There was not a trace of anger or discontent in her tone when Helian Wei Wei spoke. She slightly raised her chin, seemingly indolent.
Da Xiong was so infuriated he could only let out a laugh when he heard that she wanted to have a match with him. “Since you want a match, I will punish Old General Helian’s useless descendant on his behalf!”
Helian Wei Wei was a lot more courteous compared to Da Xiong, and merely uttered, “Please do.”
As antic.i.p.ated, her breezy, indifferent att.i.tude aroused everyone’s dissatisfaction, “Captain, do not go easy on her. You must give her a ruthless punishment…”
It was too late for Old Master Hei to stop him as the crowd became enraged. He glanced at the young general standing beside him and spoke disgruntledly, “She is no longer the useless Helian Wei Wei from the past. While all of you are recovering from injuries, the Capital has undergone tremendous changes. Chi Yan, you would know clearly despite their ignorance. The martial arts in your hand was handmade by Wei Wei herself.”
“I know.” Chi Yan spoke calmly, “However, that fact would not appease everyone.”
Old Master Hei burrowed his white eyebrows when he heard that.
Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei and Da Xiong had already reached the field.
After they were in positions, Da Xiong pointed at the weapons rack and ordered, “Go and choose your weapons. I will go easy on you and fight barehanded.”
Helian Wei Wei was unperturbed by the gloating laughter from the surrounding crowd. She replied indifferently, “There’s no need for that, I brought my own weapon. Let’s begin.”
“Since you sincerely ask for punishment, I will fulfill your request!” Without further comments, Da Xiong lunged at Helian Wei Wei in the blink of an eye. Such nimble agility seemed incompatible with his burly physique. A pair of iron fists fired at her, blowing up a gust of wind…
When Helian Wei Wei saw Da Xiong rus.h.i.+ng toward her, her beautiful eyes gradually narrowed. However, her posture remained unchanged, merely standing there casually.
When Da Xiong’s humongous fist closed in on Helian Wei Wei, she bent over to avoid it. Then, she followed it up by hitting Da Xiong’s chin with an uppercut.
Da Xiong was surprised that this useless descendant could escape his fist. Before he could come back to his senses, he felt a dangerous aura coming beneath his head. He swiftly moved his head aside, barely avoiding a striking punch from Helian Wei Wei.
When Helian Wei Wei saw that the punch missed, she bent down and supported herself on the ground with one hand. Then, she launched her right foot toward Da Xiong’s face.
Before this, Da Xiong barely avoided Helian Wei Wei’s fist as he was stunned. Yet, before he could regain his composure, he felt a sharp pain coming from his forehead as Helian Wei Wei gave him a st.u.r.dy kick.
Da Xiong fumbled backward after the attack. While he was bewildered, Helian Wei Wei jumped up high and hugged Da Xiong’s head, hitting him ruthlessly with an elbow strike.
Bang!
A once overconfident Da Xiong was pummeled to the ground by Helian Wei Wei, his ears buzzing wildly and he was knocked down for some time.
All the soldiers were stunned as they witnessed Da Xiong lying on the ground, an incredulous expression slowly dawning on his face.
Da Xiong shook his head twice, wanting to stand up and fight again!
Chi Yan, who was wearing a proper military uniform, walked over with his waist-long black hair fluttering gently in the wind. His cold face was expressionless as he reached out to hold Da Xiong’s hand. His tone was calm, but imposing, “You will lose if you fight again.”
“That’s not necessarily true. I only used less than a fifth of my power!” Da Xiong then shouted begrudgingly, “I didn’t fight her seriously as I was going easy on a woman!”
Chi Yan glanced at Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly and uttered again, “You only know that you used less than one-fifth of your strength, but did you not realize she had wrist and ankle weights on her?”
“Weights?” Da Xiong could not believe it. He scanned all over Helian Wei Wei and was stunned by his discovery. She really had weights on? This woman actually wore three weighted buckles while sparring with me! And… her speed was lightning fast as if she was not wearing any weights at all!
Chi Yan’s voice was cold but sounded exceptionally rich in the quiet night. “Not only that, she has not even released her martial Qi.”
Da Xiong’s face completely stiffened when he heard the news.
Helian Wei Wei did not try to conceal the martial Qi she cultivated. Her delicate lips formed into a grin as she opened her palm, the sleeves of her robe fluttered wildly. A gust of wind whirled behind her, seemingly being controlled by her. Then, huge torrents of air formed and circled around her as though she was a queen who controlled all the wind in the world. Her eyes narrowed with a stubborn sneer as her darkened face appeared surprisingly captivating.
“This, how could this girl possess such strength!”
Other than the surrounding soldiers, even Old Master Hei was shocked and thrilled at this sight.
It seemed that it would not be long before they could revive the hidden army and finally reclaim the General’s residence.
Da Xiong was standing the nearest to Helian Wei Wei, thus it was clear as day to him. If she had used her martial Qi at the beginning of the fight, he would not even have the opportunity to attack, much less winning.
After the commotion, the schoolyard fell into an unprecedented silence.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the soldiers in front of her indifferently. “I know you are disappointed with what I did previously, but none of those was truly my intention. I was falsely incriminated, my Meridian was broken off, and my martial Qi was lost. I was naive and thought that I was being cared for, yet it was all an illusion in an attempt to murder me. I am a changed person now. I might not have the calmest temperament, but I am no longer a thoughtless fool. The only thing I want to achieve now is to reclaim everything that belonged to our Helian family, including your trust! I would not demand your unwavering loyalty like what you had for my grandfather, but I promise that even after 100 years have pa.s.sed, people will still remember our unbeatable hidden army!”
Her voice was soft, but its message rang clear and loud for everyone, and its honesty reached deep into their coursing veins.
After listening to her explanation and witnessing her capabilities, burning aspiration surged explosively in their chests.
Only then did they realize, they had always been waiting for the true arrival of the Helian descendants…
Undoubtedly, this moment that they had been waiting for, had finally arrived!
The soldiers looked up at the slender figure standing in the moonlight. She was not very tall, yet her poise gave people the courage to conquer the world.
Da Xiong might have been the first person to provoke Helian Wei Wei, but he knelt down unhesitatingly, and declared in a ringing voice, “I, Sun Da Xiong, will follow the young master to my death!”
After his speech, the soldiers burst into a rising uproar, with enthusiasm like sparks of fire. Their chanting echoed throughout the valley, “We are also willing to follow the young master to our deaths!”
Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath as she witnessed the scene that unfolded before her. She could even taste the coolness of the air. At long last, she finally had what she needed to reclaim the General’s residence!
