Xika turned.

"I? Nope. You're wrong."

"Eh? Did ya? Sorry, I thought you were Xing Xika. Then what's your name?"

Xika glanced at the man in annoyance. Introduce yourself first to ask the identity of others. Lazily, he answered,

"Yin Xingli."

The man did not look suspicious. He nodded.

"ah! Then, do you know where she used to be, Xingli?"

"Eitherway. I rarely see it." Xika did not lie. He rarely looked in the mirror, so he rarely saw himself.

"so yeah. Too bad. I really wanted to meet him. Uh! Thank you yes. I'm sorry I wasted your time."

"Why do you want to meet him, if I may know?"

"Hm, why? I don't know. No particular reason, anyway. I heard a lot of news about him, so I wanted to make sure he was the real one."

"so yeah. Then excuse me first."

Xika walked away. The man was hiding something. Butwhat? And how could disciples from other clans and sects know about him? As he remembered, he only shocked the Academy, not the entire Capital. Wait, it doesn't seem.

He had fought several times with disciples from other powers. Is that why the news about him spread so quickly? Does that mean he's famous now? Does he have to disguise himself if he wants to take a walk in the capital?

Never mind. If he was famous for his strength, there should be no problem walking in the Capital. He ignored the suspicious man and continued walking towards the Library. He wanted to clear his mind by reading a book.

The library guard nodded when he saw her enter. The other students whispered and pointed at him. He doesn't care about them. He doesn't want to care about anything. He just wants to take his mind off. And books are the best way.

He picked up a random book that was otherwise incorrectly titled 'History of the Lin Dynasty' and read it in a corner of the room. Xika managed to finish it within a few hours. The sun was already above his head. But he still did not move to eat. It's not appetite. He stood up to choose another book.

Unfortunately, today was not as peaceful as he had hoped. He never lived peacefully at the Academy.

From behind the bookshelf where he returned the 'History of the Lin Dynasty', an eye fixedly stared at him. The eyes of a bastard Xika had seen somewhere out of nowhere.

Srak!

The owner of the bastard's eyes shifted the books so that he could see Xika's face directly. And Xika-pun remembered where she had seen the damn eye. Zhantian Hua.

"Well, whoa, whoa. It looks like you're hiding here. I spent a whole day looking for you, you fucking kid!"

"You seem to be more stupid than my mind."

"Good, good. Just keep talking. I want to see how you talk when I cut your tongue out."

Xika frowned. The Hua Zhantian he had met in the forest earlier did not say much and directly attacked. Why is he talking so much more now?

"Follow me out. You're not gonna hide in the library forever, are you?"

There is a ban on not fighting in the Library. Hua Zhantian though had to obey that rule. The man turned his head to look at Xika who was still not stepping.

"Why? There's no girl to protect, so now you're displaying your true nature? A coward!"

Xika did not want to serve Hua Zhantian. His body was not in a favorable condition. But it seems the man will not keep his mouth shut if he is not taught a lesson.

Outside the Library, there were already many people gathered. It seemed that the news that he was going to fight with Hua Zhantian had already spread. Maybe the student in the library spread it.

"I thought you would hide forever in the Library." Hua Tianming sneered at Xika stepping out of the Library.

Shuts!

Xika turned the Space Shifter into a stick, then directly charged towards Hua Zhantian.

Wush!

His punch failed to hit Hua Zhantian's head. The man dodged easily. It seemed like his attack had been read from the beginning. He gave out a few more attacks but it seemed that Hua Zhantian was able to dodge them easily.

"Why? You're not excited because there's no girl watching? Should I bring the girl that was yesterday?"

Uh. God fucking. He discussed Wu Liao again. Xika is trying not to think about anyone right now.

Blars!

Both ends of Xika's wand burned, then he twirled his wand while throwing fireballs that came from the end of his stick.

Hua Zhantian did not consider Xika's attack. He folded his arms, then stomped one of his legs, and the ground jumped up holding back Xika's fireballs.

"Fireball? Is that all you can do?"

DASHH!

Hua Zhantian kicked the ground until dust flew around him, then the dust turned into bees with sharp stings. As the bees flew over Xika, Hua Zhantian melted and fused with the ground beneath.

Xika beat the bees one by one until they were crushed into the ground again. The number was quite a lot, but he was already used to dealing with attacks like this. Moreover, the Hua Zhantian bees seemed to be powerless, they were all crushed with a single blow.

THE DUAK!

Hua Zhantian emerged from the ground behind him and managed to slam into his back.

"AHK!"

Bruk!

Xika was thrown a few meters before finally falling to the ground. He saw many people around him whispering.

"Xika versus Hua Zhantian. Who do you think will win?"

"It must be Hua Zhantian. It was not without reason that he had managed to become the Strongest In Disciple for so many years."

"True as well. But I kept hoping for Xika. That kid's good at surprising everyone."

"You're hoping for Xika? Can't you see he's lying on the ground right now? Even if the boy was great, but there was still no way he could defeat Hua Zhantian. Thats impossible. Just look at their cultivation differences."

"Really, right. I don't think it'll be long until Xika gives up. Twenty more attacks."

"Twenty? You underestimated Hua Zhantian too much. I bet ten."

"I bet five!"

And the people around him started betting how many strikes he could receive before he eventually lost.

"God."

Xika glanced at Hua Zhantian. It seemed that the man was in no hurry to finish him off. He deliberately did that to attract the attention of the audience. To show his power.

Xika stand. He directly directed his hands towards Hua Zhantian. He intended to suppress Hua Zhantian's entire body with the wind until the man died. Fuck the Academy rules.

Hua Zhantian's face stiffened when she saw Xika raise her hand. But when he realized the wind was pressing down on him, he instantly relaxed. Both of his feet he put on the ground.

To the weak disciple, Xika's actions seemed to have no effect. Nothing happened at all. So they wondered what Xika was doing.

"What did he actually do?"

The stronger disciple replied, "Xika intends to suppress Hua Zhantian with the wind element. But he didn't make it. Hua Zhantian protected herself with qi and Xika was unable to penetrate it."

"Although it didn't work out, Xika was quite great. Just look at the cracks that formed on the ground beneath Hua Zhantian. Perhaps only Xika managed to force Hua Zhantian to such an extent."

"Huh! What's the point of ground cracking? The point was that he had not managed to give Hua Zhantian a cut."

Inwardly, Xika cursed. The difference in cultivation between them seemed to make it many times more difficult to suppress Hua Zhantian.

"Heh. Is that all you can do? Honestly, I'm disappointed, Xing Xika!"

Hua Zhantian stomped his feet again. This time the ground rose holding Xika's feet.

"Damn. Just like this I'm-"

JLB!

A large thorn emerged from the ground piercing Xika's stomach. But the reason Xika was surprised was not that. Moments before the thorn hit him, he was about to release the ground that was holding his foot. But he failed.

Wh why?

Seeing Xika who was just silent unmoved like that made Hua Zhantian laugh with satisfaction. He ran and gave a kick to Xika's chin.

BUKS!

Xika slammed into the ground. The thorn in his stomach had already returned to the ground, but his blood was still continuously dripping. But his eyes were still unfocused. He still doesn't understand. Wh why? Why can't he control the land? Before he could, why not today?

TUBS!

Hua Zhantian stepped on Xika's stomach. He laughed with pride.

"Haha! Xika Xing! This is all you have and you dare challenge me?"

Blood spurted out from Xika's mouth as a result of Hua Zhantian's incision. Insults and ridicule from the surroundings filled Xika's ears. Scornful laughter filled the air with Hua Zhantian who stood proudly on it.

God fucking. He can cultivate. It was different from the old Xika. It was no longer the weak Xika who became the subject of everyone's ridicule.

BUKS!

Xika kicked Hua Zhantian's stomach. The man stepped back. But it seems that Xika's attack did not provide any meaningful injuries to him.

"Oh? Still able to fight? All right, I'll give you a chance. Get on your knees and kiss my feet. Maybe I'll be kind enough to forgive your life. Oh, and don't forget to bring that girl from yesterday. I'm not done having fun."

The laughter sounded again. They all agreed with Hua Zhantian. That he would not be able to defeat Hua Zhantian, so he should just give up on that man.

Disdain. It was enough that he lived for years with contempt. He will not allow himself to be humiliated again. He will show that he is different from his old self. It's not a mockery.

Xika stand. He looked at Hua Zhantian sharply. A few days ago, people would have been afraid to see his gaze like that. But now, they were laughing looking at his gaze and yelling at him to give up.

Once again, Xika raised both her hands. And people laughed again. They waited for him to fail again like before. Even Hua Zhantian-pun laughed amusedly.

Heh. Justjust look. They can laugh at it. But he will show you the price to pay to underestimate it.

Ignoring everyone's insults and ridicule, Xika clenched her hands together. But what happened next was not in everyone's shadow.

Blood flowed from both of Hua Zhantian's eyes.

"Eh?"

Before the audience could ask, blood dripped back from elsewhere. This time from Hua Zhantian's ears.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Hua Zhantian shouted in pain while clutching his head. His eyes felt sore. Blurred vision. And his ears ringing.

Xika smiled vilely looking at that. He stepped forward slowly.

The test!

Hua Zhantian's nose was also bleeding. And his mouth too. The crowd shouted in horror at the bleeding Hua Zhantian had experienced in the seven holes.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Hua Zhantian shouted while rolling around. His nose feels weird. Acid mouth. His whole body rejected him. He cannot control the blood that comes out. It was as if he no longer had any power over his body.

Xika stood near Hua Zhantian who was still rolling around. A cold smile adorned Xika's lips. He lifted his legs up high and smashed them right into Hua Zhantian's stomach.

"GAHK!"

Blood spurted out more than Hua Zhantian's mouth. The few female disciples present closed their eyes unable to see the terrifying sight.

Shush!

Blars!

Xika raised her hand and her palm burned. "You're right. This is all I can do. The Fireball."

And the smashing of Xika's burning hand managed to make the Strongest Disciple In scream in pain until the entire Academy heard him.

"Crazy. It's insane! Xing Xika is crazy!"

Some other similar screams were heard. They looked at him with different eyes. He was no longer seen as a subject of ridicule, but rather something frightening.

Grep's!

Sreth!

Xika grabbed Hua Zhantian, then dragged him roughly regardless of his charred body and still bleeding.

Bruk!

He threw Hua Zhantian against a wall. Then wrote a sentence with Hua Zhantian's blood.

'Defeated by Xing Xika'
