Chapter 173

When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes and saw an infinitely magnified face staring at him seriously. The corners of that face still had some excrement.

Zhang Xiaohu was so scared that he didn't see who it was and hurriedly hid behind. When he was far away, he realized that it was his younger brother, Zhang Xiaohua. He was holding his chin and looking at him with a playful expression.

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly touched his face and rubbed his eyes. He asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "There isn't anything on your face, but there is on your mouth."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he couldn't help but touch his mouth. He said in surprise, "How is that possible?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't directly answer his question. Instead, she said, "Second Brother, what did you dream of yesterday?"

"Dream?" Zhang Xiaohu slightly frowned and said, "No, I didn't dream of anything."

"Hehe ~, you haven't dreamed yet."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a mischievous smile, "If you didn't dream, why did I hear you call someone's name?"

"Who?

Whose name? How come I don't know? "Zhang Xiaohu was still confused. His dream was vague, how could he remember so much?

When Zhang Xiaohua heard that her second brother didn't admit it, she stood up and looked at the sunlight outside the window. She said seriously, "That's strange. This morning, someone in his dream called 'Junior Martial Sister Changge, Junior Martial Sister Changge'. Could it be me?"

Zhang Xiaohu's face suddenly turned red. He couldn't help but mutter, "This, this, is it true?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "The ancients said that a gentle and graceful woman is a good match for a gentleman.

It's nothing. "

Zhang Xiaohu's face turned red. He also didn't know what to say.

Then, he thought for a moment, clenched his teeth, and asked, "That, Xiaohua, are you familiar with Junior Martial Sister Changge?"

Zhang Xiaohua tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "I don't know anyone that well. It's just that when I went out with the Manor Lord last time, we went together. We didn't talk much and just got acquainted with each other."

"Oh, I see." Zhang Xiaohu was a little disappointed.

Zhang Xiaohua blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Although I'm not familiar with Junior Sister Changge, I'm very familiar with Hall Master Qin of Mingcui Hall."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohu was overjoyed, his eyes shining with hope.

"Of course!" Zhang Xiaohua declined to comment.

After the two brothers finished their meal, Zhang Xiaohu was familiar with his younger brother's poor sense of direction. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he followed him to Kitty Hawk Hall.

Just as they arrived at the main road in front of the hall, they ran into two acquaintances. It was Shangguan Yun and Yu Deyi. Both of them didn't look good and were in the middle of whispering something.

Zhang Xiaohu had already heard from Zhang Xiaohua last night, so he wasn't surprised to run into them here. He very naturally stepped forward and saluted them. Shangguan Yun and Yu Deyi didn't neglect him either. They had already lost their arrogance at the Lotus Escort Agency and hurriedly returned the salute. Zhang Xiaohu knew that the two's performance yesterday wouldn't be ideal, so he didn't ask any questions. After exchanging greetings for a while, he went in. It wasn't easy for the two to run into Zhang Xiaohu, so how could he be willing to let them go? Leaving Zhang Xiaohua aside, he pulled on Zhang Xiaohu's sleeve and asked him about his recent situation. He also expressed his respect for him. Only then did he ask in a roundabout way how he had caught the discerning eyes of Gang Leader Ou. Zhang Xiaohu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He only answered perfunctorily, how could he be willing to tell the truth?

Zhang Xiaohua, the instigator, was squeezed outside by the two. She was all smiles as she watched the two's performance.

After talking for a while, Zhang Xiaohu coughed twice and said, "My two dear friends, it's already late. Why don't you hurry inside and make your preparations? There will be a competition in a while.

Although you don't need to advance, this is a hard-won opportunity. You should cherish it and exchange pointers with my sect's disciples. It will be very beneficial for your future martial arts progress. "

Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhang is wrong. I didn't know before. If I had known that the martial arts competition would be so difficult, I wouldn't have come back even if you beat me to death. Yesterday, I fought three rounds, but I didn't win a single one. I don't know where my face has gone. To tell the truth, if it wasn't for Brother Yu holding me back, I would have returned to the Lotus Escort Agency yesterday."

Yu Deyi smiled and said, "Perhaps the strength of yesterday's opponent was too strong?

Wouldn't it be even more unsightly if you were to withdraw after just three rounds?

Let's wait and see today. Maybe there will be a change today. "

Shangguan Yun curled his lips and said, "Forget it. If I ran, then I ran. Who said anything about me? I didn't know either. What is there to lose face about?

If I were to be thrown out of the ring by those little kids today, that would be the real shame. "

Zhang Xiaohu heard the two say this and was even more worried for Zhang Xiaohua. When he looked back, Zhang Xiaohua was looking around and didn't seem to care. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. This little brother of his had encountered many setbacks on the road of martial arts. Being thrown out of the ring was a small matter that he probably wouldn't take to heart.

Under the urging of Zhang Xiaohu, the two martial arts masters of the Lotus Escort Agency whose self-esteem had been greatly damaged yesterday walked into the Young Eagle Hall step by step.

As usual, the entrance of the Young Eagle Hall was guarded. Zhang Xiaohua and the other two all had number plates. Zhang Xiaohua didn't need to be said. Although she was much older than the disciples of the Young Eagle Hall, her height was about the same. The guards weren't good enough to see her age, so they passed after checking.

Yu Deyi and Shangguan Yun didn't look like disciples of the Young Eagle Hall at all.

The guards naturally wouldn't let them in. Yu Deyi could only tell them their identities. Fortunately, some of the guards knew about this matter that hadn't happened for decades, so they let them in.

This small disturbance made Yu Deyi and Shangguan Yun's expressions very unhappy.

Zhang Xiaohu showed his waist token. When the guard saw the genuine waist token, he was flabbergasted. Where did this junior brother come from? Why didn't he compete at his own place during the Martial Arts Exhibition? Why did he come to the Young Eagle Hall to watch the show?

If he wanted to watch the show, then wouldn't the big arena at the entrance of the meeting hall be a hundred times more lively?

However, looking at the two foreign contestants who were much taller and older than the disciples of the Young Eagle Hall, he more or less understood what was going on.

When he entered the Kitty Hawk Hall, he saw that the square was filled with children's heads. Zhang Xiaohu could not help but laugh. What he saw was just a few people sparring, and he already felt a sense of fear. Facing so many children whose martial arts were much higher than his, if he did not have a thick heart, it would not be easy to face them!

Yu Deyi and Shangguan Yun's thoughts were understandable.

The three people's arenas weren't together, so Zhang Xiaohu naturally accompanied Zhang Xiaohua. The four people walked for a while and then cupped their hands in farewell.

When Zhang Xiaohua arrived in front of her arena, Team Leader Chang and the others were almost all present. Zhang Xiaohu was afraid that his brother would make a mistake, so he went forward to greet the two team leaders and explained his identity. When the two team leaders heard that he was the direct disciple of the sect leader, they didn't dare to be negligent and quickly cupped their hands in return.

In their hearts, they thought at the same time, "Inside story, inside story, there must be inside story."

Zhang Xiaohu and the others naturally knew that he had entered the Ethereal Sect through nepotism. But today, he had accompanied his younger brother who knew the Ethereal Steps to the Kittyhawk Hall. Anyone would have thought that there might be some unspoken rules involved!

Zhang Xiaohu didn't know that the two opposite him had thought so much in the blink of an eye. He sincerely explained to the two team leaders that Zhang Xiaohua had gone to look for him yesterday. He hadn't seen his brother for a long time, so he stayed to talk for a while. Because of the delay, he didn't ask for the room's location, so he could only stay at his place. He asked the two team leaders to bear with him.

When the two team leaders saw this, they laughed in their hearts. How could they not sell such a cheap favor?

They roughly explained the rules of the Martial Arts Exhibition. It turned out that the rules of the Martial Arts Exhibition were that many people came to the Lotus Escort Agency and Huan Xi Manor. The Misty School usually arranged food and lodging, but these two places weren't very far from the Misty Mountain Villa. Many people were still willing to return to their own residences. Therefore, the Martial Arts Exhibition didn't restrict those who had to stay at the Misty Mountain Villa. Even if Zhang Xiaohua had returned to the Huan Xi Manor last night, it was still possible.

But today, no one would go to the Huan Xi Manor to pick him up. He had to arrive at the Young Eagle Hall on time, or else he would be disqualified.

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, his heart was relieved.

Zhang Xiaohua beside him was overjoyed and said, "That's great. Then tonight we'll go to the Medicine Hall to look for Team Leader He and the others."

Zhang Xiaohu glared fiercely at him and said, "It won't be too late to talk about it after you win.

If you still don't win, how can you face Team Leader He? "

Zhang Xiaohua shrunk his neck and stuck out his little tongue, pretending to be afraid.

Not long after, the second day of the Martial Arts Exhibition officially began. According to the order of the number plates that had been arranged long ago, they went on stage one by one.

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly asked, "Xiaohua, what's your number plate?"

Zhang Xiaohua raised his number plate and said with a smile, "Number two hundred and fifty."

Zhang Xiaohu curled his lips and secretly said in his heart, "This number is really two hundred and fifty."

Then he asked again, "What about Yu Deyi and Shangguan Yun?"

Zhang Xiaohua said without hesitation, "Number two, and number one hundred and eleven."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded. Hehe, how many numbers, really two.

On the stage, the two children's fists and feet created wind as they fought. The thrilling scene made Zhang Xiaohu stunned. Was this still the martial arts of children who weren't even ten years old?

Why was it so much more powerful than the last time he saw it?

However, after thinking for a bit, he understood. The fighting outside the stage was just to compare notes on martial arts. It didn't involve any benefits. Many of the unique skills and dangerous moves might not be used. But this Martial Arts Exhibition competition really wanted to see the level of your martial arts. If he didn't show it now, when would he show it?

Therefore, even if it wasn't a life and death battle, they would still go all out and not give in the slightest.

The time it took for a stick of incense to burn passed quickly. The two people on the stage fought to a draw. Both of them were unconvinced and jumped off the stage, each taking one point.

Zhang Xiaohua's number was at the end, so just like yesterday, his match was also at the end of each round. So he also stood beside Zhang Xiaohu and watched the competition on the stage.

He didn't know how Zhang Xiaohua felt. Anyway, it wasn't just the first match. In the following seven matches, there were wins and losses, but every match made Zhang Xiaohu feel relaxed and happy. The martial arts of these children were difficult for him to reach. It could be imagined that the "depth of the bench" of this Misty School was very deep. Then he thought of the time when he and his younger brother rashly came to the Misty Mountain Villa to learn martial arts. At that time, he really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Looking at the children in front of him and thinking of himself at that time, how could they accept him?

At the same time, he felt ashamed of his inferiority and looked at Zhang Xiaohua who was watching the competition attentively. His heart was filled with endless warmth. If it wasn't for his younger brother who he watched grow up from a baby boy, how could he enter the Misty School with such a high threshold?

If he couldn't learn profound martial arts and gain a place in the Misty School where experts were everywhere, how could he face his younger brother?

Suddenly, that shame was beaten away by his pride. He didn't have time to participate in the past of the Misty School, but the future of the Misty School was in front of him. He might as well give up his inferiority complex and shame, and use his blood and sweat in exchange for unlimited hope in the future!

Just as he was thinking, he heard Captain Chang call out, "Two hundred and fifty, come on stage."

Zhang Xiaohu's heart skipped a beat. His younger brother was going to go on stage, but he didn't hold any hope in his heart. How could Zhang Xiaohua be a match for a competition that even he felt ashamed of his inferiority?

Thinking of Zhang Xiaohua's embarrassment yesterday, he thought that he would be thrown off the stage not long after going on stage. Thus, Zhang Xiaohu moved his feet, preparing to find a good place to catch Zhang Xiaohua who would be thrown off the stage.

But before he moved, he saw that Zhang Xiaohua beside him didn't move either. He couldn't help but say curiously, "Xiaohua, they're calling your number. It's your turn to go on stage."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have just made up her mind. She turned around with a bright face and said with a smile, "Second Brother, come over and help me with something."

Zhang Xiaohu asked curiously, "Help?

What can I help you with? Don't tell me you want me to help you go on stage? "

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly waved his hand. Not to mention whether Kittyhawk Hall was willing or not, even if they agreed, he couldn't go up and embarrass himself!

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to go on stage. I'm asking you to help me get on stage."

"Help you get on stage?"

Zhang Xiaohu was a little puzzled, but when he saw Zhang Xiaohua's opponent use a beautiful qinggong to leap onto the stage, he suddenly understood. With such a high stage, if no one helped, Zhang Xiaohua really wouldn't be able to go up.

Zhang Xiaohu asked, "Then how can I help you?

How did you go up yesterday? "

Zhang Xiaohua looked askance at the two team leaders and said, "Yesterday, Captain Chang threw me up. The first time, he actually threw me to the other side of the stage. Today, I can't let him help me.

Second Brother, help me. Just use your strength to throw me up! "

"Use my strength?" Zhang Xiaohu was greatly embarrassed.

Brother, you're my blood related brother. You can't harm people like this. You know that my internal strength isn't good, but you still want me to help you!

Aren't you making me lose face?

You could have just let the team leader throw me, why did you change the rules!

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohu still didn't move, Zhang Xiaohua was a little anxious. She tugged on his sleeve and said, "It's okay, Second Brother. You can just throw me. Even if you throw me like yesterday, I won't blame you."

Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to bite his ear and explain the situation. When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she frowned and said in the same voice, "So it's like this, Second Brother. So your internal strength hasn't reached that level yet. What should I do?"

Zhang Xiaohu was so angry that he almost wanted to cover Zhang Xiaohua's mouth with one hand and choke him to death with the other. Can't you be a little quieter?

Can't you see that when I'm talking to you, I'm leaning close to your ear?

Zhang Xiaohua didn't care about other people's gazes. After thinking for a bit, she said, "How about this, Second Brother. Do you still remember when we used to steal bird eggs when we were young?"

Zhang Xiaohu was even more anxious. Why are you talking about stealing bird eggs now? He said in a bad mood, "I remember. What about it?"

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Then it's just like before. Can't I just stand on your shoulder?"

Zhang Xiaohu rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "No!

Can't I ask the team leader to go easy on you again? "

Zhang Xiaohua stubbornly shook her head.

Zhang Xiaohu saw that he couldn't win against her and could only accompany her to the front of the stage. The stage was about the height of a person. Zhang Xiaohua stood on Zhang Xiaohu's shoulder and her hands just happened to be placed on the edge of the stage. She only saw Zhang Xiaohua's hands exerting force and her small figure flew into the air with a "peng" sound. She then flipped a few hollow somersaults in the air before floating down to the ground.

Zhang Xiaohua, this brat, had the intention of showing off. What a joke. This young master didn't know qinggong. But this qinggong movement and qinggong techniques had been learned for two days. If she didn't use them, wouldn't others look down on her?

Zhang Xiaohua's qinggong came from the Ethereal Steps. She also wanted to show off. Her posture was naturally graceful and elegant. When this brat leisurely landed on the ground, the crowd came back to their senses and thought, "What are you doing?"

If you had used your Qing Gong from below the stage, everyone would have clapped their hands and praised you. However, looking at Zhang Xiaohu, who was gloomily walking back to the stage and trying to find a good angle to catch Zhang Xiaohua, how could they still praise you?

Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes and waited for a long time. Not hearing the sound of clapping, she was very puzzled. At this time, she heard the child opposite her say, "This senior brother, are you feeling unwell? You've already closed your eyes for a long time."

Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes gloomily. It seemed that the performance just now was a waste. No one appreciated it. Her song was too high to be deceived.

So she said in a bad mood, "Can't you see that I'm resting?

Wait a moment more. "

In fact, Team Leader Chang, who was below the stage, had the same thoughts as him. The only difference was that Team Leader Chang thought, "This Ethereal Steps movement technique is so miraculous. Even a person who has never practiced Qinggong can move so gracefully. If I were to practice it, what would happen?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaohu who was not far away. He thought, "This brat actually did not practice any internal cultivation technique. I wonder what kind of divine martial arts he practiced. Looks like I should have a good relationship with him."

Team Leader Chang saw Zhang Xiaohu's unnatural expression and his eyes moved. He pulled over a disciple who had just competed and whispered a few words to him.

That disciple was puzzled. He turned back to look at Zhang Xiaohua on the stage and quickly ran away.

As for Zhang Xiaohu, he waited for Zhang Xiaohua to step on his shoulder and onto the stage before he slowly left the stage. He stole a glance at the people below the stage who had an expression of "we don't know this person". He secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead. Sigh, how embarrassing. Luckily there weren't many people here!

Just as he was thinking, he heard someone beside him say, "Senior brother Zhang Xiaohu, what were you doing just now?"
