Chapter 63: Xiao Xue
"I go by the name Xiao Xue, young sir." The white-haired man responded, shaking my hand. "I'm from the Xiao family. May I ask which family young sir belongs to?"
"I belong to the Tang Shelter and as for family, I don't belong to any," I responded. "I just came to this shelter for a visit but I'll be taking my leave tomorrow."
"Then, is young master joining the Red Sea Tournament in five day's time?" Xiao Xue asked. "I will be quite delighted to face such a promising figure in a bout."
"Five days from now? I thought it's starting today?"
"No, today is just the pre-registration." Xiao Xue smiled.
Somehow, this guy's name reminds me of a certain character in a novel... was it a girl? Yeah, I think it's a girl... and she's engaged to a certain Liu Piao. Well, why am I remembering this?
"So the tournament will start five days from now, huh," I muttered to myself. "This caught my interest. Wu Yan, can I register for this tournament?"
"Yes, but are you sure, Yong Rui? Your cultivation is a realm lower than the average contestant." Wu Yan worriedly asked.
"Yeah, this is a good way to gauge my strength, and also gain some experience in everyone's martial arts."
"That's decided then, I'll see you in the Red Sea Tournament, Yong Rui." Xiao Xue extended his hand.
Before I could shake his hand, however, someone approached me and grabbed me by the collar. "You brat! How dare you make me kneel in front of you! You used some cheap tricks, didn't you?!" The man roared.
Ah, yes here we go again.
Not receiving a response from me, the bald fat man dropped me on the ground and pointed at me. "That's it! Brat, I invite you for a duel! Let's see if you hold true to your word!" The bald fat man challenged.
"Very well, it's not like you won't attack me if I refused, right?" I told him as I dusted my robe. "We can have it right here right now. Just don't regret your actions once this is over."
"I'm Pang Tou, a peak King Realm Cultivator." the fat bald man introduced himself. "I hope you're not 'all words', Spirit Realm Cultivator."
"Yeah yeah, let's get this over with so you can return drinking your mom's milk." I shook my hands as if shooing him away. "You're three years too soon in challenging me, you know."
"Enough talk!"
I released a minuscule amount of killing intent, but I kept it in my mind not to overdo it since I might revert to being a mindless rabid human. Accessing my Virus Qi Core and my Qi Core, I could feel my strength rising to great heights as I stood tall in front of this so-called Pang Tou.
"Raaargh! Unforgivable. I will not allow a mere brat to treat me like trash! You're courting death!" Pang Tou exclaimed.
Well, let's just say that he wasn't lying when he said he's in the Peak King Realm.
"You're already well over thirty years old, right?" I asked, further provoking the fat man. "Why do you have the cultivation of a twenty-year-old?"
"You dare!"
Like a raging bull, Pang Tou charged at me with the intent to kill. His arms were outstretched, probably preparing to grapple me and squeeze my head out of my neck. He was fully blinded by rage.
For someone who has reached the peak age for a male, he sure is short-fused.
Since I had both my Virus Qi Core and my original Qi Core activated, my power output was not inferior to that of a Peak King Realm. That's why I was able to gracefully dodge Pang Tou's attack.
"For someone in the Peak King Realm, you're pretty fast." I complimented him as I stepped backward. Just like how I expected, a fist landed on the ground where I was standing a split second ago.
His speed is really no joke!
"Are you an assassin type? What element do you cultivate?" I casually asked after taking yet another step backward.
"Quit whining. Why don't you stop running away and fight me head to head?!" Pang Tou growled as veins appeared on his bald head. "You're reminding me more and more of a cockroach."
"Whoa, isn't that offensive to the honest cockroaches out there?!" I blurted out. "Whatever that means."
