Chapter 601: Human Weapon
Xiao Shun’s display of power just now caught the attention of some big shots, making it quite extraordinary.
“Master, what exactly happened just now?” asked the bewildered apprentice sitting beside Qin Zhenhuan.
The strength of Ye Xun from the Three Leaves Martial Arts School was well-known and undeniable. Yet, with just one encounter, he was knocked off the stage by the relatively unknown Xiao Shun. It was truly hard to accept.
“This kid is amazing!” Qin Zhenhuan shook his head, his tone filled with astonishment. He was one of the few present who could clearly see what had happened.
Immediately, the apprentice asked again, “Master, is Senior Brother his match?”
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhuan smiled helplessly. Even Lu Qian, the eldest apprentice who could send his own Storm Spear flying, was far from Xiao Shun’s level.
Although the master didn’t respond, the apprentice could already discern something from the expression on his face. With wide eyes filled with astonishment, he turned to look at Xiao Shun on the stage.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaobin rushed to the bottom of the stage and shouted angrily at the calm Xiao Shun, “Bastard! You must have used some deceitful trick; otherwise, Mr. Ye wouldn’t have been knocked off the stage so quickly!”
These words immediately aroused suspicion in the minds of many. Ye Xun was undoubtedly powerful, being a senior member of the Northleap Martial Arts Association and the deputy head of the prestigious martial arts school. So, how could this young man in his twenties defeat him without even making a move?
Indeed, when Xiao Shun released his energy shield just now, ordinary people couldn’t see it clearly. In their eyes, it seemed like he hadn’t made a move.
Looking at Zhou Xiaobin, who was filled with righteous indignation, Xiao Shun raised an eyebrow, smiling ambiguously.
“Oh? Mr. Zhou seems to doubt my strength?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobin snorted disdainfully, “Huh, with your mediocre skills, can you be a match for Mr. Ye?”
Xiao Shun laughed and shook his head. “If Mr. Zhou doesn’t believe it, you can come up on stage and test me. My strength will be revealed there.”
“Uh…” Zhou Xiaobin was taken aback. He was a lazy businessman who rarely got involved in fights; he left that to his subordinates. He only took credit for the results.
Facing Xiao Shun’s provocation, he found himself in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Ye Xun, standing beside Zhou Xiaobin, regained his composure. He sincerely admitted, “Enough, Xiaobin. I did indeed lose.”
“Mr. Ye?” Zhou Xiaobin was greatly surprised.
Ye Xun shook his head and looked at him with a touch of desolation. “Let’s go, don’t embarrass me any further.”
With a sigh, he turned and left. After more than thirty years of fame, today was the first time he had been defeated so thoroughly, without any chance to fight back.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobin glanced at Xiao Shun with a cold sweat, and any previous resentment in his heart evaporated at this moment.
Because he knew that this was not someone he could afford to provoke!
Just as the venue fell into silence due to Ye Xun’s words, a figure proudly appeared on the stage.
Steadying his posture, Luo Qian bowed and said, “North Club, Luo Qian also came to learn!”
Xiao Shun smiled slightly and asked him, “Have you paid the money?”
Lu Qian never expected that the first sentence from the other party would be a question like this, which made his hard-won determination waver and he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“Do you only care about money?”
“Of course not.”
Xiao Shun replied seriously, “In my eyes, I only see the Northleap disaster victims who are in dire straits. Paying money is just to prevent someone from losing and getting angry.”
Immediately, the audience below started buzzing with comments.
“This kid has no shame!”
“Damn it, I’m about to throw up.”
“I can clearly see that he’s just greedy for money, but he’s trying to make it sound noble!”
…
Listening to the comments about Xiao Shun coming from nearby, Cao Wanqing agreed wholeheartedly.
She was also shocked by Xiao Shun’s performance just now, but instead of being impressed, she became extremely displeased, feeling that this guy had no trace of a martial arts master’s demeanor!
“Do you use weapons?”
On the stage, Lu Qianyi held a long spear and glanced at Xiao Shun indifferently.
Xiao Shun grinned.
“No need, I am my own weapon.”
“In that case, I apologize!”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Qianyi stopped speaking and shook his long spear. The spearhead shot out like a venomous snake, thrusting toward Xiao Shun.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun nodded in admiration.
This senior disciple of the North Club still had some skills. Just this one spear was enough to be proud of!
However, it was still far from enough to deal with him.
Immediately, Xiao Shun suddenly extended his right hand and slapped down towards the long spear.
Lu Qianyi’s eyelids twitched, involuntarily recalling a scene that had happened not long ago in the audience below.
He only remembered that Xiao Shun had used this method to contend with Master’s Storm Spear, and from Master’s expression at the time, one could tell the power of that palm!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
With this thought, Lu Qianyi retracted his long spear, avoiding Xiao Shun’s thunderous palm, then swung the spear forcefully, sweeping it towards his opponent’s side.
“Buzz!”
This strike was powerful and forceful, and the spearhead friction against the air produced a faint rumbling sound.
Xiao Shun, however, had a face full of indifference!
Faced with Lu Qianyi’s unstoppable spear, he didn’t dodge or avoid it. Immediately, he pointed two fingers together and pointed them at the spearhead.
“Ding!”
The spearhead collided with the fingertip, creating a sharp metallic sound that made everyone present stare in astonishment.
It seemed that Xiao Shun’s nickname as a human weapon was not just self-proclaimed!
Lu Qianyi also stared in amazement at Xiao Shun. His spear technique was already impeccable, and even some people’s energy shields could be easily broken.
But what was going on with this Xiao Shun?
He could contend with his full-strength strike with just a single finger?
Suddenly, his question turned into three question marks.
Soon, his question marks turned into four!
In an instant, Lu Qianyi felt a tremendous force surging into his body through the cold spear shaft.
This force was so violent that as soon as it touched him, he felt a tingling sensation in his hand, almost unable to hold onto the spear.
Before he had time to attend to the intense pain in his hand, a greater change occurred within Lu Qianyi’s body. The immense force that passed through him surged through his limbs and hundred meridians, causing internal injuries in no time.
Seeing his face alternating between pale and green, Xiao Shun said calmly, “That’s enough, step down!”
As soon as his words fell, without any visible action from him, Lu Qianyi was actually sent flying and landed below the arena!
