Chapter 254: Being Humiliated
However, Su Huiqing was such a person. No matter what the people around her said, she remained fearless. She walked towards the high platform with a relaxed expression.
“Missy, do you want me to help you up?” Dugu Xing stood at the side and looked down at Su Huiqing with an indifferent expression.
“Miss Xing, why waste your breath on someone who doesn’t know her place?” On the high platform, the youth standing beside Dugu Xing scoffed. His tone was rather arrogant. “She thought that the training grounds were hers. That anyone can enter?”
Everyone knew that they were the thirty most outstanding members of the Dugu Family, and their combined strength was even more terrifying. The young mistress in front of them was indeed talented, but she didn’t have any spirit energy at all. How could she beat them?
From the looks of it, she couldn’t even climb up a three-meter-tall platform. Yet, she still wanted to go to the training grounds.
This was the funniest joke he had ever heard.
The judges weren’t all from the Dugu Family. More than half of them were elders from other families. One of them frowned at Su Huiqing. It was obvious that he didn’t have a good impression of the Dugu Family’s Missy.
In the eyes of the outside world, Su Huiqing came back after knowing that she was the Missy of the Dugu Family. She was just an ordinary person, and yet she still wanted to compete with the elites of her family for resources.
The judges didn’t even look at Su Huiqing and said, “Let the compet.i.tion begin.”
Su Huiqing slowly raised her head, twisted her wrist, and looked up coldly. “Let the game begin.”
She spoke very slowly.
“What?”
Su Huiqing didn’t reply. Instead, she raised her head to look at the tall platform which was much taller than her. She then reached out her right hand and supported herself against the smooth wall. With a swift flip, she landed on the platform.
No one knew what technique she had flipped through. When everyone snapped back to their senses, they only saw her black hair slowly falling back.
A layer of golden light was painted by the sunlight. Under the light, her eyes were clear.
The young man sneered and glanced sideways at Su Huiqing. “Missy, can you be smarter? An ordinary person dares to compete with us. Even if you are seeking death, don’t do it like this!”
The people here could not compare to Dugu Xing. However, compared to a normal person like Su Huiqing, they were worlds apart. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had a spot in the training grounds and resources, they wouldn’t even bother to share the stage with her.
No matter how high her bloodline was, she was just an ordinary person.
At this moment, all thirty people moved.
Everyone’s speed was very fast. Those who were close to Su Huiqing gathered their energy and attacked her. At this moment, even Dugu Xing secretly gathered her energy and prepared to give Su Huiqing a fatal blow. With thirty people and thirty directions, Su Huiqing had no way to dodge.
However, at this very second…
Su Huiqing dodged perfectly, tilted her head slightly, and evaded all the attacks without any hesitation. In the eyes of others, the situation was extremely dangerous, but Su Huiqing’s eyes were filled with pa.s.sion.
Her lowered eyes sparkled. It had been a long time since she had such a hearty scene. This world was indeed suitable for her!
The thirty-square-meter-wide platform was not big, and everyone’s range of activity was limited. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was difficult to even reach out one’s hand. However, Su Huiqing moved like a fish in the water.
She didn’t use any spirit energy and only used her skills as a mercenary. She also used skills that were rotten to the core.
“Missy, if you don’t have the family head, do you think you have the right to stand here?” Dugu Xing grabbed Su Huiqing’s wrist, leaned over, and said in a low and mocking tone, “I have already reached the third level of Spirit Energy.
“Have you always thought that you could enter the training grounds with the support of the family head? Now, let me tell you how naive you are. The difference between you and us… is too great.”
Su Huiqing glanced up at her before curling her lips into an arrogant smile. Under Dugu Xing’s disbelieving gaze, Su Huiqing held her back.
She instantly reversed the situation!
Then, she clenched her fists and threw them at Dugu Xing. Even the audience could hear the sound of wind breaking. The force was so great that Su Huiqing smashed her onto the edge of the platform.
Dugu Xing, who was almost knocked out, placed one hand on the ground and looked at Su Huiqing in shock. When she met her cold pitch-black eyes, Dugu Xing could not regain her senses for a long time. She was actually defeated by a useless piece of trash?
She looked down on Su Huiqing, who had just returned home…
However, unexpectedly, she was humiliated by such a person?
How was that possible? Su Huiqing had never cultivated before. She was just a clown from a small place, a clown whom she had never placed in her heart…
How could she be so powerful?
“I will teach you a lesson for free.” Su Huiqing walked to Dugu Xing’s side and slightly leaned over. Her eyes were clear and lonely. “Don’t think that cultivators are invincible. I will tell you now that even if I don’t have any spirit energy, I can still defeat you!”
The initially lively crowd suddenly turned silent. At first, everyone thought that it was a one-sided compet.i.tion, and there was nothing to watch. They never expected it to end up like this.
The scene froze. Those mocking faces instantly froze.
A few seconds later, they couldn’t help but scream. “d.a.m.n, d.a.m.n!” At the same time, the live comments on the guard’s livestream also quickly went through a series of ‘Ahhhhh’!
In the end, someone said, ‘My King is domineering’!
Those people watching the live broadcast because of Dugu Xing couldn’t help but feel their blood boiling. They followed the comments, and in the end, the comments were filled with the words ‘King’. Instantly, their anger soared!
It wasn’t just them. The second elder’s pupils constricted. He stood up in disbelief. Even Dugu Heng watched this scene seriously, his fingers slightly tightening.
Su Huiqing didn’t even look back. At this moment, she displayed her immense explosive power and grabbed the collar of someone about to launch a sneak attack.
Before anyone could react, she casually threw the person down.
Bang!
It was as if it struck the hearts of all the students! This action was very cool. She was domineering and arrogant! She didn’t take time to react!
These people had a decent amount of spiritual energy, but because they were too impatient, there were too many flaws in their bodies.
Su Huiqing had experienced countless battles and could tell at one glance. She then looked up. Under the sunlight, everyone could see her movements. She moved her right hand, and five silver needles were reflected on her fingertips.
Everyone felt a flash of silver light in front of them.
Swoosh!
In the end, she suddenly lifted her arm!
When Su Huiqing retracted her arm and stood on the stage, the five of them landed right below! Five meters away from Su Huiqing!
Su Huiqing retracted her silver needles and glanced sideways. She was still smiling, but the smile in her eyes was blood-stained and evil.
The entire venue!
Everyone was stunned!
Su Huiqing was an ordinary person. The people on the stage were all elites of the Dugu Family. Together, even the elders would find it difficult to deal with them.
However, these people were thrown off the stage one after another by Su Huiqing.
Apollo and the rest were also watching the live-stream. Unlike the others, they had already expected Su Huiqing to win, but they never expected her to be so simple and crude.
The two of them looked at each other. After today’s live broadcast, Su Huiqing—the Missy of the Dugu Family—would truly be seen by these people.
Several lines of words flashed across the screen. This time, there were no other words. Everyone seemed to have gone crazy. Only two people were spamming ‘King’!
For an ordinary person to beat up thirty outstanding disciples, it had already overturned all their knowledge. This was a real fight. Everyone felt their blood boiling as they watched, their hearts trembling! After a moment of silence, everyone suddenly stood up with a loud thud.
What they saw was not just a compet.i.tion, but a sentence—
‘Even if I don’t have spirit energy, I can still defeat you!’
“Brother.” Dugu Jiyun released her grip and turned to look at Dugu Ji-An with unprecedented determination. “I will go to the college with you next time.”
Dugu Ji-An snapped out of his trance. He tilted his head and looked at Dugu Jiyun in surprise. “Have you thought it through…?”
“I’ve thought about it. Missy is right. I don’t wish to regret it in the future.” Dugu Jiyun looked at everyone cheering and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
In one’s life, one had to be pa.s.sionate about their own dreams. That was enough.
Dugu Jiyun looked at the person standing on the stage with a serious expression. She would never forget today. She would never forget how Su Huiqing stood on the podium and squinted her eyes to the front.
She would never forget how everyone cheered for Su Huiqing.
At this moment—like many others, she no longer saw the Dugu Family’s Missy, but a kind of faith that she wanted to believe in.
In the end, it all turned into one sentence.
Su Huiqing… she won.
Only that elegant figure was left on the stage. Su Huiqing glanced sideways at the judges and elders with deep eyes. “Can we announce the results now?”
After the judges discussed, they hesitantly gave Su Huiqing a championship. Su Huiqing glanced at the judges before getting off the stage and walking towards Dugu Heng.
Dugu Heng reached out and patted Su Huiqing’s shoulder. “Indeed, I have my style in my bones. Well done!”
“What’s so good about that?” The second elder stood up abruptly with a scornful expression. “A person who has no spirit energy from the beginning to the end is worthy of being a descendant of a n.o.ble family? And worthy of being the Missy of the Dugu Family?!”
If she had spirit energy, he would still be wary of it. However, if she didn’t have spirit energy, no matter how powerful she was in combat; there would always be an end to it. She would be stuck here for his entire life, and it wasn’t worth worrying about.
Such an ordinary person would not even be a servant, much less a Missy of the Dugu Family. Even she did not have the right to enter the ancestral hall.
However, because of Dugu Heng, she was even listed on the family tree.
Su Huiqing replied mildly, “Yes, a useless piece of trash like me. I just threw the genius you taught down from the high platform.”
The second elder’s face darkened.
Dugu Heng looked at the second elder coldly before turning to look at Su Huiqing. He had been shocked by Su Huiqing just now and felt that her talent couldn’t be wasted just like this. Thus, he said, “Qingqing, I will hire a teacher for you later to practice the Dugu Family’s cultivation techniques.”
“Training?” Su Huiqing smiled as she shifted her gaze from the second elder to Dugu Heng’s face. “I heard Dugu Xing say that she is a third-level martial artist. I will train to the fourth level to see how powerful she is.”
“Fourth level?” Before Dugu Heng could speak, the second elder could not help but sneer. The second elder could not help but feel frustrated.
Every single one of the younger generation of the Dugu Family was outstanding, but Su Huiqing was an ordinary person. If word got out, the Dugu Family would be humiliated.
“Missy, do you think cultivation is like eating and drinking?” The second elder’s words of ‘Missy’ were full of contempt. “Do you know what it takes to get to the fourth level? Xing’er’s talent has been so outstanding for more than twenty years, but she’s only at the third level.
“You’ve never cultivated before. No matter how heaven-defying your bloodline is, your cultivation speed will slow down when you’re fifteen years old. It’ll be difficult for you to reach the first level in your entire life. And you’re still aiming for the fourth level? Are you crazy, Missy?”
