I don't want to know you, so there's no need to fight. Honestly, that's what Xika wanted to say. But what came out of his mouth was,

"Hm, it's better not. I'm not very good at fighting."

"Eh? That right? Too bad. Are you sure you don't want to fight with me? Look, I also participated in the Welcoming Competition, you know! Don't you want to find out my powers? Maybe you can tell it to the students who will participate. They'd want to know. How's it?"

I'm the one participating and I don't want to know.

"It seems like it's a bit of cheating. Better not."

"Haha........You are indeed an honest man huh, Xingli. I rarely find people like you."

Xingli was actually a woman.

"Alright, since you're a good man, then let me fight here. You can figure out my strength without having to fight with me."

Xika looked at Liu Shang in confusion. Why would this man want Xika to know her strength? Does he want to show off? Or did he expect Xika to tell the participating disciples? Wh why?

"Wouldn't. It was against the rules anyway." Xika said as she held Liu Shang's shoulder preventing him from advancing.

"Eh? You're a really good man." Liu Shang looked at Xika in astonishment.

Xika thought hard. It seemed that Liu Shang was still going to force Xika to see his strength. After that he would say, 'How? Have you noticed my abilities?' and that sentence will be continued with Liu Shang's explanation of his abilities. So how is it that Xika doesn't need to listen to this man's rant?

"I'm the one who's advancing. I want to expand my fighting experience. Perhaps you can estimate the abilities of the Academy's students."

"Well!" Liu Shang nodded in a sign of understanding. "alright. Since you've given me a chance, then I won't turn it down. Come forward. Do your best!" he said as he clenched his hands encouraging Xika.

Xika walked towards one of the fighting areas. Huo Bing spoke in his head.

"Dam, Xika. Are you sure you're going to fight under such conditions?"

"Haven't you forced me to fight dozens of crazy girls before? And now you want to stop me?"

"Well.....At least this time you can expose your power, right? Isn't he also your competitor?"

"I want to try to fight with a new style. Who knows if I will need it in the future. Besides, I was wondering how that kid's face looked when I realized who I really was."

Hearing Xika's remark, Huo Bing did not comment anymore. Fighting with different styles is sometimes necessary. For example, when we are being targeted or become fugitives in one city and we are forced to fight in the middle of the road, the change in appearance is still lacking. Some of the more skilled people can recognize who you are just by looking at your fighting style.

Xika looked around. One of the men in the arena in front of him fell and was unable to stand up again so he was declared defeated. After that no one else dared to challenge the man standing within the arena. There seems to be no specific rules for participating.

He hoped so because before he could ask the rules his feet had stepped into the arena first. Almost the entire audience surrounding the arena laughed at him. Even the man in Arenapun felt humiliated because Xika came forward to challenge him.

To be honest Xika was a bit confused as to why she became a laughingstock. Is it not so scary? He was sure Huo Bing would agree to that. But didn't he have horrendous Academy a few times? As he remembered, the name 'Xing Xika' had spread quite widely. Don't they know his face? Seems like. Maybe all that was spread was the news of the 'Xika like this' wind and 'Xika so' no one told her appearance in detail.

But there was one thing that caught Xika's attention. Out of all those laughing people, there was only one person who kept his mouth shut. Liu Shang's. The man smiled at him and clenched his hands together, trying to give him some spirit.

Looking at the man who was inversely proportional to the people around him, Xika involuntarily smiled. It seems that guy is not bad either.

"Son, I don't know where your guts came from to be able to set foot in this arena. But you can't back down anymore. Since you look like a newcomer, I'll be lenient with you. I'll have you lying down for a few months."

Laughter is back heard. Lying down for a few months what's being soft? But no one spoke. They all agreed that newcomers like Xika should be taught a lesson in order to know her place.

Crews! Crews!

The man stretched his muscles lazily. He did not consider Xika to be a dangerous opponent.

"You want to fight in a different style, don't you? What if you follow my advice? Fight like a Body Cultivator."

Huo Bing spoke at the right time when Xika was at a loss as to what kind of fight to be.

"Good idea. But what does Body Cultivator fight like?"

Under Xika, her shadow rippled. Then Heiliao's voice sounded in his head.

"All right."

Xika glanced at the man before her. Even though the arena overseer had announced the match started a moment ago, but it seemed that the man before him was in no hurry to finish him off.

A moment ago Hua Zhantian underestimated her. And now the name of the man was only mentioned when people were talking about Xing Xika. No one else called Hua Zhantian a great Inner Disciple or anything like that. There was only Hua Zhantian who was pitifully defeated by Xika.

He will also make this man pay for underestimating him. In a different way, of course.

The set!

Xika uses different horses. After dousing his entire body with qi, he dashed towards the man. His attack was accompanied by cheers 'Booooo!!!!'.

Shuts!

The man raised his hand casually to withstand Xika's punch. However her expression changed when Xika's attack touched her hand.

BUKS!

Taps! Taps! Taps!

And the man took three steps back because of Xika's punch. Everyone who watched instantly fell silent, including the arena overseer.

A few moments later someone's laughter sounded.

"God! You surprised me." Then he turned to the people beside him, "Do you really think that that boy can defeat Ma Dong? No way! Ma Dong must have deliberately stepped back to mock the boy."

Hearing his explanation, many people nodded and laughed. Ma Dong who heard the comment just laughed pretending that what was said earlier was indeed true. But Ma Dong did not step back on purpose.

He had purely stepped back due to Xika's punch. So he started looking at Xika with a different look. He also began to prepare his horses.

Shuts!

Xika raised her hand again. This time Ma Dong had no intention of trying the power of the punch. He prefers to dodge and then counterattack.

BUKS!

Ma Dong managed to deliver a backlash from the gap that Xika made when attacking.

Xika frowned looking at the place where Ma Dong hit him just a moment ago. Why doesn't he feel pain? There is a little tickling, but pain? There is hardly any.

Unfortunately, Ma Dong thought his attack had managed to see Xika's furrowed brows. He smiled with satisfaction before returning to his punch. Since he had previously been made ashamed, although no one knew of it, this time he restored his dignity. So it lays a punch with hands that have been covered in stone skin.

"Oh! Here it is, here it is! That famous Meteor Shower Ma Dong!"

The crowd stared at Ma Dong with anticipation. They wanted to see Ma Dong's famous technique finish off a Disputing Antichrist Boy.

Unfortunately the Disputant Antah Boy refused to lose under such an obscure technique. He did not even need to learn the pattern of Ma Dong's barrage of attacks to give him a counterattack.

Whush!

Xika did not care about Ma Dong's fist hitting his cheek and raised his fist until it hit Ma Dong's chin and threw the man out of the arena.

"Eh?"

Xika looked at her fist in confusion. It seemed that out of annoyance to be underestimated, he hit Ma Dong with quite a lot of qi gathered involuntarily.

And the entire crowd could only fall silent. Looking at the foam coming out of Ma Dong's mouth, they realized that this time Ma Dong had actually fainted, not just messing around.

Amidst the silent silence, someone applauded.

Liu Shang's.
