Sect first? If that doesn't work, we can disguise ourselves as men and go to Qingyuan Temple. We don't want to cause them any trouble, that would be bad."

"Don't worry, I know everything, there won't be any problems." Ye Qin'er said, then dismounted, handed the horse to a servant, and used her lightness skill to gallop towards Huating Mountain.

"Ah, thank goodness Qin'er was with us. If it weren't for her, we might have had to find a place to stay at the foot of the mountain. Climbing the mountain again and again would have been quite uncomfortable."

"Oh... isn't this our young master Zhao? What, young master Zhao, you're also in the mood to participate in this Young Heroes Gathering? Haha, don't be ridiculous. Your Zhao family should be thanking your lucky stars for even making it to the day after tomorrow, and you still want to come here to participate in the Heroes Gathering?"

Just as Lin Xueyi and the others were slowly walking up the mountain, they suddenly heard a very annoying voice coming from behind them.

"Oh dear, Young Master Zhao, your tastes have changed! You're even bringing along a little girl who's not even of marriageable age yet. What, are you tired of all that rich food and want to try some simple vegetables?"

"Who is this person? How can he be so rude? Aren't young heroes supposed to be well-mannered? How come this one doesn't show any of that?"

If Lin Xueyi could tolerate it at first, after hearing these words, she suddenly felt that she really couldn't hold back anymore. This guy was simply challenging the limits of human tolerance.

Especially looking at this guy's pointed, monkey-like face, he felt even more inclined to flatten him. He clenched and unclenched his little fist, then looked around at the sea of ​​people. If he were to strike with his palm, there would probably be innocent people dying from some unknown area-of-effect attack.

“Master, this is Sun Liang, the young master of the Forging Manor in Luoxie City, known as Benlei Blade.”

"Wait a minute, does this Sword Forging Manor have some kind of grudge against your family? Why are they so sarcastic and cynical the moment they see you? Have they lost their minds? Or are they just not very bright to begin with?"

"Are you guys ever going to stop? What do you mean by 'losing your mind' or 'not being smart enough'? You're talking way too loudly in your whispers."

He was furious; this woman was practically mocking him. But he couldn't bear the shame of actually laying a hand on a young girl. Stopping his subordinate who wanted to intervene, Sun Liang focused his attention on Zhao Yuxuan.

"Heh, kid, don't think I'll fall for your trick. What, you want me to make a move so you can use it against me and my sister? Don't even think about it. Let me tell you, you and my sister have no chance, it'll never happen."

Lin Xueyi could clearly hear the sound of fists clenching beside her, and could only sigh slightly. This was a problem that others would probably find difficult to solve, and she could only hope that he could let it go.

“Sun Liang, the old master of the Sun family said that as long as my cultivation can cross the Innate Realm, I can marry Yu’er. Do you want to go back on your word?”

Zhao Yuxuan's words did not make Sun Liang feel any sense of crisis. Instead, he let out a sneer, "With your abilities, learning martial arts requires talent. Your family simply doesn't have that. You want to cross the Innate Realm? I think you're just dreaming. If you ask me, you should just obediently find a country bumpkin to marry. My sister, you... have no chance."

"Whether it's a success or not isn't up to you to decide; it's up to me to decide," Zhao Yuxuan said angrily to Sun Liang before turning and leaving.

"Tsk tsk, getting angry out of embarrassment. I'd like to see when you'll be able to marry my sister. Don't make her wait too long, or I can't guarantee we won't marry her off ahead of time."

Lin Xueyi had a very bad impression of this man named Sun Liang, but since it was someone else's business, she shouldn't get involved. However, if possible, she wouldn't mind giving this man a lesson he would never forget.

Imagine being trampled underfoot by a little girl—wouldn't that be a feeling he'd remember for a lifetime? After thinking about it, Lin Xueyi prepared to take action.

“Master, please let me handle my own affairs. I will make him pay for his words on the dueling stage.”

Having already discerned Lin Xueyi's intention to make a move, Zhao Yuxuan spoke first, hoping that Lin Xueyi would give him the opportunity to take action.

However, Sun Liang is the older brother of the person he likes. Is he really going to make a move? Looking at Zhao Yuxuan's determined eyes, Lin Xueyi thought there might be some issues she didn't know about. So she decided to wait and see.

Main Text: Chapter Eighty: The Distinguished Guest of the Hua Ting Sword Sect

The Huating Sword Sect was welcoming the most important guest they had ever received since the sect's founding: a Grandmaster-level expert. This wasn't their statement, but rather that of a disciple from the Hundred Winds Pavilion, so there was no doubt about it.

Therefore, the sect leader and elders of the Huating Sword Sect were all waiting solemnly in front of the sect's gate, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the guests. Then they saw a small convoy of cars, and the very luxurious car at the front was probably the car of that Grandmaster-level expert.

Seeing dozens of people waiting at the door, Lin Xueyi felt a little happy. At least this feeling of being valued didn't make her feel resentful, so she jumped out of the car and walked over.

Ye Qin'er naturally wanted to follow over and give a proper introduction to both parties, but before she could speak, she heard Feng Ke, the head of the Huating Sword Sect, walking over with an excited expression.

"This must be Grandmaster Lin Xueyi's granddaughter. She's really adorable. Uncle will get you some candy in a bit."

"what?"

"Pfft..."

Although Zhao Yuxuan was glared at by Lin Xueyi, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. It really wasn't his fault; such a misunderstanding, though seemingly unexpected, was actually quite reasonable.

"Um, Sect Leader Feng, actually, this is the Grandmaster-level expert I was talking about, Lin Xueyi." Awkwardly, Ye Qin'er explained, leaving the people of the Huating Sword Sect around her dumbfounded as they stared at the little girl in front of them.

Is she really of marriageable age, being so young? And if she's already a Grandmaster at such a young age, doesn't that mean they are all less skilled than a little girl?

While it's true that there are many exceptionally talented juniors in the martial arts world, these juniors are no longer just exceptionally talented, they're downright terrifying. Can't they come up with something more sensible, something that humans can understand?

As for questioning Baifeng Pavilion, that's impossible, because Baifeng Pavilion would never provide false information, and Feng Ke would naturally trust the information Baifeng Pavilion gave him.

The most important thing is to err on the side of caution. If she is not a Grandmaster, then treating her well is simply the proper way to be a guest. If she really is a Grandmaster, then treating her well will earn her the favor of a Grandmaster. This is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Despite thinking this, Feng Ke still smiled somewhat awkwardly before speaking, "So you are Grandmaster Lin Xueyi, I am..."

"Never mind, it's not your fault. It's normal for someone my age to be mistaken for someone else."

She raised her hand to interrupt the sect leader's next words. Seriously, could you please stop bringing up her age? At her age, it's already difficult for her to flirt with young ladies, and she often gets flirted with in return. That's already quite regrettable. Now she's even being called her own granddaughter. Ha, she's her own granddaughter? Is this some kind of move?

"Haha, come on, everyone, welcome Master Lin to rest at our Huating Sword Sect."

Feng Ke appeared very happy at this moment, and repeatedly asked many disciples to come over and help lead the horses and carriages, leading the group into the Sword Sect.

"Master Lin, for this gathering of young heroes, many juniors from various sects have come. Of course, some sects have also sent some well-known masters from the martial arts world, and some of them are staying at our sword sect. So there are quite a few guests here. Please bear with us."

After all, the Huating Sword Sect has many friends here. They will stay here when they come to participate in the Young Heroes Gathering. Masters are often eccentric, and if someone offends her, Feng Ke, as the host, naturally hopes that no one will die.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bloodthirsty person. I won't kill someone over trivial matters."
