Chapter 17: Lishi Brother (1)

  Only two people were seen between them, with flashing knives and swords, turning and leaping, the two weapons danced into two clusters of cold light, colliding with each other from time to time, hard to distinguish between winner and loser.

  Han Li watched for a while, but couldn't make out who was winning or losing. He only felt that the two people were fighting very fiercely and beautifully, and he couldn't tell which moves were high-level techniques and which ones were not. As for who was more skilled, it was even less possible for him to understand as an outsider.

  "Junior Brother Han, I don't know which Senior Uncle's door you are under to cultivate. Now that you've come out of closed-door training, your abilities must have made great progress, right?" Little Abacus finally couldn't bear it anymore and respectfully asked about Han Li's lineage.

  To know, each of the seven Xuanmen's inner disciples generally undergo two years of basic training in Bai Duantang before being sent to their respective senior masters to pay homage and learn more advanced martial arts. After becoming a master, these disciples take on specific duties within the school.

  Of course, this is just the process of coming out for ordinary disciples. If a disciple performs exceptionally well in the entrance test, they can also enter the Seven Extremes Hall without going through two years of basic training and be accepted as an inner disciple by several door masters to teach them the ultimate skills within the school, which can be called a carp jumping over the dragon gate, soaring into the sky.

  In the two-year foundational training, if there are still outstanding performers, they may also be favored by some elders, hall masters, and reverends, and be taken in as direct disciples. Although their prospects are not as good as those of the sect master's disciples, they will still receive more attention than ordinary disciples.

  Xiao Suanpan heard that Han Li had just come out of seclusion from somewhere, and since he had never seen this person before, he naturally guessed that this person was a disciple of some high-ranking figure in the sect, so he asked with respect, wanting to get close to him.

  "I was taken in as a disciple by one of the respected elders several years ago. As for who that elder is, I'd rather not mention their esteemed name." Han Li's face showed a hint of shyness, but his words carried a deliberate tone of pride.

  "Is that so, Brother Han is really lucky, his future in the sect will be very promising. I hope to have the opportunity to get your support, Brother." Xiaosuan heard Han Li unwilling to reveal his master's name and didn't mind, anyway, no matter which master it was, he was stronger than his own master, but his tone changed immediately.

  "Brother Han is obviously not a mediocre person, he will surely make great achievements in the future, it's only a matter of time." He continued to flatter.

  "This guy is so dark and dull-looking, with a foolish expression on his face. How can Master take him as a disciple? Someone as clever as myself, why isn't there any great figure who wants me?" Xiaosuan thought to himself, while his facial expression became even more respectful.

  Han Li heard his tone change greatly, and he himself changed from Han Shidi to Han Shixiong in an instant, feeling somewhat amused.

  However, Han Li did not have the slightest disdain for him in his heart. After all, currying favor with those in power is just human nature. Who doesn't want to live a better life and climb higher? Not to mention that this person's name alone reveals that he is a meticulous and cunning individual who excels at flattering others.

  But he's going to be greatly disappointed, what he said earlier may not be false, but the identity of this disciple is just a watered-down version. In the Seven Mysteries Sect, any ordinary disciple can easily knock him down. He thinks he's a big shot, but he's probably mistaken about who he is.

  Han Li smiled wryly to himself as he listened to Xiao Suanpan's flattering words, occasionally responding with a few pleasantries.

  "Brother Han's martial arts skills are exceptionally strong, if he is willing to take action, he will definitely be able to defeat that sword-wielding person with ease, and he will definitely..." Xiaosuan continued to speak flattering words without pause, while also dividing his attention to carefully observe Han Li's every move.

  "Huh? It's really strange, the disciples who worship should have deep internal skills and not be weak in martial arts, but how can't I see through this person's depth? This person's temples don't even bulge slightly, and there's no sharp light leaking from his eyes. No matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary person who doesn't know any martial arts." Xiao Suanpan became more and more puzzled as he observed.

  "It's decided who wins and loses." Han Li's light and airy words came over, interrupting his thoughts.

  Xiao Suanpan was startled and quickly shifted his gaze back to the scene.

  As expected, the person who was stabbed had already thrown his knife aside, one arm bleeding profusely, the other hand pressing against the wound, his face deathly pale. It seemed he didn't concede defeat willingly. This wasn't surprising, as both men's martial arts skills were roughly equal, and earlier it was just a moment of carelessness that led to him falling into his opponent's trap, losing by a hair.

  Xiao Suanpan's face was filled with regret as he said "what a pity" repeatedly.

  "What's wrong, what a pity." Han Li couldn't see anything coming out of it, but with someone like that standing beside him, not asking would be too much of an injustice to himself.

  "If Wang Dabao's side wins this game, they will win three games and the last game will not be played. Unfortunately, they didn't win!"

  "Oh!"

  "But it doesn't matter, now there's only one more round left. Wang Dabao's side has the strongest martial arts among our disciples, with a powerful and unmatched Thunderbolt Knife Technique that can shatter rocks and cut through gold. Haha! I get to see Lethal Brother's signature knife technique, so it wasn't a waste of time coming here. No matter who Zhang Changgui's side sends out, we're definitely going to win." Little Abacus was initially a bit disappointed, but then got excited, looking like he had complete confidence in that Lethal Brother.

  "Is it the last one already?" Han Li responded casually, thinking to himself who this Senior Brother Han was. He didn't recognize him as one of their own people.

  At this time, a boy with a cold expression walked out from Wang Dabao's side. The boy held a long knife that emitted a chilling glow and walked step by step to the center of the arena. Then, without saying a word, he closed his eyes.

  "Brother Li! Brother Li! Brother Li!......"

  As soon as the young man appeared, everyone outside the field was excited and shouted out his name in unison. The cheers grew louder and louder, shaking the entire stadium. At this moment, it was impossible to distinguish between the sons of rich families and those of poor families, with only a unanimous cheer for the young man.
