Yun Sheng closely observed the female warriors beside her. She hadn’t had the chance to take a closer look at them on the training ground, and now that she did, she realized that Wuxuan Wuji Hall indeed deserved its reputation as the top Martial Arts Hall in Great Zhou. On the Wuji Continent, since there are things like soul stones and Magical Beast Blood that can strengthen Magic Power and transform physiques, the differences between male and female Mages and Martial Artists are not significant. Even though women naturally possess less strength than men, with the right choice of Magical Beast Blood and Elixirs for enhancements, women can achieve physiques and strength that are no less than those of men. Therefore, whether they are Mages or Martial Artists, there is no shortage of formidable female figures, and even within the Great Zhou Army, there are some female commanders. As such, Wuxuan Wuji Hall, being the top Martial Arts Hall in Great Zhou, does not exhibit much discrimination in the selection of male and female warriors. They treat all candidates equally, and nearly one-third of the trainees they recruit each year are women. These female warriors are taught various Combat Skills suitable for their physiques, maximizing their advantages in the Martial Arts Hall. The group of female warriors who blocked Yun Sheng at her dormitory door were all around thirteen or fourteen years of age, tall and slender, and in no way inferior to the advanced Yun Sheng. Girls on the Wuji Continent mature early, and being Martial Artists who practice martial arts for physical strength, they all look like adults. A dozen of them standing together formed a wall of people, with an imposing presence enough to scare an average Mage half to death. Unfortunately for them, Yun Sheng was not an average Mage. Yun Sheng was ostracized by the group of girls partly because of her Mage status, and partly because of Cheng Bai. Cheng Bai from the Inner Hall, a brotherly figure known for his modesty and handsome looks, always offered warm greetings to these female warriors. His popularity was very high. However, this cunning female Mage, using despicable magic and potions, forced Brother Cheng Bai into an embarrassing situation, nearly causing him harm, and undoubtedly infuriating Cheng Bai’s legion of female fans. Mages are known on the continent for their frail bodies, and everyone also knows that Yun Sheng and others had Magic Locks applied to them by Elder Liu at the Internal Affairs Hall, rendering their Magic Wands useless. Therefore, after a discussion among the girls, they felt even more confident without fear. They thought with only a little intimidation, the new Mage would obediently roll out, yet this pretty-faced female Mage was neither angry nor flustered, instead she remained eerily calm. She raised her eyebrows, "I suggest you step aside. I am not known for having a good temper, and even less so for my patience." "Go back to the Royal Magic Academy. The Martial Arts Hall is not a place for people like you," the girls stepped forward, attempting to drive Yun Sheng away. But as they encountered Yun Sheng’s cold gaze, they felt as if they couldn’t move their feet. This Mage seemed different from the average Mage; her appearance was somewhat terrifying. One of the female warriors, who seemed to be the leader, gave Yun Sheng a glance and said, "You can stay if you want, but you must pass the assessment of the Martial Arts Hall. You should know, all of us here have come through great difficulties to get in. Can you squat in the Weighted Horse Stance for an hour? Or can you lift a hundred pounds heavy Stone Lion? Or can you kill a third or fourth rank starving Demon Beast with your bare hands?" The other female warriors echoed her sentiment. These were the challenges that each one of them had to face during their initial assessments, all of which were very difficult to accomplish. Among the countless Da Zhou Martial Artists, only two in a hundred can successfully pass these assessments. Although they were dressed in red robes, they possessed a boldness and courage that is not inferior to men. They would never allow these useless Mages to enter their sacred Martial Arts Hall. "Hundreds of jin heavy, the stone lion, right? Alright, I will accept your challenge. If I lift the stone lion, and I lose, I will leave the Martial Arts Hall; if I win, this dormitory is mine alone," Yun Sheng was not intimidated, she issued a challenge. Three Martial Arts Hall trainees shared one dorm room, and she wasn’t interested in living with these female warriors who were still wet behind the ears. "Compete with me, shorty? Why would you choose me? I suggest you pick someone else. Do you know who I am? I am Luo Qing, ranked twenty-first among the female warriors of the Outer Pavilion," the female warrior burst into loud laughter as if she had heard the joke of the century. The other female warriors around her also giggled nonstop. Although the strength difference between male and female warriors is not significant, within Wuxuan Wuji Hall, the top ten Combat Skills are all yang and hard-type skills that only men can practice, hence the Martial Artists in the Inner and Outer Pavilions generally have a slight edge over the female warriors. Yun Sheng’s opponent, the female warrior Luo Qing, was much taller than the average woman, around one meter and seventy centimeters, with muscles that could rival those of a fitness model. Her first impression of Luo Qing was that she was very similar to Mu Nanyan of Huangteng, but Mu Nanyan is a Mage, whereas Luo Qing is a full-fledged Martial Artist. Luo Qing wasn’t bragging; she was recognized as the strongest among the female warriors of the Outer Pavilion. She had the most robust fighting spirit and the highest overall power ranking, with her strength edging close to Martial Venerate. There was wild speculation within the Outer Pavilion that Luo Qing was about to break through to Martial Venerate. Still, for some unknown reason, her progress had been stalled, and she had not made a breakthrough. Luo Qing wasn’t often on the training ground during the day. When she returned to the dormitory, she heard that an exchange student had humiliated Brother Cheng Bai publicly and had brazenly moved into the dorms. Since Luo Qing had received pointers from Cheng Bai in her early years, she held great respect for him. Someone dared to insult Brother Cheng Bai! Luo Qing was instantly infuriated and, without a second word, brought a dozen people to corner the exchange student. Her original intention was merely to scare Yun Sheng off, to have her roll out of the Martial Arts Hall obediently, but it turns out they misjudged this time. This female Mage, even without her Magic Wand and Magic Power, was tough to crack. Rank twenty-one in the Outer Pavilion? It seems like picking a decent opponent quite conveniently, good. Let’s take this opportunity to test Bobbie’s Combined Battle Skill Two, Yun Sheng pondered silently in her heart. "No need to change, I’ve chosen you. The reason is simple: because you’re the strongest among them. I, only compete with the strongest!" Yun Sheng said with a dangerous glint in her black eyes, her smile neither overt nor hidden. Luo Qing’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, as if someone had suddenly stuffed an egg in her mouth. This female Mage, she’s too arrogant! Without teaching her a lesson, she really won’t understand why the flowers are so red! "Alright, what arrogance! I’ve somewhat changed my opinion of you. Nevertheless, we still have to compete. Let’s settle it at the training ground. The Outer Pavilion’s ground is unavailable today, so let’s go to the Inner Hall and borrow one," Luo Qing, bold and straightforward herself, was now very curious to see how this seemingly delicately built female Mage could surpass her in Qi Power.
