Chapter 489: Chapter 489: This is the End Result of Showing Off_1
Zhang Xian glanced at Han Xiangyu with a faint smile, but did not speak.
There were many things that this young lady didn’t know, and her understanding was far below Old Man Han’s. Among the people present, only Old Man Han would believe what he said.
Without exposure, you wouldn’t know how powerful those legends were. Only Old Man Han knew what kind of person his master was and what heights he had reached.
"Girl, you don’t understand," Old Man Han smiled and looked at the people fighting. "Actually, these kids are not bad, they are the elites I selected. When I first took over the Skynet team, it was a ss filled with trash. Now, I am proud of them, they are also the pride of our Huaxia."
Zhang Xian nodded, "Indeed, they have beco your pride, what else can I say?"
"Grandfather, what do you an by that? What do you an I don’t understand?" Han Xiangyu pouted. "How great can he be with his looks?"
Old Man Han stroked Han Xiangyu’s beautiful hair but did not explain, "Don’t dwell on that now, you should use this opportunity to learn. Your strength is far behind."
Han Xiangyu glanced at Zhang Xian and turned her attention to the battle.
Compared to the masters in the group, her strength indeed had a big gap, even though she was often diligently taught by her grandfather.
"Leader..."
Suddenly, Cao Jianxin walked over and smiled, "Is this our new little brother from Skynet?"
"Yeah, he just arrived recently, his na is Zhang Xian," Old Man Han replied, with his brows furrowed.
Cao Jianxin’s relationship with the Cao Family was deep, even though he was not a direct descendant of the Cao Family, he was still considered half a Cao Family mber. His sudden appearance and direct enquiry about Zhang Xian implied that he might be up to no good.
As a mber of Skynet, he strictly prohibits infighting, and the team mbers had always behaved well. But this ti, there might be so issues between Zhang Xian and Cao Jianxin.
Of course, he was already contemplating action against the Cao Family, so he did not stop them. Now, he had essentially abandoned Cao Jianxin.
"Anyone who can enter Skynet must have extraordinary abilities," Cao Jianxin smiled. "Little brother, I don’t have an opponent right now, why don’t we practice together?"
Zhang Xian said, "Not interested."
"Uh..." Cao Jianxin didn’t expect Zhang Xian to reject him so directly and was left speechless for a mont.
Han Xiangyu was sowhat annoyed by Zhang Xian’s arrogance and scornfully said, "Hey! Zhang Xian, aren’t you very powerful? Why don’t you go up? Don’t tell
you’ve been bluffing all along."
"Alright! I was bluffing. Are you happy now?" Zhang Xian smirked. He turned his head towards Cao Jianxin and said, "Brother, there are many masters in Skynet, each one stronger than the last. I’m just a newcor. How could I dare to show off in front of you? You’d better find soone else to spar with. We’re not well matched."
"No problem, I can give you so pointers." Cao Jianxin confidently smirked.
In his view, Zhang Xian was scared. With his adequate strength, he was full of confidence. Dealing with a little guy would not be a problem.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Han felt exasperated.
Zhang Xian was really good at acting arrogant, leaving even Cao Jianxin believing his act. Not to ntion giving Zhang Xian pointers, whether Cao Jianxin could withstand one move from Zhang Xian was still a question. This guy had unknowingly been drawn into Zhang Xian’s spiral, and if he continued, he would be thoroughly humiliated.
"Brother Xin, shall we practice?" Suddenly a young man rushed over.
A middle-aged man accompanied the young man. They had just had a practice match with each other and pointed out each other’s weak points. Now they wanted to switch opponents and have a few more matches to find more areas for improvent.
"I am currently educating a newcor!" Cao Jianxin laughed: "You guys continue your practice."
The young man was surprised to see Zhang Xian was even younger than him, "Are you the new mber? You managed to enter Skynet at just 24, you must be very strong. Why don’t we practice together?"
Zhang Xian chuckled, "You already know that I’m only 24, so you must also know that I’m not a match for you guys, right? Practising with you would be asking for a beating, wouldn’t it?"
"It doesn’t matter, I’ve been through the sa thing," the young man was eager for a fight. "Co on, co on, without a good beating from others, how can you improve and breakthrough? I was seriously tornted in the beginning."
Old Man Han laughed and said, "This kid’s na is Xiaolong, he’s aggressive and ambitious. Why don’t you give him so pointers?"
Zhang Xian could tell that Xiaolong indeed was aggressive and quite free-spirited. However, he had no intention of giving pointers. He had always disliked doing this.
He occasionally gave pointers to those he randomly encountered. In such an occasion, with many masters around, it would feel awkward for a little guy like him to step up, wouldn’t it?
Although the masters would undoubtedly be awed by his strength afterwards, he felt it was better to remain low-key. Excessive high-profile would bring about all sorts of trouble.
"You see, even the team leader has spoken, it wouldn’t seem right if you continue to refuse. If you don’t want to practice with
for fear that I’ll take advantage of my seniority, you can try with Xiaolong first. He is the weakest among us in Skynet, the gap between the two of you shouldn’t be too big," Cao Jianxin said.
Now, what he wanted to do was to probe Zhang Xian’s strength. If Zhang Xian doesn’t make a move, how can he probe? This guy must make a move.
Xiaolong scratched his head and smirked.
Ever since he joined Skynet, he was always the one getting trashed in every exchange eting. It was a rare occurrence to have soone younger than him, and he wanted to try and see what it felt like to trash others.
"Not interested." Zhang Xian still shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Cao Jianxin was sowhat annoyed. What was with this guy, why couldn’t he just play along?
Old Man Han was a bit upset to see that Zhang Xian was unwilling to make a move.
If Zhang Xian were not powerful, he could reprimand him a few tis and accuse him of not striving to improve. But the man was already a master in his own right, thus he couldn’t find a reason for Zhang Xian to demonstrate his skills.
When they first sought out that old master, his cryptic words made him very curious about Zhang Xian’s strength. However, the man has remained steadfast in his refusal to strike, much to Old Man Han’s annoyance.
"Why are you all just standing here?" A little while later, more mbers who had finished their sparring ca over.
Seeing a group of people standing around motionless, one of them, driven by curiosity, asked,"Ti waits for no one, we need to remain diligent! We’ve only just begun, why are you all slacking?"
"We wanted this newcor to showcase his skills, but it seems like he looks down on us and is unwilling to spar." Cao Jianxin stirred up trouble for Zhang Xian.
The man turned to look at Zhang Xian and asked skeptically, "Really? Little brother, are you that confident?"
Zhang Xian wiped his nose and laughed, "No, it’s not that I’m confident. it’s that I don’t stand a chance against you guys, so all I can do is stand here and watch."
"Uh..." the man said, "Little brother, we are here to spar, not for war. If you don’t even dare to spar, how can we talk about completing missions? Don’t play us please?"
Cao Jianxin glared at Zhang Xian and said, "Co on, show us what you got."
"Oh Zhang Xian, you think you’re sothing special, don’t you?" Han Xiangyu couldn’t stand it anymore. "You’re acting all prissy like a woman!"
Zhang Xian hesitated, then turned to look at Cao Jianxin, asking, "Do you really want to spar with ?"
"In one word, are you coming or not? Be decisive." Seeing that Zhang Xian had finally taken the bait, Cao Jianxin smirked.
Although the competition was supposed to be friendly, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to bully Zhang Xian. As long as he controlled his power, he could still humiliate Zhang Xian quite handsoly.
"Alright then!"
With a bitter smile, Zhang Xian stepped out of the crowd.
"You make the first move." Cao Jianxin moved a bit, looking extrely pleased with himself.
As long as Zhang Xian stepped up, he would be able to fully execute his plan. With that, he could make a fortune. Right now, his feelings were far beyond just happy. He was extrely excited, almost dancing and singing with joy to express his excitent.
"Why don’t you make the first move instead!" Zhang Xian said, "I’m afraid that if I strike first, you won’t have a chance."
Cao Jianxin was taken aback, asking, "What do you an?"
The others looked confused as well. He had just said that his strength was insufficient, why was he seeming so arrogant now? Warning him that if he didn’t strike first, he would have no chance. was he planning to completely overpower Cao Jianxin?
"As I said, you make the first move. Did you not understand?"
"You..." Cao Jianxin’s mouth twitched unnaturally, saying, "Are you trying to make
look like the bad guy picking on the newcor?"
Zhang Xian noticed Cao Jianxin had no intention of attacking, so he suddenly dashed forward and swung a slap harshly.
Cao Jianxin was still laughing smugly, looking extrely contemptible.
Just when he was at his most proud, a palm suddenly slapped him across the face. The slap was so swift, it was as if it had crossed a distance suddenly and slapped him from sowhere else.
"Slap..."
Before Cao Jianxin could react, he was sent flying by the slap.
"Uh..."
The onlookers were dumbfounded, watching in disbelief as Cao Jianxin was sent flying. Just what did it an to send a post-acquired peak master flying with a slap? Was the slapper an innate level master?
If Zhang Xian were any older, it wouldn’t be as surprising. But this guy was only in his early twenties!
"How...how can this be possible..." Cao Jianxin briefly lifted his head to look at Zhang Xian, then blissfully passed out.
Zhang Xian wiped his nose, saying, "I didn’t want to strike at first, but so jerks just have to act arrogant, showing off around here. They just don’t know what’s good for them."
"This guy is really arrogant..." So people were starting to get dissatisfied.
Zhang Xian had initially acted weak, but once he stepped into the ring, he was incredibly strong. This made them feel like they had been fooled. Moreover, Zhang Xian’s words were highly sarcastic.
Of course, no matter how angry they were, they didn’t dare to step forward. Today, not even one innate master was present in their Skynet team, as they were all carrying out a classified mission.
"You all shouldn’t need to spar with , right?" Zhang Xian turned to look at the others.
The crowd lowered their heads, not daring to et Zhang Xian’s gaze. He was clearly superior to them in terms of skill, so despite their frustration, they had no choice but to swallow it. This guy was actually an innate master.
No wonder Zhang Xian had been framing their team leader before, but the leader never got angry. As an early twenty-sothing innate master, Zhang Xian truly had the right to be arrogant, he was far beyond their league.
