A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Ah Ling's defeat utterly plunged the martial arts community of Qingzhou into despair. This time, they had truly suffered a crushing defeat. The young heroes' tournament they had organized had resulted in the top three being from other states.

This has become a huge joke. They could tell with their eyes closed how the other states would ridicule Qingzhou after hearing this news.

As for the subsequent fight between Zhao Yuxuan and He Beichang, they basically ignored it completely.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Saying the Harshest Words

Although they were disappointed with the Young Heroes Gathering, they weren't so bad as to leave early because they couldn't stand losing. The people of Qingzhou couldn't bear the shame of that.

The opinions of the crowd had no effect on the contestants on stage. Zhao Yuxuan had long wanted to give He Beichang a good beating. Putting aside everything else, as He Beichang advanced all the way, the things he said became more and more offensive.

From initially wanting to pursue his master, he ended up thinking that his master would be eager to be with him. Does this kind of person not even think before he speaks?

What kind of person is Master? He is the youngest Grandmaster in the martial arts world. What is this guy? He's just a pathetic wretch struggling in the afterlife. How dare he shamelessly say that his Master will have to pay him off in the future? Does he know what it means to be shameless? Does he know what it means to daydream?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, He Beichang slowly walked onto the arena. However, his gaze was not on Zhao Yuxuan at this moment, because he had previously spent a lot of money to ask Sun Liang, who was also from Luoxie City, about Zhao Yuxuan's true strength.

It should be noted that when Zhao Yuxuan left Luo Xie City a few months ago, he had only just broken through to the Acquired Realm. In the past few months, he has at most consolidated his cultivation. It is impossible for him to make another major breakthrough.

Therefore, Zhao Yuxuan's current success is solely due to the unique nature of Lin Xueyi's cultivation technique, which has allowed him to overcome numerous obstacles and reach this point. However, this is the extent to which he can go. Having already seen through him, he has no reason to worry about losing.

However, his current target is the girl sitting in the guest seat; that is his biggest goal. "Master Lin, I am Blood Rose of Qingzhou, daughter of Linglong. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to Blood Rose Garden to admire the roses together after this competition."

Lin Xueyi, who was still leaning on Ye Qin'er, never expected that before the fight even started, someone would already be targeting her. And admiring roses together? Was this guy out of his mind?

However, having enjoyed nine years of compulsory education, gone through three years of mock exams and five years of college entrance exam preparation, and finally experienced four years of half-study and half-play, she still wouldn't utter such foul language to someone like that.

"You think you're worthy?"

The three words, none of them containing any vulgar language, were enough to fully express her attitude. Hmm, Lin Xueyi felt that she was indeed a good person.

Lin Xueyi's retort made He Beichang feel a bit embarrassed. In his eyes, girls like this liked strong men, and as long as he showed enough strength, she would definitely notice him.

As for how to demonstrate your strength, the quickest and simplest way is to beat up her apprentice, and then she will know your power.

But he really forgot that although little girls like strong people, when she herself is a strong person, no matter how strong you are, you still need to take her as the benchmark. Even her apprentice is not qualified.

However, He Beichang's followers failed to remind him of his mistakes in time, or rather, they dared not remind him at all. As a result, he went further and further astray.

"Zhao Yuxuan, you're out of luck today. In order for me to win the heart of my beauty, I have no choice but to give you a good beating."

被叫名字的赵宇轩一脸懵逼，什么叫为了他抱得美人归，就要揍自己，这有什么必然的联系吗？他可不记得自己在哪个方面成为了他的情敌。

Although he also looked down on He Beichang, he couldn't take the blame for this. If Yu'er found out, he would be in deep trouble.

“这个，能不能先解释一下，为什么你要抱得美人归，就要揍我？好像我和你算不上情敌吧。”

"Hmph, why bother with all that? Let me tell you, your master is mine now, and she always will be. No woman I set my sights on can escape my grasp."

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan's attitude was no longer important, because the person in question had already sat up straight in anger, staring fiercely at the arrogant man on the stage.

Not to mention Lin Xueyi, everyone else was in an uproar. They had seen arrogant people before, but never anyone this arrogant. They had seen brainless people before, but never anyone this brainless. This was a Grandmaster-level expert. If someone said such a thing to him and he didn't do anything, that would be strange.

However, He Beichang also expressed what many people were thinking: who wouldn't want to take this young girl under their command, and the most direct way would be to marry her off to them?

However, everyone only thought about it and no one dared to say it directly. But this guy was really fearless and just said it. Did he really think that grandmasters were all people without temper?

“Disciple, if you don’t break He Beichang’s two legs today, no, all three legs, you can leave the sect now, or I’ll expel you from the sect.”

Lin Xueyi clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, but she still didn't take action. Instead, she let her apprentice do it for her. If she didn't teach this scoundrel a lesson, countless more of him would pop up and cause her trouble in the future.

After listening to his master's words, Zhao Yuxuan punched his right fist into his left palm and laughed cruelly, "I'll explain to you now what cruelty means."

Seeing Zhao Yuxuan's "overestimating his abilities" actions, He Beichang laughed. This fool actually dared to fight him. It seems he really doesn't know how low his cultivation level is.

"A person should know their own limitations. You are a human being, so you should know your own limitations. You still dare to lay a hand on me. Now explain to me what cruelty is. I'll watch for a while, and you will personally experience the meaning of cruelty."

He Beichang sneered, firmly holding the two daggers that had fallen from his sleeve in his hand. A fleeting ferocity flashed across his face, and the next second, he charged towards Zhao Yuxuan like a rocket.

Zhao Yuxuan, however, remained calm and composed, channeling his energy into his palms. His wide-open eyes flashed with a sharp light as his aura intensified. Then, he unleashed a palm strike.

A barely discernible golden dragon roared as it charged toward He Beichang, who was wielding twin daggers and charging towards him. He Beichang, however, was prepared for this turn of events.

Others may fear this dragon, but he is not. He had already made preparations beforehand, concentrating all his true energy on the sharp points of his twin daggers. With just a slight puncture, he could definitely pierce through this dragon.

Then, brimming with confidence, he went up there, and then... The arena, where the golden dragon had flown, seemed to have been plowed over. He Beichang, now completely devoid of his previous composure, lay charred and lifeless where the dragon had vanished. His right hand lay limply on the ground. As for his legs... well, someone had already mentioned them.

So Zhao Yuxuan didn't hesitate for a moment. After checking the other person's condition, he glanced at them a couple more times and then severed the leg. As for the third leg, he really didn't understand. He could only ask his master later.

Main Text: Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Approaching Crisis

The Young Heroes Tournament is in full swing. From the initial preliminary rounds to the quarterfinals, quite some time has passed, and the top four have already been determined.

The group includes Liu Xuan, a recluse from Zhongzhou; Yu Xiulin and Yu Xiuying, two disciples of the Northern Tiger; and Zhao Yuxuan from Luoxie City in Qingzhou, a disciple of a newly promoted grandmaster.

Among them, the most surprising, or even unbelievable, is the last one, Zhao Yuxuan from Luoxie City. He was a complete novice who had just entered the Acquired Realm, but he became one of the top four in the Qingzhou Youth Heroes Tournament.

This has shocked everyone who knows Zhao Yuxuan, and even many people who wanted to see Zhao Yuxuan make a fool of himself felt their faces swell and hurt.

Of course, this news also spread to other places over time, such as the Sun and Zhao families in Luoxie City.

At this moment, the Zhao family was in a state of extreme excitement. For a long time, the Zhao family had never produced any experts. At most, they could only reach the sixth level of the Acquired Realm, which was considered good. They didn't have any outstanding figures. If they hadn't always hired some trustworthy experts, their family would probably have been taken away along with their wealth long ago.

Now, now, thanks to our ancestors, we finally have a disciple who can reach the peak of the acquired realm. To be honest, Zhao Yuxuan's aptitude is not the best; he is not even as good as some of the members of the branch family.

But just because he had a good master, he actually achieved such cultivation. This... this... if it weren't for ancestral blessings, what other explanation could there be?

"Master, has Xuan'er really reached the peak of the Day After Tomorrow realm?"

At this moment, after learning about her son's news, Zhao Yuxuan's mother's first reaction was that it might just be a case of the same name. However, after the servants confirmed it repeatedly, she finally couldn't contain her excitement and hurried to her husband's study. Excited, she went straight to the point, perhaps with a little bit of pride, or perhaps with a little bit of confusion, and asked directly.

Seeing his wife so excited, Zhao Shouting, the head of the Zhao family in Luoxie City, naturally suppressed his excitement and tried his best to appear calm and composed.

"That's right, Xuan'er is now one of the top four in the Qingzhou Youth Heroes Tournament." As for whether he would become number one, he never thought that his son could continue. Being able to enter the top four was already the best result in their eyes.

As for the issue of Qingzhou's reputation, Master Zhao was very open-minded. His son had already held on to his last chance. Everyone else was clearly very strong, but they all lost. He couldn't blame his son, who had the best grades, for not working hard enough.

"Madam, you have given birth to a fine son for the Zhao family. Don't worry, once Xuan'er returns, I will increase my efforts and provide him with as many resources as possible so that he can break through to the Innate Realm as soon as possible."

Master Zhao's plan was excellent. As long as someone in his family broke through to the Innate Realm, the Zhao family could recruit more martial arts practitioners to work for them.

And unlike now, we don't have to constantly worry about being attacked by martial arts practitioners and losing our whole family's lives. Our family business has also benefited others.

Madam Zhao wasn't entirely clear about her husband's thoughts, but she understood that once the family's resources began to be allocated to her son, Xuan'er would receive more attention and wealth.

For spiritual cultivation, wealth is the most basic and crucial element. With wealth, one has the opportunity to advance further. Madam Zhao obtained the result she desired and left happily.

However, while Master Zhao was happy, the rest of the Zhao family were not so happy; at least some of the members who had branched out were quite unhappy.

"What kind of incredible luck did Zhao Yuxuan have to get a grandmaster to take him as a disciple? With his stupid and dull talent, how could he possibly reach the peak of the Acquired Realm in just a few months? That's absolutely impossible."

Zhao Yumo, who was once hailed as the most likely young genius in the Zhao family to break through to the sixth level of the Acquired Realm, could not believe the news that had come his way. However, all of this seemed to have far exceeded his imagination.

"Yu Mo, don't worry, it's all still uncertain. Besides, there are people who die at the peak of the Acquired Realm. What do you have to worry about?"

An elderly man with white hair, sitting upright next to Zhao Yumo, showed no emotion whatsoever, as if he didn't care about the news at all.

"Master, now that Zhao Yuxuan has reached the peak of the Day After Tomorrow realm, the entire Zhao family will likely demand that resources be tilted towards him as much as possible. In that case, we will receive fewer and fewer resources. What about you..."

Upon hearing this news, the old man's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master will naturally have a way."

The old man pondered for a moment. This time, he would probably have to rely on that important figure. He just didn't know if the Young Heroes Association was truly prepared. He hoped for a successful outcome in one go. If he could simply eliminate Zhao Yuxuan along the way, the Zhao family would still be safe.

"Master, the opponent has a Grandmaster-level expert by their side. I'm worried..."

"Don't worry, there's no need to be concerned. Some people rise too quickly and attract jealousy, but naturally someone will help us solve this problem. For example, the Sun family."

After pointing at his young apprentice, the old man turned his attention to the other side, namely the Sun family, who had always been at odds with the Zhao family. However, Zhao Yuxuan had fallen in love with the youngest daughter of the Sun family, Sun Yu'er.

The Sun family had said that unless Zhao Yuxuan could reach the Innate Realm, they would never allow their daughter to marry him. Originally, this was an impossible task, but now there is hope, and it is even within reach.

Therefore, the Sun family is probably the most anxious, and if the Zhao family becomes powerful, it will also have a certain impact on the Sun family. Under such circumstances, it is possible that they would want to take action to eliminate Zhao Yuxuan.

The old man smiled coldly. As long as Zhao Yuxuan died, Zhao Yumo would naturally tell Zhao Shouting, the head of the family, about the ideas he had given him.

If a major war breaks out between the two families, they will have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. The Zhao family's wealth will become their biggest source of funds to solve their financial problems.

Main Text: Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Beginning of the Semifinals

On Mount Huating, the Young Heroes Tournament, which had been resting for three days, resumed. There was no other way, as the top four contestants needed to have plenty of energy for a more intense competition.

Therefore, this semi-final is different from the previous ones. The break in the middle will be slightly longer, followed by three consecutive days of semi-finals and finals until the top three are determined.

During those three days, while others were unaware, Lin Xueyi only knew that Zhao Yuxuan, to express his gratitude for her guidance, had bought her a large amount of food and invited her and Old Zhang to visit his home.

However, since Old Zhang was away for too long this time and was worried about his little granddaughter at home, he politely declined. But Zhao Yuxuan was not stingy and placed two large silver ingots in Old Zhang's hand, which was quite generous considering the prices in Binzhou.

These two large silver ingots might have been enough to allow Old Zhang to stop pulling carts and earning money, and instead buy more than ten acres of land, hire a few farmhands, and become a small landlord.

This time, Elder Zhang didn't refuse, or rather, he couldn't refuse, because Zhao Yuxuan's gesture was a kind of apprenticeship ceremony. Although they weren't officially master and disciple, Elder Zhang had been guiding him all along. Elder Zhang naturally understood Zhao Yuxuan's gratitude. Seeing the young man he had mentored achieve such cultivation, Elder Zhang gladly accepted his gift.

As for Lin Xueyi, she was rather unhappy this time. Her purpose in coming here was to find Ruoxue, or at the very least, to make her name known and leave some clues for Ruoxue.

But so much time has passed and there's still no news from Ruoxue. How could she be happy? This time, Zhao Yuxuan invited her to visit Luoxie City and his home.

Lin Xueyi agreed without hesitation and also sent out the destination, hoping that Ruoxue might find out her whereabouts on the way.

When Ye Qin'er learned that Lin Xueyi's next destination was Luoxie City, she sent a message to Baifeng Pavilion. However, she also showed the message to Lin Xueyi, mainly asking about the scenery along the way and the best options for food and lodging.

In Lin Xueyi's view, this was just a travel guide. Naturally, Lin Xueyi did not hold back her praise for Ye Qin'er's quick thinking.

Right now, Lin Xueyi is sitting in her seat, carefully watching the competition below. Emmm, aside from her greasy little mouth and the pile of snacks on the table.

Ye Qin'er considerately wiped away the glistening juice that had dripped from Lin Xueyi's lips with her hand. Looking at the little girl with slightly flushed cheeks, she felt that choosing to come out with her was definitely the right decision.

On the arena, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, with Yu Xiuying and Liu Xuan, a free spirit, exchanging blows and fighting to a standstill.

One side was powerful and relentless, launching continuous attacks, while the other was as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind, constantly dodging and weaving in response to the opponent's punches.

"Not bad, you actually managed to dodge all my attacks." Yu Xiuying knew that this Liu Xuan was fundamentally different from the previous Nangong Ping, so she didn't mock her opponent as she had before.

However, she faced another problem: her energy expenditure was far greater than that of the man. If this continued, she would find herself unable to hold on and would eventually have to admit defeat. If she stopped attacking, the other party would seize the initiative, and she would be completely passive.

Most importantly, she had already wasted a lot of energy. If the roles were reversed at this point, she would likely fall into the opponent's attack rhythm and ultimately be defeated.

Caught in a dilemma, Yu Xiuying felt as if she had entered a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper until it finally overwhelmed her.

When she was upset, her moves naturally became chaotic. At this moment, Lin Xueyi took a big bite of the sweet and juicy pear and closed her eyes beautifully.

"Yu Xiuying lost, so the next match should be my apprentice. It seems the final will be a battle between Zhao Yuxuan and this freelancer Liu Xuan."

Speaking of names, Lin Xueyi suddenly said again, "Hey? I noticed that both of them have the character 'Xuan' in their names. Is this fate? Fate between two men?"
