Chapter 119: Three-Year-Old Cries as She Faces a Seven-Year-Old Opponent, Xi Xi is Like a Little Bul

Chapter 119: Three-Year-Old Cries as She Faces a Seven-Year-Old Opponent, Xi Xi is Like a Little Bull Demon

The gentle spring breeze caresses the willows, and the fine misty rain patters.

Droplets fall onto the wooden platform, creating a rustling sound.

As the names of the defenders are announced by Zhang Qingzheng, the parents observing this True Transmission exam can't help but gasp.

The first round of the exam doesn't involve Insight Divination, emphasizing fairness above all else.

Although all the children are Top Spiritual Children, there are still differences in their abilities.

The height of the Violet Aura, as predicted by Insight Divination, serves as the standard for judging their innate talents. Once the talents are assessed, it will undoubtedly affect the children's temperament and fighting spirit.

Therefore, the Divine Sect has placed this talent assessment, which is already difficult to change, as the second round.

"Li Nuoxi, that three-year-old Spirit Child... is actually a defender in the first round?"

"What luck! She's probably going to get beaten up, lose, and be sent off the stage to go home and drink milk!"

"Yeah, a three-year-old defender, compared to Qin Fenghuo of the Qin family, Hai Chaosheng of the Hai family, Gongyang Xiu of the Gongyang family, and even Huang Sixiang from Xianghuan City, who is known for his innate Divine Strength, is just too far behind."

"Except for Huang Sixiang, the other three seem to be from the five great clans in the capital city. They have excellent family backgrounds and deep roots. Most importantly, their ages are far beyond three years old. I think Gongyang Xiu is the youngest at... five years old?"

...

Many voices emerge from the areas where the various clans are seated.

Is there still any suspense?

Of course, they're going to pick on the weakest one.

Forget about not wanting to lose face by bullying a three-year-old. When it comes to vying for the True Transmission position, who cares about face? Becoming a True Transmission disciple means receiving the full support of the Divine Sect's branch, gaining access to countless resources.

A little loss of face is insignificant compared to that. Cultivation requires competition, and three-year-old Li Nuoxi is here to compete for the True Transmission position.

Since she dares to stand here, she must be prepared for defeat.

The other Spiritual Children are also quick-witted, their eyes flashing. Five of them become defenders, while the remaining ten... are challengers.

Xi Xi's origami has the word "defend" written on it, indicating that she needs to defend.

For Xi Xi, whether defending or challenging, doesn't she have to fight a match?

Xi Xi is so excited, clenching her chubby fists.

It's time to fight! After two and a half years of hard cultivation, the Great Xi Xi is finally making her debut!

Below, Zhang Ya sees that Xi Xi is the first defender, and her eyes darken as she tightly grips Li Che's arm.

"Husband, why is Xi Xi the first defender... she's only three years old... isn't she going to be ganged up on?"

Zhang Ya almost tears up, thinking of her poor Xi Xi.

Old Chen feels a bit deflated and slumps in his chair, also feeling sorry for Xi Xi.

Mu Po sighs.

Li Che quickly comforts his wife, "You have to believe in Xi Xi... she's very capable."

Li Che can't help but smile wryly, and Old Chen... he knows Xi Xi's Bone Tempering level, yet he also seems to have no hope for her.

Such deep-rooted prejudice! Who says a three-year-old is only good for getting beaten up?

He has taught Xi Xi many things, and this little girl has high talent, coupled with his nurturing...

He has great confidence in Xi Xi.

Li Che looks up at the wooden platform, through the light spring rain.

However, even Li Che can't help but feel a bit apprehensive, because... this is Xi Xi's first battle since her birth.

Even though he has prepared Xi Xi thoroughly...

It's impossible for the parents not to feel the pressure when a three-year-old cutie stands as a defender.

...

...

Zhang Qingzheng's face, as stern as a bitter lotus, turns serious as he finishes reciting the names of the defending Spiritual Children. He then flicks his sleeves and rises, and a gust of fresh air surges.

The five defending Spiritual Children are enveloped and lifted, floating like they're riding on clouds and mist, accompanied by the children's exclamations, and they land on the five arenas.

Xi Xi, tiny as she is, stands on the fifth arena, blinking her lively big eyes and curiously looking around, showing no signs of stage fright or fear.

The surroundings quiet down, and everyone focuses on the figures on the arenas.

Many eyes show pity as they look at the tiny three-year-old girl standing on the arena, looking pitiful.

Everyone can guess what this little girl is about to face.

"If a defender loses, the challenger wins, and the challenger then becomes the defender. The one who stands on the arena in the end will receive the Top Ranking."

"So, if you want to become a True Transmission disciple of the Divine Sect, use all your abilities and stand until the very end!"

Zhang Qingzheng, with his eyes lowered, speaks softly, his scholar's robe fluttering.

He has tried his best to make the children smile, striving to make his stern face less intimidating.

"Now, does anyone have any questions?"

After his words, the arenas fall silent.

Satisfied, he prepares to officially announce the start of the arena battles.

However, on the fifth arena, Xi Xi raises her hand high, worried that Zhang Qingzheng might not see her, and jumps up and down in place.

"Me, me, Grandpa, I have a question!"

Xi Xi asks in a high-pitched, childish voice.

Many eyes are immediately drawn to her.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingzheng tugs at the corners of his sunken mouth and smiles, "Li Nuoxi, what's your question?"

"Is there any restriction, like not being able to use hidden weapons or mechanisms?" Xi Xi asked, blinking her big, expectant eyes.

Zhang Qingzheng was momentarily stunned.

This three-year-old girl had thought it through, considering these factors.

"There are no restrictions. Even if you use Divine Armament, it's allowed as long as you can wield it..." Zhang Qingzheng's bitter expression turned into a smile, "With me here, you can go all out, as long as you strive for victory."

What level are these children at?

He, a Divine Physiognomist Cultivator, couldn't possibly be unable to control these children, whose combined age was still less than his.

"Okay! Xi Xi understands! Thank you, Grandpa!" Xi Xi replied politely.

This girl was fearless, with great courage, and her eyes shone with a fiery spirit.

Zhang Qingzheng's heart blossomed with happiness at Xi Xi's attitude.

Look at that sweet mouth; who would dare say that Zhang Qingzheng had a sour face that scared people away?

...

...

On the wooden platform, Li Qingshan, who had been hunched over and dozing off in his chair, suddenly became alert.

He straightened his back, leaning forward, his gaze fixed on the combat on the wooden platform.

Sect Master Nan Lihuo smiled, "This girl is lively and has great courage. Moreover, her martial arts cultivation is not bad, having mastered Bone Tempering..."

"Bone Tempering at three years old. Although her physical functions are inferior to a seven-year-old Spirit Child by a significant margin, and her Strength is at least three-tenths weaker, she's not entirely without competitiveness."

"A promising seedling indeed."

Sect Master Nan Lihuo stroked his beard and smiled, quite impressed.

It's a pity that if she had grown one more year, to four years old, and then participated in the sect's examination, it would have been the most secure option, and perhaps the opportunity would have been immense. But now, at three years old...

She might have to cry a river.

"This girl, is she the one you rescued from Flying Thunder City? It's strange that the Corpse Deity Sect could have overlooked such a genius."

Sect Master Nan Lihuo praised.

Li Qingshan, on the other hand, showed his teeth. When he heard Xi Xi questioning Zhang Qingzheng, he had already felt something amiss.

It's too similar to Li Che!

When asking questions, he's elegant and amicable, but once he takes action, he pulls out those grand mechanisms.

Li Che's Bull Demon identity and his mastery over various mechanisms make his weapons absolutely formidable. Initially, Li Che's ability to roam freely in Flying Thunder City and even counter-kill the city's aristocratic Divine Essence Cultivators relied heavily on these mechanisms.

Now, with Xi Xi's inquiry, his heart must be itching to set off fireworks.

Could Xi Xi not have any weapons by her side?

With Li Che's doting nature towards his daughter, how could he not provide her with mechanisms?

There must be countless hidden weapons and mechanisms given to her, and they might even be poisoned!

Bull Demon is capable of such deeds!

"Whoever dares to underestimate this little girl will suffer a great loss. Ask Elder Zhang to focus his attention; otherwise, he might end up in a mess, creating a laughingstock."

Li Qingshan chuckled, already planning to enjoy the spectacle.

"Oh? Could this little girl have mastered Divine Armament? But even with Divine Armament... at this age, she can't unleash its power." Sect Master Nan Lihuo smiled.

Divine Armament?

These little brats understand nothing about Divine Armament...

At this age, hidden weapons are more fun than Divine Armament.

Li Qingshan, however, mysteriously shook his head.

This act of keeping secrets piqued the curiosity of the several Elders on the high platform.

Elder Zhu Hongdou glanced at Li Qingshan, her gaze falling on the tiny Li Nuoxi. A hint of curiosity appeared on her face.

Her disciples were mostly female, so she paid extra attention to them.

...

...

Xi Xi stood on her own platform, raising her head high.

Finally, she could fight. Back at Xu Family Divine Cultivation Institution, she had suppressed all enemies.

At that time, she looked down upon everyone, but after being brought home, she lost that advantage. She was forced to practice martial arts and cultivate daily, with no chance to rule over the world.

It didn't matter; it was just a little setback.

Now, Xi Xi had stood up again, ready to fight.

Xi Xi, with her hands on her waist and her small chest puffed out, smiled in the spring breeze.

Among the fifteen Three-Year-Old Spiritual Children, five were defending their platforms, and the remaining ten were challengers. Ideally, each platform could be challenged twice, but it was also possible that all challengers might focus on a single platform... one couldn't be sure.

Due to the fear of the defending challengers' strength, they specifically targeted the easier opponents.

Fortunately, there was a half-hour break after each challenge to adjust their breaths.

When Zhang Qingzheng announced the start of the challenges, the ten challenging Three-Year-Old Spiritual Children didn't move. They looked at each other, as if deliberating something.

Among the five platforms, Li Nuoxi was undoubtedly the best target.

Coming from a humble background, being young, and a girl...

These three flaws made them eager to challenge her. But who would be the first to challenge Li Nuoxi?

This was a matter worth considering.

After all, everyone was a seven-year-old big kid, and challenging a three-year-old girl always felt a bit awkward.

"I'll go first!"

Liu Changqing, the top-grade Spirit Infant from Jin Guang City, remained unmoved, his eyes narrowed, and he took the lead by stepping forward.

"I challenge Li Nuoxi!"

Liu Changqing had fair skin and a plump physique, clearly a result of his successful cultivation. At this moment, he lowered his voice, imitating the tone of an adult.

Zhang Qingzheng glanced at him and nodded, "Okay."

The top-grade Spirit Infants from Jin Guang City didn't compete with Liu Changqing.

For example, the top-grade Spirit Infants from the Shangguan and Gong families didn't make a move. These two top-five aristocratic families' Spirit Infants allowed Liu Changqing, the top-grade Spirit Infant from East Ring City, to seize the initiative.

Liu Changqing, with his crown and green robe, raised his head and took a running start, leaping onto the wooden platform.

On the other four platforms, Qin Fenghuo, Hai Chaosheng, Gongyang Xiu, and Huang Sixiang watched curiously. Since no one challenged them, they were curious to observe the battle on Li Nuoxi's platform.

"That little girl is definitely going to lose and cry. She's only three years old... still in diapers and drinking milk. How dare she compete with us?"

Qin Fenghuo crossed his arms and smiled.

Hai Chaosheng, the quiet old ancestor of the Hai family, looked on with a maturity beyond his years.

Huang Sixiang, with his bronze skin and flowing blood, crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

Li Nuoxi, not being a top-grade Spirit Infant from Jin Guang City, didn't receive any attention.

Under the gaze of thousands, Liu Changqing stepped onto the platform.

Liu Changqing, seven years old with a slender build, stood on the platform, looking down at Li Nuoxi, who barely reached his waist. A faint smile curved his lips.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but looking at the tiny person before him, he couldn't help but feel...

If he were to stretch out his hand, blocking this little one's head, even if she flailed her fists and feet, would she even reach his body? There was no challenge at all.

This platform, he had to occupy it first!

"Little girl, admit defeat and go home to drink milk!"

Liu Changqing raised his chin, crossed his arms, and spoke.

Xi Xi narrowed her eyes and stomped her foot, "How dare you!"

Liu Changqing was startled.

But he discovered that the little one before him leaned forward, and the wooden platform beneath her trembled violently, accompanied by a loud bang.

Xi Xi's body shot forward with a speed so fast it seemed like a black line!

So fast!

Liu Changqing's hairs stood on end, and his legs quickly assumed a Horse Stance, roaring. His black hair flew, and within his body, blood and energy surged, his sinews and bones cracking!

The nine large muscles in his body twitched, and from within his bones, a Tiger Roar resounded!

Liu Changqing clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a fierce glint.

He, Liu Changqing, had to reach the end, becoming a true disciple of the Divine Sect. His family had placed too many hopes on him.

"Little one, get off the platform!"

"This platform belongs to me!"

Liu Changqing thought of the responsibilities he had to shoulder at such a young age, and his eyes turned slightly red.

He raised his fist, his divine essence surging, and aimed at the little girl who had sneaked up to his waist. With a twist of his waist, he slammed his fist down hard!

This fist, if it landed, with his Bone Tempering Realm strength and the power of his well-cultivated nature, would be enough to knock this little girl unconscious!

Liu Changqing didn't hold back, and his eyes even held a hint of excitement!

Suddenly, a chubby little hand clenched into a fist, and Xi Xi invaded Liu Changqing's waist.

"This position, my father said, is where the enemy can't easily exert strength, but where my strength can be fully utilized!"

"With my perfection, I can impact the opponent's flaws, and this is the path of combat my father taught me!"

Bang!

The two fists collided!

Huh?!

Liu Changqing was stunned. On that chubby little fist, such terrifying power was contained.

An inner strength even more terrifying than his Bone Tempering Realm's strength, mixed with divine essence, surged.

He had intended to twist his waist to exert strength, but before he could fully do so, he was shocked by the opponent's even more powerful strength.

Instantly, he was overwhelmed.

His fist was deflected, and that little fist fiercely struck his waist and abdomen...

Liu Changqing felt his kidneys would be beaten to a pulp!

The intense pain instantly spread like a spider web, covering his entire brain.

"Hey-ha!"

After Xi Xi's fist, she immediately followed up with a flying kick, solidly kicking Liu Changqing's chest.

Liu Changqing, his face turning deathly pale, couldn't bear the pain.

He was kicked flying off the platform, landing on it with a thud.

"Waaah... my waist..."

"Mom... waaah... Mom..."

Liu Changqing lay on the ground, curled up, wailing loudly, his snot and tears falling together, instantly turning him into a little kitten.

Amidst the surrounding platforms, the atmosphere was already in an uproar, with excitement reaching the heavens!

The impact... was incredibly powerful!

That punch, that flying kick, who would've thought this was a three-year-old girl?!

What can a three-year-old do? An age where they can't even control their bladder!

This girl... has actually achieved Bone Tempering Mastery?!

Many with keen eyes witnessed this, and as Xi Xi unleashed her Sinew Strength, each punch and kick made Liu Changqing cry.

Everyone sensed Xi Xi's Qi burst in intensity.

"A three-year-old... Bone Tempering Mastery..."

On the neighboring platform.

Faces changed in unison.

Huang Sixiang crossed his arms, his eyes suddenly widening, the glint in his eyes was sharp, and his bronze skin seemed to shimmer with flowing light.

This little one... is so strong?!

Qin Fenghuo, who had been laughing at her earlier, suddenly closed his mouth, his face showing a hint of astonishment. At seven years old, he had only just achieved Bone Tempering Mastery himself.

No, this brat... what kind of demon is she?!

...

...

On the high platform.

Li Qingshan laughed heartily, his whole body almost laughing out of breath.

Good one, little stinker Xi!

Ambush, breath control, sudden outburst, relentless pursuit and attack...

If she pulls out a cute Ox Demon mask from her pocket, it's practically a copy of the Ox Demon!

Little Ox Demon!

No wonder they're father and daughter.

This girl... is like the Ox Demon!

Nan Lihuo, the Divine Sect's leader, raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes, truly astonished.

"Interesting, at such a young age, her thoughts are so intricate, her combat methods... filled with spiritual energy."

Nan Lihuo praised.

Not bad, very impressive.

Beside him, Zhu Hongdou's eyes had already lit up, and in her heart, she felt the urge to take Xi Xi under her wing.

Li Qingshan rolled his eyes, his combat methods filled with spiritual energy...

Only Xi Xi displayed such methods, if it were the Ox Demon, the evaluation would be extremely vicious, cunning, and shameless!

...

"How is this possible? That three-year-old brat actually..."

"So fierce, so intense! This Qi and strength... Bone Tempering Mastery?"

"Bone Tempering Mastery at three? I was still peeing at three!"

"The gap between people, can it really be so big?!"

The surrounding parents watching from the wooden platforms gasped in unison, many who came for the spectacle were stunned.

Just looking at it made them wince, Xi Xi's extremely devious punch hitting Liu Changqing's waist and abdomen, though not fatal, was... highly insulting!

The kidneys were right there, what if something went wrong...

The little boy's future... might truly be ruined.

"Did Liu Changqing go easy on her?" Many spiritual children from East Ring City were dumbfounded.

They were merely Upper and Middle-grade spiritual children, and under Liu Changqing's oppression, they couldn't even catch their breath.

But who could've imagined that Liu Changqing, the undefeated seven-year-old in East Ring City, would actually be defeated by a three-year-old brat in the first round?!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhang Qingzheng also froze for a moment, then his bitter lotus-like face showed a genuine smile, though it was hard to tell.

Bone Tempering Mastery at three, not bad, very impressive potential.

Though young, her attacks carry a hint of maturity.

Firstly, the attack positions were extremely devious and treacherous, and the sudden Bone Tempering Mastery made it hard for her opponents to prepare, with a well-designed, interconnected strategy, showcasing a high combat awareness.

Her combat style, though inexperienced, had a touch of agility and cunning!

Very well!

As for the kidney attack, what ill intentions could a child have?

Innocent and pure, her strikes were not intentional.

Zhang Qingzheng's bitter face couldn't help but smile, and he quickly rushed to the platform.

If he didn't show up, Xi Xi, who wasn't sure if the match had ended, might have continued to pummel the whimpering Liu Changqing on the ground...

"Daddy said, if the referee doesn't stop the match, you must keep attacking, fight until the referee calls for a stop, or else you might be ambushed!"

Xi Xi was serious.

Tactically, she could look down on her opponents, but when attacking, she must not hold back!

Daddy said, in this world, one must be serious, be cautious, while ambushing opponents, also be prepared for sudden counterattacks and ambushes!

Fighting is a serious matter, after all, if you're not serious, you'll get beaten up.

Xi Xi didn't want to get beaten up!

In this world, only Daddy could beat her up!

"Alright, that's enough."

"He conceded."

"In this challenge, Liu Changqing failed to conquer the platform, Li Nuoxi successfully defended her position."

Zhang Qingzheng held down Li Nuoxi's head as she charged forward, and with a bent finger, he unleashed a Divine Essence Light that landed on Liu Changqing's body, making him cry in pain, rolling on the ground.

Xi Xi, feeling unsatisfied, retracted her fist and smoothed her messy, frizzy bangs.

Then, with her hands on her hips, she shook her head.

"Is that all?"

"A seven-year-old... isn't that impressive!"

"Far inferior to Bi Li."
