As Xiao Yufan departed, the onlookers gradually dispersed. With a single move, he had incapacitated a young master at the peak of the Condensed Force realm and withstood the attack of a half-step Postnatal realm expert. Xiao Yufan had become the talk of the town. Coupled with his earlier performance at the hidden Guo family’s entrance, everyone began to take notice of this man.
When Xiao Yufan made his move, many eyes from outside the square had already noticed him. Regardless of whether those gazes held hostility or not, Xiao Yufan paid them no mind. In his view, only by demonstrating sufficient strength could he intimidate those who were arrogant and lawless.
“Can you see through his strength…”
Not far from where Xiao Yufan had left, Gong Hao’s eyes were filled with a mix of hatred and frustration. He glanced at the man beside him and spoke.
“He’s strong, at least much stronger than Situ Xuan!”
The man beside Gong Hao was none other than Gong Luotian, the top talent among the younger generation of the hidden Gong family. Judging by his aura, he had also stepped into the half-step Postnatal realm. It seemed that every hidden family was sparing no effort in nurturing their younger generation for this ancient martial arts gathering.
If Hong Zhong were to face Situ Xuan and his companions again, he might not even have a chance to fight back. Even in a one-on-one duel, he might not be able to secure a stable advantage!
“How is this possible? When I last encountered him, he had just stepped into the Condensing Qi realm. Even if his talent is exceptional, it’s impossible for him to become so powerful in such a short time!”
Gong Hao’s facial muscles twitched, and he clenched his fists tightly. He couldn’t believe that Xiao Yufan’s strength had skyrocketed so quickly, even surpassing Situ Xuan. Could it be that this guy had been playing the fool all along?
“Nothing is impossible. Your strength has also improved recently. With the resources of some powerful hidden families, it’s entirely possible to pave the way for such progress. There’s nothing to be surprised about.”
Gong Luotian spoke calmly, but only he knew that his heart wasn’t entirely at peace. A man who could give Situ Xuan a headache—could his strength have reached the Postnatal realm? That would be truly terrifying…
“It’s different. You must know that I used a lot of the Gong family’s resources to reach my current strength…”
“Do you think the Heavenly Alliance’s foundation is inferior to our Gong family? If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re a fool!”
A flash of disdain crossed Gong Luotian’s eyes. Naturally, he felt somewhat displeased. If it weren’t for Gong Hao’s status, he wouldn’t have had the qualifications to receive so many resources from the hidden Gong family, and his strength wouldn’t have improved so rapidly. Even he felt a bit envious.
Pursing his lips, Gong Hao dared not voice his dissatisfaction. He was well aware of Gong Luotian’s strength. This guy was recognized as the top talent of the hidden Gong family, and it wasn’t just empty talk.
When the Heavenly Alliance was mentioned, even Gong Hao, with his arrogant nature, couldn’t help but shut his mouth. The hidden Gong family had turned him into a powerhouse among the younger generation, but the Heavenly Alliance’s foundation was on par with some of the Guardian Temples. How could the Gong family compete with them?
Of course, if he knew that Xiao Yufan’s strength had never relied on the Heavenly Alliance, he might be utterly crushed!
At the same time, it wasn’t just the hidden Gong family that was extremely interested in Xiao Yufan. Others were also speculating about his strength. The ancient martial arts gathering was destined to see some young talents rise to fame, but no one knew which faction these rising stars would belong to.
Regardless, once a faction produced a young powerhouse, it would have a significant impact, and their status would rise accordingly. This was naturally the scheme many factions had in mind.
If it weren’t for such considerations, the hidden Guo family’s hosting of the ancient martial arts gathering would have faced much resistance. In fact, many people’s selfishness had inadvertently facilitated the hidden Guo family’s plans.
Even Xiao Yufan hadn’t noticed that from the moment he appeared at the hidden Guo family, a pair of beautiful eyes had been watching him. The woman, with her peerless grace, had quietly shed tears for him…
“Hubby, it seems many people have already noticed us. After all, your performance was too dazzling. Even Situ Xuan, at the half-step Postnatal realm, had to concede defeat.”
After leaving the crowd, Yingluo’s melodious voice rang out. The other three women also wore expressions of confusion. Their husband didn’t seem like a reckless person.
Earlier, when he had given the hidden Guo family a warning, it could have been seen as retaliation. But to so publicly cripple a peak Condensed Force expert and withstand Situ Xuan’s attack seemed somewhat out of character.
“I just didn’t want to be bothered by small fry anymore. Now, even if someone wants to cause trouble for me, they’ll have to weigh their own strength first.”
Xiao Yufan wore a confident smile. The reason he had acted so boldly was simply to deter those insignificant people from bothering him. He had offended quite a few people in the past, and if they all came after him one by one, he would be overwhelmed.
The four women nodded thoughtfully. They knew their husband had his reasons for acting this way, but they were still worried that his actions might provoke dissatisfaction from others.
Although Xian’er, Yingluo, and the other two women remained silent, Xiao Yufan knew what they were thinking. He gave them a reassuring look. With his current strength, he had no reason to fear anyone…
Earlier, Situ Xuan hadn’t continued the fight, not because he had seen through Xiao Yufan’s strength, but because he was clever. Aside from being wary of Xiao Yufan’s strength, he also wanted to create an illusion, making others speculate about Xiao Yufan’s true power.
This was a cunning move, but Xiao Yufan simply chose not to expose it. If someone really wanted to test his strength, he wouldn’t mind playing along.
He had been at the hidden Guo family for quite some time, yet there had been no news from them. He couldn’t help but feel pity for that fool. It seemed that even after being beaten, the hidden Guo family hadn’t made a move.
Xiao Yufan naturally hoped that the hidden Guo family would lose their composure, giving him a reason to take further action. For now, he felt somewhat embarrassed, but the people of the hidden Guo family still deserved to die!
If he encountered that old dog or Guo Junyu, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t hold back. Even if he killed them, he was confident he could leave unscathed…
This confidence didn’t just come from the Heavenly Alliance, but more so from his own strength. He was no longer the same person he had been a few months ago. He would never again be so humiliated at the hands of the hidden Guo family…
At the moment Xiao Yufan acted, many eyes outside the plaza had already locked onto him. Regardless of whether those gazes carried hostility, Xiao Yufan paid them no heed. In his view, only by displaying sufficient strength could he intimidate those arrogant individuals who had gone beyond all bounds.
“Can you see through his true strength…?”
Not far from where Xiao Yufan had left, Gong Hao’s eyes carried a trace of hatred. He glanced at a man beside him.
“He’s very strong—at the very least, much stronger than Siku Xuan!”
The man beside Gong Hao was none other than the number one young expert of the hidden Gong family, Gong Luotian. Judging from the aura around him, he had also stepped into the half-step Post-Heavenly realm. Clearly, in preparation for this martial arts competition, every hidden aristocratic family had poured their resources into cultivating the younger generation without reservation.
If Hong Zhong were to face Siku Xuan and others again, he might not even have the chance to fight back. Even in one-on-one combat, he might not be able to maintain a clear advantage.

“Nothing is impossible. Your strength has also just improved recently. With the resources of some powerful hidden families, it’s entirely possible to pave the way for advancement below the Postnatal realm. There’s nothing to be surprised about.”
Gong Luotian’s expression remained calm, but only he knew that his heart was not entirely at peace. A man who could make Situ Xuan feel a headache—could his strength have reached the Postnatal realm? That would be truly terrifying.
“It’s different. You must know that I used a lot of the Gong family’s resources to reach my current strength…”

Even he felt a bit envious.
Pursing his lips, Gong Hao dared not voice his dissatisfaction. He was well aware of Gong Luotian’s strength. This guy, who could be called the top talent of the hidden Gong family, was not just boasting.
Upon hearing the mention of the Heavenly Alliance, even Gong Hao, with his proud nature, couldn’t help but shut his mouth. The hidden Gong family had turned him into a strong young talent, but the Heavenly Alliance’s foundation was on par with some of the Guardian Temples. How could his Gong family compete with them?
Of course, if he knew that Xiao Yufan’s strength had never relied on the Heavenly Alliance, he might be utterly crushed.
At the same time, not only the hidden Gong family was extremely interested in Xiao Yufan, but others were also speculating about his strength.

“Hubby, it seems many people have already noticed us. After all, your performance was too dazzling. Even Situ Xuan, at the half-step Postnatal realm, had to concede defeat.”
After leaving the crowd, Yingluo’s melodious voice rang out. The other three women also wore expressions of confusion. Their husband didn’t seem like a reckless person.
Earlier, when he had given the hidden Guo family a warning, if it was just for revenge, then his high-profile act of severely injuring a peak Condensed Force expert and withstanding Situ Xuan’s attack seemed a bit strange.
“I just didn’t want to be bothered by small fry. Now, even if someone wants to cause trouble for me, they’ll have to weigh their own strength.”
Xiao Yufan wore a confident smile. The reason for his high-profile display was simply to deter those insignificant people from bothering him. He had offended many in the past, and if they all came to him one by one, he would be overwhelmed.
Nodding thoughtfully, the four women understood that their husband had his reasons for acting this way. However, they were still worried that his actions might provoke dissatisfaction from some.

Xiao Yufan naturally hoped that the hidden Guo family would lose their composure, giving him ample reason to take further action. For now, he felt a bit embarrassed, but the people of the hidden Guo family still deserved to die.
If he encountered that old dog or Guo Junyu, Xiao Yufan would not hold back. Even if he killed these two, he believed he could leave calmly.
This confidence didn’t just stem from the Heavenly Alliance but more so from his own strength. He was no longer the same person he was a few months ago. He would never again be so狼狈 in the hands of the hidden Guo family.
Gong Hao’s facial muscles twitched as he clenched his fists tightly. He simply couldn’t believe that Xiao Yufan’s strength had skyrocketed so quickly—so much so that even Siku Xuan couldn’t match him. Could it be that this guy had been playing possum all along?
“There’s nothing impossible about it. Haven’t you just recently improved your own strength? Below the Post-Heavenly realm, with the foundation provided by powerful hidden aristocratic families, it’s entirely possible to pave the way for such rapid advancement. What’s there to be surprised about?”
Gong Luotian remained calm on the surface, but only he himself knew how turbulent his inner thoughts were. A man capable of giving Siku Xuan headaches—could this person have already reached the Post-Heavenly realm? That would be terrifying indeed…
“That’s different. You must remember that my current strength was achieved through the use of many resources from the Gong family…”
“Do you really think the Tian Alliance’s foundation is inferior to ours? If you keep quiet, no one will mistake you for an idiot!”
A flicker of disdain passed through Gong Luotian’s eyes. Naturally, he felt somewhat displeased. If it weren’t for Gong Hao’s status, he wouldn’t have had access to so many resources from the hidden Gong family, nor would his strength have risen so rapidly—something even Gong Luotian himself envied.
Gong Hao pursed his lips, suppressing his dissatisfaction. He knew very well Gong Luotian’s strength; the guy was the top expert of the hidden Gong family, and certainly not just a title.
At the mention of the Tian Alliance, even someone as arrogant as Gong Hao instinctively fell silent. The hidden Gong family had transformed him into a formidable young expert, while the Tian Alliance’s foundation was said to rival even some guardian temples. How could the Gong family possibly compete with them?
Of course, if he ever learned that Xiao Yufan’s strength had never relied on the Tian Alliance, who knows if he would be devastated beyond recovery!
At the same time, it wasn’t only the hidden Gong family that found Xiao Yufan intriguing; others were also speculating about his power. The martial arts competition was destined to witness some young experts rising to prominence, though no one yet knew which faction these emerging stars would belong to.
Nevertheless, the appearance of any young expert from a faction would bring significant influence and elevate their status. This was naturally the secret hope of many factions.
If not for such ulterior motives, the hidden Guo family would have faced far more resistance in hosting this martial arts competition. Self-interest from various factions had ironically played into the hidden Guo family’s hands.
Even Xiao Yufan himself hadn’t noticed that from the moment he arrived at the hidden Guo family estate, a pair of beautiful eyes had been watching him closely. A peerless beauty wept silently for him…
“Honey, this time around, many people must have noticed us already. After all, your performance was a bit too dazzling—even the half-step Post-Heavenly expert Siku Xuan ended up yielding to you!”
After leaving the crowd, Yingluo’s melodious voice rang out. The other three women also wore expressions of mild confusion. Their husband didn’t seem like an impulsive person.
Previously, delivering a warning to the hidden Guo family members might have been understandable as retaliation. But to publicly wound a Ningjing peak expert and challenge a half-step Post-Heavenly like Siku Xuan seemed somewhat strange.
“I just wanted to discourage some nuisances from bothering me. Now, anyone wishing to come after me will have to think twice about their own strength!”
Xiao Yufan wore a confident smile. His reason for being so conspicuous was simply to prevent troublemakers from disturbing him. He had made many enemies before; if they all came after him one by one, he would be constantly on the run.
Nodding thoughtfully, the four women understood their husband had his reasons. Still, they worried that his actions might provoke resentment from others.
Though Xian’er and the other three women remained silent, Xiao Yufan could tell what they were thinking. He sent them a reassuring glance. With his current strength, he had no reason to fear anyone…
Siku Xuan hadn’t continued the fight not because he had seen through Xiao Yufan’s power, but because he was clever enough to realize the situation. Besides his caution regarding Xiao Yufan’s strength, he also wanted to create a false impression for others—that they would speculate about Xiao Yufan’s abilities.
It was indeed a ruthless move, but Xiao Yufan had simply chosen not to expose it. If anyone really wanted to test his strength, he wouldn’t mind playing along.
He had been at the hidden Guo family estate for quite some time now, yet the Guo family had remained completely silent. He couldn’t help but feel pity for that fool—the Guo family hadn’t even shown any reaction to their member being beaten.
Naturally, Xiao Yufan hoped the hidden Guo family would lose their composure, giving him sufficient reason to take further action. At the moment, he almost felt a bit embarrassed. However, the people from the hidden Guo family still deserved to die!
If he encountered that old dog or Guo Junyu, Xiao Yufan certainly wouldn’t hold back. Even if he ended up killing both, he was confident he could escape unscathed…
This confidence didn’t stem solely from the Tian Alliance, but more importantly from his own strength. He was no longer the man he had been months ago—he would never again be forced into such a humiliating defeat at the hands of the hidden Guo family…
