MARTIAL UNIVERSE: The strongest

Chapter 11: Business idea; Trouble



The next day...

*Whack!*

Within cave B32, the sounds of pressurised air being torn apart resounded continuously. Within a small training room, a half naked figure was constantly whipping out punch kick combos with incredible agility and finesse that would put any experienced martial artist on modern earth to shame.

His body moved effortlessly, as he executed acrobatic flips like a pro. He executed two back flips into a corkscrew and then unleashed a 360 degree taekwondo kick that whipped into the air.

His short white hair and jade like fair skinned body was soaked with sweat, however the runic symbol on his chest glowed brighter.

The moment he landed, his body suddenly vanished, leaving behind an after image that faded slowly, as the ground he once stood on cracked slightly. He flickered to and fro and finally landed with a flip.

Intense morning training like this had been scheduled for him everyday, to train his hand to hand combat skills. He felt he was getting rusty after all.

Picking up a small towel, he walked to a jug of water and took a drink, before quickly taking off his shorts and jumped into a tub of warm water, where he relaxed, letting out a breath.

With just one training session in the pocket dimension, he had exhausted the little resource in his possession. He needed a way to earn more spirit stones or Pure Yuan Pills to support his sadistic training in the pocket dimension.

'What to do, what to do?' He descended into deep thought. He could go out on sect missions and all that, but, he had a feeling to stay in the sect for a while longer, he would go on a lot of missions later, hence that option was out. He kept on thinking and thinking, until an idea dropped in his mind, which startled him.

"Hehehe! Brilliant!" He scrubbed himself as fast as he could, picked out clothes and rushed out quickly towards a nearby market.

The next few hours.....

"Ice Cream!!"

"Buy ice cream!"

A little stand was placed at the intersection between District 32 and 33 and behind it, a handsome blindfolded youth was dressed in an apron waving ice cream placards at passersby.

"Come on, it's so hot out here, you should cool down with some ice cream!"

"Try the tasty mix of goodness and refreshing all in one flavor!"

"Come on, help a brother out! It's just two for three spiritual stones and five for a Pure Yuan Pill!"

He continued waving placards at the disciples who passed by and the only ones he could get to buy what he was selling were the young girls who were infatuated with his handsome face.

Of course as someone who was an avid sweet lover Gojo knew almost every unique ice cream flavor combination possible in the world. This ice cream he was selling was just a simple recipe, created using wild honey, exotic fruits and fresh milk.

"Junior brother Chen Zhen, this dessert of yours is the best thing I've tasted in months. Please tell me your recipe, I'll pay any amount you want!!"

One girl who had received a strawberry ice cream was nearly melting as she tasted the creamy goodness. She just couldn't believe something could taste so fruity, milky, and so cool and refreshing at the same time.

Not just her, about a dozen female disciples couldn't remain in their seats and wanted the recipe for themselves.

"Come on, ladies, a magician never reveals his secrets. But don't worry, ice cream isn't just the only dessert I'll be serving you. As long as you have enough spirit stones and Pure Yuan Pills, you'll get to enjoy world class deserts from me, so buckle up!"

Gojo spoke as if he was advertising for a TV commercial and the female senior disciples nodded in joy as they handed him more of their powerstones in exchange for different flavours of ice cream.

In just an hour, Gojo had gained a sizable amount of profit. The capital for the whole business venture has been eight spirit stones, yet as it stood, he had close to 50 spirit stones and 10 Pure Yuan Pills. It was as if money was raining down from the skies. From this one could see just how much the ladies loved sweets.

"Tsk. That Chen Zhen! Just who the hell does he think he is?! Opening up a stand right in the intersection between two districts?!"

"Does he not fear retribution from all the senior brothers he was upsetting?!"

"He thinks beating that ratched Luo Li makes him a hotshot!"

"Let's go teach him a lesson!"

Several make disciples who were unhappy from the attention Chen Zhen was receiving from the ladies banded up together and began walking up to him with malicious expressions.

"Welcome, welcome! What can I get you, my humble sirs!"

Gojo, ever the enthusiast went behind his stand to prepare their orders instantly.

"Chen Zhen, you dare create a stand at the intersection between two districts. Don't you know the immensity of Heaven and Earth?"

The youth in lead, with a buzz cut, walked closer to Gojo who was behind the counter and chucked in his face.

"I don't. So, if you won't place your orders, there are senior sisters behind you, who'll like to order so step away.."

Gojo's words made them aware that they were being watched by dozens of female disciples. But if they backed down now, wouldn't they just lose face in front of the senior martial sisters?

"Chen Zhen, we give you a step, yet you reach for a mile! Perhaps we need to teach you a little lesson!"

Gojo was stunned at their stupidity. But just like Chinese cultivators like to say, they have eyes but cannot see Mt. Tai. A little group of body tempering idiots was not enough to threaten him.

He even smirked in the face of them charging up their attacks and began untying his apron.

"Should we help out?!"

"Junior brother Chen Zhen is only at the fourth layer of the Body Tempering realm."

"Yes I'm not sure he can take them all on!"

The ladies were ready to help him out, as their auras surged on, ready to combat for him. This scene shocked Gojo himself as he let out an awkward laugh. The extent women will go to protect things they like.

But...

An impressive aura stretched out, shocking all the disciples who were planning on attacking Gojo's stand. Everyone turned their eyes towards the source of the aura and behind them stood a young otherworldly beauty in a golden dress. Her aura was both chilling and intense, and the youths who were planning on attacking Gojo suddenly scurried away in fear.

"What may I serve you, young lady?" Gojo gently lowered his head with a small smirk, and chilling beauty raised a brow at him. Besides her, two buff youths stood with piercing gazes that could almost rip into Gojo's chest.

"Give me your best. If it's not up to standard, you'll die." Her voice was as calm as it was cold, and Gojo couldn't help but be taken aback. His six eyes made an interesting observation about her which made him think for a moment.

Her Yuan Power cultivation was really impressive even for her age. She was nearing the Peak of the Heavenly Yuan Realm and it was quite a big deal considering she didn't look that old. Other than that, there was a certain milky white energy source hidden within a symbol in between her brows. Not just that, the energy source seemed even purer and vastly more powerful than her Yuan Power and contained an uncontrollably chilling aura that seemed to isolate her from everything else around.

'A Yuan Power and mental energy dual cultivator? Sounds interesting...' Gojo only needed one gaze to glean all of this information. Her lackeys on the other hand were only at the Early Earthly Yuan stage, and he didn't even bother sparing them a glance.

"Well, if this flavor doesn't move you, I'll hand my head over to you, pretty."

Gojo's remark caused her lackeys to frown even deeper, but he could care less. Tying his apron behind his back, he quickly whisked up his ingredients and began cooking up his personal favourite strawberry vanilla flavour.

"There you go. Try it" Gojo handed her a small cup filled with the godly mixture and she stared him in the blindfold for a moment, before picking up the spoon and tasting the ice cream. At that moment, the world seemed to slow down as everyone around wondered just what was going to happen from here.

"Did she like it?"

"Senior Sister MeiYing never goes back on her word."

"Yeah. If she doesn't like it, Chen Zhen would likely lose his head right here.."

Meanwhile, Gojo wondered. Killings on campus were strictly prohibited. Just how much authority would one possess to be able to boldly say in front of an audience that she would take his life if she didn't like his scream. Her backing would have to be amongst the top echelon of authorities within the sect.

Thinking up to this, he paused and turned to her. "Do I have to part with my beautiful head?" Hearing him, she looked at him strangely, as if trying to peer into his eyes hidden behind the blindfold.

However, contrary to what was expected, she simply took out a Qiankun bag and tossed it to him. "Serve me all the finest flavours. I'll wait." She took a seat on a small bench behind the stand and closed her eyes. Meanwhile, Gojo looked through the bag and was stunned speechless by that sheer amount of Spiritual stones and Pure Yuan Pills within.

Without wasting time, he began serving her different combinations of his fruity ice cream, and watched her swallow everything without even batting an eyelid as he shook his head.

But it wasn't long until another outer court disciple came running through their district with worry and excitement plastered all over his face.

"Guys! Guys! You won't believe what is happening in the inner court right now. Du Yun is planning on challenging Luo Ping. A battle to the death!"

Everyone was stunned by the news and stopped everything they were doing and rushed towards the inner court.

Meanwhile, Gojo brows furrowed beneath his blindfold. He could guess Du Yun was probably going to face off against Luo Ping because he might've heard he ordered his execution.

"How troublesome..."

Gojo whispered to himself but it was loud enough the ice cold lady heard it and cast him a little nonchalant glance. He quickly took off the apron and closed the stand, before he rushed towards the inner court like the other outer court disciples. Unbeknownst to him, the ice cold girl slowly stood up and began walking, following after his shadow.
