My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 299: Chapter 155: Sensation

Lin Chen shot him a look and fell silent.

”Together tomorrow?”

Qian Ruhai asked.

”...If I said no, would you still come?”

”Hahahaha... Nope.”

”...”

’Shen Han actually got challenged? Is it that guy he tested today? I wasn’t around, but I heard he’s already comprehended the Martial Arts Third Realm? Interesting... I’ll go check it out tomorrow.’

’Challenged by some hick from the Outer Mansion? Hahaha, Shen Han must be absolutely fuming right now, right? Hahaha... Of course I’m going. How could I miss a show this good?’

’Of course I’m going. It’s the perfect chance to see if Shen Han has made any progress this past year...’

In fact, they didn’t even have to wait until the next day. That very evening, the news had already reached those with the right connections.

Many of them were from the A Courtyard.

Their interest was immediately piqued.

...Of course they knew Shen Han. He was part of their circle.

Now, for him to be challenged by a hick... Something like this hadn’t happened in a long time.

Naturally, they were more than happy to watch the drama unfold.

「In the blink of an eye, a night passed.」

The morning was bright and sunny. As the sun rose higher, it bathed the Martial Arts Training Ground in a layer of Golden Light.

The place was already bustling. One by one, young men in luxurious attire appeared at the edge of the training ground. They chatted amongst themselves, and many were accompanied by their maids.

Amidst the idle chatter, someone suddenly spoke up. ”Oh, one of the main attractions has arrived.”

As soon as he spoke, all eyes followed his gaze.

They saw a young nobleman with a gloomy expression, dressed in rich clothing and flanked by two maids, appear at the Martial Arts Training Ground...

Who else could it be but Shen Han?

Feeling the mocking, amused gazes from all sides, Shen Han’s expression grew increasingly cold.

...He felt like a monkey on display for a crowd!

”Shen Han! Hahaha, I heard you were fighting today, so I rushed over here first thing in the morning. You’d better put on a good show... Hahahaha...”

someone shouted.

His words were met with waves of laughter.

The mocking stares made Shen Han’s face darken further. He gritted his teeth and glared at the young man who had just shouted.

The young man wore a flamboyant golden robe, a brilliant, exaggerated smile plastered on his face.

”Xue Yi, are you looking for a death wish?”

Shen Han’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke in a low voice.

”Whoa, you’re scaring me to death! What, you want to fight me? Fine by me. Go submit a formal challenge at Zhi Lu, and I’ll be happy to oblige. A deathmatch works too. But...”

The flamboyant young man paused, then chuckled. ”But you’d better win this match first... Put on a good show, everyone’s watching. If you lose and get demoted to the B Courtyard... now that would be a disgrace.”

Shen Han’s fists cracked, but for a moment, he was speechless.

...Clearly, this flamboyant young man was also from a Divine Family.

And it seemed there was some bad blood between them.

Shen Han grew even more furious. Part of his anger was directed at Xue Yi, but most of it was aimed at Qin Fang!

...It was just as he had suspected yesterday.

’For someone of my status, the challenge itself... is a humiliation!’

The mocking gazes all around him ignited a fierce killing intent in Shen Han’s heart, all directed at Qin Fang.

’...It’s all that hick’s fault!’

’If it weren’t for him, how could I have become their laughingstock?!’

The killing intent in his heart intensified, and his expression became increasingly grim.

And at that very moment...

”Qin Fang’s here.”

someone said.

Some of the Noble Family’s Heirs who had yet to see Qin Fang craned their necks, eager to get a look at the ”Outer Mansion Person” who dared to challenge Shen Han.

Qin Fang was still dressed in the same coarse, faded clothes. To be frank, a single glance was enough to see the vast difference between him and these young noble masters.

But Qin Fang was tall, well over six feet, which was comparable to these young masters.

Moreover, he was strikingly handsome, with fair skin and an exceptional air about him.

Even in his coarse clothes, he possessed a natural aristocratic bearing.

This took many of the onlookers by surprise.

...Aside from his clothes, Qin Fang’s bearing was enough to put many of the Noble Family’s Heirs to shame.

As soon as he stepped into the Martial Arts Training Ground, Qin Fang felt the stares. He raised an eyebrow... this was a much livelier crowd than for his previous two challenges.

In addition to the many spectators from D Building, the number of Noble Family’s Heirs had clearly multiplied.

And among them was a single gaze, so cold it felt as if it wanted to tear him limb from limb.

He turned to look, and a brilliant smile spread across his face.

...It was Shen Han.

Seeing the relaxed smile on Qin Fang’s face, Shen Han’s rage intensified. He stared daggers at Qin Fang, his eyes looking at him as if he were already a dead man.

”Kid, I’m betting on you! Teach this punk from the Shen Family a lesson, will ya!”

A voice called out. Qin Fang glanced over instinctively and saw the flamboyant young man, who was smiling and giving him a thumbs-up.

Shen Han’s gaze grew even colder.

Qin Fang looked at the flamboyant young man, a sudden smile gracing his lips, and gave him a nod.

The flamboyant young man was taken aback for a second, then returned an even more brilliant smile.

”Both combatants, to the stage.”

The Black Armored Soldier, who had been waiting for some time, spoke up.

It was Li Yao.

Besides Li Yao, there were several others. One of them, a stern-faced, middle-aged man, was looking at Qin Fang.

When Qin Fang instinctively glanced his way, the man surprised him with a gentle smile and a nod.

Qin Fang was a little surprised, but he returned the gesture with a small smile and a nod of his own.

Qin Fang mounted the stage, and Shen Han strode over as well.

...The oppressive aura emanating from him could be felt even from a great distance.

”Do you both understand the rules? Stop before causing serious injury. No malicious harm is permitted.”

Li Yao asked.

Qin Fang smiled. ”Understood.”

Shen Han said nothing, merely staring coldly at Qin Fang.

Li Yao saw that he didn’t respond but, after a moment’s hesitation, didn’t press the issue. Someone of Shen Han’s status was afforded that small privilege.

”Then, begin.”

Li Yao announced, signaling the start of the fight.

But neither Qin Fang nor Shen Han moved.

Shen Han stared coldly at Qin Fang before finally speaking, his voice slow and deliberate. ”You’ve got some nerve. You actually dare to challenge me?”
