Zero To Hero In The Martial Arts Library Novel - Chapter 107

‘With this armor and the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, I reckon King El won’t be able to break through my defense. Next, it’s time to raise my combat strength.

‘I’ve already comprehended the true meaning of the martial arts of Xiantian sixth grade. As long as my spiritual energy cultivation reaches that level, I can break through to Xiantian sixth grade at any time.

‘Last night, I ate some black-scaled snake meat, which contained quite a bit of blood essence so my spiritual energy cultivation has increased quite a bit.

‘If I can use the pill refining technique to refine the black-scaled snake into a pill, I should be able to quickly raise my strength to Xiantian sixth grade!’

Having made up his mind, Ye Xiao packed up and prepared to go to work.

Some of the black-scaled snake’s scales had fallen off, and he had refined them into throwing knives. There were more than 20 of them in total.

As usual, UYe Xiao bought breakfast and ate as he walked. On his way to work, he stopped by Boss Xu’s shop.

“Boss Xu, come out to collect the goods.”

“Okay.”

Boss Xu walked out with a smile.

“What are you selling this time?”

Ye Xiao took out a cloth bag and handed all the throwing knives to Boss Xu.

“Well, I looked again yesterday and found that the throwing knives were not a pair, but a dozen. Do you want them?”

“…”

After a long silence, Boss Xu spoke again.

“Ye Xiao, tell me honestly. Do these belong to your ancestors, or did you dig it out from some tomb?

“Let me tell you, I don’t accept dirty things. If the source is unknown, we’ll both be sent to the garrison team to eat in jail.”

“Don’t worry. If I really dug it out from some tomb, I can’t sell all of it to you alone.”

“You’re right.”

They were all adults. If Ye Xiao’s things really came from an unknown source, he definitely would not dare to give them to him casually.

“Alright, I’ll transfer the money for you.”

Ye Xiao nodded. After Boss Xu transferred the money, he smiled and said again,

“Ye Xiao, about the matter I told you the day before yesterday, have you considered it?”

“What matter?”

“It’s about you and my daughter.”

“…Boss Xu, I really don’t want to fall in love right now.”

“Then, do you have any colleagues or good friends who want to fall in love? You can help me introduce them. Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat you. If you help me make the matchmaking, I’ll give you a 40 percent discount when you buy the materials in the future.”

“I’ll try my best to find them.”

“Then I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Okay.”

…

When Ye Xiao arrived at the library, he had just sat down to read when he heard the discussion of some readers.

“He’s coming, he’s coming. The Koga-ryu ninjitsu supreme grandmaster, the 50th ranked on the world Dragon list, Murakami Beichuan, has spoken. He’s coming to challenge the mysterious saber master of our Jianghai city to clear the name of his disciple.”

“I knew he would come sooner or later. His last disciple was killed. It would be strange if he didn’t come.”

“Our Jianghai city is really lively. First, it was the sword sage of Han state, Liu Chengxun, and now it was Koga-ryu ninja from Ying state, Murakami. Both of them were supreme sect martial artists. One was ranked 47th on the World Dragon list, and the other was ranked 50th. If they were to attack us ordinary people, wouldn’t we be in danger?”

“You’re thinking too much. There are a total of 100 martial arts experts on the World Dragon list. The two of them can barely make it into the top 50. There are already 17 martial arts experts in the top 50 of our nine provinces!

“Even Sword Emperor Azure Dragon, who was ranked first on the World Dragon list, was from the nine provinces.

“If they dared to be impudent, the nine provinces’ alliance would definitely send out martial arts experts on the Dragon list to monitor the entire process. If they dared to act recklessly, it would be unless they were tired of living!

“The reason why they dared to come was that they were simply challenging the two mysterious martial arts experts of our Jianghai city. As long as the innocent were not harmed, the two of them would naturally be fine.”

“That’s true.”

When Ye Xiao heard those few words, he could not help but shake his head instantly.

It really had not been settled, yet another wave had risen again!

Previously, Liu Chengxun had not been dealt with, and now another Murakami Beichuan had come.

The strength of the two were both supreme sects, so they should be a little stronger than King El, right?

After all, according to the Legend Under the Starry Sky written by Yang Zhengyi, King El’s strength should be at the first level of the supreme sect.

As for Liu Chengxun and Murakami Beichuan, they could barely enter the top 50 even among the revealed supreme grandmasters in the entire world. They indeed had some skill.

However, he was not too worried.

Firstly, he did not want to show his face in the first place, so he would not accept their challenge and let the two of them wait there.

In any case, with the martial arts experts of the nine provinces around, the two of them would not dare to be too presumptuous.

Secondly, if his identity was exposed and he was targeted by the two of them and had no choice but to accept the challenge, it would not matter.

The day of the seven stars alignment was approaching, and it was impossible for the two of them to come over now.

The Han and Ying states also had to defend against star beasts.

It was very likely that the two of them would come over after the day of the seven stars alignment.

Before the day of the seven star alignment, his cultivation should be able to rise to a similar level, and his alchemy skills should have a high chance of being synthesized.

After the seven-star succession, he would use King El to refine pills, and he would definitely be able to refine some powerful pills.

He was not sure if he would be able to raise his strength to the supreme grandmaster rank, but he should be able to reach an infinitely close level.

With his ability to fight across realms, it should not be a big problem for him to beat the two of them.

Of course, he would try his best not to make a move if he could.

The two of them were ranked 47th and 50th on the World Dragon list. If he really defeated the two of them, he would not simply be noticed by the people of Jianghai city and some netizens.

At that time, his existence might be noticed by the entire world.

That was not a good thing for Ye Xiao who wanted to live a low-profile life.

…

At the same time, in the Jinghai Martial Arts Academy, Qin Yuyan finished practicing her saber technique in the martial arts hall and immediately received a round of warm applause.

“Good!”

Everyone cheered and Qin Yuyan bowed to show her respect.

She had passed the written part of the teacher qualification examination at Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. Now, it was the martial arts interview, which tested her martial arts attainments.

In fact, with her martial arts attainments, it was the same whether she took the exam or not. She had defeated Sasaki Taro, and her standard was enough to be specially recruited as a teacher of the academy.

However, there was still a process to go through. After all, the face-saving project still had to be done.

Qin Shenglong chuckled.

“Yuyan, your performance today was very perfect. In the next two days, I’ll get your information done and start assigning classes so that you can start teaching.”

Qin Yuyan nodded.

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

“By the way, your second uncle has also been transferred back to Jianghai city in the past two days. I heard that he met with a big problem. Go and visit him first.. We’ll have dinner together tonight.”
