I Can Replicate Martial Arts-Chapter 217 - 110: So Many Divine Skills

"Brother Rui!"

Seeing Zhao Rui enter, the team members who were scattered about, murmuring to themselves, all piped up to greet him.

Ever since the training camp, when Zhao Rui became the leader of the first-year experts, his position as "captain" had been solidified.

Besides having the greatest Power and skill, his "faction" was also the most formidable.

At his side was Miao Miaomiao, another of the "five great" experts, whose Charm Skill made her someone no one dared to provoke. He also had two Level 8 Powerhouses, Qin Rui and Cao Guannan, following him.

Who would be dumb enough to cross him?

Hearing the others speak, the two "stars" of the show in the courtyard also looked over.

Shen Xinzhu’s eyes sparkled. She strode over happily, looked at Zhao Rui, and said sweetly, "Brother Rui, I broke through to Level 9!"

"Amazing, amazing. Keep up the good work!"

Zhao Rui praised her offhandedly.

"Mhm, I’ll work hard to follow your example, Brother Rui."

Shen Xinzhu gave a gentle smile.

Seeing Shen Xinzhu act like this, a cold glint flashed in Luo Min’s eyes.

A major event like breaking through to Level 9 should have been her moment of glory, and hers alone. But this Shen Xinzhu girl had, for no reason at all, just gone and broken through as well.

It ruined all of her carefully laid plans.

"Zhao Rui, the song you wrote is so beautiful. You have no idea how many actresses want to meet you."

Since making a big deal about her advancement didn’t have the intended effect, she decided to just be low-key about it.

Luo Min also walked over with a smile and brought up the matter of the TV drama’s theme song.

Her words, however, were a bit of an exaggeration.

"Is that so?"

Zhao Rui replied indifferently, then smiled and added, "Congratulations on your advancement!"

"Thank you!"

Seeing that Zhao Rui wasn’t even willing to discuss the song with her, a trace of hidden resentment surfaced in her eyes.

"You two chat. I’m going to head over there."

Zhao Rui casually opened a "chat window" for the two of them, then coolly slipped away to find Qin Rui.

No matter how great those two girls were, they just weren’t his type.

It had to be Senior Sister Qin. Her looks, and even her quirky personality that had been ’trained’ by Li Xinran, were far more interesting than theirs.

"You’re just determined to make my life on this team difficult, aren’t you!"

Seeing Zhao Rui ditch two beauties to run over to her, Qin Rui couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

This guy was blatantly trying to make her a target of everyone’s jealousy.

"You women are so petty, aren’t you? I just came over to say hi."

Zhao Rui couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Just to say hi?"

"Ah, so you haven’t forgotten about warming my bed?"

"Pah! You’re impossible!"

Hearing him bring that up in public, Qin Rui, flustered and annoyed, gave his arm a light punch.

But her movement was so gentle and weak that, to any onlooker, it looked no different from flirtatious banter.

The two women still standing in their original spot, Shen Xinzhu and Luo Min, couldn’t help but furrow their lovely brows. Then, without a word, they each went their separate ways.

Just then, a beaming Cai Zhengyang walked in from outside, running right into Luo Min, who was on her way out.

"Luo Min, where are you going?"

"None of your business!"

"..."

Cai Zhengyang stared, stunned, as Beauty Luo brushed past him. He couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, you’re here!"

While he was stewing, his followers on the team had already gathered around him.

"Yeah. Did something happen in the courtyard?"

Cai Zhengyang asked, confused.

"Brother Yang, Luo Min advanced to Level 9."

One of his underlings said quickly.

"What?"

Cai Zhengyang’s eyes went wide. "She’s Level 9?" he asked in astonishment. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Yeah. She announced it this morning."

"Fuck!"

Remembering Luo Min’s cold attitude just now, Cai Zhengyang became furious.

’That bitch. A classic case of use-and-discard.’

’The key is, I haven’t even taken my pants off yet, and she’s already disowned me!’

"Brother Yang, um..."

Seeing Cai Zhengyang’s dark expression, the underling beside him hesitated, not daring to continue.

"Spit it out!"

"That newcomer, Shen Xinzhu... she’s Level 9, too!"

"..."

This time, Cai Zhengyang was truly dumbfounded. ’How is everyone Level 9 all of a sudden?’

What did he, a Level 9, have to brag about anymore?

He thought back to how he had eagerly given that woman, Luo Min, lessons and pointers, basking in her flattery.

His face started to burn with shame.

"Fuck! If I ever teach a woman how to train again, I’m a goddamn worm!"

Cai Zhengyang’s brow twitched. He spun around and stormed out.

"Brother Yang, where are you going?"

His underlings asked in surprise.

"To train!"

...

Zhao Rui didn’t stay long in the Martial Arts Arena. He was still a "man in disgrace" and had no authority whatsoever.

After leaving Mingcan Courtyard, Zhao Rui rode his bike to the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall.

He had taken a leave of absence for the training camp and his breakthrough, so he hadn’t been there in a while.

Now that his Realm had advanced, it was time to come out and earn some Advancement Points.

He wondered if they would still have him.

When he arrived at the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Rui, to the surprise of the front desk staff, went straight upstairs to the manager’s office.

He knocked on the door, and the familiar voice of the bald-headed Brother Kun came from within.

Zhao Rui pushed the door open to see Brother Kun with a pretty woman in his arms, a wanton smirk on his face.

"Brother Kun, I’m back to cancel my leave and get to work," Zhao Rui said with a smile.

"Work? Work my ass. You take leave for almost two months... If everyone was like you, how could I even keep this place open?"

Brother Kun rolled his eyes and spoke flippantly, his hands never ceasing their roaming over the woman’s tender body.

"Alright then."

Hearing this, Zhao Rui thought, ’Alright, no need to say anything else. I’ll just find another place.’

"Well, Brother Kun, I’ll leave you to it!"

After saying his piece, Zhao Rui turned to leave.

"Holy shit, you’re a cocky little bastard. Get back here!"

Brother Kun’s upturned eyes narrowed slightly, darting about as he spoke.

Zhao Rui, in no hurry, turned back to face him, waiting quietly to hear what he had to say.
