Chapter 959: Chapter 959: Let Me Help You

"You’re saying Senior Brother Tu has a better chance of winning? How... how is that possible?"

Huang Miao looked at Tu Hu and then at Zhou Tong, shaking her head, "Senior Brother Tu’s strength is only slightly better than mine, while Senior Brother Zhou is ahead of him by a minor realm. The gap of a minor realm is enough to let Senior Brother Zhou defeat Senior Brother Tu with ease."

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Although Senior Brother Tu’s cultivation level is slightly lower than Senior Brother Zhou’s, I would bet that his combat power is actually stronger than Senior Brother Zhou’s."

Although a martial artist’s cultivation level generally indicates their strength, sometimes combat power can be affected by many factors, such as actual combat experience and martial arts techniques.

Take Fang Bai, for example, his cultivation level is only equivalent to the early stage of the Vast Level in this world, but his combat power can sweep through all martial artists within the Vast Level Realm. When he goes all out, he can even fight against a Cosmic Level Expert."

This is because the cultivation techniques practiced by Fang Bai are of an extremely high grade and because of his extensive battle experience from a previous life.

When Fang Bai first saw Tu Hu, he knew that this man was not as simple as he seemed. It appeared that Tu Hu had cultivated some special technique and possessed the ability to challenge someone beyond his level. Although not to the extent Fang Bai could challenge across a major realm, challenging a martial artist with a minor realm higher was still manageable for him.

What Fang Bai didn’t understand was why Tu Hu, who could have become a core disciple and received more cultivation resources every month, would choose to stay in the Inner Court instead.

Could it be that he preferred to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond?

Although Fang Bai was somewhat interested in Tu Hu, he didn’t pay special attention to him. After all, there wasn’t much interaction between them, and their cultivation levels were not on the same scale.

Huang Miao, hearing Fang Bai say that Tu Hu had a chance of defeating Zhou Tong, was somewhat skeptical. However, when she observed Tu Hu’s expression, she noticed that facing Zhou Tong, Tu Hu showed no signs of nervousness or panic. Instead, he radiated a strong will to fight as if eager for a battle with Zhou Tong.

"Crazy... Senior Brother Tu has gone crazy... Has he forgotten what happened two years ago?"

From across the several zhang wide ravine, Huang Miao looked at Tu Hu, who was brimming with a fighting spirit, and frowned, murmuring to herself.

Tu Hu was known in Bitao Martial Academy as a challenge fanatic, having been unbeaten in the Inner Court for years. Two years ago, after having grown arrogant, Tu Hu challenged the least ranked among the top ten core disciples, Shi Yan, and was severely injured and publicly humiliated by him, requiring a full half-year to recover.

After that incident, Tu Hu seemed to have become a bit more restrained, never again challenging a core disciple.

In Huang Miao’s eyes, Tu Hu was an open and generous person. During previous mountain training sessions, many Bitao Martial Academy disciples had received his help, so he was well-liked.

A few years ago, during a mountain training session, Huang Miao was attacked by a group of spirit beasts, narrowly escaping death under their sharp teeth and claws. Fortunately, Tu Hu, who happened to be passing by, came to her aid and saved her from danger.

This incident filled Huang Miao with gratitude toward Tu Hu.

Now, seeing Tu Hu in conflict with the core disciple Zhou Tong, Huang Miao couldn’t help but worry about him.

"Senior Brother Tu has saved my life; I can’t just stand by and watch when he’s in trouble."

Huang Miao spoke and leaped across the several zhang wide ravine, making her way to Tu Hu’s side.

"Let’s go over and take a look as well!"

Although Fang Bai did not want to get involved in the conflict between Tu Hu and Zhou Tong, Huang Miao was after all the captain of their team, so it was not good for them to just stand by and watch as she crossed over to the opposite side of the mountain stream.

Hou Ziping whispered, "Junior Brother Fang, Zhou Tong is a core disciple, we can’t afford to provoke him! If Senior Sister Huang gets into a conflict with Zhou Tong because of Tu Hu, we..."

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Senior Sister Huang doesn’t believe in me, and nor do you? Tu Hu is a highly skilled master who keeps a low profile. Zhou Tong is no match for him, so neither Senior Sister Huang nor us will be involved."

Seeing Fang Bai speak so confidently, Hou Ziping finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good... That’s good... "

Following behind Huang Miao, they too crossed the mountain stream and stood beside her.

"Junior Sister Huang, what are you doing...?"

Seeing Huang Miao and her four companions appear beside him, Tu Hu frowned, but his gaze did not leave Zhou Tong across from him, remaining highly vigilant.

Huang Miao said solemnly, "Senior Brother Tu, I’m here to help you!"

"You... help me?"

Tu Hu’s frown deepened, then he shook his head and said, "This matter between us is not something you can intervene in! Go away!"

Huang Miao said, "No, Senior Brother Tu, you have saved my life before, and now that you are in trouble, how can I just ignore it?"

Tu Hu said irritably, "With your strength, you’re not helping me, but making it worse for me! Go away! And take these people with you who came over with you, all of you go!"

Although his words belittled Huang Miao’s strength, she was not at all angry, but instead stubbornly shook her head and said, "Senior Brother Tu, I know you’re purposely trying to send me away to keep me out of the conflict, but I, Huang Miao, am not an ungrateful person. I will repay your kindness, even at the cost of my life!"

Tu Hu raised an eyebrow, about to say something else, but suddenly heard a cold snicker followed by a mocking voice asking, "Are you the one who is ranked second on the Inner Court disciples’ strength list, Huang Miao?"

The person speaking was none other than the core disciple Zhou Tong, who was confronting Tu Hu.

Zhou Tong had fair skin, a straight nose, thin lips, and a lean frame. Dressed in pristine core disciple attire, he looked rather graceful and elegant.

Behind Zhou Tong stood nine disciples of Bitao Martial Academy; among these nine, aside from two from the External Courtyard, the rest were from the Inner Court. They were also among the top one hundred on the Inner Court disciples’ strength list.

Behind Tu Hu, although there were also nine disciples from Bitao Martial Academy, the group included two menial servant disciples and three from the External Courtyard. Only four were Inner Court disciples, and their strength was merely on par with those behind Zhou Tong.

Though both teams had the same number of people, in the eyes of others, when considering overall strength, Tu Hu’s side was clearly far inferior to Zhou Tong’s. If the two sides clashed, it would certainly be Tu Hu’s side that would be at a disadvantage.

Even the nine disciples from Bitao Martial Academy behind Tu Hu thought so, their faces filled with worry. They knew that if Tu Hu were defeated, they, as disciples teamed up with Tu Hu, would surely face humiliation from Zhou Tong’s side.

So now, they could only pray that Tu Hu would create a miracle and turn the tables on Zhou Tong.

However, Zhou Tong was a distinguished core disciple. His cultivation level had reached the high rank of Heaven Level. How could he be easily defeated by Tu Hu, who was in the External Courtyard with only a mid-level Heaven Level cultivation?
