Chapter 108 (1/2)
The thousand jin copper lions were on that youth's left and right. The center of his hands released Star Energy, and the two lions were played around in his hands like balloons. His cultivation had reached Nebula Early Stage.
”Master Qin's cultivation has greatly increased in half a year, truly a talented genius!”
”Amazing!!”
Everyone cheered all at once, their praising voices up here and down there. This Master Qin's reputation really was not small.
The youth slightly smiled and firmly set the copper lions on the ground. He cupped his fist, and a maid lead him to the second floor.
At this time, Su Xing knew he could not hesitate any longer. Rising, he walked to the copper lions, four beautiful lotuses elegantly following him. The hundred guests that were discussing the youth stopped their conversations, indefinitely bewildered as they stared at Su Xing, particularly at the four outstanding beauties Lin Yingmei and the rest, and their eyes straightened.
The maid and that youth also turned their heads.
”Who is this hedonistic brat? Never seen him before?”
”An unfamiliar face. Perhaps he is on a scenic tour?”
”He looks that weak to stand up to the wind, yet he wants to go move the copper lions?”
”Wah, those four beautiful girls, this brat truly has luck with women.”
”Heh, heh. Seeing his weak complexion, he must have weak kidneys from the lustful nights he has every night? Unexpectedly wanting to move the copper lion, that hedonistic brat is just overestimating his abilities.”
The majority of the customers inside the restaurant were from powerful and influential families, not only within Stone Table City, but they held a great reputation in even the entire Calm Prefecture. The complex influences of the nearby prefectures were fairly clear, yet this unfamiliar face of Su Xing’s had never been seen before. Subconsciously, they felt he had rushed over from the central plains. The emperor high in heaven was far away, and the powerful dragon could not pressure the local bully. Also seeing Su Xing and his four beauties hold each other, jealous moods of every kind for a moment made everyone mock and ridicule Su Xing.
”Does this Young Master have any orders?” The maid asked.
Su Xing did not waste his breath speaking. His finger lightly forming a hook, Star Energy shot out. The two copper lions were played around in his hand completely without suspense, and launching it, the copper lions turned into flashes of light. They suddenly were reduced in size by several times, turning into a single decoration only several inches in size that fell into Su Xing's hand.
It was an object shrinking art!1
The whole audience was absolutely silent, dumbstruck.
Shrinking object arts were specially cultivated arts for Star Cultivators, this was not strange. However, what Su Xing used could be said to be wonderful to the hair of the summit. Ordinary Star Cultivators' object shrinking required long times to refine, and the resizing must guarantee that the object's quintessence was not lost, and something like the copper lions were even more magic energy demanding. It was hard to imagine the resizing would go smoothly without two or three days. Su Xing merely used a martial art in the blink of an eye, and the copper lions turned into a toy in his hand, which could be considered to have scared this group of powerful nobles.
Su Xing threw the copper lion, and the lion grew back to its original size.
The maid was astonished.
”May I pass through?” Su XIng asked.
”Only Star Cultivators that have conducted a Star Duel qualify, are you one?” Qin Shaoyou2 sneered.
The blankly staring guests just slapped their thighs, having suddenly seen the light.
Seeing Su Xing control his Star Energy so perfectly, this simply could not be done with four or five years of effort,3 and Su Xing's cultivation was not shallow. At once, they believed that he already had trained for a very long time, and each and every one revealed a ”So it turned out to be this” expression of contempt, at last comforting themselves.
”Of course I am. How do you test this?” Su Xing flatly asked.
”You sure can talk big, careful you don't pull your tongue.”
”Daring to proclaim yourself to be a Star Cultivator that went through a Star Duel, you've got thick skin, huh. Do you think you're a genius?”
”Let's see how the Heavenly Star fixes him up.”
They continued to jeer at him.
Lin Yingmei coldly swept her gaze over them, her eyes like lightning, a penetrating cold. The air temperature of the Heavenly Prosperity Establishment's fiery lounged immediately plummeted to zero, and it was the tall and sturdy man who was frozen to the point his teeth chattered, looking at Lin Yingmei filled with fright.
This time, everyone was considered to have been silenced.
”Please, Young Master, quell your anger. This Slave Servant shall immediately go make a report.” The maid promptly said
Su Xing hinted to Lin Yingmei, and the girl lowered her chilliness. Subsequently, everyone sitting before them at a table drank their wine, and everyone hid far away, looking at each other in dismay. Their eyes showed restrained fear of the consequences, thinking, could this youth be a Star Master from legend that came for a Star Duel?
A moment later. Upstairs, the fragrant muslin was separated, and colorful flowers danced in the breeze. Everyone's gaze had been attracted, and seeing a golden lotus phoenix hairstyle,4 colorful and bright beauty step down, her great beauty was full displayed. The people below sighed.
This was Li Shishi?
Su Xing was unconvinced.
”I, your servant, am Li Shishi, shopkeeper of the Heavenly Prosperity Establishment. I have heard there is a young master that can resize the copper lions at will?” Li Shishi softly smiled.
”This one beneath you is Yun Youzi. I heard there was a Heavenly Star recruiting a master, and I specially came for a try.
Su Xing rose blandly.
Li Shishi smiling face was flowery: ”If indeed Young Master's bearing is not ordinary. Little Jia,5 Little Yi,6 how do you feel about the Young Master?” She smiled at the maids beside her.
The two good-looking flowery maids were very attractive to the eye, wearing dark blue beautiful maid skirts, the white borders creased, golden armor, their heads stuck with corollas and dark red tassels. The particularly eye-catching maid had an exposed white back, carved with a gorgeous decorative design, they were extremely good-looking.
The two's appearances also were totally different. Wearing a dark blue maid skirt, with a pair of vermilion red eyes equivalent to contempt, the other was a white maid skirt girl blinking her eyes, very enthusiastically.
”Are you a Star Master?” The enthusiastic girl asked.
”Passed three checkpoints and slayed six generals, that's it.” Su Xing replied.
The girl looked at Li Shishi, and Li Shishi muttered to herself for a short time, then nodded.
”Since Young Master is so confident, I, your servant shall believe in the Young Master!” Li Shishi smiled.
She was just about to invite Su Xing upstairs. Suddenly, she heard people shout.
”Owner, since it's the final candidate, it would be better to have a public showdown here, right?”
