Han Shan's. One of the three strongest disciples to enter this year. He was from the Burning Abyss Clan, one of the main powers that existed in the capital. His decision to enter this academy was questioned by many people because normally the Burning Abyss Clan would not let its members study elsewhere. They believe that they are the best, need no other power to teach their members.

From that decision alone had already shown how arrogant the Burning Abyss Clan was. Some more intelligent people suspect that there is a conspiracy behind this act.

But whatever Han Shan's input to Mu Zhan Academy was, it didn't change the fact that he was among the three strongest disciples of the year.

Seeing Elder Hong Qian calling Han Shan, the crowd knew that Xika was looking for trouble with the wrong person. The story of Xika is over. Elder Hong Qian was famous for his bad nature and his reputation was stained with a lot of blood.

However, he always denied and insisted that his hands were never defiled by innocent people.

Han Shan took a step forward to salute the three elders before stepping up to arrive in front of Xika. On his face was an arrogant smile filled with arrogance. Just like the crowd, he also thought Xika was digging her own grave.

How could Xika who was only someone without a clear identity be compared to her, a disciple of the Burning Abyss Clan? When elder Hong Qian called out to him, Han Shan knew that he had to teach Xika a lesson to understand her position.

That way he could tell people the strength of the Burning Abyss Clan as well as earn the heart of elder Hong Qian. Killed two birds with one stone. When thinking about that, Han Shan involuntarily smiled widely. The smile that Xika thought was the smile of a fool.

"Han Shan's." The young man introduced himself, but he did not bow or take Xika by the hand. From his attitude, he did not want to introduce himself to Xika, but rather to the crowd.

"Xing Xika's." Seeing that Han Shan did not bother to bow or invite her to shake hands, Xika would not do that either.

"good. Remember this, fists and kicks have no eyes, so suffering injuries is natural. If you're afraid of getting hurt better back off now." Despite saying so, Elder Hong Qian simply looked at Xika as if mocking him.

Xika, who elder Hong Qian stared at, looked back at him without taking a step back. Seeing Xika's demeanor, Elder Hong Qian pretended not to care, but in his heart he was happy to know Xika would be a punching bag soon.

"Then you can start now."

"Heh. It'll be boring if you lose too easily. Come forward. I'll give you a chance to attack me first."

"Oh? Then I won't be sad." Finished speaking, Xika instantly disappeared and reappeared behind Han Shan with her fists already lodged in the young man's stomach.

"What?"

THE DUAK!

Taps! Taps! Taps!

Han Shan took three steps back as a result of Xika's attack. He swallowed his blood that was about to come out then looked at Xika furiously mixed with shock.

"Heh. You can go ahead first. It'll be boring if you lose too easily." Xika returned Han Shan's words to the young man himself.

His face turned red when he heard Xika's words.

"Good, very good. At least you have the ability to challenge this Young Master. Now take a good look at how I'm gonna beat you."

"I'm waiting." replied Xika with a smile on her face.

BRACKET!

Han Shan stomped his feet hard until the floor cracked. Then he put up the horses ready to hit. Qi started to gather in his clenched hands. Han Shan raised his head curiously with Xika's reaction.

"A long time. If you use that technique in real combat, you've been dead many times."

"Damn it! Eat this!"

The young man immediately floated his Qi-filled hand towards Xika. While Xika just stared at the attack boredly. Neither the preparation nor the execution, Han Shan took too long. He twisted his body dodging Han Shan's attacks easily.

"What's? He could dodge Han Shan's attack that easily?"

"Don't you see how that young man attacked Han Shan earlier? He's definitely a talented person who's hiding himself."

"No, not necessarily. It could have been just a coincidence."

Many people again struggled when they saw Xika could attack and dodge as he pleased. They became curious about Xika's identity. Does he really have the ability? Or was it just luck?

But some sharp-eyed people can see that it's not luck. It was purely Xika's strength. And Elder Bai was one of them. Even though he is famous for his kindness, it does not mean he is stupid. He could see that Xika already knew the path of Han Shan's attack before the young man launched his attack.

Moreover, what Xika said was indeed true. Han Shan took too long in using his techniques and it could get him killed many times when dealing with enemies. But how many battles did he face to say that? Probably more than a hundred, maybe even thousands. And among them was a fight that risked his life.

"Damn it! Don't keep avoiding if you dare! Attack me!" said Han Shan who was annoyed because his attack did not succeed in hitting Xika earlier.

Xika was about to give an attack accepting Han Shan's challenge when a familiar aura returned. He stopped to look left and right to look for the owner of the aura but did not find it. Suddenly an idea popped into his head.

THE DUAK!

"Geeh!"

Han Shan managed to hit Xika right in her stomach.

This prompted a lot of reactions from various spectators. Some are becoming increasingly convinced that before Xika was just lucky. But Elder Bai and the few people who had sharp appraising abilities knew that Xika did not rely on luck.

Xika was able to dodge and attack Han Shan indeed based on her ability, not due to luck. They also realized that the blow was intentional. Xika can evade, but she doesn't.

Earlier, Elder Bai knew that Xika had seen Han Shan's punch and knew which direction the young man was going to hit. Obviously Xika could avoid it, but why didn't she do it? What made him take Han Shan's punch?

Han Shan of course did not know that Xika deliberately did not dodge. He thought that Xika's luck had run out and it was time for him to show off. With that thought, he stepped slowly while smiling widely.

In contrast to Xika, Han Shan who was expected to have the upper hand instead had a messy appearance. Though the clothes should be neater than Xika who only relies on luck.

At that time many people were hesitant. Is it true that Xika does not rely on her luck and does have the ability?

Han Shan was now only a few steps away from Xika.

"Why? Not running anymore? Your luck's over, isn't it?" tease Han Shan

Xika just stood quietly. It seemed that he was waiting for the presence of someone, although not many were aware of it.

Seeing Xika who was just silent, Han Shan thought Xika was frightened and unable to answer. So with a big smile he swung his fist. Just when Han Shan's fist was about to hit Xika, a small white hole appeared and spewed out a knife that managed to scratch her face.

"Damn it!"

Han Shan instantly stopped his attack and turned left right looking for who threw the knife. At first he thought that the culprit was a ferocious man who had dared to interfere with his fight.. But it was not a man who threw it. Instead, it was a girl. A girl who is very beautiful like a goddess and has an expression like frost in the morning that never melts.

"No-nona, can I tell why you attacked me?" asked Han Shan with furrowed brows. The girl was indeed able to make many men including Han Shan submit to her. Under ordinary circumstances, Han Shan would have forgotten everything and focused on chasing after the girl, but this was not an ordinary condition. Moreover he felt a dangerous aura emanating from the girl.

But the girl did not answer Han Shan's question. Instead, he continued to mount attacks that of course could not be held by Han Shan. Only a few seconds passed but now Han Shan's body was already covered in wounds from the girl's blade.

"You....."

Elder Hong Qian was about to step forward and teach a lesson to the girl who dared to interrupt the fight, but Elder Bai raised a flicking hand himself. Hong Qian turned his head to ask for an excuse but all he got was an indisputable slab.

So he was forced to watch in silence when the girl beat Han Shan up. And so do the spectators. They were curious about the identity of this girl especially with her face because the position of the girl was currently turning her back on them.

Contrary to the audience who were surprised to see Han Shan being beaten by the mysterious girl, Xika tried hard to remember who the girl was.

"Hmm.His back feels familiar...Hair also looks familiar. I think I met him somewhere. But where is it?"

BRUK!

Finally the girl stopped after smashing Han Shan. He left Han Shan who was half-kneeling on the floor just like that with an indifferent gaze as if what happened to the young man had nothing to do with him.

Then the girl turned around and knew Xika who she was.

"ah! Disabled girl!"

Is correct. The identity of the mysterious girl who appeared suddenly and beat up Han Shan was Yin Xingli. It was only fitting that Xika felt familiar with the girl's back before. He had fought several times together so he was quite familiar with his back when fighting.

But unfortunately he did not manage to filter the first word out of his mouth. Xingli looked at him sharply just like when they first met. And that happened again repeated.

Without any cue Xingli swung his knife and attacked Xika.

"Hey-hey! Why are you attacking me?"

Xingli looked at him with a strange look, then returned to attack Xika. Behind him, Huo Bing and Heiliao were laughing out loud. It had been a long time since they had watched Xika foolishly face women.

By the way, Huo Bing and Heiliao arrived not long after Xika. They were a bit late because Heiliao came up with his new appearance, a human form. If Huo Bing had a striking appearance with red blue in his human form, then Heiliao was inversely proportional to him.

He was wearing all black clothes. His appearance was completely inconspicuous and not many would notice him if he did not stand with Huo Bing. When he saw Heiliao and Huo Bing standing side by side, it would create a strange sight that was difficult to say.

But Xika was too busy to be able to see Heiliao's new appearance. He was dodging Xingli's deadly stab and occasionally counterattacking with a similar knife Lian Minjie had given him.

Xingli was quite surprised to see that the knife Xika was using looked very familiar with the knife. But as usual, he said nothing and continued his attack on Xika.

"I don't remember you using a knife. As I recall you only used swords and needles. You're getting better huh." said Xika as she parried Xingli's knife with her knife.

As usual, Xingli said nothing, not even a change on his face. But only Xika knows how to read the girl's mind, with her eyes. And from her gaze, it seemed that Xingli was quite pleased with Xika's praise.

If the audience was already shocked when they saw that Xika could dodge all of Han Shan's attacks easily, then at the moment they couldn't believe the sight that their eyes were seeing.

When Xingli turned around, many people knew of his identity. Although not many know his face, but the news that he has a very beautiful face is widespread. Aside from his face, his strength was also recognized by many as top-tier. In fact, some call her the Goddess of War, because her power is not inferior at all to her beauty.

That's why the audience does not believe when they see Xika can fight with balance when fighting the Goddess of War.

But Xika did not care much about the response of the crowd. He enjoyed the fight, just like the girl. Although it looks fierce, but actually they both did not expend all their abilities.

Finally, after exchanging a few more attacks, the two stopped. Each one looked into each other's eyes and deep in each other's minds.

Many people are confused when they see the two looking at each other without batting an eye, some even suspect that the two are lovers.

"During not meeting. Where's the welcome hug?" xika asked broke the atmosphere while stretching out her two hands.

The double!

Instead of a hug, Xika gets a late welcome kick in her stomach. But Xika's smile did not disappear from her face.

At that moment, both of them thought the same thing.

The sky has allowed us to meet. Are we destined for each other?
