I Am The Young Master

Chapter 81: A friendly spar in the past

——(POV third person)——

'I really don't care about his stupid attitude but he keeps pushing his luck…' Li Huang thought as he looked at Cai ZhenKang's face who was still grinning.

Cai ZhenKang didn't put Jin Fen in his eyes at all but he was interested in fighting Li Huang more because of the move he used moments ago. True, he can also use the weapon Qi but the level of control that Li Huang showed when he grazed Jin Fen's cheek showed him that he has precise control over his power and this fight would be more interesting than what he anticipated.

Jin Fen on the other side felt like he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders as he was subjected to an attack he could hardly register and he could have lost his life at the will of others, like what happened years ago.

Having the fortune that he had in the last years made him think that there is nothing that can stop him on the same generation but still wealth and background and talent were the things that one needed to progress.

What is righteousness without power? What is talent without resources? What is a genius without backing?

He resentfully looked at Li Huang.

'Heaven's favorite. So what if you have the favor of the heavens? I will even crush the heavens if they dare come in between me and my goal.' Jin Fen concluded internally.

He clenched his shaking hands into a fist and vowed to train more to stop this day from happening again and this humiliation to repeat itself.

If Li Huang was aware of this internal monologue of Jin Fen He would slip and fall headfirst. Even in his dreams, he wouldn't be able to create a scenario that Jin Fen would come to this conclusion, luckily for him, he didn't know about this so he calmly continued his talk with Cai ZhenKang.

"We will be using our weapon Qi as well… or do you want me to give you a handicap?" Li Huang said as naturally as he could but he was taunting Cai ZhenKang.

"Heh, Li Huang do you want us to spar or play house? Of course, we will be using our weapon Qi." Cai ZhenKang said with a smirk. For him, any fight without Axe Qi was child's play so he didn't hesitate to dismiss Li Huang's suggestion.

"Okay then let's move a little further, as you can see this is not a suitable location for a fight." Li Huang said. He didn't plan to fight where they had all their tents and let Cai ZhenKang destroy them 'accidentally'.

Cai ZhenKang nodded a little and decided to taunt Li Huang a little more.

"It is surprising that you are not hiding behind a woman this time…" He said. He was talking about what happened 5 years ago when Grandpa Long and Yuan Jia went out for a meeting of seven holy lands and took Li Huang and Hu Anjing with them.

At the time Cai ZhenKang tried to spar with Li Huang who wasn't a Qi practitioner at the time and was still training with the sword so any sane person would call it a beating instead of a 'spar'.

So Hu Anjing who is a couple of years younger than Cai ZhenKang told him that she would spar with him in Li Huang's stead. Cai ZhenKang at first tried to ignore her by reminding her that she is a woman but Hu Anjing told him that the fact that he is backing away from the spar only shows that he has a small genitalia.

This resulted in Cai ZhenKang accepting the spar and as expected of someone who struggled daily to stay alive, Hu Anjing won without much difficulty in half an hour where Cai ZhenKang mostly felt like he was doing body cultivation. Meanwhile, Hu Anjing didn't forget to 'unintentionally' kick him in the balls on multiple occasions throughout the spar.

Li Huang was surprised that Cai ZhenKang even dared to use that spar to taunt him as it was clearly a traumatizing experience for Cai ZhenKang himself.

Hu Anjing who was beside Ye Ling and was asking her about the situation raised an eyebrow at this and couldn't stop herself from talking.

"I am always ready for another spar…" She said with a smirk and Cai ZhenKang shuddered involuntarily.

Not only the spar was painful for him, the training that he had to go through after that was also hell. He had multiple sessions of intense training as he 'lost face for the sect' as his master told him.

He decided to stay silent and Li Huang also decided to let him be.

After they got a little distance between themselves and the tents, Li Huang stopped.

They were surrounded by trees and the location was somewhat unsuitable for a fight of this scale.

When Cai ZhenKang who felt down all the way saw this, didn't miss this chance to throw a sly remark at Li Huang.

"Little Huang, you might be able to fight here but my body—" he was going to say how he isn't going to be able to fight here but couldn't finish what he was saying.

The moment Li Huang saw that Cai ZhenKang is going to trash-talk him, he first checked to see that the others are at a safe distance and then took out a scroll from his storage ring containing the [Law of wind] and activated it at the spot he was.

This was one of the powerful scrolls that Li Huang had and when activated, uprooted all the trees in the 500 meters (A/N: 547 yards) diameter. With this simple move, the place was now suitable for the spar.

Cai ZhenKang who understood what was happening fast, could hardly hold himself on the ground even after he stabbed his axe in the ground to gain an additional foothold. When the 'wind' passed he was rooted in the ground up to his knees.

He looked at Li Huang who was smiling at him and freed his legs from the ground.

"HAHA…HAHAHAHA…HAHA…HA, that was a good warm-up." He said as he dusted off his clothes.

"So the only rule is that we can't kill each other?" Li Huang asked him to make sure. Fights in the blue bulls sect are not bound by petty rules as they call them, the only rule is that killing is prohibited until said otherwise.

By saying this Li Huang showed 'hospitality' to his opponent and followed their local rules.

"Yes, but an inch away from death is still alive, HAHAHA." Cai ZhenKang said as he picked up his axe.
