"Do you want this knife?" Vice Captain Huang tapped the blade and chuckled. "If you really win against me, my position is yours. Of course, I'll hand over this measly knife. I just don't know where you get the confidence to think that living with her means you're on her level."

Zhao Changhe didn't argue and smiled faintly. "Please teach me."

Outside the courtyard, a group of disciples watched solemnly, and the atmosphere became tense.

It wasn't rare to have a Xuan Guan level one warrior challenge a level two warrior, but did a novice who had only practiced for a little over a month really possess this kind of ability to challenge beyond their level?

Zhao Changhe had the confidence to fight. He was no longer ignorant like when he first arrived in this world. He knew that at the low martial level he was at, there was no qualitative difference between Xuan Guan level one and two. The latter only had greater strength, faster reactions, and a larger range of motion. He compensated for this difference by practicing internal skills, and the opponent didn't know about it, which gave him the advantage.

The real challenge was how to use his internal skills while hiding them from being discovered...

Moreover, practice makes perfect. Zhao Changhe had been fighting in the mountain stronghold every day and had fought with many senior disciples. He had earned the nicknames "Zhao Boss" and "Little Tyrant." He had enough practical experience. Looking at Vice Captain Huang, who had been lounging around and drinking flower wine in the city, he wondered how much courage he had left to fight.

Yue Hongling could challenge beyond her level, and Luo Qi had already made a name for himself in the world. If he didn't dare to try, he might as well go home and farm. Why should he be with these people on the rivers and lakes?

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath and stepped forward, taking the lead.

The long knife slashed through the space in front of him, and people only saw a flash of the blade, a surge of blood, and the bright red blade edge had already reached Vice Captain Huang's left neck.

"What a fast knife!" Many people were shocked.

"Just from this move alone, who would think he's only been practicing for a little over a month?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if he's been practicing for three years..."

"Is there really such a genius in the world? And they live together too..."

Their thoughts only lasted for a moment. On the other side, Vice Captain Huang's expression was also extremely serious. He was also shocked by the speed of this knife. He instinctively dodged to the right and tried to block with his steel knife on the left, attempting to use his higher level of cultivation and the crushing weight of his knife to break through Zhao Changhe's attack.

Once he exposed his weakness, the victory or defeat would be decided.

The Vice Captain sighed heavily with a solemn expression. "Old Huang's momentum was taken away. I shouldn't have been so passive..."

As he spoke, Zhao Changhe's seemingly unstoppable attack suddenly stopped in mid-air. Vice Captain Huang's knife came down heavily, but it was like cutting through cotton. Zhao Changhe's knife slid past the side of his knife and slid towards his wrist.

"This is indeed a move in the Bloodthirsty Knife Technique, but hardly anyone uses it, right?"

"The Bloodthirsty Knife Technique has many intricate changes that are not easy to master. Most people give up on these moves."

"So, how long has he really been practicing?"

"The control of such a move is like using your fingers, can he really have only practiced for a little over a month?" The same thought flashed through Vice Captain Huang's mind as he urgently withdrew his knife.

But he found that this retreat had exposed his weakness.There seemed to be a smile on Zhao Changhe's lips as he kicked Vice Leader Huang in the stomach without any hesitation.

This kick did not reveal the intricacies of the previous change in sword technique. The unrivaled Bloodthirsty Qi erupted violently, and Vice Leader Huang felt as if his Double Bloodthirsty Qi was as weak as a white silk, unable to withstand this completely homogeneous power. He was kicked several zhangs away like riding on clouds and fog, crashing heavily into the courtyard wall and falling to the ground.

"Cough... give me the Blood-fixing Pill... my Bloodthirsty Qi was disturbed by him..."

The scene was silent.

The same Bloodthirsty Qi and Bloodthirsty Sword Technique, the first level defeated the second level, and they only exchanged three moves!

Vice Leader Huang had not even found an opportunity to attack!

Even Zhao Changhe himself did not expect it to be so simple. He did not even use his inner strength... what Master Fang said was right, the refinement of sword technique was indeed as important as cultivation.

The sword that was practiced a thousand or even three thousand times every day finally bloomed with a dazzling brilliance in this world.

Zhao Changhe pointed his sword horizontally, "Vice Leader Fang, did I win this challenge?"

Looking at the blood-colored and ferocious eyes caused by the activation of Bloodthirsty Qi, Fang Ping was actually a little scared when he was pointed at by the sword. He always felt that this violent man would chop him with a single sword.

He took a deep breath and tightly held the armrest of the lounge chair, "Not bad. According to the rules of the sect, Vice Leader Huang's duties will be yours from today."

Zhao Changhe laughed loudly, "Good. As the Vice Leader in charge of money and grain, you have the right to speak in the allocation of money and grain. Wang Dashan!"

Wang Dashan was trembling with fear, "I'm... here."

"You're not small, you are also my Vice Leader. Speak louder!" Zhao Changhe pointed his sword towards the warehouse, "Take a few brothers and get three hundred taels of silver, three carts of millet, and take away half of the meat to support the construction of Beinang Mountain Bandit. Be careful not to take everything. Leave some for the brothers in the city. Don't be stingy and not know how to be a person."

Fang Ping's face turned green.

Zhao Changhe walked to the courtyard wall and fed Vice Leader Huang a Blood-fixing Pill, "Zhao has been entrusted by Master Xue to manage Beinang Mountain Bandit. Vice Leader Huang will still be in charge of the money and grain of this branch. "

At this moment, Zhao Changhe had more than just the Blood-fixing Pill he deliberately left behind in his pocket. There were seven or eight pills, which were given to him by Master Sun before he left. Vice Leader Huang did not expect that Zhao Changhe, not Fang Ping, was the one who solved his problem first. He was silent for a while after taking the pill, then said in a low voice, "Thank you. The sword is yours."

He looked like a bandit, but he was still straightforward. Zhao Changhe didn't be polite with him either, took the thick steel sword, waved it a few times, and hung it on his waist. He turned around and hugged the stack of books from earlier, and said to Fang Ping with a smile, "If there are no other orders from the leader, I will take my leave."

Fang Ping took several deep breaths. If he wasn't injured now, he would probably cut Zhao Changhe in half regardless of the consequences. However, he was now so injured that he was unable to get out of bed. What he was afraid of was that Zhao Changhe would cut him in half regardless of the consequences. Judging from the swift and fierce sword light just now, others would probably not even have time to rescue him.

He suppressed his anger and maintained a calm tone, "Master Zhao is brave and heroic, and it is fortunate for the sect to have you as a great general. However, since you have joined the sect, some rules still need to be clarified with Master Zhao."

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

"Please speak, Vice Leader.""The mountain stronghold is not your personal property, but a branch seeking resources for the faction. This is true no matter where you go. If there is any profit from the mountain stronghold, half of it should be used for yourselves, and the other half must be handed over to the faction. If you capture government soldiers or righteous sect members, you cannot deal with them on your own. You must bring them back to me for judgment. Zhao, the leader of the stronghold, must be aware of these matters. Otherwise, if it causes trouble and reaches the headquarters, the Four Elephant Sect won't help you. Our internal affairs in the Blood God Sect are autonomous."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "I understand that. But if we really capture government soldiers or righteous sect members, I hope the faction can provide some support."

"Of course." Fang Buping didn't want to see Zhao Changhe's sunny face anymore and waved his hand in disgust. "You can go now."

Zhao Changhe looked at Wang Dashan and the others who were pushing a cart in the distance and waved his hand. "Brothers, let's go back to the mountain!"

At that moment, the sky flashed with golden light.

It was rare for the Chaos Chronicles to continuously flash within less than a quarter of a moment. Almost everyone in the world looked up to see which list was changing this time.

It turned out to be the lowest-ranked list, the Hidden Dragon List.

"In the twelfth lunar month and the beginning of the first solar term, Zhao Changhe, Xuan Guan First Level, defeated Xuan Guan Second Level within three moves. He has great potential."

"New addition to the Hidden Dragon List."

"Rank 250 on the Hidden Dragon List, Zhao Changhe."

That was it. The ranking was quite ridiculous, and there was no comment like Yue Hongling and Xia Chichi's. It seemed that they were not taken seriously.

After all, it was just a low-level game of the first and second levels of Xuan Guan. It was not uncommon for others to surpass this level. Winning within three moves was considered rare. In fact, being on the Hidden Dragon List was not a good thing. If their strength was not enough, they would be jealous and often wouldn't survive for long.

Most people took a glance and didn't care, at most feeling that the name Zhao Changhe sounded familiar...

Thousands of miles away, in a secret place, Xia Chichi opened her eyes from her meditation and looked up at the sky, a charming smile on her lips.

"You chased after me to get on the list, is there something you want to remind me of? Is this how we compete for rankings? Hehe."

"In fact, I knew long ago that no matter how late we started, we would have a place in the Chaos Chronicles that shines in the sky."

"Being on the Hidden Dragon List is not the end. The Heaven, Earth, and Human Lists are waiting for us."

Summer is here, what are you waiting for?

She is Xia Chichi, and Zhao Changhe is no different.

In a certain place in the city, Yue Hongling stood at the top of a tall building, quietly watching Zhao Changhe's figure in the distance, directing his subordinates to transport goods.

One day, Zhao Changhe's words suddenly flashed through her mind: "I, Zhao Changhe, did not come to this world just to wander in the countryside."
