BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
9 - Challenge

Chu Kai was surprised to get a challenge from a 14-year-old boy. Although he was a young man who did not like fights, but that did not mean he would let this kind of thing happen to him.

While blowing his front hair bangs, Chu Kai began to grab the sword that stuck in front of him and then pulled it.

He was jolted because this sword was heavy and when he looked carefully, this was truly a very sharp real sword. Chu Kai subconsciously held his breath and blinked a few times, he looked at the boy before him for a moment before directing his attention to the sword in his hand back.

Liang Yimu snorted and with a hand-delivered gesture-he also told Chu Kai to follow him. The news that he was going to fight with the chosen Dragon Swordsman instantly spread to all corners of the Wushi Mountain Sect, even to the fifth ear of the Sacred Swordsman.

On the arena stage, Chu Kai felt extremely nervous about having to stand while being witnessed by the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect. He gulped several times and tried hard to regulate his heartbeat.

"There's a lot of people here? Why didn't anyone break us? Am I seriously going to fight with a child?!" chu Kai's face looked pale.

He did not doubt his opponent even though the age of the figure in front of him was very young. What he was worried about was himself. He never used a sword to injure others, not even to imagine it.

!!

Chu Kai flinched as he saw Liang Yimu begin to raise his sword. The blade of the boy's weapon flashed and was so sharp just by being hit by the sunlight.

When the sharp gaze of the boy was seen and the figure was about to dart, Chu Kai quickly exclaimed. "Wait a minute!"

Liang Yimu frowned, but the position of his feet remained ready to crashing. His voice was cold as he said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Of course it's afraid," Chu Kai couldn't possibly say. So he pretended and then smiled, "I know all you want is to test me. So what if this was the case, it should not attack vital organs or kill. And you also don't suddenly disappear and appear in front of me just like that,

"Huh, what?"

"Why? You don't want rules like this? Are you afraid of losing if you don't use that strange power to face me?" Chu Kai raised his eyebrows, looking so haughty but inwardly he actually held back the trembling on both knees.

Liang Yimu clenched his hands and held his sword force this time. He really disliked the young man before him for some reason and saw how confident this fellow was ... He also became more upset.

"All right! I'll do it" Liang Yimu rubbed his sword blade and in a cold voice said, "You better not disappoint."

"Gosh, this little boy is very serious." Chu Kai gulped and held his sword with two hands. The position of his feet was so awkward, he knew absolutely nothing about sword techniques or the like.

Chu Kai's body was indeed large, muscular enough for an 18-year-old young man in general. The muscles in his body are formed from his habit of always doing heavy work, helping his father carry water, cutting down trees and others.

Chu Kai's body muscles had never been trained to swing a sword or for martial arts, hence he looked extremely stiff even when wielding a weapon.

Liang Yimu started to move. Although without using natural energy to shoot surprisingly, but the movement is still so agile. The only human Chu Kai could certainly not be a match for him even though their age and body shape were far adrift.

The disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect seemed to be paying attention to Liang Yimu. Not a few who gasped because they saw the position of Chu Kai's body that did not look like a swordsman at all.

Let alone the position of his legs and body, Chu Kai even held the weapon with both hands while closing his eyes. There were among the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect who exclaimed and asked him to fight back.

"Geez, he could be seriously hurt. Hey..! Open your eyes!"

"You can't fight if you close your eyes! Gosh.."

"That's not how. Don't you know how to use a sword, huh?!"

!!!

The disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect who were outside the arena were shocked as Liang Yimu moved his sword and nearly split Chu Kai's sword and injured the young man if something shocking did not happen.

Somehow, when Liang Yimu's sword accidentally hit the opponent-sword-shockingly he bounced as if there was a strong wind pushing his body. This incident made the other disciples shocked so much that not a few were stunned.

Chu Kai himself felt numbness in his hands at the same time when he heard a loud voice. He had only opened his eyes when he felt that a strong wind was blowing on him and of course he was shocked to see Liang Yimu currently slumped on the floor. The boy cursed and was very upset with him.

"Why can he do it?"

"The young man ... He's great,"

"I think he's hiding his real power,"

"Dragon Swordsman, hm?"

Many voices sounded, but Chu Kai focused more on what he was going through. Really, what happened to Liang Yimu wasn't her. He had no idea at all, his knees were still even trembling at this moment. He couldn't move so nervously.

There were three people treading on the arena floor and making Chu Kai flinch. The two of them helped Liang Yimu stand up and take him out of the arena, while the other one walked closer to Chu Kai.

The 19-year-old-looking male figure was wearing the same clothes as the other Wushi Mountain Sect disciples.

The figure smiled amiably and put both hands together respectfully. He also opened his voice, "Tian Zhuang, hoping to exchange martial arts with the Dragon Swordsman."

!!

Chu Kai was surprised, this young man was polite but why would he also want a fight with him?! Doesn't anyone have to stop this now?

"Sacred Warrior Wei Zhang Zihan..?!"

!!

"Young Master Wei..!!"

Chu Kai turned around as someone walked beside him. He was wide-eyed when he saw that the one who came was indeed Wei Zhang Zihan, the young man who had already dragged him to this place.

"............." Wei Zhang Zihan only briefly looked at Chu Kai and then walked towards Tian Zhuang. His expression was calm and unwavering. His presence in this place had already made the atmosphere instantly tense and silent.

Without a tone, Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice. "You're disbanded,"

Just that one command, Tian Zhuang and the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect who were at that place saluted and instantly dispersed themselves. Not even a single person among them replied to Wei Zhang Zihan's words.

Chu Kai who witnessed all of that could not to hide his sense of admiration. He was stunned with his mouth wide open. He was either conscious or not-but Chu Kai walked up to Wei Zhang Zihan and clucked in admiration.

"You're cool, awesome." Chu Kai shook his head and said, "How do you do that? 'You guys disbanded' waah! You're like ... Like .. Um... Oho! Gang leader, you know what I mean. You're like that,"

Wei Zhang Zihan noticed the figure beside him. His facial expression did not change, yet his voice turned cold as he snorted. "Hmph, you're stupid."

!!

Chu Kai nearly fell down upon hearing that remark. He looked at Wei Zhang Zihan and said, "I just praised you and here's the reply? Oh, awesome."

Chu Kai dropped the sword he was holding earlier and then walked away. He said, "I don't know how that little boy fell, but it seems to be you. I thank you for that and goodbye-oh!"

"Where do you think you're going?" Wei Zhang Zihan held back the back collar of Chu Kai's clothes and made the young man startled.

"Young Master Wei, I just want to go home. My dad must be in need of help, at this kind of time-the customers in my shop will be more and more, so be it!"

"Can't go,"

"What?! Butwhy? Hey..!" Chu Kai was shocked that the collar behind his clothes was pulled and he was forced to follow Wei Zhang Zihan. The thing is, he's treated like a cat if the collar behind his clothes is pulled like this.

"Young Master Wei, you must understand. There was a mistake and that's how you guys saw me. I'm not a Dragon Swordsman or anything. I'm just an ordinary human," Chu Kai tried to break free and continued to persuade Wei Zhang Zihan.

Chu Kai said, "I came to this sect to see Miss Xia Ling Qing. Really am! That'sallthatis. I'm a big admirer of Miss Xia. But who knows if someone's gonna throw me to the polls. Fortunately, I didn't hit the ground. If that happens ... Hiya... It's over,"

"..............."

"So, Young Master Wei. The point is there was a mistake. The Master was not referring to me as the Dragon Swordsman, it was just a coincidence that I stood there and unintentionally blocked others. You all misunderstood. You heard me, right? I'm not a Dragon Warrior. Just holding the sword I just did it for the first time, really."

"..............."

"Young Master Wei-"

"You can ask directly,"

"What?" Chu Kai gasped at Wei Zhang Zihan's words. He was finally released and only realized that he was currently in another part of the Wushi Mountain Sect.

In addition to the grass, the trees, and Wei Zhang Zihan who was standing in front of him-Chu Kai also saw the saplings of stairs that were out of nowhere.

"Place ... What is this place?" Chu Kai asked in a cautious voice, "Where am I being taken?"

"....... Master Zhuang, he has chosen you." Wei Zhang Zihan said without a tone, "If you want to leave this place, then say goodbye to him."

Chu Kai blinked. He followed the direction of Wei Zhang Zihan's gaze looking at the stepladder. He said, "Master Zhuang ... Is it up there?"

"Peach Flower Clocks. You can get there through these stairs, Master Zhuang is waiting for you."

"Really?" Chu Kai gulped and then started walking towards the stone stairs before him.

He exhaled, turning his head for a moment towards Wei Zhang Zihan before taking one step and retracing on the first rung of stairs.

Nothing happened and this made Chu Kai step on the second rung of the stairs. He climbed up one by one the steps and Wei Zhang Zihan stood looking at him.

"..............." Wei Zhang Zihan's expression did not change, but when he saw that Chu Kai was already on the tenth step, his eyes began to differ.

Wei Zhang Zihan walked up to the stairs that Chu Kai had previously stepped on. He stared at the stairs for a long time before his feet began to move.

The memory of this staircase seemed to be flashed before Wei Zhang Zihan's eyes like a flashback.

This was no ordinary staircase, but rather a Tian Chuang Line. Only the chosen one could ride it without any injuries at all.

When the selection of the Sacred Swordsman, the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect were many victims on this staircase. Even those who forced themselves to ascend, his meridians would be cut off and this was an extraordinarily fatal effect.

Wei Zhang Zihan did not explain it and Chu Kai did not know anything at all. Wei Zhang Zihan retracted his steps and just stood at the very bottom of the stairs.
