Lord Shenxiu
Chapter 50 Challenge

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Challenge

Thirty minutes later.

Zhong Shenxiu walked out of the Sea Star Pavilion hotel with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

Luo Xiaoqing followed behind him, endlessly nagging, "Remember, you owe me 1999! Pay me back right now!!!"

She was indeed very outraged, nearly grinding her small teeth to pieces.

Pathetically, although so many bootlickers usually invited her out to dinner and to the movies, she barely remembered any of them.

However, she had already deeply etched Hua Wu, this man, into her memory.

"Hahaha, it’s just a joke, I’ll pay you back right now."

Zhong Shenxiu burst out laughing as he saw her expression.

"How do you have the money..."

Luo Xiaoqing cried with a long face and slumped into a corner, with a look of defeat, "I should have thought of this earlier, how could a pauper like you possibly have that much money... I’m truly stupid, really."

"Hey, Sister-in-law Xiaoqing, don’t be discouraged, don’t be sad, I’m really going to pay you back right now."

Zhong Shenxiu put on a serious face.

"How are you going to pay? By selling yourself?" Luo Xiaoqing immediately spat back.

"Did you think I came here to eat for fun? There happens to be a dojo next door, I’ll kick its butt, you livestream it, and we split the donations from the fans fifty-fifty. Perfect!"

Zhong Shenxiu laid out his plan.

Indeed, next to the Sea Star Pavilion there was a large martial arts hall named Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall.

"So you had this plan? Forget about it sooner, this trick of getting beaten up and playing the sympathy card is outdated." Luo Xiaoqing criticized, "I remember, after challenging a dojo here, if you lose, you have to treat to a meal. You’re adding new debts to your old ones."

"What? Losers treat to meals? You should have told me earlier. I wouldn’t have brought you along then."

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes lit up as he walked towards the Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall.

Whether or not they were martial artists, making a name for themselves first was the real deal.

"Hey, hey, are you really going?"

Luo Xiaoqing stomped her foot, originally not wanting to bother, but remembering that the other party still owed her money, she could only lament, "These days, debtors are the bosses."

She jogged all the way, following behind Zhong Shenxiu.

...

The Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall was a large dojo, with two rows of receptionists standing at the door, and from time to time, students in azure training uniforms could be seen coming in and out.

"Hello, are the two of you here to learn martial arts? We offer three different classes."

Upon seeing Zhong Shenxiu and Luo Xiaoqing approaching, the receptionist immediately showed a polite smile.

It was obvious that her smile was professionally trained, perfectly showing eight teeth, though it appeared a bit stiff.

"No, we’re here to challenge the dojo."

Zhong Shenxiu looked around and deliberately spoke loudly.

"What?"

"Challenge the dojo?!"

The students around, who were originally listless, suddenly became as excited as if injected with adrenaline, forming a circle.

The receptionist’s smile became even stiffer on her face.

The Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall really had genuine skills, and newcomers trying to cause trouble... were truly rare.

After all, when other experts came for an exchange, they usually notified in advance and were warmly received on this side.

Now these two, they clearly looked like newbies.

"What’s going on?"

A few burly coaches surrounded them.

"Somebody’s come to challenge the dojo, these two."

The receptionist pointed out Zhong Shenxiu and Luo Xiaoqing.

The lead coach saw they were just two youngsters and immediately laughed, "Kids, this isn’t a place where you learn a couple tricks from TV and come to play, go back home."

"Are you scared to accept the challenge?"

Zhong Shenxiu shouted loudly, "So this is what the Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall is like?"

He gave a signal to Luo Xiaoqing, who immediately started the live stream.

The coach, seeing this scene, suddenly felt a headache coming on and quickly had to suppress his anger, showing a polite, gentle smile.

There was no choice, it was being streamed live!

If his nasty demeanor were broadcast online, becoming a hot topic, by tomorrow, he could be a sensation throughout the Star Alliance.

The first thing the Master would do was not let him get away with it.

"Cough cough..."

The coach looked around and saw that many students were also taking out their phones, which only added to his headache, "Alright, if you want a challenge, you need to follow the rules... our Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall rules are to start from the low-level coaches, then the Master’s Disciples, the True Disciples, and the Master... Any problem?"

It was necessary, otherwise any Tom, Dick, or Harry could challenge the Master directly, and there would be no need to open the hall, just busy being challenged every day.

"Okay."

Zhong Shenxiu nodded.

"Then let’s go to the training ground, your first opponent is me."

The male coach twisted his neck, making a crisp sound of bones clashing: "My name is Lan Yi, I’m a coach here, and before the challenge, both parties need to sign a waiver contract. This isn’t me tricking you, it’s just the rules."

"I understand."

Zhong Shenxiu walked to the edge of the ring and saw a guy who looked like a lawyer coming over with a standard contract, and he signed it offhand.

"You’re really playing for keeps."

Luo Xiaoqing came over and whispered in a low voice.

"Of course I am."

Zhong Shenxiu replied matter-of-factly.

He needed to experience the real martial strength of this world, and also to accumulate some Heavenly Show Points.

So, he needed to create as much of a spectacle as possible, as sensational as possible.

"Well then, I’ve logged into the main account."

Luo Xiaoqing quickly operated the phone, opening another live stream.

As soon as it started, a flood of comments appeared:

"Xiaoqing, I love you."

"Lord Qing is live again, quick, come watch."

"Seems like an outdoor live stream, in a martial arts hall?"

"We want to see a costume change, watch the costume change!"

...

Numerous comments nearly filled up the screen.

Seeing this, Zhong Shenxiu was momentarily speechless, "So you were using a secondary account before?"

"Of course, otherwise if it impacts the viewership, will you compensate me?" As Luo Xiaoqing typed quickly, she retorted, "This time I have hundreds of thousands of followers watching; the other side won’t dare to go too harsh."

"Thanks for that, I never thought I’d have a big-time streamer next door."

Zhong Shenxiu smiled, walked onto the ring without any protective gear.

"Alright, this time I’ll show you all a challenge bout, the opponent is Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall, hopefully my friend doesn’t get beaten too bad..."

Luo Xiaoqing aimed the camera at the ring, her voice sweetening as if coated with honey.

"Competitions are boring, we want to see a costume change!"

"Lord Qing, your friend doesn’t look capable."

"Sea Blue Martial Arts Hall, I know it, it’s the most famous local martial arts hall, the Master Lan Wangchuan, once placed 99th in the national combat competition, is a registered expert at the Martial Artist Association, just one step away from getting certified, becoming a true Martial Artist."

"Ah, will that kid get beaten to death?"

"Don’t worry, who ever saw a Master go first? That kid doing well enough to reach the personal disciple would be pretty good."

...

Watching the swiftly passing comments, Luo Xiaoqing couldn’t help but look at the ring with more concern, mumbling to herself, "You better not die, you still owe me money... wait, better you die, otherwise if you get seriously injured and disabled, and you have no money, do I have to take you to the hospital?"
