Smack! Smack!
No one knew who started it, but a continuous wave of applause rang out across Anyuan Plaza. Judging by the gratified smiles on the elders' faces, such applause was undoubtedly the greatest praise they could give a "little baby" like Li Tianming!
One had to know that applauding Li Tianming was equivalent to using those same palms to slap another group across the face... Yet they still applauded, which only showed their recognition of the strength Li Tianming had displayed!
In this world of cultivation, true strength was admired wherever one went!
To An Tianyi, who had only just slightly recovered from the stabbing agony in his soul, this applause was undoubtedly like ten thousand swords piercing his heart!
He was the young clan emperor, the imperial clan's crown prince who had been born with a golden spoon in his mouth. His mother, Mu Dongyuan, had raised him from childhood in virtue, intellect, physique, beauty, and labor, molding him according to a flawless template!
The more perfect one was, the higher one held oneself. If one suddenly fell someday, the blow would be unimaginably severe.
What differed between Li Tianming and him was that Li Tianming had risen from dust. Right at the beginning, he had suffered Lin Xiaoting's fatal blow. He had experienced victory, defeat, gains, and losses alike. Even if he lost a battle, his heart would not collapse in a bloody ruin like this!
An Tianyi's eyes instantly turned red!
"What are you applauding for?!"
His face twisted viciously. He actually glared at those elders and, unable to endure it any longer, angrily rebuked them, "You applaud an outsider? Are you all eating from our bowl while smashing our pot? Is this the An Clan or the Li Clan?!"
The elders were clearly taken aback.
