Gu Lingzhi's eyes flashed with hatred.
She had acted weak previously, not only to make them underestimate her but also to try to get answers from their leader. During the process, she had no choice but to bear the disgusting lecherous gazes that she was getting from the bandits. However, now that she had achieved her goal and killed the strongest person among them, the others were nothing to be afraid of.
She took a step forward and disappeared into mid-air once again.
When she eventually appeared, she was in front of the bandit that first humiliated her and did not hesitate to stab him, catching him off guard.
"Run!"
Without knowing who shouted, the group of bandits started to flee in all four directions.
They were not scared of experts that they could see and fight but they were afraid of someone like Gu Lingzhi, whom they knew nothing about.
She was supposed to be a young lady that was much weaker than them, but she had actually killed their leader with such a strange method. They regretted not killing her the moment they laid their eyes on her.
It was certainly the consequence of being lecherous. Now, they'd have to pay for it.
Before they could run any further, a few more people were stabbed to death.
Since she had already exposed the existence of the Inheritance Space, Gu Lingzhi had no intentions of letting them live!
Under normal circumstances, Gu Lingzhi would need to spend a bit of effort killing anyone of them. But with the help of the Inheritance Space, she was indestructible and taking their lives were extremely easy.
Standing by the edge of the river, Gu Lingzhi looked as the blood dripped from her Fenglin sword to the ground. She felt a sense of calm.
She did not feel the panic she felt when she first killed and felt like everything was normal. However, she knew that something within her had changed because of this.
If she did not want to be killed by others, she had no choice but to be the one that kills others. If she had to step on other people's skeletons in order to become strong, she did not mind stepping on a few more!
With determination in her eyes, Gu Lingzhi kept her Fenglin Sword as the last few drops of blood dripped onto the floor.
It would take her five days to get from the Wunian City to the Red Sun City if she did not take any breaks.
When she finally appeared in the capital, her entire aura seemed to change. She had lost her young and inexperienced aura and became someone that was more calm and resolute.
She had met with a total of three attacks during her journey in which one of it had almost cost her her life. If it was not for the Inheritance Space that allowed her to escape, she might have died.
From these three attacks, she knew that apart from Lin Yue-er, there were two other people that wanted her dead.
With this newfound knowledge, she had no choice but to abandon her initial plan on joining a mercenary group. Most Mercenary Missions were conducted outside of the capital and with her current condition, it was unsafe for her to leave the city.
After thinking for a while, Gu Lingzhi turned to head towards the building opposite of the Mercenary Guild – the Town of the Brave.
This was not to say that the Town of the Brave did not care at all once Martial Artists went on to the battle stage.
As long as one side admitted defeat, the other party had to stop all attacks immediately. If not, they would be punished by the seniors that were in charge of the Town of the Brave.
Gu Lingzhi had heard of this place a long time ago from Tianfeng Jin who was a battle-maniac. However, she had never had the chance to check this place out as she had no time, and now was the best time for her to do it.
Gu Lingzhi entered the battle arena for Martial Students.
Once she entered the passed through the golden gates, loud cheers could be heard. As she lifted her head to look at the battle stage, Gu Lingzhi looked at the two people fighting on the centre stage as her eyes narrowed.
It was Xin Yi!
"This is already the 90th battle that Xin Yi has won consecutively right? He's amazing! If he wins another ten more, he would be able to receive the Emblem of the Brave."
Emblem of the Brave? What is that?
Hearing these foreign words, Gu Lingzhi's attention was drawn to the discussion happening beside her,
The two strangers continued to gush, "That's right, the Emblem of the Brave is only given to those that wins a hundred battles consecutively. As long as one has the Emblem of the Brave, they can buy whatever training resources they need from stores in the entire Tianyuan Continent for half price. They could even request to buy higher-level mercenaries!"
"It is such a pity that it is so difficult to win a hundred battles continuously. If they meet anyone that is of a higher cultivation level than them, it would be nearly impossible. They must also worry about whether opponents of the same cultivation are stronger than them."
As they continued to discuss, Gu Lingzhi learned quite a bit just by eavesdropping.
Everyone that registered in the Town of the Brave could only take on 3 matches daily. The person in charge of the battle arena would randomly pick two opponents. The cultivation levels of the two opponents could not differ by more than three Levels. Every win was worth a point and every loss would wipe away all previous points.
