C3: Im Not Showing Off...

great Zhu Family, but the resources he received were non-existent. He entered the outer division last year, and he failed to qualify for the inner division with his talent."

Shang Xia patiently waited for Yan Qi to get to the point.

"There was nothing weird about his strength initially, and he only managed to enter the late Blood Qi Forming Realm half a year ago. Things seemed to change all of a sudden and he managed to enter the Martial Realm in a single month after the short holiday given by the institution!"

A look of interest appeared on Shang Xia's face and he asked, "Entering the Martial Realm in a month? That's interesting…"

Yan Qi's expression sank once again. "That's not all. According to students in his division, he managed to successfully cultivate the Scarlet Blood Palm by the time the evaluation started two months later."

"Entering the Martial Realm in a month and learning the Scarlet Blood Palm in two… Looks like his life was a mess before that!"

Yan Qi sighed, "According to Liu Zhifei, Zhu Ying managed to awaken his hidden potential!"

"Hehe…"

"Two months passed since he learned the Scarlet Blood Palm. He might have already learned another move! That might be the reason behind his desire to challenge you." Yan Qi thought out loud.

"There's no need to worry. I won't let my guard down. Especially not against him." Shang Xia smiled.

"Right, with your strength, there's not much to worry about." Yan Qi tried to form the same smile as Shang Xia but failed miserably.

Turning to look at Yan Qi, a mischievous glint appeared in Shang Xia's eye. "Seventh Uncle, do you know how creepy you look? What you just said doesn't suit your brutish features at all…"

With the corners of his lips twitching slightly, Yan Qi snapped, 'Young master, Liu Zhifei is someone from the Liu Family. When Zhu Ying entered the institution, the Liu Family's shadow seemed to be behind him. Do you think this has anything to do with them?"

Thinking back to the crazed look on Zhu Ying's face, Shang Xia shook his head slowly. "It's too obvious. The possibility is there, but the Liu Family isn't stupid enough to use such an obvious method."

Yan Qi nodded silently in response.

Thinking deeper, Shang Xia realized another important point. Weren't there novels where the protagonist was born due to their broken engagement?! Was there an old grandpa living in Zhu Ying's mind or did he manage to obtain some weird ass treasure?

One had to know that he met two experts with the glow of a protagonist since he arrived.

the first division and Sun Haiwei of the third division.

The other was a middle aged man who had a distant look on his face, However, Shang Xia was shocked to discover his presence.

The man came from the Protection Division, and he was a pretty impressive figure comparable to an instructor in the other divisions.

"Disciple greets teachers and Instructror Yuan!"

Zhu Ying, who was about to mock Shang Xia for his lack of treasures, swallowed his words immediately. The confident expression he had started to disappear. Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

"Hehe, he has a weapon for offense and a defensive talisman to protect himself from Martial Brother Zhu's attacks… Looks like the mid-grade weapon isn't enough to give martial brother Zhu an advantage."

"Their weapons are amazing! I haven't touched a low-grade weapon and they have so many of them!"

"What the f…"

Looks of envy and jealousy were thrown their way, but the noise quickly stopped.

Shang Xia brought yet another item! It was his belt.

As the corner of Yuan Zilu's mouth twitched, he tapped the buckle on the belt and a sword emerged.

"Delicate Jade River Sword! It's a mid-grade weapon too!"

"Hiss…"

Zhu Ying's face turned completely black.

He didn't know if Shang Xia was showing off his wealth, but he felt as though a fly was caught in his throat.

Other than the Ivory Fan that was known to the rest of the disciples, that was the first time he was revealing his secrets!

No one would have thought that both treasures he brought out would be more precious than the low-grade Ivory Fan!

Turning to look at Zhu Ying, Shang Xia shrugged nonchalantly, "I told you it wasn't a good idea."

The corners of Zhu Ying's eyes twitched violently in response.

Coughing lightly, Yuan Zilu decided to break the awkward air between them. "It's just a friendly competition between fellow disciples. Let's not use any weapons."

A frown formed on Sun Haiwei's face as she looked at Shang Xia.

Chuckling slightly, he handed over his treasures to her for safekeeping.

After thinking about it for some time, Zhu Ying finally decided to hand his weapons over to Liu Zhifei.

As silence filled the air, the look in everyone's eye changed when they looked at him again
