Chapter 32: Looking Down on People
The people at the surrounding stalls saw this, and were puzzled by Li Chengfeng challenging someone three levels higher than himself:
âThat guy named Li is only Level 11, and he dares to challenge a Level 14.â
âHeâs got some guts.â
âMore like he doesnât know his limits.â
âThe attribute enhancements from Level 14 internal skills are much higher than those of Level 11.â
âI donât know what heâs thinking.â
âProbably just itching for a fight, looking to get beaten up.â
âYeah, he doesnât even consider the situation. That guy is a disciple of Tremor Sword Manor.â
âThe Micro Tremor Sword Technique is a world-renowned first-class sword technique.â
âAnd that guy has no sect or school, he must be out of his mind.â
Li Chengfeng: ââŠâ
In the activated state of his internal skills, his spirit was greatly enhanced.
Even though the people around were speaking in low voices, he heard everything clearly.
Those words were really harsh!
Ignoring them for now, he said to Ma Jun:
âYes, I just want to spar with you.â
Ma Jun thought for a moment.
His internal skill attribute enhancements were 1.5 times that of Li Chengfengâs. Sparring with him would be like bullying someone with a higher internal skill level.
So he pointed to his junior sister, Zhu Mei, beside him:
âWhy donât you spar with my junior sister instead? Her swordsmanship is even better than mine. I wouldnât want to embarrass myself in front of Brother Li.â
Although Ma Junâs words were humble, most people knew he was dismissing Li Chengfeng due to his lower internal skill level, fearing gossip.
So he pushed him towards a female disciple.
Li Chengfeng had initially wanted to spar with Ma Jun.
He directly ignored the Level 13 Zhu Mei.
In Zhu Meiâs eyes, this meant that Li Chengfeng looked down on her as a woman.
He would rather challenge the Level 14 Ma Jun than challenge her.
Naturally, this made her feel somewhat displeased. With a rather haughty expression, she said:
âI am also two levels higher than you. To avoid bullying you, I will tie one hand and spar with you single-handedly.â
Sparring single-handedly.
Wasnât this an insult?
A womanâs basic attributes were already not as strong as a manâs.
Moreover, in terms of physical endurance and other aspects, women were generally weaker than men.
Having a higher internal skill level actually made it fair.
There was no need to tie a hand.
The people around couldnât help but secretly mock:
âFighting a woman, and she has to use one hand, huhâŠâ
âBut with the power of the Micro Tremor Sword Technique, Heroine Zhu can easily handle that sectless guy even with one hand.â
Li Chengfeng felt even more displeased.
However, he had a decent temper and simply said:
âNo! The level of martial arts isnât solely dependent on internal skills. Brother Ma, letâs spar instead.â
âTsk!â
Ma Jun was somewhat troubled and had to speak frankly:
âBrother Li, itâs not that I donât want to spar with you. The truth is, your internal skill level is much lower than mine, and you donât belong to any sect or have any decent martial techniques. Do we really need to compare our strengths?â
Although Ma Junâs words were polite, every sentence conveyed his disdain for Li Chengfeng.
The others who heard this all agreed:
âIndeed, anyone with a bit of sense would know the outcome is already decided.â
âThis guy must have a really hard head, insisting on challenging someone stronger without having the skills to back it up.â
Zhu Mei felt even more displeased after being rejected by Li Chengfeng.
She stepped forward and raised her treasured sword:
âWhat, do you look down on me because Iâm a woman? Do you believe I can defeat you within ten moves and show you the power of our Tremor Sword Manorâs Micro-Tremor Sword Technique?â
Li Chengfengâs patience had its limits.
At this point, he couldnât hold back and gave her a cold glance:
âI donât believe it!â
Zhu Mei was instantly both embarrassed and angry:
âAlright, you⊠you dare to look down on me?â
Wasnât this the pot calling the kettle black?
Who looked down on whom first?
Li Chengfeng sneered:
âItâs not that I look down on you, but that you look down on me. Whatâs so great about Level 13 or 14? Both of you come at me together.â
Ma Junâs face turned cold:
âSuch arrogant words!â
Li Chengfeng had already pricked his pride.
He could no longer be polite to Li Chengfeng.
The surrounding audience was shocked:
âIs that guy crazy?â
âHe canât even beat one, and he wants to challenge two?â
âHas he never been beaten up before? Does he want to get a good beating today?â
âArrogant, too arrogant. No one has ever challenged the Micro Tremor Sword Technique like this.â
Li Chengfeng released the Broken Jade Sword from his wristband.
He moved to an open area, holding his sword horizontally and beckoned to Ma Jun and Zhu Mei with his finger.
His gaze was cold, and his demeanor was imposing:
âCome, both of you, letâs see how many moves it takes to end this fight.â
Ma Jun, not losing in momentum, said:
âAlright, as you wish.â
âLet me show you the power of our sectâs Micro-Tremor Sword Technique!â
Zhu Mei finished speaking, drew her sword,
And together with Ma Jun, charged towards Li Chengfeng.
With his basic attributes added, Ma Junâs speed reached 197.
With her basic attributes added, Zhu Meiâs speed reached 173.
The audience exclaimed:
âSo fast.â
Especially some of the newcomers present.
The newcomers were directly shocked:
âWhoa!â
Their levels were not high, and their mental attributes were also not high.
In their eyes, Ma Jun and Zhu Mei were as swift as lightning.
However, to Li Chengfeng, who had activated his internal skills with the âSpiral Opposing Flow Qi Technique,â it was just so-so.
Even though he was only Level 11, with his basic attributes added, his visual and auditory perception, as well as his neural reflex speed, had all reached 200 points.
