Chapter 164: Chapter 163 Appearance (Request for Subscription and Monthly Tickets) In an instant, the entire rear garden fell silent. Then it quickly became lively again, with many people involuntarily moving forward with expectant looks on their faces. "Everyone whose names are called out is among the few Inner Power Realm Martial Artists of the younger generation. This Young Master Jiangg Hee is a disciple of our Sunburst Gang’s Gang Leader. Not only does he hold a high status in the gang, but his strength is also formidable. As for Young Master Jin Gudong, he is the third son of the Nine Seals Sect’s Sect Leader and is also an Inner Power Realm Martial Artist. His strength is on par with that of our gang’s Young Master Jiangg Hee, almost always appearing in every youth martial arts competition to rival one another." Tang Zhanfei quickly explained to Bai Ziyue. Upon hearing this, Bai Ziyue nodded in understanding. He had also heard of these two individuals’ names before. Unlike others who vie for titles in the Jianghu, those who have advanced to the Inner Power Realm below the age of twenty-five are collectively honored as Young Masters. Hence, this title of ’Young Master’ is even more precious. In all of Wujiang County, seven individuals have been honored with the title of Young Master. Among them, the Sunburst Gang has three, the Nine Seals Sect has two, Sanfu Escort Agency has one, and Huaishan Martial Arts Hall has one. They are collectively known as the Seven Young Masters of Wujiang and have a resounding reputation in the Jianghu. Of course, the most renowned among them is the White-clothed Swordsman Chen Qingyun, who stands at the pinnacle alone, overshadowing the entire younger generation of Wujiang County, attracting even the interest of forces from Celestial Spirit County. Soon, a group of people walked out from the front loft. Leading the group were two individuals dressed in fine clothes, with imposing auras and handsome appearances. They stood shoulder to shoulder, neither giving way to the other - they were indeed Young Master Jiangg Hee of the Sunburst Gang and Young Master Jin Gudong of the Nine Seals Sect. Following behind them was a group of twenty or so individuals, bustling with excitement. Seeing this, even the three major courtesans sent their maids forward to invite them up to the loft to watch the martial arts competition together. "Young Master Wang Kai has arrived!" "Young Master Deng Hong has arrived!" "The White-clothed Swordsman Chen Qingyun has arrived!" Soon after, three more names were called out in succession, with a particularly high-pitched voice announcing the last name. The scene fell silent once again, and then quickly erupted into uproar. "The White-clothed Swordsman Chen Qingyun has arrived." "Since he last defeated the Seven Young Masters of Wujiang in a single stroke, it’s been some time since he showed up. I didn’t expect to be fortunate enough to see him today." "It’s been five months since his last appearance. The swordsmanship of the White-clothed Swordsman is still fresh in my memory, deeply impressive." ... Fierce discussions quickly erupted. Emotions of excitement, anticipation, and admiration were clearly evident. At this moment, Bai Ziyue also noticed that the three major courtesans on the loft stood up simultaneously and personally walked down. They were dressed elegantly and exuded exceptional beauty, resembling fairies, causing some observers to gasp for breath. "It has been a while since Young Master Qingyun visited. Qing’er has prepared some refreshments in the loft, and I would be honored if Young Master Qingyun could join me." "The swordsmanship of Young Master Qingyun still lingers in Yue’e’s memory since last time. Coincidentally, Yue’e has also been practicing swordsmanship recently. Would it be possible to invite Young Master Qingyun up to the loft for some guidance?" ... The courtesans each spoke earnestly, their attitudes toward Young Master Jiangg Hee and others noticeably different. "Since today’s martial arts competition is held at Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, I shall go up to Miss Yue’e’s loft." Chen Qingyun glanced at the courtesan Liuu Yue’e of Celestial Fragrance Pavilion and said with a faint smile. "Please!" Seeming extremely thrilled to have invited Chen Qingyun, Liuu Yue’e smiled radiantly and made a gesture of invitation. "The White-clothed Swordsman Chen Qingyun." Bai Ziyue looked at the young man and couldn’t help but admit that his demeanor was extraordinary. Suddenly, his gaze shifted to his nearby senior apprentice brother, who seemed a bit off at the moment. Following his line of sight, he saw a beautiful woman with a clean appearance standing beside Wang Kai. Although dressed in martial attire, she was clearly a married woman, which made Bai Ziyue raise an eyebrow in understanding. However, he naturally felt it inappropriate to speak about such matters. As time passed, more and more young talents gathered around. Of the Seven Young Masters of Wujiang, six had already arrived, making the martial arts competition exceptionally lively. On the stage, there was almost no pause, with someone competing at almost every moment. Some matches were purely for practice, some for fame and fortune, and others to settle personal grudges. This greatly broadened Bai Ziyue’s horizons and gave him some understanding of various martial arts techniques. Even his senior apprentice brother was invited to fight a few matches, giving Bai Ziyue a greater appreciation of Tang Zhanfei’s strength. He also learned the origins of his senior apprentice brother’s Three-Stroke Sword, finding it to be extremely fierce and exquisite, worthy of its title. "I didn’t expect to meet my old acquaintance Brother Bai here." At this moment, a voice sounded not far behind Bai Ziyue. Turning quietly, Bai Ziyue’s eyes flickered as he recognized the person. It was Li Yingru, whom he had once fought in a match in Qinghe Town. Due to the reward of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill for excellent disciples, he had once had a dispute with Li Yingru’s father, Li Zhao. Beside him were several others, judging by their attire, they were clearly elite disciples of the Sunburst Gang. "What’s the matter?" Bai Ziyue looked at him coldly and asked. "Of course there’s something. These few beside me are all among the outstanding disciples of the Sunburst Gang. Seeing Brother Bai as an outstanding disciple, their competitive spirits were stirred, and they wish to spar with Brother Bai." I wonder if Brother Bai would be willing to give me face? Of course, when I lost to Brother Bai back then, I was very unwilling. Naturally, I want to challenge you again, to test how much progress I have made over this period of time." Li Yingru’s gaze carried a smile, but a trace of coldness lingered in the depths of his eyes. At that time, losing in just one move left him with a lingering sense of unwillingness. In front of several well-acquainted friends, he felt he couldn’t lift his head, so this time, seeing Bai Ziyue, he naturally didn’t want to miss the chance to avenge his shame. Bringing along a few outstanding disciples was simply to prevent Bai Ziyue from making excuses. "Not interested, find someone else." Bai Ziyue waved his hand, not wanting to pay attention. "What? Afraid? Or do you look down on Brother Wu and Brother Jiang?" Li Yingru shouted sternly, his eyes faintly excited. As long as he could provoke Wu Junhao and Jiang Yuankun’s anger, Bai Ziyue, now without a backer, would surely have a hard time. Moreover, among their outstanding disciples, there was already a competitive atmosphere, almost like fire and water. Bai Ziyue simply ignored them and deliberately stepped away a bit. "Originally, I wasn’t interested, but the more you don’t want to compete, the more interested I become. As fellow outstanding disciples within the gang, Brother Bai, are you really going to disrespect us?" At this moment, Jiang Yuankun spoke, his tone carrying a bit more edge. "Are you sure you want to compete?" Bai Ziyue looked at him, a faint smile appearing on his face. Jiang Yuankun was taken aback, sensing some disdain, and suddenly a trace of anger emerged, "Of course." "Alright, one by one then. Brother Li, didn’t you want to avenge your previous failure? You can go first." Bai Ziyue said as he walked towards the arena stage without waiting for an answer. Coincidentally, at this time, his inexpensive senior brother had just won his match and stepped down, asking, "What? Junior brother, have you become interested as well?" With a nod, Bai Ziyue jumped onto the stage. This arena was entirely paved with hard stone slabs, about ten meters long and six meters wide, and just in the middle of the lake. Even if one was unprepared and got knocked off, they wouldn’t get hurt, making it quite suitable for martial artist duels. "Alright, let me see what you’ve got." Li Yingru snorted, leaping up to three or four meters, landing on the stage. "Brother Bai, I’m starting now." Li Yingru swung the large saber in his hand, his momentum overwhelming. Under the crush of his power, it seemed he could slice through anything in the world. Rolling Curtain Thirteen Sabers! Just like last time, Li Yingru executed the Rolling Curtain Thirteen Sabers. But this time, the Rolling Curtain Thirteen Sabers had a momentum and speed far surpassing before. In the overwhelming aura, there were even some intricacies and changes in power. It seemed to be able to be controlled at will. Rolling Curtain Thirteen Sabers Small Success! Obviously, Li Yingru’s progress was significant, not only mastering the Rolling Curtain Thirteen Sabers to Small Success but also advancing his own strength to the Peak of External Forging. This was the reason why he was confident in surpassing Bai Ziyue. Raising an eyebrow, as the saber was about to strike, Bai Ziyue extended his hand forward, conjuring illusions in the air, then lightly supporting, lifting, sticking, entwining, and finally striking! Power burst forth! Li Yingru’s entire body was like a cannonball, flying backward. With a bang, water splashed everywhere. His body flew seven or eight meters before quickly plunging into the Scenic Lake. "Such exquisite technique." The eyes of some spectators lit up, showing a hint of interest. "Celestial Entwining Hand!" Below the stage, Tang Zhanfei’s face showed a complex expression. This martial art, he had also practiced, but in terms of mastery, he was far inferior to Bai Ziyue. Bai Ziyue’s expression remained calm, then he looked down at the stage towards Jiang Yuankun and others. With his current strength, going against Li Yingru and Jiang Yuankun was somewhat of bullying them. However, since they were aggressive, he naturally wouldn’t remain indifferent. It was just as well, he also wanted to show his strength appropriately to elevate his status. If he could leave a name in the Jianghu, it would be of some benefit to him. At least, incidents like being looked down upon at the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden wouldn’t happen again. "Hmph! I’m coming!" Jiang Yuankun’s expression didn’t change as he quickly leapt onto the stage. Unlike the usual knife and sword-bearing martial artists, his weapon was a pair of warhammers. Holding them in both hands, he swung them forcefully with a roar, and then his body darted forward, the hammers whistling in the wind, seemingly capable of tearing through the air. Invincible Warhammer! This was a battlefield slaying martial art, and in his hands, its power was unparalleled.
