Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King

Chapter 206: Outshining All Rivals the Banquet Prelude


Wangzhen Building was filled with heroes.

Li Xian pushed open the grand door and saw Bi Chunfu lying on the ground, blocking the way. He called out twice, but seeing no response, he lightly exercised his Palm Power to move him aside. Turning back, he said, "Madam, please enter."

Madam Wen nodded.

At the Grand Dragon Feast, there was a banquet without dishes. This Dragon Claw Town was an important hub, with heroes gathered and a lively atmosphere. The two of them had traveled a long way and were slightly late on arrival.

The first floor had dozens of seats and was spacious. Eight Immortals tables, desks, and tea tables were all occupied. Inside, carved beams and painted rafters, it was bustling. Jianghu masters were gathered under one roof, all eyes were on the two at the door.

Li Xian looked around and saw it was overcrowded. He casually asked, "Madam, it's full. Should we find another place?"

He silently criticized, thinking that this street was overcrowded. The Madam usually preferred tranquility and disliked crowded places, but today was quite unusual.

The heroes on the first floor, hearing "Should we find another place?" did not know that Li Xian was unfamiliar with Jianghu rules. They assumed he was startled by their presence, scared witless, unwilling to ask for a seat, and looking for an excuse to leave quickly.

They burst into laughter:

"Wonderful, wonderful, today there have been many who failed to get a seat and slinked off, but it's the first time I've seen such a coward who opened the door and didn't even dare to ask for a seat."

"Old Dragon invited you here, yet you lost your courage. Truly unlucky, truly unlucky."

"Boy, don't you take your Madam and get out of here quickly!"

"Get out!"

Amidst the laughter, the final "Get out" was powerful, carried with intense Power, and harbored a murderous intent aimed to blast Li Xian out.

Madam Wen took a step forward, flicking her sleeve. The killing power ceased immediately, and the noise briefly subsided.

Madam Wen gently instructed, "In Jianghu, there are rules to follow. Though the seats here are full, one must seek them for oneself. You're new to Jianghu, unfamiliar with such customs, but it's no matter. Watch how I act, and learn well."

Li Xian said, "Yes."

The heroes then said, "So it's just a little kept man, while the truly formidable one is his Madam. No wonder he's such a coward."

"Good Madam... how about you sit on my lap? This kid only has looks, so lacking in manly spirit compared to someone like me!"

"Hahaha, my legs may be soft, but my prowess is hard. Sit here, and I'll guarantee your satisfaction."

The Jianghu folks spoke lustfully and indecently. Their words were salacious, clearly bullying the woman. Wen Caishang had long been absent from the Jianghu, as the Hero List and Flowers List had been updated, her name already faded.

Thus, no one present recognized her face. Many had never seen or heard of her before.

The insults were mostly aimed at Li Xian, but his expression remained calm, unfazed.

Madam Wen slightly raised her hand, supported by Li Xian as she stepped forward. She was well versed in the rules of Jianghu and understood the role of the entrance of this place. The surrounding teasing and mocking were loud, and if it were any other day, she would teach each of them a lesson in person, take immediate revenge. But she really had no interest in exerting herself on the first floor—it was quite boring. She intended to proceed directly upstairs.

Suddenly, a roar was heard: "Boy, was it you who pushed me just now!?"

Bi Chunfu had already recovered from his injuries, but his body was covered in blood, as if a layer of flesh had been peeled off.

Li Xian said, "Hero, I didn't know what was going on as you lay blocking the way. If I hadn't pushed you aside, I couldn't have entered. Please forgive me."

"You're asking for death!"

Earlier, Bi Chunfu had lost face, was rash and easily angered. Desperately seeking a chance to regain his prestige to avoid being laughed at in the future, he saw that Li Xian was young and his Madam was a woman. He thought, "I'll attack suddenly with my best skills and win beautifully. Others naturally won't mention what happened just now."

Therefore, he launched an aggressive attack, brewing a killing force with his palm. All eyes focused on him, curious to watch.

Li Xian drew his sword, standing vigilant. Madam Wen flicked her sleeve, drawing her sword, the tip slanting upwards, neither stabbing, pushing, nor hacking...just hanging quietly, awaiting an attack, ready for anyone willing to take the bait.

Bi Chunfu raised his palm to strike, not taking it seriously. But when he got within ten feet, he suddenly felt as though the sky and earth were overturned. He was about to crash into the sword.

Seeing himself about to be pierced, he instantly executed a Lightweight Skill, attempting to draw back. But it was too late. At the moment he got close, he was like a fish caught on the hook, a rabbit crashing into a tree. The Invisible Sword Momentum confined all his retreats tightly, forcing him toward the sword, almost making him commit suicide!

Cold sweat ran down Bi Chunfu's face as he realized the huge gap, pondering strategies. He discovered there was a clear flaw within the Sword Momentum.

He could avoid the fatal blow.

But it would require him to kneel.

Bi Chunfu hesitated for a moment, then with a "thump," dropped to his knees. His will to fight was gone, filled with fear and panic. Though he avoided the sword, he was already at her mercy. With just a gentle swing of her sword, Madam Wen could slice his neck, leaving him with no escape.

Among the crowd of strong individuals, their Martial Arts Mastery and Martial Arts Cultivation were not shallow.

However, not having personally experienced it, they did not understand the danger. In their view, it was only: Bi Chunfu sent out a palm, Madam Wen drew her sword from her sleeve, suspended in mid-air. Bi Chunfu's body swayed left and right, suddenly kneeling and kowtowing fearfully.

Madam Wen withdrew her sword, not caring to cut his head, thinking it troublesome if the sword was stained with blood.

The mocking and jesting voices notably decreased.

Walking straight to a certain place.

Madam Wen glanced at someone in a corner and sent out a palm from afar, thrusting it lightly. The Qi wave was overwhelming, and the strength of her Palm Force was astonishing, leaving everyone in awe.

That person bled from all seven orifices and collapsed on the ground. Madam Wen said, "It was him just now who secretly used the Bell Shocking Technique, attempting to kill you on the spot. Hmph, I'll return the favor. Whether he lives or dies depends on his fate."

Li Xian looked over. That person convulsed, all five internal organs shattered, teeth falling out one by one—it was truly a miserable sight.

The heroes on the first floor fell silent.

The Madam walked gracefully, her skirt swaying, naturally attracting the eyes of the others to follow her.

He stepped onto the second floor staircase.

The crowd wondered, "Manor Master of Mooncatcher, why did you suddenly kneel? Did you see that lady's beauty and want to win her smile?"

"This method of yours, won't work at all. She doesn't even spare you a glance."

"Speaking of which, that lady indeed has some strength. That palm strike just now, the palm force was mighty, the inner qi surging. On the first floor, only 'Iron Wind Palm' can achieve that."

His words were polite.

Bi Chunfu said, "You lot understand nothing, it's not just strength, it's truly formidable!"

"That sword just now looked ordinary, yet I've simulated it a hundred times in my heart and couldn't avoid it. Only by dropping to my knees could I find a way to survive."

"If I'm not mistaken, this woman... surely can hold middle seats, possibly upper seats!"

The others were startled and said, "Manor Master of Mooncatcher, are you losing and praising the enemy's worth?"

"Yes, not to mention upper seats, even those in middle seats are famous. This lady appears out of nowhere with such grandeur, bringing a concubine too? Could she be this formidable?"

Bi Chunfu said, "Hmph, you don't believe me, a look will tell!" In Jianghu, strength reigns supreme. He suffered such a disgrace, lost face numerous times, leading to more ridicule.

At this moment, a different sound arose from the second floor. The guests from the first floor went upstairs to watch the commotion.

Madam Wen said softly, "This young lady has been traveling far, wishing to find a seat to rest temporarily. Whoever is willing to offer their seat, this young lady would be most grateful."

The guests on the second floor were more skilled. Seeing the beautiful and charming lady, they were taken aback, but were unwilling to give up their seats.

Madam Wen sighed regretfully, "Such a pity, such a pity. As it's the case, this young lady must personally inquire."

"Little Immortal, who do you think is the weakest?"

Li Xian thought to himself, "Who is strong or weak, how could the lady not know? She's trying to drag me into this enmity at such a time… anyway, with enemies everywhere, what's one more or less?"

He looked around. Everywhere he looked, the heroes glared back angrily, evidently displeased. Li Xian said, "That elder in white, perhaps the weakest."

This person was an elder of the Jade Water Cave Heaven, named Hu Bohong. Earlier, by gently spraying wine, he defeated Bi Chunfu decisively. His strength was evident.

Madam Wen said, "Alright, then please give up your seat!"

"Your grandmother's ball!" Hu Bohong erupted in rage, holding the wine cup and gently shaking it, three circles to the left, four circles to the right, then splashing it forward.

The wine disappeared as soon as it left the cup. Invisible and intangible, extremely formidable. This was one form from within the "Jade Water Glaze Sword" called 'Clear Skies'.

His martial arts mastery was profound, using the wine cup as a sword hilt, the wine as the sword blade. Turning the cup was the brewing of sword momentum, splashing the wine was akin to drawing the sword.

This sword technique was extremely advanced. At the moment the sword was drawn, the inner qi was transferred into the sword, causing the heavens and earth to resonate, transforming the sword into invisibility. Making the sword technique elusive and difficult to counter.

With this splash, invisible water droplets filled the sky. It seemed like a hundred swords were unleashed in an instant, covering the skies, tearing flesh to bits, leaving no mercy.

Madam Wen smiled gently. Her fair and slender fingers turned over elegantly, distinct and graceful. She pinched gently at the air.

Picked a water droplet.

The elder of Jade Water Cave Heaven was visibly rattled. Seeing Madam Wen flick her finger, she sent the water droplet into the air.

In the air, countless invisible water droplets were filled with sword momentum, sharp as swords. The lady's rebound of the droplet happened to hit an invisible water droplet.

Water was supposed to merge upon contact.

Yet this water droplet defied its nature. Striking down the invisible water droplet, then rebounding elsewhere, it caused the water droplet to rapidly bounce back and forth.

Completely disrupting the embedded sword momentum.

The water droplets became visible, splashing to the ground.

The elder was stunned and said, "Flower Pinching Finger?!" He rose with shock.

In a brief confrontation, much was revealed. The invisible water droplets in the sky were like the use of a thousand sword techniques. But these thousand sword techniques all stemmed from one form, one person.

Madam Wen, by using the "Flower Pinching Finger," intercepted one water droplet. It was akin to extracting one sword technique, preserving the sword's characteristics. Instead, she catalyzed it, completely reversing the sword technique, reflecting it back.

The countless water droplets in the air, seemingly thousands of swords, but fundamentally just one sword. Madam Wen broke the sword with her sword, broke the move with her move, exerting very little qi power.

Managing to win in such fashion, she astonished everyone around!

The remarkable part lay in the "Flower Pinching Finger."

Li Xian pondered, "The lady has such powerful martial arts, yet she has taught me none."

"Madam, who are you really, how... how can you use 'Flower Pinching Finger'?" Hu Bohong asked.

Madam Wen said, "Obtained by chance, it's a shallow mastery, not worth mentioning."

"Madam's prowess, I am ashamed to compare. The seat is yours." Hu Bohong stood up and said.

Madam Wen smiled and said, "Please continue sitting. This place is cramped and not where I wish to be."

She then moved towards the third floor.

Suddenly, with a "thud," a copper tripod crashed onto the staircase leading to the third floor.

A voice resonated, "Such a formidable beauty, let this old man keep you company for a game!"
