"Master, I am willing to give it a try!"

The person who spoke was a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. It was February and the weather was still not very warm, but he was wearing somewhat cool clothes, revealing a lot of bronze muscles.

Liu Hanying smiled at this person, then raised her head slightly, signaling everyone in the martial arts field to make way, and finally added another sentence.

"That's it."

The two walked to both sides of the martial arts arena, bowed, and said "please" to each other.

The young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He could not hold his temper. He confronted Ji Zhao for two breaths at first. Seeing that Ji Zhao seemed to be full of flaws, he could not hold his temper anymore. He shouted loudly and attacked with his inner breath. When he was still a few steps away from Ji Zhao, he used his inner breath to slap him in the air!

Ji Zhao misstepped and dodged lightly. Without waiting for the man to react, his Red Moon Energy exploded at his feet. His right hand, like a knife, stabbed straight at the man's throat and finally stopped steadily in front of him.

"The victory has been decided."

Liu Hanying spoke at this time, interrupting the conversation between Ji Zhao and the young man.

Ji Zhao retracted his palm. Even though the opponent's internal energy was several times greater than his, Hong Yue's internal energy was superior in quality. Ji Zhao only needed to increase his strength slightly when the opponent revealed a flaw to end the battle.

"How could it be...?" The young man was dumbfounded, feeling that he had not even used half of his abilities. He had little practical experience and did not understand that the scene just now meant that Ji Zhao could take his life. He just thought that he was careless and shouted in shame and anger, "Pavilion Master, I want to fight again! I was...careless just now!"

Liu Hanying smiled and said nothing more. She just looked at Ji Zhao, meaning that he should make the decision.

Ji Zhao said, "Please."

The young man had just suffered a loss, so he was much more cautious this time and did not launch an attack rashly. However, Ji Zhao did not want to continue to fight with him. He jumped lightly and did not even bother to use his internal energy. He just relied on the huge physical attribute bonus of the lv7 single combat to force his way forward.

The young man was horrified and hurriedly raised his internal energy to try to stop Ji Zhao. However, before he could launch his palm into the air, Ji Zhao had already forced his way in front of him. He slapped the young man's arm with his backhand, and the internal energy that was about to burst out of his arm was knocked away. Then he turned his palm into an elbow, which broke the opponent's body balance while pressing down on his waist and abdomen. Finally, a punch containing the red moon's internal energy and a terrifying aura stopped steadily in front of his head.

From beginning to end, it took less than three breaths.

Liu Hanying smiled softly and said:

"The victory has been decided."

Volume 4: The Fu Sisters

It sounds strange, but if we only look at physical fitness and the amount of internal energy, without considering any characteristics and martial arts attainments, Ji Zhao's comprehensive physical assessment is probably between D and lower than D, while this young man is actually between upper D and around D, which means that the latter is stronger.

But when they actually started fighting, two battles, two encounters, it took less than five breaths combined, and he was defeated in seconds.

The reason is that Ji Zhao knows too well how to bully weaklings. Among all his public characteristics, Crush is the only one that has reached level 8. He is really good at beating up children.

But...the kid who had been beaten twice in a row was still a little unwilling to accept it.

“Why…again!” The young man was killed twice in a row in front of so many people. He felt embarrassed and anxious for a moment, and his face turned red. He stiffened his neck and shouted, “This…this time the distance is too close! I’m not ready, let’s fight from a distance!”

A warrior is like this. Whenever he has a lot of internal energy left before being defeated, he will feel that he was careless/unprepared/made a mistake. Anyway, he just won't accept the defeat. This is a very common situation, especially among young people, who are more likely to think so.

"Huh, this is really embarrassing."

In the crowd, the girl with a golden knife tattoo on her clothes snorted coldly: "Come down, you can't beat him at all... Let me fight him!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't even give the young man a chance to speak, and walked forward on his own.

As the only elder in the scene, Liu Hanying had no intention of maintaining order at this moment, and even took a half step back.

The young man originally wanted to be stubborn for a while, but the people below, who were not involved, saw it clearly, and immediately started to jeer and told him to get off quickly. The young man's face turned pale and blue. If Liu Hanying asked him to get off at this time, he might have dared to confront a senior like Liu Hanying who was famous all over the world. However, he could not stand the jeer of his peers, and could only retreat in shame.

Ji Zhao didn't say much. In fact, he felt a little regretful. If they had two more games, the young man would have probably given in his heart no matter how tough he was on the outside. Those who were watching from the side probably had some idea in their hearts. Now that he was interrupted midway, the effect would have been less effective.

"I am Fu Xieshi from the Golden Sword Sect!" The girl raised her head slightly and took a wooden sword from the weapon rack in the martial arts arena. "Do you have any weapons to use? Go and get them. Don't say that I bullied you!"

Fu Caige, Fu Xieshi... Even a fool could tell that these two were sisters.

"That's not necessary." Ji Zhao said calmly, "I'm Ji Zhao... Please."

"Hmph! Don't cry if you lose!"

This confident attitude naturally angered the young lady opposite. Fu Xieshi's internal energy surged, and the domineering light golden internal energy erupted and continued to surge around her. This is the most commonly used skill by martial artists to prevent being killed instantly at close range, and it has the same effect as the protective qi in fairy tales. However, this internal energy itself has no defensive ability. It can only kill the attacker and make the opponent afraid to act rashly.

————If you want to condense your inner breath to the point where it has defensive power, you must have an inner breath concentration level above level A and possess a vast amount of inner breath. Only then can you do this.

It is worth mentioning that this move requires a very high degree of solidity of the internal energy. For example, the white-haired man that Ji Zhao faced that day, whose cultivation was much higher than Fu Xieshi's, was unable to use this move because the internal energy of the stars was too scattered and would dissipate as soon as it was hit.

"How is it?" Seeing Ji Zhao not moving, Fu Xieshi was quite proud, "You don't know where to start! These little acrobatics that are not presentable are nothing in front of me. Stand still! I will teach you how powerful I am!"

Although this person looks like a person with small breasts and no brains, there is no big problem with his response. In the previous battle, it can be seen that Ji Zhao's close combat skills are quite good. Now he has made a reasonable response. When a martial artist fights, he should play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. There is no reason to confront the opponent head-on where he is strong.

Ji Zhao looked calm and took a step forward.

At that moment... an indescribable fear that almost completely engulfed a person attacked Fu Xieshi. She felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious beast from ancient times. The hot breath with the stench of corpses hit her face, making her lose all ability to think.

This is... Wuwei.

In the previous two battles, Ji Zhao didn't take it seriously at all because the boy was too weak, so he didn't trigger Wu Wei. But now, because Fu Xieshi performed well, Ji Zhao concentrated his mind, and because of this, he triggered Wu Wei.

How exaggerated is Ji Zhao’s martial arts?

Liu Wei, a giant bandit from Qingzhou who had killed countless people, trembled in his legs when he saw him. The white-haired man, who grew up in the Western Regions, ate raw meat and drank blood, and had a cruel personality, did not dare to confront Ji Zhao head-on after exchanging a few moves with him, even though he had a great advantage in physical ability and internal breath characteristics, and could only fight while running away.

The two above are almost all veterans who have experienced many battles, but they were still so miserable and ugly in front of Ji Zhao, let alone a spoiled teenage girl?

Therefore, at the moment when Wu Wei was triggered, the person's brain was almost instantly dominated by fear. If Ji Zhao had retracted his momentum for one second, the girl would have been so scared that she would sit on the ground and start shedding pearls.

Fortunately, Ji Zhao withdrew his momentum in time. After a period of exploration, he was able to roughly control those characteristics (bloody fighting physique).

Fu Xieshi felt that the inexplicable fear came and went quickly, and before she could come to her senses, the feeling disappeared.

【“What happened just now?”】

Before she could think about it, Ji Zhao's calm voice came over: "Being distracted during a battle is not a good thing."

Fu Xieshi was startled suddenly, and then she realized that Ji Zhao was only a few feet away from her. She hurriedly mobilized her internal energy to protect her body. If Ji Zhao had accelerated at this time, he could have used the amazing explosive power of the Red Moon's internal energy to directly take down this young man who dared to be distracted during the fight, but he didn't. He even slowed down a little, allowing the opponent to prepare fully. In the field, only Liu Hanying and another freshman with a sharp eye noticed this.

boom!

Finally, Fu Xieshi was ready. When Ji Zhao approached, the part of his protective energy roared towards Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao's eyes were dim and he took another misstep, but Fu Xieshi seemed to have anticipated this scene a long time ago and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Volume 4: The Tenth Chapter: You're Awesome

Fu Xieshi's remarks could easily make people think that she is an uneducated young lady... Let's not discuss whether it is true or not for now, there is one thing that needs to be made clear first.

That is, there is no correlation between a person's emotional intelligence and combat IQ.

Fu Xieshi's reaction now was very good. He deliberately set a trap for Ji Zhao to fall into. After Ji Zhao fell into the trap, his internal energy, which had been ready for a long time, burst out again, and rushed straight towards Ji Zhao in an instant!

Unfortunately, Fu Xieshi was still too young and inexperienced. If Ji Zhao could be tricked by such a little girl, then he would have no chance of living. It would be better for him to commit suicide cleanly and retain some dignity.

Ji Zhao was too lazy to even use his internal energy. He had already slowed down his speed in this sprint and only used 60% of his strength. In addition, Fu Xieshi's moves were too quick and purposeful, making it extremely easy for him to break through. At that moment, his body fluttered past like a butterfly among flowers and he easily avoided the impact of Fu Xieshi's internal energy.

"Varied......?!"

Fu Xieshi, who thought his design was ingenious, was cracked in an instant. He became panicked instantly. Coupled with the previous stereotype that 'Ji Zhao was invincible at close range', he immediately became flustered and wanted to step back to create some distance.

However, at this moment, Ji Zhao, who had seen through Fu Xieshi's psychological activities, released his martial power again. An inexplicable feeling of panic surged up in him. Coupled with his just-right pressure from his body position, the former tripped over his right foot with his left foot as he hurriedly retreated!

The man subconsciously wanted to adjust his position, but Ji Zhao's ghostly figure attacked, forcing Fu Xieshi, who couldn't even split his mind at this critical moment, to ignore the matter on his feet and choose to mobilize his internal energy to attack Ji Zhao... Needless to say, the result was that Ji Zhao couldn't avoid the attack when her body lost balance. She immediately turned 360 degrees gracefully, not only avoiding Fu Xieshi's attack, but also moving closer to her. Finally, he stretched out his index finger in front of the little girl who looked extremely panicked and was still trying to maintain her balance, and slowly pushed her forehead lightly in front of her...

This became the last straw that broke the camel's back. No one knew if it was because of the lack of strength of one finger, or the psychological effect of this push, but Fu Xieshi was unable to stand and was pushed down by Ji Zhao, sitting on the ground!

boom!

She sat down on the ground with a confused look on her face, as if she couldn't understand what was happening at first. However, the pain in her buttocks made her face the reality.

"You..." Fu Xieshi was extremely ashamed and angry. She was the eldest daughter at home and was used to being unreasonable. Now, she was pushed to the ground in such a playful manner. How could she bear it? However, the man was from a martial arts family after all, and she knew that her skills were inferior to his.

But then again, if she wanted this guy to give in, she might not be willing to do so. The little girl blushed immediately, and after a long time, she finally managed to squeeze out a few words from her throat: "I... wasn't ready just now! Let's do it again!"

This excuse feels familiar.

This is not surprising. If one is defeated by a martial artist with profound internal skills, then most people will submit regardless of whether they are tough or not. However, Ji Zhao never used too much internal energy from beginning to end. He only relied on his agile body movements to win. Most of the people who were defeated by him felt that they could not use even half of their skills, so naturally they were unwilling to submit.

It can be said that among all those who have been defeated by Ji Zhao so far, only Liu Wei has truly realized the truth of defeat. He has been a bandit for decades and has been between life and death countless times. His practical experience is unmatched by others. Only he truly realized how terrible Ji Zhao is. Although he thought he was running away for the Black Cavalry, only God knows whether he was afraid in the deepest part of his heart.

"I have no problem." Ji Zhao took two steps back. "You are just like him. You are both very unwilling to accept your defeat."

"Of course I don't accept it!" Fu Xieshi said anxiously, "I've already said that I was just careless!"

Ji Zhao said: "Didn't you learn from the previous person's lesson?"

Fu Xieshi was speechless for a moment. She had certainly learned her lesson, but after Ji Zhao said that, she didn't know where to put the blame. She immediately said forcefully, "Stop talking nonsense and come again!"

After saying this, his internal energy burst out, and he quickly stood up and distanced himself from Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao shook his head but said nothing more and walked forward calmly.

Fu Xieshi's internal energy exploded, but this time he did not release any long-range martial arts. Instead, he used it to strengthen the functions of various parts of his body, intending to fight Ji Zhao head-on. He gripped the wooden sword tightly, full of ambition, and was determined to pick up from where he fell.

[“His internal energy fluctuations are not very strong, which shows that his internal strength is mediocre. Moreover, I have a weapon, but he doesn’t. The advantage is mine!”]

After encouraging herself in her heart, Fu Xie Shi shouted and rushed forward with a wooden sword in her hand!

Ji Zhao greeted him with a calm expression.

When the two of them collided for the first time, Fu Xieshi retained only 30% of her strength, but Ji Zhao used all his strength to burst out his Red Moon Energy and penetrated directly into her. He grabbed her wrist with his backhand and squeezed it hard. Fu Xieshi swallowed the pain, and the wooden sword she was holding was grabbed by Ji Zhao's other hand and put on her neck.

"What...?!" Fu Xieshi was shocked, "How could it be... you?!"

"Do you want to do it again?" Ji Zhao said, "I don't care... but even if we keep fighting like this, the result won't change."

"Come again... again!" At this moment, Fu Xieshi was in a difficult situation and had to continue fighting with Ji Zhao.

In the second round, Fu Xieshi attacked with all his strength, but because he did not retain enough strength for transformation, Ji Zhao saw through his flaw and killed him instantly.

In the third round, Fu Xieshi took the middle value of the previous two attacks, as if she was trying to find a more suitable strength... She was a little stubborn. You have to know that reality is not a level-breaking game. There is no designer who carefully sets the values ​​to ensure that players can pass the level.

Needless to say, after about two or three breaths, Ji Zhao seized Fu Xieshi's weakness and knocked the wooden sword out of his hand, and took advantage of the situation to grab her shoulders and captured her.

Now, even Fu Xieshi, who was so stubborn and unreasonable, no longer said "one more time". The result was here, clear and obvious. Even a discerning person could see that the internal energy used by Ji Zhao was less than 20% of that used by Fu Xieshi. The huge gap between the two was created by relying on other things.

"Do you want to continue?" Ji Zhao grabbed Fu Xieshi's shoulders and asked.

“Never mind…” Fu Xieshi was once again humiliated and defeated in front of so many people, her voice even tinged with tears, “Never mind…Never mind, you are awesome! I admit defeat this time! Let me go!”

Volume 4: Chapter 11: Drunkenness

Ji Zhao let go, and Fu Xieshi no longer had the face to say anything. She walked off the stage in disgrace, not daring to even say anything harsh—the world-famous Luohe Pavilion Master Liu Hanying was standing beside her. If she said anything harsh in such an occasion, it would mean she was really tired of living.

The two of them won so quickly in multiple rounds that even if the players below had eyesight as good as Gu Qu, they should have noticed it by now.

"Wow... so amazing." A disciple exclaimed in a low voice, "He didn't even use his internal energy, and only relied on close combat..."

"It's so amazing that it makes people feel it's very gorgeous." Someone else said, "In the past few rounds, it was as if those two people were cooperating with him. They had agreed in advance on how to fight this way and that way, and then practiced several times in advance... Did you notice that when this brother Ji was dodging the attack, if he retreated half a step less, he would be hit, but if he retreated half a step more, he would lose the strength to launch a counterattack. However, we know that those two people can't act... That terrible judgment, execution, and courage, huh, it seems that life in the pavilion will be very interesting in the future."

As for Ji Zhao, after defeating Fu Xieshi, no one came to challenge him for a while. Liu Hanying saw that the time was ripe, and if he continued, it would be too much, so he took a half step forward and said with a smile: "When fellow disciples fight, they should stop when they reach the limit. Victory and defeat are common in the military. A temporary victory or defeat cannot prove anything. It is the accomplishment that a warrior should have to realize his own weaknesses and correct them... Today is your first time to enter the pavilion, so I will not preach too much. If you are interested, you can go to the cafeteria at dinner time. The senior brothers and sisters have prepared a welcome party for you... Minghui, you entered the pavilion a few months earlier than them, so you can be considered half a senior brother. In the rest of the afternoon, you can take them around Luohe Pavilion to familiarize themselves with the terrain and buildings."

Ji Zhao responded and said to the disciples, "My fellow disciples, please follow me."

A group of people followed him, and Ji Zhao led this group of people to stroll around Luohe Pavilion, just like Ji Bei led him at the beginning.

Among these, the most unavoidable and most frequently asked question is, of course, the one concerning Duke Wu'an Wei and Huo, followed by Ji Zhao's miraculous performance just now.

"Senior Brother Ji!"

"I am not your senior. I just joined the cabinet last December. I am from the same class as you."

"Brother Ji, you are so skilled in short-fighting. Under which master did you learn this?"

"I figured it out myself."

"Own......?"

This answer sounds like bragging. You have to know that short-fighting is the skill that is the most difficult to 'figure out on your own'. For internal martial arts, you can tell the strength just by releasing your internal energy. Whether it is suitable for actual combat or not is not important, at least you can see the power. However, short-fighting is a fighting skill that is specifically used 'against people'. How can you figure it out on your own if there is no one to practice with you?

However, when these words came out of Ji Zhao's mouth, they seemed inexplicably convincing. How to describe this feeling? "Because it is so outrageous, it seems to be true." "If it was made up, it would definitely be more reasonable."

"Oh? Speaking of this, I have heard something about it." A gentleman in a long robe who looked elegant smiled and said, "When I was rushing to Wuling City, I made a friend on the way. He was from Anchun County, Zhending Prefecture, Qingzhou. I heard from him that the whip-and-mace ghost Liu Wei led his troops to attack Anchun County and injured the head of Brother Ji who helped defend the city. Then, someone said that Brother Ji was the reincarnation of Wu'an Duke Wei Huo. This attracted the soul of Wu'an Duke to return to his place, and he suddenly became enlightened. So when the black cavalry thieves attacked the city for the second time, they killed Liu Wei... Those rumors in the martial arts world are a mixture of true and false. I dare not take them seriously, but now that I have met you in person, Brother Ji, can you tell us about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. They really didn't know that Liu Wei was killed by Ji Zhao. The uprising of Shengwu Duke Tang Cheng caused unrest in the entire southern region. Although he withdrew from the stage of history in an extremely embarrassing and ridiculous way a few months ago, he still left a strong mark in the history books. The six cavalrymen under his command naturally attracted people's attention.

Ji Zhao did not answer the other party, but asked curiously: "Is the name of that friend Han Shou?"

"That's right." The nobleman nodded with a smile, "Brother Ji and Brother Han are friends."

"Well... Anchun is a small place, but we often meet each other. So we have some friendship." Ji Zhao vaguely revealed the matter. "The saying about the reincarnation of Lord Wu'an is pure nonsense. That day, Liu Wei was seriously injured by four warriors including my eldest sister, Han Shou and others. That's why I took advantage of it."

The young man wanted to talk more, but he had already walked to the Sutra Library. Ji Zhao stopped him with a sentence "Master Mo doesn't like noise".

By the time they came out of the Sutra Library, it was already dusk. Ji Zhao saw that the time was ripe and thought that his senior brothers and sisters had probably prepared a welcome banquet, so he brought many freshmen to the cafeteria.

Before I got close, I could smell the aroma of wine from afar. There was a lot of noise inside. When I walked in, I found that these unreliable seniors had already started drinking. According to my later recollection, a senior who loved wine said, "I'm so tired of setting up the place, I'll take a sip first." "With my alcohol tolerance, I won't be in trouble if I take a few more sips." "Haha! Good wine!" "Drink some! Why the hell don't you drink!"

Then the scene became chaotic...Finally, before the new students arrived, the group started drinking.

————Most people who practice martial arts like to drink, because their internal energy impacts the meridians on a daily basis, which can easily affect their emotions and mostly make people more gloomy and withdrawn. Of course, there are also people like Ji Bei who become irritable. Therefore, getting drunk to relieve all worries is actually in line with objective laws in this world.
