?Chapter 97: Chapter 96 – The Scale in Mu Lin’s Heart (Second Update)_1 Chapter 97: Chapter 96 – The Scale in Mu Lin’s Heart (Second Update)_1 Ji Shubai explained, “These two have been at odds with each other since childhood, having numerous fights, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, their outcomes always unpredictable to us. But…” He paused for a moment and then went on, “It has been many years since they have personally confronted each other in the battle ring.” Even when they did spar, it was only verbally; so they were unclear about Xue Jianbing’s current martial prowess.

Especially after they grew up, both of them were separately taken aside by their elder brothers for rigorous training, making it even harder to evaluate their capabilities now.

However, there was one thing Ji Shubai was certain of – this sparring match in front of them promised to be quite exciting and intense.

“Oh,” Mu Lin responded faintly, her calm gaze fixed on the two figures ahead.

To be honest, she wasn’t entirely confident about who would win between the two. But after observing the contenders, Mu Lin thought that Jing Youlan’s martial skills might slightly surpass Xue Jianbing’s, although he didn’t seem to take the competition seriously.

But as a member of the Jing family, one can’t be too bad.

With the powerful genetics inherited from Jing Chen, the members of the Jing family can’t be underestimated.

Mu Lin hadn’t personally met the member from the Xue family, but she has competed with Jing Chen several times. Her internal scale might have already slightly tilted towards one side.

…

Without saying any more, in a blink of an eye, the two, who were initially eyeing each other, took action simultaneously. They exchanged several blows in a flash, all their moves full-force. This splendid spectacle elicited gasps of admiration from the fresh recruits around, making them wonder, almost unconsciously, what their own fate would be if they were to face either of the two competitors.

They would be beaten to a pulp in a matter of minutes for sure; it was clear that the two not only come from noble households, but they were also leaders in martial skills. They were simply beyond comparison for anyone around.

If there had been any dissatisfaction towards the two, it would have been significantly reduced by now.

Such martial prowess filled the observers with envy, as well as jealousy.

Just the thought of being able to possess such martial prowess in the future made them feel a surge of the adrenaline rush, causing the inherent body aches and complaints to momentarily disappear.

The two were truly impressive!

…

“So this is what free fighting is.” Mu Lin murmured, while observing them. “It doesn’t seem quite special.” What her master taught her far surpassed these skills; this was merely rudimentary sparring.

If she had to get beaten up to learn this, she decided simply to pass.

Mu Lin instinctively rejected the idea.

At this moment, Ling Qi had no idea that the techniques he was preparing to teach had already been dismissed by Mu Lin.

Mu Lin’s murmur was delicate, but was still caught by Ye Xiwen standing beside her, who curiously looked at Mulin and cautiously asked, “Mu Lin, have you also studied this before?”

For some reason, upon first sight of Mu Lin, Ye Xiwen has always wanted to befriend her, but sadly she was always surrounded by many other talented individuals.

“No.” Mu Lin vaguely shook her head. She had already said it.

Ever since her childhood, while her master pampered her, he made sure she didn’t miss out on any crucial training. When she first began martial arts training, she would end up bruised all over every day. Though her master felt terrible every time he applied an ointment on her, he was still incredibly strict during her training sessions.

It was as though he knew the time he could spend with her was limited, prompting her to gain adequate skills to protect herself.

For some reason, whenever Mu Lin thought of Mu Jue now, she was reminded of the diligent efforts she did not notice back then.

Mu Lin was already lost in thought.
