Chapter 21
That was the instinct of warriors. Of course, part of the reason was that Lu Xuan had not gone out of his way to conceal his presence. Otherwise, with what he could do, it would be a piece of cake for him to make it so that not a single soul could tell that he practiced cultivation.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. A group of youths in TaeKwonDo uniform walked in as they took massive strides, holding their heads high and proud.
“They’re here!”
Someone shouted from the crowd, which immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Everyone turned to look at their visitors, only to see the members of the TaeKwonDo club. The one leading them was a good-looking young man with dyed, blonde hair. He was slightly feminine with a dash of makeup.
He looked like one of the trendy flower boys.
1“Knew it. He looked like a sissy. I can’t stand it when men put on makeup!” Ling Fei looked utterly disgusted.
“You’re courting death!” Zhang Gang was enraged. He bellowed and pounced on him with great force.
“That gorilla’s so ugly!”
One of Park Ji Hyun’s fangirls yelled out loud, and Zhang Gang almost tripped over himself. Luckily, he caught himself before he fell onto the ground.
Zhang Gang got even redder with anger. The world was too cruel to those who weren’t good-looking. He wasn’t ugly either, yet he was called a gorilla by a stranger. That made no sense at all!
1Zhang Gang’s moves were ferocious and steel-like, his hands lashing out like the claws of an eagle. When he fought, he looked like an eagle spreading its wings.
His opponent, Park Ji Hyun, kept making flashy moves as they exchanged blows. The fight was close and tight, and they seemed to be evenly matched.
“Ah, it’s the Eagle’s Claw!” Lu Xuan commented silently. The sect that both Li Fei and Li Gang belonged to likely practiced the Eagle’s Claw. Li Fei was kicked to the ground before he could use it, and so it was only when Zhang Gang went into the match that they could finally witness the prowess of this martial art.
“That sissy’s that strong?” Ling Fei’s cherry lips parted in visible surprise, mildly taken aback.
“That is only normal. While most of TaeKwonDo looks showy and flowery, they must have something of value that made them the national martial art of Korea. However, it was also true that what most people learn in TaeKwonDo Gyms are nothing more than showy and flowery moves!”
Lu Xuan paused and evaluated, “That Park Ji Hyun should have gotten a true education in TaeKwonDo. No wonder he was that prideful!”
“Senior Zhang can beat that Park Ji Hyun, right?”
Ling Fei was a little worried about how things might go south.
On the arena, the fight was getting heated by the second. Be they the students of the Martial Arts Gym, or the members of the TaeKwonDo club, they all felt as if they were introduced to a much broader world. So it was possible to fight like that as well. What they saw in front of them was a match much more aggressive than what they would usually see.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, “He can’t win. If we simply compare their capabilities, they should be around the same level. I assume that you have heard about the nine-level system of cultivators? Both of them are around the third level of AnJin.

“However, apart from being a warrior, that Park Ji Hyun was also an Awakened. Look at his legs. When he kicks them, it’s like he struck a whip. For him to hold up against the two arms of Zhang Gang, hammered by years of training, and even gain the upper hand, he should have awakened some sort of powers in his legs!” Lu Xuan’s expression was calm as he crossed his arms.
“An Awakened? What do you mean by an Awakened?”
