“You’ve lost…”
Three minutes later, the four of them were lying on the ground in various positions. Xiao Yufan staggered slightly, barely managing to steady his swaying body.
Could their strength, which they had exerted to the fullest, really be weak? Xiao Yufan believed that if he had been as arrogant as he was before today, it would have been him lying on the ground.
“Long live the Young Master!”
The Dark Gate members erupted into wild cheers. Seeing their own leader knocked down, they felt an immense sense of satisfaction—who wouldn’t, after being abused all this time?
“These little bastards… Looks like I’ll have to discipline them more later. Each one of them enjoys others’ misfortunes more than the next!”
Xiao Dao and the others looked at their subordinates with this thought in mind. As soon as the Dark Gate members saw that gaze, they wisely shut up. Phew, they were scared stiff!
“Feel good?” Xiao Yufan smiled, his face showing excitement. Although it had only been a few minutes, he could already feel the scattered energy within his body slowly gathering together. If he could keep fighting against Xiao Dao and the others a few more times like this, the integration would likely be complete.
“Feels great!” Xiao Dao, who had sustained the lightest injuries, naturally replied. It was precisely because Xiao Yufan had intentionally held back that he wasn’t hurt badly. After all, he didn’t want to worry Sister Shi Yun.
“Great, my request isn’t too high—I just want you all to accompany me for one round each day for the next couple of days!”
“Ga…”
Still not fully recovered, Xiao Dao nearly jumped up from the ground upon hearing this. Although he was somewhat of a martial arts fanatic, he wasn’t quite a masochist who enjoyed being beaten.
“Can I take back what I just said?”
Feeling the eyes of Wang Wei and the other two instantly turn toward him, Xiao Dao immediately deflated. Damn it, why did he open his mouth? Now he had dragged three big bosses into this mess. He was already mentally preparing himself for another thrashing.
“No way!”
Of course, Xiao Yufan’s single sentence shattered his last hope. Xiao Dao could already imagine the three of them grabbing him with fierce expressions and beating him up.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Young Master must now be an expert in internal energy!”
At this moment, Wang Wei finally spoke. If there was one among the four who was closest to reaching the realm of self-cultivation, it would be him.
“It seems you already know…”
Xiao Yufan slightly furrowed his brows but wasn’t particularly surprised, as he had a vague suspicion that Wang Wei knew about the existence of internal energy experts and the realm of self-cultivation.
“I’ve only heard about it from others. I merely understand the concept of internal energy!”
Wang Wei’s expression changed slightly as he spoke, and the hesitation in his eyes didn’t escape Xiao Yufan’s notice.
“Hey, Young Master, what are you two talking about? I don’t understand a word!” Xiao Dao listened to their conversation but couldn’t grasp even half of it. It was like they were speaking in riddles—what was this “internal energy expert” they were talking about? It sounded pretty impressive.
Certainly, aside from Xiao Dao, Tianyi also looked confused, while Qinglong remained unusually quiet. If Xiao Yufan had to guess, this guy probably already knew about internal energy experts and the realm of self-cultivation.
“You’ll understand eventually…”
He himself only had a vague grasp of these concepts, so explaining them to Xiao Dao was out of the question. He decided not to bother.
“Okay…” Xiao Dao nodded dejectedly, pouting his lips. But judging from Wang Wei’s reaction, he was determined to find out sooner or later—he wasn’t going to let Wei Ge off the hook that easily.
Feeling the fluctuation of energy within his body, Xiao Yufan’s lips curved into a slight smile. The realm of gathering energy—wasn’t far away anymore…
