Dominating Martial King
Chapter 356 - 356 22 Chu Yidao Subscription Request_2

356: Chapter 22 Chu Yidao (Subscription Request)_2 356: Chapter 22 Chu Yidao (Subscription Request)_2 At this time on the official ship, Zuo Qingyun had already arranged a banquet table to celebrate Chu Xisheng’s achievements.

He had just won over 30,000 taels thanks to Chu Xisheng and felt the need to show his gratitude.

It was dinner time, and Zuo Qingyun asked the best tavern at the docks to prepare the finest banquet in the shortest possible time.

Meanwhile, Du Yunlai was picking out dishes while talking to Chu Xisheng, “Little Chu, your move ‘White Horse is Not a Horse’ was truly stunning.

It’s a pity I’m not a disciple of the Formless Divine Sect; otherwise, I would definitely learn it.”

Regret was evident in Du Yunlai’s words.

The rhythm of ‘White Horse is Not a Horse’ actually matched very well with his White Cloud Sword.

If he could master this move, his combat power would greatly increase.

However, as it was a secret technique of the Formless Divine Sect, Du Yunlai could only sigh in admiration.

Zuo Qingyun then passed a cup of liquor to Chu Xisheng with diligence, “The display just now was truly eye-opening.

The so-called twelve wonders of Wo State, none seem to match you even slightly.

But this ‘White Horse is Not a Horse,’ could it be the strongest strike you mentioned?”

“Not at all!” Chu Xisheng smiled and shook his head.

He took the cup and spoke with a profound expression, “Up until now, no one has ever seen my fastest or my strongest blade.”

—Only after being severely wounded.

But there was no need to voice this out loud, as it would diminish the effect of the pretense.

In the presence of Du Yunlai, Zuo Tianlu, Ji Qianqian, and Sikong Xin, all four exchanged glances, curiosity flickering in their eyes.

Eight days later, deep within the caves of the Capital City Tianji Pavilion.

The brothers Hu Kan and Hu Lai were walking shoulder to shoulder through the deep caverns.

Along the way, they encountered numerous colleagues who greeted them with smiles.

Many seniors from the Tianji Pavilion also wore friendly expressions.

“Isn’t that Big Hu and Little Hu?

The matter with the Shenxiu Ten Masters was handled well; you truly crushed the reputation of the Martial Arts Tower this time.”

“Did you two hear?

Just last evening, Chu Xisheng in Fei State defeated Long Xiaoyun who was ninth on the Qingyun List with a single strike.

This lad is extraordinary!”

“Since Chu Xisheng entered the canal, in the past nine days, he has beaten twenty-seven people consecutively!

He has suppressed Wo State, Ningzhou, Ding State, and Fei State, and so far, not one person has been a match for him in a single move!

The only one who lasted six moves was Dou Yuan from Ding State, who is already past seventeen with a cultivation under the Seventh Rank.

He even had the nerve to challenge?”

“You two have a good eye!

I originally thought that when Chu Xisheng headed north to the Capital, our Tianji Pavilion might face embarrassment.

But instead, this lad, single-handedly and with a single blade, swept across the Four States.

With his track record, he is already comparable to the young heroes of the Heluo Two States.”

“East State Martial Arts Tower really is blind, ranking such a person at only twenty-ninth!”

“The lad has a future!

In recent years, the Martial Arts Tower has been relying on their many branches spread throughout the land to spread rumors that our Tianji Martial Arts Manual ranking is inaccurate and greatly skewed, even claiming that our Tianji Pavilion plagiarizes their ranking.

But now what?”

“Speaking of which, the Martial Arts Tower is on the decline, people floating above duties, internal strife ongoing.

If you talk about accurate rankings, our Tianji Martial Arts Manual is the one to check.

However, what pleases me the most is that our Tianji Pavilion has successors.”

This treatment was something Hu Kan and Hu Lai had never experienced since joining the Tianji Pavilion, leaving them a bit overwhelmed.

When the two arrived at the cave where the East District was located, their supervisor, the East District Master, even patted them on the shoulders with a smile.

“The candidate you recommended this time was excellent, keep it up.

Our Tianji Pavilion ranking needs eyes that can find real gold from the sand.”

He shook his head, clucking his tongue in amazement, “I had looked at Chu Xisheng’s documents initially and felt that the East State Martial Arts Tower vastly underestimated him, yet I did not expect them to underestimate him to this extent.

This lad’s sword skill is as swift as chasing wind and lightning, capable of competing with those young warriors from the North.”

“I remember sitting here seven days ago, uneasy and restless.

It wasn’t until I heard that Chu Xisheng defeated Bai Guangda and Zhen Nian, and suppressed Wo State with his blade, that I realized we had still underestimated him.”

The elegant and scholarly master added these last few sentences with a hint of self-mockery.

Hu Kan also remembered how dark the East District Master’s face had been several days ago when he heard Chu Xisheng was heading north to the Capital.

Even when the Master was in the worst of moods, he never blamed the brothers.

His expression respectful, and with a hint of apology, he bowed, “This time, it was our recklessness that troubled and worried you.”

The East District Master, with a forgiving gesture, flicked his sleeve, “This was something I approved of.

The situation arose suddenly, and the matter of this lad rushing to the capital to protect his friend was unexpected by anyone; how could we blame you brothers?

However, whether he can maintain his position among the Shenxiu Ten Masters still depends on whether he can win against those three after entering the Capital—”

Upon hearing this, Hu Kan and Hu Lai’s expressions became solemn.

—Tie Xiu Luo Si Huangquan, Divine Swallow Saber Li Xiu, and Mad Blade Wang Ming, are not comparable to the so-called Heavenly Prides of the southern states.

In the future, these three are all sure to be among the top thirty Super Geniuses on the Qingyun General List!

All three were already at Seventh Rank cultivation, and each could sweep across the Four States,

The East District Master, unaware of their concerns for their friend, chuckled softly, “No need to worry too much, with things at this stage, our Tianji Pavilion’s reputation remains intact.

As you said, Chu Xisheng’s time in cultivation is extremely short, not even a year, so his potential is promising.”

What this implied was that even if Chu Xisheng were defeated, they could still argue based on his talent and potential.
