On the arena stage, Xiao Yufan locked eyes with that man, his aura in no way inferior. Such a powerful opponent had once been someone he could only admire from afar, but now he had the strength to challenge him.
“Give me another three months. In three months, I will definitely defeat you openly, regardless of life or death, leaving our fates to heaven…”
This sentence struck a nerve with Xiao Yufan. Perhaps provoked by the other’s contemptuous expression, Xiao Yufan’s voice turned colder. He understood there was still a significant gap between them, so he chose to restrain himself.
“I’ll see it through to the end!” The other man’s expression remained unchanged. Obviously, Xiao Yufan’s words had failed to stir any emotion within him. Even if he felt surprised at Xiao Yufan’s sudden confidence, he still didn’t believe the latter could defeat him.
At this moment, in a corner of the underground arena, beside Old Master Situ, stood the true leader of the Heaven Division—the very instructor who had taught Xiao Yufan how to use firearms. The two silently observed the figures on the arena.
“Master Yufan is getting stronger. In just two short months, his strength has nearly matched the elite warriors of the Heaven Division. Remember, every one of them has undergone the strictest training since childhood!”
The middle-aged man who spoke carried deep reverence in his gaze toward Old Master Situ. This instructor, whom Xiao Yufan had always seen as stubborn, now appeared more like a loyal subordinate before Situ.
“He still has a long way to go. Not only does he fall short of the Heaven Division members, but even compared to other special forces, he might still be lacking. However, I believe that my grandson, Situ Lingyu, will only grow stronger through adversity.”
“Master Yufan’s patience and exceptional talent are truly rare. Add to that the cultivation of ancient martial arts, his physical condition alone, even without rigorous training, would allow him to handle several ordinary people without any danger.”
The middle-aged man gazed at Xiao Yufan with admiration in his eyes. He wasn’t flattering—Xiao Yufan indeed possessed the qualities to stand above others.
“Ye Tu, do you really think the people he will face in the future will be ordinary men?”
With a soft sigh, a flash of light flickered in Old Master Situ’s eyes. As a member of the Situ family, he understood that if Xiao Yufan’s existence were to be revealed to all, the storm awaiting him would be unimaginable.
Ye Tu paused for a moment before saying nothing further. The status of the Situ heir was indeed noble, but the corresponding responsibilities were not something just anyone could bear.
“I believe Master Yufan will not disappoint you. One day, he will stand at the true peak, a summit no one has ever touched…”
On the arena, Xiao Yufan and his opponent locked eyes, neither yielding in presence. Once, Xiao Yufan could only look up to such a formidable figure, but now he was ready to challenge him.
“Give me three more months, and I will defeat you fair and square, regardless of life or death, each to their own fate…”
These words struck a nerve in Xiao Yufan, perhaps provoked by the opponent’s disdainful expression. His voice turned icy, aware of the significant gap between them, yet he chose to endure.
“I’ll be here to the end!” The opponent’s expression remained unchanged, clearly unshaken by Xiao Yufan’s words. Even if he was surprised by Xiao Yufan’s newfound confidence, he still doubted the latter could defeat him.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the underground arena, beside Elder Situ stood the true leader of the Tian Group, the instructor who had taught Xiao Yufan firearms. Both watched the two on the arena silently.
“Young Master Yufan is growing stronger. In just two months, his skills are nearing those of the Tian Group’s elite special forces. Remember, everyone here has undergone the most rigorous training since childhood.”
The instructor looked at Elder Situ with reverence. In Xiao Yufan’s eyes, this was the most stubborn instructor, but now he appeared more like a dutiful subordinate.
“Indeed, he still has a long way to go. Not just compared to the Tian Group, but even to other special forces, he might fall short. But I believe my grandson, Situ Lingyu, will only grow stronger through adversity.”
“With Young Master Yufan’s resilience and exceptional talent, he is truly unmatched. Coupled with the nurturing of ancient martial arts, his physical prowess is such that even without further training, he could handle several ordinary people without danger.”
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yufan with admiration, not out of flattery, but because Xiao Yufan indeed possessed remarkable qualities.
“Ye Tu, do you think he will face ordinary people in the future?”
Elder Situ sighed, a glimmer in his eyes. As a member of the Situ family, he knew that if Xiao Yufan’s existence became known, he would face an unimaginable storm.
Ye Tu paused briefly, then fell silent. The status of the Situ family’s young master was indeed prestigious, but the accompanying responsibilities were not for everyone to bear.
“I believe Young Master Yufan will not disappoint you. One day, he will stand at the true pinnacle, a height no one has ever reached.”
Looking at Elder Situ in his plain attire, Ye Tu felt a surge of emotions. Perhaps only that young man could stir the nerves of this elder, who held high positions in both the military and political arenas.
“I await that day, and I believe it is not far off…”
Situ Lingyu, an elder of great influence in both the military and political spheres, whose mere sneeze could shake the vast nation, was, in front of Xiao Yufan, simply a grandfather.
Of course, Xiao Yufan on the arena did not notice the hidden corner. The soldier from earlier had already left, leaving him alone in the vast space.
“His strength is formidable, but only because he has experienced more. If you had appeared here earlier, you would have reached that level long ago. So, there’s no need to be disheartened!”
Despite his boldness, Xiao Yufan was slightly disheartened. Just as his thoughts began to drift, a voice as ethereal as a spirit’s reached him.
“And you, from what he said, your strength might even surpass his…”
Xiao Yufan did not turn around. Tian Xuan’s voice was the most familiar thing to him since his arrival here. After being tormented by this beauty for two months, not just her voice, but even her footsteps were deeply etched in his heart.
“My strength? At least three of him wouldn’t be enough for me!”
Tian Xuan raised her delicate eyebrows, her jade-like hands playing with her long hair tied casually with a purple ribbon, as gentle as a bright moon. Yet Xiao Yufan knew well that this seemingly delicate beauty possessed the methods of a demon.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yufan was not so arrogant as to think that matching that person in one move meant he was on par with him. If that person truly acted, he wouldn’t last ten rounds. How terrifying must Tian Xuan’s strength be…
“Starting today, I will intensify my training!”
His eyes flashed with determination. After a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yufan spoke as if possessed. He wanted greater strength, and greater strength required more effort…
“Are you sure this isn’t just a spur-of-the-moment statement? Your rest time is already at its limit. Any more, and your body might not be able to handle it.”
Tian Xuan’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, reacting a beat slower. She wasn’t sure if Xiao Yufan had been struck silly, to say such a thing.
“Is it not possible? Or are you starting to feel sorry for me? Then maybe our daily sparring sessions can be canceled…”
A playful smile appeared on Xiao Yufan’s lips, never missing a chance to tease Tian Xuan. Facing such a beauty, it was only natural for him to indulge in a bit of mischief.
“Who would feel sorry for you? Since you want to intensify your training, I won’t disappoint you. Our daily sparring sessions will be extended by half an hour, and physical training will be extended too. Let’s see how long you can last!”
A faint blush crept onto Tian Xuan’s perfect face, unable to meet Xiao Yufan’s intrusive gaze. If others in the Tian Group saw her in such a girlish demeanor, they would be utterly shocked.
“I… damn it…”
Hearing that Tian Xuan would extend their sparring sessions, countless “grass mud horses” galloped through Xiao Yufan’s heart. He had only himself to blame for being too talkative, otherwise Tian Xuan wouldn’t have taken his words further.
Xiao Yufan was thoroughly afraid of Tian Xuan. This girl almost daily left him battered and bruised, with no chance to fight back. The one-sided torment was extremely unpleasant…
Unmoved, Tian Xuan looked at Xiao Yufan’s grim expression and instead chuckled. But once she decided on something, there was no changing it. Since Xiao Yufan wanted to intensify his training, sparring was the quickest way.
“To hell with it, who’s afraid of who? I just don’t believe that in a few more months, I still can’t surpass you…”
Putting on a facade of righteous determination, he would soon realize how blissful the past two months had been…
“I’m waiting for that day, and I believe it won’t be far away…”
Situ Lingyu, an elder with immense influence in both the military and political arenas, could cause the entire nation to tremble with a single sneeze. Yet before Xiao Yufan, he was simply a grandfather.
Of course, Xiao Yufan on the arena was unaware of that hidden corner; the previous soldier had already left, leaving him alone on the vast stage.
“His strength is formidable, but it’s only because he has experienced more than you. If you had arrived here earlier, you would have already reached that level, so there’s no need to feel discouraged!”
Though Xiao Yufan still carried his usual confidence, he had still been slightly shaken. Just as his thoughts began to drift, a voice as ethereal as a spirit echoed in his mind.
“So what about you? From what he said, your strength must be even greater than his…”
Xiao Yufan didn’t turn around. Tian Xuan’s voice was the most familiar sound to him since arriving here. After being tormented by this beauty for two whole months, he could recognize even her footsteps.
“As for my strength, well, at least three of him wouldn’t even be worth my attention!”
Tian Xuan lightly raised her delicate eyebrows, her jade-like hand idly playing with her long black hair tied loosely with a purple ribbon. She appeared as soft and radiant as a bright crescent moon. Yet Xiao Yufan knew all too well that this delicate beauty possessed the ruthless skills of a warrior.
He inhaled sharply. Xiao Yufan wasn’t arrogant enough to believe that just because he could match that opponent in a single move, he could rival him in strength. If that opponent were to truly attack, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t last more than ten moves. Just how terrifying must Tian Xuan’s power be?
“Starting today, I’m stepping up my training!”
A determined light flickered in his eyes. After a brief hesitation, Xiao Yufan muttered as if possessed. He wanted greater strength, and greater strength could only be obtained through relentless effort.
“Are you sure this isn’t just a momentary outburst? Your rest time has already been squeezed to the limit. If you push yourself any further, your body might not be able to handle it!”
Tian Xuan’s delicate brows slightly furrowed. Her reaction was a bit delayed, and she couldn’t help but wonder if Xiao Yufan had been stunned into madness after his earlier beating.
On the arena, Xiao Yufan and his opponent faced each other, neither yielding in presence. Once, Xiao Yufan could only look up to such a formidable figure, but now, he was ready to challenge him.
“Give me three more months, and I will defeat you fair and square, regardless of life or death, let fate decide…”
These words struck a nerve in Xiao Yufan, perhaps provoked by the opponent’s disdainful look. His voice turned icy, aware of the significant gap between them, yet he chose to endure.
“I’ll be waiting,” the opponent replied indifferently, clearly unmoved by Xiao Yufan’s words. Even if he was surprised by Xiao Yufan’s newfound confidence, he still doubted the latter could defeat him.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the underground arena, beside Old Master Situ stood the true leader of the Tian Group, the instructor who had taught Xiao Yufan firearms. Both watched the two on the arena intently.
“Young Master Yufan is growing stronger. In just two months, his skills are nearing those of the Tian Group’s elite special forces. Remember, everyone here has undergone the most rigorous training since childhood.”
The instructor, who seemed stubborn to Xiao Yufan, now appeared as a dutiful subordinate before Old Master Situ, his gaze filled with reverence.
“He still has a long way to go. Not just compared to the Tian Group, but even to other special forces, he might fall short. But I believe my grandson, Situ Lingyu, will only grow stronger through adversity.”
“With his patience and exceptional talent, Young Master Yufan is indeed beyond ordinary. Nurtured by ancient martial arts, his physical prowess is formidable even without further training, posing no threat from ordinary individuals.”
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yufan with admiration, his words devoid of flattery, recognizing Xiao Yufan’s remarkable potential.
“Ye Tu, do you think he will face ordinary people in the future?”
Old Master Situ sighed, a fleeting glint in his eyes. As a member of the Situ family, he knew that if Xiao Yufan’s existence became widely known, he would face unimaginable storms.
Ye Tu paused, then fell silent. The identity of the Situ family’s young master was indeed prestigious, but the accompanying responsibilities were not for everyone to bear.
“I believe Young Master Yufan will not disappoint you. One day, he will stand at the true pinnacle, a height no one has ever reached.”
Looking at Old Master Situ’s modest attire, Ye Tu felt a surge of emotions. Perhaps only that young man could stir the nerves of this elder, who held high positions in both military and political circles.
“I await that day, and I believe it is not far off.”
Situ Lingyu, an elder of immense influence in both military and political spheres, whose mere sneeze could shake the vast land of China, was simply a grandfather to Xiao Yufan.
Of course, Xiao Yufan on the arena did not notice the hidden corner. The soldier from earlier had left, leaving only him in the vast space.
“His strength comes from his extensive experience. Had you appeared here earlier, you would have reached that level long ago. So, there’s no need to be disheartened.”
Despite his boldness, Xiao Yufan felt a slight blow. As his thoughts began to drift, a voice as ethereal as a spirit reached him.
“And you? From what he said, your strength might surpass his…”
Xiao Yufan did not turn around. Tian Xuan’s voice was the most familiar thing to him since his arrival here. After being tormented by this beauty for two months, not just her voice, but even her footsteps were deeply etched in his mind.
“My strength? At least three of him wouldn’t be enough for me.”
Tian Xuan lightly raised her delicate brows, her jade-like hands playing with her long hair tied casually with a purple ribbon, as gentle as a bright moon. Yet, Xiao Yufan knew well that this seemingly delicate beauty possessed the ruthlessness of a demon.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yufan wasn’t so arrogant as to think he could match that person with a single move. If that person truly acted, he wouldn’t last ten rounds. How terrifying must Tian Xuan’s strength be…
“Starting today, I will intensify my training!”
His eyes shone with determination. After a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yufan spoke as if bewitched. He desired greater strength, and greater strength required more effort…
“Are you sure this isn’t just a spur-of-the-moment remark? Your rest time is already at its limit. Any more, and your body might not be able to handle it.”
Tian Xuan’s brows slightly furrowed, reacting a beat slower. She wasn’t sure if Xiao Yufan had been struck silly, to utter such words.
“Is it not possible? Or are you starting to feel sorry for me? Maybe we can cancel our daily sparring sessions…”
A playful smile appeared on Xiao Yufan’s lips, never missing a chance to tease Tian Xuan. Facing such a beauty, it was only natural for him to harbor some mischievous thoughts.
“Who would feel sorry for you? If you want to intensify your training, I certainly won’t disappoint you. Let’s extend our daily sparring by half an hour and add more physical training. Let’s see how long you can last!”
A faint blush crept onto Tian Xuan’s perfect face, avoiding Xiao Yufan’s intrusive gaze. If others in the Tian Group saw her in such a girlish demeanor, they would surely be shocked.
“I… damn it…”
Hearing Tian Xuan’s plan to extend their sparring sessions, countless “grass mud horses” galloped through Xiao Yufan’s heart. He only had himself to blame for being too talkative, giving Tian Xuan the opportunity to follow up.
Xiao Yufan was thoroughly afraid of Tian Xuan. This girl almost daily left him battered and bruised, with no chance to fight back. The one-sided torment was extremely frustrating…
Unmoved, Tian Xuan laughed softly at Xiao Yufan’s grim expression. But once she decided on something, she wouldn’t change it. If Xiao Yufan wanted to intensify his training, sparring was the fastest way.
“To hell with it, who’s afraid of whom? I don’t believe that in a few more months, I still can’t surpass you…”
Putting on a brave face, Xiao Yufan soon realized how blissful the past two months had been in comparison…
A playful smirk curled his lips. Xiao Yufan never missed an opportunity to tease Tian Xuan. Facing such a beautiful woman and not making a few small advances would be completely against his lecherous nature.
On the arena, Xiao Yufan and his opponent locked eyes, neither yielding in presence. Once, Xiao could only look up to such a formidable figure, but now he was ready to challenge him.
“Give me three more months, and I will defeat you fair and square, regardless of life or death, let fate decide…” The words struck a nerve in Xiao, perhaps angered by the opponent’s disdainful expression, his voice turned icy. Aware of the gap between them, Xiao chose to bide his time.
“I’ll be waiting,” the opponent replied indifferently, clearly unmoved by Xiao’s words. Even if he was surprised by Xiao’s newfound confidence, he still doubted Xiao could best him.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the underground arena, beside Elder Situ stood the true leader of the Tian Group, the instructor who had taught Xiao firearms. Both watched the two on the arena intently.
“Young Master Yufan is growing stronger. In just two months, his skills are nearing those of the Tian Group’s elite special forces. Remember, everyone here has undergone the most rigorous training since childhood,” the instructor said, his gaze filled with reverence for Elder Situ. This man, who seemed so stubborn in Xiao’s eyes, now appeared as a dutiful subordinate before the elder.
“Indeed, he still has a long way to go. Not just compared to the Tian Group, but even to other special forces, he might fall short. But I believe my grandson, Situ Lingyu, will only grow stronger through adversity,” Elder Situ remarked.
“Young Master Yufan’s patience and exceptional talent are beyond ordinary. Coupled with the nurturing of ancient martial arts, his physical prowess is such that even without rigorous training, he could handle several ordinary men without danger,” the middle-aged man observed, his eyes filled with genuine admiration. There was no flattery; Xiao truly had the makings of greatness.
“Ye Tu, do you think his future opponents will be ordinary men?” Elder Situ sighed, a fleeting glint in his eyes. As a member of the Situ family, he knew that if Xiao’s existence became widely known, he would face unimaginable storms.
Ye Tu paused, then fell silent. The status of the Situ family’s young master was indeed prestigious, but the corresponding responsibilities were not for the faint-hearted.
“I believe Young Master Yufan will not disappoint you. One day, he will stand at the true pinnacle, a height no one has ever reached,” Ye Tu said, looking at Elder Situ in his plain attire, feeling a surge of emotions. Perhaps only that young man could stir the nerves of this elder, who held immense influence in both the military and political spheres.
“I await that day, and I believe it is not far off,” Elder Situ said. Situ Lingyu, a man whose sneeze could shake the vast expanse of China, was, in front of Xiao Yufan, simply a grandfather.
Of course, Xiao on the arena did not notice the hidden corner. The soldier from earlier had already left, leaving only him in the vast space.
“His strength is formidable, but only because he has experienced more than you. If you had appeared here earlier, you would have reached that level long ago. So, don’t be disheartened,” a voice, ethereal and enchanting, reached Xiao just as his thoughts began to wander.
“And what about you? From what he said, your strength might even surpass his,” Xiao replied without turning around. The voice of Tian Xuan was the most familiar thing to him since his arrival here. After being tormented by this beauty for two months, not just her voice, but even her footsteps were deeply etched in his mind.
“My strength? At least three of him wouldn’t be enough for me,” Tian Xuan said, her delicate brows slightly raised, her jade-like hands playing with her long hair tied casually with a purple ribbon. She was as gentle as a bright moon, but Xiao knew well that this delicate beauty possessed the methods of a demon.
Xiao took a deep breath. He wasn’t arrogant enough to think that matching that man in one move meant he was on par with him. If that man truly attacked, Xiao wouldn’t last ten rounds. How terrifying must Tian Xuan’s strength be then?
“Starting today, I will intensify my training,” Xiao said, his eyes flashing with determination. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke as if under a spell. He wanted greater strength, and greater strength required more effort.
“Are you sure this isn’t just a momentary outburst? Your rest time is already at its limit. If you push further, your body might not hold up,” Tian Xuan frowned slightly, reacting a beat slower. She wasn’t sure if Xiao had been knocked senseless to say such a thing.
“Is it not possible? Or are you starting to feel sorry for me? Should we cancel our daily sparring sessions then?” Xiao’s lips curled into a playful smile, never missing a chance to tease Tian Xuan. Facing such a beauty, it was only natural for him to indulge in a bit of mischief.
“Who would feel sorry for you? Since you want to intensify your training, how could I disappoint you? Let’s extend our daily sparring by half an hour and add more physical training. Let’s see how long you can last,” Tian Xuan’s perfect face flushed slightly, avoiding Xiao’s intrusive gaze. This girlish demeanor, if seen by others in the Tian Group, would surely shock them.
“Damn it…” Hearing Tian Xuan’s plan to extend their sparring sessions, Xiao felt a herd of mythical creatures galloping through his heart. He only had himself to blame for being too talkative, giving Tian Xuan the perfect opportunity to follow up.
Xiao was thoroughly afraid of Tian Xuan. This girl almost daily left him battered and bruised, with no chance to fight back. The one-sided torment was deeply frustrating.
Unmoved, Tian Xuan laughed softly at Xiao’s grim expression. But once she decided on something, there was no changing it. If Xiao wanted to intensify his training, sparring was the fastest way.
“To hell with it, who’s afraid of whom? I don’t believe that in a few more months, I still can’t surpass you…” Xiao put on a brave face, but he would soon realize how blissful the past two months had been in comparison.
A faint blush crept onto her perfect face as Tian Xuan avoided Xiao Yufan’s provocative gaze. If the other members of the Heaven Division saw her like this, their jaws would surely drop in shock…
“What the hell…”
Upon hearing that Tian Xuan intended to extend their sparring time, countless curses surged through Xiao Yufan’s mind. He could only blame himself for opening his big mouth—if he hadn’t said anything, Tian Xuan wouldn’t have followed through.
Xiao Yufan had grown thoroughly afraid of Tian Xuan. Almost every day, she would mercilessly dominate him without giving him the slightest chance to fight back. This one-sided thrashing made him feel extremely frustrated…
Unmoved by his expression, Tian Xuan couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh. However, she had already made up her mind—since Xiao Yufan wanted to intensify his training, sparring was the quickest way to achieve that.
“Fine, so be it. Who’s afraid? I refuse to believe that, given a few more months, I still won’t be able to surpass you…”
Putting on an air of bravado, Xiao Yufan soon realized just how blissful the past two months had actually been…
