A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Lin Xueyi sighed softly and could only helplessly walk outside. Fortunately, the courtyard wasn't large, and she quickly reached the outside, where she saw the two women confronting Zhao Yuxuan. Bored, she then turned her attention to the middle-aged man not far from them.

In Lin Xueyi's eyes, the strongest and most threatening one among them was this man. Tilting her head to look over, she happened to see him looking at her with an eager expression.

Lin Xueyi was all too familiar with this expression. Ruoxue had looked just like this when she wanted to spar with her. Could it be that this man also wanted to fight her?

However, judging from the aura emanating from him, he seems to be even weaker than Ruoxue. Well, it's also possible that this person is stronger than Ruoxue and has hidden his aura.

"Little girl, how about a game? It'll be lunchtime soon, let's warm up and digest first."

"Huh? Isn't this a standoff between my apprentice and these two women? What are you doing jumping in?" Lin Xueyi was stunned. Although she guessed that he might want to spar with her, she never expected that he would be in such a hurry, coming directly to her before Zhao Yuxuan and the two women even had a fight.

“Master, what’s the point of fighting a little girl? This man is the most troublesome. His palm strike just now was very powerful. Why don’t you watch us fight him first?”

Yu Xiulin and Yu Xiuying hated Zhao Yuxuan with a passion. Since arriving in Qingzhou, they had been virtually invincible. Although they were the same age and there were no senior masters among them, their achievements were still very impressive. Therefore, they always looked down on the martial arts world of Qingzhou.

Unexpectedly, they were slapped out of the courtyard here. How could they, who had always had a smooth life and were very proud of themselves, bear this?

Looking at his two blind disciples, Mondley was at a loss for words. He couldn't very well say that this little girl was the most capable among them; even if he did, they probably wouldn't believe him now.

Taking a deep breath and then exhaling, Mondley nodded to Lin Xueyi from a distance, temporarily stepping back to give them space on the battlefield. However, Mondley held a pessimistic view of his two disciples.

When that dragon's roar just now rang out, he knew that this man was no ordinary person and might very well cause his disciple to suffer a crushing defeat. However, this was exactly what he wanted to see.

These two have had a smooth life all along, so they should be given some setbacks to show them that there are always people more capable than you.

Seeing their master take a few steps back, Yu Xiulin and Yu Xiuying relaxed. They were ready to teach the scoundrel who had ambushed them a lesson, but...

"Hey, little girl, get out of there. Don't get hit by the aftershocks of our fight and make you cry. I won't have time to comfort you."

Lin Xueyi stared blankly at the woman in front of her. To be honest, this was the first time someone had spoken to her like this, and the sarcasm in her tone made her somewhat uncomfortable.

"You can hit me however you want. If you can touch a single hair on my head, you win."

This sarcastic reply infuriated Yu Xiuying, who had just spoken, and she even raised her hand to attack Lin Xueyi, but was stopped by Yu Xiulin who was standing to the side.

"Junior sister, that's just a child."

Seeing her senior sister say this, Yu Xiuying angrily lowered her hand and then focused her attention on Zhao Yuxuan. If it weren't for this man, she wouldn't have had to put up with this.

Zhao Yuxuan had fought dozens of battles with assassins and killers along the way, which gave him a lot of experience. However, he still lacked experience in this kind of sparring, and he hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to practice more.

"You filthy man, I'm going to give you a good beating."

Seeing that Zhao Yuxuan had taken his stance, Yu Xiuying immediately attacked. Her arm swung with the force of thunder, as if a tiger's roar was hidden within it.

Seeing that her junior sister had already made a move, Yu Xiulin was afraid that she was in danger, so she quickly joined in. Although the two of them were one after the other, the time difference was almost negligible. They pounced on Zhao Yuxuan like two tigers descending the mountain.

Despite the fierce attack, Zhao Yuxuan showed no fear. He remembered his master's teachings: the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was the most powerful palm technique in the world. No matter how the opponent attacked, he would strike back with a single palm, unstoppable and fearless.

So he did just that, channeling his power into both palms, unleashing a double dragon-drawing-water attack. One side roared like a dragon soaring to the heavens, the other howled like a tiger in the mountains; both were thunderous strikes, without any fancy moves or lighthearted banter, each blow deciding the outcome.

Upon seeing this, Mondley exclaimed that things were going badly. This was no ordinary sparring match; it was a life-or-death struggle. Under such circumstances, he could no longer sit still and lunged towards Zhao Yuxuan.

Before they could even touch Zhao Yuxuan, a tiny foot deflected them back several steps. Looking over, they saw the little girl already among them, having somehow neutralized the three men's thunderous attack.

With a dragon's roar, a crater several meters deep exploded in the ground, and beyond the tiger's roar, the courtyard wall was reduced to ruins. Yet, amidst this fierce battle, the little girl seemed to have done something insignificant: she clapped her hands, pouted, returned to her previous position, and casually ate a dried fruit from the hand of the maid standing next to her.

Main text: Chapter 84 Dragon and Tiger Clash (Part 3)

The small figure stood firmly in place, but those around her no longer dared to regard this petite figure as a harmless little girl. Just now, the three people's thunderous attacks were actually neutralized by her with ease, and she did so after first neutralizing the attack of the Northern Tiger, Mondley.

Feng Ke watched the whole thing, but realized that he simply couldn't do it. Not to mention deflecting Mondley's attack, even if he were to encounter the attacks of the other three, he would be seriously injured for a long time.

He had initially doubted whether Lin Xueyi was a Grandmaster, but now he no longer had any doubts. Instead, after feeling relieved, he was even more excited. He was relieved that he hadn't neglected this young girl because of his doubts, and he was excited because they had actually hosted a super expert at the Grandmaster level. Some top-tier forces might not care about such an opportunity, but for a mid-level force like theirs in the martial arts world...

This is a rare opportunity, and it can even be used as a life-saving asset in the future. If a force that has hosted a Grandmaster-level expert fails to gain the Grandmaster's favor, then it can only be said that their sect leader is a useless person.

Once a good impression is formed, is it still difficult to gain friendship? If a faction can become friends with a Grandmaster, then as long as it doesn't court disaster, its future can almost be described as limitless.

Seeing Lin Xueyi in the arena only fueled Mondley's fighting spirit. He hadn't used his full strength before, since he was dealing with a junior in the martial arts world. It was more of a relief than an attack.

As long as he stopped attacking, he would naturally be pushed out of the battle. Although he would be injured, it would not be an irreversible internal injury. However, he never expected that this little girl, whom he thought had the highest skill, could actually resolve the three-way battle after repelling him. This made him feel even more that the little girl was powerful.

"Girl, they've finished fighting, it's our turn."

With a cracking sound as he gripped his fist, Mondley was eager to have a good spar with Lin Xueyi. He had been stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of the Innate Realm for long enough and hoped to break through and become the sixth, no, the seventh Grandmaster in the martial arts world.

At this point, Mondley already regarded Lin Xueyi as the sixth grandmaster in the martial arts world, so after his breakthrough, he would naturally become the seventh grandmaster. As for whether Lin Xueyi's age made it possible for her to become a grandmaster, that was not a question he was considering.

"Holy crap, isn't that Mondley, the Tiger of the North? What's he doing here?"

"You don't know this, do you? Mondley brought his two newly accepted disciples to Qingzhou to participate in the Young Heroes Gathering. It is said that he has been undefeated in his sparring with others along the way. Alas, Qingzhou may be going to lose face this time."

"So you are Lord Mondley's beloved disciple. No wonder you are so powerful. Look at that huge crater, look at that collapsed wall. The destructive power is truly worthy of the Tiger Roar Thunder Fist, the most ferocious fist in the martial arts world."

The intense impact and the resulting loud noise would naturally be heard, especially since this was the Huating Sword Sect, home to many young swordsmen and their elders who had come to participate in the Young Heroes Gathering. Of course, there were also seasoned martial arts veterans who enjoyed attending such grand events.

At this moment, everyone was drawn to the scene, looking at the imposing Northern Tiger in the arena, and also frightened by the mess of the battlefield. But after all, most of them were martial arts practitioners from Qingzhou, and naturally understood the purpose of this Northern Tiger's visit.

They understood, but if the first place in the Young Heroes Tournament was taken by someone from Yuanzhou, it would be a disgrace to the martial arts world of Qingzhou.

"Hey, what's there to worry about? Our rising stars in Qingzhou are no less impressive. There's Nangong Ping, the Howling Thunder Spear of Fengbo Prefecture; Feng Xiaoyun, the Swallow Moon Sword of Dongling Sword Sect; and A Ling, the Washerwoman of Yunan Xiulou. Aren't they all experts at the peak of the Acquired Realm? With them around, how could we possibly be afraid of the disciples of the Northern Tiger, unless they are all at the Innate Realm?"

The martial arts practitioners around them naturally had some understanding of these rising stars from Qingzhou. Without actually fighting them, they all had their own general judgments and naturally did not think that the newcomers on their side were inferior to those from other states.

As for Lin Xueyi standing in the middle, these people completely ignored her. In their eyes, although a cute little girl was very lovable, they didn't care why she was standing in the middle under these circumstances.

Of course, not everyone ignored Lin Xueyi's presence. Some kindly urged her to leave quickly, as standing in the middle of the field was very dangerous.

"Little girl, that's not a place for you to play. Go over there first. The man opposite you is the Tiger of the North—Mondley, a figure second only to a Grandmaster in the martial arts world. You'd better leave quickly."

"Yes, don't get hurt. We have good food here. Come over here first, so you won't get injured."

"Haha, you Tingyulou wouldn't be thinking of taking this cute little girl into your sect, would you? Little girl, don't believe this perverted old man's words. Tingyulou is no good place."

A young man from Tingyu Tower rolled his eyes at his friend. What did he mean by saying Tingyu Tower wasn't a good place? It was one thing for others to say so, but this guy spent at least half the year loitering around Tingyu Tower under his name, and now he dared to say it wasn't a good place? Had he no shame?

The man who had been given a disapproving look touched his nose and was about to speak when his friend interrupted him.

"Alright, if we don't let her come here, are we going to send her somewhere else? Almost every other place will become a battlefield. What if she gets injured? We can only stop the aftermath of this battle if we all fight together. Are we going to send her somewhere else?"

Upon hearing this, the others fell silent. After all, what he said was true. To pique the interest of the Northern Tiger, Mondley, and to make him so eager to fight, he naturally had to go all out. Although they didn't know who the opponent was, once they clashed, it would be an earth-shattering battle. These people from Qingzhou, who were somewhat famous in the martial arts world, were no match for such a big shot.

“Yu Xuan, Sister Qin’er, what they said is right. You should go over there. If a fight really breaks out, I and this Master Meng might not be able to stop ourselves. You should go over there and stand with them.”

"Xiuying, Xiulin, you two go over there too. Watch the battle carefully later; it will be very useful to you."

Lin Xueyi sent her apprentice and friend over there, and Mondley naturally understood the intensity of the upcoming battle. As for Elder Zhang, Feng Ke, and the servants, they had already run over, and everyone was staring intently at the two people in the center of the arena.

These are true masters, not just those around here who boast or those who only claim to be masters in a small place. This kind of top-level duel in the martial arts world may not be of much help to them, but it is extremely useful for broadening their horizons.

Main Text: Chapter Eighty-Five: A Battle of Dragons and Tigers (The End)

After Zhao Yuxuan, Ye Qin'er, Yu Xiulin, and Yu Xiuying left the arena, only Lin Xueyi and Meng Deli remained. At this moment, the group that had just been trying to persuade Lin Xueyi to leave, or ignoring her, were all surprised to find that the opponent of the Northern Tiger was actually this cute little girl.

For a moment, everyone found it hard to believe, but they dared not question Mondley's judgment. After all, someone whom he regarded as a master was certainly not someone who sought fame and fortune; he must have real talent and skill.

"Girl, how about it, can we start now?"

"Um, wait a minute, wait a minute, Sect Leader Feng, is it really okay for us to fight here? If we damage this place, I can't afford to pay for it."

The moment Lin Xueyi finished speaking, Feng Ke felt the unfriendly gazes of those around him. If they changed locations, what if they suddenly remembered something and decided to back out? The probability was low, but not impossible. It was best to start now. Start immediately. As for losses, with so much power involved, what was there to fear?

"Girls, please go ahead and do it. Even if you destroy a few houses or wipe out the entire Huating Sword Sect, we can rebuild them."

The implication was clear: "Fight without worry, fight as much as you want, we'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong." Hearing this, Feng Ke could only manage a helpless bitter smile. At this moment, he dared not utter a word of objection and could only swallow his pride and bear it.

"Master Lin, please go ahead and fight. It's just a few rooms, which our Huating Sword Sect can afford."

"In that case, I'm relieved."

Turning her head to look at Mondley across from her, the girl who had just been a cute little girl suddenly exuded an aura of power. Mondley felt the oppressive pressure and repeatedly praised her.

At first, the people around Feng Ke were a little suspicious of the fact that he called Lin Xueyi "Grandmaster Lin". But when he suddenly came up with this aura, most of them fell down before they could react. Only a few people who were prepared in advance and those with higher cultivation levels in the Innate Realm managed to keep their feet on their feet.

Even those at the Innate Realm couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Condensing Qi into Form, Grandmaster Realm!"

At this moment, a golden dragon faintly rose behind Lin Xueyi in everyone's eyes, while behind Mondley was a roaring tiger.

Only those at the Grandmaster level can condense their Qi into a physical form, and Mondley can do it too. This shows that he truly deserves to be called the number one person below the Grandmaster level. However, upon closer inspection...

Lin Xueyi's dragon was so realistic that every single scale was clearly visible, while the tiger behind Mondley was somewhat blurry, which still revealed the difference in strength between the two.

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are incredibly powerful and fierce, so Senior Meng, please be careful."

"Tiger Roar Thunder Fist, its punches are domineering and unparalleled, little girl, you'd better be careful."

After they finished speaking, their eyes met, and they burst into laughter. Their powerful internal energy was so strong that even when everyone covered their ears, they felt their blood and qi become disordered. Despite their efforts to suppress it, they were still unable to control the disordered internal energy within their bodies.

At this moment, many disciples of the Huating Sword Sect also rushed over. Seeing this scene, they were stunned, but they did not say anything. They just stood quietly to the side, sticking to their original intentions and not being disturbed by the laughter.

As Lin Xueyi and Meng Deli laughed, their momentum continued to rise. When it reached its peak, the two attacked almost simultaneously. One rode a dragon, while the other emerged like a tiger. Their fists and palms clashed, and with a thunderous roar, the aftershocks of their true energy explosions rose around them.

Many heroes of the martial world were fierce, and even the aftershocks of the battle were enough to make them fight with all their might, which shows how intense the confrontation between the two was.

Lin Xueyi landed steadily on the ground, while Mondley took several steps back to dissipate the impact of the fight.

"Not bad, little girl, this time I'm going to go all out, so be careful."

Ugh... This wasn't even their full strength. An attack that nearly broke through their defenses despite their full effort was still not their full strength? Ridiculous, isn't it?

The group of martial arts masters stared blankly at Mondley, then heard another young girl say, "Well, I'm going to go all out too. Let's end this test here."

No, no, shouldn't the two of them fight for dozens of rounds and then be evenly matched? Isn't that the rhythm that should be in the martial arts world? How come it feels like the battle is about to be decided after only the second move? Are they afraid that they will steal their skills?

Actually, these people are somewhat wronging Lin Xueyi and Meng Deli. It's not that they didn't want to fight for more than ten rounds, but rather that both of them used powerful and simple martial arts. Whether it was Lin Xueyi's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms or Meng Deli's Roaring Thunder Fist, they were both martial arts that were skillful yet unpretentious. Regardless of the opponent's technique, they would simply strike with one palm. There was no room for jokes; it was either death or self-defense. If they were injured, there were no other options.

Therefore, when the two fought, they naturally ended the battle with the simplest attacks, a clash of raw power with no skill involved.

"Tiger Roar Thunder Fist, with the force of a thunderbolt."

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Dragon Regrets Its Ascent."

A golden dragon circled above Lin Xueyi's head, followed by a deafening roar that echoed through the heavens. The dragon shot out, while Mondley, a fierce blue tiger surrounded by dazzling lightning, roared and pounced towards the direction from which the dragon had come.

Seeing this, the onlookers dared not be careless. They poured all their true energy into their hands and made a defensive gesture. However, with a loud bang, they were all blasted dozens of meters away.

When the smoke cleared, all that was visible was devastation. The large crater in the center was bad enough, but the guest rooms closest to the site were almost entirely razed to the ground. As for the two people in the middle, Mondley was pale, seemingly seriously injured, but he still bowed and thanked Lin Xueyi.

"Thank you for your mercy, Master Lin."

"Um, you're too kind, Master Meng. It's nothing like a deep-seated grudge, just a friendly spar. Um, this..."

She spoke well at first, but towards the end, Lin Xueyi pointed somewhat guiltily to the devastated area around her; she really couldn't afford to pay for it.
