MTLNOVEL Chapter 1: Beauty Is a Curse
"Lord Wei, I want to duel with you!"
In the fighting academy in the north of the king's city, a young man's roar was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, shocking the entire fighting academy.
The fighting academy does not prohibit duels. As long as both parties agree and no lives are lost, the fighting academy will not interfere. There have been several duels in the fighting academy in the past one or two years, but this time it is completely different.
In the past duels, they were all shows of young masters competing for women and showing off. This time, it is the first time that a poor warrior challenges a noble warrior.
Since ancient times, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the common people do not fight with the officials!
On the sacred continent, poor warriors and noble warriors are two completely different classes!
When countless people heard this news, their first reaction was, did Chen Sheng's brain get kicked by his donkey?
Not to mention Chen Sheng's strength at the warrior realm, how could he be a match for Lord Wei at the battle master realm? Even if you win him by despicable means and vent your anger, can you still stay in the fighting academy in the future? Although Lord Wei is not the legitimate young master of the Wei family, but the word "Wei" represents a certain power in the king's city...
After the cause of the incident spread, countless poor warriors began to pity Chen Sheng. Of course, they were also more interested in this inexplicable duel.
The duel between the two was because of a woman, Miss Wu Hui, the most beautiful woman in the fighting academy and the young lady of the Wu family.
Miss Wu Ying, who was injured by a level three mysterious beast during her training in Devil Mountain and has been recuperating for half a month. On the first day she came to the fighting academy, it seemed that her mind was also not normal.
She has always been indifferent to men. In the morning, under the eyes of the public at the gate of the fighting academy, she actually stopped Chen Sheng. Then she even asked the people of the Wu family to openly collect Chen Sheng's information?
Miss Wu Hui and the eldest young master of the Wei family, Wei Mu, have long been engaged. It is known to all in the king's city.
What Wu Hui did undoubtedly slapped Wei Mu hard. Although Wei Mu is still training in Devil Mountain, but are the people of the Wei family easy to mess with?
So Wei Gong, the cousin of Wei Mu, stood up domineeringly. He didn't dare to provoke Wu Hui. Naturally, Chen Sheng, a poor warrior, became the object of his venting...
After Wei Gong repeatedly provoked and finally directly insulted Chen Sheng's female relatives for several generations, Chen Sheng, who had only been in the fighting academy for half a year and had always been an honest person, finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a roar.
"Miss, they have gone to the small forest!"
Wu You anxiously pulled Wu Hui, who was sitting in the schoolroom and as beautiful as a flower. In fact, Wu You, a collateral disciple of the Wu family, also doubted - did Wu Hui get hurt in the brain in Devil Mountain? Otherwise, how could she do such absurd and unladylike things today?
If Chen Sheng is disabled or useless today, it's nothing. But if it spreads out, it doesn't matter to the Wei family, but the Wu family will be disgraced. Rumors can kill people!
"No one is allowed to watch and make noise. Wait... I will go and have a look!"
Wu Hui sat quietly, dressed in white, like a budding lily. She raised her eyelids and gave an order softly. But her body didn't move. In her beautiful eyes that made countless teenagers in the fighting academy fall in love, there was a hint of playfulness.
When the young lady of the Wu family gave the order, countless teenagers and girls who wanted to watch the excitement could only surround the small forest in disappointment. Waiting for Lord Wei to walk out grandly, or... waiting for Chen Sheng to crawl out covered in blood.
"Kid, some women are not something you bastards can... covet!"
In the small forest of the fighting academy, Lord Wei, dressed in brocade and with a sinister smile on his face, mocked Chen Sheng, who was wearing inferior warrior clothes and had an ordinary, even mediocre appearance. He felt very manly and domineering today. After walking out of the small forest later, there will definitely be countless women screaming for him.
Chen Sheng seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was of medium height, about 1.75 meters. Under his black warrior clothes, his figure was rather well-proportioned. His facial features were ordinary. He was the kind of person who would not be looked at a second time if thrown into a crowd.
"No one followed in?"
After he entered the forest, unexpectedly, there was not a trace of anger. Instead, he scanned the forest twice with his eyes. After confirming that there was no one watching, the corner of his mouth suddenly curved in a strange arc.
Just this arc made his ordinary face change completely.
One word, demon!
Demonic aura!
It's hard to imagine that a person's face can change so much and his temperament can completely change just because of an arc!
At first, Lord Wei was a little annoyed when he saw that Chen Sheng didn't pay attention to him. But at this moment, when he saw this demonically charming face, he was a little confused. Is this a face change? How could a person's temperament change so quickly and so greatly?
Then he felt a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from Chen Sheng's body. His face changed instantly!
This kind of aura, he had felt on many people in his family. But they were all strong people who had been through countless battles and stained their hands with countless blood. This kind of aura is called killing intent, a temperament that can never appear on a sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenager!
In the next second!
Lord Wei didn't have time to think about these anymore because Chen Sheng on the opposite side moved. Like a fierce tiger, he rushed towards him rapidly. A fist quickly enlarged in his eyes.
This is definitely not a middle-level warrior!
There was panic in Lord Wei's eyes. As a noble disciple, although his strength was not top-notch among the younger generation, he still had good eyesight. Chen Sheng's speed and the powerful force contained in the fist coming through the air were something he, a beginner battle master, knew he could never do.
"Hey!"
Although Lord Wei knew in his heart that he was bound to lose, he instinctively threw a punch to resist Chen Sheng!
"Boom!"
When the two fists collided, it was a completely different situation. Chen Sheng didn't move at all, but Lord Wei flew backward. If there wasn't a huge ancient tree more than two meters behind him, he believed he would definitely fall flat on his face.
Forty tiger powers!
There was a burning pain in his finger bones. Lord Wei knew that his right hand was temporarily disabled. He also knew more clearly that Chen Sheng's punch had forty tiger powers. In other words, Chen Sheng's strength was not that of a middle-level warrior, but... a middle-level battle master!
The levels of warriors on the sacred continent are clearly defined. A first-level fighter has one tiger power at the peak of cultivation. A second-level warrior has one to ten tiger powers. As for the battle master that Lord Wei is at, he has ten to one hundred tiger powers.
Lord Wei has twenty tiger powers. But in the test in the academy not long ago, Chen Sheng, who only had a few tiger powers, suddenly burst out with forty tiger powers. He was defeated in one move!
A poor warrior can actually train faster than a noble warrior genius!
"Impossible, impossible..."
Lord Wei was a little stunned. He knew very well that he could reach this realm today because his family spent a lot of resources to cultivate him. How could he, Chen Sheng, a poor warrior, train so quickly?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just when Lord Wei's mind was in chaos, Chen Sheng moved again. He casually waved his left hand. Then three sounds of breaking through the air rang out, completely scaring Lord Wei silly.
"Drip, drip!"
The confusion on Lord Wei's face disappeared and was replaced by panic. His face was ashen and under his expensive robe, drops of yellow liquid with a strange smell kept dripping down.
He was actually so scared that he wet himself...
Lord Wei opened his eyes wide and looked at the two flying knives that directly penetrated the ancient tree beside his ears and the third flying knife that almost disabled his private parts. He had an urge to cry.
This is not fun. He doesn't want to play anymore. He can't play with this kind of lunatic...
"Lord Wei, a collateral disciple of the Wei family. Your father is a steward in the Wei family's weapon shop. You have a younger brother who is six years old this year. Your family lives at No. 68, South Lane next to the Wei Mansion! Is this information... correct? Lord Wei?"
A cold voice rang out. Lord Wei's thoughts were pulled back by a hand that was gently patting his face. He shook his head and looked at this demonically charming face in front of him. His heart was even more terrified.
Chen Sheng actually... investigated his information thoroughly!
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded vigorously, making a trembling sound: "Chen Sheng, Young Master Xiao, I was wrong. Don't kill me! I will never provoke you again. I swear to heaven..."
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Chen Sheng slapped Lord Wei's face again and again. Looking at this young master who was like a pushover, a trace of disgust flashed in his heart. The intense killing intent in his eyes quietly disappeared. He mocked and said:
"Don't call me young master. I am just a commoner with a cheap life. I don't deserve the title of young master. A proud woman like Wu Hui, I really can't covet her and I am not interested in coveting her. Listen carefully to me - I just want to train quietly in the fighting academy and get a certificate of recognition from the fighting academy. I don't want to cause trouble and I have no intention of being an enemy of the Wei family. But if you dare to continue pestering me or let your Wei family retaliate against me in the future, I can guarantee that as long as you can't kill me, I will... kill your whole family. Understand?"
"Understand, understand, understand!"
Lord Wei nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice. He firmly believed that this teenager who was about the same age as him would definitely do what he said. Because he had seen this kind of look in the eyes of the head of the Wei family. This is a kind of decisiveness in killing and arrogance that treats human life as nothing!
"That's good. You be your young master and I live my life. Isn't it good for everyone to mind their own business? Fighting and killing for a woman is very boring, isn't it?"
Chen Sheng smiled again. His face was full of demonic aura. He easily pulled out the three flying knives from the ancient tree and put them into his wide sleeve.
"Young Master Xiao is right, right!"
Lord Wei also smiled, but it was uglier than crying. His eyes swept across Chen Sheng's wide sleeve and then shrank again. Because he saw that on Chen Sheng's wrist, there was actually a small crossbow tied. The crossbow bolt on it was still glowing with a faint light. Obviously, it was soaked in highly toxic poison...
Who the hell is this person? Is he a killer from the underground world as rumored?
Suddenly -
Before Lord Wei had time to express his shock, Chen Sheng turned his hand into a palm and grabbed his fist. Then he pulled it towards his chest. As soon as it touched his body, his body suddenly flew backward more than two meters and crashed to the ground. He cried out in panic and pain: "Ah, Lord Wei, don't hit me anymore. I promise I will never get close to Miss Bu again!"
Lord Wei was confused. What was Chen Sheng playing at again? His expression was so realistic. Could it be that he won this battle today?
When he saw Chen Sheng constantly winking at him, he suddenly woke up and his eyes swept across the small path on the left without leaving a trace. Sure enough, he saw a white figure flash and hide behind a big tree.
Wu Hui is here!
Chen Sheng really had no thoughts about her. He just wanted to quietly gain experience in the fighting academy.
Lord Wei was not stupid. He quickly guessed the trick. Of course, he was also willing to go along with this step. So he took a deep breath and kicked Chen Sheng hard. Of course... before his foot touched Chen Sheng's clothes, he immediately withdrew his strength. With knitted brows and glaring eyes, he scolded: "This will teach you a lesson. If you dare to do this again next time, I will never let you off easily!"
After saying that, Lord Wei didn't care to deal with the yellow liquid on his robe. Like a triumphant general, he walked out with his head held high and his chest out. Only his right hand hidden in his sleeve was still trembling...
Chen Sheng got up "with difficulty". His face was full of frustration and panic. His clothes were in disarray. He grimaced and staggered out.
After the two left the small forest, a graceful white figure flashed out from under a distant ancient tree. On Wu Hui's beautiful face that made countless teenagers dream, there was full of suspicion. Her beautiful eyes blinked and she murmured: "Could it be that the person who saved my life in Devil Mountain half a month ago really isn't him? But... why is this back so similar?"
