XIAO SHUXIANG'S
41 - New Enemy [Revised]
Jing Mi and Zong Ming continued to exchange attacks. The fight between the two lasted quite a long time, until finally Jing Mi started to look exhausted.
"Why don't you just give up, Brother Jing?"
"No, not yet!"
The traaang!
Jing Mi continued to launch attacks on Zong Ming even though her legs and body were already very heavy.
Zong Ming shook his head slowly, he resigned and slowed down the tempo of his attack from not wanting to hurt his new friend.
"Don't be stubborn Brother Jing, give up!"
"You're the one who gave up Brother Zong...!"
No one was willing to give up, neither Jing Mi nor Zong Ming. Their friends were seen several times exclaiming that their fight should be stopped because it had been too long, but still Jing Mi continued to give attacks to Zong Ming.
"This is enough, I have to stop Brother Jing now...!" Zong Ming who had originally loosened the attack, had now started to attack quickly.
The traaanng!
Jing Mi was interested in retreating, she had trouble withstanding the attacks from Zong Ming. "You've been holding your power all this time, Brother Ming...!"
There was a feeling of pain in Jing Mi's heart when she realized that during her fight-Zong Ming was holding back.
Though he himself felt that he was much stronger because he could make Zong Ming in a defensive position.
Realizing she was being underestimated, Jing Mi had no intention of fighting again. "It hurts... A pain that doesn't bleed,"
Just as Jing Mi was about to sheathe back her sword, suddenly a dagger flew up and hit her right arm making Jing Mi scream in pain.
AAAARGH!
Jing Mi's shout made Zong Ming, Qi Xuan, Xiao Lu and Ying Liu shocked. They then rushed up to the boy who had fallen to his knees while holding his bloody right arm.
"Brother Jing?!"
"Brother Jing!!"
Qi Xuan panicked as he saw blood coming out from between the fingers of Jing Mi's left hand, he couldn't do anything to ease the pain this fellow-schooler had suffered.
A dagger flew back and almost hit Jing Mi's neck if only Zong Ming had not been quick to fend her off.
Ying Liu instantly took a position to protect his three new friends, his eyes twisting around and trying to find the origin of the sudden attack.
"OUT KAUU!!" Zong Ming shouted, his countenance so upset that some dared to attack his friend secretly while they were training.
"SUCKER!! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIEND!!" Zong Ming clenched his left hand tightly, while his right hand firmly gripped his sword. A voice of laughter instantly rang out, making Zong Ming and the others flinch.
"Ha ha ha, so it's true. He's your friend...? You are friends with a weak child, Zong Ming!"
It was seen that the ground in front of Zong Ming was giving off a green root that was winding around and slowly growing more and more.
Zong Ming retreated backwards while taking a wary stance, the roots gathered at one point and began to form a human form.
"YOU...?!" Zong Ming gasped as the root started to become a boy around 14 years old.
This boy had a green colored outfit with a creeping white root motif, he looked at Zong Ming with a condescending look.
"Are your friends also going to the Tournament? Huh! Better get them home if they don't want to die!"
"Who is he...?" Xiao Lu was astonished by the presence of the boy who he thought had come mysteriously.
"He's a disciple of the Lotus Root Sect, Dai Chen. An arrogant and cunning child, he had always been the culprit of trouble," Ying Liu stared vexedly at Dai Chen.
"Thank you for the introduction, you said it so well."
Dai Chen was a young cultivator who came from the white stream. He has a clean face and is also handsome, has eyes that seem to be able to bewitch the girls to bend their knees to him.
It's just that Dai Chen's nature is very arrogant, it's because he has everything. He was the son of the founder of the Lotus Root Sect, at the seventh year old he was already at the second level of the Forging Qi.
Dai Chen also had a special dantian in the form of 'Green Gold Dantian'. This dantian was able to absorb the plant Qi without Dai Chen needing to meditate.
"... Hmph, it's a pity that the dantian that can help others is owned by a child who has no feelings and empathy like him..!" said Ying Liu.
Zong Ming, "What Do You Want?! Dare to Disturb My Friends!"
Dai Chen smiled wickedly as he looked at the expression on Zong Ming's face that was so furious. "If I told you I wanted your life, would you give it to me?"
Xiao Lu tightly clenched his hands together, he then shouted at Dai Chen while pointing at him.
"YOU!! We have no problem with you...! Why did you hurt my brother, HUH?! We don't even know you...!"
"I don't know you either, but I know Zong Ming very well, and whoever Zong Ming's friend is my enemy!"Dai Chen's voice sounded cold, he stared intently at Xiao Lu while giving off his murderous aura.
The aura is so broad and also dense, as if to be a marker that at the age of Dai Chen who is still 14 years old, he has done a lot of killing.
!!
Xiao Lu fell limp and his body felt heavy, he even felt tightness and his chest ached. Jing Mi and Qi Xuan felt the same way.
Seeing the state of the children in front of him made Dai Chen smile faintly, he then withdrew his murderous aura. "It's so weak...! You guys are going to enter the tournament with your abilities...? ck ck ck, you just take your life there, you better go home."
The traaang!
Ying Liu surprisingly attacked Dai Chen, but quickly a green root appeared on the sidelines of Dai Chen's foot and instantly resisted Ying Liu's attack. This green root was extremely strong and also loud, its voice was like a sword clashing against each other.
Dai Chen just crossed his hands without moving a single bit. "Hhh, attack suddenly as usual... You really have no progress."
Dai Chen moved his index finger slightly, as soon as another root appeared attacking Ying Liu and almost pierced his stomach if only Zong Ming did not quickly jump to attack Dai Chen's roots.
Slaang...!
"You want to kill Liu'Er...? Are you crazy?!" Zong Ming stared hatefully at Dai Chen, only that the person he was staring at was just putting on a cool calm face.
"If so, why?"
"DAI CHEN!!"
Zong Ming shouted, he then poured Qi into his sword and jumped at Dai Chen.
The roots of Dai Chen popping up and fending off and counterattacking Zong Ming, Ying Liu also helped Zong Ming. The two team up to defeat Dai Chen.

Xiao Shuxiang slowly opened his eyes. He then tried to get up and take a sitting position cross-legged. He rubbed the blood in his mouth, nose and ears.
"Haaah, that's amazing. The pain when replacing the dantian was unimaginable. Many people prefer to repair their dantian rather than replace it... Haah"
Xiao Shuxiang exhaled tiredly, he then recalled the new dantian he had not examined.
Immediately Xiao Shuxiang focused his mind on sensing the Qi around him, then directed the Qi to his new dantian.
The Qi started to gather, slowly filling Xiao Shuxiang's dantian. There were no more flaws or leaks in this dantian, a smile began to be drawn on Xiao Shuxiang's face. The Destroying Star has returned!
It was perfectly normal for Xiao Shuxiang to be able to absorb a lot of Qi and move up the level of practice quickly, as he remembered all the styles and sciences of silat in his first life, moreover, back then he was a genius child with a Poenix Fire Dantian.
"Although right now I don't get my Phoenix Fire dantian back, but my new dantian is also quite decent. Again much larger and certainly more powerful than the usual dantian."
Xiao Shuxiang was convinced, rising two tiers in a day was not impossible.
The Qi continued to fill Xiao Shuxiang's dantian, slowly his dantian shone and signified that he was about to rise in rank.
Merely, the next second the smile on Xiao Shuxiang's face seemed to fade away, his forehead shrinking. He could feel his dantian change.
"Don't my dantian is a Special Dantian...!"
If Xiao Shuxiang obtained his special dantian let alone his Poenix Fire Dantian, then the destruction of the Eastern Continent would not have to wait for the next season. That's what he's got in mind now.
