Chapter 25 Bringing In Clients
Xia He said, “Sure. If you doubt me, I’ll prove it to you. Let’s have a showdown. What do you think?!” Xia He was a hot-blooded person. Seeing that the other party was also 17 or 18 years old and was a boy, he definitely wanted to compete with them.
At this moment, Xia Xi was relatively calm. “Xia He, forget it. Don’t cause trouble. We’re only here to increase our strength. If the other party wants to be jealous, let them be jealous.”
However, when the level 19 freshman saw Xia Xi speak, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a teasing look. “Ah? Are you a little boy or a little girl? You’re really good-looking. You’ll know how powerful I am later.”
Xia Xi hated it the most when people said that he looked like a girl. Although he was thin and small, when he saw such a wretched boy teasing him, Xia Xi was furious.
Xia He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the level 19 trainee. “What did you say about my brother? If you dare to speak to my brother like that, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
“Ah? So what? You’re only a Level 15 warrior, and you want to challenge me?!” He didn’t tease Xia He like he teased Xia Xi since Xia He was tall and strong, Instead, he gritted his teeth and grabbed Xia He’s hand, competing with him.
The level 19 freshman also started mocking them. “I can’t believe that you dare to be so confident. There’s a difference of three levels. Don’t you know that you’ve already lost in terms of basic strength?”
Everyone knew this. Although the difference was not great, it did not mean that it did not exist. Xia Xi had also considered this. Moreover, they had just entered the Glory Training Grounds and he naturally did not want his brother to cause trouble.
“Xia He, forget it. Let’s leave.” Xia Xi pulled his brother back and prepared to leave with him.
Unexpectedly, the Level 19 scoffed and said, “If you had just admitted defeat earlier, wouldn’t everything have been fine long ago? You hired mercenaries to help you deal with the demon beasts, right? Are all the rich people nowadays so despicable?” Initially, Xia Xi wanted to just let it go in order to keep the peace, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He stopped in his tracks. “I’ll say it again. We killed it ourselves. I hope you won’t slander us!”
At that time, it was so dangerous for them to deal with the Purple-Spotted Hyena. They almost lost their lives. Without Zhang Feng’s Immortal Pills, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat it.
The beast essence that was not easy to obtain, and now they were being wrongly accused. Xia Xi finally could not hold it in anymore.
“Alright, since you want to compare, right? Then let’s have a good competition and compete openly. This way, you’ll know that we didn’t rely on luck or the power of our family to enter this Glory Training Grounds!”
Although this type of beast essence could indeed be bought with money, and the Xia family also had the money to buy beast essence for them, Xia Xi had his own pride.
“Then be prepared, don’t cry if you lose too badly later!” The leading boy smiled, then dug out his weapon and aimed it at Xia He.
The two of them came to an empty place. Xia He faced this man. This man was a little higher in level than him, but don’t forget that Xia He had exchanged for a new weapon from Zhang Feng. This weapon was stronger than his previous weapon. “Wind-Stepping Slash!” Combat energy surged up in the boy’s body, and then a faint blue light appeared, increasing in speed quickly and rushed towards Xia He.
Xia He took out his weapon and blocked it. “Tornado Blade!” It was just one swish, Xia He’s eyes focused as he spun his weapon and threw it at the other party’s sword. There was a crisp sound and the flying sword pierced into the grass. The Level 19 man’s sword flew away, and Xia He’s weapon appeared in front of his neck, pointing at his throat.
For a moment, the man was in disbelief. “How is that possible? How did your sword break mine?!”
Even if his weapon did not break, his attack was still not as powerful as Xia He’s.
How was that possible? He was level 19, but Xia He was only level 15. There should not be such a gap between them!
“How is it? Just one move and your weapon is already damaged. So, do you want to fight me empty-handed now?” Xia He retracted his weapon and thought to himself that the weapon Zhang Feng gave him had really made him proud.
The others were all dumbfounded. They had originally thought that they would mock Xia He after he lost, but now, they could not bring themselves to do so.
Even if this boy really defeated Xia He, he did not dare to be too arrogant. Although Xia He was from far away, he was still famous around here, let alone now that Xia He had
won.
All of them did not dare to make a sound and simply stayed quiet.
The person who was defeated by Xia He also put his hands down. “Forget it, I admit defeat. My name is Chi Yongqiu. Your name is Xia He, right?”
Xia He was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to admit defeat. He thought that this was an arrogant person, but since the other party was so polite, Xia He didn’t feel good to continue being arrogant. “Yes, my name is Xia He.”
Chi Yongqiu suddenly cupped his fists. “Your weapon is really powerful. Which master did you ask to forge it?”
Xia He thought of Zhang Feng in Zhiyue City and wanted to introduce some customers to him. Hence, he said, “We bought this from a shop when we were training in Zhiyue City.”
“Which shop in Zhiyue City?” Chi Yongqiu continued to ask, because there were many shops in the city.
Xia He felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “That shop is quite remote. It’s at the border of Zhiyue City, but if you have the chance to go there, you can ask around. The owner of that shop is called Zhang Feng.”
As the Glory Training Grounds was still recruiting students, many people came to Zhiyue City to train. But that did not seem to bring much business to Zhang Feng’s shop.
Luckily, Zhang Feng had left some coins for his living expenses after he used the rest to stock up. Otherwise, he would really starve to death.
