I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 764: Chapter Fifty Eight: Asking for the Way

On normal days, having overly sharp senses can be a burden, but during a battle, it would be best to be as sharp as possible. There’s no reason to suppress it.

The extremely sensitive hearing made Bu Xiao’s transmission quite clear, and although he could not hear Buddha Son Yankong’s zen-like responses, from what Bu Xiao conveyed he knew that there must be Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain’s plot involved in this apparently coincidental battle.

Either they underestimated their own strength or did not expect Elder Xu to be so resolute, the matter escalated beyond control. Otherwise, where would Bu Xiao’s apologies come from!?

Just now, Elder Xu, who had issued the Tongming decree with his Divine Sword, didn’t dissipate the Tongming Sword Body either, and also heard Bu Xiao’s transmission clearly.

Perhaps this was the irony of fate, Bu Xiao sighed as he looked at Elder Xu, whose expression was complex, and said, “The Tongming Sword Body is truly rare, perhaps I forgot this characteristic of keen perception. It seems that both of you have already heard it?”

The host, who had initially summoned his teacher for a questioning, suddenly became somewhat embarrassed, and the atmosphere instantly tightened.

Tang Luo frowned and asked: “I find it strange, I was the one who injured your cousin, why did you retaliate through the hand of Buddha Son Yankong? A Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain doesn’t even have the courage to act himself?”

Although Tang Luo was convinced that Bu Xiao had a significant connection with this matter, he was still unable to comprehend the thought process of the person before him. He had just fought against Buddha Son Yankong and confirmed that the latter’s Four Little Saints’ cultivation level was completely genuine and utterly pure martial arts. Bu Xiao, who could compare himself to such a person, should be a domineering and unmatched figure, so why would he resort to such sneaky tactics?

“Brother Bu” Elder Xu’s expression was also complicated. Looking at Bu Xiao, he asked doubtfully: “I know you are upright and would never resort to such a despicable method. Is there something unspeakable?”

Bu Xiao remained silent and just coldly raised his head. Once he decided to take responsibility for this matter, there was absolutely no reason for hesitation. Some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back.

The pride of the Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain didn’t allow him to play the hypocrite.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Well done, Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain, well done, Four Little Saints. Debts must be repaid by their proper debtor. It seems that I found the wrong person, ” Tang Luo coldly said as he looked at Bu Xiao, “If I am not mistaken, this Young Martial Artist Conference of Longzhou is jointly hosted by Martial Saint Mountain and Beast Taming Sect, but I am curious, will the Dao Child of both sects come forward to exchange knowledge? After all, the outer disciples of the Martial Saint Mountain seem unable to withstand a fight.”

If these words were spoken by someone else, then Bu Xiao and the three Grandmasters would laugh it off at best. When the youngest martial artist of the Fierce Realm in history says it, even the Grandmasters must take it seriously.

Those who had just witnessed the battle between Tang Luo and Buddha Son Yankong could confirm that becoming a Grandmaster was just the lowest expectation of this young man’s amazing talent.

Judging by his words, it was clear that Tang Luo was challenging Dao Child Bu Xiao of Martial Saint Mountain.

With a scornful laugh, Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain disdainfully replied: “You want to challenge me?”

“Indeed, after all, there is no other way to deal with Dao Child, who carries three Grandmasters with him,” Tang Luo shrugged, pointing at the three Grandmasters following Bu Xiao, he casually said: “If these three weren’t here, your head would have exploded by now.”

“Cousin!” Upon hearing Tang Luo’s harsh words, Elder Xu grabbed his shoulder and suggested, “I still think there must be some misunderstanding. Although we haven’t known Brother Bu for long, his pride is unparalleled in my life. I believe others might employ these sinister tactics, but Brother Bu definitely won’t. There must be a hidden truth!”

After advising Tang Luo, Elder Xu turned his head and looked at Bu Xiao again, saying seriously, “Brother Bu, I know that as a Dao Child of the Martial Saint Mountain, many things are beyond your control, but we are friends. I believe you wouldn’t intentionally plot against my cousin. There must be an unspeakable secret hidden in this, isn’t there?”

The Tongming Sword Body could perceive the mysterious insights, this ability advanced even further after Elder Xu broke through the Fierce Realm. It could even detect the rapid changes in one’s mind.

When Elder Xu asked in this way, he didn’t expect an answer from Bu Xiao; he only needed a single emotional response, which would suffice for him to form a judgment, which was his main basis for making friends along the way.

Although the infamous Xu Clan had not many friends, they were all close and trustworthy. He believed Bu Xiao was the same.

It is often said that having a confidant in life is enough, yet many people rely on hearsay to judge a person. Even some smart people only believe what they see or hear. However, sometimes even witnessing or hearing something personally can be deceptive due to the fragmented nature of the pieces of information.

If someone else had heard his transmission with Buddha Son Yankong, they would have cut ties immediately, and keeping their anger in check would have already demonstrated high cultivation. But Elder Xu was not only capable of calm thinking, but also stood from Bu Xiao’s perspective to excuse and endorse him.

Maybe at first, Bu Xiao considered Elder Xu as a valuable social connection to be nurtured, but now the Dao child of Martial Saint Mountain regarded him as a true friend.

However, as proud as he was, since he had already decided to take the responsibility for this incident, how could he be manipulated by the Tongming Sword Body? The secret scriptures of the bright Dao Heart circulated within him, his heart full of gratitude turned instantly calm as an ancient well. Elder Xu’s strategy to sense his emotions came to nothing.

“You want to challenge me? First, win the top spot in the martial arts conference.”

Calmly dropping a sentence, Bu Xiao set off with the three Grandmasters, disappearing into the distance.

Until he left, the proud Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain never explained anything to Elder Xu, or even showed a single emotional fluctuation.

This made Elder Xu feel somewhat melancholic and he looked into the far distance with complex emotions.

“Don’t be down. I told you before that relying on the insights of the Tongming Sword Body isn’t reliable,” Tang Luo patted Elder Xu’s shoulder, bringing his attention back.

Turning his head back, Elder Xu’s peach blossom eyes were filled with regret, yet he still defended Bu Xiao: “Cousin, believe me, Bu Xiao is extremely proud, he definitely wouldn’t resort to sneaky plots!”

“Alright, let’s assume what you said is all true and he has unspeakable secrets. But the fact is, Tang Xing was cudgeled into senselessness. Now he’s confused and dazed. As his older brother, I have to avenge him,” Tang Luo frowned and said: “If Bu Xiao can’t help it, does Tang Xing deserve it? Why not?”

“Sigh!” Elder Xu sighed heavily, speechless.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that. Can you tell me more about the top spot at this martial arts conference?” Tang Luo waved his hand, steering the conversation back, “Does this mean if I win the top spot, I can challenge Bu Xiao?”

“It’s not a challenge, it’s an inquiry,” Elder Xu explained: “The martial arts conference has three stages. The one with the highest cumulative scores from the three stages will be the winner. The top three of each martial arts conference will have a chance to inquire from Martial Saint Mountain. You can pose a request to Martial Saint Mountain. Most of the previous winners asked for the repair or improvement of their martial arts secret techniques, or an illustration of their visualizing techniques. Perhaps, you can ask to spar with Bu Xiao.”
