"He’s... unhard?!"
Seeing the figure of the young man still standing upright and his breath undisturbed, both the cultivators watching below the stage and the many comrce bigwigs on the high platforms were almost dropping their jaws to the ground.
At this mont, there were doubtlessly other spirit battles ongoing on the other stages, but now, all eyes were fixated on the Qi Seeking No.1 stage.
Because compared to the dull fights on the other stages, perhaps the incident on this stage could be a hundred tis more interesting. That young man nad Yun Xiao seed to have a fighting power that was not just at the Qi Seeking Realm Early Stage as it appeared to be on the surface.
"Chairman Xu Huang, is this what you call fairness and justice at the Spirit Fighting Conference? It seems rather disappointing!"
After withstanding Xu Huan’s strike, Yun Xiao didn’t pay attention to the sowhat doubtful young master of the comrce. Instead, he directly turned his head towards the high platform in the north, his loud voice not at all concealed, thick with sneering ridicule.
Hearing this, the watching crowd and the contestants who had just claid victories all slowly nodded their heads in agreent. If spirit battles all ended up like this, with the loser fighting using their true form, then what was the significance of holding the Spirit Fighting Conference?
Even so contestants felt relieved that they hadn’t encountered Xu Huan in this round. If they won, they’d face the fate of offending Douling Comrce, and they likely didn’t have the boldness of Yun Xiao to question the deputy chairman to his face.
Suddenly being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes from below, even Xu Huang, with his thick skin, found it hard to maintain his composure. However, at this mont, no matter how angry he was inside, he could not admit in public that the Spirit Fighting Conference was unfair.
Because the Special Envoy from the headquarters, Xia Yong, was watching. The Spirit Fighting Conference had always been a special ans for Douling Comrce to enhance its reputation. If the event were to be tarnished, it would be a significant blow to the comrce itself.
Originally, Xu Huang thought that his son, who was in the Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage, would be able to kill Yun Xiao with one blow. Then, for the sake of a dead person, presumably, no one would dare to stand out and accuse Douling Comrce of negligence.
At most, Xu Huan would be accused of reckless manslaughter, punished moderately, and everything would end on a happy note. But what was happening on the stage now was starkly different from Xu Huang’s previous complacent calculations.
That young man nad Yun Xiao had not only withstood Xu Huan’s powerful strike but had also questioned them as if he was an unaffected bystander. This made Xu Huang’s mood incredibly complex in an instant.
Yet being watched by so many pairs of eyes, Xu Huang couldn’t not give an explanation. As he saw his rolling eyes, he suddenly stood up from his chair, his face filled with extre rage—whether genuine or feigned was unknown.
"Insolent brat, won’t you roll off the stage?"
A roar erupted from Xu Huang’s mouth, and as the crowd felt sothing amiss, Xu Huan’s face was filled with disbelief. Was this really his father who had always cherished him?
At this mont, Xu Huan couldn’t help but recall the slap he had received a few days ago. Sowhat losing his sanity, he yelled out, "Father, are we, the grand Douling Comrce, afraid of a little bastard?"
At this mont, Xu Huan really let everything go, speaking without filtering his words. As the sound of his voice faded, many sighed and shook their heads. Even the Special Envoy from the comrce headquarters, Xia Yong, frowned slightly.
"How could Xu Huang, who seems rather shrewd, give birth to such a foolish son?"
As the Special Envoy from the headquarters, Xia Yong was highly covetous of Yun Xiao’s ridian Spirit, but he wouldn’t show the slightest bit of it. Right now, Xu Huan on the stage, in his eyes, was no different from a shrew scolding on the street, simply embarrassing Douling Comrce.
"You little beast, dare to backtalk?"
Seeing the displeased expression in Xia Yong’s eyes, Xu Huang felt a heavy jolt in his heart. His anger was far from trivial, wondering if the special reminder he had given that day had been cast aside by that unfilial son.
The rare visit of the Special Envoy to Yuyang City coincided with the Spirit Fighting Conference was undoubtedly a chance for Xu Huang to further advance. Therefore, he would not allow any accidents to occur. He had to ensure that this Spirit Fighting Conference went smoothly to leave a profound impression on the Special Envoy.
In Xu Huang’s heart, he wanted his son to perform well and make a good impression in front of the Special Envoy. Yet he had never expected that the face shown would be in such a sarcastic way.
"Yun Xiao, I will kill you!"
Unsupported by his father, the already irrational Xu Huan beca even more reckless. Hearing his loud roar, he charged towards Yun Xiao once again.
"Great Elder, won’t you capture that little beast for ?"
Seeing Xu Huan’s action, the furiously raging Xu Huang himself beca quite thoughtless with his words. If the forr is a little beast, what does that make his father who bore him?
However, when Xu Huang spoke these words, he gave a aningful glance to the Great Elder who had darted out. The latter understood imdiately, and his speed noticeably slowed down at that mont.
It turned out that although Xu Huang was furious at his son’s loss of composure, he hated the youngster nad Yun Xiao even more. He thought to himself, if it hadn’t been for this boy, how could Xu Huan have ended up in such a state?
Yun Xiao had managed to take the earlier blow impressively, but in Xu Huang’s heart, he still didn’t believe that Yun Xiao could be a match for his son, and perhaps with this strike, his son could make a great achievent.
After all, Xu Huan was his son. Even though Xu Huang cursed him as a worthless creature, he still hoped that his son could be the first to kill Yun Xiao. Without the plaintiff, everything else would be easy to deal with.
Due to the Great Elder’s slowed movents, it appeared that Xu Huan’s first strike couldn’t be stopped by any ans, and at this mont, everyone’s gaze was once again fixed on the platform, all eager to see whether the youngster nad Yun Xiao could create another miracle like before.
Swish!
But this ti, the crowd saw a rather bizarre scene, because the boy in coarse clothes did not stretch out his fist to et Xu Huan’s attack head-on; instead, he simply raised his hand, and a blood-red fla appeared before him.
This fla did not seem to emit much heat. Apart from its strange color, when compared to the fiery red bird’s flas earlier, it was not even worthy to be ntioned.
However, it was this blood-red fla that caused Xu Huang’s face to change dramatically on the high platform, especially when he saw his son’s face reveal a cold smile, and his movents continued unwaveringly toward the fla.
"Huan’er, don’t touch that fla, get away quickly!"
At this point, for the sake of his own son’s life, Xu Huang could no longer care about anything else and shouted a warning. After all, in his heart, his only son was the most important thing.
Xu Huang’s sensing ability was much stronger than his son’s; even from such a distance, he could subconsciously sense the heart-palpitating power within the blood-red fla.
Even as a cultivator in the Seeking Origin Realm, sensing danger from the fla, despite the blood-red fla’s aura not being very powerful, Xu Huang knew that it was extraordinary; hence he voiced a warning.
Having already lost his senses, Xu Huan suddenly heard his father’s warning, and it sohow brought him to his senses. He also heard a hint of panic in that voice.
In Xu Huan’s mory, the last ti his father had such a tone was because they had offended a powerful individual from Xuanyin Hall who had disguised themselves. He never expected that such a tone would reappear today.
Due to his unwavering trust in his father, in that mont, even though Xu Huan did not sense the special energy in the blood-red fla, he instinctively shifted his arm slightly, brushing past the fla. The gust of wind raised made the fla waver slightly.
"What a pity!"
Seeing that Xu Huan hadn’t touched his Ancestral Vein Fire, a hint of disappointnt flickered in Yun Xiao’s eyes; this was his trump card against high-rank cultivators.
Yun Xiao believed that if Xu Huan had touched the blood-red fla, his fist would likely have been destroyed, and a mont’s delay might have even cost him his entire arm or even his life.
But all these terrifying consequences were averted with the shift of Xu Huan’s arm, and with this mont’s delay, the Douling Comrce Great Elder could not keep dragging his feet and finally leaped onto the Qi Seeking No. 1 platform.
"Young Master Huan, please stop making a scene. The Chairman is already angry!"
The Great Elder was still very polite to the young master of Douling Comrce. At this mont, whether Xu Huan had cald down or not, he no longer made an unreasonable fuss.
"Yun Xiao, I, Xu Huan, have lost this ti, but... you better watch out!"
Xu Huan, who had cald down, reverted back to his status as the young master of Douling Comrce. However, the threat in his last sentence was clear to everyone.
It seems that Xu Huan could no longer trouble Yun Xiao in the Spirit Fighting Conference, but once the conference was over, it was likely that this grudge would be reignited and not so easily settled.
At this mont, many people looked at Yun Xiao with a peculiar gaze. This person, who had shone so brightly in the Spirit Fighting Conference, had offended Douling Comrce as a result. Whether it was worth it or not was a matter of opinion.
Despite the apparent scolding Xu Huang directed at his son at the mont, everyone knew that blood was thicker than water. Perhaps in the Chairman’s heart, his hatred for Yun Xiao was the deepest.
A previously unknown youngster, who had offended Douling Comrce overnight, would probably find no place to call ho in the Southern Domain of Tenglong Continent.
