A Journey Against the World
Chapter 145

Strict footsteps came out from a simple building, behind the girl in black red, there was a girl younger than the girl following her. The look on the girl's face looked a little worried, the article today she will see a friend who more precisely she thinks like a brother will pose a challenge to the inner disciples, especially the ranked inner disciples.

Still worried, the girl immediately asked, "Sister Shua, should not Brother Shua consider it first. I mean, your opponent doesn't match-up with-"

"Father, right?" Shua Xie interrupted quickly the girl's words, naturally he knew the true essence of the girl's words. Shua Xie smiled faintly, "You underestimated me too much, Xingxing," she said in a slightly weak tone, deliberately so that Xingxing would not continue to urge her.

Xingxing became misbehaved, this was not what he meant. Xingxing simply did not want Shua Xie to get hurt therefore he kept urging Shua Xie to reconsider the terms that the Great Elder had given him. However, instead of making Shua Xie understand, it makes Shua Xie a misunderstanding. Xingxing did not doubt Shua Xie's strength, but still in the end Shua Xie's cultivation base was not on par with the disciples he would challenge later on.

"Sister Shua, you misunderstood. I don't mean to belittle you, I'm just worried" Xingxing said quickly so that Shua Xie wouldn't misunderstand the meaning of her words.

Shua Xie snorted inwardly, but still maintained that sad expression of hers for Xingxing to be even more unbearable to her, "But in essence you're worried that I'm hurt from doubting my strength. It should be obvious." Shua Xie continued to walk as if he was disappointed with the girl, even though this was only an intrigue so that the girl did not continue to urge him but still the girl felt hurt.

In the end Xingxing no longer refuted Shua Xie's words, even if she used a thousand words of sad tropes it would still not melt Shua Xie's resolve. It seemed that Shua Xie was indeed truly confident of being able to win the terms of the Great Elder.

It didn't take long, Shua Xie arrived at the disciple fighting arena. Usually, the arena is used for final student tests, or student practice in martial arts techniques. Sometimes it was also used by disciples to challenge other disciples, but obviously the rules of the arena were very strict, not allowing killing fellow disciples even if they had personal grudges.

There was no need for much ado Shua Xie to jump himself into the middle of a circular arena made of concrete. In the middle of the arena is painted a picture of a dragon and a middle pheonix snatch something round-shaped. Shua Xie landed his foot smoothly in the middle of that arena.

All eyes were on him for a moment, it was only natural that Shua Xie had climbed into the arena without anyone's consent or notice. Curious whispers filled the air immediately.

"Who's the girl? I never seem to see?"

"He must be a new disciple, seeing the plaque on his waist was clear enough he was a freshly entered disciple. How dare he climb into the arena, who would want to challenge the girl?"

"Ckckl! How arrogant, just because her face was beautiful maybe she thought her opponent would be withered on her."

"Wait a minute, do you remember yesterday's news? Diqiu's inner disciple was defeated by an outer disciple, and more interestingly the outer disciple was a female."

"Ah, I remember! I had the chance to see Diqiu humiliated in public! If it wasn't wrong that girl was the one who humiliated Diqiu the inner disciple."

"Wah .. lest he ascend to the arena for wanting to challenge Diqiu again. From what I heard that girl humiliated Diqiu because Diqiu wanted her to be his woman."

"Hum, it looks like there will be an interesting spectacle!"

Not far from the arena, there was one multi-storey building. The building was famous for the residence buildings of the ranked inner disciples, so it could be said that 20 ranked inner disciples often gathered there. It was true, when some of the inner disciples saw Shua Xie climb into the arena without hesitation, they paid great attention to Shua Xie.

"Oh, isn't that the girl who hit Diqiu?" The young man smiled cynically, showing an interested grin as well as being ridiculed, how could Diqiu an inner disciple lose to an outer disciple who had just entered, even worse who did it a female, even worse, it really embarrassed the inner disciples, "How about Senlin, are you going to let go?" The young man glanced at the young man beside him who was putting on a furious expression, the starkness of his face's tightening jaw.

Senlin clenched her hands and then hit the wood that refuted her hands, "Women or men she has humiliated the inner disciple, however should still accept the lesson," he firmly did not turn his gaze away from the figure of the girl in the middle of the arena.

"Oh, so what are you going to do, Senlin? Get down and declare a challenge to the girl, I think you're just as likely to embarrass yourself. Fighting women is not the way students solve problems." The brown-eyed youth cast a pretty sharp gaze, warning Senlin not to be rash in making a decision.

Senlin understood that, and of course she would not go down directly against the girl unless her urgent situation had to go down, "No need to remind me, I also know in acting," Senlin replied a little sniffly.

The young man beside Senlin chuckled, unable to resist looking at the expression Senlin gave off, unable to resist, obviously the man wanted to avenge the girl's deeds but due to her high status did not allow her to have to go down directly to eradicate the existing pests. While there are still subordinates, why does the leader intervene? Isn't that the term.

***

"Who's the girl? How dare he climb into the arena without discussing it first with the arena's managing elder?" A soft voice swept through the air, making some people nearby move.

"He was a recently famous outer disciple after defeating Diqiu with a single kick, if not mistakenly recalling his name was Shua Xie. There wasn't much identity about the girl, but reportedly she was just an outer disciple from an ordinary family," explained a quite burly young man with a serious tone.

The girl pursed her lips, a little interested in knowing the girl's identity was more shocking than what she had expected, "Oh .. it seems like someone who doesn't know herself." He turned to look at the three youths nearby, "I wonder what he will do in that arena."

"Senior Qixuan ...."

"I'm not interested in her, but rather interested in the girl's friend." The girl named Qixuan immediately turned her gaze over, looking at the side of the arena where a little girl was staring worriedly at the girl in the arena, looking at the side of the arena, quite easily everyone could tell the girl might just have a relationship with the girl in the arena, "She was the Princess of Emperor Wexin. Reportedly he has no friends, and was born with a cripple. I'm quite sorry for his fate, it's a pity that he was born into a noble family that only cares about strength."

Qixuan, a disciple in the first rank. The most respected and respected disciple, even whenever he appeared, the lowly disciple below him would not hesitate to salute him. Indeed such was the rule in the Kunlun sect, the weak had to respect the strong, but the strong should not oppress the weak.

Qixuan was approximately 14 years old, but having good talent made her at the top of the entire disciples in the Kunlun sect. Although she was only a little girl, but regarding knowledge and strength, even the Elders praised her the most genius disciple. Qixuan came from quite a distinguished family, so it was only natural that the girl was quite well-trained and knowledgeable.

The three youths nearby slightly showed surprised expressions, as the new girl below was the son of Emperor Wexin. Although they knew that the Wexin Emperor's daughter was only a crippled Cultivator, they still couldn't help but respect the girl considering that the girl's father was the leader of their country.

"Should we welcome him?" asked one of the youths nearby Qixuan. Thinking, perhaps Qixuan wanted Emperor Wexin's daughter to go upstairs and chat a few things with her.

Qixuan was silent for a moment, but a few seconds later she spoke, "Yes, call the girl up. There are some things I want to ask him."

***

Shua Xie circulated his gaze, like he was looking for someone. However after he saw a short old man jump towards him, Shua Xie took a step back.

Before Shua Xie conveyed his intention, he saluted the old man first, "Elder, I want to challenge someone. Can you help me?"

"Who do you want to challenge, Miss?" The old man frowned, a little unexpected that this girl was brave enough to challenge the other disciples whereas the Elder could see that the disciple plaque was an outer disciple plaque.

"I want to challenge a disciple in rank twenty, Senior Senlin!" shua Xie was stern, intentionally hard so that someone he called felt insinuated and immediately showed himself.

Shua Xie didn't need any further pleasantries, so it was better that he told her honestly his intention of ascending the arena.

The elder himself was surprised, "Miss, aren't you mispronouncing?" her question made sure it was possible that the girl did not know something so she spoke wrong. How could an outer disciple have the courage to challenge an inner disciple, whereas an unranked inner disciple alone did not dare to go against a ranked disciple.

Shua Xie grinned faintly as his gaze fell upon the three-storied pavilion with a large signboard that read 'Xionglue Pavilion'. Exactly Shua Xie steady the pavilion, he saw a man standing firmly staring at him, if not mistakenly guessing that man should be the one he was looking for. Shua Xie threw a grin at the young man, surely wanting to provoke the young man to immediately descend from the pavilion.

"I'm certainly not wrong, I want to challenge Senior Senlin. If he doesn't come down soon, then he'll lose!" shua Xie replied firmly, increasingly making the disciples around the arena noisily talk about him.

If not to use this method, there was no way Shua Xie could challenge the inner disciples quickly, Shua Xie's target if he could be the top ten ranked inner disciples he would have to defeat this morning as well. Although his actions were too reckless, inevitably Shua Xie had to take that risk, tomorrow the Eternal Realm Mainland had been opened there was no way Shua Xie would miss such a rare opportunity.

"Well, think about what you said, I'm not sure you'll end well." The elder gave Shua Xie a chance, perhaps the girl still had the desire to retract her words. But seeing the grin on Shua Xie's face, the elder understood he would not be able to hold it in anymore.

"Senior Senlin, I hope you bring yourself up soon, otherwise I'll say you lose and I'll take your rank." Shua Xie confirmed again. Just provoking the man's anger to get down immediately, otherwise Shua Xie would feel a bit of difficulty.

It didn't take long, suddenly someone jumped into the middle of the arena with a tightened face while holding back anger. The sword-wearing young man stared intently at Shua Xie, the girl who kept provoking his anger, plus it concerned linking to his rank.

"How dare an outer disciple say such disrespectful, did your parents not teach you manners?" The young man who was none other than Senlin walked up to Shua Xie.

Shua Xie snorted softly, "Your guess is right Senior Senlin. My parents never taught me manners," Shua Xie replied in a soft tone.

Senlin gave a rude snort, this whole life was her first time being physically humiliated by a woman. Senlin threw a sharp glare at the Elder beside Shua Xie, hinting that he accepted the girl's challenge.

The elder could only sigh in resignation, now he really could not stop the fight. With a heavy heart he came down from the arena but before he went down he reminded Shua Xie that the step the girl took was very wrong.

'Wrong or right, you'll all see later, ' Shua Xie said coldly in her heart, displeased at why so many people underestimate her.

"I hope you don't take back your words." Senlin insists, "It has brought me down don't expect me to be merciful even if you're a woman."

Shua Xie smiled stiffly, "Since Senior is a man, then I won't hesitate either."

"You!" Senlin wanted to curse but realized, she was in the arena better to teach the girl some manners with violence so that the girl could be conscious a little. Senlin quickly threw a punch towards the girl in front of him, although the punch was not entirely strong but she was sure enough to make the girl give up on being arrogant.

In fact the situation said otherwise, when Senlin slashed her punch Shua Xie had activated the Curse rhyme on his right foot, making the girl's appearance slightly different. Along with the drifting punch, Shua Xie repelled the punch with a kick of his right foot without using the slightest spirit power.

Thinking the girl was doing the wrong thing for fending off her punch that contained half her strength, it turned out to be wrong. When the girl's leg kicked her hand, a broken voice sounded from her bones, in an instant Senlin shouted loudly while holding his broken right hand.

"Aarr! My hands hurt so much! Broken hand!"

Shua Xie was certainly not silent, he again threw his kick into the man's back a little stronger making the man bounce far out of the arena with his spine broken. And again made the man scream loudly.

"Aarr! So sick! It hurts!"

Seeing that Senlin had exited the arena, Shua Xie no longer beat up the man. Although the fight had just begun, but it seemed that Shua Xie had finished it for no more than two minutes.

Everyone was wide-eyed to see Senlin bouncing so far away, even getting a crushing attack that started the talented disciple ended up quite sadistic. Even they were certain, Senlin would not be able to use her right hand anymore properly. Compared to thinking of Senlin, they were more mesmerized by the girl in the arena, the girl wearing a flat face seemed unconcerned by the suffering Senlin was going through.

"Senior Senlin lost? Impossible!" the students who watched.

"Yes, Senior Senlin has lost! We can all know that!"

"Well .. interesting! It seems that girl is stronger than we imagined!"

"Great! It's great! That girl is great! This show will be even more interesting!"

Shua Xie paid no heed to the words of the watching disciples, he refocused his eyes on the Xionglue pavilion where he could see the inhabitants of the pavilion gazing into the arena with a shocked look. Of course surprised, Shua Xie had just defeated Senlin with a kick without spirit power, how unsurprising were the residents of the Xionglue Pavilion. Actually if Senlin had not underestimated Shua Xie and fought more seriously, it was possible that the fight would still continue until now, but the man was too careless and looked down on someone. Now the most important thing is ....

'I managed to attract their attention. Staying against and winning, it felt quite interesting as well.'
