At these words, Qiu Ze’s face turned green.

’How utterly condescending.’

Not only did Xiao Dong intend to block his Sword Move with his bare body, but he even told him to strike with all his might, muttering something about taking a bath afterward. This was arrogance to the absolute extreme.

If he couldn’t kill Xiao Dong, he might as well die of humiliation.

"This little brat is so infuriating, isn’t he?"

"He’s shattered the very definition of arrogance."

"I’ve never seen anyone so cocky."

The members of the Celestial Tiger Sect were filled with righteous indignation, their faces etched with fury.

Xiao Dong pointed to his own forehead. "Go on, chop right here. Aim carefully, and don’t you dare hold back."

"To hell with you!"

Qiu Ze raised his sword and swung down with all his might, a terrifying flash of blade light tearing through the air.

CLANG!

Sparks flew in all directions.

The ground beneath Xiao Dong’s feet shattered into dust, and Smoke and Dust filled the air.

"Heh heh!"

Qiu Ze let out a confident laugh.

The power of that single strike could kill an Early Stage Martial Monarch, or even a Mid Stage expert. It should have been more than enough to slice Xiao Dong in two.

But just as he was retracting his sword, a childish cry of pain suddenly came from behind him. "Ow, that really hurt!"

Huh?

Qiu Ze spun around in disbelief. He saw Xiao Dong standing completely unharmed amidst the Smoke and Dust, and his eyes went wide.

’How is that possible?’

The sharp-faced youth was dumbfounded. "No way! Senior Brother Qiu struck him like that and didn’t kill him? Could it be... Senior Brother Qiu didn’t use his full strength?"

"That’s possible!"

"That must be it. Otherwise, with Senior Brother Qiu’s power, he could have killed him eight hundred times over."

The sharp-faced youth said, "I get it now! Senior Brother Qiu saw how young he was and couldn’t bear to kill him, so he just wanted to give him a good scare."

"Heh heh, no wonder the little brat is completely fine."

"Senior Brother Qiu is so merciful."

"The little brat must be scared stiff by now."

"Heh, if I took a swing at your forehead with a sword, let’s see if you’d be scared stiff or not."

The crowd broke into discussion.

"This..."

Hua Tianmen, Bai Luoxue, and the others were also stunned.

’He was hit with that much force and he’s fine?’

Of everyone present, only Xiao Lang and the Xiao Family disciples remained calm.

It was just as they expected.

Hua Tianmen said soothingly, "Brother Lang, did you know this would be the result all along?"

Xiao Lang smiled and nodded.

Hua Tianmen complained, "Next time something like this happens, can you please give us a heads-up? You had us worried sick for nothing."

"My heart was in my throat just now."

Bai Luoxue shot him a reproachful glance.

Xiao Lang scratched his head. "Didn’t I tell you guys? Not only did you not listen, but you also called me heartless, cold-blooded, and said I’d watch someone die without lifting a finger..."

"Well..."

Bai Luoxue’s reproachful gaze softened, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Xiao Dong subconsciously touched his forehead. Seeing no blood on his hand, he finally relaxed.

"Phew, the skin didn’t even break!"

Xiao Dong said happily.

He had been worried the strike would leave a scar. That would ruin his good looks, and he wouldn’t be handsome anymore.

"The skin didn’t break?"

The sharp-faced youth groused, "Senior Brother Qiu, you’re being far too merciful."

’You don’t have to kill a kid,’ he thought, ’but you should at least make him bleed a little, break the skin, and teach him a lesson.’

Qiu Ze, however, ignored him. A storm was raging in his heart.

’The skin didn’t break?’

’How the fuck is that possible?’

He knew that Xiao Dong had already defeated two members of their Celestial Tiger Sect, causing them to lose all face. On top of that, the boy had spouted all sorts of arrogant words to humiliate him.

Unable to stomach the anger, he had been dead set on killing Xiao Dong and had used his full power.

And the result...

Xiao Dong rubbed his forehead and shouted furiously at Qiu Ze, "You, surnamed Qiu! Are you trying to humiliate me? I told you to chop me with all your might, so why’d you strike me so light and airy?"

Light and airy...

Hearing those three words, Qiu Ze, who had used his full strength, felt his face twist in a grimace.

’Son of a bitch!’

’Who exactly is humiliating whom here?’

Just then, Xiao Wan suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Dong, since this guy is so weak, why not let me have a try?"

"You..."

Xiao Dong hesitated.

Xiao Wan said, "I’ve finished practicing the entire first level of the Body Refining Technique taught by the Young Master. My body is super tough now, and I want to test its power."

"No!"

Xiao Dong refused. "His attacks really hurt. What if he makes you cry?"

"Then I’ll just hold back my tears!"

Xiao Wan declared resolutely.

Nearby, everyone from the Celestial Tiger Sect was completely dumbfounded.

’Where did another little brat come from?’

’And she wants Qiu Ze to chop her, too?’

Qiu Ze’s face was not just twisted to its limit; it had gone from green to a shade of purple.

Never in his life had he been so humiliated.

Xiao Lang, however, was startled.

Xiao Lang asked, "Xiao Wan, what did you just say? You’ve finished practicing the entire first level of the Body Refining Technique from the Young Master?"

Xiao Wan nodded. "The Cultivation Technique the Young Master taught us is very difficult. It took me a full ten days just to learn the thirty-six movements. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you! Opening Form, Part the Wild Horse’s Mane, Left Brush Knee and Twist Step..."

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

In just a few minutes, Xiao Wan finished demonstrating all thirty-six movements of the True Dragon Undying Technique.

Xiao Lang’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Hua Tianmen asked in confusion, "Aren’t those just a few simple sets of movements? What’s so difficult about them that’s got you so worked up?"

"Simple?"

Xiao Lang sneered. "Why don’t you try it yourself?"

Hua Tianmen raised an eyebrow. "Brother Lang, don’t try to provoke me. The Demon Techniques we cultivate in my Great Demon Sect have Body Refining as their most basic foundation. And with clumsy movements like these, forget about me—even Chen Ge could perform them easily."

"Chen Ge, what the hell are you doing hiding back there? Get up here."

Hua Tianmen yelled at Chen Ge.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Ge hurried forward with a sycophantic grin. "Young Master Hua, what are your orders?"

"You’re the weakest one here, so you can demonstrate for Brother Lang."

Hua Tianmen ordered.

’The weakest?’

Chen Ge was indignant but didn’t dare refuse. "Alright," he agreed, "but I didn’t get a clear look just now. I’ll need Xiao Wan to teach me."

"But the Young Master forbade us to..."

Xiao Wan thought for a moment. "Fine, I’ll teach you. But I can only teach you three moves. You’ll need the Young Master’s permission for the rest."

"Just three moves? Go ahead and teach me. I guarantee I’ll learn them in a second."

Chen Ge said confidently.

Xiao Wan turned to the crowd from the Celestial Tiger Sect. "You’re not allowed to learn this. All of you, turn around."

"Tch, who’d even care to learn it?"

The members of the Celestial Tiger Sect sneered but all turned around, their backs to Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan said, "Repeat after me. Opening Form, Part the Wild Horse’s Mane, Left Brush Knee and Twist Step..."

"Opening Form, Part the Wild Horse’s Mane, Left Brush Knee and Twist Step..."

Chen Ge began to ape her movements, but he suddenly let out a piercing scream. "AHH... I’m going to explode!"

"Explode?"

Everyone froze.

Hua Tianmen berated him, "Chen Ge, you’re so goddamn useless! You can’t even learn such simple movements? You’re a fucking embarrassment to our Northern Profound Domain."

"Hmph!"

Chen Ge retorted indignantly, "You try it! You’ll explode too!"

Hua Tianmen shot Chen Ge a vicious glare. "You think I’m as useless as you? Open your damn eyes and watch closely! Opening Form, Part the Wild Horse’s Mane, Left Brush Knee and Twist Step..."
