General Ye has ordered that no faction engage in private combat in the marketplace. Do Itachi dare defy military orders?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng’s face darkened—he clearly recognized the girl—but he still gritted his teeth and said: “Su Muxue, General Ye is my grandfather. Do Itachi dare use that excuse to control me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what if he is?” Su Muxue drew her sword, the tip aimed directly at Ye Feng. “At Shanhai Pass, no matter who Itachi are, I answer only to military orders. Leave now, or don’t blame me for being uncivil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng met the coldness in Su Muxue’s eyes, glanced at the guards at the Tianji Pavilion entrance, then clenched his teeth and shot Jiang Xia a furious glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi got lucky this time—we’ll settle this in the training camp!” With that, he and his men left in sullen frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng watched Ye Feng’s retreating back and sneered: “What a piece of trash—only dares to bully others with family power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muxue sheathed her sword and turned to Jiang Xia with a nod: “I’m Lieutenant Su Muxue of the Demon Suppression Army, sent by Lei Di to deliver the full training camp regulations to Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lei Di?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their puzzled expressions, Su Muxue explained: “That’s your Night Watch commander, Senior Lu Wujiu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s worried Itachi’re new to Shanhai Pass and might get taken advantage of because Itachi don’t know the rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia suddenly understood: “Thank Itachi, Lieutenant Su. Please also thank Senior Lu for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muxue smiled, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: “I’ve heard rumors that the Night Watch has produced two prodigies. Now that I’ve seen Itachi, the rumors are true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Feng is a genius of the Ye family, impulsive by nature. Don’t take it to heart. The next few days will likely bring more trouble like this—be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added: “If Itachi run into trouble Itachi can’t handle, come to the Demon Suppression Army headquarters and find me—I’m stationed at the training camp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, here’s my phone number. Feel free to contact me directly if Itachi need anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia took the slip of paper with the number, bid Su Muxue farewell, and walked with Wang Teng toward the black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Wang Teng couldn’t help but sigh: “Shanhai Pass really is full of hidden dragons and tigers—we’ve barely arrived and already ran into so much. Looks like training camp won’t be easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia looked at the slip in his hand, a faint smile tugging at his lips: “The harder it is, the more interesting it becomes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect. Let me see just how capable these Shanhai Pass prodigies really are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the West Market black market was hidden deep in an alley hung with tattered banners, the damp cobblestones coated with a faint layer of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasional masked cultivators brushed past, casting brief, wary glances at Jiang Xia and Wang Teng before hurrying away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng peered inside—the narrow alley was lined tightly with stalls, most vendors wearing conical hats or face masks, their expressions guarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators coming and going were a mixed crowd: ordinary free cultivators in plain clothes, disciples in various uniforms, each radiating a subtle air of suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place doesn’t look ordinary—might actually find something good here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng rubbed his hands together, eyes gleaming, and hurried after Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two pushed through the dense crowd, the stalls on either side packed tightly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly man in a floral shirt squatted on a small stool, a black cloth spread before him displaying several ancient coins etched with strange patterns, claiming they could “withstand a single strike from a Wu Zong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, an old woman sold Super Strength Pills—Wang Teng leaned in to sniff, and immediately stood up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop wandering around—good stuff’s deeper in the black market. Let’s go further in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia pulled Wang Teng away from haggling with the old woman, his gaze sweeping past the crowded stall ahead, finally landing on a nearly empty one in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s eyes locked onto a seemingly broken jade seal at the center of the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seal was cracked all over, its dragon patterns nearly worn away, one corner chipped off, like trash dug up from a construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, how much for this jade seal?” Jiang Xia crouched down, his fingertip lightly brushing its surface—a strange sense of familiarity suddenly surged within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor was an old man in a faded shirt and a sunhat with holes, curled up on a folding chair, dozing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, a haughty voice rang out from beyond the crowd: “I’ve taken a liking to this jade seal—it’s destined for me. Don’t compete with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to see a young man in purple combat gear walking forward, tall and straight, his brow radiating arrogant defiance, faint electric currents flickering around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s gaze settled on Jiang Xia’s face, his eyebrows lifting slightly: “Itachi’re Jiang Xia, the one who just made the list? Seventh on the Prodigy List—actually looks better than your photo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Qianjue?” Wang Teng’s eyes widened—he’d seen this face just moments ago on the Prodigy List.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunder-ability genius of the Qin family, tenth on the Prodigy List, said to control voltages of a million volts, ruthless in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qianjue ignored Wang Teng, his eyes locked on the jade seal, his tone commanding: “Old man, I want this seal. Name your price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng stepped forward immediately, rolling up his sleeves: “Who the hell are Itachi? Don’t Itachi know the rules? First come, first served?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozing old man had somehow woken up. His cloudy eyes flashed with sharpness as he drew on his pipe, tapping the stem against the folding table: “Why the rush? Two kids—Itachi want this thing? Follow the rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qianjue frowned: “What rules? Just name a price—if it’s reasonable, the Qin family can pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t sell for money—I sell by fate,” the old man exhaled a smoke ring, pointing at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Block my three strikes. Whoever can withstand them gets the seal. If neither can, then it hasn’t chosen a master—go do whatever Itachi were doing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qianjue sneered: “Old man, don’t waste my time. I’ll take your three strikes—don’t regret it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said nothing, slowly raising his right hand. The moment he lifted it, Jiang Xia’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s arm moved slowly, yet every motion avoided spatial nodes; the wind in his palm carried not spiritual energy, but pure physical force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words finished, the old man’s palm struck Qin Qianjue’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qianjue’s pupils shrank—he erupted in blinding lightning. “Thunder Armor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver lightning formed a suit of armor around him—but the moment the old man’s palm touched the lightning, the violent bolts instantly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qianjue felt a crushing force slam into his chest, staggering back three steps, his back crashing into a fire hydrant with a loud clang.\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fd85a06dad73100eef4ffe794bb36132e5dcb6abae7304b7d93bb8882f522685","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-74","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-72",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
