Chapter 4: The Furious Lion!

Chapter 4: The Furious Lion!

"What's going on? Xiao Ning got beaten?"

The elder rushed towards the Martial Skill Pavilion, questioning his followers behind him.

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Ze came to trouble Young Master Xiao Ning. Young Master Xiao Ze is very powerful; he pinned Young Master Xiao Ning to the ground and beat him."

The follower hurriedly explained, furrowing the elder's brow.

Xiao Ze usually kept a low profile and didn't reveal his strength, not even participating in the test assembly. It was unexpected that he still concealed his abilities.

Originally, he looked down on Xiao Ze for not participating in the test assembly, just like the mainstream opinion. He thought Xiao Ze was afraid to be compared to Xiao Yan and would rather be laughed at than lose to Xiao Yan.

He didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ze's absence from the test assembly.

But now the follower told him that Xiao Ze wasn't lacking in cultivation talent.

On the contrary, he was very powerful, able to pin Xiao Ning to the ground and beat him, at least at the advanced stage of Dou Qi!

The elder's thoughts were troubled, but his steps didn't falter as he hurried along.

As soon as he arrived at the Martial Skill Pavilion, he saw Xiao Ze fighting someone.

Xiao Ze straddled the person, relentlessly punching him as he lay on the ground.

The person looked miserable, screaming frantically, his face swollen like a pig's head.

If it weren't for the follower's information, the elder probably wouldn't recognize that it was Xiao Ning!

After a brief moment of astonishment, a surge of heartache and then anger welled up in the elder's heart.

Furious, the elder disregarded the rules of the family:

"Do not harm the younger generation without cause!"

His body surged with Dou Qi, rushing towards the center of the crowd.

The strong pressure of Dou Qi made the surrounding crowd turn pale.

The elder quickly reached Xiao Ze, his palm filled with Dou Qi, angrily striking towards Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze had already noticed the elder's approach. In terms of soul perception, he was not weak!

Dou Qi churned madly within his body, squeezing out a large amount of Dou Qi, gathering it in his palms following a specific route of circulation.

Advanced Earth-tier martial skill, Swallow's Reversal!

Xiao Ze's faint blue Dou Qi suddenly shone brightly, clashing with the elder's palm in a confrontation!

Xiao Ze didn't directly clash with the elder but instead used this force to flip his body several times, lightly landing on the edge of the training ground like a dragonfly touching the water.

The onlookers, with pale faces, stared at Xiao Ze in disbelief, full of incredulity.

If Xiao Ze's attribute Dou Qi on his hands had shocked them before, now they were simply incredulous!

Xiao Ze actually blocked the elder's attack with the strength of a cultivator!

The elder was also slightly stunned, seeing Xiao Ze effortlessly neutralize his attack.

A hint of absurdity surfaced in his mind.

Although he was furious, he still retained some rationality and didn't use any martial skills.

But he did use some Dou Qi to teach Xiao Ze a lesson.

To think that with his strength as a Great Dou Master, Xiao Ze could still safely neutralize it, truly shocked him.

Before the onlookers could react, a furious shout came from outside the Martial Skill Pavilion, sounding like a roaring lion.

"You old bastard, how dare you!"

Accompanied by a surge of pale blue Dou Qi, a figure rushed forward like a raging wind.

The entire Martial Skill Pavilion seemed to be swept up in a level 8 gale, causing the onlookers to sway and turn pale.

The Dou Qi oppression of a Great Dou Master made them feel extremely suffocated.

The strong Dou Qi surged, enveloping Xiao Zhan's entire body, even converging into an illusory lion's head on Xiao Zhan's face.

The lion's face was full of anger, as if it wanted to devour someone, looking terrifying!

This was none other than the top-level martial skill of the Xiao family, the Earth-tier intermediate martial skill—Raging Lion's Fury, which only the patriarch could master!

The elder's face changed abruptly, feeling the overwhelming pressure of Dou Qi and a faint sense of danger.

His mouth opened slightly, wanting to explain, but the enraged lion couldn't tolerate explanations, already transformed into a raging wind rushing towards him.

In his haste, the elder had no choice but to gather his Dou Qi.

Boom!!!

The two powerful Dou Qi collided without any hesitation, with the pale blue Dou Qi overwhelming the other, sending the opponent flying!

The onlookers had retreated to the edge of the training ground but still felt extremely suffocated, as if a boulder was pressing down on their chests.

All eyes were fixed on the center of the arena.

This was the strength of a powerhouse, the rule of the Dou Qi continent!

Powerhouses did as they pleased, and even bystanders could be harmed!

Some people cast their gazes on Xiao Ze, who stood still.

A faint blue glow enveloped Xiao Ze, resisting the impact of Dou Qi.

Their eyes were full of envy; this was what it meant to be a cultivator!

An existence they also needed to look up to.

The elder retreated dozens of steps, each step deeply embedded in the floor of the training ground.

The strong impact made his blood surge, his face somewhat flushed, then pale.

Struggling to swallow the blood he wanted to vomit, he made his complexion even more unsightly.

Xiao Zhan... Is he trying to kill me?

"You old bastard, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you!"

Xiao Zhan's hair stood on end, his eyes widened in anger, the pale blue Dou Qi surging around him like a furious lion.

His third son had just been beaten today, and Xiao Zhan was already full of anger.

But not long after, he witnessed the old bastard, the elder, bullying his younger son!

Xiao Zhan couldn't bear it anymore!

A five-star Great Dou Master combined with an Earth-tier intermediate martial skill; this blow was enough to make the elder suffer!

Xiao Zhan seemed like he wanted to continue.

The elder's blood was not flowing smoothly, his face alternating between blue and purple.

But for the sake of his dignity, he swallowed the blood he wanted to spit out and didn't have time to explain.

At a critical moment, Xiao Ze's voice sounded.

"Father, I'm fine."

Under the pressure of a Great Dou Master's Dou Qi, Xiao Ze approached, smiling to comfort Xiao Zhan.

Then he turned to the elder and said, "Elder, isn't this a bit unfair?"

"This morning you said that sparring among juniors was not something you should interfere with."

"And now, you're bullying my younger brother, going against your own words. Elder, are your words just hot air?"

"Or is it that only your son, Xiao Ning, can fight others, and it's considered sparring among peers?"

"If someone else fights your Xiao Ning, it's not considered sparring among peers, and you need the elder to intervene?"

Xiao Ze's words were like a stab to the heart!

After all, just this morning, the elder had said that the fight between Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning was a sparring among juniors and that Xiao Zhan shouldn't be petty and calculative.

But this afternoon, Xiao Ning was beaten, and he angrily intervened, bullying the younger generation in the family.

The people in the training ground, upon hearing Xiao Ze's words, began to discuss fervently, pointing fingers at the elder.
