At the pinnacle of凝聚劲气, one truly commands formidable prowess. If Guo Qi’s strength were measured against those beyond this place, he would certainly be deemed an expert. Yet, he had overlooked the fact that everyone present here was no mere ordinary individual…
“Hmph, there are actually people who aren’t afraid of death. No wonder this guy looks so disdainfully upon the hidden Guo family—they’re all conceited people!”
Seeing Guo Qi make his move, Hong Zhong couldn’t help but shake his head. Even he himself couldn’t gain any advantage against Xiao Yufan, and he could already foresee the outcome. At the peak of凝聚劲气, one might be considered an expert, but in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, it was definitely not impressive enough.
Translation:
As Guo Qi sprang into action, Hong Zhong couldn’t help but shake his head. Even he himself couldn’t gain an advantage over Xiao Yufan, and he could already foresee the outcome. Reaching the pinnacle of condensed energy might mark someone as an expert, but in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, it was undoubtedly not impressive enough.
Sure enough, as soon as Guo Qi extended his hand, he instantly appeared before Xiao Yufan. Just as he was secretly excited, his smile froze on his lips!
He had practically used all his strength, yet this man in front of him blocked it with just one hand. Then, he felt a surging force flood into his body, rendering his entire arm completely numb.
Puu!
Completely unprepared, Guo Qi was sent flying backward. The onlookers immediately fell into stunned silence. They could sense Guo Qi’s strength—it was only a single step away from the凝结之境. Yet such a young expert had been defeated in one move by Xiao Yufan.
Murmurs immediately spread through the crowd, with everyone speculating about Xiao Yufan’s identity. To be able to send Guo Qi, who possessed strength at the peak of凝聚劲气, flying with just a single move, his power could no longer even be described as terrifying…
“Ah?” Although he had predicted the outcome, Hong Zhong hadn’t expected it to end so quickly. If he himself faced this guy, it definitely wouldn’t be this easy. Moreover, watching Xiao Yufan’s demeanor, he hadn’t even moved a single step.
Guo Qi’s face, flying backward, had already twisted in pain. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was outright humiliating him. But he wasn’t foolish—he could still sense from that single exchange that Xiao Yufan was someone he couldn’t possibly rival.
“Bringing shame upon yourself. It seems you’re even more foolish than those two guys…”
Xiao Yufan glanced at Guo Qi, whose expression kept changing, and his face bore a more noticeable smile. Seeing that devilish grin, Guo Qi felt a chill run down his back, and he didn’t even have the courage to stand up.
“Young and arrogant—indeed, the man chosen by Yingluo must have something special!”
At this moment, a slightly aged voice slowly drifted over from behind. A hint of joy appeared on Hu Yingluo’s face as she turned and walked toward the approaching figure.
“Fourth Grandfather, you’ve finally arrived…”
Hearing Yingluo’s address, Xiao Yufan immediately realized this elder must be the fourth elder of the Hu family accompanying Yingluo. Yet judging from appearances, this old man didn’t seem like a traditional stick-in-the-mud.
“If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t your little boyfriend here be leaving the hidden Guo family with no face to show?”
With a doting pat on Yingluo’s shoulder, Elder Four’s gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yufan, his eyes brimming with indescribable admiration. However, Xiao Yufan felt as if he were being eyed by an old fox, making him feel uneasy all over.
His instincts told Xiao Yufan that Yingluo’s Fourth Grandfather definitely stood at the peak of the late-stage Cultivation Realm, perhaps even with one foot into the Xiantian Realm, because he could sense a slight oppressive aura emanating from the elder…
“Junior greets Fourth Grandfather. I’ve heard much about you from Yingluo, and now that I see you, you’re even more amiable than I had imagined!”
Regardless, this elder was Yingluo’s Fourth Grandfather, and he at least deserved basic respect. Thus, Xiao Yufan stepped forward and slightly bowed toward the elder.
“Arrogant, fierce, yet not conceited!” This was the general impression everyone had of Xiao Yufan. Regardless of how formidable Xiao Yufan’s strength was, at the very least, this was something that the now defeated Guo Qi could never match…
