Xia Fei's battle!
Craneshadow suddenly found it funny. Xia Fei was actually talking about conditions in such a grand manner. This was the first time in the Assassin Sect, which had strict rules, that a junior was negotiating with the sect master. Even in the long history of the Assassin Sect, such a thing had never happened before.
Craneshadow furrowed his brows. "How dare you! What do you think this is? How can Master Shadowless's dignity be questioned? Who are you to talk about conditions? "
Xia Fei pursed his lips and said, "It's only right to ask for a sky-high price. I'm not Master Shadowless's disciple yet. Even if I did become your disciple, we'll still be two separate humans. We're equals, so why can't we talk about conditions?"
Craneshadow was furious. His mind was filled with the old concept of an elder brother as a father, and he was very serious about respecting his master. Although he agreed that many of the rules in the Assassin Sect needed to be reformed, he would never agree to change the current teacher-disciple relationship. It was his principle.
As for what Xia Fei said about a teacher and disciple being equal, Craneshadow found it even more ridiculous. He was already the sect master of the Assassin Sect, yet he was still very respectful to his senior. It was the result of this traditional education.
"You've got guts! A master is more important than a father! What equality? That's outrageous! "Craneshadow was enraged.
Xia Fei smiled. "I don't have a father, but I believe my father is a human, and I'm a human, too. Since we're two humans, why can't we be equal? Since we're equal, why can't we talk about conditions? Besides, the so-called conditions are nothing more than some harmless details. "
Craneshadow wanted to say something else, but Shadowless waved his hand, signaling him to stop.
"Xia Fei, just tell me what conditions you have," Shadowless said.
Xia Fei thought for a moment and said, "Master Shadowless, my conditions are actually very simple. First, I'm very happy to be the representative of the Assassin Sect, but I still have a lot of things to deal with in other places, so I hope you can let me return to where I belong as soon as possible."
Shadowless nodded. "That won't be a problem. The Assassin Sect won't force you to stay. It's up to you whether you stay or leave."
"Then let's talk about the second condition. Master Craneshadow has given me a chance to enter Seaview Tower to pick out a secret manual, and I'm very grateful for that, but I've gotten a little too much this time. If the two of you are willing to let me keep those things, that would be wonderful," Xia Fei said.
"What is it? Do you have that big blade next to you? "Craneshadow asked.
Xia Fei nodded and explained how he got his hands on Slaughtershadow's treasures. Of course, he had edited and exaggerated the details, but he still repeated the main sequence of events. After all, if the Assassin Sect really wanted to investigate, a collapsed passageway would not be able to stop them. If he lied, he would easily give himself away, and it would not be worth it.
Craneshadow and Shadowless were shocked. The experience was as complicated as an American blockbuster. They could not help but wonder why they did not discover this secret that had been hidden for years.
Shadowless was in charge of the Assassin Sect's records, so he had a vague impression of Slaughtershadow. Xia Fei's description was exactly the same as what was recorded in the records, so he was able to dispel many of his doubts.
Shadowless smiled. "That means that these things were given to you by the Slaughtershadow Sect's sect master. Since it's a gift, there's no reason for us to take it back. You can stay here with peace of mind. When you decide to leave, we'll return the other things to you."
Craneshadow pouted. Although he was unwilling, he did not say much.
"Xia Fei, aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my words and kill you?" Shadowless suddenly asked.
Xia Fei smiled. "Master, if you really want to kill me, it's best to do it now. Otherwise, it won't be that easy when I get off the ring."
Everything was clear. Since Xia Fei was going to fight for the Assassin Sect, there was nothing to say if he lost. Losing his life to the opponent was because he was not skilled enough, but if he won, he would be the sect's hero. His name would spread in the circle, and Shadowless would have to think twice before making a move on him.
Xia Fei bowed. "I'll remember the kindness of the two masters. Master, please accept a bow from your disciple."
Since he had achieved his goal, Xia Fei kowtowed to Shadowless three times without hesitation. He was very sincere.
Shadowless helped Xia Fei up with a smile and said some words of encouragement.
Since Xia Fei was already Shadowless's disciple, it was only natural that he had a name. Shadowless pondered for a moment and said, "Since you're the descendant of Bloodshadow Master, why don't you call yourself Bloodshadow too? That way, you can comfort your ancestors in heaven."
Xia Fei did not have any objections to this, though he was secretly cursing Bloodshadow, whom he had never met before. It was hard to tell who had taken advantage of whom. If it were not for this coincidence, Xia Fei would probably not be alive today. However, Xia Fei was still somewhat unhappy that he had an ancestor placed on him out of nowhere.
Xia Fei turned around and left. Shadowless sighed. "Smart. He knows when to advance and retreat, and he knows how to make choices. He's worth teaching, but it's a shame that he grew up in the outside world. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept the monotonous life in the Assassin Sect. What a shame."
Shadowless said it was a shame three times in a row. To him, Xia Fei dared to negotiate with him because he knew when to advance and retreat, and he was able to size up the situation. Meanwhile, Xia Fei did not make any unreasonable demands and only asked for what was rightfully his, which showed that he knew how to make choices.
A smart person did not have to be determined by how much they got, but by whether they got what they wanted appropriately. If they lost their life because of greed, they would no longer be smart but extremely stupid.
Shadowless bowed to Craneshadow after he was done with what he needed to do. "Sect master, I hope you can forgive me for making a decision on my own today."
Craneshadow hurriedly said, "Senior brother, what are you talking about? I believe you must've thought it through before you made the decision. I have absolutely no objections."
Shadowless nodded and disappeared with a whoosh. He was as fast as lightning, leaving behind a dumbfounded Craneshadow with a strange expression on his face.
"Senior brother, you've been lying to me all along. Your leg isn't crippled, and you're not blind, either, "Craneshadow mumbled to himself with his eyes wide open.
…
Fangyuan was getting a little anxious as he stood in the ring. Craneshadow had been gone for more than half an hour, and the last match would not start if he did not return. Fangyuan was determined to make a contribution when he came out with Tongtian. After all, he had been cultivating hard in the sect for more than ten years, and this was his first time representing the sect.
A person's first step was very important, and it was even more so for a warrior's first battle. Whether he could make a name for himself in the world of assassins all depended on this moment.
He had already won two matches before this, which was enough for him to be in the limelight. However, Fangyuan did not think that it was enough. He wanted to put a perfect end to his first battle. Not only did he want everyone in the Assassin Sect to remember that there was someone called Fangyuan in this world, he also wanted the entire universe to know that Fangyuan's time had arrived.
He glanced at where Xia Fei was from the corner of his eyes once more. Perhaps it was because of the ferocious Bloodthirsty Screech, but Fangyuan had been paying attention to Xia Fei. His eyes would often glance in that direction, as if he had a vague feeling that this ordinary-looking young man would be a threat to him.
Fang Yuan's lips curled into a smile as he shook his fat head.
Enemy? No one in this world had the right to be called an enemy. He secretly glanced at his master, Tongtian, and saw him looking at him proudly, his eyes filled with praise.
He smiled at Xiang Tongtian in an ingratiating manner. He turned around and mumbled to himself, "Old thing, I'll trample you under my feet one day."
Xia Fei happened to come in at that moment. His sharp eyes inadvertently noticed Fangyuan's viciousness.
With a smile, Xia Fei nodded at Fang Yuan, appearing very calm.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and walked up the stairs unhurriedly. He stared straight at Fangyuan, and his eyes seemed to contain something that made Fangyuan feel uneasy. It was common knowledge that a person's anger could make others feel pressured, so why was Xia Fei able to make him feel pressured when he looked so calm?
Fangyuan could not figure it out, but Phantom understood the key to it.
"Xia Fei, you're really bad. You're already attacking his weakness."
Xia Fei smiled and said nothing. He took the Bloodthirsty Screech from Manatee and slung it on his shoulder. The Bloodthirsty Screech was more than two meters long, and its sharp edge made it look ferocious. Xia Fei, who was inconspicuous at first, had a sudden change in his aura the moment he put the saber on his shoulder. He was like a statue of an ancient god of war, looking around from a high platform far away with an unparalleled aura.
The platform was a lot shorter, after all, so Fangyuan had no choice but to look up at Xia Fei. The aura that he had accumulated from winning two battles was instantly dispersed by Xia Fei's aura. Even Fangyuan's confidence was shaken.
Soon, a Deathguard from the Assassin Sect delivered Xia Fei's Celestial Moon and spatial ring to him. The saber was already extremely ferocious, and now that Celestial Moon had a strange appearance, Xia Fei was armed to the teeth.
Fangyuan had been quietly watching Xia Fei as he changed his equipment. The preparation should have been done in the preparation room, but Xia Fei had done the opposite, exposing himself to Fangyuan's eyes.
Since ancient times, all was fair in war. Although Xia Fei had yet to find a way to defeat him, he had keenly noticed one of Fangyuan's weaknesses: he lacked the experience of being on the edge of life and death.
No matter how strong a warrior was, they would never be called a true expert if they had never experienced the dark battles. Which true expert did not climb out of a pile of corpses?
Just like Fangyuan, Smokeshadow and Merryshadow had never been through a bloodbath, so it was only natural that they could not compare to Xia Fei in terms of temperament. Furthermore, Fangyuan was stronger than them, so he had the upper hand right from the start.
Now that his opponent was Xia Fei, who had been through hundreds of battles, he of course had to use his strength to attack his opponent's weakness. Fangyuan had accumulated enough confidence after winning two battles, and Xia Fei was using his actions to tell him, "Open your eyes and take a look. You're still far from being a true warrior."
As the battle went on, the aura that Fangyuan had just built up dissipated under Xia Fei's attack, while Xia Fei's aura was improving rapidly without him realizing it.
