A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Meanwhile, on the arena atop Mount Huating, a fierce battle was about to erupt. Liu Xuan, a wandering cultivator from Zhongzhou, and Zhao Yuxuan from Qingzhou stood face to face on the arena.

But... "I said, you weren't drinking last night, were you? You still smell so strongly of alcohol today."

He waved his hand dismissively, finding the strong smell of alcohol quite unpleasant. Meanwhile, those who had been forced to drink the night before were now awkwardly lowering their heads, enduring the disdainful gazes of the others.

"I drank too much last night, and I didn't expect the final to be today. I'm sorry."

Knowing his behavior was wrong, Zhao Yuxuan lowered his head and apologized under the other party's disapproving gaze. He had no choice; although his actions were unintentional, they were still somewhat disrespectful to his opponent, so an apology was not out of the question.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Liu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "This early match can't be entirely your fault, but even so, I won't hold back. You'd better watch out."

Having witnessed Liu Xuan's previous battles, Zhao Yuxuan knew that this opponent was not the kind he could fight head-on with. Liu Xuan's swaying gait was as delicate as a willow in the wind. If he couldn't handle him, he would probably suffer the same fate as Yu Xiuying.

Therefore, Zhao Yuxuan did not adopt the stance of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms at the beginning, but instead performed his family's traditional boxing style.

"This is... Has Zhao Yuxuan gone mad? Instead of using what he's best at, he's using his family's traditional boxing style. Doesn't he know that his talent in this area is utterly pathetic?"

Seeing this, everyone took a deep breath. How could they not be furious that Zhao Yuxuan had made such a choice?

Aside from whispering among themselves, they really didn't dare to make a loud noise. This was the most important moment, and anyone who disturbed the match would probably be beaten to death by the others.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan's choice also surprised Liu Xuan. He originally planned to defend against Zhao Yuxuan's Dragon Subduing Palm as before, but he did not expect that the other party would use his family's boxing technique instead of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

However, Liu Xuan had to admit that Zhao Yuxuan's mastery of this set of boxing techniques was really too poor. In just a few moves, Liu Xuan had already seized the opponent's weakness and knocked Zhao Yuxuan, who had jumped high into the air, back down with a single punch.

Unexpectedly, a triumphant smile appeared on the opponent's face. He had just been knocked back not far when he flipped over and channeled his power into both palms. With extremely fast movements, his voice rang out, "Flying Dragon in the Sky."

This attack, striking downwards from the sky, can be considered a wide-range attack. Zhao Yuxuan had witnessed Liu Xuan and Yu Xiuying's fight; Liu Xuan's "Willow in the Wind" footwork likely followed the wind generated by the fist's force. If it were a large-scale attack, and there wasn't enough time, he would probably be struck by this palm.

However, the final palm strike did not hit Liu Xuan. Instead, dozens of black lightning bolts rushed towards the two of them from behind. Zhao Yuxuan's attack actually knocked all the lightning bolts away.

Main Text: Chapter 101 Attack

The explosion of dozens of thunderbolts was like flipping a switch or sending a signal, and suddenly screams of agony erupted from the audience below the arena.

Dozens of people suddenly attacked those around them. Within seconds, hundreds of people had been killed or wounded. But the greater crisis was not the suspicion and panic in everyone's hearts.

After all, they were all seasoned veterans of the martial arts world. Such things might cause some chaos at first, but they would naturally calm down after a while.

But the biggest problem isn't the panic in their hearts, but the doubts in their minds. The previous sneak attacks had caused many people to die tragically under the enemy's swords, but who knows if there are other people around them who they have hidden.

They dared not trust anyone around them, but the attackers gave them no time to distinguish friend from foe, and pressed forward again in an instant.

Although these attackers were few in number, their objective was simple: they charged directly into the crowd of righteous people, fighting and killing each other. Even after being stabbed, they would still retaliate and kill their opponents, showing no regard for their own lives.

Such beings usually have a unified name, which is called "death warriors." Someone shouted, "These people are evil people, and they don't attack evil people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the righteous people who had suffered heavy casualties instantly "understood" that this was a trap set by those evil people, who wanted to take advantage of the Young Heroes Gathering to severely damage the forces of the righteous martial arts world.

In this situation, many people have become irrational. They will expand any clue they can find to an extreme degree, and even deliberately ignore other unreasonable aspects, using all sorts of imagination to fill in these gaps.

However, the evil forces did not make any move at this time, but chose to calmly defend themselves from the sidelines. They did not know how many hidden enemies were in the righteous path. They were also worried that if they went to help, the righteous path would misunderstand and directly engage in a great battle with them.

As for the real experts on the stage, this was their chance to make their presence felt. Seeing that things were getting out of control below, several experts at the Innate Realm couldn't hold back any longer and began to make their move. In just a few rounds, they suppressed the assassins.

Meanwhile, the righteous disciples who had initially surrounded these people were now furious. However, just when they thought it was all over, three dark figures flashed through the crowd. The few Xiantian cultivators who had been leading the group had barely reacted when they were too late to act and had their throats slit.

However, they did not stop. Holding daggers, they charged directly at Zhao Yuxuan, who had been watching from the sidelines the whole time.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, but his master had sent him a telepathic message at the very beginning, forbidding him from leaving the arena and instructing him to stay on the stage. Although he didn't know why, he was certain his master wouldn't harm him.

So Zhao Yuxuan stayed on the stage the whole time. No matter how anxious he was, he had no intention of leaving the stage. He even kept Liu Xuan on the stage with him.

This action took the assassins, who had been hiding in the crowd and hoping to make their move against Zhao Yuxuan after he left the scene, completely by surprise.

So, just when it seemed the game was about to end, they couldn't hold back any longer and made their move. Before anyone could react, they attacked and rushed towards Zhao Yuxuan.

I believe in the abilities of the three of them; they can definitely kill him in one blow. Although they may not be able to escape unscathed, they will still be able to repay that person's kindness.

With each thrust, dozens of various hidden weapons flew out of her hand, her eyes fixed on her target. Just as she thought her mission was about to be completed, a petite figure caught her eye.

With her delicate skin, adorable big eyes, and long, smooth hair, she has a flat, undeveloped figure, yet she exudes a very endearing charm.

However, this person's name is enough to make the entire martial arts world tremble. Lin Xueyi, the youngest grandmaster in the martial arts world, her appearance is definitely not to watch him kill his disciple.

“Disciple, step back. This person is not someone you can handle.”

Zhao Yuxuan was slightly taken aback, looking at his master, completely bewildered as to why she had suddenly appeared here. He had always thought that his master would watch the show until the very end.

"Master, I haven't..."

"What else do you want to do? Kill your sister to prove your Dao? Let me tell you, if you dare to do that, I dare to wipe out the entire sect, you understand? You better stay out of here quietly, and don't come out unless I call you."

His master's explanation only confused him more. What did "killing one's sister to prove one's Dao" mean? He had never even considered the concept of proving one's Dao. And what did "killing one's sister" mean?

After Zhao Yuxuan left, lost in thought, only the pretty woman remained of the three assassins. She was confused; Lin Xueyi had clearly held back. She shouldn't have any connection with her, right?

"Hey, I want to ask you, why did you kill my disciple? Don't even mention that he started a relationship and then abandoned me. Even if I gave him the guts, he wouldn't have done it. Someone as honest and kind as him wouldn't do something that requires intelligence like starting a relationship and then abandoning someone."

Zhao Yuxuan, who was listening from the side, took a deep breath. He really wanted to say, "Master, that's not a compliment." However, he admitted that he didn't really have that much courage.

The woman remained silent, but Lin Xueyi sighed softly. Looking at the deathly resolve in her eyes, Lin Xueyi knew that such a person had almost no other option but to die. However, she really couldn't bring herself to kill a girl.

"Hey, Senior Meng, do you think you could take this woman to Yuanzhou and make sure she never sets foot in Qingzhou again?"

She had initially thought Lin Xueyi was going to kill her, but to her surprise, Lin Xueyi turned around and discussed her whereabouts with Mondley. This perplexing action not only left her bewildered, but even Mondley was dumbfounded.

What kind of move is this? Shouldn't she just take action and kill them directly at a time like this? When she killed the other two just now, she was decisive and ruthless. Why has she changed her mind now?

"I just can't bring myself to do it. Such a beautiful young lady, I just can't bring myself to kill her." Lin Xueyi looked innocently at the bewildered crowd. This was truly the first time they had heard such a reason—that she was too pretty to kill.

Mondley nodded helplessly. "You're strong, so you call the shots. Take her down, and I'll bring her to Yuanzhou."

Main Text: Chapter 102 Champion Zhao Yuxuan

In just a few words, Lin Xueyi and Meng Deli had already decided the woman's future. What was most strange was that no one else raised any objections.

It seemed as if their words and actions would be accepted. In fact, the crowd did have their opinions. They all hoped to capture the woman, so that they could at least find out from her whether the mastermind behind this was the evil force from Qingzhou.

However, when Lin Xueyi handed the woman over to Mondley, they knew that it was impossible for them to know the truth. First of all, since she was handed over alive, they naturally did not want her to die here.

Moreover, Mondley is not from Qingzhou, and he has no reason to offend a Grandmaster for such a matter, so it is impossible to get Mondley's help in the interrogation.

"Why didn't you kill me?" It was very strange. Lianxing was very puzzled. She was going to kill this little girl's disciple, but she just let her go like that. In particular, she didn't even ask who the mastermind was. What exactly was this little girl up to?

"Let me tell you, even if you let me go, I will not easily tell you who the mastermind is."

Lin Xueyi looked at the woman who seemed to be secretly glancing in the direction of the evil path with amusement, and shook her head. "You don't need to tell me, because no one knows your mastermind. They would never do anything like the evil path, especially since you suddenly attacked Yuxuan. That couldn't possibly be their idea."

Frowning in confusion, Lianxing couldn't understand what the girl was saying at all. Why did she say that her attack on Zhao Yuxuan proved that the evil people couldn't be the mastermind behind it all?

"What, is it strange? They all know that Zhao Yuxuan is my disciple. If they attack him, they will be pushing me towards the enemy. Do you think they would be so stupid as to think that it is a wise thing for me, a neutral person, to push the opponent to the side?"

Lin Xueyi glanced at the bewildered woman with a cold smile. She thought she was being clever, but although she didn't know what their plan was, it was really stupid of them to attack Zhao Yuxuan.

Lianxing, head bowed and silent, was at a loss for words. She hadn't expected that her last act of taking matters into her own hands would create such a huge loophole in the entire mission, yet this loophole was still seen through by the grandmaster.

"No matter what, you should go to Yuanzhou from now on. I don't think the people behind you will go there and risk offending Master Meng to cause trouble for a newbie like you. Just live your own life."

For some reason, Lin Xueyi sighed softly. She was still too soft-hearted for certain things. Now that this had happened, she would probably face a lot of trouble.

"Ah... really, you're just creating things for yourself."

Seeing Lin Xueyi's self-deprecating self-mockery, Mondley burst out laughing, "Little girl, the martial world is the martial world. If you can't do whatever you want, then being a grandmaster is really meaningless."

This could be considered a consolation, Lin Xueyi chuckled, and turned to look at the referee beside her. Since she was going to do whatever she wanted, she might as well do whatever she wanted one more time.

"Does this championship need to be won again?"

His words carried an imposing aura that brought tears to the referee's eyes. He had just finished a surprise attack and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath before being threatened by this grandmaster. Threatened indeed!

"There's no need for another match. We've all seen the previous battle clearly. Zhao Yuxuan has already gained an absolute advantage. I doubt even Liu Xuan could withstand that palm strike. Zhao Yuxuan should be the champion."

If they don't hurry up and take it back now, those old foxes in Qingzhou will really be stupid. They originally thought the championship was going to be lost to their own people in Qingzhou, but it has been taken back.

The champion! The first place! Zhao Yuxuan never expected that he would become the first place winner of the Youth Heroes Tournament held in Qingzhou. When he secretly ran away from home, he only hoped to come here to take a look, but after meeting his master, he actually became the first place winner.

With a slight, cold smile playing on her lips, Lin Xueyi turned and returned to her seat. As for the female assassin—oh, we can call her Lianxing now—she was standing obediently behind Mondley.

She knew she couldn't complete the mission, but when she learned that she could leave without interrogation or even questioning, she didn't choose to fight to the death.

Out of gratitude, after witnessing the slaughter of all her former comrades, she felt they had repaid enough; too much blood had been shed in this place. Now, what she needed was to live for those who had perished.

Seeing the cheering crowd around him, Liu Xuan thought that they would probably be even happier if it weren't for the previous sneak attack. As for first and second place, it wasn't a problem for him.

His purpose in coming here was not to win a place in this Heroes' Gathering; he came mainly to find his childhood sweetheart who had been missing for many years.

Years ago, she came to Qingzhou with her family. Over the years, they had exchanged letters, but in the last letter, she told herself that something seemed to have happened at home, and they seemed very anxious. However, her family did not tell her what had happened.

As a result, after the last letter, he didn't receive any more letters for almost a year. However, when he went to his friend in the Six Doors for help...

However, it was discovered that the letter was written three years ago, meaning that for the past three years, the letter had been in the possession of an unknown person until now, when it was finally sent to him.

Who exactly is this person, and what exactly happened to her? These questions filled Liu Xuan with confusion. Liu Xuan's purpose in participating in this Young Heroes Gathering was simple: to build good relationships with the local heroes of Qingzhou so that he could use their connections to find his childhood sweetheart.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan, the champion, approached his master with trepidation. Although he had won the championship, he knew that at least a large part of the credit for his victory belonged to his master.

Therefore, he didn't become arrogant; instead, he became even more cautious. Just as Elder Zhang had said, cultivating inner energy is like rowing against the current—if you don't advance, you fall behind. Moreover, with this youngest grandmaster as his master, he seemed insignificant.

"The competition is over, and we should leave now. Let's go back and visit Old Zhang, and bring him some local specialties back with us. Don't let him leave empty-handed, okay?"

"Don't worry, master, I can handle things without any problems."

Main Text: Chapter 103 Departure from Rochelle

Zhao Yuxuan clutched his aching forehead, staggering and stumbling along the corridor of the Huating Sword Sect. The meticulously trimmed clumps of grass on either side offered him no relief.

Thinking about last night made his head ache even more. Putting everything else aside, the enthusiasm of his fellow female disciples alone was enough to overwhelm him.

He was originally someone no one liked, but now he feels like he's suddenly gained power. With everyone fawning over him, it's hard to believe he isn't a little arrogant. But when he saw his master's tiny figure...

It would be difficult for him to feel superior again. After all, how could he feel superior in front of someone who had become a Grandmaster at such a young age? It can only be said that in front of his master, talent and honor are nothing. This is the one who truly overturns everyone's common sense.

Then he was plied with alcohol and got drunk. If it weren't for Old Zhang seeing the situation was getting out of hand and pulling him out of the crowd, he probably would have lost all his integrity and woken up in some fellow disciple's bed.

Well, this wasn't what he saw, but what Ye Qin'er told him. However, according to him, his master seemed quite amused by it, mentioning things like "white literature," "harem," "woodcutter's knife," and "battlefield." The others didn't quite understand, so he couldn't fully grasp his master's meaning. In the simplest terms, he just wanted to watch the drama unfold.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw my petite and adorable master stretching lazily, carrying a bundle and a sword on her back. Hmm? A sword?

The weather was sunny and the scenery was beautiful, so Lin Xueyi slept in again until the sun was high in the sky before she lazily got out of bed.

Because they were preparing to leave Huating Mountain today, the others got up early to start preparing for their departure, and various supplies were already being loaded onto the vehicles.
