A child was born unable to cultivate Inner Strength. In order to gain his father's attention and regard, he resolutely chose the painful and difficult path of cultivating Outer Strength. As spring gave way to autumn, time flew by, and the child grew up... he became a young man. What truly changed his destiny was a mysterious Crystal Stone formed from a meteor—the Meteor Tear. This Meteor Tear, unbeknownst to the young man, merged into his body, and like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, the young man metamorphosed... And with that transformation, everything changed. And his father finally came to realize the astonishing strength of the son he had never truly invested his Heart Power in...
At this moment, the atmosphere atop the grand hall was incredibly suppressed, with Hou Fei and Cha Hong facing off against each other, as if they could come to blows at any moment.
Cha Hong secretly marveled in his heart, "This monkey's strength is truly formidable, comparable to the experts of the early-stage Cave Void. But if he truly faces me, he doesn't stand a chance." Cha Hong was full of confidence.
"Cave Master, this Marquis came to be a protector, not to take insults. If Sang Mo provoked me, he was asking for death. If he hadn't provoked me, why would I have killed him?"
Hou Fei's voice echoed throughout the grand hall.
"Hmm, he provoked you?" Cha Hong pondered for a moment, "Protector Hou Fei, hmm, there indeed seems to be an issue with that rule. If he bullied you, provoked you, and you refrained from dealing with him due to that rule, it truly would be a humiliation."
Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the grand hall no longer seemed as tense as before.
